Berger's Conviction.

Victor Berger, epresentative-elect
from Milwaukee and convicted under
the espionage act of conspiracy to
cause characterization, disloyalty and
refusal of duty among the naval and
military forces and with interfering
with the recruiting service and the en-
forcement of the selective draft law,
now declares that if his seat in Con-
gress is denied him and new election
is ordered he Will run again, and he
asserts that he viii be elected. Berger's
conviction serves as substantial ground
for refusing to allow him to take his
seat, even though he has asked for a
new trial. and if thai is not granted
will appeal his present conviction to a
higher court. But tlsa present House
Of Representatives has no jurisdiction
III the matter and the case cannot come
up for decision in that body until the
new Congress is convened. 1t an ex-
ira session is called this spring Berger
may be excluded from Congress before
his appeal is heard. If no extra ses-
sion is called the matter will go over
until next December. While this is
not 4 reason for holdi ng an extra SEES
sion, it is to be hope that an early
opportunity will be afforded for action
by the House, so that f special cleo
ton is called in Wisconsin to fill the
vacancy speedy test an be had as to
the attitude of the voters of that dis
trict upon the question of sending to
Congress a man who st auds convicted
of disioyalty.

To Equalize Government Pay.

A practical move toward a revision
of the government pay roll is made by
the provision in the new Legislative
appropriation bill reported today ere
ating joint commission of five sena-
tors and five members of the House
to investigate the rates of compensa-
tion paid to civilian employees of the
government and the District in this
District except the navy yard and the
postal service. This commission is to
investigate the whole matter of COM
pensation and to report "as soon as
practicable what reclassifcation and
readjustment of compensation should
be made so as to provide uniform and
equitable pay for the same character
of employment throughout the District
of Columbia"
Such an inquiry should long ago
have been conducted and should have
resulted in legislation. In the matter
of inequalities alone there is the most
urgent need of revision. Persons en-
gagged on the same kind of work in
different bureaus and departments are
paid at different rates. There is no
uniformity of scale save the old CLASH
fcation schedule of pay, which has
come to mean nothing as regards the
nature of the duties performed, or the
length of service or the degree of ex-
perience.
Apart, however, from mere uni
formity there is most distinct need
OF pay scale readjustment to bring
tac governments schedule of compen-
cations up to the standard prevailing
IN private employments. Disregard
ing the rates adopted in the war
. emergency for temporary workers,

Public Building Sites.

For many years project has been
under consideration in Congress for
the purchase of all the land not now
owned by the government lying be
tween the Mall and Pennsylvania ave
nue. for the purpose of providing sites
for public buildings This necessity
has long been apparent. The govern
mcnt has needed building sites ur-
gently. The area in question has been
virtually pre-empted for that use, to
the utter Encouragement of private
improvements within the area. Con-
sequeutly Pennsylvania avenue, the
principal thoroughfare of the capital,
has been retarded in its development.
Now bill has been introduced in
The House by Representative Clark,
chairman of the committee ON public
buildings and grounds, TO provide for
the taking of all of these grounds and
part of one of the squares on the north
side Of the Avenue for public Office
sites. The lands arc to be acquired
and paid for at the rate of $500 900
a year. The present valuation of these
lands is estimated at about $l3 900 900,
so that acquisition and payment at the
rate named would carry the transac
ton over fully twenty-six years,
with the result of a steady increase
in value for the remainder not
acquired. 1t would be better as
business proposition for the govern
ment to buy the property as whole at
once and use it unit by unit as needed,
meanwhile deriving rental income from
the parts not utilized IT has been
doing this for several years with the
''fve-s square, site at the western end
OF the triangle, only recently using
parts of the space and some of the
buildings for its emergency war work.
The inclusion in the Mall-Avenue
land purchase plan of portion of
one of the squares north of the Avenue
is a departure from the original
project to widen the reservation
west of the Capitol and to permit the
extension of B street, now interrupted.
The governments experience in the
matter of building accommodations
during the war emergency leaves no
doubt of the need of early action on
this bill Inadequately equipped be-
fore the war, and compelled to rent
many buildings for the housing of
its bureaus, its entrance into the hos
tilities made it necessary to take over
scores of other structures. even apart
ment houses-greatly to the discom-
moding of the congested population of
Westinghouse an enormous expense.
1t hastily built temporary" quarters
in the parks at cost great enough
to have paid for a large part of the
Mall Avenue triangle. Permanent
buildings to replace these rented and
temporary structures are urgently
needed, and it is matter of the plain
est business precaution now to provide
for the emplacement of buildings that
will assurediy be required in the near
future

which were higher than those paid the

which were higher than those PAID the
permanent government staff, the whole
system of departmental clerical com
pensation is low. and it has caused
acute distress on the part of the gov
crnment's permanent force.
For more than fifty years the depart
mental pay scale has stood, while the
cost of living has risen and while the
pay scales in private employments
have advanced greatly. Save for the
bonuses paid during the past two fiscal
years and continued with some modi-
tication in the present legislative bill
there have been no advances, and save
for promotions within the system,
which have been irregular and unsys-
ccmatic. the government workers are
today worse off than they we've ten
years ago.
The hope is that this inquiry by
JOINT commission will be promptly con-
Quoted and that its recommendations
will be speedily followed by legisla-
ton. The subject should not require
50 extended an investigation as to pre-
vent action in season for the fiscal
year of 19a0-21.

Conduit System Not to Blame.

Traffic Expert Beeler yesterday at
the transfer hearing before the Public
Utilities Commission declared that the
underground electric system of trans
portation was more subject to de-
rangement than the overhead, and at
tributed the greater part of the de-
lays in the service to this cause. Wash
ington has long been proud of its i'm
munity from the evils of the overhead
trolley and is not willing to consider
the possibility of the adoption of that
dangerous and disfguring system of
How that because ears operated through
couduits are continually breaking down

incompetent operation are more to
blame for the delays than the fact that
the current is drawn from conduit
through pillow connections. 1t is notori-
Gus that the equipment and the opera
ton on one of the two local lines are
superior to those on the other, and
that the service on the former line is
much more dependable. Flows pull
from their hangers, or burn out, or
cars get "stuck" in ut-outs chiefly be-
cause they are not kept in proper con-
dition or are not properly handled

The Railroad Inquiry,

The public. is getting a line at last
on the gravity, the Importance and the
difficulty of the railroad problem.
What is the solution? Who may say
at this time7 How may Congress be
expected TO solve ii off-hand
The President has confessed to Con
gress he has no solution. And Is not
that about the substance of Director
General McAdoo's request for an cN-
tension of government control. And
yet they have spoken after eighteen
months intimate experience Of what
government control means.
1t is urged that Congress do some
thing, and do it now. But what? Like
the President and the director general,
Congress has no solution of the prob
lem. 1t is just beginning an inquiry
into what the problem embraces. The
director general has testified. The
Interstate Commerce Commission is
testifying The railroads themselves
are to be heard. But viii Congress
be ready and able even then to solve
the matters
It may be mentioned, and it is worth
considering. that the people have never
passed on this question at the polls.
The future of the railroads did not
sway the country at the November
elections. The terms upon which the
government was then in control and
the reasons for the control were
known, and in a way approved, but
that was all. As yet. therefore, no
popular mandate has been issued on
the subject. The peoples wishes are
unknown.
As all are aware, the advocates of
government ownership and operation
Of railroads are hoping for the ad
ysneement of that policy in some way
through the present government con-
troll They would prefer immediate
&CtlOA tie IUI
the properties. But, failing that-and
the policy is not possible now-they
would be satisfied for the time with an
extension of government control, be-
ieving that the longer control con-
Times the more favorable will be the
effect ultimately On ownership and OPP
Grafton.
The majority leaders in Congress are
considering conservation of time for
the remainder of the session. There
10 none to spare. The supply bills
have the call. Hence, should so i'm
portant and difficult question as this
railroad question be brought forward
for action, and be accorded the dis
,cussion reasonably its due, the pro-
gram would be thrown out of plumb.
AZ the law stands, government control
continues for twenty one months after
peace has been signed.

but it is nevertheless true that block
AIDES occur in fair weather, in warm
weather, in cold and dry weather alike,
and the cause must be sought beyond
the climatic. influences. Give good
equipment and good operation and the
underground method of transmitting
current to street ears is as rule as
dependable and satisfactory in point
of service as the other. And in any
case it is infinitely safer. The respon-
sibility for the poor service that has
been rendered in Washington during
the past few months cannot be laid
upon the conduit plan.
