Right down in their hearts they

have anybody to send a card to.
They usually mail a picture Of

And once in a while you can

Three-Token Sales Denied.

a plea for the establishment of a
car fare rate of three tokens for 20
cents has been denied by the Public
Utilities Commission. While no writ
ten opinion has yet been delivered,
it may be assumed that the two con-
tentions Of the companies were accept
ed by the commission. One of these
of tokens would slow up the service by
requiring conductors to make more
sales. The other was that the twenty
cent token rate would cut down the
number of cash fares, reducing the
revenues Of the companies from that
source by so per cent.
1t is rather difficult TO follow this
reasoning. In the first place, most
cash-fare payments of s cents per
person require the changing of coins
by the conductors. 1t really takes
longer to pass a cash-fare passenger
into the car than to sell him tokens
and let him drop one of them into the
hopper. For the cash fare consists of
IOuI plcStS VI lIioHey dl ledSl, d UIChSl
and three pennies, whereas the token
is a single bit.
On the score of the reduction of the
revenues from cash fares the ques-
tion reverts to the original establish
ment of the fare rate of six tokens for
40 cents. That virtually sets, for the
very great majority Of passengers, the
rate of 2-3 cents for a car ride with
in the District. If that is proper and
reasonable rate 1t should apply to as
many passengers as possible. The diff
ferential between that and the cash.
fare rate is believed by many to be too
high, that a seven-cent cash fare
would be more equitable. The purpose
Of making the differential as large as
1t is now, 1 1-3 cents, Is supposed to be
to induce the people to buy tokens. If
that is the purpose. why should not
the three.toksn sale be desirable?
The case is for the present decided.
Until the final written opinion is rem
dered. however, it may be regarded as
subject to reopeninge

The Recorders Office,

There are numerous reasons why
the coming Congress should make an
appropriation for constructing build
ing for the office Of the recorder of
deeds, q plan for which has already
been made. The sum needed was in
cluded by the Commissioners in their
estimates to the budget bureau.
Among the reasons is that the work
of the office cannot be carried on salts
factorily in the present rented quar-
ters, and the owners of the building
will turn out the office unless the gov
ernment pays higher rental. An i'm
portant consideration is that this Office
is self-supporting and turns in a large
surplus to the Treasury every year.
Since 1892 the office has deposited
nearly 100000 as unexpended fees
and emoluments, which is approxi-
mately an annual average Of $4,000.
Year by year the work Of the Office
grows, as does the surplus. An earn
ing" of s43,004.44 was turned over to
the Treasury for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1923. The growth Of the office
may be seen in these figures: Total
receipts for the fiscal year 1900 were
s23,11S.05; for 1910, $42,995.32; for
1920, sS5,s65.o9; for 1923. 0,9s7.74.
In twenty-three years the annual re-
ceipts increased nearly six times.
Notwithstanding this increase the

On Addressing Letters.

The Post Office Department and the
Washington post Office have tried in
many ways to have correspondents
use care in addressing their mail and
have issued many warnings that this
be done and many instructions as to
how it should be done. The number
of letters put in the mails with in
adequate or incorrect addresses is
large. Whether the ratio Of such let
ters to those properly addressed is
larger than 1t used to be and whether
there is improvement In this respect
is not known, but the number of let
ters that find their way to the dead
list because it is impossible to deliver
them is still much too large. 1t is
said that the local post Office receives
scores Of letters every day so ad-
dressed or unaddressed that carriers
cannot deliver them. The city post
master has caused to be displayed at
the post Office numerous specimens of
envelopes taken from the mails which
could not be delivered. Some are so
addressed as to be illegible, many
have no street address, and one speci-
men, though sealed and stamped, is
without name or address. Most OF

citizens association In the District

of these associations are familiar with

The Northeast Citizens Association

Many other associations. some of them
representing far outlying parts OF the
District, have done the same. 1t Is
clearly one of the great local questions
