REDUCTION IN PRICES FOR
PUBLIC LIGHTS.

A month ago the District Commits
siODers deIved into their archives and
dug up an old report Of a board of
army engineer officers on Great Falls
water power
The report looked pretty good. as
its authors deeIarez Il TO be advisable
70 use the power for generating cleo
tricity with which TO light the streets,
parks, and public buildings Of Wash
ington.
The Commissioners then invited the
interior Department to have sur
vey Of the falls and adjacent property
made, with a view OF determining
whether It would be advisable to ask
Congress for an appropriation 10 start

OF the District
The department put surveyors to
work, and a report from t-,em is ex-
prcted sool-
Now, the most interesting feature
OF these sz5ivities by the Commission
ers Is that soon after they became
known, cur old friend, the Washing
ton Gas monopoly, began to get nerv-
Gus Then it began TO get busy. This
week it began TO reduce prices
On Thursday the directors Of the
Gas Company announced a cut of a
nickel a thousand cubic feet in the
rate for gas to private consumers
Friday the Commissioners announced
the Gas Company had reduced rates
10 the District for public lighting.
It Is thus seen that, already, the
agitation for the use of the Great
Falls power has borne fruit. It vii
be interesting to observe whether the
Potomac Electric Power Company
shows an inclination to make eonces-
sions. either to the public OF to the
District.

TOO MODESTIN REQUEST FOR
MORE SALARY.

The District Commissioners are too
modest in making their request for an
increase in salaries They have pro
vided in their estimates for the fiscal
year 1912 an increase OF 81 ,OOO each,
suggesting that their salaries be $4,000
instead of 5000 per annum.
The people of the District OF Column
bia are ready-and Congress should be
ready-to pay the Commissioners

less than the position iustifes. but II

ers TO serve without serious sacrifice

THE DECISION IN THE AN
THRACITE COAL CASE.

IF the carly impressions Of the Gov
eminent prosecutors concerning the sig
nifcance Of the circuit court decision
in the anthracite coal case are borne
out by a detailed examination of the
opinion handed down on Thursday, at
Philadelphia, this case seems likely to
60 into the books as one of the most
important ever decided under the anti
trust law
With the information thus far at
hand, the Governments lawyers think
they have won the big, essential point
in their litigation. They charged that
the Temple Iron Company was the
meeting point OF the various interests
concerned in the alleged combination
to control the anthracite production
and its transportation 1t Is pointed
out that this Is almost exactly the
same contention that the Government
has raised IN its prosecution of the

was manifestly improper to use such
a figure months after the bill had be
come law. but when the bill was final
" passed it carried s3OII 900, instead
Of s.. 99s, $50 as indicated in the Jud-
son table OF s2,39s, 400 stated by
The Times
Major Judson, in his table, gave the
per capita expense of Washington's
schools as S9.227. This Is justified by
the method he used, but, as The Times
has already shown, that method Is not
a fair one. Included IN the total, which
he divided by an estimated population
Of 325,OO0, were items representing per
manent Improvements as well as items
representing maintenance. This was
true of the totals for all fourteen Of
the cities considered; the totals. fur
ther, were Tor one year only in each
city 4 fair comparison would neces-
state a separation of sums spent for
sites, buildings, and equipment and
sums spent for maintenance.
The only respect in which the error
in the figures for. the Districts total
appropriation for the current year ma
terially affects the conclusions reached
by The Times Is in the statement
showing the percentage of the total
budget used for schools in Washing
ton and in other cities. The Times
found the percentage for the current
year to be 22.7, and stated that eighty
of the ninety largest cities OF the coun-
try spend a greater percentage of their
budgets for public schools. Taking
S3,OII,96O as the total appropriation
for schools for the current year, the
percentage Of the total District budget
devoted TO schools Is found to be 2s.6;
reference TO the reports of the Census
Bureau shows that sixty-five of the
ninety largest cities of the country use
a greater percentage for school pur-
poses.

In commenting recently on Major
