THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
BY ]. E. Jones

BY J. +. Jones
We have heard a good deal in po-
litical life about the initiative and
referendum, but there has not been
very much concerning it published
with regard to economic affairs of the
country. Nevertheless it. is quite
probable that more real progress has
been made in this direction in the in.
dustrial than in the political world.
This is illustrated by the fact that
the chamber of commerce of the
United States has just submitted refer
endum number 33 to the local bust.
ness organizations throughout the
country, which will vote upon the re-
port of the committee on public util'
tiles of the national chamber regard.
ing local transportation"
So much has been said and written
about the condition in which the
street railways of the country have
been placed by the changed value
Of money and its purchasing powers,
and the inability of the lines to OPP
crate under the fares fixed in their
franchises, that it is interesting to
have a clear definition of the question,
especially when it is made to clarity
the understanding among business
organizations in the United States.
The United States chamber of COM
merce asserts that every phase of
the life OF a community is affected
by the success or failure of its trac-
ton lines in providing a service which
is indispensable to the public. Care
full regulation joined with concern for
the business stability and success of
traction lines should prevail in each
city of the country. Adequacy of ser.
vice at the lowest rate compatible
with continued efficiency is the para
mount consideration from the public
point of view, and neither factor can
be sacrificed to the other without pub
lie detriment-"
This plain statement is supple
mented by the report of the commit
tee which at the outset declares;
rThe country's transportation system
has been placed in a critical position
bv conditions over which operating
had no control and for
which the public had generally made
adequate provision" The commit

Il. OF C.. NOT MILITARY

Recently the Canton Leader charged
the Knights of Columbus with being
a military organization, and cited as
proof, that when iremen broke into
the X. of c. hall in Elgin, ILL.,, they
discovered a quantity of rifles and
other material of a military character.
The editor, who is a member of the
K. Of c., knowing that the charge was
false, denied the story, and wrote Mr..
Windle (who is neither a X. of C. nor
a C~atholic), editor of the ~Iconoclast,
a magazine published in the cause of
liberty, at Chicago, to investigate the
matter for is. In replying he quotes
the grand knight of the Elgin council
of the X. of c., as follows,
81 will say that at no time, thank
God, have we been so unfortunate as
to have a fire, and about the only time
that any of us had a rife in our hands
was when, as soldiers in the U. S. A.
army we were ready to do our part
for our beloved country"
The fire chief of Elgin has promised
that should it be required he will write
a letter or an affidavit absolutely refut-
ing the charge of the Canton Leader,
as to the fire or discovery of firearms.
The Leader should have more reliable
information than the lies of a bigot
when it undertakes to make such an
outrageous charge against an organiza-
ton. Will they divulge the source of
their information, and will they let the
lie stand, or will they retract?
