Government Chain Stores.

Establishment Of government
chain Of stores for the sale of sur
plus Army supplies is now proposed as
an additional means of securing relief
from the pressure Of high prices for
necessities Of life. These stores are to
be opened in fourteen cities, 30 located
as to form centers of distribution
through the mails. Goods are to be
sold over the counter and by parcel
post az well. at prices which will place
the government directly into competi-
ton with private distributors, to the
disadvantage Of the latter.
This expedient will, to the extent Of
thu supply of Army goods, serve to
lower prices at least temporarily in
those lines that are covered by the

The District Building Changes

In selecting Maj. Donovan to be
auditor to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mr.. Tweedale and
the choice of Mr.. Garges to succeed
him as secretary the Commissioners
have demonstrated the fact that an
organization of efficiency and flexibil-
ity has been developed at the District
building. making for excellent admin
istration. The new auditor has been a
member of the municipal government
force for a long time and is thoroughly
familiar with the details of the work
in every department. AS secretary to
the board he has proved capacity for
grasping details while comprehending
the fundamental principles of the
work. It was fortunate that he was
available for the special duty Of con-
Quoting the local selective draft organ
ization, which was conducted with re-
markable smoothness and efficiency.
His promotion is not only well de-
served, but it is an assurance that the
auditing work, which is so vital to the
proper conduct Of the Districts bust
ness, will be carried on satisfactorily.
Mr.. Garges has similar record of
long and efficient service in the local
government, and has proved himself
at all times capable of adjusting to
changing conditions and will doubtless
adapt himself to the new duties of the
secretaryship with capacity. His pro-
motion is based on merit and the Com
missioners are to be congratulated
upon the fact that in the emergency
caused by Mr.. Tweedale's regrettable
departure for . higher post under the
government the work at the District
building can be continued with no loss
of efficiency or dependability.

manent in effects or very far-reaehing.
1t cannot naturally go beyond the
scope of the Army supply lines, and it
cannot last for long period, for vast
as it is the governments store Of food
stuffs and other goods accumulated for
Army use will soon be exhausted by
cost distribution at fourteen active
centers.
More production is urgently re-
quired. The law of supply and de-
mand must operate. The outflow of
foodstuffs to Europe must be checked
to restore the balance in this country,
or the gross production must be in
creased. The costs of production must
be lowered to effect broad reform in
the economic situation.
Viewed as one of the agencies en-
ployed by the government to bring
about the reduction in the cost of liv-
ing, this plan of direct cost-selling to
the people is certain to be helpful, both
in the immediate benefits of lower,
price buying of this stock, and in the
influence it will have upon the trade
N general. With prosecutions OF
hoarders and price fxers and unmis-
taxable profteers accompanying this
procedure, and with check upon the
wage increases demanded by large
bodies of workers on the plea of high
living cost, material advance must be
made toward a return to normal price
levels in all lines of necessities.

The House Caucus.

At their caucus last night the re-
publicans of the House agreed that
some very important business Of a
pressing nature awaits the attention
of Congress, and should be transacted
at the present session. The railroad
question and the merchant marine
question were among the questions re-
ferred to.
For the moment the railroad ques-
ton tops all others. and should re-
ceive as early attention by Congress
as possible. 1t may be that the exist
ing unsatisfactory status of the rail
roads is contributing to the turmoil
in the railroad world. which is threat
ening to paralyze railroad transpor-
tation throughout the country. While
the government is in control of the
properties, their early return to the
owners is forecast, and present dis
cussion plays around the terms of the
restoration. AS the terms are to be
fixed by Congress, the sooner they are
fixed the better. Then, both the pub
lie and the railroad employees will know
where they stand.
Transportation by sea follows hard

in that line of business activity An
early decision is desired, because the
movement to secure increased foreign
trade is under way, and its success de-
ponds upon the settlement of the mer'
chant marine question. If we are to
have a chance as against England and
Japan-both with merchant fleets of
large size and the latest equipment
we must have a definite sea carrying
policy and adhere to it.

the caucus, advised q better attend

and unity Of action ON the part Of the
majority. His followers should weigh
his words well. The point of no
quorum whenever raised is . reflection
on the party responsible for legisla-
ton. Its members in sufficient num-
bers should be in their places at all
roll calls, so that no defeats or delays
may occur.
And, of course, the majority to re-
main the majority must stand together
when final votes are called. All diff.
ferences should be settled in private.
Differences there will be; and when
well managed they are a source Of
help and strength. But to handle them
in public, in the face of the common
opposition. is to give aid and comfort
to the opposition, and thus invite dis
aster. Tall rows from little differ
ences may grow, as the histories Of
both parties abundantly show.
