CONGRESS NEEDS HELP

In a recent address Otto H. Kahn
suggested that when legislative in

would help matters if the legisla-
turc or the congress- should make
up a commission partly of members
representing the legislature and
partly of members representing
the public. With five non Office
holding members to six congressman
he would expect better results,s but
the sames influences which bring
about the selection of certain men
from congress as Investigators would
operate in the selection of the non
members, although partisan obliga-
ton might not rest so heavily on
their shoulders.
One. yes, two things are certain:
one that Investigations are oc-
casionally needed and another that
If the committees to investigate are
taking congressman from their other
duties as the present investigations
undoubtedly do, something has TO be
neglected. The truth of that Is right
now evident in Congress. On the

Editorial Comment
Statler's Decision
(I3OstOn POst)

tBOSIOn fOStD
The decision OF L. NJ. Statler to
postpone indefinitely the building OF
his projected new hotel at Boston
carries considerably greater
significance than the mere loss of
new hotel for this city at this time.
This in itself is bad enough in view
Of the fact that there have been not
more than one or two first-class
hotels opened here In nearly 20
years. 1t is to the building trades.
however, rather than to the hotel
business. that the Statler decision Is
warning and possibly a challenge.
In a carefully prepared statement
Mr.. Statler points out that 1t would
be impossible to operate first class
hotel here at profit that would
show AFFAIR return on the investment
required at present building and
equipment costs. This conclusion
and decision were not arrived at by
guesswork estimates. Statler has
been in the hotel business in var
ious large cities for IS years and
knows to within a fraction of one
per cent what costs and receipts are
likely to be. Furthermore, after
spending $150,000 for plans and
further large sum for the land the
decision to postpone building was
naturally made with considerable
reluctance.

met the Old Stage Coach. NO soon
er did the Old Dog Driver see them
than he pulled in his team OF Billy
Goats.
How many Circus tickets can you
sell for the Salvation Army?" ask
cd Uncle Lucky. You ought TO
make every passenger buy one or
three. it seems to me-"
Now the Old Stage Coach was
crammed full of passengers. There
was Mrs. Pig. with a yellow wig,
and little Miss Hen, with her bright
red comb, and 4 big fat duck with
yellow slippers, and an old lat
goose, with a pink sunbonnet. and
long legged frog with a silk hat.
Last and least, was a tiny mouse,
a calico apron tied around her
waist with blue strings.
Goodness me! The old dog
driver didn't have to ask them to
buy the tickets. Before you could
say "Winky, pinky," they all opened
their purses, Which so pleased the
old gentleman rabbit that he stood
up on the front seat, of the Lucky
mobile and sang:
Buy a ticket every day.
All the money goes to pay
For dinner or a dress,
Helping someone in distress.
Hip, hurrah and hip Murray.
Buy q ticket every day"
After that the two little rabbits
drove off to Bunnybridge and in the
next story I'll tell you what they did
in that little town.
