The Proposed Increase of
Telephone Rates

By BILL PRICE.

The local telephone company appears to have been
absolutely frank in offering to the Public Utilities Commits
sion and the general public every available fact bearing
upon its application for increase of rates in this city 1t is
to be commended for this We have at least brought utility
corporations in Washington to the point where they really
do recognize that the public which foots the bs-but is
getting the point where cannot much longer stand the
stran-is entitled to know just why should dig into its
pockets for more money for these utilities.
If there is a weak point in the presented to the
Utilities Commission by the company 1T in the failure to
satisfactorily allocate the huge increased capitalization
the demands and those of the Wash
ington public The company claims this is not possible
Three years ago the p u c. agreed upon the valuation
of the properties Of the local company usabe in the District
of Columbia as $62OOOO0 The company accepted these
figures Now the company tells the p q. c. that three
years spent $8OO0OO0 in the District bringing
it's book value to than $4000000 II eliminates close
of this however, and asks that the rates be fixed
that it will receive return upon total book value OF
$2 100000 increase in capitalization of Sc 900
The p U. c. has its experts at work to ascertain
how much of this book value is real what obsolescence
there may be in the plant and whether it is posi-
BILE to allocate this big increase between the Government
and the public.
AS Washington the center of activities the
local company called upon to the Governments
interests ahead of all others, hestang at expense to
meet the Governments demands and give its business right
of way New conduts stations by the thousands,
exchanges were established From $4,000 telephone stations
lin 1916 the total is $4,000 The company claims
the Government liberal in its settlement of these
pendtures The question arises however to how much
of this increase is properly chargeabe to the
Washington public
Washington did increase in population and business
activities and her people have used the telephone freely
Still it does not look possible that than 100000 of
the OOOOO increased capitalization should have to be
given a return by Washington people.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

l want to get your advice on q
certain subject that my mother and
I can't agree on.
am eighteen years old and am
living In the country. The other
night wanted to stay in town and
60 to q show with q boy friend. I
would have gotten home about o
o'clock that night and would have
walked about half a mile with this
young man. ] couldn't see any
thing wrong in doing this, and
couldn't see that the people of the
community would have any right to
say anything against me, but my
mother insisted that II didn't look
well so. we are leaving 1T to you
to decide for us and are anxious to
hear your advice.
T.. +. G.. AND HER MOTHER.
Your mother is acting on the
safe and sound principle of being
safe rather than sorry and in that
she is quite right. A girl of eight

what she does or what people

about whether the neighbors would
talk or not as would whether the
boy is the right sort Of boy. It is
natural that a girl your age should
want young friends and young
amusements and the best course
is not to circumscribe a girls
activities and make her unhappy
or sullen or both, as it is to regu-
late and sponsor her amusements
so that they will be the right sort
with the right sort of boys and
girls. In this instance much de-
pends on the young man and what
you know about him. A happy
solution Of this particular instance
would have been for the young
man to invite your mother TO ac-
company you. However, II I were
your mother. I should worry moro
about the safety Of the half-mile
walk and the reputation Of the
young man than ! would about the
opinion Of the community.

One of my girl friends tells me
that q girl twenty-four would look
odd with bobbed hair. and that

Most girls who have "bobbed"
their hair have regretted it. It's
more or less of fad and it isn't
suited to all and every occasion.
For outdoor life it's quite attrac-
tive; for evening affairs it is most
inappropriate. AS a relief for
hair in poor health. "bobbing'' is
almost useless. The best thing to
do is to have your hair treated at
some reliable place. Just after
the "f1u" epidemic, when many
women found that the disease had
practically ruined their hair, a
great many had their heads shaved
and wore Transformations" until
their own hair grew out again.

to glorify it To say that war is
part of the order of the world in
stituted by God is blasphemy, al
though it is Field Marshal Moltke
who made this utterance. To 20
into ecstacy about war, to sing it,
to walnut it as developing the most
exalted virtues in man, is praising
crime, an act which is defined and
punished by criminal law.
All morality has it's root in the
desire Of men to live peaceably
together in society, to enjoy
greater security of life and prop
erty and to multiply the possibili-
ties of happiness. According to
Hobbies the primitive condition of
mankind is the war of everyone
against everyone to which only
the constitution of the State has
put an end. II, however, the
State unchains aggressive wars,
it hurls mankind back to its origins
and destroys the work which It Is
its task to create. The Stole Sen
eca proclaims: Homo res sacra
homini," "man is a sacred object
to man." The "Realpolitiker" who
praise war, repeat with Hobbies:
"Homo homini lupus" man is a
wolf to man." The duty of the
moral man is to return from
Hobbies to Seneca.
If within the State it has be-
come possible to tame the wolf
instincts in man and to bring
him under the sway Of right, this
must be possible also in the re-
lations between State and State.
He who denies this on principle,
denies morality in general, not
only for the State, but also for
the individual. He who admits it
theoretically but in practice passes
sneeringly over it, is bandit and
it is obligatory to treat him like
every other robber and assassin
who for the sake Of satisfying his
VOLTS appetite tramples right
and manners under his feet and
acts in the fashion Of the fero-
cious brute.
Can Peace BE Forced?
To this, it is true, the moralist
objects with sadness, the Real
politiker with an irony which pre-
tends to superiority that the State
has created organs for keeping
down the individual bandit, while
such organs for the curbing Of
bandit States do not exist. This
argument may have been true be-
fore the world war; it holds no
longer good since the League Of
Nations has been called into being.
II is only an embryonic organism
rs yet, it has not yet the vigor
which it requires IL It is to exer-
else satisfactorily its functions Of
a supreme court Of justice among
the nations of the world. But II is
sure to reach size and vigor that
will enable II to fulfill the duty as
signed to it by the reason, logic
and moral sense Of civilized man
kind.
This, however, is q question Of
practice, not Of principle. Ethical
philosophy proves irrefutably that
there is only one morality, not one
for the private individual and an
other which in reality Ia the au-
dacious negation Of the first, for
the State and its policy.
He who maintains the thesis of
the double morality shows only
that he does not even possess the

BY DIR. MAX NORDAU

The animal world stands under
/, ehe law Of the jungle; mankind
has placed itself under the moral
law. This sentence comprises the
essence Of the history of civiliza-
lion.
But is humanity civilized? The
question is pertinent, after the
Shoulish five years which we have
lust lived. In his private rela-
dons man makes q show OF obey
ing the moral law; society has I'M
: posed on all its members, except
, the small minority Of born crimi-
/ mails, the duty Of controlling bes-
tal instincts, Of respecting the
! rights and feelings of their fellow
men. But the nations have not yet
recognized as binding the moral
commandments that sway the con-
duct OF the individuals. The re.
Nations from State to State still
are determined by the law OF the
Men who would resent 1t as
crave offense il their morality
lshould be put in doubt discuss
i,Berenely the question whether the
State, in its commissions and
emissions, owes submission to the
4moral rules which apply to indi-
,vidual acts, and most OF them ar
srive at the conclusion that the
Estate In It's relations to other
States must not be restrained by
'imoral considerations.
Formerly, In the times OF Fred
ierick the Great and Napoleon l.,
Ahe criminal propensities Of gov
yernments were euphemistically
Iclept "Shate reason" "raison
Eretat." In the last quarter OF the
.enineteenth century they received
Ahe name OF "Realpolitik."
The worst immortality OF the
State is an aggressive war with
the view Of realizing some sort OF
gain, the conquest of territory, the
extortion of money, privileges or
analogus advantages, the augmen-
tation of power, glory. War is
the sum total of all crimes against
life and property. All means are
legitimate TO ward off such
denominations; therefore the defen-
sive war of the assaulted is not
only justified, but sacred. And
just as it is the duty Of every col
1ectivity to maintain courts Of law,
police and prisons. thus it Is an
elementary obligation of every
State to remain we'll armed, equip
ped and powerful as long as we
have to reckon with the existence
of "Realpolitikcr" who do not recog-
nize the binding force Of morality
for tho State.
Will War End!
To discuss the question whether
war will ever be abolished seems
idle. IL is no use to contredict
those who declare il eternal. 1t is
impossible that it will last as long
as vice. sin and crime. in the total
determination of which I, too, do
not believe. In mankind there will
probably never be wanting NOR
bid specimens and degenerates
whose egotism is monstrously hy-
pcrtrophied, whose impulses are
exceptionally violent, whose power
of inhibition is rudimentary or
.absent, who suffer from emotional
insensibility, and are, therefore,
incapable of any sympathy for
their fellow men, and who are too
feeble-minded to forsee the effects
Of their actions.

plor able fact and another thing Is

You will read in this column by DR.. Max Nordau an
essay 1.-THE Crime of War" He takes the stand that
the moral law applying to individuals forbddng them to
hn each other should apply also to nations His view Is
interesting though somewhat ahead Of the present
standards Of human beings.
A race that has ONE kind of morality for men and
smother for will probably continue for long time to
have double standard for INDIVIDUALS and for
NATIONS.
The individual is bound fairly the other ndvid
ua1- It is man against man.
But the head of a nation looks upon himself on a
large scale, as the head of family.
A man. for instance might step back and allow himself
to be drowned burned rather than crowd out children

that the girl who refuses to become

the other sex. have the respect
and are honored (perhsps not by
"males," but) by "men."
Your comment on IL. Els" letter
of April 81 is excellent. just the
other day the wedding bells in
Washington were pealed. A wom-
an, loved and honored by all who
know her. but who never In any
way lowered her womsnhood. was
married to a minister of the gospel.
She was well beyond marriage
able" sge-apparently was dcs-
tined to travel the solitary way to
the end OF life. She did not NOPE
nor mourn. she made her life a use
ful one. At last after these many
clean, wholesome manhood, came
along and everyone is made happy
by this marriage.
Keep on In your God-honored
work of having your girls sthnd
fast by their colors. Men respect
modest women--the painted. tousled
and frousled piece of humanity In
petticoots is looked upon as a play
thing--never as future wife.
