Justice White the court meets all charges

and fremen should be substantially
and permanently recognized, Therefore;
we favor an adequate pension and
retirement law for the policemen and
firemen of the District, and it is our
belief that H. r. bill No. $3.50 contains
the best features OF such a law and
meets with the hearty approval OF
this association"
P. T. Moran. president of the Cham
ber of Commerce. made a strong ap-
peal for the police and hremen's pen
sion fund in addressing the meeting
"A sense of Justice will appeal to all
our taxpayers to give these men a
living wage" said Mr.. Moran. we
are appealing for their little children
when we appeal for these men. Ap-
pealing that their little ones will have
clothes as nice as the other children.
And for that reason we should be
! aroused to enthusiasm and fervor to
push this bill for the men who risk
their lives to protect US night and
day"
Mr.. Moran urged the older members of
all the citizens associations. the fathers
of the city. to bring the young men to
the meetings.

Reference to the Interstate Commerce
Commission OF the question as to the
proper amount the government should

for the transportation OF the mails was
proposed by a delegation Of railway pres
dents at hearing yesterday before the

crease IN. pay for the transportation OF
the mails Representative Moon, Of Ten
nessee. chairman Of the committee. and
Representative Finley, a member, both
Democrats. made IL pretty plain in the
course Of the hearing mat In their opin-
ion the government Is now paying too
much for the transportation of the
malls.
It was suggested by Mr. Peters that
as under Federal law the Interstate Com
merce Commission Is empowered to ad-
Just disputes between shippers and rail-
ways in the matter Of rates the same
agency should be employed to determine
whether the government, in the admins
tFation Of the postal service, is dealing
fairly with the common carriers Of the
country.
Through Messrs. Peters and worthing-
ton the railways urged yesterday that
Congress, instead Of laying down regula-
tions that would add to the expense Of
carrying the mails, should increase the
compensation for this service by at least
10 per cent The government Is now pay
ing approximately s5s,O0o.0oo a year IN

the railways said that at present they
sre paid on the basis Of about . cents a

creased to about 30 cents a ton mile.

ON THE FENCEON
SCHOOL QUESTION
Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation Passes Middle-of-
the-Road Motion.
OPPOSED TO REFERENDUM
Fayors Appointment Board of Educa-
ton by Commissioners, Reduction
of Board to Five Members.

Neither entirely favoring nor disap-
proving of the proposed change In the
MANAGEMENT of the schools of the Dis
trict, the Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation passed a motion putting that or
ganization ION the fence" by a close
vote taken at meeting last night In the
Takoma Park Branch Library.
The motion, which was drawn up by q
committee of four-H. C. Gore, chairman;
d. n. Shoemaker, Homer Skeels and
william wight-tavors the protection of
teachers and employees from political
control. 1t sanctions the appointment of
the superintendent of schools by the
Board Of Education, the appointment Of
the Board Of Education by the Commis-
sioners OF the District, and the reduction
of the number Of the board from nine to
only Ave members.
The favoring Of allowing the Commits
sioners to appoint the Board of Educa-
ton. instead Of the judiciary. was one
point in the report at which many of the
citizens rebelled in their discussion pre-
cedinE the question. The adoption OF the
report Of the committee was carried by
a margin OF three votes, and only after
several speeches pro and con had been
delivered BY D. ". Shoemaker, F. B.
and William G. Platt. president of the
association, who presided.
Mr.. Shoemaker said that in ten years
the commission would show an even
greater trend to political sovereignty than
Il does now with two members belonging
to the dominant party. He thought that
there would be less pressure from the
outside where appointments were made
by court of law than under the pro-
posed scheme OF the Commissioners.
F. B. Linton said there was an over
whelming majority against the proposed
plan Of the Commissioners. and said they
showed but little consideration for public
opinion when they pushed the thing so
vigorously against the strong opposition
of nearly every school and civic organi-
zation in the District. He said that II
teachers were subject to the sway of pol
ittcs every four years it would hamper
the efficiency OF the schools.
Robert L. Lerch said there was greater
stability in the Judgment of the supreme
bench than in such an unstaple body as
the commission. which changes every
four years. Two speakers were in favor
of parts of the Commissioners plan
The association went on record to in
struct its delegate to vote against the
referendum on the liquor question. A
motion tavoring prohibition was passed at
a previous meeting several months ago.
