Mr.. Wilson's First Annual Message

The announcement that the President
will deliver his annual message to Con
gress by word of mouth is of particular
interest only to the members Of that
body. and the comparatively few who
will be able the occasion 10
squeeze into the galleries of the
House.
II will have close attention, of
course. because of not only the matter,
but the source. Members OF the Sen
ate and of the House careless in their
treatment of orators among themselves
Some OF the most carefully prepared
oratfons are delivered to almost
empty benches \ new man Of note

but not longer, The popular attitude
is that OF print (which is Con

But as the President will be guest
and the most distinguished guest pos
sible-every chair the floor. and OF
course every seat upstairs, will be
filled The attendance and attention
will be ii deserved tribute to the
speaker.
OF wider and general interest is the
announcement that the message will
cover creation" as has been the rule
in such documents. Mr. Wilson will
not tire his hearers or later his read
ers. by spreading the whole business
II the national administration before
them at once. He will deal succinctly
with leading topics. and later. from
time 10 time, elaborate his views as
the topics ripen for congressional ac-
ton This Is change in procedure
which all should welcome
Even the ab!est writer's among the
men who have occupied the presidency
have failed to make themselves al
together interesting in their annual
messages The topics were too nu-
merous and of too great Importance to
be packed into one paper without max
ing il long and wearisome Some
readers began with hesitation, and all
ended with fatigue.
As MIR. Wilson's writing style is clear
and excellent he gives himself "a chance
in his plan. BY not attempting too
much. he should be able to handle
what he takes up in a way TO hold
attention for all of it. The length of
the document Will not appan while
those who start with him will keep his
company to the end.
There is no forecast of what topics
Mr.. Wilson will choose, or of how he
will treat such as he may choose. on
a number of questions he is expected
to speak sooner or later. The business
world IN particular is quite as curious
about his trust views as it was about
his tariff views, and has been since
about his currency views, and wonders
how closely he agrees with the views

ones is in relation to the overtaking OF
| street cars by vehicles at points where the
cars are stopping to take on or let off pas
sengers Formerly there was no regula-
| ton on this point and several accidents
occurred. due to the heedlessness of
| motorists in rushing by cars at such
points. The present rules require the
stopping of all vehicles at point not less
than fifteen feet behind a car which stops
for this purpose. The proposed regula-
ton outlined by the Board of Trade COM
mittee prescribes that "a vehicle overtak-
ing street car stopped to take up or set
down passengers shall exercise due eau
ton not to interfere with or harm them
always coming to very slow and safe
speed and stopping when necessary II
is matter for thoughtful consideration
by the Commissioners whether such
change can be safely adopted. 1t is argued
in behalf of the proposed rule that the
requirement TO bring motorists to full
stop before passing a stopped car puts
a premium upon high speeding in order
to overtake a car before the street corner
Is reached, thus sending the car across
the intersecting street at a dangerous
pace. Thus it is contended that in trying
to avoid one form of accident another is
rendered even more likely. If all motor
lists can be relied upon to observe the rule
of slow speed the change is acceptable
from the point of view of the safe
ty of street car passengers. In
a system of traffic regulations every
thing depends upon the respect which
street users have for the rules, and it is
desirable to make them reasonable rs
possible in their effect upon all classes.
While it is needful to keep the rules as
nearly as possible unchanged. 50 as to
effect the education of the public, still
such changes as experience suggests are
always entitled to consideration.

Telephone Determinations.

An interesting discovery is made in
connection with the local telephone In
quiry which the public utilities commits
sion is to conduct in response to Senate
resolution adopted the other day. Per
haps 1t was not known that under this
law it is unlawful TOR any person 10
solicit, accept or receive any rebate, con
cession or discrimination in respect to
any service furnished by a corporation
selling heat. light, water or power or
Telegram hic or telephone communication
in this District. That is entirely
proper provision. but it's existence in the
law was doubtless unsuspected by most
people until it was pointed out in The
Star yesterday. If the public utilities com
mission should find upon inquiry that any
person. congressman or citizen, has re
ceived anything in the way of rebate or
privilege. discrimination or favor from the
telephone company a fine of not less than
saoO may be inflicted by the court in case
of prosecution and proof. This puts
every telephone user upon notice to ex-
anime his contract and to ascertain
whether it conforms to the usual scale.
But how is the telephone user to know
the usual scale? How is he to know what
his neighbor pays or the terms upon
which his neghbor receives service?
There is no widely published scale of
rates no legally established plan of serv-
ice or installation charges. The tele-
phone company makes its own rates. 1T
has under the new law filed its rates with
the public utilities commission, which
has CaIied for clearer statement of the
scale for public reference. This filing
serves the purpose of the law with re-
spect to discrimination as affects the tele-
phone user in his relation TO the cor
poration. 1t does not, however. consti-
tute revision of rates, such as the com
mission may later propose upon a de-
tai.ed inquiry, on the basis of a physical
valuation of the company's equipment.
