Rate by Mail-Payable in Advance.
MARYLAND and virginia,
Continuing the Ball Act.

Proposal to extend the Ball rent act
for two years, if carried out, should
be attended by one primary considera-
tion-that the rent commission should
not be constituted as a drumhead
court-martial for the summary punish
ment Of landlords, but should be a
board of justice in fact for the deter
mination of equities between landlords
and tenants.
When the Ball rent law was orig
inally enacted it was under the pres
sure of a real emergency situation
arising out of the war. Unquestion-
ably it served to ameliorate and obvi.
ate conditions which would otherwise
have borne heavily upon the tenants,
and might we'll have impaired the ef-
ficiency of the nations business of
warmakinS so far as it was conducted
at the capital. Equally beyond ques-
ton is the fact that it was utilized by
some tenants to the oppression Of
property owners.
1t is proposed now to enlarge the
expedition of the great volume of busi-
ness expected to be presented in the
contentious over rates and possession
between landlords and tenants. Legal
counsel for the commission will be
doubled. The tribunal is changed in
character from war instrumentality
to assure the adequate housing of
war workers to a peace-time fair
rentals-fixing court, a court of equity.
to do even-handed justice without fear
or favor between landlords and ten
ants. When the purpose of the law
was. in view of Uncle Sans war ne
cessities, to compel the housing of
war workers at reasonable rates, it was
recognized that this war-neceSsity
related only to dwellings,. and business
property was finally excepted from the
application of the law. Now that the
tribunal is becoming a general peace
time rent-iXing court it is pointed out
that rentals Of business property may
as properly be handled by the court
as the rentals of dwellings. since
neither has any relation now to war
necessities.
This extension for two years of the
Ball act is really the enactment of a
new law. founded on different basic
principle. And the wording Of the Ball
act should be closely scrutinized. so
that all its vital provisions, like that
relating to application to business
property. may be altered to conform
to the change in the spirit and pur-
pose of the law. The new court is to
be fair.rentals-fxing court. like any
other price-fixing tribunal. and is only
to be tolerated if it refrains from func-
tioning as a class-promoting tribunal
and becomes a real court Of equity,
dispensing impartial justice to all the
htigants before it.

Tariff Makers Stumped.

Business interests OF the country
cannot help but be dismayed by dis
closure of how seriously republican
leadership in Congress is divided on
the tariff question. 1t soon will be
year since the republicans took over
complete control Of the government.
pledged to a revision Of the tariff
along the lines Of adequate protection
to American industry. That they have
not done so is not because Of any lack
Of desire, nor is it because c. lack OF
agreement as to what is desirable. The
republican leaders in Congress know
what they want to accomplish. They
want to give American industry the
measure of protection which was af-
forded it by the Payne-Aldrich bill.
But world conditions and world values
are so upset that It seems impossible
to tell whether given rate Of duty
would be protective or prohibitive or
Ineffective.
It was because of the utter lack Of
balance in values abroad, the deprecia-
ton in world currencies and the in
stability Of exchange that the House
upon American valuations. After
wrestling with the problem for months.
trying to adjust rates to the House
scheme of valuation, the Senate
finance committee gave up in despair.
and has announced its intention to re-
write the bill on basis Of foreign
valuations. To this, Chairman Ford
ney serves notice, the House never
will agree; so apparently tariff legisla-
ton is back to the point it set out
from nearly year ago.
In the meantime business Of all
kinds is handicapped, and in some
lines is demoralized. by lack Of knowi-
edge as to what the tariff rates are to
be. 1t is impossible for business men
to plan for the future, and they must
live a nand-to-mouth existence. That
some Improvement has been noted
lately is evidence only of the fact tina.
stocks were so thoroughly depleted
that they had to be replenished- Busi-
ness is not going ahead with the con-
fidence it would have were it known
that for a given time, II only for a
year, tariff rates would remain un-
changed.
This being the situation-a situation
for which Congress certainly Is not to
blame-the President and the re-
sponsible leaders in the House and
Senate may be tempted to consider
the advisability of abandoning for the
present any effort to write perma-
nent tariff bill. Apparently. SO long
as world conditions remain as they
are, it will be impossible to frame a
scientific tariff. with due regard for
protection and revenues. The most
serious inequities Of the Underwood
act were remedied by the emergency
tariff law. passed primarily for the re-
lief Of agriculture. The remaining dis
advantages Of the Underwood act are
known and have been discounted so
far as may be. 1t is possible the busi-
ness interests Of the country as a
whole would prefer to endure the Ills
they have rather than remain longer
in uncertainty or to fly to ills they
know not.

 A fact that was overlooked by the Fair management, who requested that the contest close Friday night, was that this did not allow people in Oat- man, Blackberry and other outlying points time to get their ballots in and these votes were brought in too late to count.
