Urges Greater Speed
For ID. C.. Street Cars
20 the Editor of The STAR

To the Editor Of The Star:
In Mondays issue of The Star there
appeared a good editorial about the
street railways of Washington, which
did not, however, touch upon the true
crux of the sltuation-that is, their
speed, or rather lack of it. The prob
lem which now confronts the District
car companies is neither new nor one
peculiar to this locality Since the
World War it has arisen to trouble
nearly every street railway company in
the United States, whether urban or
rural. Moreover, 1t is problem which
can and must be solved promptly, or
else the car line sooner or later changes
ownership or disappears altogether.
There is no doubt that the condi-
ton of the street railway industry in the
District of Columbia Is bad. To me 1t
seems that the officials of both COM
panies have been more or less shutting
their eyes to facts and consoling them
selves with the thought that at can't
last; the 35-cent taxis are losing money;
everything will be OK. SOON" But it APP
pears that the 35-cent cabs are not los
ing money; quite the contrary. And this
factor, together with the increasing
cheapness of automobiles and the poor
ness of the car service here, is going to
cause a great deal Of trouble Unless
the car companies wake up they are
going to find themselves in q very seri-
Gus mess indeed.
Now, some people may say that in
creased speed of street cars will cause
more accidents. Statistics prove the
contrary To cite a specific example,
the st. Louis Public Service Co. since
1927 has increased the average speed of
its cars from 81 to 11.33 miles per hour,
with consequent increase IN passengers
carried
Yet in the first six months Of 1880
there occurred Is per cent fewer acci-
dents than In the corresponding period
of 1927. Let me point out this Is not a
solitary case, unique of its kind, but one
that has happened. Is still happening
over and over. Observations Of this and
other data point to the conclusion that
an increase in speed does not mean an
increase in accidents, and that such an
increase in speed is generally the means
of regaining passengers that have been
lost.
One company advertises take this
car to the show, for safety, certainty,
comfort and convenience" The WASH
ington street car has two qualities in
common with the horse and wagon

Reelection of Representative Yates
From the Illinois State Journal.

From the Illinois State journal.
From the drift of Democratic ballots
which on last Tuesday covered the Re-
publicans of Illinois energies the cour-
ageous figure of Richard Yates, Con-
gresham at large. Apparently he has
weathered the storm. The election is
personal tribute to the veteran color
bearer Of the Republican party. 1t was
brought about by voters who, bent on
Furnishing the Republican party for real
or fancied shortcomings, remembered
that here was a servant who had no
chastisement canning to him. The folks
whos couldn't forget the name of Yates
and what it has meant to Republican
ism in Illinois quit scratching when
they reached that name on the ballot.
A militant and uncompromising dry.
Yates was under condemnation of the
wet majority from the opening of the
campaign. In Chicago especially he
was marked for slaughter. Precedent
demanded that the vets put him out of
commission, and his escape from exc
cution can be likened to the delivery
of Daniel from the den of lions. We
suspect that q large proportion of the
Yates votes were cast by vets in ad-
miration of his consistency They
couldn't find the courage to put the
steel into the heart Of fighter who
stood by his guns and refused to run.

Financing the Programs.

The Board of Education is possibly a
wee bit suspicious by this time of build
ing programs in general. The school
systems experience with the much-dis-
cussed "five-year program" which some
of the members of Congress concluded
should never have been so labeled in the
first place, has not been encouraging.
And the boards reply to the District
Building request for q fifteen-year
school-building program indicates there
VIII be no more commitals on its part
to anything so far in advance. For the
next five years the school oficials believe
that 100000 annually may be ap-
propriated for capital expenditures
without any danger Of excessive con-
struction Further than that they are
not willing to go.
The municipal government now has
a number of long distance programs on
the books or in the making. The Water
Department, by virtue Of increased
water taxes, has been able to embark on
q five-year program Of modernization
and Improvement. The Highway De-
partment has outlined five years of work
on the highways and ten years work
on bridge construction, which have not
been approved. The Sewer Department
Is drafting a five-year program for
sewer system extension and improve
ment.
AL Of these programs, with others
should furnish a valuable and neces-
sary index to the revenue needs of the
District for the next few years. But it
is far more important for the taxpayers
Of the District to know how the revenue
is going TO be raised than to be told
how it might be spent. The Water De-
partnent made program and Congress
increased the water taxes to carry it
through. The Highway Department has
made program and already there Is
foolish talk of increasing gasoline taxes
to finance it,
II the Commissioners could know
the proportionate shares of local ex-
penses to be borne by the local tax
grams would be of more value than
they can ever be under present condi-
! tions. As long as the Federal contri-
button depends upon the whims of
Congress. and not upon the law or
upon the amount or the Importance of
Capital City projects, detailed plan
showing how much money can be spent
for the next five or ten or fifteen years
may easily become the lever with which
to increase local taxation.
The Commissioners should make all
of their programs conditional The
school board, in this respect, wrote that
should school needs require an in
crease in the tax rate the Board
of Education will be ready TO cooper
ate with the Board of Commissioners
to the end that the school estimates
may be proportionately reduced to
avoid such increase" and this should
be the view adopted in connection with
the other programs.

the present majestic sweep Of green
sward leading up to the noble shaft. In
the depth Of his own lack Of knowledge
Of such matter he also win question
whether any base for the shaft will look

The height Of the Monument would
seem to demand some such wide sweep

come by the hundreds of thousands

is distinguished by its utter simplicity.
It's approaches now are in complete
harmony with the simple dignity Of the

It would seem to the same average
washingtonian, who is perfectly willing
to admit that he knows nothing tech
nical about the matter, that no amount
of gardens at or near the base viii
look quite as well as the present wide
mound, which impresses the sightseer
with sense of stability.
He will view with alarm" state
ments to the effect that considerable
snoring" viii be necessary to rest the
shaft on immovable foundations before
the gardens can be built. Engineers
exploring the subsoil near the Monu-
ment recently struck bedrock at lis
feet inches. The removal of earth
for the gardens will demand solid
foundations to prevent the shaft from
topping, 1t Is believed
The history of the washington Mon
ument is great engineering epic.
Probably few who visit it know that
Nt one stage in its construction the en-
tire foundations were removed and new
t1,:...astions slipped beneath the huge
construction then in place. It will be
no new thing for engineers to expert
ment with the foundations o. the
shaft. 1t has been done, and done sue
cessfully, before, and few will question
that it can be done again. The ques-
ton will remain with the average
Washingtonian whether the proposed
gardens will be as pleasing to the eye,
as satisfying to the eternal sense of the
fitting, as the present long, gentle
slope.

by responsible leaders of the Demo-
cratic party in both houses. In other

obstructive tactics. Il to be observed
during the short session which closes
March {.
This is as much as the Republican
administration could really hope for.
It would be entirely too much to expect
that the Democrats, having won impor-
tant gains in the House and Senate,
would in the new Congress lessen their
attacks upon the Republican admins
tration. Had there been Democratic
President in the White House instead
Of Republican at this time, and had
the Republicans cut into the Democratic
majority in House and Senate in the
recent elections, the Republicans would
have continued their assaults upon the
Democratic administrations policies be-
yond q doubt.
President Hoover and his followers in
Congress will be confronted with de-
termined Democratic opposition when
the new Congress does assemble, 1t Is
assured. If he Democrats can OBJ
tain the aid of the insurgent Repub-
licans In their efforts TO embarrass the
Republican President, the situation will
be all the worse, temporarily ct least.
for the administration. There Is every
reason to believe that the Republican
insurgents will rush to the coalition
standard as though to happy reunion.
The country, it seems, is in for q
period of battle between Republican
administration and coalition oppoSi-
ton, beginning with the advent Of the
new Congress. Political advantage will
be sought on both sides. The Demo-
Gratis will necessarily have to watch
their step. It win not sit well with the
country If the Democratic party turns
out to be merely obstructive. The Demo-
Gratis must put forward constructive
program, in opposition to the program
of the Republican administration. The
Republican administration may yet be
able to Jockey the Democrats into a
position, because of their declination to
accept sound proposals of the Republic
cans, which will cause the Democratic
party to lose ground with the voters In
1892.

Battle.

Cooperative government, visualized in
some quarters following the now cele-
brated statement of the Big Seven"
has faded from the picture, even for
those who appeared most enthusiastic
about it. Coalition-the old coalition
between the Democrats and the Repub-
lican insurgents-which caused the adj
ministration grief in its dealings with
the Senate during the last two years
and which caused no end of delay in
the enactment of legislation, looms
again as the probable portion Of the
American people in the next Congress.
The statement issued by Senator Carter
Glass Of Virginia, bristling with indig-
nation at what he termed an apology
by the Big Seven" to the country for
Democratic victory At the polls, has
clearly indicated the views of consid-
cradle number Of the Democrats In Sen
ate and House.
At the same time. there Is silver
lining to the cloud for the Republican
administration. It is not to be the pol
icy of the Democrats to obstruct the
prompt passage Of the annual supply
bills for the Government in the coming
short session Of the old Congress, In
order to force can ror special ses-
sion Of Congress next Spring. The
Democrats also are inclined 70 permit
the passage Of relief measures for the
destitute, If such measures become
necessary this Winter. President HOO

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE.

Count volpi di Misurata, former
Italian minister of finance, who will
be in Washington next week, Is well
and agreeably remembered here as the
head Of the Italian mission which ne
kotiated the debt settlement with our
Treasury in 1925. His right-hand man
ct that time was Signor Dino Grand.
now Mussolini's foreign minister. Count
Volpi is no longer in public ONCE,
though still high in II Duce's graces.
One of the rich men of Italy. Count
the development of water power and
other public utilities in the Fascist
land. Italy, having no coal, has en-
barked upon q comprehensive scheme
of hydro-electric development. Large
amounts of American capital are in
vested in companies of which Count
Volpi is the directing head. Italian
engineers are among the foremost in
the world in the fields engrossing the
attention Of the Volpi interests.
y
Well, even bridge has been affected
by business depression, or apparently
SO, for Secretary Melons receipts from
internal revenue taxes on playing cards
have fallen OF heavily. In the fiscal
year 1929 the Treasury collected the
10y sum OF $5,375, 6O4.Z0 from taxes
on cards. In the year 1880 revenue
from that quarter was only $4,819,-
292.50. The figures for the third quar-
ter of this year duly, August and Sep
tember) show that the slump contin-
ues. Playing card taxes fell in that
period by about $115,000 as compared
with 1929. Ohio makes more playing
cards than all the rest of the country
put together.

Many messages of sympathy have
been cabled TO Toxic from high quar-
tiers in Washington apropos the de-
struction by fire of the property of the
Japan Advertiser. That long established
and influential American daily news
paper, founded and still owned by B. w.
Fleisher of Philadelphia, has sue
cumbed to the elements twice in seven
years. 1t was wiped out in the jap
anese earthquake of 1923, entirely re-
built, and on November 4 was burned
to the ground just after its morning
edition had gone to press and the
building was entirely empty. Mr..
Fleisher, his friends in the Washington
oficial and diplomatic world are con-
WINGED, will not be deferred from ris-
ing, Phoenix-like, from the ashes
