GRAZING CHARGES
ON The RESERVES

OGDEN, Dec. 1S.-The returns
from grazing will rise as more stock
use the forests in consequence OF
range improvement and the develop
ment of new ranges. There is now
in contemplation an increase in the
grazing fee which would result in a
marked further addition to the re-
ceipts fund. During the past ten
years of grazing regulation the value
of the range to the stockmen has
materially increased. Improved meth.
ods of managing both the range and
the stock have been introduced.
Losses are fewer, production Ia
greater and the product is of a
higher quality. At the same time
the outside public range has been
greatly reduced, while the demand
has grown.
|. The present demand for grazing
privileges on majority of thf
forests far exceeds the carrying capa
city, and the demand is on the in
crease.

Conflicting Theories of Economy.

District Commissioner Kutz addressing the
House Committee the District of Columbia
said that in the opinion of the Public Utilities
Commission, composed of the three District
Commissioners, neither reduction of overhead
charges nor other desirable results would follow
amalgamation of a Washington street railway
with an electric lighting and power corporation
1t will be recalled that these same Commission
ers, in their recommendations to Congress for
Capitalization of power in the District govern
ment, gave their chief reason the economies
that would be effected 1t would be more eco
nonlical they urged to have entire control of the
public school system vested in themselves in
stead of divided between the Board of District
Commissioners and the Board of Education
Also, economy would result from giving the
Commissioners exclusive control over the water
supply OF Washington instead of permitting it to
remain partly under the direction of the War
Department. The superiority of the administra.
tive ability of the Commissioners, compared with
that of the directors of the street railway and
power plant would, perhaps, enable them to
economize on education and the water supply. II
they were given sole control even though Con-
gress apparently was not convinced that such
would be the case. But would it not be possible
for the Commissioners constituting the Public
Utilities Commission, and charged with the SUI
pervision of these corporations, to impart some
of their genius for economy to the single direc-
torate of consolidated street railway and power
plant, in the interest of better service at lower
cost?
The Washington herald., 1916-04-22
Urgent Need of New Loan Law.

Proof is complete that the existing law limit
ing the rate of interest on money loaned in
the District of Columbia to I per cent a month,
law enacted to protect the poor borrower from
conscienceless usurers, has not only defeated
its own purpose, but has made conditions far
worse for many of those it was intended to
benefit. While the old law permitted bare
faced robbery, the new one made it impossible
for lenders of money without security to do
business here at all, with the result that per-
sons desperately in need of money have been
driven into Virginia, where they have been
fleeced with ruthlessucss that even the usurers
who once operated in Washington would have
been ashamed OF.
There is pending before Congress a bill in
creasing the maximum rate of interest to ?
per cent month, which, it is claimed will per-
nit reputable money lenders to do business at
profit. Two per cent would seem to be a
fair and reasonable rate on unsecured loans.
If under conservative management money cannot
be safely and proftably loaned here at this
rate it is a serious reflection on Washington
borrowers in general and money should not
be loaned to them at all. There is no reason,
however, to believe that this is the case.
The high character of those citizens who
appeared yesterday before the Senate Commit
tee of the District of Columbia in advocacy of
the pending measure gives sufficient assurance
of its merits and the necessity for its enact
ment. Their accounts, too, of the Infamous
extortion practiced in Virginia as a result Of
the present prohibitive law, quite worthy
of credence. That law was hastily drawn, ILL
considered and enacted under pressure of over
Jealous but impractical agitators. That it has
proved worse than failure is not surprising
The pending bill was drawn after careful in
vestigation and deliberation, and is a rational
measure, fair alike to borrower and lender. 1t
is to be hoped that it will speedily be enacted
into law that present criminal practices may be
put to an end
