Commissioners Are Warned
BY Board Of Efficiency of
PeriIs in Divided Control

While Traffic Director William
H. Harland, on the eve Of the
expiration of his three-year term,
agrees with the Bureau of Eff.
cheney that the Public Utilities
Commission and the Police De.
partment are exercising traffic
functions which belong to his
office, the District Commissioners
are proceeding cautiously on the
Bureaus report.
Report Is Tabled
Following a four-hour session,
the Commissioners late yesterday
tabled the report and Harland's
recommendation, and submitted
copies of the report to the Pun-
lie Utilities Commission and to
Major Henry G. Pratt, Police
Superintendent, who are alleged
to have usurped the Traffic ID
rector's functions in part, for
opinions.
Harleigh n. Hartman, vice
chairman of the commission, pre-
dicted early action on the report.
The Efficiency Bureau listed as
an instance of divided control Of
traffic the commissions attempt
to regulate the routes of inter
state BUSES into and out of the
city.
Police Are Criticised
The criticism leveled at the
Police Department was in con-
lnection with its practice of deSig.
mating the locations of hack
stands, subject to the Commits
sionerS' approval.
Without a unified system of
control the bureau report stated.
the traffic maelstrom will soon
result in chaos.

Mrs.Bannerman Says Member
Admits Schools Here Run
to Benefit Administrators

A favorable report on the Cap
per bill for the election Of the
| Board of Education was forecast
today following a statement by
Chairman Capper of the Senate
District Committee at a hearing
late yesterday.
Several witnesses testified that
a new Set-up" is needed in the
public school system here, and
Mrs. William T. Bannerman
charged that the schools are ad-
ministered in the interest of those
who administer them instead of
the children Of the Capital.
Quotes Board Member
She quoted an unnamed mem
Der of the Board of Education as
admitting this, and Senator Jones
Of Washington asked for~hiS name.
He expressed disbelief that board
member would make such q state
ment and thought Mrs. Banner
man, who is chairman Of a joint
committee representing various
parent-teacher and civic aSSoci.
atoms, had misunderstood him,
Mrs. Bannerman said she might
be permitted later to give the COM
mittee the name Of the board
member, after consultation with
him.
The hearing room held about 40
spectators and witnesses, mostly
mothers of school children. Sen
ator Robson Of Kentucky asked
that all opposed to the bill stand
up and only four arose.
Charles I. Stengle, Of the Citi.
zenS Advisory Council, and James
G. Yaden, of the education COM
mittee Of the Federation of Citi-
zens Associations. strongly urged
a favorable report. Stengle said:
I'VE citizens Of Washington
pay the taxes and furnish the
pupils for the schools, and we
want q voice in selecting those
who teach these children and
spend our money. Wed like to

ARLINGTON HAS
BEST SCHOOLS

ARLINGTON, Va, Dec. 26.
Arlington county public schools,
in the short period of eight
years, have climbed from a posi-
tion near the bottom. in State
educational circles until today
they are considered the best
county schools in the State.
The new addition to. the Wash
ington-Lee High School, which
will be ready for occupancy short
" after the New Year, makes
the Ballston school the largest
high school in Virginia, while
additions to other schools through.
out the county will give it the
greatest capacity for handling
secondary school students in the
State. .....
Arlington's building program
began eight years ago when
bonds were issued by the county
after q referendum vote for that
purpose had proven favorable to
the additions. Since that time
the school enrolment has more
than tripled itself, the enroll
ment this year being more than

paign, that one Of the most important
Issues remaining between the two
major political parties had been sur
rendered: that our differences had dis
appeared; and that the Republican
doctrine Of q protective tarth adequate
to maintain American wages and an
American standard Of living for Ameri-
cans had emerged as the undisputed
victor. Whatever misguided illusions
there might have been in that respect
have been thoroughly and effectively
Cispelled during the consideration of
the present bill. Undoubtedly, you will
hear some of the Shrieks of the van
ouished. Misrepresentation misstate-
ments. unfounded predictions will come
to you. But before you pass Judgment,
permit me to ask you to consider the
many BENEFITS to accrue directly and

the current uncertainties of our bust
ness world, occasioned, in no slight de-
gree, by the tariff delaying tactics OF
the DemocIatic-insurgent coalition. II
YOU would wish an insight into the chaotic
conditions of this country, in the throes
of a commercial panic, with its conse-
uuent unemployment, distress and de-
preston, should the protective tariff
policy of the Republican party be
abandoned, magnify a thousandfold
the present temporary depression in
some of our industries.

from an ad valorem equivalent of 27.33
per cent to 1897 per cent
For schedule IL, wool and manufac-
lures thereof. the average ad valorem
equivalent rate as passed by the House
is $500 per cent and as passed by the
Senate is 57.38 per cent. The lower
average Senate rate, as compared with
the House rate for this, schedule. is
largely due to reduction in the duties
on wool felt hats and wool felt hat
bodies and handmade Oriental, Ak
minister, Savonnerie and Aubusson car
pets, rugs and mats.
For schedule IL, manufactures OF
silk, the average computed ad valorem
rate is COLT per cent as passed by the
House and 58.03 per cent as passed by
the Senate. The decrease in the aver
age of the rates as passed by the Senate
for this schedule is due in the main to
the reduction in the rates on spun silk
yarn, piled; silk velvets and silk wear
ing apparel.
The average computed ad valorem
for schedule Is, manufactures of rayon,
is 53.43 per cent as passed by the House
and 1914 per cent as passed by the
Senate. The reduction in the average
of the Senate rates for this schedule re-
suits from lower rates on rayon yarn,
rayon bands, rayon woven fabrics In the
piece, rayon pile fabrics, rayon tubings,
garters, SuSpenderS, cords, tasSelS, rayon
knit fabric in the piece, rayon handker-
chiefs and woven mufilerS, rayon cloth
ing and wearing apparel and other
rayon manufactures of filaments, hbers,
yarns or thread, and so on, not specially
provided for.
Papers and Books Rate.
The average rate for schedule IA,
papers and books, is 26.14 per cent as
passed by the House, 1881 per cent as
passed by the Senate and In the act of
1922 is 24.51 per cent. The Senate rates
on the average for this schedule are SIS
per cent lower than the rates passed by
the House, due largely to the striking
out by the Senate of the discretionary
ing paper and voting lower duties on
Photographic paper. transparencies and
ceramic decalcomanias. = r-xaNs
For schedule Is, sundries, the aver
age Of the House rates Is 26.57 per cent,
the Senate rates 1899 per cent and the
rates under the act of 1922 20.99 per
cent, or ! per cent more than the Sem
ate rate. The lower Senate rate results
in the main from the Senate voting to
leave hides, leather, boots and shoes
and rough diamonds on the free list
and to lower duties on such items as
cut diamonds and other precious stones,
imitation pearl beads, cork insulation,
perforated cork pen holder grips. me-
chanical pencils and lead pencils, straw
hats, novelty jewelry, leather gloves and
a few other items.
The bill will now 60 to conference,
where the conferees of the Senate and

their differences concerning the pro-
visions of this bill, after which it viii be
enacted into law within q little less
than one year after the finance COM

cedar lumber, shingles, and cabinet
wood logs.
The average ad valorem equivalent
of the House rates for schedule s.
Sugar, nolaSSes and manufactures
thereof--was 92.36 per cent, which was
reduced to TITS per cent in the Senate
bill. and was 67.85 per cent in the act
of 1922. The relatively high ad valorem
equivalent rate for sugar and molasses
results from the very low price OF sugar
at the present time. The rate OF duty
on sugar is a specific rate. When the
price of sugar is high the rate, when
calculated on an ad valorem basis, is
low; but when the price of sugar is
low as at present, the rate calculated
on an ad valorem basis is relatively
high. Sugar has never been cheaper
than now.
Tobacco Rates Same.
The Senate left the rates for sched-
ule 6-tobacco and tobacco manufac-
tures-exactly the same as in the act
of 1922, $500 per cent, which is lower
by per cent than the average rate as
passed by the House for this schedule.
Schedule Z, agricultural products
and provisions, has the distinction of
being the only schedule for which the
average of all rates for the whole sched-
ule was increased by the Senate over
that passed by the House OF Repre-
sentatives. The Senate rates for sched-
ule Z average SEQ per cent, the House
rates average 1885 per cent, while
under the act of 1922 the average was
22.37 per cent The increase in the
average rate for the agricultural sched-
ule is due principally to increased rates
on such products as fiaxseed, live cattle,
&c saG nv
served, cream, cheese, onions, Hover
bulbs, almonds, beans, peas, canned to-
matoes. hay and other agricultural
products.
The rates for schedule 8, spirits,
wines and other beverages, were left by
the Senate as passed by the House and
as recommended by the finance COM
mittee, at the average for the whole
schedule Of 47.44 per cent. The average
rates for spirits, wines and other bev-
erages under the act of 1922 was 3648
per cent.
The average Senate rates for each Of
the i've textile schedules Q, 10, IL, IL and
49, vary from .08 of / per cent to 429
per cent. lower than the average of
those rates passed by the House for the
same schedules, and in the case Of
manufactures of rayon the rates passed
by the Senate are 3.5 per cent lower
than the rates in the act of 1922.
The average ad valorem equivalent rate
for schedule 8, manufactures of cotton, is
1919 per cent as passed by the House
and 1859 per cent as passed by the
Senate. The lower Senate rate is due
primarily to the cut in, the duty on
cotton warp-knit fabric gloves.
Flax, Hemp and Jute.
The average ad .valorem equivalent
rate for schedule 10, fax, hemp, jute
and manufactures thereof, Is 1903 per
cent as passed by the House and 1895
per cent as passed by the Senate. The
lower Senate rate is due principally to
the reduction in the rate on cordaRe
