in capitalization as the price of getting universal
transfers through consolidation
The "coniscation" boot in that event, of course
win be the other Leg the public will be its vic.
tim, for il will have to put up the money that will
enable the consolidated concern to earn returns on
its added millions of capital
What patient ass is the public, to be sure!
Some day there will be sweeping revision of
the adjudications that have permitted constructive
"conhscation" to be made ground for defeating the
public rights without any proof of actual con6scaon
If does not come through the broadened vision Of
the courts then it will come through amendment of
the Constitution or through public ownership of all
such facilities
The illustration that has been used here is drawn
from common experience with the financing OF public
utility concerns. Moreover it is precisely what the
Washington Utilities Company proposes. That COM
pany intends to bring all the public utility concerns
of the town together-if its plans don't 90 wrong
and to issue vastly increased capitalization against
them The public is asked to consent to this in con-
sideration of the possibility that it will get universal
transfers!
The herdic transfer affair is merely an incident
There is no. good reason why the public authorities
should hesitate to try that clear down to final
decision of the transfer question What is to be lost
by it? We haven't universal transfers now. To lose
them by court decision would only be to lose some-
thing we don't enjoy and never did. Why not find
out where the community stands?

DENIES SHORTAGE
Of MEN IN FLEET
Rear Admiral Cone Says No
Occasion Exists for Alarm
About Unprepardeness.

There is no great shortage OF men
OF OF supplies on the North Atlantic
fleet. or any OF the other fleets, so far
as I know" said Rear Admiral Hutch
I. Cone. chief Of the Bureau OF Steam
Engineering OF the Navy Department,
today.
There is no occasion for any alarm
regarding the unpreparedness Of the
battlcships Of the American navy for
war" he continued. While I am not
directly in touch with questions Of per-
sonnel or the feer. / know naval Off
GERS at the present time are NOT un-
duly concerned over the conditions OF
our ships"
. This statement was called forth by
statements appearing today, signed by
John Temple Graves, that the navy is
in such poor condition regarding
personnel and equipment that 1t would
be almost helpless before a sudden at
tack from the japanese navy
Naval critics say the only possible
basis for the criticism is the fact that
there is tendency on the part of the
Navy Department TO place more and
more vessels on the reserve list. This
is done for ecenomy's sake. and in the
belief of many naval officers, is being
carried too far.
That there is a more or less perma-
nent shortage OF men aboard the battle
ships of the North Atlantic fleet Is not
denied. There has been great difficulty
experienced in obtaining enlistments in
the past few years, and Congress has
been none too liberal in providing for
increases in personnel commensurate
with the development OF battleship
strength.
It's merely question of arithmetic"
said Coma ndmer Reginald r. Belknap
assistant chief of the Bureau OF Nayi-
CATION, today.
We have repeatedly told Congress
that We need 5000 men and more to
man our ships. Vhe nwe don't get
these men we have TO do the best We
can"

GOVERNOR SUFFERS STAND.

There could hardly be better proof that the popular
primary is ruin to the political boss than is found in
the long fight of the New York machines to prevent
its adoption. In this struggle they have known no
politics. Barnes and Murphy, the Republican Old
Guard and Tammany, the Black Horse Cavalry and
the upstate allies of the Wgwam, have stood to-
gether in fraternity of frenzed opposition. They
have been horred at the very thought of the people
naming their own candidates.
Hughes brought the issue squarely before the
State fought on it, and lost. He lost but he made
the issue big that it has commanded attention ever
since. Dix of course, putty in the hands of the
politicians. There never was chance for accom-
plishment under him.
Sulzer, addressing gathering of the Democratic
county chairmen, told them flaty that whoever was
not with him was against MIN. He makes this issue
test of Democracy He appeals to Republicans, Pro-
gressves, Democrats and Independents to stand with
him for the bill he has indorsed. He declares that
he knows the game and how to play it as we'll as
anybody ese and serves notice that there will be no
hesitation about using every means necessary to get
effective primary legislation.
There is inspiration in the tone and manner
of the governor. The State is with him, and in the
end he is going to win. The time is come when the
people recognize, as they did not in earlier stages
of this fight tnat the fight for popular government
has its crux in this question Of control of the nomna-
tions. So long as the bipartisan machine, the in
visible government can dictate nominations on both
sides, and long there is nothing for the voter
to do but take his choice between two machine-made
tickets popular government is farce and fraud.

A TEST FOR CALIFORNIA.

California has one of the most sweeping codes
for the employment of the initiative, referendum and
recall.
Nobody in this part of the world seriously believes
that the real people of California sympathze with the
ngo antics that the legislature of that State cuts up
from time TO time over the Chinese and japanese
issue.
Why not let the legislature pass the aien-owner-
ship law and then submit it to vote under the ref
erendum, and find out whether the people of Cali
fornia want to make themselves and their State a
nuisance and menace to the Union?
If it should turn out that they do-which is quite
believable the National Government would
have useful data upon which to base procedure to
curb their troublesomeness.

WILSON TO NEW JERSEY.

There isn't much chance nowadays for people whC
worry about precedents and traditions These are
viewing with alarm the invasion of New Jersey this
week by Woodrow Wilson, in an effort to arouse pub
lie sentiment to the point where it can force the
legislature to pass the jury reform legislation
But the public is more interested in the measure
than in the manner. That bill ought to pass Its de-
feat is nexcusable the old Jersey method of jury
drawing makes the jury system mockery and fake
If President Wilson can force passage of such
measure by intrudng his national prestige into
New Jersey, power to his elbow. May he do lot of
elbowing in behalf of good causes

BOY BOOSTERS0 OF
WEST IN CAPITAL
Cailfornians Are on Tour Of
World as an Educational
Experience.

Fifty boys, all Of whom are athletes
most Of whom are musicians. and all
more or less models of behavior. a,
least while on this trip, arrived in
Washington yesterday under the
charge Of Major Sidney s. Piexotto. OF
the California National Guard. The
boys are on their way around the
world as a portion of their educa tien
and training. Those who hail from
San Francisco are doing all they can
do to boost the Panama Pacific Ex-
position.
Contrary to popular impression. the
boys are not members of the Eoy Scout
organization Of America Some scouts
may be in the party. but the party itself
Is portion Of no organization. They
are making the trip as an educational
experience. A norton of the bows will
live in the international boys city
which will be feature of the Panama
Pacific exposition.
Give Concert to Ellipse.
Yesterday afternoon shortly after
they arrived the bows gave a concert
on the ellipse back of the White House.
The president was not there to erjoy
the serenade. but hundreds os WASH
ingtonians stopped to head the concert.
The hand is really a feature.
Tomorrow afternoon the whole party
will be received at the White House.
where they will be presented with a
United States flag by President Wilson.
Today they are seeing the sights Of the
city, although the rain of the early
portion Of the day kept them in their
rooms in the Metropolitan Hotel
Thirty-five of the boys. who form the
nucleus Of the party. are from San
Francisco, and tney form the boosters
club fer the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
In every city they stop this boosters
club invites boys to come to the expo
sition and live in the model boys .ity
which will be provided for them. 1t 10
expected that several hundred boys, not
only from the United States but also
from abroad will be persuaded to come.
On Trip Around World.
The boys are making their way leis-
urely around the world and will stop
at all the principal cities along their
route to study them. The trip is made
under the auspices of the national
youth achievment committee which
plans the stops and provides the guides
and heads of the party. The boys pay
their own expenses
The Boys City at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition will be furnished entirely
by the exposition authorities and will
be run by the boys just as il it were
a permanent municipality. The model
school along achievement lines will be
a feature of the city.
The party will leave Washington to-
morrow night for. Philadelphia and will
work their way UP through the Eastern
cities until New York IL reached the
first week in May. The party will sail
for England May Z.

Senators Divided on
Bryan's Trip to West

Wide difference Of opinion prevails
among Senators as to the wisdom of
the Bryan trip TO California
Senator OGorman and Senator Var
daman take the view the Federal Gov
ernment has not the right to make
treaties in violation of the rights re-
served to the States.
Senator Vardaman is especially en-
phatic. and says California owes it as
duty to protect its own people.
Senator Bacon thinks the people of
California should make their land law
general, and not word II so as to apply
especially to Japan or China. He thinks
Mr.. Bryan has the right view
Vice President Marshall says Cali
fornia has no right to pass any legis-
lation in violation of a treaty.
