sssond bears the promise Of the United States government

prescribed rate from year to year until maturity. The
I,eople who loaned that money did so with the expecta-
Ion and the desire to get it back. They gave freely to
~,atriotic causes. They submitted cheerfully to the heav-
est taxation that they had ever known. They ala not
expect a return of their donations Of their taxes. But

Ia that.
Americans have given outright millions upon mil

money for this purpose was a legitimate investment. and

hey have loaned it. They are hondholders, as they have
right to be. They are interested in the perpetuity and

MEMORlALPLANS

The objects Of the Roosevelt Memorial Association,
to be carried out with the cooperation of its members
and with the funds subscribed by them. were stated by
the Hon. Elihu Root, member Of the natioua, executive
committee Of the association. as follows:
THE purposes to which the money obtained from
membership fees and subscriptions Is to be applied have
been definitely determined by the national committee of
the Roosevelt Memorial Association. The committee re-
solved upon three definite objects. They are:
First. to improve the land that has been given at
Oyster Bay for a Roosevelt Memorial Park.
Second. to erect a monumental memorial in Wash
inston which will rank with the Washington monument
and the Lincoln memorial. The form which this memoir
!al viii take cannot be now determined: this must rest
largely with the architects and %sculptors, who will be call.
ed upon to design the most appropriate and dignifted
monument that can be built and with the National Pine
Arts Commission that under the law must approve/the de-
sign and determine its site.
Third. the establishment of a Roosevelt Society or
Foundation to carry on Colonel Roosevelt's spirit Of
Anaertcantsm and perpetuate and keep alive the uncou-
promising patriotism OF which he was 20 essentially the
exponent"

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS

The elementary school histories naturally cannot do
nueh more than touch the high spots Of our national
re. and, whether from design or because Of the necess1.
lee of the case. these books have succeeded in creating
fairly well defined impression that the men who par
sIcipated In the actual work OF framing our national gov
5rnnnent were a set Of demigods, perfect and infallib,e.
md that the masses Of the people whom they led were
d their vision Of the future, sound In their Judgment
.f the present, animated by neither passion nor pretu-
stce~ but solely by the high ideals Of that spirit which
SSke have come to call Anericanism.
He who has derived his knowledge Of the develop
snent of this nation from these elementary studies is like
n 70 pc shocked when brought face to face with some
ING the actual facts. The records of the debates which
sttended the adoption of the American constitution are
m OF evidence that passion. self interest, and the desire
Arg local advantage were by no means absent from that
ltstoric gathering, and the fact that, after all, those de-
n~erattons resulted in tho framing Of a document whose
supsriortty stands unchallenged after the lapse Of more
han e century and a quarter adds immeasurably to the
astre Of the fame Of the great leaders in that body. and
Il evidence OF the marvellous patience, potse and natri-
S4ts1n which animated them.
But the controversy Of those times was not ali with

CITIZENS MEET TONIGHT
TO DISCUSS W. R. & E.
Suburban Residents Will Present
Arguments Opposing the
Zones Fares.

With suburban citizens associations
and residents of outlying sections
lined up solidly against zone fares,
Washingtonians will meet at the Dis
trict building tonight to try. to find a
solution Of the financial difficulties of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company.
Many associations have written to
the Public Utilities Commission. de-
cisring that to saddle the increased
cost Of street car service on sub
urbanites not only would amount to
unjust Discriminate but would Grip
pie the city's growth.
Residents in the central section of
tho city have taken the position that
zone fares are just, because they rep
resent payment for services rendered.
Tonight's meeting. to be held under
the auspices Of the. Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, is expected to de-
velop sharp differences Of opinion az
between the two classes of taxpayers
holding these views.
President Westlake of the fedora
tion has invited, esDecially. the Cham
Der OF Commerce. Board of Trade and
Merchants and Manufactured AsSo-
citation to send delegates to tonight's
meeting. All citizens associations
and other civic bodies in the District
interested in street car service are
expected to be represented.

TRAFFIC MEETING
FOR PUBLIC MAY I
To Discuss Requiring install
Iation of Tracks in B Street
by Traction Company.
AID WILL BE Permanent

Planned as the first step in the de-
velopment OF street railway transpor-
tation facilities in the Capital on
scale adequate to meet present and
future needs, the District public utili-
tiee commission has called public
hearing for ay Z to consider requiring
the Capital Traction Company to in
stall tracks in B street from 9th street
to Potomac Park, in the vicinity Of
18th street northwest.
The proposed extension is part of
the so-called Bee'er belt line, advo-
Gated by John A. Beeler and seriouely
considered by the commission and the
Housing Corporation as a means of
relieving wartime traffic congestion
in Washington. 1t is now put for
ward by the commission for perma-
nently providing increa.ed transpor-
tation facilities for the offices of the
federal government in Potomac Park.
No Plan Agreed Upon.
said today that while the need of
other extensions has been consid-
cred the commission has not agreed

ing congestion. The present recon-

will be valuable under any future

1t is considered practically certain,
however, that the hearing ordered
by the commission will open up gen.
orally the question of needed exten
sions, particularly the need of a
north and south line for relieving
congestion.
John H. Hanna, vice president and
general manager of the Capital Traction
Company. said today that the company
would attend the hearing prepared to
outline its policies generally as to future
extensions

Await Permanent Traffic.

The commission evidently intends that
the suggested B street line shall be
financed through the floating Of bonds
by the Capital Traction Company. 1t
Is presumed that there will be de-
termination OF. how many government
buildings in Potomac Bark are to be
permanently maintained before the COM
pany is ordered to undertake the i'm
provement.
There is no likelihood, it 10 believed,
Of the extension being ordered with
sout there being assurance Of q per-
manency Of tranic in Potomac Park
that would make tho line a paying
one.
While it is proposed that the Capt.
tai Traction Company shall finance
the line. the commission will give
consideration at the hearing to the
question Of requiring the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
to permit the Capital Traction Conn
pany to use it's existing tracks on
B street, between 7th and 9th streets.
Also it will consider requiring the
Capital Traction Company to permit
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company to use tho proposed
tracks on B street.
