Traction Merger Prospects.

Gratifying evidence of progress
toward a traction merger in this city
is afforded by the statement given
yesterday before a subcommittee Of
the House by the president OF the
Capital Traction Company. He told
the subcommittee that the prospects
of a voluntary union Of the two
corporations are bright. Conferences
have been in progress for two months
between representatives of his com
pany and a large out-of-town cor
poration which specializes in local
utilities securities. II q practical
basis for merger IS reached it viii
be presented to representatives of
the other local corporation. 1t is be-
lieved that the latter is ready to CO.
operate. If the merger plan is adopt
ed by the two corporations IT will
be laid before the Public Utilities
Commission for approval and then
before Congress for the conclusive
authorization.
All Washington hopes that a
merger of these two corporations can
be effected, on terms which will as
sure good service and reasonably low
rates of fare. Upon the terms of the
combination will depend its success.
Naturally each corporation will wish
and seek the highest possible APP
praisal Of its properties. 1t will be
for the Public Utilities Commission.
and eventually Congress. to determine
whether the capitalization of the
merged companies is warranted by
the conditions. immediate and pro-
spective.
1t IS generally admitted that public
transportation conditions are chang
ing. The motor bus, both as trunk
line and as feeder, has affected the
traction service. The rapid develop
ment of the individual motor car has
drawn heavily upon street car pat
ronage. Whether this tendency will
continue is a question that cannot
be definitely solved. Those who are
now engaged in the preliminary
merger discussions are, of course,
taking these factors into considera-
ton. The public awaits the result,
hopeful that merger may be effected
to the end Of yielding superior serv-
ice and lower rates OF fare.

The Democratic Chairmanship,

What has come to b. known as the
'-policy dinner." attended h. several
leading Democrats in this city the
other night, has stimulated discussion
Of the campaign organization Of that
party with a view TO both the con.
gressional and thc presidential CON
tests of 1926 and 1925. RESPECTIVELY.
At thai dinner. 1t is understood, there
was no discussion of the question of
the chairman Of The national com
mittee. Between presidential cam
paigns this Office has relatively little
Importance. but in the Congressional
year" It sometimes happens that there
is a lack of coordination between the
congressional committees and the ma.
tional committee which seriously inks
the former.
The national chairman Is the per-
sonal choies of the candidate for
President. If that candidate is de.
feated, as was the case of the democ-
racy in 1924, the national chairman
has less prestige than in case his
candidate is elected. So it is not sur
prising that Notwithstanding the fact
that this question was not debated
the other night. as far as reports
disclose, there is already an indica-
ton of a movement looking ahead
to q change in the chairmanship.

After Thirty Years.

1t is natural that the residents OF
! the northeastern section should make
community celebration Of the open
ing of the fire truck house at -Four
teenth street and Florida avenue. For
they have been asking for this protec'
ton for their property for more than
thirty years. 1t was on the Sth OF Feb
ruary. 1894. that n resolution was
adopted by the citizens association OF
that section requesting the establish
ment of a fire apparatus there. II was
on the 7th of June. 1924, that Congress
passed a bill containing an appropria
ton for the purchase Of land for a fire
station. and a year later a bill was
enacted which contained an appropria
ton for the purchase of truck.
During that lapse of time many
changes have taken place In the sec
ton. 1t has developed greatly in i'm
provements and in population. But
1t was just as much in need of pro-
the fact that there were fewer dwell
ers. In 1894, however. virtually all
parts of the District were in as urgent
need of fire protection. All sections
were clamoring for installations. The
northeast, as one of the comparatively
sparsely settled regions, had to walt
longer than others.
The persistent seeking for this meas.
ure of security against disaster has
eliminated in success. The residents
of the section have been patient,
though often bitterly disappointed
Now they are rejoicing. and in their
celebration they are manifesting an
admirable public spirit. A fire en-.
CINE" is hailed as something that
everybody hopes Will not be often used
but that every one is glad to have
close at hand.
Washington's development munic-
ipally has been slow and somewhat un.
even, owing to the fact that for many
years there were inadequate revenues
for public improvements and for equip
ment. But one by one the needs are
being met, and the prayer of all Is that
the development will not proceed fas-
ter than the provisions for the neces-
sary degree of security and service.

No Sentiment in Kentucky.

Sympathy and sentiment are not the
rule in the tenth Kentucky district in
the choice of a Republican candidate
for Congress to fill a vacancy just
created. This is the district repre-
scented for a long time by John w.
Langley, who resigned IN order to fill
a pressing engagement at a public in
stitution. On the eve of his departure
for his place of confinement he APP
pealed to the voters of his district to
nominate and elect his wife to occupy
the seat which he had so long held in
tho House. Yesterday the Republican
convention nominated man on the
sixty-second ballot, the wife of the
former Representative making a good
fight but finally meeting defeat.
In q number OF cases recently the
wives of deceased members of Con-
ed to fill out unexpired TERMS and in
some instances to begin new terms.
Some excellent additions to the House
have been made in this manner. But
the question mas arisen whether these
sentimental choices are altogether
wise. The widow of the late Senator
La Toilette declined to be candidate
for her husbands seat in the upper
house vacated by his death, though
she would doubtless have been elected
had she permitted the use Of her name
as nominee.
1t does not follow by any means
that the wife Of a Congressman is
incapacitated by her sex or her rela-
tionship to succeed him capably in
the House or the Senate. In fact, she
is exceptionally competent ordinarily
as regards familiarity with congress
sional procedure. She knows the
conditions. the duties and the respon-
sibilities Of the office. She Is ac-
quainted with the Washington situa-
ton" At the same time it is ques-
tionable whether sentiment is the
safest and best guide in the selection
Of Members Of Congress or any other

nothing. They have no candidate for
the craftsmanship. They are laying
low" Sufficient for the present is the
lining up Of delegates.
There are those who oppose any
change in the national craftsmanship
at this time. They point to the fact
that the chairman Is not inactive. but
has been hard at work paying off the
debts of the 1924 campaign. a year
ago these debts amounted to approx
imately $3.50 600, and during the past
twelve months they have been re-
duced by $40. 900. being now s243,00o.
1t is the present hope OF the party
organization to pay off this balance
before the convention of 1928 opens.
1t took the Democratic national com
mittee four years to pay off the deficit
Of $500 900 which was left at the close
of the Cox campaign of 1920.
