Tor, .ot her-twbrk, whick, scale I'M some
particulars, was higher than those
prescribed by the so-called Burleson

which continued several days, and"a
careful study of the proposition, the
commission disapproyed the propeeea
charges and established q revised
schedule, considerably lower than
that proposed, and much lower than
the federal scale.
Thus in cities of the second group

phone; the new charge is 800 II the
instrument is not in place and no

strument is in place. The federal
charges respectively were $3.50 and

nections on private branch exchanges
will be made for $500 each instead
Of $3.50 as under the federal scale.

IMPORTANT WORK FOR CONGRESS

| Senator Oscar W. Underwood, Of
| Alabama, co-author of tho existing tariff
| law and for many years identified with
| fiscal legislation in Congress, makes the
| prediction shat whichever party is s,lc-
cessful IN NovembsZ Congress will be
called into extra session In March or
| April to revise the revenue laws and place
| the finances Of the country upon peace
| time basis In this opinion he viii be sup
ported by many of his colleagues and by
a large portion of the public.
There is pressing need of financial legis-
lation. In the first place, steps must be
taken promptly to prevent the United
States from becoming the dumping
ground for the products Of foreign fields
and workshops. The tremendous increase
in imports during the first nine months of
the current year emphasizes the danger
from this direction and calls for immediate
remedial legislation. Foreign goods should
not be allowed to have preferential treat
ment in the American market
Tax legislation also is imperative.
Leaders of both parties are agreed that
the buredens of taxation should be tighten
ed at once; that there is no excuse for
imposing the same rates as existed during
the war. Income tax rates should be re-
fASth pitht0 AstAt0
and this should be done before the pay
ments begin IN the next calendar year.
A comprehensive plan for funding the
public debt of S24, 900, 100000 should
be adopted as early as possible so the
people may know exactly what the annual
charges are to be on this account. In this
connection legislation should be under
taken which will bring liberty bonds to
par give them greater borrowing power
and protect their owners from the finan-
cial loss which now confronts them.
These are some of the matters which are
pressing for immediate consideration and
which make it extremely probable that
Congress will be called into extra session
soon after the advent of the new admins
tration In March. Senator Underwood
remarked that "our finances must be de- 4
modified just rs our army was, and every
business man viii agree with that senti-
ment Industry and commerce should be
relieved OF the annoyances of government
interference and individuals should be
freed from the burdens which they as
sumed during the war. Washington

Women Who Do Their Own Work.

American women have one c0mpensa-
tion for the fact that among the immigrants
at present arriving from Europe there are
very few domestic servants. The compen-
sation is merely that they will not sink
back on the parlor cushions in abject
Iaziness, as do so many continental house
wives. with no duties beyond social
functions and no manual labor to per-
form beyond occasional pouring of tea.
In some cases the shortage of household
help is !. cause of real distress. There are
women who have not the physique or the
health prerequisite to housework; and
any man who tries keeping house and
doing all the work therein for even so
short a period as a week viii come to the
conclusion that no fanily's wants can be
attended to by one small woman, un-
assisted, no matter how willing she may be.
Still, 1t is better for the home, for the
community, and for the nation that the
mistress of the house should take as much
care Of il with her own hands as is com
patible with the necessity for leisure and
change.
In Holland, Belgium or Germany
even IN England, we have shining ex-
amples Of nations in which a few upper
class women have become parasites upon
their sisters less well-to-do Domestic
help has been cheap in Europe for CEN
turies, and it has been the custom to keep
servants in hocks. There has been no
simplifoation of the work Of the kitchen be-
cause SO many willing hands have come
forward TO cope with impossible situations,
and so little money would buy so much
assistance that it was cheaper 10 wear out
maid servants on the mediaval CON
tTiyances existing than TO purchase new
ones. Meanwhile for the wives and
