FRENCH PARLIAMENT
CONVENES TOMORROW
Truce Between TWO Factions vii
Come to an End and Struggle
Will Commence. "

PARTS, May 5.-When parliament
convenes tomorrow after it's Easter
vacation of six weeks the truce be-
tween Clemenceau politicians and Presi-
dent Poincare will most probably
come to an abrupt end, and the Bar
thou cabinet will take it's stand upon
the firing line in the advocacy of ex.
ira millions for army and navy In
creases. The big issue to come before
the chamber of deputies will be of
deep interest to the United States
and will be closely watched by United
States representatives here. This is
the three-yearservice army bill,
which is almost identical in general
and in detail to the plan proposed by
! Major General Leonard Wood. Of the
American army Another big issue is
1 the proposed hundred million dollar
armament increase. A bitter fight is
predicted over these measures, though
the chances are that they will pass.
/ The socialists have been extremely
busy during the vacation just closing
stirring UP opposition, and that Jean
Suares, socialist leader on the floor
chamber will bring every atom of his
great ability into the battle to defeat
the measures is foregone conclu-
sion.
Had the three-year-army- service
bill been submitted to the chamber
prior to its vacation, it is declared it
would have been passed with com
paratively little opposition. The re-
action against it, however, has set in.

PUBLIC OPINION
Dickson and Telephones.

To the Editor of The Gate CITY:
Several stated to me they thought
It unfair for one who used his phone
very little to pay as much as one who
uses It quite often. We have, be-
sides. the rising and the departing
generations to think of and also the
new corners and retirers or departers.
Rent means also control and no count
affects matters. To have use rate
does not mean to pay every time the
phone is used. My position need not
be misstated It is as clear as can
be that If we can govern the rent
charge we can also govern the rate
for use. II now appears there are
few phones in this city where one
can pay as he goes and 1t is likaly a
charge covering both rent and use
Will break up rather than control the
phone paid on the use basis II both
rent and use are applied In but one
instance and one section 1t leaves It

ter in regulating both the rent charge
ana use rate. A stamp could hardly
apply to the phone message and a
slot FOR cash need not apply to private
users nor be stopped by fiat rate
for both rent and use. Let COM
arison be made: A typewriter may be
rented and the renter may use it all

out mower, corn planter or seeder
at 80 much per acre and set the time
for use. Others could not readily use
these tools but a phone not rented
but put in by the company for use ls
under the control of the company.
Sometimes the householder is held to
q strict promise MOTTO permit anyone
to use the phone other than those
agreed on. Thus there is mutual reg
ulat!on as we'll as accord and satisfac-

may be very much lower than 81 per
