tered beyond all need. ii may be neceS-
sary to depend upon the straps for prof.
its. But in these days Of official super
vision over the financial organization OF
public utility companies there is no occa-
sion for such a state of affairs The
present local public utilities commission
has Jurisdiction and powers enabling il
to determine the rishtful ratio between
capital and service. and il the Law ere
ating IL Is thoroughly enforced the local
corporations will be compelled to give re
turns to tho public in exchange for the
facilities granted in the use OF public
spaces and possibly the enjoyment Of vir-
tual monopoiics.
When corporation declares that it
cannot render = certain service without
losing money it Is the right and the duty
OF a supervisory body such as the utilities
commission to determine the basis for
this contention. What does it cost to OPP
crate the cars? What does 1t cost to
make the gas" What does 1t cost to pro-
duce the power, What can these various
services be given for with fair profit to
the corporations? Such questions can be
determined and the public expects them
to be answered in terms of regulations
that will yield the maximum Of service Of
all kinds
In the present contention. regarding the
RESPONSIVENESS of the running board and
platform rule. VI is for the commission
to decide whether cars Of a proper type
can be operated in compliance with this
rule. on sufficiently close Roadway to
carry the crowds at the hours Of con-
eestion. II this cannot be done, IL there
IS no possibility Of moving the crowds
with large enough cars. without en-
dangerins the public safety by too mar

will be to establish more lines. giving
more numerous outlets from the points
Of concentrated traffic. Washington has
by no means been brought to the point
of street railway repletion. and there are
many opportunities for Improvement in
the construction of trunk and branch
lines. distributing the traffic more evenly
and permitting a speedy handling of the
people during the rushes. so that in the
final consideration OF this matter the
commission has wide range of possi-
bilities and the power virtually unlim-
tied to adopt remedies.

Authors and Office.

The Senate should organize new
committee committee on authors
If books that men have written arc of
consequence when the writer's are
na med for federal office subject to con-
firmation by the Senate. the Senate
should be prepared to make investiga-
tons promptly.
Such a committee should be COM
posed, of course, of we'll read men. Not
every senator. however fond of read
ing he may have been at the start has
had the time to keep up with the pro-
cession. OF late years books have been
pouring from the presses, and on a
wide variety of subjects.
Now. politics, like the law. is a
jealous mistress. The game has become
one calling for constant attention and
the study OF finesse. A successful
player cannot afford dips into best
sellers OF any kind. What Reginald
and Mary Jane are saying and doing in
the latest novel. or what discoveries
Mr.. y has recently made in the science
Of governments there Is a science of
government-cannot interest a man
who must see that his fences are
strong. and kept in order.
Still. there are men in the Senate not
hard driven at home, and thus they are
keencr upon the reading scent than
others. They go back to the ancients
now and then, and make an occa-
SIGNAL excursion into the performances
OF the moderns. Such are the senators
who would serve we'll on the commit
tee on authors.
And in sending his nominations to the
Senate. tho President where an author
is chosen, should identify him. AS for
instance: Mr.. Y. author of Through
Blood and Flame Nover-to be min
lister to Venezuela. Mr.. i. author of
the governmental treatise, How Long
VIII 1t Last?" to be minister to Portu-
gal Mr.. z. author OF How to Best
Impress the Bunch in the Jury Box"
to be district attorney for the northern
district OF the state OF Blank
There should be no discourugemen in
the matter of choosing authors Tor
political office. OFTEN they are Very
competent men. Great Britain has tried
writers. even OF fiction. in practical af-
fairs, and been we'll served by them.
So have We. Our list il long. and some
of the names are widely known and
greatly admired. Let US continue to
give our fictionists and philosopher rs
and historians a chance in the dis
tribution of our national political pat
ronaSe.

A Tariff for Revenue Only.

In some observations in the Senate
on the tariff bill. Mr.. Smith Of Georgia.
one of the democratic leaders. said:
We have done the best we could. TAX :

tons. In time. J hope. We will get
down to a revenue tariff basis. We
could not do that now. because ma ny

market"
This is frank. and In the old line OF
democratic appeal for power. 1t is
not. however. in the old line Of tariff
appeal from Georgia. The democracy
OF the Cracker state at one time leaned
strongly 10 protection. In his day
Senator Joe" Brown was classed as a
protectionist. and Judge Crisp. another
Georgian. was elected Speaker Of the
Fifty -second Congress over Roger Q.
Mills, on the strength of his con-
sentative tariff views "a opposed to
the revenue tariff views OF the Texan.
But Mr.. Smith doubtless speaks for
the state today OH the tariff question.
lie has served two terms as governor,
and was an easy winner in his sena-
toriai campaign. His voice is for a
tariff for revenue only as soon as it is
How soon that may be is of course
a question. If the Underwood revision
scores and business thrives under it
which is the prediction of its authors
and supporters revision of the re-
vision, with the direction still down

years. The Dingley revision, con-
structed on the lines OF protection.
proved SO successful in the business
conditions of that day, a revision was
recommended by President Mckinley
at the end Of four years.
SO now. If. as the advocates of 4
revenue tariff claim, protection as a
national policy has run its course. and
should be eliminated as rapidly as pos
sible. this Underwood revision should
prove the assertion: and, II 1t does a
further downward revision may be eX
pected shortly. IL the democratic tariff
contention is right and justifles itself
in action, that party's lease Of power
will be extended.
But IL the Underwood revision fails
in action; II serious business disturb

their output and heavy cuts in wages

will swing back. and tho republicans

structions TO revise the tarin again

an object rather than an incident.
Let the tariff debate go on. Mr..
Smiths frank ayowal is In itself an
excellent text for useful discussion.

Bright Business Outlook

From the Utica Press.
In many lines this IS supposed % be
the dullest season OF the year. and set
unprejudiced reports from a variety Of
sources agree that not only is business
good, but the prospects are bright. In
a sense IL is remarkable that this Is so,
because ordinarily the tariff agitation
would disturb conditions. 1t may be that
buyers arc making smaller purchases,
but il SO they are making them oftener.
The crop prospects are satisfactory, and
surely there is no reason to be discour-
aged or disturbed.
