LLoYD.GEoRGE IS INDICATED.

American admirers of David uoyd-George will
be gratied to know that the parliamentary inquiry
into some charges affecting members of the British
government has ended in a vindication of the
chancellor as we'll as of others whose names were
drawn in.
At this distance and with the rather meager de-
tails that the cables have carried, il has been diff
cult to Judge the full merits of the incident. Few
people on this side of the water were prepared to
believe that Mr. Lloyd-George, at least, had been
engaged in an improper speculation in securities of
company to which contracts with the government
were of vital importance. That was the substance
of the charge.
The chancellor has represented, in the American
mind and imagination, about the highest ideals of
British progressive craftsmanship, and if the inquiry
which he and his accused associates demanded has
resulted in the sweeping vindcaton that is now sug-
gested, it will be new proof that the methods of
British politics are no whit superior those of the
American game. 1t is grave thing to drag forth
such accusations against a man who has so long
stood before the whole world as of the most
distinguished figures of British public life. Politics
which goes to such extremes to partisan ends
commonly is rebuked in due time, as doubtless it
will be in this incident. The bitterness of the Con-
sevative elements in Britain against the Asquith
government would appear to have overreached itself.
The reaction ought to bolster up the liberal cause,
latterly seemingly somewhat on the wane.

SKY CLEARING IN THE EAST.

Russia, speaking first for herself and secondarily
for the powers, appears to have brought Bulgaria
and Servia to realize that between them over the
spoils of the Turk is not to be permitted There is
every reason now to believe that all the difficult
problems of territorial rearrangement will be settled
without recourse to arms. The allies won so much
more than they had even hoped to win that their
statesmen confronted an embarrassment of riches,
1t was a difficult and most dangerous situation
Greece, Bulgaria and Servia all see with magma
tions eye the time ahead when there will be some
thing in Bahama like the United Italy which is
a real power simply because it is united; and each
of the three little countries would like to be leader
of the new regime. That however, must be worked
out by the processes of time and evolution. Another
war now certain to bankrupt all contenders and to
be followed by intense suffering would be the
surest way to stave off realization of the allies
ambitions.

THE TAXICAB RATE INQUIRY.

Since The Times first raised the question of taxi
cab rates in this town. with special reference to the
fact that hotels, apartment houses cafes, etc. exac,
a big percentage of the cab rate for using their
Stands" nobody has provided answer to our ques
ton. The Times wanted to know by what right the
owner or lessee of business property assumed that
the adjoining streets belonged to him, and could be
subjected to payment of tolls for their use.
The public was astounded at the revelations OF
the extent of this exaction which is imposed upon
the taxicab concerns, and through them Of course,
upon the public that rides It's always the public that
pays the freight, and the ideal rate-from every
bodys viewpoint except the public's-appears to be
all the traffic will bear" 1t is suspected that in the
present instance the rate has been placed decidedly
higher than the traffic will bear, and that people don't
ride nearly so much in these vehicles as they would
if rates were within reason At any rate, there is
certainly universal wonderment at the presumption
that the chief bene6ciaries of the service should i'm
pose the heaviest tax on it.
In Chicago, for the privilege of using the streets,
the city railway company gives the city IS per cent
of its net earnings. That quite within reason.
Now suppose the company would induce the city to
reverse this arrangement and get Chicago to pay 20
per cent bonus to the company as an inducement to
the corporation to get it to accommodate the public
with car service.
That would pretty closely parallel the thing that
is being done in this town.

COST OF GOOD ROADS.

In the wave of road building that has flooded this
country State and county good-roads bonds have al.
ready reached the enormous total of $3.50 900 900
1t is fairly obvious that operations cannot long
tinue at such rate this and still clearer that un-
less the roads be built for the future and then
scientousy maintained the net result will be the
wastage of vast amount of capital.
New York has had tens of millions wasted or
grated and the taxpayers want something better to
show for their money
The dissatisfaction felt in quarters OF Maryland
its road-makng enterprises is neither nor
less than is found in other States But mere consd-
Grafton of the already spent spending shows
how necessary is careful selection of the roads to
be improved with reference to the greatest good 10
the greatest number.
In Illinois the engineers who have in nand the
plans for State road system estimate that out of
total of $4,000 miles of highways 90 per cent of all
the traffic is carried on less than $4,000 miles, and
going step further, these $4,000 miles have been
subdivided into four classes, each to be paved
cording 20 the demands upon it. To improve all the
roads of the State without discrimination would cost
more than billion dollars. To improve 80 per cent
of tie trafcbearing roads will cost not much more
.an tenth of the sum; and this the State proposes
to spend.
Few States can afford wholesale improvement,
even when it is honestly and efficiently done; and,
therefore, those who live on the less important roads
are bound to see discrimination and waste in the
plans and work.

THE NEW INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.

President Wilson is expected very soon to name
the members of the industrial commission, auth Dr.
lied by Congress, to make general inquiry into con-
ditions in the realm of industry especially as affect
ing the relations of capital and labor. 1t is stated
that Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, of New York. will be
a member, which amounts to a most proper recog-
milton of the concern of in the inquiry. In
deed, to name two women among the nine members
would be quite within fairness.
This new industrial commission might we'll in
clude some of tine men who composed the last body
which operated under that same name. 1t gathered

~ versy: "Shan the mother teach

say, the argument is raised BECAUSE

The fact that this IS bone Of con-
