"Listen to Our Tale of Woe

The Association of Native Trees met
in a wood near Washington yesterday.
Delegates from the Redbud, Dogwood,
Cherry and other branches Of the
order attended. Redbud spoke first and
said: 1.-The Jap cherry trees in Poto-
mac Park are getting all the patron
age and applause. 1t is up to us to
show the people of the District what
native-born trees can do We must put
our effort not into talking, but into
blooming, and we must ask the vandal
nature lovers to give us chance"
Dogwood then addressed the meet
ing. TT is true" he said, that these
foreign cherry trees are good bloom
ers. But there are others! And we are
here! How can Washington expect us
to compete with these Asiatics when
gardeners nurse them and police guard
them? We have to rustic for our food,
and every villain who likes our looks
breaks us. If we had a law to protect
us we would stand some chance"

strewn with the Athletics. The sun is

Bishop will try to knock its cover off.
Before this a brass band will play,
there will be a parade of the gladiators
and the f1ag-raising ceremonies will be
carried out. The Secretary of the Navy
and Clark Griffith, whose middle name
is Calvin, will have much to do with
putting the flag to the top of the pole.
Most of Washington will be in on the
old ball lot now magnified into the
Clark Griffith Stadium, and much of
our population got there before the
gates were opened We extend to the
visitors all the good wishes of the sea
son, uproarious happiness and the jol.

ward them the amplest and tenderest

Equitable Street Car Fares.

What street car fare should Con-
gress or the Public Utilities Commits
sion or both permit to be exacted?
Five, six, seven or eight cents?
The correct answer to this question
involves the ascertainment of the
services to be rendered by the street
car companies and the reasonable cost
of. rendering them. The duty rests
upon the Utilities Commission, or upon
Congress if it intervenes to displace
the commission, to require: o. A high
standard of street railway service;
| t9 payment of more than a mere liv-
ing wage to the workers who operate
the road: (3) payment of such fares.
equitably imposed, and such wise and
fair readjustment of taxes by Con-
sress as will enable the companies to
render the services required, to pay
| the fair wages eXacted, to meet other
expenses of economical administration
and to make reasonable return in in
terest or dividends to those whose
money is invested in the roads.
The Utilities Commission, by author
ity Of Congress, has by action indi-
rectly affecting wages and affecting
directly working conditions and serv-
ices to be rendered, determined in
effect the roads monthly outgo. There
is no escape in equity from a cor
responding obligation in respect to the
roads income. Power Of control and
responsibility go hand in hand.
1t is urged by some that the Capital
Traction fare be Immediately cut to
cents on the ground that on that
rate it can meet all the requirements
in respect to equitable fare which have
been recited, and that the Washington
Railway and Electric car fare be left
at the higher figure, which will be
required to enable it to meet it's
greater cost of operation, due TO it's
far greater trackage of now unprofita-
bic suburban lines.
Advocates of this discrimination be-
tween the car fares to be charged by
the two systems are Indirect advo-
Gates of the zone system of car fares,
under which the passengers fare is
pruportioned to the distance he trav-
els. Analysis of the conditions and
equities involved shows clearly that in
fairness and in the community interest
tie discrimination in charges should
be not between the Capital Traction
passengers and Washington Railway
and Electric passengers indiscrim-
inately, but between long-haul and
short-haul passengers on both roads
under a thoughtfully devised zone or
pay transfer system.
But there are considerations of pub
lie policy which cause the community
to disregard the equities of the zone
system, to prefer the fat rate system.
and to favor correction of any result
ing inequities by equitable tax read
jLstment, including the taxation Of net
instead of gross earnings.

Justice to Retired Officers,

The House military committee has
favorably reported the Hull bill to
equalize the pay of retired officers of
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, coast
guard, coast and geodetic survey and
the public health service. The bill
would remove the pay discrimination
against retired officers and warrant of
ficers of the several services who were
retired on or before June 30, 1922. The
bill provides that the pay of such Of.
ficers and warrant officers shall not be
less than that of those retired subse-
that "aII laws inconsistent with this
act are hereby repealed" The bill seeks
to correct an injustice to large num-
ber of retired officers and men.
Secretary Weeks, in a report Feb
ruary 6 last, said: THE fundamental
question presented by this bill is
whether or not change in the pay
of active officers made at any time
should be accompanied by a CORE
spending change in the pay of officers
at that time on the retired list. Re
tired officers continue to be a part of
the Army, and in general the course
OF legisla ton has been to extend to
them whatever changes in rates of
pay were deemed essential for the Of
ficers on the active list
In the pay act approved June 10,
1922, fixing the pay rate in the Army,
Navy and kindred services, it was pro-
yi1sd that on and after July 1, 1923,
