posed law is that it contemplates
Jail sentences and makes guilt per-
sonal. That is something our nation
al regulative code has long needed.
Perhaps when effective criminal fea-
lures are written into the law it
will be found, as too often in the
past, that judges and juries are un-
willing to lock men up for COM
mercial practices the essential i'm
morality of which is hard to define,
But it will not require the locking
up of many offenders against such
law, to make offending very un-
popular. The richer and more prom
iDent a man, the easier it is for him
to pay a fine and laugh at it, by
just so much more will he be indis-
posed to take chances of going to

|ELECTRIFYING THE RAIL.
ROADS IN CHICAGO.

Chicago is st-uSKling with the
question Of the electriication of the
railways entering that city, and the
railway terminal committee has be-
fore it plan to require the roads
to abandon within seven years the
use Of steam as a motive power
inside the city limits.
This plan has received the approx
al of q subcommittee and is now
before the full committee for final
determination. The Chicago news
Papers appear to expect that the
committee will give its Endorsement
and that the city council will enact
the proposed ordinance into law.
If electrification of railway termi-
nails is practicable in Chicago, il
should be so here as well; there
seems no controlling reason why
Washington should endure the smoke
noise, and dirt nuisance which steam
locomotive produce if other cities
can Danish it.

NEWEST FASHION SHOCK

For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain the heather Chinee
has nothing on fashion designers
by way of being peculiar.
Presumably, France is responsible
for the riotous effects that stampede
Us each season. At any rate, the
mannequins at the Auteil races pro-
claim to a waiting world the final
stitch in the style edicts.
And now Dame Fashion DEGREES
that the skirt with the short wheel
base must go!
This seasons mannaquins actually
appeared in gowns that accord per-
fectly with low heels and high prin-
ciples. There were no impression
istic blouses, no sleeves on the half
shell, no hats that look as if they
were in the high seas OF hangover,
no waistlines with an exaggerated
ego.
Result: A decent gown created
the biggest sensation of the day,
solely because of its novelty!
1t would not be surprising to see
the style pendulum swing from the
present custom of wearing only the
scenario of a dress back to the kind
mother used to make.

THE AMENDED GEORGE
BILL

The George bill, which Mr.. George
now finds himself opposing, because
the worst possible principles of tax
alton have been written into it, is
curiously reactionary measure.
That it should have come with a
majority report from the House
Committee on District of Columbia
shows how little of real expertness
in municipal affairs is required to
make up such a committee.
In both houses of Congress the
Judiciary Committees are made up
of lawyers. That is one tribute paid
to personal qualification for a special
sort of service. But in making up
almost any other committee, in
either body, the question of special
lied, personal equipment for the par
ticular work in hand is forgotten.
Political pull and seniority determine
assignments.
Thus it comes about that Com
mittee on District of Columbia, which
ought to he composed of men best
equipped to take a modern and un-
derstanding view of city government
problems, brings out a taxation bill
which absolutely back-tracks over
the route that taxation progress has
made in the last generation. At a

THE PRIZE BUGABOO.

A spy in General" Keley's new
army of unemployed has disclosed a
horrible plot against the Govern
ment of the United States. 1t
makes a Washingtonian shiver and
wish to get out throwing up breast
works Immediately.
All the way from Sacramento,
where the army is resting on the
way to Washington, comes this NOV
ing tale. 1t seems there is a nation
wide plot to get together a vast
force of unemployed, agitators, an
archists, and other presumably
wicked folks, and make a demonstra-
ton against the Government itself.
! This army is to be rolled up into a
huge mass, exactly like a SNOWFALL; {;
as it rolls across the continent it is
10 gather to itself the increment of
greater and constantly greater num-
bers, until it will roll down to the
Mississippi, an overwhelming force.
Then when it gets to Rock Island,
H., it is to seize the great Govern
ment arsenal and repository of arms
and munitions. With these in its
possession, it will be prepared to
assume the real aggressive, to un-
mask, to avow the real sinister char
acter of the movement, and to march
unresisted to Washington. Here it
is to overawe everything, brush
aside any show Of force that may
lie presented to oppose it, and take
possession of the Government!
Surely there is 4 project calcu-
lated to make the reader wonder
and admire the imagination of the
correspondent who conceived it.
Major Sylvester should lose no time
putting up a new crop of keep Off
the Grass" signs. The revolution
may walk on the lawns and require
to be arrested.

LITTLE CAUSES OF BIG WARS

had quarreled with his father and had
fled to Geneva. This had started a feud
between the Swiss city and the mighty
Duchy OF Savoy, a feud that had more
than once AIMED into open warfare.
More than mere conquest hung on the
result of the conflict. 1t was the world
old clash between progress and tyranny.
During a long lull in hostilities Charles
Emanuel, Duke Of Savoy, hit on a plan
to crush Geneva forever. He secretly
marched by stealth toward the Swiss
city. So carefully were his arrange
ments made that the Genevans had no
know edge Of the impending danger.
At midnight in December. 1902. the
duke brought his army to the very
gates OF Geneva His plan was to send
a detachment Of troops into the sleeping
city by means of scaling ladders, there
to throw wide the gates and admit the
rest of the army. The 5000 Cavopards
They could easily slaughter the unpre-
pared garrison and destroy the entire
city.
The setting of the first scaling ladder
against the wall was the sound the late
working housewife heard that night.
Peering down from the darkensd kitch-
en- window, she saw the top Of 4 ladder.
4 helmeted head was Just rising into
sight.
Silently the woman ran back to the
fireplace. snatched up the huge Kettle
Of potatoes. lugged II to the window
and turned the kettle upside down. An
avalanche of boiling water and hot po-
tatocS dashed down upon the heads OF
the men who were Climbing the ladder.
Blinded, sca'ded. scared. they fell howl
ing to the ground below.
The shrieks of the woman combined
with these howis to awaken all Geneva
Men spranG to arms. The walls were
soon br'stling with defenders. After a
fierce fight the Savoyards were beaten
off. The city was saved. Nor. in the
war that followed. were the Genevans
ever again caught mapping.
The Duke of Savoy had lost his ono
great chance. All because Of kettle
of hot potatoes.

that can possibly be found and sub
jcct it to heavy taxation.
That kind of a measure, in any
community accustomed to peing gov
erned according to modern and scien-
tific ideas, would cause huge pro-
test instantly. Not SO much be-
cause the measure would greatly
increase the total tax burden, but
because it adopts an archaic, worm
out, rejected theory of taxation. Mr..
George, who is an expert in modern
taxation methods, who knows whith-
er the world is moving as to meth
DDS of imposing the burdens of pub
lie service, finds himself compelled
to oppose the bill that carries his
name. because it does not represent
his ideas. Rather, it represents a
reaction toward everything that stu
dents of taxation know is bad in
taxation procedure.
1t is too bad that the time which
might So profitably be used in do
ing much-needed legislative work for
the District must be devoted to the
esploitation-and, ultimately, the ex-
plosion-of such outworn ideas about
raising the public revenue. There
is enough of intelligent understand
ing and scientific knowledge of mod
ern taxation systems in Congress to
make reasonably certain that such
legislation will not be allowed to
pass. 1t is strongly suspected that
if it should pass the President would
veto it. But all that does not make
up for the fact that misguided zeal
is wasting good time which repre-
sents opportunity to do useful work.

INTERLOCKING CORPOR.
ATIONS.

The Administration bill, now in
troduced in the House and formally
put forth as the official measure for
suppression of restraints of trade
through intercorporate stockholding,
is certain to be the center of a
stormy discussion before it becomes
law. The measure prohibits one cor
poration acquiring stock in another
where such acquisition would re-
duce existing competition; but it
does not prohibit such acquisitions
when the ACQUIRED stock is not to
he voted, or otherwise used, to lessen
competition. Of course, the mana
gers of interlocking systems of cor
porations have never admitted that
their purpose in interlocking them
was to suppress competition. 1t
would be necessary In every partic-
ular case where one corporation
bought stock in another to deter
mine whether there was any purpose
Of affecting competitive conditions.
Corporations are to be permitted
TO organize and control subsidiaries
for the purpose of carrying on par
ticular departments of their busi-
ness; but these must not effect any
injury to competitive conditions.
This looks quite as much like a legal
ization as it does like a prohibition
of the interloching condition. More
over, it is specified that no rights
that have heretofore accrued are to
be interfered with by the new meas
ure.
1t is apparent that such law
would depend entirely on the man.
Ser of its administration, and o.
thc attitude of the courts toward
Every case, apparently, would hav,
to stand on its own bottom because
there could hardly be two cases in
which the facts would be precisely
identical.

THE PLAZA AWARDS.

When the Government deter
mined to appraise, condemn, and
take over the property of the plaza,
between the Union Station and the
Capitol Grounds, it in effect ended
the producing power of that prop
erty. Everybody knew that, how
ever long the business of apprais-
ing and awarding and paying might
take, there was no possibility of
making any permanent arrange
r1ents for securing permanent in
come from the property.
A condemnation commission was
named, and it found the property
worth rather more than three mil
lions of dollars. That property has
now for a long time been Withdrawn
from the possibility of production.
The money which it represents has
not been paid. The community is
sufferer to the extent of having this
great block of productive realty
withdrawn from usefulness.
Now, after long delay about ap-
proving the awards, the President,
it is announced, has rejected them.
He finds that in some cases they
were excessive. With that finding
there will be no general quarrel. 1t
is understood that interests affiliated
with the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road are considered especially to
have secured excessive awards.
Their interests represent rather
more than one-third of the entire
property. Naturally, the President,
and back of him the Attorney Gen.
eral, has little disposition to over
pay anybody in such a transaction.
On the other hand, there are near
two hundred individual property
owners who are left in distressing
situations. Many have trusts on
their property. The property has
ceased to be income producing. I'm
provements have been razed. There
is every reason for insisting on the
earliest possible settlement of these
claims.
To separate the claims into classes
and provide for immediate payment
of any class was found to be legally
impossible. Therefore all the claims
have been disapproved.
1t is of the greatest Importance
not only to the owners of this prop
erty but to the business interests of
the city in general that the most i'm
mediate disposal shall be made OF
this case consistent with safeguard
ing the Governments interests.
There should be no delay about pro-
ceeding with the formalities neces-
sary to get the awards placed on a
basis that will command confidence
