NEW RENTS LAW.

Price fixing in rentals IN peace time
is on the same footing as price fixing
in sale OF coal or price OF wage fixing
In sale of labor. And arbitrary price
fixing in rentals in peace time IS as
unsound in principle in the District as
anywhere else IN the United States.
In spite OF the improving amend
ments, our new fair rents law has

TWO KINDS OF PRIMARIES.

No matter what the differences in
the primary laws of the various States,
there are just two kinds OF primaries.
There IS the primary that upsets a
statesman, and there is the primary
that fixes him firmly in his seat. II
the former kind IS more exciting, the
latter has a popularity at Washington
that requires no explaining. 1t is easy,
therefore, TO imagine the long breaths
of relief that have been drawn upon
Capitol Hill as the results of the pri-
maries in Maine and Minnesota have
been received. followed by the an
nouncement that Mccall IS not going
to try TO duplicate In Massachusetts
the feat of ex-senator Beveridga by
running against one of the most con-
spicuous or the Elder Statesmen. After
the sensational outcome OF the In
diana and Pennsylvania primaries, the

Lodge sitting undisturbed in their ac-
customed places and murmurlpg 10

Whether one relishes the verdict OF
a primary or not. this method OF nom
ination has the advantage OF prevent

to the people he would have won. H,
may think that even a popular Yer.
dict does not really represent the pop,

for a man to believe that the voters

that his successful opponent was ''pu

MAY BE NO DISAPPOINTMENT.

The directors of the Philadelphia
Sesqui-Centennial Exposition Associa-
ton. at meeting Monday afternoon.
tabled the proposition for extending
for one year tho time for opening the
proposed Exposition In celebration of
the one hundred and hftieth anniver-
sary of the adoption of the Declaration
of Independence, July 4, 1926. Lack
OF time for preparation was urged as
reason for postponement. and for
awhile il seemed as though postpone
ment would be ordered. but recent ex-
pressions of public opinion against
such an unwiso move seem to have
had effect. The proposition, however,
has not yet been defeated; II has
merely been set aside and may be
brought up any time hereafter.
It is hoped there Will be no post
ponement. The year 1926 Is the APP
propriate time for this Exposition, and
il would be most inappropriate If de-
layed 10 any subsequent date--unleKs

THE COST OF HIGH TARIFF.

During the debate In the Senate
on the Fordney- McCumber Tariff bill,
last week, Senator Walsh OF Massa-
chusetts gave out a statement declar-
ing that the proposed increase in du-
ties on cereals, sugar. fresh meat. po-
tatoes. beans and apples in the Nc
Cumber- Fordney Tariff would impose
on American consumers an added tax
burden OF $1.s1s.5es.44s a year. The
estimate WAS prepared by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture at his request
The basis of Senator walsh's esti-
mate of the increase in cost OF farm
products to the consumer under the
new tariff is the total population of
the country, multiplied by the In
creased per capita cost OF the various
items cited AS compared with the cost
under the Underwood rates. The total
increased tax per capita, according
to figures obtained from the Depart
ment OF Agriculture VIII be $1s.15s
over the Underwood total, and $a,-
ss5 over the Payne-Aldrich total.
These figures seem startling in then
extent but It Is probable they art
reasonably accurate. At any rate, It 1.

protective tariff taxation to point Il

All right, there Is no doubt the
people Will be fairly well served and

view of past painful experience,
would be satisfied with one good col
lection each week.
Now that some kind OF an arrange

Is TO have It carried out. Give the
people two thorough collections each

General Leonard Wood, governor
general OF the Philippines, provost
elect OF the University of Pennsyi-
vania. and candidate-expectant for the
Republican nomination for President
In 1924, has made a serious political
break. one that may prove fatal to
his high aspirations. II was COM
mitted some time ago. but thus far
has escaped general notice.
General Woods bad break Is one
that hide-bound Republicans will find
It impossible to forgive, and party
leaders difficult TO condone. For II
consists OF open treason to the sacred
| Republican doctrine Of high proteo-
tive tariff taxation Indeed, II is an
Endorsement Of the awful heresy OF
free trade. For proof read the fol-
flowing extract from his recent annual
| report az governor-general of the
Philippine Islands:
''In the first three years OF free
trade the trade with all countries
nearly doubled.
I'm case free trade were TO be
taken from the Philippine Islands
II is probable that the closing of
the rich markets of the United
States 70 the products OF the
Philippine Islands would be very
sharply felt. While the Philip
pine government would receive
customs duties on an important
part of their imports that now
come In free Of duty, 1t Is believed
that the first effect would be a
very serious blow TO trade.
"In this connection 1t is inter
esting TO note that the increase
in internal revenue started when
free trade was given and prac-
tically Offset the drop In customs
receipts at the time"

Too frequently Is Snwise indulgence
extended to offenders, and tho time

ton OF penalties falling far short Of

Also, az tho Philadelphia Ledger
urgently recommends, no mercy
should be shown those who persist III
driving cars when they are under the
influence Of Intoxicating liquors. The
task frequently is difficult for sobel
| and clear-minded men and women
and an intoxicated person in ohars'
of a motor vehicle of any kind is c

It is hoped this serious question VIII

conditions to become worse befor

A Senator Becomes President.

Now the curious result OF this bios
soming into the limelight OF the Sen
ate was that for the first time In
American history member OF that
body was elected TO the Presidency.
The prominence which the Senate
achieved brought It's members into
prominence and so when the time came
| for election. II was. to the Senate that
the people turned for a. President The
| Senates experience IN holding the
! whip hand caused II to undertake
things which previously 1t had left
for the Executive or for the Congress
as a whole. By resolution calling upon
executive departments for special re-
ports or for special action or infor-
nation, II arrogated to itself functions
which before that time had been 9TH
erwlse taken care OF. 1t conducted in
designations and generally proceeded
as a ruling body.
The development OF the dominence
OF the Senate went even further. From
outward appearances. it seemed, after
the inauguration, that instead of send
ing one OF its members to the White
House the Senate merely had annexed
the White House as q part OF itself.
