THIS LOOKS BETTER!

The Senate wrote into the District
appropriation bill a provision under
which the price to be paid for gas
for public uses is to be 70 cents per
thousand.
At present the current net price is
IS cents, which everybody-and po-
body better than the people who are
familiar with the business-knows is
altogether too high.
This 70-cent provision was accept
ed by the conferees, and therefore,
if the bill finally passes at all, is
likely to be in at the finish.
Its effect, directly, will be unim-
portant. Not much gas is consumed
for the purposes affected.
But none the less it is very i'm
portant as establishing a precedent.
If the gas companies accept the TO
cent rate they will tacitly admit that
they can afford to sell gas at that
figure.
If they do that, they will justify
the assumption that other custom
ers are just as well entitled to that
same 70-cent rate.
If they don't accept this rate, the
burden of proof will be on them to
go into court and prove that it is
inadequate. That is just what they
don't want to do.
A public utility concern never
wants to assume the burden of proof.
Its game is to sit back, suppress
every bit of information that is not
wrenched and screwed out of it by
hook and crook, and compel the un-
informed public to prove the thing
that cannot possibly be proved with
out the information that the public
cannot get!
1t would occur to a person viewing
the scenery from the vantage of a
perch in tall tree, that the 7O-cent
amendment puts the Gas Monopoly
in a considerable hole.

SOME VIEWS OF PUBLIC
lTY.

Home Secretary McKenna's latest
plan for the suppression cf militant
outrages, which is that the newspa-
pers decline to give further publicity
t. these harridans' defiance of law
and destruction of property, is char
acteristic of certain variety Of Of
fetal intelligence, put under pres
sure. Such officials go on the theory
that what you don't know won't
hurt you" and that the best way for
the world to cure its ills is to shut
its eyes. However, the official mind
has its imitators.
The policeman is convinced, or
says he is, that the publication of
news about crimes. especially when
there has been a series of like Of
fenses, will prevent the apprehen-
sicn of the criminals.
Politicians are disturbed lest the
announcement that they are grafters
will stay the realization of their am
bitions to advance the public veal.
Physicians feel assured that the
connection in the lay press of the
name of member of the profession
with some reritorious public service
will deal medical ethics an under
handed blow.
There is a great body of highly
respectable opinion, or at any rate of
opinion held by highly respectable
persons, TO The effect that such prob
lens as vice, the more hideous as
poets of poverty, divorce, prison re-
form, and some communicable dis
eases may best be solved by keeping
them out of the newspapers.
1t is quite true that no one person

VACATIONS.

Is your vacation to be medical
treatment or just fun? Better settle
that before you go into details as to
|where you will spend it.
To some persons vacation means a
brief respite from grinding toll.
Ihey look forward to it for rest and
refreshment- They expect it to
b arten them for their further jour
ny, and do not see how they could
6 on if the thought of it were
r there to buoy them up.
Then there are others that 20
s0out their work with no sense of
Z q 'lgue, yet look eagerly forward to
tlc nearing two weeks, or one, or
T. ee, or whatever it may be. 1t is
. be playtime to them. and they
want to extract the last drop of en-
J yment from it.
The first sort would be foolish to
{ anything wearying, the last sort
T. do anything monotonous. The one
reeds rest. the other diversion.
Really there is no reason why any
{ e that is physically at par should
} FED a vacation. There is nothing
soout any ordinary job that should

u7der the second heading. Vacation
should mean a thrilling draught of
I ectar distilled from the ordinary

For those in this delectable state
.e vacation problem is simple-of

SNUBBING THE DISTRICT

II the District of Columbia were a
butter-in at Capitol Hill; if it were
everlastingly badgering Congress to
dc favors for it; if there were any
other possible way for the District
to do anything for itself save
through the kind consent of Con-
eress, there would De no especial
reason to find fault with the casual
attention that the District appropri-
alton bill got on Saturday.
But the District is completely at
the mercy of Congress. 1t can do
nothing whatever on its own account.
Congress holds a tight rein on every
iota of authority-,and then refuses
to take seriously the exercise of that
authority.
If Congress is tired and bored ard
disgusted with the business of run
ming this town, let it make an ar
rangement by which the town can
run itself. The town feels pretty
confident that it could do the job
quite as well as it is now being done.
But if Congress is determined to
continue the sole and entire reposi-
tory of power within this jurisdiction,
SO that no street may be paved, no
school can be built or extended, no
dollar can be spent on any public
work without an act of Congress-
then let Congress take this obliga-
ton seriously and attend to the
business of the District.
On Saturday the big and import
ant controversy between Senate and
House was tossed into the House, on
a report from the conferees on the
District appropriation measure.
There were less than ninety MEM
bers answering to roll calls on close
questions. About one in every four
members of the House were in their
places.
Yet nobody on either side took the
business seriously enough even to
force the attendance of a quorum.
That is the evidence of real interest,
or lack of interest, about District af-
fairs.
Take the little item of the Seventh
street paving. The Senate had in
serted an item of $4,000 to place a
new surface on this highly import
ant business thoroughfare from New
York avenue TO @ street. There was
no serious difference Of opinion as to
the need or the demand that the
work be done. The old pavement. of
stone blocks, is archaic, noisy and
insanitary. There are hundreds of
miles of modern pavement in the
city, on streets that have no possible
claim to be regarded as needing it so
much as does this section of Seventh
street.
Yet the Senate conferees quickly
receded on this item, and allowed it
to go out of the bill.
If Washington were governed like
other cities, there would be indigna-
ton meetings and near-riots over
such a performance of the town
council as this of Congress: deter
mining the fate Of the whole munich
pal budget on the basis of a petty
quarrel over an insignificant claim
TEN; giving no serious attention at |
Ill to matters of the highest import
lnce 70 the whole city.
1t is perhaps bootless to call at
,ention to these anomalies in the
ocal scheme of legislation ard ad-
ninistration; but in the face of all |
.iscouragements, the effort will be
continued, in the hope that some
lay serious consideration may yet be
TO the big and serious
ask of governing the Capital City.
