The Zone Fare Plan.

Intimation is given through ques-
tions asked at yesterdays hearing on
the street railway fare matter that the
members Of the Public Utilities Com
5 mission are now favorable to q zone
system, which few months ago was
rejected by them. President Ham Of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company was requested to prepare q
plan for such system Of charges. It
. is possible, therefore, that the COM
mission may adopt this method Of
solving the problem Of providing suf-
fcient revenue for the Washington
Railway and Electric lines to permit
their operation without further loss.
A straight advance of fare would
affect all the lines and both systems.
One. Of the two systems is not in need
Of additional revenue. To raise the
fare generally throughout the District
would add materially to the income
Of one company and swell its profits,
possibly lead to wage-inerease demands.
In turn such wage-inerease demands
would necessarily affect both systems,
for there cannot be two scales of pay,
any mere than there can be two rates
of fare for similar service.
"a, In this dilemma the commission not
-unnaturally turns again to the zone
plan, which, with all its disadvantages,
is nevertheless free from the objection
of working unequally as between the
two -systems and reacting unfavorably
upon the community at large in the
perpethatien Of the process Of wage
raises and fare-advances succeeding in
unending sequence.
The argument against the zone plan
is sound, that it puts q burden upon
the suburban dweller who was induced
to mako bis home in the outlying sse-
tions dcn the. score Of cheap tsnapof-,
tation, and that it tends to depfeeiate.
property values in that field. It dis.
'courages suburban development and
makes for urban congestion.
Nevertheless. there is q counter ar,
.eument IN favor Of the principle Of
makiHgs the fare At the service ron
dered- ). Mileage fares are charged in
some other cities. regardless Of dis-
tinctioas between urban and suburban
Areas. Under the fat-rate plan the
'shoft.h haul rider pays for the transpor-
tation Of the long haul rider. Thus
the urban dweller is helping to trans
port the suburbanite by contribution
in cash.
/, Whatsoever the equities-and it is to
be admitted that they eonfiict-the
fact remains that the zone fare sys-
tenn has the commanding advantage
that II. solves the present problem Of
revenue provision without preeipitst-
ing other problems of equal difficulty.
It may be that it win prove the best
solution after all. II the principle
10 adopted its application should be
most carefully worked out to reduce
to q minimum the injustice to those
who have gone into the suburbs to live
on the strength of an assurance Of
cheap transportation.

A. War Cloud in the Adriatic.

Of war in the Adriatic is caused BY
D'Annunzio's unauthorized seizure Of
Nume in the name Of Italy and by
mutinous expedition Of Italian soldiers
into territory in Dalmatia held by
Jugoslavs. In both cases there is
lack Of official. sanction for the ex-
curSons, but both Of them are In ex-
preston Of the italian peoples wish to
become masters Of the entire eastern
shore Of the Adriatic. The government
at Rome appears to be helpless against
what it denominates a. mutinous patri.
otism. Intimations have been con-
veyed that action by the allied forces
for the custer of D'Annunzio from
Fiume would be welcome. Such ac-
tion, however, is not likely to be or
+dered unless the Italian government
distinctly acknowledges its impotence
to deal with its own troops.
IF Italian soldiers continue TO force
their way into the areas Of dispute,
pending the final settlement, the Jugo-
slavs cannot be blamed If they take
up arms against them. Under the
treaty Of London, which brought Italy
into the great war, Finme was excluded
from the areas given to her and was
awarded to the Croatians. Certain
parts Of the Dalmatian coast were as
signed to Italy. At Paris Italy pre-
scented ciaims to both Fiume and Dali
-matia. though there was no basis in
the secret treaty for the, former claim,
which was based upon the principle Of
self dissemination. President Wilson
held out firmly against the allotment
of that city to Italy, ON the principle
that IL the treaty Of London. were to
govern Il should bo strictly applied,
whereas If the principle Of self deter
mizstion' governed it'should apply also
10 other parts Of the Adriatic area.
"A conflict between Italy and Jugo-
slavia would be disaster which might
have farreaehins results. It is shock
ing to contemplate such q possibility,
in view, Of the fact that the war was
fought to q finish IN order; Il was
hoped, that permanent settlements
would follow to assure peace in the
center Of trouble. IF, however, such
q conflict were to arise Italy would
have q decided advantage. Jugoslavia,
terribly weakened by the great war
and not yet well organized in union
Of the heretofore separated states.
would have but little chance Of sue.
cess.
Domestic politics doubtless plays .
large part in these italian maneuvers.
There is decided strain, OF radical
ism now in evidence in Italy. The
ministry is none too secure in position.
D,Annunxio is . popular character, and
his action has brought him to the
front as . hero Of the people. Italy
faces today the possibility Of . revo-
luton or an unjust war against new
nation comprised chiefly Of former al
lies and in part Of former enemies.

MUCH Difference IN HUM0R
Brand Highly Thought OF in One Coun.
try Is Not Always Appreciated
In Others.

When Coleridge said, mo mind Is
thoroughly well organized that is de-
ficient in the sense of humor," he ex-
pressed q conviction that seems COM
mon to all civilized men, and makes
each nation take pride in it's humor
and perhaps suspect that other nations
enjoy q somewhat inferior brand. Yet
comparisons Of humor shows, broadly
speaking that the peoples of the world
are much alike. In the Tourist, pub
lished In Tokyo, japanese author, for
example. remarks that humor sis In
deed the flower Of life, and life With
out 1t would be as dreary as spring
without its blossoms. To illustrate, he
translates q number of japanese anec-
dotes, funny Stories" as the United
States might call them, but one does
not smile over them. Neither, on Sec
ond thought, does one smile over many
of the funny stories" in American
magazines and newspapers. Humor
which really amuses Is everywhere
rare and precious, flower of life,"
as the Japanese gentleman POLITICALLY
puts it, but growing up in company
with q great many weeds.-Christian
Science Monitor.
