Stock Exchange Seats.

In 1881 the governing committee
Of the New York Stock Exchange
voted an increase in the membership
Of that organization from 1850 to
LOO. The new memberships were
all taken. For more than A years
that limit of 100 members has been
maintained. The only way for a
stock trader to acquire a seat" on
the Exchange is to buy one. The
price has steadily risen during the
years until one day last week seat
was sold for $4,000. the record,
$36, 900 more than the price prevailing
on the 1st of January and $4,000
over the price a year ago. The record
low price for an Exchange seat was
s2,75o in 1871. The present selling
price Of Stock Exchange seats. $685..
900, represents about twenty.four times
the book value" OF $5.770. which Is
the pro rata share Of the members in
the assets Of the Exchange, mainly
comprising real estate.
Yesterday the governing committee
voted to increase the membership Of
the Exchange by twenty-five seats in
recognition of demand far in excess
of the supply. A seat on the Elk
change is the personal property Of its
holder. It can be sold, Of course, sub.

Indian Population Increasing.

The idea that has prevailed SO long
in this country that the North Amer
lean Indians are a vanishing race
is definitely refuted by bulletin just
issued from the Bureau Of the Census
which shows that the Indian popu-
lation on the 30th Of June, 1925, was
349,595, or 1888 more than the year
previous. and 1876 more than IL
years ago. At the rate Of increase
during the past IL years, 1850 a year,
there will in 1915 be more than
400. 900 Indians in the United States.
From the best sources Of informa.
Aon available it is doubtful If the
American Indians in what Is now
the United States ever exceeded the
present number, at any time subse-
quent to the advent OF Columbus.
Ethnologists who have carefully
studied all possible data on the sub.
ject claim that in 1892 there were
not as many aboriginal Inhabitants
as there are at present. The Indians
mainly lived along the coasts and
as the new settlers grew in number
by migration from Europe. and by
natural increase they moved back into
the interior.
It is doubtless true that at one
time the numbers of the Indians
In the United States were much dc.

and disease as a consequence Of con-
tact with the white race. There was
a long period Of not only neglect
but of acute hostility on the part Of
the whites for the aboriginal Ameri.

They were exploited in the taking of
their lands and the refusal Of proper
and sufficient means Of subsistence.
But that period has passed and for
many years now this Government has.
with perhaps some lapses, consistently
conserved the interests Of the Indians
and has safeguarded them against
suffering. 1t has provided them with
adequate homes, has established
schools and hospitals and In the main
has treated them in a generous spirit
Of consideration. The increase In
their numbers Is doubtless due to
this policy.
The North American Indians will
perhaps never increase in the same
ratio as the general population OF the
United States, but it Is a reinsurance
to find that they are not diminishing
in numbers and that they have gained
q foundation Of permanence to main.

Coal and Weather.

A blast of wintry weather gave
Washington the shivers last night
and made many wonder as to the
sufiiciency Of the coal supply. Prob
ably as they buttoned their heavy
wraps and pulled on their warm
gloves-if they had heavy wraps and
warm gloves-they considered the
chances Of an early resumption Of
mining and the relief OF the stress
upon the fuel stock now in the cell
lar or in the store yards of the
merchants.
But consideration Of these matters
does not help the consumer, whether
he is already supplied or Is living in
hopes Of securing fuel. Vertically
only two men hold the decision. the
chairman Of the anthracite producers
committee and the president Of the
United Mine Workers. Each con.
tinues to say that there will be no
yielding. and no further negotiations
for q resumption of work on the
basis Of the present contentious.
Yesterday Mr.. Lewis. the head Of
the miners union. contributed q new
thought to the question In a state
ment in which he declared that the
anthracite operators do not care
whether mining Is resumed In the
hard coal fields or not. ina smuch as
many Of the largest owners Of hard
coal mines are likewise owners of
soft coal mines and are quite willing
to let the public buy bituminous in
substitution for anthracite. He points
to the fact that the prices Of bitumi-
nous have risen In the Eastern mar.
kets In consequence Of the demand
for domestic fuel Of this character.
II 1t Is true that the bituminous
and anthracite production is controlled
In some degree by the same group OF
operators the miners have 1t In their
power to break tho strangle hold those
miners. they charge. now have on
the consuming public by agreeing
promptly to resume hard coal mining
and thus put both commodities in
the market. OF course, the charge
Of a veritable monopoly Of the fuel
supply by this joint ownership has
a serious significance. It should be
! Investigated. though 1t is painfully
evident from past experience that an
investigation does the public but
little good. especially when suffering
Is immediate.

The Presidents tribute to the great

President Coolidge did not seek to
paint a picture Of the New World in

Parking Abreast.

given a difficult problem 10 SolVc IL
the merchants of Washington carry
out their announced intention of de-
handing that the parking abreast
regulation be modified.
The regulation to which the mer-
chants are Directing requires
licensed driver to remain at all times
with a vehicle parked abreast or on
the outside Of other parked cars.
Business men Of Washington claim
that If this rule is enforced, which
has been the case recently. the cost
Of deliveries Of merchandise in the
downtown section will be practically
doubled, inasmuch as two men to
each truck will be necessary.
Under the old traffic rule parking
abreast was prohibited. In an effort
to eliminate some of the annoyances
suffered by merchants in the de-
liveries Of goods, the traffic office
recommended an amendment which
was adopted providing that vehicles
were allowed to park abreast for the
delivery of goods and the discharge
Of passengers II a licensed driver re-
manned in attendance.
1t Is evident that the traffic office
cannot allow the congested streets OF
downtown Washington to become
cluttered up with driverless vehicles
Of all descriptions parked in double
80
parked cars. II this were permitted.
traffic movement would be practically
at standstill: drivers parked on the
inside of the two rows of cars would
find it impossible to get out, no mat
ter how important their business. and
alterations between citizens would
become daily occurrences.
1t is likewise evident that some re-
lief must be found for the merchants
SO that deliveries of goods may be
facilitated. The constant increase in
the use of passenger automobiles and
commercial vehicles has created an
acute condition even on the unusually
wide streets Of the National Capital,
and steps must be taken to meet it.
1t Is doubtful, however, whether
the line Of action proposed at a mass
meeting which was held recently IS
the proper way to meet the situa-
ton. The traffic Office should not
make any further concessions in re-
gard to the parking-abreas regula-
ton, because in so doing it would
paralyze local transportation.
Some other way must be found.
There are two or three possible
courses which may help to remedy
matters. II the merchants could have
deliveries made in the early morning,
the traffic office might extend the
s-to-s:15 restricted parking limit to
10 o'clock and allow commercial We
hicles to park and make deliveries
during that period, or. If this plan
was not feasible, large loading spaces
In the middle Of each block might be
provided.
Neither Of these two plans would
cause the congestion that would re-
suit from indiscriminate parking
abreast. OF course, the last resort
would be the entire elimination Of
downtown parking, but it Is not be-
lieved that the public is quite ready
for that step to be taken.
Whatever plan the merchants de-
eide upon will be granted a sympa-
thetic hearing at the traffic office.
Director Eldridge and Col. Moller are
anxious to Cooperate with the public.
and it is probable that q satisfactory
solution will be worked out.
