The Public Utilities Commission
is expected to direct the Potomac
Electric Power Company to lower its
rates for service in residences to So
cents per kilowat hour. The present
rate is So cents.

HIS GOLF CAME
IN DOUBT

The game of golf and who should
play it held the attention of the
House Committee on Appropriations
at it's recent hearings, with the re-
suit that the secretary to the Treas
urer of the United States may be
barred from the green's during work
ing hours.
1t developed that the secretary IN
question, who served under Frank
White, until recently Treasurer. was
known principally ais the goifing
companion of Mr.. White.
'He has not played golf with me
yet" H. Theodore Tate, Mr.. White 8
successor, told the Appropriations
Committee.
sDo YOU play golf?" asked Chair
man Will r. Wood. ~.
II do not play golf; no sir" an
swered Mr.. Tate.
Maybe not old enough, observed
the chairman, who added:
IT do not know what he (the secre-
tary) is doing now. but I do know
that during Mr.. Whites time, Mr..
White played golf, and this man was
his companion in playing golf, and
the Government was paying both OF

(Copyright. 1923. by Universal Servicel
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Public
ocinion In the United States to-
ward big business and the anti.
trust laws, has rapidly been chang
ing.
New methods of enforcement,
plus liberal Interpretation of the
meaning of the law by the Su-
preme Court, has gradually taken
the teeth out of the Sherman anti
trust law of 1890, and the notion.
am9qg captains of industry IS
growing that the time has come for
q new shuttle. AS a matter of
public policy, no ground should be
retraced without. setting UP ade-
quate new safeguards to protect
the public from exploitation.
Horrible Example
The recent anarchy in the petro-
leum industry, with wasteful over
production and wildcat competi-
ton, is commonly cited as a hor-
rible example OF the working out
OF the Sherman antitrust philo-
@opl1y. Now w. T. Holiday,
president of the Standard Oil Com.
pany of Ohio, comes out and says
openly that the dissolution of the
Standard Oil Trust in 1911 has
been largely responsible for the
lack OF cohesion and the lack of
efficiency in the industry. Presi-
dent Coolidge's oil conservation
commission has been keenly in
terested in the socia. cost of dis
organization in the oil industry, and
has asked the American Bar As
sociation to suggest a legal for
nula for authorizing more intel.
-ligent cooperation in the oil in
dustry. The commission also ap-
proved of Henry L. Doherty's
plan for the unit drilling Of oil
wells.
Antitrust Laws
In recent months the oil industry
has made partial approach to
temporary stahilization through In.
formal understandings reached by
leaders in the industry. but the
formal permanent Improvement of
the economics of oil remains TO be
solved. Pm the Hoover administra-
ton, the whole question of the mod.
ernization of the antitrust laws will
no doubt be threshed out.
The effect Of the Standard Oil
Mr.. Holiday points out
in Fourth District Finance and In
dustry, cannot. be ignored in any
discussion of the economics of the
industry. The Standard Oil Com
pany organization already had been
placed upon the inclined plane of
declining influence by reason of the
opening up of the MIDI Continent
field. No one organization could
control that flood of oil. But in
1911, right at the beginning of the
gasoline business. a dissolution de-
cree tore down an organization that
then represented S5 per cent of the
refining and marketing business (but
only a small part of crude produc-
tionl without any regard for eco
nomic results.

DAVIS REVIEWS
RECORD OF SMITH
Says Official Spokesman Will
Be Out of Job if Gov
ernOr Is Elected.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 20.--John w.
Davis, Democratic presidential candi-
date in 1924, discussed Gov. Smith as
a constructive statesman" in talk
broadcast last night.
"There are three ways to try any
man." said Mr.. Davis. 1.-THE first Is
by what he has done; the second is by
what he thinks and says; and the third
is by what competent witnesses say
about him"
The speaker then reviewed Gov.
Smiths record in public Office, assert
ing that he could think Of no course
of training for the presidency better
than the governors had been.
when it Is said" he continued,
'that the questions he has been called
upon to deal with are, after all, State
questions, and that he would be at a
loss in the National field, the answer
IS easy. No man has ever come to
the presidency, no man ever will come
to the presidency, who knows about all
the problems he will encounter. Only
a Solomon and soothsayer combined
would satisfy that requirement. The
important thing is that he should be
able to meet the problems when they
come. There is no schooling for the
presidency, either in a Government de-
partment or elsewhere, to be compared
with the lessons to be learned as chief
executive Of great State"
What Alfred E. Smith thinks" Mr..
Davis said, 'is being made clearer to
this country every day. No question en-
harnesses him. One after another he
has taken up the issues OF the campaign
