The Senate

IT is gratifying that the Senate,
with most Of it's work undone,
= refused by the slender majority
of three votes to adjourn for a
month. 1t will be more gratifying
if the sessions it has determined not
to interrupt shall be sessions in
which something shall be done. On
the whole the Senate has done bet
ter than the House, so far.
Senator Sterling aptly retorted
to Lodges complaint that the
weather was too sweltering for
work, with the reflection that farm
ers were sweltering with anxiety
as well as heat. Action should be
taken for their relief.
The farmers are not alone. All
over the land there are discharged
soldiers-many of them disabled,
many destitute, all suffering from
black ingratitude who swelter
through the summer waiting i'm
patiently for Congress to act upon
the Bonus bill and redeem the good
faith of the nation.
Business swelters, industry suf-
fers while the Senate lags in action
on the tariff and the tax reform
measures. Neither the gross burden
of taxation is being reduced, nor
the wasteful and unscientific method
Of collection is being remedied, The
simple, Straightforward, and eco
nomical method Of collection known
as the sales tax is being left to die
of Congressional inaction, while
trade and industry swoon under tax
methods more enervating and de-
I structive than any midsummer heat.
1t is well that the wiser and
more patriotic Senators should set
an example to the nation by their
determination to stick to business.

servants for lorg vacations tends

Irish Pebiscite
Possible

I'VE take small stock in the
w cabled prophecies that the
T" Irish Republican leaders
will accept form of dominion gov
ernment. Just before Mr.. De Va
lera left America he stated emphati-
cally to representative of The
Times that he would consider no
such offer, as his mandate from the
Irish people was to fight for indie.
pendence under Ireland's own SOW
ereignty.
What may occur is that the
President and the Parliament of
the Irish Republic may agree to
submit the question of accepting
dominion government to another
plebiscite of the Irish people, and
so take from them either a new
mandate for acceptance of that of
fer, or else a renewed mandate to
fight on for full independence.
Of course, the result of the
plebiscite would be final, one way
or the other, because the Irish peo-
pie have made their own fight for
their own ends and are the only
ones who have any right at all to
decide what they shall do about
the question of acceptance or re-
fusal of the latest English proposal.

Washington Opposes the
TLUO-ZOne EUiL
BY BILL PRICE.

It has been plain from the beginning that an at
tempt to establish separate fares of the Capital Trac
tion and Washington Railway and Electric Companies
would result in demand for two-fare payment, on
the two car lines and that the Public Utilities Com
mission, which begins hearings the subject of car
fares Thursday, might be placed in position where
it might have to listen to advocacy of the proposed
system.
The imposition Of the zone scheme would be
distinct menace to the good of the District as whole
and rank injustice to the thousands who would be
compelled to pay second fare Some specious argu-
ments have been advanced about the fairness of an
additional charge to long haul passengers
There's ONE reason alone sufficient to show the
absurdy of this continually reiterated assertion that
the long haul passenger should contribute more largely
than he does to the financial betterment OF at
least of the roads What is known as the short
haul passenger the street car rider travelling short
distances through the congested portions OF the city,
GETS PROMPT SERVICE. There is no long wait at
car stops The suburban passenger the other band
gets such service. He puts in from fifteen to thirty
minutes street corners waiting for his car.
The truth is the schedules of Washington street
railway lines all made for the convenience OF the
shorthaul traffic. The aim of the operating saffs
is to be sure to get the short-haul money.
Let there be tie-up street lines during the
rush hours, and watch what happens. When the
start again they diverted from their regular routes
and sent in directions where the largest number of
short-haul passengers waiting The suburbanite
takes it out in waiting.
There are many sound reasons why system
would be bad for Washington From business stand
point it would probably result in the establishment of
many small stores beyond the frstzone taking bust
ness away from the city. 1t would unquestionably
stfe the development of the District in its most beau
tful sections. 1t would be most serious blow to those
people of moderate who buying homes; who
have children in their families going to high schools
After all, it is not fare zoning that is proposed
1t is twofare scheme In Europe, where sys-
TENS have been operated, there four five
zones within eight ten miles The passenger riding
six eight squares would pay only few cents. The
scheme here is to have just two within eight
miles.

In Australia when mining development was ex-
ceedingy active.
Two promoters found a vein of pay rock, which
very rich indeed. but it wider than

found pocket 20 good you could set ounce
Of gold out of a shoveful Of ore. II was phe-
nomenally rich, but there surprisingly little
of It.
So they dug the ore out of this pocket and one
of the promoters hurried away to London with
it that he might sell the mine He showed
1t to possible purchasers and they responded with
enthusiasm.
They required but one further demonstration
before closing. They wanted a ton or two of the
ore for mill run. If it showed all right they
would buy.
The promoter, in London cabled his associate
in Australia to prepare for a mill The
man on the ground answered:
IAN right. Send back the mine"

partments in Washington and he was moved by

ing politicians as shrewd economy,
but it cannot so impress anyone
with even rudimentary common
sense.
If there is anything that was
clearly demonstrated in the recent
war it was that the surface of the
sea alone would no longer constitute
the battle zone of future naval oper-
ations.
The Germans, with their under
water boats, came so near to win
ming the war that only the feverish
exertions of the United States, made
enormously more costly by the late
ness of the time at which they were
begun, saved the day for the allies.
The naval Importance of aircraft
had a less impressive demonstra-
ton, but it was made sufficiently
apparent to every naval expert be-
fore the war was ended. 1t was
shown that feet without aircraft
and without the means of keeping
those flyers always at hand and in
condition would be feet without
eyes, utterly outclassed in battle
with an enemy suitably equipped.
One Of the issues on which the
House stands out against the Senate
is the construction of an aircraft
carrier. The Senate bill originally
provided for two of these, but by
agreement with the House conferees
the appropriation was limited to one
and preliminary appropriation
of $15,000,0O provided. This agree
ment the House repudiated, cutting
out all provision for such a vessel.
The aircraft carrier is a ship
the general size of a battlship, hav-
ing broad, unbroken deck from
which airplanes can take off and on
which they can land. 1t has capacity
between decks for at least forty
scout or battle aeroplanes. With
out airship carriers there can be no
airships; without airships a feet
can be pounded to pieces by an
enemy out of sight below the
horizon without the power to re-
turn an effective shot.
Such is the condition in which
the House bill would leave our feet
in any war.
to bring our Government into dis
favor. We do not often hear of a
court deferring its summer vacation
until its dockets are cleared-and
as a result American judicial delays
are the scandal of the world.
If Congress would diligently
finish the business demanded by the
country a prolonged vacation would
then be received by the country
with general shouts of joy.

TheKindOfNaUaLE Economy
That StnrUes and SLays

THE Senate up to now has done
the only wise thing in stand
ing to its guns in the contro-
versy with the House over the naval
appropriation. 1t should not falter.
Economy is necessary virtue
with governments as with individ-
uals. But the merchant who econo-
mized by refusing to carry insur-
ance upon his stock would have
sorry standing with the credit
agencies.
Z Thrift is an admirable quality,
but man who built a house and
saved on its cost by neglecting to
put roof on the edifce would not
! be praised for thrift, but put under
observation as to his sanity.
An adequate navy is the great
essential insurance of the United
States against aggression by any
foreign nation.
1t is the only form of insurance
of tested efficiency.
We now have more to defend
than any other nation. Our pos
sessions, greater than any other
peoples, excite the envy and covet-
BUSINESS of the world.
When the rich man rolling in
ostentatious wealth is beloved in the
homes of abject and pinching pow
erty,, when the money lender enjoys
the hearty affection of those whose
notes he holds, then a nation in the
position Of the United States today
may trust implicitly to the good will
of the rest of the world for security
in the enjoyment Of its wealth.
A navy is the prime essential to
the maintenance of that security. 1t
must be a powerful and an adequate
navy. The House bill makes pro-
vision for none such.
The man who saved money by
putting no roof on his house is no
more a lunatic than the economists
Of the House appropriating $4O9,-
100000 for the navy without max
ing provision for either air or un-
deYwater defense and then calling
their act economy.
Wasting $4O9,OOO,O00 in order to
save less than ST., 100000 may appeal
