This is The Washington Herald.
view simply from the standpoint oi
1.-THE demands of the District upon the
Commissioners, and the belief that
these demands must in certain matters
be neglected when-,th Commissioners
are sitting as a Utility Commission.
When Mr.. Rudolph was a Commits
sioner he had to do with the interior
workings of the District. Former
Commissioner Johnston had the fire
and police departments under charge
and the duties of the Engineer Com
missioner keep him busy at all times.
This same division of duties is now
followed.
In other States and cities the pub
lie service corporations and public util-
ity commissions and boards are entirely
separate from other officials of corpo-
rate existence. They are business men
who are entirely. familiar with the cor
porate methods and customs, they are
supposed to be high-grade experts, and
certainly the District of Columbia, with
FIVE public utilities in its limits, cover
ing gas, electricity, telephone, and
transportation requires the undivided
time of commission.
The Washington Herald has no fault
to find with the personnel of the pres
ent Utilities Commission, save that the
duties of the heads Of the District de-
mand their entire attention.
1t is but another argument against
the speedway method of enacting leg
islation, to which Congress in late
years has become more or less accus-
toned, and the District in this case will
be the sufferer.
The Commissioners in their dual ca
pacity have started OH an investiga-
tion that will not end until they are
familiar with every detail of the diff
ferent utilities of Washington. Be-
cause of the press of business, some
thing must suffer-Congress has so de-
cided.

Court has been ambitious for a Presi-

Chief Justice by Lincoln in 1854. This
overwhelming passion OF Chase's life was
to be President, and he did not re-
i linquish the hope Of 1t after going on
the bench. He was possibly the most
pronounced Presidential aspirant who
was ever appointed to the court. and his
disappointment has been a lesson to all
others OF the tribunal since.
Many justices have been of Presiden-
tial size, but have welcomed the life
honor in preference to the strain and
possible defeat of a contest Nearly
every justice since the organization OF
the court has had more or less to do
with politics. With Chase the most
prominent Presidential aspirant, Justice

Canaries as Life Savers.

Canaries. the pretty little yellow sing
ers, SO long an adjunct of home life
loved and admired by the children
and even by the adults, have won rec.
ogriition among the useful things of the
world.
Helpless as they, are, one would moi
think that their usefulness is to be
exercised in life saving, in preventing
disasters like those that have SO long
Mortified the world and caused so much
human suffering.
And yet the little birds, through the
sacrifice of their lives, are being used
TO prevent mine horrors.
Just who discovered that the pets
would succumb to the fumes of coal
gas and damp much sooner than hu-
man beings is not known, but the fact
remains that it is known to the gov
ernment mine rescuers and that a party
OF twenty-five experts are now camp
ing in the mines of the Pittsburgh
Coal Company with FIVE canaries, where
they are conducting a series of expert
ments that will be of immense value
80 mankind and to coal miners espe-
ciaIIy.
They will solve problems having ref
erence to disused and abandoned coal
mines with a view of bringing them
into use again, where fire damp and gas
have put them out of paying existence.
Representatives of coal corporations
are watching results with acute in
terest, keeping in close touch with the
rescuers and the five yellow birds in
the dark caverns of the diSused mine.
Not only will the canaries be a per-
manent adjunct OF mine operations
after these tests, if successful, but they
will be part OF the equipment of every
rescue party.
Sympathy will go out to the en-
dangered singers, but the exchange of
human life will be welcomed as a long
step in advance by life savers.

Hasty Legislation.

e. Still another evidence of the futility
of rushing bills through Congress with
out sufficient consideration of the va
/, rious points al issue is shown in the
La Toilette amendment to the general
deficiency bill in 1912.
1t created the Utility Commission OF
the District, empowered to regulate
public utilities and was especially de-
signed at the time to prevent any
merger of Washington utilities-to
checkmate the aims and intentions of
a corporation then organized with
enormous capital known as the Wash
ington Utilities Company.
Public utility commissions and pub
lie service bodies are a necessity in
p every State, and have their aim and
object in standing between the rights
of the corporations and the rights of
the people, defining both for the good
of all concerned in the cause of equity
and service TO all alike Therefore, no
fault is found with the law.
But when the dual duties were placed
on the shoulders of the District Com
missioners of doing the work of Utility
Commissioners as well. Congress evil

Involved and Ambiguous. I"

A committee of the District Bankers
Association has been studying the in.
come tax law for over month, and
last night presented its report to the
association, hesitatingly, and admitting
that it might be months or years be-
fore the way is sufficiently illuminated
by official regulations and judicial de-
cisions to enable one to discern clearly
and without effort the course to be
followed"
The REPORT further characterizes the
language as involved and ambiguous.
On this committee were NJ. d. Ros-
enberg, George E. Fleming, and H. H.
Mckee, and it had the advantage of
having in its conferences Charles ].
Bell, president of the American Secur-
ity and Trust Company; William D.
Hoover, president of the National Saw
ings and Trust Company; B. F. Saul,
president of the Home Savings Bank !;
w. j.. Flather, vice president of the
Riggs National, as we'll as Corcoran
Thorn, the trust officer of the American
Security and Trust Company.
That these gentlemen. able and quail
Itled experts, should find the language
of the law involved and ambiguous
and inexplicable in many of its fea-
lures, is one Of the very strongest ar
guments against hasty legislation.
The income tax amendment was
tackled on to the Underwood tariff bill
and was not extensively debated in the
house, although its sponsor did defend
1t in well-prepared speech.
