Continuation OfIntOLerabLe
Street Car Injustice
By BILL PRICE.

The Public Utilities Commission is apparently com
PEELED to continue for another period the most nolerab
unjust street fare situation in the United States
that would have created serious public remonsrance in
city where political rights exercised.
There is problem in the District which deserves
closer attention from the District Commissioners, who
sttute the p o. c., than this. Members of the P. u G,
having announced their purpose to attempt to work tho
problem out will find unanimous sentiment in Washington
for the quickest action they get from Congress.
That company may have earnings sufficient to pay
return it's valuation the other company deliberately
handed approximately $4,000 year of money belonging
to the people, The is doubtless greater than that This
and above what the company is entitled to in
sonable return valuation found by the Commission The
benign spectacle presented of the Washington public max
ing yearly present to railway company of substantially
THREE QUARTERS OF MILLION DOLLARS that tho
company does not ask for.
Is there any likelihood that the officers and stockhod
of that company going to voluntarily merge their
property with another company when they have such soft
thing this with the promising outlook that the good
thing will continue indefinitely unless Congress takes drastic
to force megerf And if Congress is not going
to take such action is it going to do nothing to have big
chunk of this uneaned money returned to the District
the way of taxesi
There is honest just why the people of tho
District of Columbia should be compelled longer to submit
to an annual contribution of this size.

these manufactured falsehoods they
also demanded trade with Russia
The British Liberals joined them. Ger
tain British business interests, which
believe that bird in the hand is
worth two in a bush and think that
trade with present Russia is bird
in the hand worth two with some fu-
ture capitalistic Utopia, added their
voice to the demand for treaty
with Russia. The millions of the
British unemployed swelled the cry.
The movement of Russia's armed
hosts toward the frontiers of the
British Asiatic Empire contributed
inducements for a treaty with Rus
sia which even the British Tories
were obliged to consider.
So the treaty with Russia has been
signed by Great Britain and the
agents of British business are rush
ing into Russia to get the trade with
that immense Empire, while our al
legged democracy bubbles over the
form of government Russia has
adopted.

George Washington University recently con-

Bergman. the cartoonist famed as the creator
The degree was given because this artist had

kindness.
Senator Morris Sheppard OF Texas Is only forty
six years old and yet he had been in Congress for
eighteen years. He succeeded his father, and
was elected without opposition until he tackled
the job Of coming to the Senate instead of tho
House.
He insisted on making prohibition the issue,
but J. +. Wothers his opponent was determined
to discuss the tariff Sheppard ignored the sub
tect and the challenges of his opponent for joint
debate.
Finally wothers offered a reward Of $3.50 for
anybody who would produce this man Sheppard
to defend his position on the tariff
Sheppard himself came in and claimed the re-
ward. He divided 1t into two parts. He gave
S125 to an institution for the reclamation of
drunkards in Mr.. Wothers' home town. The
other $125 he gave to a woman whose husband
had been killed few days earlier in saloon
