Capital Comment
BY FRED :. WALKER.

| D1 rhED >. NALhER
One class of government employees
Is likely to get substantial increases
In salaries at this session of congress,
and by substantial, we mean substan-
tlal. Federal judges are slated for
increases ranging from % percent up
in bill introduced by Representative
Graham of Pennsylvania, which is
expected to pass. The bill provides a
salary of $4,000 for the district
judges throughout the country. They
now receive $500. Other increases
are as follows: Chief Justice Taft,
S20,5O0, against Sl5,500; other Su-
preme Court justices, $4,000, as
against $4,000; circuit judges, $751;
900, against $500; chief justice of
the U. S. Court of Claims, S13,500;
and associate justices, $4,000, against
5000 and $500.
Representative Begg OF Ohio told
few things at a luncheon here last
week. The congressman declared
that Washington is the best govern
e deity in the United States, but citi-
zens here lack of civic responsibility.
ganization to serve as a clearing house
for ideas, in order that the people
here might present a united front
when making request TO congress
for improvements. The fact the city
has such a body, which represents
AZ local organizations scattered all
over town is evidently something en-
tirely unknown to Congressman Begg.
As a sense to civic duty, can you
imagine citizens attending meetings
of these organizations year after
year in an effort to secure needed inn
provements, when all they can do is
to pass resolutions begging congress
for them? We can work and pay
taxes, but we can't vote.
There is bill now in congress to
impose an income tax on residents of
the District of Columbia. This tax
would be in addition to the federal
income tax and range from one-half
to four percent.
Secretary of Labor Davis wants
Washington to have a model child la
Dor law. Efforts to secure ratifica-
ton of the Child Labor Amendment.
he says, should not be relaxed, but
should enact for the District
of Columbia a law which will give
needed protection to the children un-
der its jurisdiction, to serve as mo-
del for the states"
Investigation into the riots in Chi
ma last summer reveals that strikers
and students were unjustly murdered
murdered by police. But the victims
are just as dead as if they deserved
killing.
Senator Wheeler is at last cleared
o fthe fake charges pushed by the |
Department of Justice. Hope you
don't try OF figure how much of your
money went to pay attorneys and de-
tectives in the attempt to frame HIM
Basil Manly says the new bread
trust was formed to gouge the pub
lie. This can hardly be classed as
news, because that is the purpose OF
all trusts.

WHY We have so many
TELEPHONES

There nearly twice many telephones in the United
States all the rest of the world put together Out of total
of 2562 telephones throughout the world January
1924 there 1569i5 SO per cent in the United States
of America Europe had $3.50 65 telephones that date 70
of the worlds total The remaining 1902 telephones
comprising IL of the whole scattered throughout
Asia Africa Oceania and the Western Hemisphere outside of the
United States
These figures taken from compilation just made
public of the telephone telegraph statistics of the world The
work of collecting authoritative data from quarter of the
globe has taken considerable time and the published statistics
therefore reflect conditions of Jan. |, 1924
While had this country telephone for every
persons a other countries combined there bu tee
phone for inhabitants The telephone of the
world showed net growth of 5l9l telephones during 1923
OF these s736Ol well over half added to the telephone
systems of the United States
The for the rapid expansion of telephone commun-
cation in this country be found in the standard of living
(which invites this convenience also the character Of the
operation which controls nearly all the telephone business of the
scouny The company has difficulty in selling all the stock
it needs for extensions because pays good dividend and is
marketable at any time The stock owned all the country
by investors and by employees of the telephone companies
