WING once served As
IL President Of the United
States q man never es-
capes entirely from the
glamour that rests on the chief
executive Of the nation. and much
interest 10 being taken In what
Woodrow Wilson will do after he
leaves the White House next
March. after having made that his
home for eight strenuous years.
Though no word has come from
the President as 10 what his plans
are, 1t Is understood by those in
intimate touch with him that he
will devote most Of his time to
writing books. AS President Of the
United States during the great
war. his works as An author will
can history, and such a task would
not be strange for him as he es-
tablished himself as a historian
years before coming TO Washing
ton
Whatever the President does
will be for the sake Of the work
itself, and not under pressure of
economic necessity. for though he
is not wealthy man in the sense
that wealth is reckoned nowadays,
his income is sufficient to meet the
simple tastes OF himself and Mrs.
Wilson.
1t is certain that President Will
son before he leaves the White
House will be offered his choice Of
a number of responsible positions
on the faculties of some of the
country's leading universities. his
experience as president of Prince
ton giving him special qualifi-
cation for such work. But his inti-
mate friends do not expect to see
him take up any task that would
make such demands on his time or
endurance. and predict that the
less exacting the role Of an author
is the one he will elect to follow.
Rumors have been current within
the last few months that the Presi-
dent will purchase a homo in or
near Washington following his re-
turn to private life, and will spend
his later years near the scene of
his activity as chief executive.
Such rumors have been consistent

On Guard, Washington!

Washington will present a united
front to Congress at the next session
in regard to the equities of District
appropriation and financial relations
with the federal government The
municipal and District finance COM
mittees respectively of the Board Of
Trade and Chamber of Commerce have
adopted resolutions indorsins the work
Of the joint citizens committee which
has represented the capital before the
House and Senate in these matters
during the past few sessions, in which
the existing arrangement Of local
municipal maintenance has been under
attack. These resolutions are publish
ed in another part Of The Star today
and constitute an impressive review
Of the work accomplished by the joint
citizens committee in the face OF the
success of that committee in securing
at the last session the preservation
Of the vital principle of fixed cOntribu
tion from the United States to the
municipal appropriations. the essential
fiscal provision Of the organic act.
They approve also the securing of a
sliding tax rate on real and tangible
personal property, designed to pre-
vent the collection Of taxes beyond
the needs and thereby making "sur-
plus" impossible. They call for re-
sumption Of the equitable haif-and- half
basis of federai.District contribution.
They strongly commend the joint cit
liens committee for its insistence
upon the principle that the so-called
surplus Of District revenues shall be
appropriated on the half-and-half basis.
The danger to the Districts financial
welfare embraced in the attacks upon
the fixed ratio system is not yet
passed. Continuous efforts will be re-
quired on the part Of the Districts
representatives and their friends in
Congress to prevent destruction Of the
definite rates system, established by
the act Of 1873, and to prevent the
appropriation Of the surplus tax funds
OF past years on any other than the
half-and-half basis, in accordance with
which the surplus taxes were collected.
1t is vitality important. therefore,
that the citizens of the District should,
as these resolutions suggest. stand on
guard.

Three Business Questions.

Here are three questions to which
Mr.. Harding made reference several
times during his campaign, and to
which on that account he is expected
TO give attention when he takes up the
duties Of the presidency.
The tariff. He is protectionist Of
the Mckinley school. and the fact was
used in his favor in states where pro-
lection has assisted in building up de-
serving American industries. He is
sympathetic toward the American
wage scale, and that fact was used to
his advantage in labor circles. The
effort to deliver the support Of organ
lied labor to Gov. Cox failed complete.
~. As usual. wage-earners did their
own thinking at the polls.
Railroad transportation. Mr.. Hard
ing is opposed to government owner
ship and operation Of railroads. He
voted for the Esch- -Cummins measure,
praised 1t in speeches to railroad work
ers, and expects it to justify itself. II
any supplemental legislation should
become necessary it is likely to be
shaped to strengthen the new law.
The merchant marine. Mr.. Hard
ing wants an enlarged foreign trade,
and wants it carried in American bot
toms. He wants America to take a
place among the foremost Of the
ocean carriers. He is going to Panama
to take look at the canal. the better
to qualify himself for urging the pas.
sage Of American coastwise ships
through the canal free. He would re-
store the law which Mr.. Wilson, after
pledging enforcement. had repealed.
These three questions are of much
interest to the business world, and
the new Presidents attitude toward
them should increase confidence in him
in that quarter.

Save Electric Current,

1t is not infrequent at this time Of
year for the electric current to be
interrupted shortly before s o'clock in
this city and thus to throw the light
ing system out of commission for a
period Of from few minutes to half
an hour or longer. OF course, this
causes great Inconvenience, and the
comment of most of those who thus
suffer is that it is pity the electricity
producing company cannot be depend.
ed on for current at just the time
when it is most needed That is pre-
cisely the reason why the current
fails. Shortly before o'clock lights
are turned on in thousands Of houses
and apartments in the city for dinner
illumination, and this addition to the
load" proves just the bit more than
the producing plant will stand The
fact is the power plant at Benning is
overburdened and has been for some
time. and comparatively slight in.
crease in the consumption of current
may overload it. Additional machinery
was ordered last January and has not
yet been delivered. Until it comes there
can be no assurance Of relief from the
danger of current interruption when
the peak OF the load" is reached.
Officials Of the Potomac Electric
Power Company now urge the cleo
tricity consumers of the District to
moderate their use Of current between
the hours Of and o'clock. II four
electric lamps are burned normally
at dinner time one should be cut of.
This done in every household in Wash
ington would be great aggregate re-
duction OF current use and would prob
ably insure continuous and sufficient
current for everybody during the din
ner hour. The company hopes to re-
ceive the new machinery soon, and
when it Is installed it WIN yield enousf,

body use all the electricity they want.

results. They are still capable Of pro

That Mr.. Harding faces the task ol
