RESTRICTIONS ON GOLD
STORAGE BUSINESS.

Indications are that Congress viii
throw restrictions around the cold
storage business. The special com
mittee of the Senate which is investi-
eating the increased cost OF living has
presented TO the Senate, through Sen
ator Lodge, a bill intended to prevent
the holding of articles of food in cold
storage more than one year and to
require the labelling OF cold storage
articles so as to indicate clearly how
long they have been stored. The bill
provides that an article held in cold
storage over one year shall be deemed
aduiterated within the meaning Of the
pure food law, and that an article not
labeled so as to show how long 1t has
been IN cold storage shall be deemed
misbranded.
Senator Lodge, in introducing the
bill, declared that 1t affected "the
whole question of the perishable food
supply of the American people" The
statement he made to the Senate for
the committee says the committee Is
convinced from its inquiries that some
limit ought 70 be put on the use Of cold
storage Tor the purpose of maintain
ing OF advancing prices artifeially."
The committee thinks the limit Of time
proposed in the bill viii tend to
equalize prices and IN some cases 10 a
reduction.
Not merely because Of prices, but
for hygieRic reasons. Is the committee
moved to recommend this legislation.
Representative J Hampton Moore, who
Is chairman OF the subcommittee 20 IN
vestigate food prices IN the District. has
a similar bill IN the House.
Without question Congress should
take hold of the cold storage question
and proceed to regulate II. There can
be no doubt that through cold storage.
as now practiced, the country Is sad
died with artificial prices. For health
reasons alone there should be reguIa-
ton. The Investigations OF the De
partment Of Agriculture make It plain
that the character OF food products,
meats, Is changed By long
existence in cold storage, and some
times made absolutely unfit for use.

DISTRICT ENTITLED TO UNI
vERSAL TRANSFERS.

IN spite Of the arguments Of counsel
for the traction companies. the fact
remains that the people Of the District
OF Columbia are entitled 10 the con
yenience Of universal transfers
Broadly speaking, the patrons OF any
public service company should be given
advantages IN improved service and
reduced rates Just as rapidly as the
earnings OF the company justify them.
The patrons create the earnings and
are willing to contribute literally
during the period of upbuiIdIng which
every public service company must
pass through They do not grumble
seriously If they have to pay compare
lively high rates and submit to com
Paratively poor service, so long as they
know that every effort Is being made by
the managers OF the corporation to put
the property on a better basis Of eff
cheney. But when the time arrives that
finds the company past its formative
period; when the receipts and expendi-
lures occupy such relations to each
other that, after al expenses are met.
a substantial dividend can be paid to
stockholders, thereby permitting those
who have invested their money IN the
enterprise to enjoy a liberal return
then Is the time for the patrons to de-
be given-reduced rates and
better service
In great measure this Is the situa-
ton in the District of Columbia TO-DAY
The stockholders IN the traction com
Panies are receiving good returns on
their investments, and have been for
several years. Even If considered as
dollar for dollar Of their
face value in cash actually paid into
the treasures of the companies, trac-
ton stocks are earning large dividends
The patron, who, IN this case, Is the
resident OF the District, therefore, has
the right to come forward, present his
demands, and expect TO have them con
sidered-
No demand has been made at this
time for reduced fares, but demand Is
made for improved service, the spe-
cifc request being for universal trans
fers- The District Is certainly entitled
to them and should have them Co..
gress should enact such legislation as

REPRESENTATIVES, COUDREY
AND HAT PINS.

Representative Coudrey of Missouri
must be credited with being in full
possession Of the courage Of his con
victions. no matter what may be the
verdict on his judgment He has In
1roduced in the House a bII To curb
the long hat pin evil in the District
Of Columbia
The ladies may be expected 70 pro
test Indignantly that there Is no such
evil, on the ground that it Is well
known and generally accepted that any
idiOsyneracy OF headgear in which they
wish TO indulge Is but the manifesto
ton Of that sweet whimsical uncer-
tsinty which makes woman so beloved
by man. Women's hats, for all that
may be said and written Of them in
scOTn and derision. are appTtenances
for the heightening of feminine charm.
and II long pins are necessary to keep
them secure upon the fair heads Of
their wearers, how can a mere mem
Der Of Congress be justified IN lifting
his voice IN criticism3
Was Representative Coudrey ever
jabbed in the eye by the protrudinc
spear which he beh0Ids as such a
menace TO the health and happiness of
Washington? Did he ever have to duck
MS head IN a street car OF elevator TO
escape impalement2 Has an outraged
public clamored at his office door for
relief from torture and threatened
blindness Does he gaze into the not
distant future and see the Nations
Capital with half its vision DESTROYED
by the Ubiquitous skewer in miIadv's

These are the queries that VIII arise
when the women Of the District really
get their minds 10 working on the
COUdrey hat pin bill And there VIII
be Others ar Coudrey may be re
quested to demonstrate, on the floor Of
the House, Just what process must be
followed by the woman OF Washington
Who Is anxious to obey the law and
at the same time is confronted BY the
necessity OF fastening one of these
new, TakishIy tilted, haIf-fauing-oT
hats onto her head with one of the
Ahssouian's safe and sane pins. which

There are two issues which It Is par
ticularly dangerous for man 10 raise in
his dealings with woman. One is that
delicate uncertainty pertaining 10 her
age The other Is that which reflects
N the slightest degree upon her hat.
Mr. COUdrev has seen fit to ignore one

s+OAN SHARK BILL MEETS
PUBLIC DEMANDS.

As passed by the Senate THURSDAY
afternoon, the loan shark bill offers
an effective remedy for the evils arising
from the operations Of the objectionable
loan agencies IN the District. It Is to
be hoped the House VIII follow the
action Of the upper body without IN
necessary delay The need for such a
law has been amply demonstrated bv
the local interests which have been
pushing the measure, so there would
seem to be no reason why It should not
speedily become operative.
The amendments to the bill adopted
on the floor OF the Senate make II even
n better regulatory measure than whom
It came out of committee. The license
fee was increased from 500 to S5o0
a year, and should have the effect OF
reducing the number Of loan agencies
and raising the standard OF those
which remain Another important and
beneficial provision added on the floor
Is that requiring the lender 70 furnish
the borrower a statement showing the
amount of the loan, the date on which
Il Is made, the date on which It Is due.

the lender to give the borrower plainly
written receipts for al payments. This
requirement viii do much TO enable the
borrower 10 protect himself. as one Of
the chief complaints against the agen-

the records of all Offices shall be open

The action of the Senate, following

committee, should give the loan agency

SONS viii go a long way toward set
Ting the points at issue The com
mittee's report should establish in the
minds Of fair people the correctness Of
the theory that the District is entitled
to the benefits of the Morrill, acts for
the same reasons the States and Terri
tories are entitled to them.
The question whether, under the cir
cumstances, it Is proper for the Gov
eminent TO designate a private educa-
tional Institution as the administrator
of the fund should also be accepted
as settled.
No objection can be raised to the pro-
vision which makes three years the
time for which George Washington
University shall administer the fund.
This viii give opportunity for pTac-
teal test and viii leave Congress free
to designate another administrator If
such action Is deemed advisable after
three years. The university cannot de
cline TO accept the condition, because
its imposition viii give it just the oP-
POrtunity It asks to prove itself. If
Congress is ready, at the end of three

free to transfer the appropriation TO
that institution. As a matter Of fact
it Is probable no such school viii be
established, and that George Washing

administrator of the Districts share
OF the funds

Is that which limits the tuition in the 1
courses Of agriculture and mechanic /
