Transfer Charge Challenged.

1t is now contended by an attorney
of this city that under the laws grant
ing charters to the local street railway
companies, not affected by subsequent
legislation, there is no authority for
the imposition of a transfer charge Of
2 cents within the lines Of either Of
the two local systems. He holds that
under the charters of the roads q
passenger may ride for single fare
with or without transfer from any
point on system to any other point.
The Public Utilities Commission. he
contends, may increase the fare, but
may not discriminate by the imposi-
ton of transfer charge between those
Who ride without transfers and those
wEo must change cars.
This point has never been settled by
the court for the reason that it has
never before arisen. Certainly there
is discrimination in the 2-cent trans
fer charge between the transferring
and the non transferring passenger.
Unless the courts hold that the public
utilities act, which gives the commits
sion the power to change the rates of
fare, cancels the one.fare requirements

whole time and one giving halliday
time. Small branch classes have been
established in Georgetown, Southwest
Washington, at the Western High
School and upon Capitol Hill.
The funds for this work at present
come out Of the appropriations for
day schools, grade teachers and night
schools. The foreign night school is
kept open through patriotic private
subscriptions.
That the work of Americanization
can be carried on efficiently at the
National Capital under such condi-
tons is an obvious impossibility. The
best is being made of what is at hand,
but the best is but a drop in the
bucket. Adequate housing facilities;
ample appropriation for the salaries
of instructors at the rate paid to high
school teachers, for the personality
and ability of the teacher is an i'm
portant feature in the instruction Of
adults; funds for carrying word of
the purposes and benefits of Ameri-
canization to those in need Of it are
prime necessities in the work ahead.
Whether they are made available
through a separate appropriation or
through the annual educational budget
is a matter of expedience

the world safe for democracy. A
small fraction of that sum is essen

itself to raise the point in way to
facilitate the rendering Of satisfac.

by the court to be without legal au-
thority it, of course, fails to meet the
need for which it was devised, and
some other method of increasing the

vided, unless that property is to. be

Switzerland and the Blockade.

Switzerland's refusal to agree to join
a blockade against Germany in case
Germany declines to sign the peace
treaty will probably not affect the sit
uation in such an event, save to make
matters harder for the mountain re-
public. A blockade will be maintained
as during the war. Switzerland will
simply find it harder to obtain sup
plies for herself. Her strict neutrality
may obligate her to impose this bur
den upon herself and the allied coun-
tries will doubtless feel some SYM
patty, which, however, will probably
not be sufficient to give Switzerland
enough goods to enable her to main
tain trade with the enemy.

The District Bill.

Keen disappointment IS caused by
be action yesterday of the House ap-
fppriatiOns committee in reporting
pt the District bill in the precise
orm, as to the fiscal provisions, that
had when it went to the Senate last
Finter. 1t was confidently expected
hat the committee would, at least in
he interest of speedy action, take
ognizanee of the unyielding opposition
II the Senate to changing the methoI
IF maintaining the National Capital
municipality by way of an appropria-
ion bill rider. 1t was hoped that the
committee would return to the manner
BE provision for the Districts main
Fenance that was established by the
organic act of 1873 and has been in
Vogue ever since.
A margin of one vote in sub-eom-
mittee and of two votes in the full
committee is reported as the basis of
the action yesterday. Thus the bill
goes to the House with barely de-
fned committee recommendation to
adhere to the form of bill that failed
of passage and that the Senate op-
posed to the point of deadlock in con
ference. There is still ground for
hoping that the House will restore the
formal half-and- half provision which
the statute commands and send the
bill, over to the Senate in q form to
permit speedy action, with only such
changes as the necessities oil the Dis
|trjet in peace time require.
Now it is assured that if the House
fails thus to restore the bill to its
customary form of appropriation the
District must appeal to the Senate, as
it has in the past, to see that justice
is. done. This will inevitably compli-
csts the conference, assuming that the
Senate will stand true to its course
in tho past and refuse to permit a
change to be made in the basic law
by indirection. -
The action of the House committee
is the more surprising in view of the
assurance that was given that no at
tempt would be made at present to
alter the appropriation basis. It is
the less telerable because Of the entire
lack Of hearings.- The Districts case
has never been presented ON this sub
jeet to that committee in the framing
Of the budget. The only time of its
fnlt presentation was when Congress
provided for the appointment of q
Joint fiscal commission, which inyesti-
gated the subject at great length and
readered a report sustaining the
equity and necessity of the half and.
half system. Upon that report the
District stands today, confident in the
belief that the present Congress will
not commit the act of inequity that
is now proposed in the form in which
the bill appears before the House of
Representatives. FL

Americanization in the District.

The problem of Americanization
involving as it does the future welfare
of the nation, is one for instant and
earnest study on the part of every loyal
citizen. That situation exists where
byanearly one-sixth of the population
of the United States over ten years Of
age are utterly out of touch with the
written word that carries the spirit Of
America through the ages is an inered-
ible but an actual fact. The power
fer harm Of such a condition is right
ly,a source of grave apprehension.
The duty of facing the facts as they
exist, Of determining the contributing
causes and of urging immediate
semedial steps is undeniable.
The conditions in Washington fur
nish a moderate example Of the needs
Of the case and of the facilities for
meeting them. Thorough investiga-
ton ON the part of the Department of
IAb0r's bureau of naturalization re-
suits in the statement that the APP
proximate number of residents Of the
District of Columbia in need of the
benefits of Americanization is $4,000.
The bureau further announces that it
is. at present possible, with the local
facilities at hand, to meet this re-
quirement by furnishing necessary in,
struction to but $40 individuals. 1t
urges the necessity for a separate ap,
preparation for the education of for
eigners in the District, under a sep
srate supervisor.

instruction to adult foreigners are as

Capital and Labor.

1t is suggested that a conference. OF
labor and capital interests be called
| in Washington, on the sound assump-
ton that out of the deliberations of
such meeting a program satisfactory
to both partners in the great firm OF
industrial promotion, may be formu
lated. The praeticability of such a
conference, at which the delegates,
meeting in an earnest effort to solve
one of the most pressing problems Of
the day, would have as their main pur-
pose the development of a spirit of
mutual confidence, is unquestionable.
All that is needed for industrial Sc.
curity and prosperity in a land Of
modern enlightenment is confidence.
Confidence is bred of understanding
and Of sympathetic appreciation. Con-
fidence breeds fairness. Honesty is its
sister.
The formula upon which honest men
gre TODAY seeking to establish the Sc
curity and prosperity of industrial re.
lations is not an involved one. Its basic
:rinciple is that Of the golden rule.
It insists that labor and capital are
each entitled to a living wage, Il wage
that insures share in the comfort, the
10Y and happiness of life, and that the
surplus of their joint earnings, where
such q surplus exists, belongs t. both
capital and labor, in such proportions
as equity alone shall determine
The dark hours Of industrial conflict
result from failure to adhere to the
spirit Of this formula. Exploitation of
whichever partner happens to be the
weaker. at ? given time could never in
sure . smoOthrunning firm. The cards
Of labor and capital must be on the
table, the books of each must be open
to the other. Temporary grievances
must be promptly and sincerely aired
and adjusted in good faith. Close con-
tact must be maintained. The relation
ship must be that of an alliance, not Q
combat.
These principles are recognized in
America today. That they have not
been in the past should not lead the
E'enory Of old grievances to result in
la suicidal spirit Of revenge. For ex.
rerienee and logic and horse sense as
sure the fact that by committing
uxoricide upon capital labor would be-
come an inadvertent suicide. It has
been said truly that poverty can never
be abolished by division, but only by
multiplication.
A group of honest men, seated to-
gcther in earnest endeavor to solve the
industrial problems of our age, saying
to each other, eve are each essential
to the other; how may we work this
QUIT" would find their task happily
simple one. The end in view would be
practically attained upon the gripping
of hands between respective delegates.

POLITICS AT HOME
The Leading Democratic Booms.

ASSssAA~A$9 ~SSeseSs
With Mr.. Wilson "out Of it"-specu.
lation occasionally takes that form
Champ, Clark and former Secretary Ne
Adoo are regarded as the likeliest men
considered in connection with next
years democratic nomination for the
presidency. The popular prediction is,
indeed, that, if Mr.. Wilson refuses to
stand, those, two men will grapple in
what may develop into the most stir,
ring contest ever waged for such an
honor. "
Mr.. Clark is the Older, botir in years
and as a political quantity. He has
been a national figure for a score of
years, and factor in presidential cal
,ulation for almost half that time. At
Baltimore, six years ago, he was 1t the
start easily the foremost entrant, and
lost the race in an eyelash finish, and
under a ruling that was vigorously pro-
tested by his friends.
At that time Mr.. McAdoo was un.
known to the country at large, and but
little known in political circles at
home. He was simply one of. the New
Workers eager for the nomination of
Mr.. Wilson, and in attendance at the
national convention in Mr.. Wilson s
behalf. Mr.. Wilson's nomination gave
him his chance at campaign work, and
Mr.. Wilson's election brought him his
reward. He served for nearly six years
as Secretary of the Treasury, and re
tired with considerable prestige in the
political world. I'm. -
An interesting question under dis
cussion is, if this contest takes place,
will the President throw support open
ly and fully to his ,sontin -lawf Sym.
pathy would be excused, because it
would be entirely natural. But, it is
asked, might not an aggressive show of
that feeling be resented, and inure to
Mr.. Gark's benefit Might not many
democrats decide that, after accepting
both of. Mr.. Wilson's nominations with
a good grace and assisting in both of
his elections, Mr.. Clark was entitled to
chance. without Mr.. Wilson's inter
ferences ,.. -.
Mr.. McAdoo is classed as New
Yorker, and must have that states in
dorsement if he is to appear promi-
nently- in the next democratic national
convention. As yet, the, state has made
no sign in his or anybody else's favor.
Gov. Smith is RIO longer even.suggested.
Mr.. Clark: it is supposed, is terrain
of the support of Missouri, and at Bal
timore in 1912 he had the support of
Tammany. Indeed, it was that support
which cost him the nomination on that
occasion. Is Tamnany still well dis
posed toward him! And has he other
support in the east now which he lack

ton for the minority leadership Of the
House, he still has strength in many

Perhaps not one person in a thou

Influenza and tuberculosis are what
the Zoo authorities are afraid Of
Chimpanzees are very delicately Or

to lung diseases under captivity. The
combined breathing of scores of peo-
pie in front of his cage every day
would be as much Of a menace to him
as a gas attack was to the men in the
trenches on the western front.
II the authorities had put a gas

All tho same. the next time you visit

lures, Remember that if you are
protected from Jimmie, Jimmie is pro-
tected from you.

which the beasts will have more,
breathing space than indoors.
Now, nobody has q corner in his
heart for a hyena, yet there are very

to let them outdoors. No doubt II
