Clothes and the Man.

In certain stories of futuristic con-
cept accounts have been given Of state
of society in which all persons Of Ger
tain classes wear the same kind Of
clothes, social uniform, as it were, in
dicating their occupations and rank. But
this is not so fantastic an idea as indi-
Gated by the plan of the commercial
economy board of the Council Of Ma
tional Defense to standardize clothing
for men. IF this plan goes through all
extreme models and designs will be
eliminated. Mems clothes will be cut
along lines of utility and moderation.
There will, Of course, be some range Of in
dividual expression in the matter Of col
lars and neckties, possibly with touch
Of color in the shirt, but if this scheme
works it will not be tho clothes that
make the man, but the man who gives
the clothes personality. 1t is to be noted
the commercial economy board, with a
wisdom that is veritably uncanny
makes no move toward standardization
of women's clothes. This war is a big
Job. There is no need to add to its
pains and difficulties.

taches to delay. Hence, IL changes IN
those features are to be made they
should be made IN time to enable per-
sons under the assessments to escape
this penalty.
A clarifying Of the law is most de-
sirable. As it stands, it is puzzle even
to experts. Men learned in taxation.
others in general economics, others in
the law, have been studying 1t with q
view Of assisting the authorities in It's
execution, and have found it q hard nut
to crack. And they have not yet sur
mounted their difficulties.
The extent of the trouble is greater
than hitherto has attached to tax law,
or any other kind of law. Treasury
officials have had nice questions pre-
sented to them before, and even the
courts have been appealed to in cases Of
doubtful meaning. But in the present
case nearly all seems to be in doubt. Mr..
Smoot declares that he has not "been
able to find two persons who interpret
the revenue acts alike"
Mr.. Smoot's measure calls for discus
sion. On that account it should be
taken up at once. Supporters and op-
ponents alike should have full time to
present their views. The subject is
wide, and, as the discussion at the spe-
cial session showed, complex to a de-
gree. It does not involve tho tariff at
all. An income tax and tax on excess
profits find support in both parties. In
fact, there is no opposition, the only
points at issue relating to rates, and
terms of assessments.
While large amount Of revenue is
necessary to meet the governments
needs, the prosperity of the country and
the spirit Of the people warrant heavy
levies. The money can be collected.
The most expert tax dodger could not
hope to escape paying in the present cir
cumstance. But abundant as the pros
perity is, and as willing as the people
are to meet their obligations to the gov
eminent, all assessments should be so
well founded in good reason that no
quarrel with the law in any quarter
should be possible, or have leg to
stand on.

to give safe passage down the street.
The householder who before breakfast
this morning put sawdust or ashes on
the walk in front Of his house per-
formed public service. If everybody
had done it progress downtown this
morning would not have been attended
with peril. The force Of example tells
in matter Of this kind. It is only q
small service each man renders to his
fellows, but it may save broken limbs
and possibly lives. The next time Wash
ington is visited by a sleet storm every
sidewalk in the city should be rough

Business and Congress.

The business world is preparing to
take an active interest in this years
congressional campaigns.
The step is justified by the situation.
Business has very large stake in the
game. Prospects now are that the next
Congress will have to deal with many
business questions-more than the usual
number, and many Of them new.
Dislocations are general. Some are
radical Some puzzle business men
themselves, much more do they puzzle
lawyers and politicians, who are numer-
Gus in every Congress.
This will make for difficulties on every
hand. The tangles must be Strengthened
out. Business is business, and it must
go on. And the more successfully it is
conducted the better for the country.
Poor business means wide discomfort,
and wide discomfort means peril for the
government. Moreover, taxes are heavy
and must be paid, and business produces
the wherewithal.
But business men should do more than
merely watch the game and back play
ers in whom they have confidence. They
should take hand, and play themselves
The next Congress should contain "a
liberal sprinkle" Of members who have
been trained in business; who know
men and everyday values rather than
books and theories; who would bring to
questions Of finance and taxation and
trade the fruits Of long experience and
many successes.
1t is an old complaint that business
men take too little interest in politics
that they neglect the primaries, and even
the election days when officials are
chosen; that out Of this Indifference
political bosses and their machines have
issued.
Whatever hitherto there may have
been in this complaint, there should be
no cause for It henceforth. Both the
business world and the political world
have received jolt which should cause
both to bestir themselves as seldom be-
fore. The times are most decidedly
out Of joint. Guideposts have disap-
peared. PathmaEng is imperative, and
must be performed under many diff
culties.
In a way, there may be some sacrifice
IN turning thus from business to politics.
And yet there should be money in it,
too. For the better the legislation as
the result Of assistance from business
men. the greater will be the country's
prosperity; and in that business men Of
all grades will share.

Tho Sunday Campaign.

440 OU40ay O3mp0Su.
: Rev. William Sunday began his eight
wesks campaign in Washington last
might In circumstances that promise a
most successful, valuable series Of meet-
-ings at the capital Three audienees
were assembled, completely filing the
great tabernacle on the station plaza,
including people Of all walks Of life.
Washington has never seen such an out
pouring on an occasion Of this char
! actor. The evangelist's fame as a di-
rect and forceful speaker undoubtedly
: drew many from curiosity. But what
: ever the motive for attendance the fact
remains that over 10000 persons were
yesterday stirred deeply by tho appeals
for righteous living and by the patri-
otic utterances Of Mr.. Sunday. Lasting
good cannot fail to come from such an
arrest Of thought. ~Billy" Sunday is a
dynamic force. BE arouses people from
their complaeeney and their lethargy.
,-He brings then faee to face with fun
Sidamental facts and everlasting princi-
Piles. He moves them out Of their grooves
Of thought. It Is impossible to remain
Indifferent under the influence Of his
discourse. In the course Of the eight
weeks Of his stay in Washington his
meetings should be attended by every
adult person in the capital at least once

Cut Down the Phone Calls.

t"q' At the meeting Of the Federation of
; Citizens Associations Saturday night Mr..
E. E. Clements, who represents the Board
Of Trade at the hearings on the tele-
.".phone rate question before the Public
: Utilities Commission, made a plea to all
telephone users as a patriotic duty to
reduce the number and length Of their
calls as much as possible. Undoubtedly
much can be done toward relieving the
!. heavy burden on the telephone service
-Eby the exercise Of consideration by both
: business and domestic users Of the tele-
: phone. It is particularly important that
the subscribers to tho "f1at rate" or un-
limited service should be careful about
- their number Of calls, to the end that
!. they may not be charged with adding
to the heavy load that the telephone
service is now compelled to carry by rea-
son Of the governments emergency
needs.
Undoubtedly the greater part Of the
present telephone troubles in Washing
ton is due to the extraordinary demand
& by the government for service. It has
multiplied its telephone use by many
times in tho last eight or nine months,
. and its demands are increasing. Just
as the people have been asked to save
certain kinds Of food, and to be sparing
lin the use Of fuel-though fuel econo-
mics have been forced by circumstances
are now asked to be economical
lin the telephone, all as war measure,
~ matter Of patriotic service. To the
Z - extent that the domestic and business
telephone use Is lessened, the govern
ment gets better service and the public
business is expedited. Many calls are
made now from residences that could be
eliminated. There is much social chat
ting over the telephone. Every one Of
% these calls represents a drain on the
wires. Every time "centrap is called
...ssomebody else is kept waiting. Especial
" is there drag on the service when
ever a call is made from one exchange
TO another.
a Attao tuUuSuL Will SNOW many
chances to reduce the number of calls
daily. Ordinarily telephone call is
..udnore desirable than letter, as tho an
-.swer can be received Immediately. But
the substitution Of the mails for phone
. service is recommended as an emergency
! aexpedient that will eliminate many need
less uses Of the phone. It is urged, too,
to distribute calls during tho day, and
not bunch them at the same time. This
reevens up the demand on the switch
board and makes for better service for
everybody.
- Every Washingtonian now enjoying
the fat rate service, Of course, wants to
keep it. The company wants to elimi-
: nate it. There is no justification, in
fact, for denial Of the unlimited serv-
Ice on the score Of the governments de-
mands for telephone use. The. people
3who now have such phones can, in ad-
dition to performing public service,
deprive the company Of its main argu-

ereising economy in calling central
