The Congressional Record.

Again there is discussion of the
Congressional Record. This time, how
ever, the discussion is not of jocular
or deprecatory character.
Poking fun at the Record is familiar
employment. Various charges have
been brought against the publication.
One. that it is heavy, and, therefore,
but little read Another, that it is re-
sponsible for much longwindedness
In legislators: that it incites to speech
making and protracted debating. An
other-growing, of course. out of the
two mentioned-thatit is a sheer waste
of valuable white paper
These charges have often when no
ticed been rerured. The accord mas
never been heavy, or neglected. Seri
Gus minded people have always found
matter of interest in it. Senators and
representatives have never required
any other encouragement to talk than
the business attaching to their com
missions. They are sent to Congress
to discuss public questions presented
TO that body, and, of course, would do
so if not a word of their discourses
were printed. without pretty full dis
cussion they could not vote intelli-
gently on any proposition. Therefore,
the Record has never been a waste Of
valuable white paper.
This time the talk is in a different
key. Predictions are made that the
Record is on the eve of achieving a
large circulation. Senators and rep
resentatives are, it is said, receiving
numerous requests for copies. Thei5

Merger Demanded.

Consolidation of the subsidiary lines
with the Washington Railway and
Electric system is proposed by the
Federation of Citizens sociations as
remedy for the conditions that now
apparently compel ito P2-crt com
panies to ask for an increase of fare
and the abolition of transfers between
the lines. Undoubtedly there should
be an integral unity between these
parts of the system. Whether this can
be effected without legislation now,
however, is question. Assuredly the
situation Of the subsidiary lines is
anomalous. They are and have been
for years an identical portion of the
system. The people have been led to
believe that the service rendered
through this union was permanent.
They have built houses on the subur-
ban lines on the strength of that con-
dition. Probably to q majority of the
users of these lines it now comes as
surprise to learn that they are not
identical parts Of the main system
These conditions have created equi-
ties on the part Of the public that can

not be now destroyed because through
bad management in the present or bad
financing in the past these companies
are now in straits
A statement appears today in The
Star showing the relations between the
subsidiary units and the Washington
Railway and Electric Company. The
parent company owns all the bonds of
the Georgetown and Tenleytown line
and ;,259 of the 1000 shares of the
stock. The Washington Railway and
Electric Company also owns 1858
shares of the $4,000 shares of the City
and Suburban railway, but has no bond
holdings. The Georgetown and Ten
leytown Company has never paid divi-
bends. The City and Suburban Com
pany has paid three dividends IN
thirty-one years. totaling 10 per cent.
In the one case the Washington Rall-
way and Electric Company owns over
~ per cent of stock, and IN the other
more than 90 per cent. There is no
evidence that it has ever endeavored
to secure complete ownership. which
will give it complete responsibility and
control Yet the two subsidiary com
panieS have. as stated, always been
handled as though owned outright. and
the public has had the use of the lines
on that basis. The privately owned
20 and 4 per cent. respectively, cannot.
of course, be arbitrarily eXtinguished.
Yet some remedy for this anomalous
situation is obviously necessary, and
the appeal of the Citizens Associations
to Congress for consolidation of the
lines is perhaps the only way out of
the difficulty.

Half-and-Half Repeal.

The bill to repeal the half and half
provision of the organic act, just in
PRODUCED in the House, is similar in
all but one particular to the provision
sought to be carried into law by way
of the appropriation bill. 1t does not
manifest any particular study of Dis
trict conditions. 1t is an expression in
legislative form of the proposal here
tofore made by opponents of the half
and half system as budget bill rider.
In one respect the Mapcs bill differs
from the rider" The latter stipu
lated that the amount of money to be
paid from the Treasury in supplement
of the District revenues should in no
event be as much as one half of the
total. The Mapes bill states no such
limitation and thus it would be pos
sible under its provisions for the fed
eral Treasury to bear half the cost of
District maintenance, or even more.
1t was the hope of the District that
Congress, in taking up this matter,
would regard it as a revision of the
organic act of 1873, and not merely
repeal of one feature without definite
substitution for the system that has
worked satisfactorily and equitably for
more than forty years. 1t is still the
hope of the District that this will be
done. and that in the framing of the
new law there will be no undue haste
and no insistence upon a preconceived
plan of repeal alone.
Hearings have been asked by the
joint citizens committee. 1t is ex-
pected that they will be granted. And
it is to be hoped that they will be
real hearings and not merely perfume
tory sessions. The case of the Dis
trict was stated before the joint Sc
lect committee so convincingly that
that committee rendered a report on
the strength of which the half and
half principle was continued un-
changed for several years. 1t is ca
pable of statement now, with figures
brought up to date, in a way to DEM
onstrate that the unaided revenues of
the District are not adequate for
proper capital maintenance, that
fixed ratio of cost division is neces
sary for the proper upkeep and ade-
quate development of the capital mu
nicipality and that under the half and
half system taxation in Washington
is not and has not been unduly low,
but, on the contrary, has been high

The Treaty Submitted.

President Wilson in his address to
the Senate yesterday offered no new
facts. presented no new aspect of the
treaty, adduced no new arguments in
his statement of the case. constitut-
ing as it did the first official announce
ment to the ratifying body of the
completion of the treaty with its pro-
visions for an international Organi-
zation to maintain peace, was strong
and persuasive. 1t was on a high
plane of dignity and simple urgency.
He spoke as though he was restraining
himself to an outline of the situation
yet not withholding material consid-
erations affecting the treatment of the
matter by the Senate.
There will. of course, be differing
opinions as to the force of the Presi-
dents address. Those who are OPP
posed to the league of nations will see
in it nothing sufficient to induce them
to abandon their view. Those who
favor the league will see in it the
strongest of reasons for the adoption
of the treaty as it stands without
amendment or reservation. 1t cannot
at this time be viewed as having con-
WINGED any senator to change his views.
That probably was not the purpose of
the President in addressing the Sen
ate. If he expects to effect such a
change it will doubtless be by direct
reasoning. He announces that he is
Eat the service" of the Senate. That
means that he will consult freely with
members of the ratifying house of
Congress. Consultation will embrace
argument.
The substance of the Presidents state
ment yesterday is that the United States
is pledged to the maintenance of peace
and that the provisions for peace
keeping are inseparably part of the
pact of peace. In defining the terms
imposed upon Germany the confer
ence at Paris found it necessary to
provide means for insuring fidelity
Of performance. The league of ma
tions was that device, created by the
conference to the end that war should
become less possible and that safe
guards should be thrown around HUI
manity against the scourge of conflict
inspired by selfshness and greed.
1t is noteworthy that the President
did not engage in discussion of the
possibility of amendments or reserva-
tions by the Senate. He placed the
treaty on the table and said: 'Here
is the result of our labors at Paris.

for the present. but for future peace;

CHA BOWMAN AND SON SHOT BY RANCHER AFTER
 QUARREL ABOUT RANGE

Globe, Sept. 17.-John Bowman and his son Louis Bowman, were shot dur ing quarrel over a cattle range m Gordon canyon Sunday afte moon.
 The Bowmans, Fred Armar and Joe Zacharee were riding their range last Sunday, according to the report of the officers, who investigated the shoot ing. when they were accosted by Tom Hubbard. In the argument which followed, Hubbard, it is alleged drew a six shooter and fired three shots.
 One bullet hit John Bowman in the side and the third narrowly missed Fred Armer's head. Hubbard rode to Roosevelt after the shooting and gave himself up to the constable.

B|G ELK HUNT HAS BEEN POSTPONED
 BY GAME WARDEN

There will be great disappointment among the nimrods and nimroddesses of Arizona in consequence of the call ing off of the great elk hunt, which had been planned in tlfe Sitgreaves national forest, to begin on October IT and continue to the end of the month. It had been arranged that 200 permits or licenses would be granted by State Game Warden Joe V. Pro chaska. They would be issued by lot
 Many applications had been receiv- ed accompanied by the license fees, which for persons living outside the state is $40. All this money will be returned to the applicants It is barely possible that a hunt will be arranged after the mating season is over, but it is more likely that the hunt will be postponed until next year
 The chief reason for the postpone ment now is that it has been so stormy . in the forest, officials have been un- able to do the necessary posting; that is. defining the limits beyond which hunting might not be done and for establishing hunting bases, and camps so that the hunters might be safe iron the high powered rifles of one another.
 There was to b, no hunting in 2 tract known as the "eks sanctuary :, a tract in the fores5 bounded on the east by Willow Creek rs O rough circumfer anco of ahcut SS miles. Tho rams n thac wild region have been -o nearly continuous that the foresters have beeen unable to get about even on horseback, on account of the swollen streams.
 Moreover, word had lately reached the office of the state game warden that the elk which have been roam ing in the eastern part of the forest have been drifting back toward the sanctuary so that by the time the hunters would have arrived on the ground, there would probably be none outside the sanctuary. It is estimat- ed that there are now about 900 elk in the forest.
 But at any rate there will be great deal of hunting in Arizona next month. The game will be turkey, deer, noun tain lion, bear and wolves. The state game warden's office has been notified of the coming of several large parties from without the state. One of them headed by Zane Gray, the novelist, who has sps.ir ".yt u ,,me in northern Arizona. will hunt several weeks in the Sierra Anchas. Fred Harvey IT,, x,,;t1, O ,,a,tv of ciH friends will hunt in what is known as ''Haught's Thick et'', a wild region in the eastern part of the state Bob Taught is now engaged in taking in supplies and es- tablishing a camp. Another large hunting party is coming from Los An geles and it is said that F. A. Gillespie will bring in several friends to prove to them that Arzona is the real and only hunting ground left in America.

TUCSON MERCHANTS
 ON THE CARPET
State Food Administrator Orders One Wholesaler and Six Retailers To Reduce Prices.

Phoenix, September 10.-T. A. Rior- dan, federal food administrator for Arizona has ordered one wholesaler and six retailers in food commodities in Tucson to reduce their prices on certain food commodities including flour and meat so as to conform with the federal war time regulations on profit taking.
 The orders were issued as a re- suit of an investigation just completed by Kirk T. Moore, county attorney for Pima county. The wholesaler was found to be taking a retailers profit of $1.2O per barrel on flour, whereas the maximum permitted to wholesalers is but 70 oents A vara- tion of 15 cents per pound on certain cuts of meat was found among Tucson dealers. The merchants affected by the order were warned that if further violations were discovered prosecu- tions would result and licenses would be revoked Pima county is the first county in Arizona to successfully car " out a campaign against profiteeer- ing. No evidences of boarding were discovered but the investigators characterized as fragrant the viola tions of the profit margins.
