TOASK SEPARATE
UTILITIES BOARD

At a meeting IN the District Build
ing last night the Federation OF Citi-
zens' Associations decided to request
the creation Of a Public Utilities
Commission for the District separate
from the Board OF Commissioners.
The action was the direct result OF
the adoption Of a report submitted BY
Charles s. shreve, chairman OF the
committee on law and legislation.
The report stated that the Commits
sioners' time was wholely taken up
by their duties, and that a separate
commission should exist that could
devote its entire time TO handling
utility affairs. It suggested that the
President appoint a utilities commits
sion consisting Of three members to
hold office for three years. They must
hold no other office and must have
been bona fide residents Of the Dis
trict for the three years Immediately
preceding their appointment.
Snowden Ashford's suggestion that
the committee on education report on
all legislation affecting the District
public school system was adopted.
". NICK. Clayton, chairman Of the
public utilities committee, blamed
both traction companies for the pres
ent situation and said that the testi-
mOny submitted to his committee
against the zone fare system was
complete and convincing.
The drive for new members, led by
Jesse Suter, has succeeded in enroll
ing fifteen organizations. On motion
Of Mr.. Clayton the entire attendance
arose in expression OF sympathy for
the Presidents illness and a hope for
his speedy and complete recovery.

TELLS
IDEA OF MILD
RESERVATIONS
Thinks Moderate Changes Are
Those That Could Be Settled
BY Note Exchange.

william Howard Taft, former Pres
ident, called at the White House dur
ing the week to pay his respects and
express his regrets over the President's b
indisposition. and incidentally, made
clear his construction Of The phrase
mild reservations"
It was the opinion Of Mr.. Taft. who
% recognized as the friendly inter-
mediary between the two extreme fsc-
tions Of the Senate in the night over
the ratification OF the peace treaty and
the League Of Nations covenant, that
mild reservations" are those reserva-
tions which are not textualiy embod-
led in the treaty or in the resolution
Of ratification.
"a reservation requiring the reBub-
mission Of the treaty TO the signatory
powers I would not regard as mild {"
said Mr.. Taft. "A mild reservation iB
one to which the acauiescence OF the
other powers may be obtained BY
notes and other diplomatic means not
requiring the resubmission Of the
whole treaty"
Mr.. Taft expressed the opinion that
the balance Of power" can be OBJ
taiued BY the pro-league faction OF the
Senate providing some minor conces-
sions are made as to reservations. He
indicated clearly that his views CO
incide with those Of President Wilson
regarding the nature Of reservations
that will be safe 80 far and virtually
uureBerved ratification Of the treaty Is
concerned.
Reservations that would necessitate
further negotiations with the other
powers signing the instruments are
Objectionable to President Wilson and
he has indicated rather plainly that
he V1Il withdraw the treaty from the
Senate if such reservations are made.
He stressed the point IN his speeches
"a the West that the resubmission Of
the treaty to Germany would be hui
initiating, and his view IS understood
BY Mr.. Taft, who has displayed Excep-
tiOnal nonpartisanship in regard to
the subject.
