the President will not appoint a
similar misrepresentation to the
proposed reparations committee?
We cannot be sure that he will not
and we now think he will; and we
know very well that the American
member of that committee could
craftily tie the United States into
endless subterranean political com
n1itments and entanglements on che
European continent"
So say the johnson people; and
so. in fact, say many other ''irre-
concilables'' who are not committed
to Johnson for President. The ''ir.
reconcilables," it should be remeTn.
bered, have. grown from being a
little band Of guerrillas into being a
considerable regular army occupying
numerous stations of high.estab.
lished political strength in Wash.
ington. They scan break the Repub.
lican party whenever they want to
break it; and on the subject of
American participation in the poll
tics of Europe. they are willing to
break it at any time; and they vir.
tually unanimously regard Frank E.
Kellogg as a perfected embodiment
Of everything that they most detest
and despise in foreign policy.
Their murrnurs and uproars will
presently fill the air of Washington
and in the end they will utterly
withdraw, all support from the Ad.
ministration's proposed international
reperations conference unless they
are assured that no American like
Kellogg is going to sit in it.
Meanwhile. for the johnson
'irreconcilables" the appointment of
Kellogg to London is in itself
enough. They demand now that
Johnson shall come forward to pre-.
vent this country from doing what
they describe as slipping down the
Coolidge iced toboggan slide into a
revival Of wisconsin under another
name. They do not claim that
Johnson can be nominated; but they
do claim that he can stop the slip.
ping; and they demand that he start
stopping 1t right away. irrespective
OF the consequences to his political
fortunes.
They are asking him, in a way,
to make a hit which they know may
turn out to be sacrifice hit; but
they are asking 1T; and. the best
guess of those who are best in
formed is that within a few weeks
it will be seen that they have not
asked in vain.

Upper-MRS. THOMAS EsTII.L.
HOLDS TAX Gut.
AND BONUS
i -.-
!. POSSIBLE
Senator Curtis Declares That
Soldier Compensation Re-
quires No Special Levy.

It would be possible to put the
adjusted compensation law for
World War veterans into opera
ton next year and at the same
time effect a reduction in taxes,
Senator Charles Curtiss, of Kansas,
Republican whip in the upper
house and member of the powerful
Finance Committee, declared as
his belief today.
Senator Curtis took occasion to
voice this opinion following a con-
ference with President Coolidge,
which, however, was in no way re-
lated to the subject of the soldier
bonus. He backed up his state
nent, saying that payments to the
ex-service men in the first year
would probably run considerably
less than 800. 000, 900, accounting for
the majority Of those who would
draw no more than $50 and who
would prefer the bonus in spot
cash.
Then. said Senator Curtis. the
payments would grow lower and
lower until the fifth year. Then
the Federal certificates which would
be issued to such men as desired
them. under the terms Of the bill
passed by the 67th Congress. and
would be negotiable for loans at
banks. would fall due for payment,
and the sum would rise to about
$143 ZOO, 900. From that time on,
bonus payments would rapidly
shrink.

At STAKE
FOR D. c.
PUBL /;
Matter to Be Discussed at Pub
lie Utilities Board Meet
ing Thursday.

A compromise between the Pub
lie Utilities Commission and the
Potomac Electric Power Company
over the disputed valuation Of the
latter's property today doomed as
a possibility at the District build
ing. A sum aggregating over
$4,000, 900 is at issue.
Plan Full Discussion
Full discussion of the Pepco valua-
ton case, which is being contested
for the D. G. public by Conrad II.
Syme. former corporation counsel,
following the payment Of retainers
by subscriptions raised under the
leadership Of The washington Times
and The Washington Herald, win be
INDUCED in at q meeting Of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission called for
Thursday morning.
At that time, It was announced
today, the various stages OF the
stubborn fight, including the lat.
est action by Chief Justice Mccoy
upholding the contention Of the
Commission that the District Su.
preme Court may proceed to. rc-
value the power property, win be
carefully reviewed with the view
of framing compromise agreement
for consideration by the power
company.
Case to Drag Long.
The District Commissioners reaIizA
that the case promises to drag in the
court for many months yet and that
1t will be highly to the advantage
of all concerned il q satisfactory set.
Element can be reached.
This is not the first talk of q com.
promise. When the United States
Supreme Court held, early in the
year, that 1t had no jurisdiction in
the premises and returned the case
to the District Supreme Court there
was talk Of a settlement, but it did
not develop.
Commissioner Bell feels the delay
involved in the court proceedings is
unfortunate and that the District
is daily losing through this slow
process.
Fear Pepco Appeal.
It appears to be the wish of all
three of the city heads that the
Pepco shall not appeal the latest
decision of Chief Justice Mccoy,
necessitating perhaps year or more
delay, but work together with them
in some sort Of satisfactory setrle-
ment.
Inasmuch as the difference be.
tween the valuation on the power
company's property as set by the
company and the commission is
50 wide. it was pointed out today,
there should be every opportunity
for both sides to get together and
make concessions.
The commission set the valuation
at approximately Sill ,000, 900, while
the company itself puts the valua,
ton at approximately 5000, 900, q
difference of $12 1000, 900. The courts
have yet to rule fixing judicial
valuation on the Pepco properties.

OBJECTS TO CIVIL SERVICE
PLAN FOR "DRY" AGENTS

H. W. Marsh. secretary OF the
National Civil Service Reform
League, believes that to put the
present force of prohibition en-
forcement agents under the Civil
Service Commission without COM
petitive examination. would "have
the effect of demoralzing and cast
ing discredit upon to whole sys-
tenn This frank opinion he ex.
pressed in a letter to President
Coolidge. following announcement
that Prohibition Comm 3 8 o ner
Haynes had given his approval to
a bill calling for such a move.
The agents should not only be
compelled to undergo an examina-
ton before being given jobs, If the
Is to have jurisdiction
over them. but should be subjected
to a rigid character investigation,
Marsh holds.
