mand is always followed by an increase
in the price. If new sources Of gaso-
line supply had been developed to keep
pace with the great increase in motor
car manufacture-and motor boat use in
summer-there would have been not
even the semblance of justification for
the advance in price. But at present
there are no new oil wells in sight. The
war has closed access to some foreign
sources of supply, and has, moreover,
created an unusual demand for this
product in America. The development
of possible new supplies is retarded by
the conflict.
The remedy for the situation lies to
some extent in the hands of the motor
car owners. If they will be more care
full in their use of gasoline, running
their cars more reasonably, for business
chiefly, and with fewer needless trips
for luxury, they will cut down the con-
sumption of gasoline, not only saving
in their bills even at the present rate, but
lessening the demand and consequently
forcing reduction in the rate. Every
motor car owner must realize that a
large percentage of his ear use is ac-
tually needless, and that by careful
management he can lower his mileage
and as a result his gasoline consump-
ton.

Gasoline and Motor Use

Statistics of gasoline production and
price continue to be presented from
various sources in an effort to ascertain
the righteousness of the retail rates,
which just now are advancing. The lat
est contrJ BUTTON to this record is state
ment issued by the bureau of manufac-
lures 70 the effect that from 1909 TO
1914 the American production increased
40 per cent. This would seem to in
dicats that the rise in the retail price,
which has advanced until it is now be-
tween - and % cents a gallon, is I'm
justified But there is another element
IN the equation, not definitely deter
mined, which has material influence
upon the result. Gasoline is chiefly used
today in the propulsion of automobiles
and motor boats. The increase in the
number of motor cars, to take this one
use alone, has been tremendous during
the five years OF the period mentioned
II may safely be estimated at more than
the 10 per cent Of gasoline production
increase. Cars of a low price have been
tGrned oat literally by the hundreds of
thousands and absorbed Immediately by
the trade. They are SO common that it
IS almost strictly true that everybody
rides by gasoline power.
1t may be that the gasoline makers
have taken advantage of tits great in
crease in consumption to advance the
price, but after all the matter works
out to the old rule of supply and de-
mand. Gasoline, of course, costs no
more to make when it is being used by
the tens of millions of gallons than
when used by the millions, but in every
line Of business a great increase in de-

The Plaza Condemnation Saving

1t is noted in the report of the Capt.
toll plaza commission that the second
handling Of the properties involved eff
fected saving to the government of
between $4,000 and 100000 from the
awards of the first condemnation board.
That is to say, taking the lower figure,
the government pays $4,000 less for the
property to the owners than they would
have got if the original awards had been
confirmed. But as matter of fact that
figure does not represent the full loss
to those property owners. The account
should really state the losses incurred by
them during the many months of wait
ing upon the confirmation Of the first
award and during the second proceed
ings. No estimate has been reliably
made in these terms, but it is likely that

eminent by the second condemnation an
equal sum was literally taken from the
pockets of the property owners by the

The Police and Fire Pensions.

Citizens associations are expressing
themselves in urgent terms regarding
the necessity and the justice of legis-
lation providing for definite system
Of pensions for policemen and firemen
in the District. Regarding public opin-
ion on this subject there is no possible
question. The citizens of Washington
feel that definite duty is owed to the
policemen and the fremen in the mat
ter of making adequate provision for
the retirement of those who are dis
abled in service or who reach the age
Of retirement. The present method of
financing the policemen and fremen's
funds is haphazard and unreliable. The
money is taken out of fines and mis-
cellaneous fees, which fuctuate, with the
result that frequently, indeed usually,
there is not enough in the District
treasury to meet the regular demands
of the pension list. For some years
past the pensions have been in arrears,

PEELED to accept curtailed payments,
with no assurance whatever of eventual
remuneration in full.
The United States pays its retired
army and navy officers and its judges
and its coast guard workers out of its
regular funds, with no limitation upon
the amount available. It would be eter-
nally Inundated by a failure to meet
this obligation as regularly as it meets
the interest on its bonds. The District
should be put upon the same basis of
paying its retired policemen and fire.
men. An annual provision should be
inserted in its appropriation bill for the
meeting of this obligation out of the
general revenue in the measure required
by the state of the pension list, not spe-
cifcally limited in amount, but with a
sufficient margin to meet fluctuations.
Legislation to this effect should be en-
acted at the present session so as to
put an end to condition that has been
reproach to the National Capital for
years.

Roosevelt and Wilson,

In considering the question of what
Mr. Roosevelt will do in case he fails to
land the republican nomination for him
self and is not altogether pleased with
the selection made by the republicans,
note should be made of the great diff
ference between his attitude toward Mr..
Wilson now and four years ago.
In 1912 Mr.. Roosevelt probably had
no feeling against Mr.. Wilson except
that of political antagonist. He was
the leader of the bull moose party and
Mr.. Wilson of the democratic party. Of
personal bitterness there could not have
been a particle between the two men
Mr.. Roosevelt's bitterness was toward
Mr.. Taft, who had refused to retire in
his. Roosevelt's, favor. He carried him
self toward Mr. Taft as though resent
ing an injury.
This year Mr.. Wilson has no sharper
critic than Mr.. Roosevelt, who has con-
demned not only the Wilsonian policies.
foreign and domestic, but their author.
He has characterized Mr.. Wilson as a
"logothete," and deplored the absence
from the White House at such time Of
a man of action. And while Mr.. Wilson
has not replied specifically to the criti-
cism, it is known that he resents it
warmly.
Nobody knows better than Mr.. Roose-
welt that he more than any other one
man-more than Mr.. Bryan events re-
sponsible for what he now condemns
He elected Mr.. Wilson. He divided the
party which had showered its honors
upon him, and made way for Mr. Will
sons success. Had he supported his
party as he should have done after the
Chicago convention had rendered its de-
cision, Mr.. Wilson would have been
showed under at the polls.
In the light of these facts, does it seem
likely that Mr.. Roosevelt, under any
provocation, will again make himself not
only democratic but also Wilsonian
asset The republicans at present are
much heartened at their prospects. They
believe that Mr.. Wilson will again lead
his party; and their calculations for
November are based on that belief. But,
in order to win, they must go to the
polls in their old, united form.
Mr.. Roosevelt, as everybody knows, is
keen for another term or two as Presi-
dent; and his friends, in sympathy with
his aspirations and acting under his
directions, are moving to that end. But
faced with the necessity of choosing
between the republican candidate and
the democratic candidate, is it conceiv-
able that he will choose the latter. His
objection to Mr. Wilson now is not only
political but personal.

Chairman McCombs' Confidence.

Chairman McCombs of the democratic
national committee predicts the reunion
Of the republicans and the bull moosers
for the campaign, but thinks-the Presi-
dent can beat the combination.
The figures of 1912 are certain only as
applied to that year. We all know that
if the republicans had voted for Mr..
Roosevelt, or the bull moosers for Mr..
Taft, Mr.. Wilson would have been de-
feated. In his own name and as the
Baltimore nominee he did not appeal to
the voters as it was thought he would.
There was no sulking on the part of the
Clark MEN. Copying their favorite, they
pumped for the ticket.
Just why Mr.. Wilson disappointed ex-
pectations that year has never been ex-
planned. After his election was declared,
only languid interest was taken in the
figures. That he would hold Office by
the choice of the minority did not dis
turb his friends. All they cared about
was that he had won.
Here and there when the matter was
introduced Mr.. Wilson's most intimate
friends would say, "Oh, we'll, he got
there. He'll strengthen himself in Office.
He'll be majority President next time"
Mr.. McCombs predicts the fulfllment
of that prophecy. His relations with Mr..
Wilson have not been as intimate since
the LATTER became President. as they were
before. He early declined Office under
the administration, and has appeared to
hold aloof from it. But, as this ex-
preston shows, he is still Wilson man,
and wants him, and thinks he will be,
reelected.
Mr.. McCombs INDUCES in no par
ticulars. 1t is free guess as to what
he is relying on. Henry Watterson, an
other Wilson man, is trusting to luck.
There are prominent democrats banking
on. a continuation of the war, and on
the force Of the adjuration not to swap
horses while crossing stream. They be-
1ieve that the country will vote Mr.. Will
son another term rather than put new
man in the White House while Europe is
in commissions.
But if the republicans and the bull
moosers get together under leader
thoroughly acceptable to both, and on a
Mot form, rayia,yiuo tho adm n at ration q
record, something more than luck, and
some other appeal than that relating to
the war, will be necessary for Mr.. Will
son to win. The congressional elections
of 1914 showed the opposition getting
together and gaining. and foreshadow-
ing a full return of the strength which
but for the division in 1912 would have
carried the day.

ton. This property was pre-empted for
public use as soon as the act was passed
defining it as a reservation in prospect.
It became useless for marketing pur-
poses and to large extent for renting
uses. Many tenants, foreseeing early
custer, left for other dwellings, and the
properties thus vacated remained idle in
almost every case until finally taken by
the government. In some instances
owners we're forced to sell because they
could not afford to carry the properties
longer. Some of the lots were fore
closed upon by trustees for failure of
interest payments. The earning power
of these lands was practically destroyed
during many months. The second
awards. instead of reducing the amounts
to be paid by the government, should
have increased them to compensate the
owners for the losses suffered by them
through the governments delay. Every
consideration Of equity demanded that
the United States make good in this re-
spect, but instead the second condem-
nation commission. which appeared to
go on the theory that the first awards
were necessarily too high, assumes a
credit for Saving" the government
something between $4,000 and 100000.
The underlying principle of public con-
demnation under the right of eminent
domain is that no man shall suffer in
consequence of the governments pre-
emption of his property. This case, how
ever, stands as striking example of
the injustice of delay and reconsidera-
ton in a proceeding in which the prop
erty owner has had but small chance
for protection.
