Street RaiIWay Merger
Before the House
By BILL PRICE

The Washington public will await the street railway
legislation to be reported by the House District Commit
tee before forming judgment. Two plans to have
been decided by the committee
l. Authorizing junction of the w. t. and H. and
Potomac Electric Power Co., the latter being
owned outright by the former.
g Reporting of compelling merger Of
the above combination and the Capital Traction.
If the proposed legislation is worked out so that it
the corporations and THE PUBLIC also it will be
cepted IT, however, it overlooks the pubc's interests
in behalf of the financial interests involved then it is
going to have hard sedding This street railway prob
lem in Washington not solely of smoothing things
for stock and bondhoders of the two corporations
that strong unified organization, useful to the
1nunty may result 1t is likewise of merger which
will lower fares, improved service, less
geston and the building of extensions much needed
for the convenience of the riding public
If the committee had followed the advice Of several
of its members and agreed upon profits tax
that could probably have gone through Congress at this
session 1t would have evened of the inequities
existing between the two railway companies and been
forward step toward voluntary merger The Senate
may adopt this plan which is strongly recommended by
the Utilities Commission, better informed to all the
facts than any other body.
The excess profits tax should become law gen.
eral principles entirely aside from the effects it might
have the present street situation. Any utility
corporation earning excessive above fair return
its valuation should return of the in taxes

William A. Du Puy-

To the boy of sixteen a man Of forty Is old.
says Chauncey Depew. but there Is reverse
side Of the shield. year or two ago when
Richard Choate died. an old lady friend OF Mr..
Depews was commenting on the passing Of the
famous diplomat. She had reached the age OF
ninety five. Choate was such a young man. she
said. He only eighty-two.
Mr.. Depew tells the story Of a visit to Paris
some years ago during which visit that city was
celebrating the Tooth anniversary of a well-loved
scientist who had done much to make the lives
of the people happier. This venerable gentle
man. despite his years. participated In all the
entertainments Of the day and was still clipper
when Mr.. Depew sat opposite him at dinner
late at night.
The American asked the Frenchman for the
thing to which he attributed his longevity. The
latter said that he had never smoked a cigar.
that he had never taken drink of intoxicating
liquor that he had never worried about anything.
Mr.. Depew commented on the evident moral
Of the story. He said he often told 1t before
prohibition audiences and stopped right there.
But when he was addressing nonprohibition au-
dences he told a second story OF Paris:
This story was of a veteran of the Napoieonc
When Mr.. Depew knew him he was lOs
years old and was earning his living as a mes
senger boy. He reputed to have failed to
go to bed sober a single night since Napoleon
surrendered at Waterloo
Dr. Thomas Walker Page economist. chairman
Of the tariff commission. became what he
is by accident. When young man he went
abroad to study. He was interested In literature
and art. He spent some time In England, where
he made study of the passing OF serfdorl.
Then he presented himself at the university OF
his choosing.
He was sent for examination to the man in
whose department he was to work. He made
a mistake and got into the examination rooms
Of the professor of political economy. He took
tho examination. IT consisted of writing
treatise on the passing Of serfdom In England
Tho young American passed with tho highest
mark obtainable. Why shouldn't he? He had
just completed an enthusiastic study Of the very
subject
Having thus got such favorable start In tho
political economy class he stayed there. He came
back to America and has been teaching political
economy in colleges all about the country ever
since.
He says, however, that he still remembers well
a favorite statement of political economical i'm
portance which old Prof, Bacon used to make at
Yale, and wonders II II was fundamentally cor
rect Prof. Bacon held that the discovery OF
America and the train of events that followed
was due to the stimulated desire of the Eu-
ropean palate of that time for pepper Food
was SO poor in those days that It called for strong
seasoning. Columbus was really pepper hun
ter. He wanted to find short cut to the Far
East from which that product came.

YYYE learn from the testimony
wv given by Clarence II. Mackay
and hv ranraaonfativao nf

and by representatives of
American news service associations
before the Senate Commerce Com
mittee that the American people
read only such foreign news as it
suits the British government to let
them read. Tho head Of the Postal
Telegraph systam and the managers
Of the news service agencies united
IN saying that every bit Of Euro
pean news which reaches the Ameri-
can press has to pass through "the
neck of the British bottle"
1t was by this means that the
foreign news was manipulated dur
ing the first two years of the Euro
pean war to give the American
people an absolutely false concep-
ton of the causes Of tho conflict
and of the military conduct of the
different belligerents.
1t was by this means that the
American people were first deceived,
then greatly excited and finally
drawn into q war.
1t was by the same insolent abuse
of censorship that American bust
ness cables to neutral countries and
even to friendly countries were held
back and their contents made known
to British competitors in order to
let British manufacturers and mer-
chants take business away from
American manufacturers and mer-
chants.
1t is by this same insolent control
and supervision of American press
and business cables that the Ameri-
can people are still falsely informed
as to European conditions, and
American business men still cheated
by the delay of their cables and the
forestalling Of their trade negotia-
tions.
This is an outrageous bit of
crooked, keyhole Paul -Prying in the
dishonest interests Of British bust
ness, and a self-respecting nation
like the United States should not
tolerate it, and, indeed, would not
tolerate it if we had self-respect-
ing Administration which was more
American than English.
1t is worth nothing that practi-
cally all the newspapers and writers
and speakers who are swelling the
clamor for a general cessation of
naval construction are the same ones
that made all the uproar against our
neutrality toward the European bel
ligerents and that finally created the
hysteria which hurried US into a
