mendation, hence the regulation Of
rates by private arrangement, /. ~,
Those who can best tell the story
Of the iniquity of tho old rate fight
are the Washington business men
who fostered the local insurance
concerns that were driven to the wall
by outside companies entering Wash
ington and cutting the rates. These
companies sold insurance here at q
loss long enough to drive home COM
panies out Of business. Then they
played the game Of trying to drive
each other out, ami during that
period property owners got insur-
ance at ridiculous rates.
For that era they are now paying
the piper. II may be that some Of
the rates in effect here now are not
too high. Pit only a study Of the
fire risk inc District on various
classes Of property, and an adjust
ment Of the rates to the facts, will
bring about an equitable scale Of
rates. This should be done by an
official board. Perhaps that is Ben
Johnson's idea Of q trust. We don't
know.

CONVENTION DRADL0CKs

There has not been what is called
q "deadlocked" national convention
ON the Democratic side since 1895,
when It took five ballots to nominate
the peerless Bryan for President in
Chicago. He had 1877 votes on the
first ballot and $50 on the fifth
more than the required two-thirds.
II is safe to predict that there will
be no deadlock in the Democratic
national convention AZ st. Louis.
The last Republican national con-
vention in which there was a dead
lock was that Of 1889 when Benja-
min Harrison was nominated ON the
eighth ballot. He had 80 votes on
the first and 544 on the eighth ballot.
BY one class Of enterprising per-
sons convention deadlocks are held
in very high esteem-the hotel
keepers Of the convention city. The
longer the delegates deliberate, the
more copious the flow Of oratory, the
more numerous the parliamentary
contentious and disputes, the better
it is for them.
The Chicago hotelkeepers are
looking forward with prosperity con-
fidence to protracted convention,
while those of st. Louis are expect
ing, with adversely misgiving, q
short one.

LOCAL INSURANCE RATES

Few persons will be inclined to
swallow whole the fulminations of
Congressman Ben Johnson about the
supposed promotion of an Insurance
trust" in the District through the ac-
tivities of c. S. Nesbit, Superintend-
ent of Insurance: Yet a good many
folk, finding their fire insurance
rates advanced within the last year
or two, have a just complaint,
though not against Mr.. Nesbit.
More than a year ago The Times
pointed out the inequality of the
new rates that were being introduced
here through the activities of an I'M
official board of underwriters. Under
the present District laws this board
can operate, and neither Commits
sioners, the Insurance Superintend-
ent, nor any other officials have au-
thority to check them. Evidence
charging the board with existing in
violation of the Clayton antitrust
act was presented to the Office of the
United States Attorney for the Dis
trict. but this allegation was not
sustained.
Mr.. Nesbit believes in the regu-
lation of fire insurance rates, nor has
he ever made any bones of it. In
his annual reports for several years
back he has urged that power be
given the District to regulate rates
Congress has ignored this recon-

AN HONEST CONVENTION

With most of the delegates to the
Republican national convention now
chosen, it is announced. that only
fifty-four seats are contested. Under
the new rules, whi6t were adopted
by the national committee in order
to prevent another scandal such as
that Of 1912, the delegates who are
accredited by the regular organiza-
tons will be placed on the temper
airy roll, and the convention, not the
national committee, will make the
real decision in the contests.
One chief reason why there is,
within a very short time before the
convention is to begin its work, much
less concern about political doings in
the convention city is that the ma
tional committee has little business
on its hands. The personnel and the
complexion Of the convention will
not this year be determined by the
convention on set Of trumped-up
contests. The convention will be
pretty thoroughly representative, or
at least will have a chance to try to
be representative. 1t will not be
hand-picked by a machine, commit
ted in advance to carrying out the
program of an organization.
The South's representation has
been sharply reduced. in accordance
with this same plan of reformation,
and it is announced that Southern
leaders will make a fight to have the
old basis of representation restored.
It is to be hoped most devoutly that
they will not succeed. The party
has suffered from the Southern sit
uation. It cannot afford to go back
to a rule that gave excessive repre-
sentation to section that never pro-
duced any Republican electoral votes,
and that demoralized party business
because it's real and sole interest
was, not in building up the party,
but in keeping control of Federal
patronage in the hands of the ma
chine.
There has never been time when
there was better promise of the NOM
ination being made by the conven-
ton and standing for the deliberate
and sincere Judgment of the dele
gates, than now. There is purpose
to bring all elements together, to
find common ground on which they
can stand. There is realization that
the years campaign is going to be
one in which no other program can
possibly win.

THE INCREASING INCOMES

On the basis of the present law,
the Treasury estimates that the in
come tax will yield during the cur
rent fiscal year $4,000, 900, which
is $25, 100000 more than was esti-
mated for this year. This is a
forceful indication of the prosperity
that the war has brought to the
nation. 1t also suggests the danger
to the national revenues in case of
recession from present business
activity at the end of the war.
That such recession will come is
not doubted by anybody who has
studied the conditions. A peace ru-
NOR appears in the evening papers
today; the price of wheat goes off
at the opening of the market to-
morrow. 1t is the same all along
the line. The present prosperity of
the country is necessarily largely
temporary and adventurous. 1t is
based on immense sales of articles
that war makes necessary, at prices
which war dictates and combatants
must pay. +. -. ~
The greatest service that could be
rendered to the nation right now
would be to insure the gradual read
justment of business to the certainty
that normal conditions must be re-
turned. There is indication that
business is doing its share in that
direction. But business is doing
more than legislation is doing. The
proposal to raise the surfaces and
soak the rich" through the income
tax impost is in line with the present
tendency of legislation to do as lit
tie as possible in behalf of restoring
normal conditions. Some intelligent
recognition Of the tariff needs of the
next few years-a recognition that
would lead to preparedness legisla-
ton, before it is too late-would dc
more to establish confidence than
