The Phone Rate Reduction

Reouctfon or the telephone rates for
domestic users of the District has been
based by the Public Utilities Commits.
sion upon an estimate of I per cent
profit on an adopted valuation Of the
telephone company's properties and in.
vestment. This rate is a compromise
between a per cent yield as proposed
by representa- tives of civic orga MIA
tions and an 8 per cent yield as re-
quested by the company. The com
mission has struck an even course be.
tween the two proposals.
The annual saving to subscribers is
estimated at $4,000. That sum will be
deducted from the earnings OF the cor
poration. In addition there will be an
enlargement of the service on two.
party lines.
The telephone company. il is an
nounced, will not cheaper the service,
and will not, for the present at any
rate, discontinue the radio broadcast
ing that is maintained as a supple
ment. 1t will presumably seek to make
up the deficiency in revenues caused
by this reduction in an enlargement
Of the system and the inclusion Of
more subscribers.
The process of basing rates upon
valuations involves difficulties, but is
the fairest method of determining the
cost OF public utility services to the
people. The commission has in the
present instance plainly sought to be
fair both to subscribers and to the
corporation. 1t rejected the company's
own valuation for one of it's own, ar
rived at by careful computations. 1t
has rejected the proposal of the citi-
zens' representatives that the rate be
based upon a 6 per cent return in
profit. 1t has given evidence of de-
sire to do justice to both Sides
The telephone has become a neces.
sity. 1t Is not an expensive factor in
the domestic equipment. At the rate
as now fixed, with unlimited service,
the daily cost per call becomes. in the
ma jority of instances, a very small
charge.

Won Hindenburg's Triumph.

Yesterday Field Marshal Won Hin.
denburg entered Berlin as the Presi-
dent-elect of the German Republic, ac-
claimed by several hundred thousand
people, with a veritable frenzy Of en-
thusiasm. Today he takes the oath of
office and begins his career as the
head Of the government.
Descriptions of the scene in Berlin
yesterday show a monster ratification
Of the choice of Won Hindenburg as
President. But they also afford pic
ture Of sullen, silent minority, the
Republicans and the Socialists.
Through careful arrangements both
of these classes were excluded from
the reception. Strong arrays of police
had been assembled from other cities
to fend against disorder. A well staged
affair, indeed.
1t had been announced before Won
Hindenburg's departure from Hanover
for the capital that the bands grouped
along the line of his progress from
station to palace would be allowed to
play only the tune "Fredericus Rex"
the favorite Of the Monarchists. Then
it was announced that they would not
the royalist sentiment was manifest,
nevertheless. The royalist colors were
displayed freely. The great groups Of
people massed at vantage points were
composed exclusively Of monarchist
and militarist organizations. Won Hin.
denburg, though clothed in civ!liaE
garb, was acclaimed - - - war hero, as
the exempiar of the old regime.
What Of the silent Republicans and
Socialists? They are for the present in
the background, in the minority. Won
Hindenburg must, however, reckon
with them, as without them a ministry
organized under>his presidency canno.
function through the legislative body.
A general election may have to be
called, and it is by no means certain
that in such an election q majority for
q pro.monarchist administration would
be returned.
IL 40 Suiu VI JOceSidoy o olloi
Berlin that the enthusiasm was even
higher than at any time in the past.
1t was like the days Of late July and
early August, 1914. Echoes Of the
shouts at the German capital yester-
day must have reached Paris. And
as they reverberate the French gov.
ernment is studying methods of meet
ing the debt incurred In the course of
the national defense against German
aggression. Won Hindenburg's triumph
in Berlin certainly cannot be regarded
as contributing to the stability of Eu-
rope or the restoration of tranquility
to the nations so lately struggling
against the drive of armies under his
command.

quarter to a car driver for six tickets

hands the dollar to the ticket seller at

and perhaps the bill goes to the saxo-

silver dollar, but it would not popu-
larize. Men refused to carry so much
weight for So little, worth as a dollar.
In simpler times a silver dollar was a
thing Of beauty and a joyful posses
sion. A boy with a silver dollar would
jingle it in his pants pocket against
a brass button and a marble, and he
was justified in strutting before other
boys. He would go to the trouble Of
polishing the silver dollar that its
luster might dazzle envious eyes. But
