REASONS FOR CAR
SHORTAGE

Very startling figures on the car
shortage from which the country is
suffering are contained in a report
submitted to the House by Repre-
sentative John ]. Esch of Wisconsin,
ranking Republican member of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce. In eight closely printed
pages MI. Esch covers the subject
extensively and shows that while in
April, 1915. there was a surplus of
327,0S4 idle cars, at the end of Janu-
airy of this year there was a car short
age of more than 100,0 900. Mr.. Esch
attributes the situation to a variety
of causes, among which are made
quate trackage and warehouse facili-
ties, lack of motive power, inefficient
operation, etc. At the conclusion of
his report Congressman Esch submits
a bill designed to cure the evil and do
much to restore normal conditions in
u car service.

THAT TEN.PER-CENT


Think of the countless ridiculous
situations which would be brought
about by the enforcement of the tariff
provision in the new Democratic reve-
nue. bill, which reads: There shall
be paid upon all articles when i'm
ported from any foreign country into
the United States, if not now
dutiable by law, a duty of 10 per cent
ad valorem"i
Under this classification would come
gold and silver bullion; articles spe-
cially imported, such as temporary
imports for export within six months;
articles for diplomatic officers; for
manufacture in bonded warehouses;
for construction of vessels for the
United States; philosophical and sci
entiic apparatus, specimens of nat
ural history; regalia, etc., for relig-
ious and educational purposes; works
Vi ait u CAAlDltAOAy al bACANDJ NhC
growth, produce and manufacture of
the United States returned; art works
of American artists; household and
personal effects and wearing apparel.
We are importing gold and silver
bullion to pay off trade balances held
against other nations at the rate If
$500, O00, 900 annually. Under this pro-
vision this bullion would be subject
to a duty of $1,000. 900, which would
be quite a novel proposition in the
world of finance. Notwithstanding the
principle of extraterritoriality. diplo-
matte officers would be taxed for
literally everything which came TO
their embassies. Bonded warehouse
manufactures would get a double tax
The 81, 900, 900, 900 fleet which Presi-
dent Wilson wants built would come
in for a healthy tax. Manufactures
imported for the uses OF our troops
would have to pay duty. Our scien-
tifc laboratories would pay the pen
atty of too much investigation. Ted
dy's stuffed specimens and his qua
charo bird would get another shock.
Even the robes of priesthood would
not be sacred. The Mona Lisa would
suffer, and the ardor of those great
American artists, Bud Fisher and
Goldberg, would be dampened.
All these things could c~onceivably
happen under the explicit language of
the law. OF course. it is apparent
that Chairman Kitchin and his disci
Piles WEIGHED on the job. They couldn't
handle it themselves, so they passed
it up to the Senate. But it is a fine
commentary on the Democrats in the
lower House who are now charged
with the responsibilities of war legis-
lation.

BICYCLE AND AUTO COLLIDE
Ode Beavin Dragged Forty Feet 10
Collision Thursday

While returning from work on Thurs
day afternoon on his bicycle, Ode Bea.
vim, who is employed a, the Power
House at the Naval Academy, met
with an accident, that might have been
most serious in its results.
While rounding the corner at School
street and Church Circle, MIR. Besvin's
wheel collided with an automobile an j
he was dragged forty feet.
In some unsccountable way the BIZ
cycle and automobile became locked
when the collision took place and Mr..
Beavin retained his seat on his wheel,
which was dragged distance of some
40 fl. before the automobile could be
stopped and the bicycle riIer could
dismount.
Had MIR. Beavin not been able to
keep his seat on the wheel Re would
have sustained serious injury.
The driver of the car was q Mr..
Sadler, who showed Mr.. Beavin every
courtesy and offered 10 become respon
sible for damages to the bicycle. The
place where the accident occurred is a
most dangerous section of the city,
for it is impossible in making the Turn
to see any dist nee ahead.
In the collision considerable damage
was ne TO Bevain's wheel
ss,rne sprockett was broken, the
spring b nt and the whesl was badly
wrecked.
