Platforms and Street Crossings.

| Installation of additional street car
loading platforms, six on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, one in front of the
Union Station and one on 14th street
at U, now ordered by the Public Utili-
ties Commission, will undoubtedly
serve in the interest Of the public
safety. With the establishment Of the
skip-stop system there is continual
accumulation Of passengers at few
points, and if they are not given pro-
lection beyond the mere marking Of
lines on the pavements they will be
constantly in danger. Whether the
loading platforms are permanent or
only temporary, they are needed now.
and those that have been installed
have proved their usefulness so dis
:inctly that they are regarded as a
material advantage.
With the car stops arranged as at
present, often in midblock, and with
loading platforms usually stationed at
4 distance from the crossing points,
the problem Of street crossing by pc
destrians becomes more serious than
ever There is NO longer any protec-
ton for the pedestrian at the cross
;ngs incidental TO the stopping of ears
IT such points. The fact is that the
person on foot has all the risk save at
he crossings guarded by traffic police
men. Desperate chances are constant
ly being taken by people going from
curb to curb. 1t is absurd to hold the
pedestrian to the intersection crossing
points il he has no rights there. It is
particularly absurd to insist upon his
using those crossing points when those
who are taking and leaving cars are
compelled to walk TO the loading plat
forms in midblock. Consideration of
the fact that there are many times
more pedestrians than riders in motor
vehicles may possibly lead to diff
ferent point of view regarding the men
and women vino walk.

We are too busy at present adequate

wait until hostihties have ceased be-
fore taking stock. But this much is
certain even now: Order in everything
will be imperative. We shall have
great resources, and large plans for
further developing and using them.
The national purpose is to play large
part in international trade affairs. We
want large share of the worlds
trade; and to secure it we must bid
against some Of the shrewdest traders
in the world.
Everything will require order, sys-
tenn and economy. We must measure
our revenues and their uses in bust
nesslike way. War on "pork," prop
erly so-called, will have to be relent-
less. Playing personal politics with
the public moneys will then be, as it
has always been. sort Of waste, with
the people stoutly opposed to all waste
in the presence Of public needs so
great and assessments for them SO
heavy. A budget will inhere in the

The Session.

No thought should be taken now
about the length Of the session. That
should be-indeed, it must be-left to
war and other developments. Con-
grcss is here, and should remain while
there is pressing business to be trans
acted.
As all may see today, there was
never chance for adjournment July l.
Sc early date should never have been
considered. There was too much work
in hand, and it was too important to
be rushed.
Then came the demand from the
Treasury Department for moro reve-
nue., and the arrangement for the early
adjournment faded away. 1t was clear
that Congress must sit considerably
longer, and arrangements to that end
were made. That new revenue meas
ure would be big order could not be
disputed. Several months at least
would he necessary for shaping and
Ilssins it.
And now the U-boat invasion has en-
tered into the equation. The war has
i,een brought home to us in q very
intimate way. 1t is right at the door.
The full German plan Is Of course,

The Work Begun.

The ways and means c0mmlttee yes
terday entered upon its stupendous
task. Finding eight, or even six, bill
lions Of dollars 5y taxation is a mans
+, job truly. Bit it must be done. The
government needs the money. The
war has reached a pressing stage.
Americas part stands defined, and it
is very large.
Incomes. Of course, will be assessed
They should be. They are legiti-
mate source of revenue supply in peace
times as well as in war times. They
are specially justly assessable in war
times. But equitably.
And not a word Of dissent to the
proposition for heavy assessment on
excess war profits can properly be
urged. They are product of the war.
They will cease with the war. While
they exist, therefore, they should be
made to contribute liberally to sup
Port what has called them into being.
The amount of the contribution should
be fixed fairly, and with regard to a
living return upon capital invested.
IN industry can be taxed out of exist
ence; and if American war industries
should be disabled by taxation the gov
ernment's revenue supply would suffer
accordingly.
The word '4uxuries" covers many
things. OF course, luxuries should pay
should always pay. Neccssarics
should pay only in a pinch. There ex-
lists pinch now; but while there is a
luxury capable of yielding revenue, not
:. necessary should be touched.
Should cotton be brought under levy?
Why not! The crop is large, the price
nnprecedentedly high, and an assess
lnent would bring snug sum into
Uncle Sans till. The question will
figure in the debates.
A limited revision of the Under
wood tariff law is suggested. The
present is not a good time for that.
Business everywhere in the world is
so much out Of plumb that tariff re-
vision, even in part, should be de-
ferred until something like normal in
production and consumption has been
restored.
In joeosc spirit Mr.. Moore of Penn
sylvania asked Mr.. Marvin of the Eos-
ton Home Market Club yesterday ii he
was not ashamed of favoring a tariff
for protection as we'll as for revenue
"No more than l am ashamed Of the
american flag, or of the American
soldier said Mr.. Marvin. An excel
lent reply when it is remembered that
but for protection Americas business
strength today would adequately sup
port neither tie fag nor the soldier.
The policy of protection, long applied,
has made America one of the leading
nations of the world.
