Mueller SHES.

It is reported that Hermann Mueller
has declined to accept the task of
forming a new German, ministry. Her
mann is probably wise. It is a diff
cult task at best to organize cabinet
out Of miscellaneous materials that are
available in the present state Of Ger.
man politics. No matter what the COM
binations Of personality that are now
possible, there remains the chance that
any ministry that may be formed in
Berlin is subject to an upset from the
influence Of the radicals now holding a
considerable part of the territory in
defiance Of the government. The trou-
BILE seems to arise with the socialists,
who apparently do not want to be put
in the position Of marked hostility to
their more extreme brethren. If the
government at Berlin cannot suppress
the revolution Of the reds it must COM
promise with them. Probably the So
cialist naders who are not in the radi-
cal revolt are hoping that in the final
crisis they will be in a position to
dominate in the organization of a new
government.

Price Complaints.

Boy Scouts are handing out "com-
plant cards" to the people Of Wash
ington. On these cards can be re-
ported cases Of excessive charges suf-
fered by the housewives in their mar
keting and shopping. They will
bring cases Of suspected pSofteering
in concrete form before tho Depart
ment Of Justice bureau that is con-
sidering the matter of living costs. If
the people will generally use these
cards much misunderstanding may be
cleared up and some injustice perhaps
prevented.
It is possible that charges that seem
extortionate to the purchaser are not
so in fact. On the other hand, it Ia
possible that there are cases Of price
boosting without warrant. These com.
plant cards ought to evelop them.
A practice that is particularly gravel
ing to purchasers is the statement by
salesmen to the effect that "the price
will be moro tomorrow" And it usual
ly is moro tomorrow. This constant
boosting in certain lines Is what bears
most heavily on the consumer. There
is no explanation and there is appar-
emily no substantial justification of
these successive increases. Perhaps
these complaint cards will clear up the
mystery Of these repeated boosts.
In every ease people who use these

actors were inspired by the manifes-
tations Of appreciation. They were at
their best-some Of them, indeed, max
ing a better appearance than at any
time hitherto.
Upon tho whole, it was great de-
bate, and will rank among the Senate's
greatest debates. Objection to It's
length is not well taken. It would be
an easy matter to show that had full
cloture in the Senate been available,
and been applied shortly after the
President submitted the treaty, grave
error would have been made and foun-
dations laid for intense controversies
in the near future. All interests were
served by the latitude of the discus
sion and the time allowed.
The appeal now is to the people, and
the record Of the debate will be an
arsenal from which stumpers on either
side will draw their most effective
weapons. The subject has been we'll
probed and all parts Of it well illuml-
mated. So that the November result,
upon which a very great deal depends,
will carry with it a mandate founded
upon abundant information, and be
the more binding on that account upon
those elected to give it official express
sion.

A strong statement of the reasons for pre-
serving the half-and-half system of financing the
District of Columbia, repeal of which is proposed
In effect in the appropriative clause of the Dis
trict appropriation bill, coupled with an increase
in the tax rate by two-thirds Is contained in the
minority report of the House District committee
against the Mapes bill, repeating the vital princi
pie of the organic law. This report, which was
signed by eight members of the committee,
ninth member joining later, says:
THE only argument made before the COM
mittee in support Of the bill proposed was
based on the ground that the citizens of the Dis
trict are greatly undertaxed and not contribut
ing their equitable share to the expenses of the
District government. We have given the
evidence submitted to the committee careful study
and consideration and have also reviewed and
considered the great of evidence on this
question heard by the joint fiscal committee in
1915, and we have reached the conclusion that the
proposed legislation should not be enacted.
Evening star., 1920-03-28

1--WE believe it would be an act of injustice to
the citizens of the District of Columbia to abandon
the policy established by the act of 1873 of max
ing fixed and regular contribution from the
federal Treasury to the municipal expenses of the
District If it is the duty of the national govern
ment to assist in capital building and develop
ment, those who required to put up the re-
naming amount entitled to know the extent
of their duty and their liability. The trainers of
the act of 1873 placed a greater Importance on
providing for definite and certain federal con-
tribution than they did on what the ratio of con-
tribution should be. The indefinite proportion
plan had been in operation down to 1873. 1t had
proven dismal failure in proper and orderly
capital development The citizens of the District
never knew what they could expect from the gov
ernment by way of assistance in capital expendi-

Higher Taxes and Higher Rents.

The proposal Of the House appro-
priations committee to increase the
tax rate from $1.50 to $3.50 in conjunc-
tion with the repeal Of the half-and-
half Law brings squarely homo to the
people the effect Of any departure
from the organic act. If this plan
is enacted into law rents in the Dis
trict will increase materially. It is
inevitable that the property owners of
the District should advance their
charges for houses and apartments.
The owner Of an apartment house, for
instance, whose tax is now $500 a
year will be asked to pay $2,5Oo. The
additional thousand dollars he will
have to get from his tenants. There is
no other way. Rents are high now in
Washington. Whether they are higher
in proportion to elsewhere is a moot
point, not proved, though often as
serted. But they will surely be among
the highest in the United States if
this proposition is adopted by Con-
gress. And the burden Of this in
creased tax will not rest alone upon
the people who rent homes. It will
bear upon those who own them equally,
perhaps even more heavily. Nothing
has ever been proposed in the past in
all the history Of the District that so
and menacingly strikes at the
prosperity Of the community as this
plan to repeal the organic act of over
forty years. standing and to increase
the tax rate by two-thirds.

The Treaty Debate.

Again the Senate is advised to change
its rules. The treaty debate affords
the text for this latest criticism. It
was much too protracted, the Senate
is told. Under the right sort Of rules
it could have been shortened by half,
with the treaty benefting.
Was the debate-that is, the debate
which terminated in November with
the first rejection Of the treaty-too
longi No pact Of greater, if as great,
importance has ever been submitted
to the Senate. 1t instantly aroused
the iveliest curiosity and concern, not
only in the Senate, but throughout the
country. 1t contained matter whetting
the interest Of lawyers and laymen
alike; and everybody Of the reading
and rejecting kind was soon busy dis
cussing the subject. A short debate
was quite out of the question. The
public expected the Senate to examine
the treaty from every angle; and such
an examination required time.
Tho Senate did its work thoroughly,
and with diligence. There were no
dull moments. Every speech made on
either side showed preparation and
tho proper appraisement Of the issue.
Even De running controversies were
pitched in key to command attention.
The local public-resident Washing
ton no less than visitors-filled the
galleries, from the first to the last cur
tain. Every act Of the drama was wit.
messed by crowds. And, naturally, the

The World Still Warring.

Where is peace to be found in the
world today7 The great war is over
A treaty has been written and between
the major participants signed and ratl-
fed. Yet the map Of the world today
shows many wars. There is war IN
Russia between factions Of the people.
There is war between Russia and Po-
land. There is war in Asia Minor.
There is war in Germany, civil war.
Down on the shores Of the Adriatic the
italians and Jugoslavs, while not &C.
lively in hostilities, are resting on
their arms and watching suspiciously.
There is war in Ireland. Down in
Mexico a new revolutionary movement
has been started. War has just been
averted between Bolivia and Peru.
There, at least, is one consolation In
the generally disquieting situation.
Technically, the United States is at
war with Germany.
These conflicts that are raging, civil
and international, are the outgrowth
of the great war. There is no means
Of checking them. No league Of ma
tions is functioning to put an end to
these turmoils. Much blood is being
shed, and much treasure wasted, in
consequence. Industry is being check
ed and demoralized, and hundreds of
thousands Of people are suffering from
privation.
In all this confusion, however, there
is hope for adjustment. The world
cannot, of course, go on at such pace.
Order must come soon. Russia and
Germany are the chief trouble points
today. What the future holds in Rus
sia no man can tell. Germany cannot
long continue in civil strife without
affecting other countries. Already the
baleful influence Of extreme radical
ism is felt in Italy, where soviets are
started sporadically, evidencing q Sc
rious unrest. But adjustment must
come or the flames that were quenched
in November, 1918, will burst forth
again.
It is impossible to conceive a re-
newal of general conflict. The world
suffered so terribly from the four
years and . quarter Of gigantic strife
that human nature shrinks from the
bare possibility of~renewal. This year
1920 will be long remembered as a
time of uncertainty and strain.
