Street Safety.

President Peabody of the Washington
Safety First Association calls upon all
Washingtonians to cooperate in order
to make the streets of the capital safe
and to check series of street nlishaps
that has recently grown into alarming
proportions Mr.. Peabody properly
points out that this is matter of vital
Importance to everybody, to drivers and
pedestrians, to vehicle owners and We
hicle users, and no matter what the law
and the regulations may be, if q spirit
of carefulness does not prevail there
Will be mishaps, suffering and losses of
life. 1t is vitality important at this time
that every accident be avoided. Every
time life is sacrificed or a person is
crippled by street collision Americas s
seems to have been ignored by large
numbers of people who have become
even more reckless than ever in their
misuse of motor vehicles since the war
began. The record of street accidents in
Washington certainly bears out the sug-
gestion, for it has risen steadily in
recent months.
Fines and imprisonments will do
much to compel enforcement of the
laws, but perhaps the surest remedy for
reckless vehicle management i the de-

The Revenue Conference Report.

-Four months were required to COM
plete the war revenue bill-not too much
time when the character of the measure
and of the emergency which had made it
| necessary is considered,
| Congress. in way, was exploring a
new field 1t was charged with the duty
of finding money in an unprecedented
sum and from sources that would be
certain when assessed to pay.
Naturally therefore, some warm con-
tentions arose The House. with the
first "go," was for speed. The ways
and means committee refused hearings.
Business interests anxious for light and
to she'd light. were denied opportunity
When the committee reported. the House
rushed the bill Debate was short and
unilluminating.
The Senate when it received the bill
was for examination and discussion. Ad-
monished by criticism of the measure
from all quarters, it decided upon a
course the very opposite of that the
House had pursued. The finance com
mittee granted hearings. Business in
terests responded. The whole question
took on a new aspect And when the
Treasury Department submitted supple
mental estimates calling for much larger
levies than the House had provided, the
Senate had perfectly plain duty to per-
form. Revision of the Houses work be-
came imperative, and was made.
\ compromise in conference followed
as a matter of course. That is what
conference committees are built for. The
House conceded something to the Sen
ate, and the Senate something to the
House, and a vote in both houses on the
result is now to be taken.
Thu compromise has defects, as have
all compromises. 1t lacks a good deal
of satisfying everybody. It is likely
to raise questions in the execution. There
will probably be but few efforts to
dodge Dodging will be difficult. But
everybody will want to be assured as
to just what his tax liability is.
For this reason the conference report
should be fully and frankly explained
in both House and Senate. In the House
particularly the whole revenue problem
has undergone such a change since that
body tackled it four months ago. much
that is new in it should be discussed
And even in the Senate time devoted to
clearing up obscurities would be well
employed. The measure interests every
body, and should be interpreted by its
authors to the everyday intelligence.

number Of committees; and that ar
rangement has since obtained.
Whether the later arrangement has
worked for the better and promoted
economy is a question. A claim to that
effect has been disputed; and more than
once in the past twenty years there has
been agitation in favor Of a return to
the former arrangement.
The war has, of course, added impor-
tance both to the raising and to the ap-
propriating of money for the support
of the government. We have passed
from millions to billions. The large
figures of ycsteryear look small now.
But the billions are in order, and must
be appropriated.
The handling by one committee of the
enormous estimates for government pur-
poses today might promote system and
economy-something to be desired where
money demands are huge and pressing.
But necessarily it would make that com
mit,ee exceedingly powerful; and prob
ably on that foundation the opposition,
if developed, will plant itself.
The question is of so much interest it
ought to be weH discussed. and presum
ably will be, whether taken up at the
heels of this session, or at the begin
ming of the next

Crowded Front Platforms.

If the public utilities commission
wishes to improve the street railway
service in particular that affects the
daily comfort and the safety of pas
sengers it will compel the enforcement
of the rule against the occupation of the
front platforms of the old type of ears
still in use on some of the lines. These
cars bear Signs reading: Passengers arc
not allowed on the front platform At
present, Notwithstanding this notice,
passengers persist in crowding the plat
pered in the execution of their duties
and passengers entering and leaving the
cars are seriously discommoded and
even endangered. This practice prevails
when there is room within the cars for
passengers to stand. 1t may be more
agreeable to stand on the platform
than in the aisle, but the rule is prop
erly designed TO keep the steps and the
approaches clear so that at all times
The rule is not observed. Car crews,
when complaint is made, declare that
they have no authority to enforce it,
Who has the authority? If the car
crews cannot enforce so simple and fun
damental law as this they are indeed
helpless in protecting the public from
imposition and inconvenience. There is
apparently no difficulty about enforcing
the rule which was adopted some years
ago after fatal accident and by vir-
tue of which passengers are prevented
from riding on the running boards of
the open ears. If one rule can be en-
forced why not another? This matter is
worthy of consideration by the commits
sion if the companies that operate the
old-style cars continue to permit viola
tions daily and take no steps to give the
passengers safe means of entrance and
departure.

The Second Loan Drive.

Four weeks from today the second llb-
In these four weeks the United States
government will call upon the American
people to take its securities to the e1-
tent of three billion dollars, or $50 for
each man, woman and child in the coun-
try. Should more than that amount be
taken the government will accept 30
per cent of the oversubscription. 1nas-
much as it is assured that more money
will be needed, even with great over
subscription of the second loan, before
the war is ended, it will be to the ad-
vantage of the people to make the ex-
cess of subscriptions now beyond the
limit named as great as possible, so that
the Treasury may be supplied in ad-
vance against the needs to come.
As result of the thorough organiza-
tion the conditions of this loan and the
requirements of the government will be
Immediately laid before all the people.
The call for funds will be heard in a few
days in the remotest parts of the coun-
try. Writers and speakers trained in the
first liberty loan campaign will set forth
the facts effectively, so that probably
by the end of the first week the reason
for the second call, the terms of the loan,
its attractions to investors and the pa
triotic duty that rests upon every citi-
zen to subscribe will be convincingly
stated.
1t is duty that people now owe to
the government-which under our sys-
tenn is the people themselves-to supply
the funds required to maintain the war
against Germany. The common welfare
demands universal response to the call
This money is needed to maintain our
Army and our Navy, to finance the ex-
traordinary efforts of the government
for the conservation of necessities and
to supply our allies with funds for the
furnishing of their needs in the war
Every dollar of this money will be
spent in the United States, though bill
Hons are placed to the credit of the en-
tente governments. There will be no
outflow of wealth The raising and
spending of the three billion dollars
called for in the second liberty loan
will mean the turning over within the
United States of that amount of cash,
with the result that the American indus
tries will be maintained and that the
people who buy the bonds will receive
interest.
Every one who bought liberty bond
in May should be proud and eager now
to buy another. Every one who failed
then to get bond should make sure
to purchase one of the second issue.
There should be twice as many buttons
IN evidence at the end of these four
weeks as there were at the close of the
campaign last spring.

Appropriations.

Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria-

ate war budget committee, TO pass
upon all appropriations during the
period of the war. In explanation of a
bill he has introduced to that end he
says:
"The purpose is to concentrate during
the period of the war all appropriations
in 4 single committee. 1t will be dis
astrous to the nations finances if in the
coming session control of all appropria-
tions is not concentrated in one com
mittee. Unless a single committee is
empowered to review all the demands of
the administration, the House will per
form its most important duty in slip

own fault is forbidden for a specified
term to drive q vehicle again the reck-

cured by fear of loss of the privilege OF
using the streets with motor cars. The

poses skill and regard for the traffic
