|. SK|P-ST0P SYSTEM
Public Utilities Commission
Names New Board to Con-
slider Traffic.

That the Public Utilities Commits
sion is considering the advisability OF
abolishing the skip-stop system for
street cars came to light yesterday
afternoon when the Commissioners
decided to appoint new committee
on traffic problems.
In his motion to the board recon-
mending such a committee Engineer
Commissioner Keller referred to the
skip-stop plan as one Of the first
questions that should be taken up
by such a committee.
Emo May Be Chairman.
The board decided to ask William P.
Emo. recognized authority on traffic
matters, to be chairman OF the COM
mittee. which will include a repre-
sentative of the Washington Safety
Council.
The ever-present problem Of regu-
lating parking of automobiles in the
downtown section also should be
given early consideration by the pro-
posed committee, Col. Keller told his
colleagues.
Col. Keller pointed out TO the COM
miSsioners in a communication sew
eral weeks ago that traffic congestion
Is reaching a point where the parking
question should be thoroughly gone
over
Experts of the Utilities Commission
are now at work on data as to
whether the abolition of skip-stops
for street cars would improve or
further complicate the traffic stu
alton.
Will Retard Tramc.
While it unquestionably would be
more convenient for passengers to be
able to board and leave cars at
practically every corner, one official
of the commission makes the observa-
ton that cars stopping at all inter-
sections would tend to retard traffic
generally.
The Midcity Citizens Association
has asked the commission for hear
ing on the subject of skip-stops and
the commission has advised the as
sociation that If the study now being
made justifies such course a hear
ing will be ordered.
The new traffic committee also will
take up the question of whether
motor busses should stop at the near
or far side of intersections or whether
they should stop in the middle Of the
block.

Germans, Surprised BY Defeat,
Not Yet A1Uake to Democracy

in the records of the German law
courts. The laws have remained
practically the same and are ad-
ministered by the same judges who
administered them under the kaiser.
And the way they are being admins
tered has not changed much. either.
For instance, there was the case
against Countess Schlieffen and her
son, Count Schlieffen. They were con-
victed of having plotted against the
life of the elder Count Schlieffen, who
had fallen heir to the Schlieffen es-
tate, while the countess and her son
had been left almost penniless. The
evidence showed that they had hired
two eX-convicts to assassinate the
elder count, either by shoting him or
blowing up his castle. The hirelings,
however, became alarmed and told of
the plot. The court sentenced the
countess to two years and the son to
one year in prison. All during the
trial the defendants were treated with
the utmost courtesy, and the judges
were almost apologetic in announcing
that they had been found guilty, and
the court could do nothing but SEN
tence them.
Then there was case in Potsdam in
which Hohenzollern pirncess had to
appear as a witness. On the day of
the trial the presiding judge discov-
cred to his dismay that the clerk of
beian. That wouldn't do at all, he
decided. SO he ordered that clerk out
of the room and sent for real count.
who was also a clerk in the same
court. And the Judge SO far forgot
his oath to the German republic as to
get up and kotow all over the place
when the ex-pripcess stepped to the
witness stand, and all during her
testimony he addressed her only al
Your imperial highness"
Stern Justice for the Poor.
Let us look at the other side of Ger
man life. where those standing before
the judge are not Of noble birth. A
working woman, member of the
communist party, joined the red army
munist uprising there. She was ar
rested along with a company of red
troops and charged with high treason
Although she had acted merely as a
nurse and had not carried arms, she
was sentenced to six years at hard
labor
Another instance of how common
people are dealt with is furnished by
libel suit brought against the edi-
tor of a socialist paper in southern
Germany. In demanding that the
defendant be convicted and sentenced
as "conceited pig and described his
style OF writing as that of a fish
woman who had visited a fashionable
boarding school,"
The socialist newspapers, even the
Berlin Vorwaerts, which is consider
ed the semi official organ of the Ebert
government, publish many cases OF
this kind and never grow tired of de-
manding drastic measures against
this type of reactionary official. But
thus far their protests have been of
little avail. The class system which

FARM B[OCFAVORS

Senator Capper Says Ma.
tions Fertilizer Bill Could
Be Cut ne.HaIf.

The farm bloc In the Senate is in
favor Of the development of the
| Muscle Shoals power project, Senator
Capper of Kansas, head Of the farm
bloc. stated in the Senate yesterday
during an address outlining the pro-
gram desired by the agriculturalists.
I'VE should resume work imme-
diately on the governments great
fertilizer and power plants on the
Tennessee river. he said. THE ma
tons fertilizer bill is now about
$260,o00,o00 annually. I believe It is
carry out the Muscle Shoals project" !"
Other matters on the program or the
farm bloc were given by Senator Cap
per as follows:
THE farm bloc favors liberal but
sane appropriation for the Department
OF Agriculture, SO that 1t may function
efIiciently.
THE farm bloc believes railway
freight rates are too high and must
come down.
"rhe farm bloc would restore to
| state railway commissions much OF
| the power taken away from them by
an unwarrantable Interpretation OF
the transportation act by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
The farm bloc is supporting the
I SoPpCI p'li, "
compel makers of clothing to brand
their goods so that the buyer, will
know the amount of pure wool and
| the amount Of shoddy in it,.
First in its program. the farm bloc
\ holds credit reform. 1t realizes that
| agriculture is at the mercy of those
who control credit.
The farm bloc is seeking to evolve
credit plan which will give relief
| to agriculture, which will make
more money for financing the slow
| turnover of the farms. which will
give the farmer another opportunity
| to go. ahead with his work with a
decent chance to make good If that
| is accomplished. it will mean cheaper
food. more work. reopened factories
| and mills, and return of good times
Senator McNary's bill extending
the operation of the War Finance
Corporation until July i. 1923, should
be promptly passed by Congress.
Another obvious need in the way
of further legislation for the encour-
agement of agriculture is a law that
will make the Federal Reserve Board
more responsive to the farmers credit
needs.
THE charge has been made that the
! farm bloc seeks class legislation. and
! that it's aim is to profit agriculture
no matter at what cost to other in
dustry. The men who make that
charge lose sight of the fundamental
fact that agriculture is basic, that
what contributes to it's prosperity and
well being unQuestionably benefits all
industry. When agriculture is prof.
