Aggressive Representation Needed.

To the Editor OF The Star:
This is addressed to you as the chie1
exponent of the wishes OF majority OF
our people to see our city Americanized.
concrete illustration of the necessity
of giving US representative nome gov
eminent is now presented 70 US IN con-
nection with the request of the teie-
phone company for higher rates Tor resi-
dent telephones.
I intend 10 express no opinion as to
the merit of the application. 1t occurs
10 me. Of course. that II the govern
mental war requirements have imposed
an increased burden upon the local teie-
phone company for the beneht OF the
nation at large that burden should In
iustice not be passed on TO the house
holders OF Washington. Beyond this 1
know nothing about ii. l. suspect the
other househoiders, who are to pay the
piper, know equally little. They are I'M
organized. and not one has sufficient
financial interest TO justify the employ
rnent of accountants and OF attorneys to
represent his interest before the utilities
comm ission.
How perfectly empty and futile to-in-
wife the public to be present.; even
then subject to the restriction of mo
cross-examination."
To put the matter In a nutshell. either
the Commissioners are the loyal par
tisans and representatives of us Wash
1ngtonians, in which case they cannot
our public service corporations: or. II,
as l think is the case, they are con-
seientious and impartial judges between
us, then we are left without aggressive
and effective representation.
Without intending the slightest dis
respect to any public service corpora
tion by the comparison. the Commits
sioners' "inviation to be present" leaves
me In about the same frame of mind
as IL Maj. Pullman should notify me that
a burglar was going to enter my house
tonight, that was invited to be pres
ent. and he would send up policeman
to see there was fair play between us.

Insist on Walking Distance.

While 1t is agreed by all who have been
working to house the newcomers that
there are hundreds of idle rooms. both IN
boarding houses and private families, all
admit that thus far they have been unable
to bring the rooms and the roomers to-
gether.
The visiting clerks themselves have
added to the perplexity of the problem by
refusing in many cases to accept ldeat
quarters because they were not within
walking distance of the department in
which they are working.
William H Baldwin of the District
council Of defense pointed out that it is
manfestly impossible to place $4,000 or
more additional inhabitants, who arrive
almost at one time within half mile
area of the War Department, Treasury
or other departments.
Numerous cases also have occurred in
which room-seekers went to two or three
places listed by the two agencies now
handling the housing problem, only to
md that the rooms had been already oc-
cupied. 1t is pointed out that such Incl
dents would be less likely to occur with a
central federal bureau, keeping up-to-
date records of all rooms available.

PLANS MORE AID IN
D. c. HOME PUZZLE
Civil Service Commission
Joins Battle on Housing
Problem Here.
PRESIDENT is TO HELP

Establishment of central oom-regis-
tration bureau, under federal control. to
aid in housing thousands of govern
ment clerks to be brought here between
now and March probably will result
from the action of the civil service
commission in interesting itself in the
housing problem.
The commission was prompted to take
M the problem because of fear that
il would be unable to induce workers,
particularly women, to come here I'M
less adequate Accommodations can De
promised. The commission also has been
hampered considerably in recruiting the
10000 additional clerks needed by false
reports circulated through the country
of alleged conditions under which extra
government clerks are supposed to be
forced to live here. One newspaper in
Boston is said to have stated that the
federal workers here are sleeping in
tents
it impossible to get the number of
workers needed. the commission several
days ago laid the situation before the
President. Nj. Wilson replied he had
already taken an interest in the hous-
ing problem here and would give it
further consideration.
At present the District council of.l
defense and the local branch of the
WOudH COiiihiitlCS VI Inc SOuHSii VI
National Defense are endeavoring to
meet the situation in cooperation with
the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Y w. c. A.
The local defense council and the
woman's committee are accepting Of
fers of rooms and turning them over
to the Y. II. C. A. and the Y. w. c. A.
There is much duplication of effort
however and it is probable that as
result of the Civil Service Commits
sion's action the federal government
will make an appropriation for the
establishment of the central room bu-
reau 1t is estimated $4,000 a year will
be required to operate the bureau
An official of the Civil Service Com
mission said today he hoped the bu-
reau would be established Immediately
because he does not believe it is the
duty of the people of the District to
solve this problem. which so vitality
affects the clerical army in winning the
war

specifically prohibits the naming OF
a member Of congress to any office
he has helped to create. This pro-
vision barred the local congress from
carrying out the British system to
its logical conclusion.
But Speaker Osmena, after mature
deliberation, declined the appointment
as secretary of the interior. In Off
cial circles it was freely stated
though not verified-that Osmena
would not accept a cabinet appoint
ment unless Quezon were also ele-
waited to the cabinet Politicians saw
in this coming struggle for suprem-
acy-friendly though it might be
between these two men, the big fig
ures of Philippine political life today
Either Quezon declined a cabinet of
flee or the provisions of the Jones
bill made such an appointment impos-
sible. Whatever the truth of the
matter, Osmenas declination made
the plan impossible. 1t had been
hoped to make his position as secre-
tary of the interior, who was also a
member of the lower house, anala-
gous to that of the British premier
The desire to secure an analogy to
the British system, however, is served
by the council of state. Whether
this council of state will provide fo1
a premier, the future alone will tell
If there is to be a premier, it is de-
clared it must be Osmena as he is
not alone speaker of the house, but
President of the Nationalist party
the predominant political group in
the islands. Friends of Osmena state
that he does not care to be premier
at time when Filipino control is
not absolute. He feels that the fail
ure of his government might be
brought about by circumstances over
which he had no control. Yet he per-
sonally would be held responsible and
might jeopardize his entire life work
He is not yet forty, and his career
in Philippine life is brilliant with
promise.

FILIPINOS PREPARE
FOR AUTONyMY

Manila, March 1.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press Laying
the foundations for the future gov
eminent of the Philippines, the new
Philippine congress has been wrestl,
ing in the three months of its exist
ence with various problems of or
ganization which have for their fun
damental basis the foundation of q
system of government like both that
of the United States and that of
Great Britain.
Out of countless plans and sug-
gestions has now risen a council of
state soon to be named by Governor
General Harrison. This council of
state will include both the speaker
Of the house and the president of the
senate-Sergio Osmena and Manuel
Quezon respectively. Just what other
members it will include has not been
stated. 1t will probably include also
the secretaries of the executive de-
partments.
As originally planned, these secre-
taries were to form a cabinet. Under
the law organizing tie new depart
ments, the secretaries and their as
sistants may be required to attend
sessions of either house of congress
to aid in the discussion Of any law.
This gives the executive departments
regular representation-without a
vote-congress Then the plan was
preached of naming as secretary of
the interior, an office held over from
the old regime and consequently open
to a member Of congress, Speaker
Osmena. The Jones hill, passed by
the United States congress in 1916,
