Again the WatchWord.

In the House yesterday Leader Mon
dell referred again to the question of
economy. The occasion was the tax
ing up of one of the regular supply
bills. 1t may be, too, that he will
repeat the performance at the taking
up of each of the bills making pro-
vision for the governments support.
Such course would follow a ia
nous model. "Delenda est Carthagov
Extravaganza must be destroyed!
Sure it must; and attention cannot
be called too frequently to the ne.
cessity.
The situation admits of no denial
or evasion. 1t likewise bears upon
both parties. 1t grows out of the
war, and both parties are responsible
for the war. They united in declar
ing the war, and in voting the money
for the prosecution of hostilities.
The sums required were very large
War is expensive. There was some
waste, for waste inheres in war. When
everything is moving at a gallop, per
feet order may not be expected
Prudent outlays and up-te- date audit
ings are out of the question.

now is for a return to normal. No

people know this, and will pay.
Normal means q careful inspection
of all estimates, and careful allot
ments of all moneys for public pur
poses. We are not proceeding at :
gallop now. We have slowed down
and there is time fer care and pru
dence.
Mr.. Mondell speaks because he il
the majority leader, and the majority
is held responsible for legislation
But his message is for both sides Of
the chamber. AS the two parties acted
together in increasing the supplies
for war purposes, they should CO.
operate now in reducing them for
peace purposes.
This question Of economy is live
one at present. Taxes are falling due
again, and the bills are large. You
cannot look the tax collector in the
face and say, Tomorrow The time
for the presentation Of your bill is
appointed; and when the money is
due, it is due, and must be paid.
There is less discomfort, however,
when a feeling prevails that the as
sessments represent a definite aim to
keep all expenses within good and rea-
sonable bounds; that. as far as may
be, extravaganza has been cut out !;
that the national establishment is be-
ing supported, as far as may be, on
business principles; that, in as many
cases as possible, we are getting
proper and helpful action on our
money; that, in word, revenue is
being raised and expended strictly
for public purposes and for public
benefit.

company now says that it was wrong
in its estimation Of revenue produc
tion from the new rates. 1t will be
for the commission to decide whether
to revise the rates to conform to the
estimate of revenue needs.
If the rates are raised to straight
seven cents, with two-cent transfers,
to enable the Washington Railway and
Electric Company to meet dividend re-
quirements declared by the commits
sion to be equitable, the disparity of
earnings between the two companies
viii be increased and the situation as
respects the relative position Of these
tive corporations will be rendered
worse instead of better. Again, in
view of the fact that the increase
from five cents straight to the six
and quarter ticket rate caused
falling off in pay passengers it is
conceivable that further advance to
seven cents straight with charge
for nearly all transfers will cause
still further falling off which may
negative the possible revenue gains.
The fact is that there is danger
for the Washington Railway and Elec-
trie Company in rate advances, as
well as possible gains. This fact the
commission will take into account.
Its decision will be guided by the ex-
pcrienee had under the new rates eff
feetive November L.

A Fare,Incrsase Problem.

There is no occasion for surprise in
the application Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company for q
straight seven-eent fare with the privi,
lege of charging two cents for trans.
fers except at certain points. This il
practically the original proposition OF
the company, which the utilities COM
mission met with a decision for .
seven-cent fare, with six and quar-
ter rate and no transfer charges. The
company now points out that in ae,
tual operation the rates that went
into effect November l will not yield
the amount Of revenue which the

The Rent Commission.

Though long delayed, the rent COM

fed approval of the people of Wash
ington, and it is to be hoped of the
Senate in confirmation, permitting in-
mediate organization. The memben
of this commission are all local men,
one of them for life, one since the
age Of ten and the other for sixteen
years. All three men are thoroughly
acquainted with local conditions.
Capt. Oyster and Mr.. Sinclair have in
their various activities and services
on local civic bodies become widely ac-
quainted personally and command the
full confidence and esteem of the local
community. Mr.. Mason, later conner,
has been here for so long as to be-
come identified with Washington and
has already had experience on board
dealing with realty questions.
The commission thus capably con.
stituted will have to deal with a COM
plex and difficult situation. Its com.
position assures both tenants and
property owners a square deal. The
law, however, imposes a heavy bur-
den upon the commission in that it
must hear a great variety of questions
and must rule with consideration for
both the rights Of tenancy and prop
erty interests involved. The consti-
tutionality Of tho present law is ques-
toned, and the commission must face
at the outset the possibility Of the
statute under which it operates being
declared invalid By the courts. It will,
however, proceed upon the assump-
tion that the law will stand and that
its rulings, however they may be ap.
pealed from to the Court Of Appeals,
will have the force Of decisions.
All that tenants and landlords can
ask is equitable treatment. Neither
side should expect advantages. Where
rents are too high here in comparison
with property costs and maintenance
charges they should be reduced.
Where they are too low they should
be raised.
At present inequities prevail. unjust
alike to tenants and to owners. The
task of the commission is to establish
a standard of realty values in terms
of rents, and that task will require
care and diligence and absolute fair
ness. For it the commission as named
is exceptionally qualified, and the
President is to be thanked in the
name of the community for these ex-
cellent selections.

The Minority" Report.

Vs.. practically an even division
the Mapes bill minority report
which may in fact become numeric-
ally majority reports laid be-
fore the House, which for the first
time since May, 1906, presents the
capitals case in full and fair
terms to that body. Representative
Williams statement of the issues in
volved in the Mapes bill puts the Dis
trict's case comprehensiyely and
clearly. Coming as it does from the
committee charged with the duty of
passing judgment upon the question,
heretofore handled in the form of a
rider on the appropriation bill in the
efforts of the House to rescind the
action Of 1878, this report cannot fail
to have a pronounced effect upon the
Judgment of the lower branch of Con-
gress.
After an historical review of the
organization of the District and the
framing of the organic act the "minor.
ity" report meets squarely the argu-
ments that have been advanced for
abandonment of the half and half sys
tenn. 1t declares first of all for fixed
ratio of federal and District contribu-
tions which is the principal conten-
tion of those who now oppose the
Mapes bill as they have opposed ap-
preparation riders in the past seeking
the same end.
This report also denies the claim
that the citizens of the District are
undertaxed, declaring that the prop
erty taxes paid here care fairly COM
parable in every way to the taxes paid
by citizens of other cities similar to
Washington in resources and popula-
,tion." 1t is pointed out that the local
realty subject to taxation is only a
fraction of the city's area, and that
this fraction will grow less as the gov
ernment needs more room for build
ing and other uses.
The "minority" report furthermore
declares that the amount of revenue
derived from District taxation, dou-
bled by an equal federal contribution,
sis not more than the needs Of the
District require" On this point,
though the minority report does not
go into detail, much testimony may
be given. The District Commission
era have themselves furnished the
strongest evidence in their annual re-
port in the statement of necessities
up to the limit of the inequitable
statute which forbids estimates be-
yond prospective revenues, for the re-
peal of which they urgently ask. The
minority" report summarizes the sit
uation thus: "All available revenue
under the existing arrangement will
not more than meet the pressing needs
of the District for years to come"
Thus the case is stated: There should
be fixed ratio and present necessi-
ties point to the equity of an equal
contribution by the government; the
citizens of the District are now taxed
adequately and in proportion to those
of other comparable cities; the
amount of revenue raised in District
taxation doubled by federal contribu-
tions is now and will for some years
be needed to the full to meet the
Districts requirements. No clearer or
more convincing reasons against the
enactment of the pending bill can be
conceived, and the present hope of
the District is that they will so i'm
press the House with their force and
logic and fairness that that body will
refuse to repeal the vital principle of
the organic act.
