Enforce the Fifteen-Foot Rule!

One of the most clearly defined traffic
rules in this city is that which compeis
the hating of all vehicles at least fifteen
feet behind the platforms of street cars
that are at a standstill for the entry OF
exit of passengers. This rule, however,
is being constantly violated Motors are
edged past standing cars regardless of
the regulations, and owing to the lack
Of sufficient traffic policemen these
breaches Of the rules 60 unpublished.
Within q few hours a man was struck
by q motor ut the corner Of 18th street
and Columbia road as he was leaving q
street car. Had the fifteen foot rule been
observed this would probably not have
happened. The rule is necessary to protect
street car passengers. especially in the
downtown streets, where vehicles are
parked at the curb and in many places
only a narrow space remains for those
entering and leaving the street car. IF
the fifteen-foot rule is to remain in force
it should be observed and applied. No
convincing reason has been shown yet
why it should not be enforced, and as

Senate changed 30 many features Of .
House tariff measure, warm contro-
versy was precipitated; and the Senate
won the fight. And two years ago the
Senate held a House bill-the Under
wood bill-five months, and made many
changes.
The ways and means committee of the
present House contains competent men
of the two schools of tariff thought.
Mr.. Kitchin, the chairman, is an ex-
perienced legislator, and a representa-
tive of the low tariff school-the tariff
for revenue only school. Speaking
broadly, he is rated as free trader.
Mr.. Fordney, at the head of the re-
publican minority Of the committee, is a
straightout protectionist. He, too, is a
legislator of experience, and as a men,
Der of the House has had to do with
tariff revision. He knows the way
around in business of that kind.
As this work is primarily for the
House, and the House is so well quail
fed to attend to it, the country will
look to that body, not only for the initia-
tive, but for the largest measure of the
details in the solution of the problem

moment What says the House?

danger,

Welcome to 1917! Every New Year
is to be welcomed. 1t brings opportuni-
ties and the possibility of achievements.
The prevailing note on the threshold of
the New Year is consequently always op-
timistic. Only the chronic pessimist,
who is far in the minority, fails to see
reason for expressing the wish for
"a happy New Year."
future. The veil that is drawn across
the human perspective is merciful and
helpful. If it were possible on this day
to know what 1917 will bring forth there
would be great discouragement, even
though the good far outweighed the
evil For it is the evil that makes the
greatest impression on the mind.
The year that has passed was not an
evil one for the American people. They
remained at peace, passing through a
crisis that in midyear threatened con-
flict with a neighboring state. They
were blessed with abundant harvests and
unbroken prosperity. Once more they
proved the soundness of their political
system by presidential election, which,
though turning upon a very small num-
Der of votes in single state, yielded
a verdict that was Immediately accepted
by the nation.
Abroad the year that has passed was
one of gloom and loss and sorrow and
suffering in greater degree than its pre-
decessor, for one more nation was
drawn into the maelstrom of war and
suffered disaster. The new year opens
with bare possibility that peace may
be concluded before twelve months have
elapsed. However remote that chance,
it is welcomed now. Millions of people
are today praying that 1917 will be
memorable in the annals Of time as that
in which the world war ceased.

traffic should avoid car track streets. By
doing so it is facilitated and relieves the

every motorist, as far as possible, to
keep away from the streets occupied by

of routes the traffic can be kept in easy
and speedy flow with minimum OF

Congress.

Tomorrow, the brethren-our national
legislators-will resume their work on
Capitol Hill. The time allowance is two
months. The card is crowded. The
business embraces questions of the
highest Importance. To use whip and
spur on some of them would be most
injudicious. But even if rush orders
prevail in the House, they will not "go''
to know why, it has the means of OBJ
tanning an answer.
As everybody now understands, the
government is in pressing need of con-
siderably more revenue. Where shall
the money be founda No agreement
exists on the subject among the leaders
of the responsible party. The different
suggestions show general cropping.
Maybe the atmosphere will clear after
a few conferences.
What shall be done about the rail-
roads and the brotherhoods? The Presi-
dent wants arbitration provided by ma
tional statute. The brotherhoods do
not. The railroads are playing wait
ing game. The public is a most inter
ested observer. Something should be
done at this session. But something that
represents information and reflection,
and not mere panic. Let us hope, in
everybody's behalf, that not another
piece of hold-up legislation ever gets
on the books.
We want, and should have, legislation
touching the army. Congress and the
country have heard from our most dis
tinguished soldiers. The pacifeists we
have still with US; and, as usual, they
are as full of the millennium as they
can stick. Congress must choose be-
tween the two.
There are other subjects that should
be handled at an early day, and, as in
the case of these three, they should be
handled with care.
With a card so crowded, and a time
allowance SO short, what will Congress
do? Pass up something to the next Con-
gress3 If so, what? Upon the answer
to that depends in some measure the
question of an extra session. Some mat
tiers could very well wait until next win
ter. Some could not.
But then there is the war. There are
all sorts of possibilities in that. If the
situation for us should become grave,
the country would want and the Presi-
dent need Congress in session. 1t is a
mighty comfortable body to have around
in time of trouble. 1t is charged with
duties which no other body can per
form; and when the time comes they
should be discharged as promptly as pos
sible.

Revenue and the House,

Secretary McAdoo, in some observa-

with it, says it is not for tho Treasury

to do so. His recommendations to Con-

The Allies Note.

So long as President Wilson's note t,
the bel1igerent powers remains unan
swered, the way to peace cannot be re
garded as definitely closed, even in tn,
light Of the joint note of the allied gov
ernments constituting the enemies o.
the central powers. That note is a fiat
rejection Of the German offer to open
negotiations for the restoration of peace
1t refuses to consider peace save upon
certain broad terms, already stated in
the speeches of the heads of the gov.
ernments Of England, France, Russia
and Italy, which comprise PREPARATION
for damages inflicted. restitution of ter
ritories seized and guarantees for the
future. To the extent that these con-
ditions may be viewed as terms, the al
lied governments have gone actually
further than the central powers in the
definition of the grounds upon which
the war may be ended, for Germany
speaking for the central powers, has pro-
posed merely a conference of delegates
The allies deny the premises of the
German note peremptorily, first that the
war was caused by the allied powers,
and second that it has reached the stage
of German victory. They set forth that
the war was provoked by Germany, in
the face of repeated efforts by the en-
tente powers to compromise what is
styled "purely local conflict" They
seek to fasten distinctly upon Germany
the responsibility for the precipitation
OF the catastrophe of world war. So
long as this position is maintained, in
direct opposition to that taken by Ger
many, that the allied governments are
themselves accountable for the war, a
wide gulf yawns between the powers
Whether this must be bridged before
peace negotiations can be opened is a
question. The difficulty of obtaining
from either side an admission of respon-
sibility for the terrible conflict is evil
dent. 1t may prove an obstacle to peace
that only q distinct military victory for
one side or the other can remove or over
come.
Germany has answered the Presidents

of the peace note to the entente, with

Prophecy is impossible. 1t is only as

Of Germany's proposal by the allies
brings q sudden and unexpected change
in the German position there will be nc

months to come. And resumption in the

desperate fury threatens to bring the
United States closer and closer to the

Wilson has warned his eountrymen and
