Insist on Street Rail-
way Legislation.

A five-cent fare for Washington
will be the chief topic under
discussion in the House District
Committees meeting tomorrow.

ming to bring up the Lampert

provides that the street car COM
panies shall not operate on fare
in excess of that allowed in its
original charter by Congress.

Forces are lining up in the
committee to, back this measure
and there appears to be possibil-
ity today that the scent fare might
meet with favor among the ma
jority Of the committee.
Those who oppose the Lampert
bill plan to push vigorously the
two railway measures passed by
the Senate. One OF these bills au-
thorizes railway companies here to
merge, and the other taxes heavily
all profits of railway companies In
excess Of per cent.
Chairman Focht of the House
District Committee said today that
they would devote the entire meet
ing tomorrow to railway questions.

Maryland, declared today that the
time has come for the District Com
mittee to take some definite action.
at hope that at tomorrow's meet
ing something will be done," he
said. 1.-The District Committee has
had the question in hand for sew
eral years and has made little head
way.
1.-The Senate has indicated it's po-
sition on the street railway ques-
ton and hope the House will fol-
low suit"
Congressman Zihlman expects to
be the leader in a fight to have the
committee order a favorable report
on the Senate measures.
Zihlman also said today he in
tended to bring up his traffic bill
at tomorrow's session. The meas
ure provides for a separate traffic
court and an additional judge to

She knows that II isn't her style;
She's immune to Joy or iubilatiOn,

Her morality isn't elastic
She hasn't q chance to be bad.
