votes for women, like Truth, will rise
again.
Thus the Island Empire of the East
has taken another stride along the path
which Occidental civilization is tread
ing. 1t is a longer stride than many
Western nations have taken, for wom-
an suffrage is by no means universal
in Europe or throughout the Americas.
Evidently the action of the House of
Representatives took Japan by surprise,
for it was not realized that the move
ment had already made such Roadway.
1t was only two or three years ago that
the Japanese enacted universal man.
hood suffrage. Now comes develop
men which must be regarded as even
more revolutionary. 1t denotes the ire
sistible march of political progress in
Japan and does credit to the spirit of
twentieth century enlightenment which
aninates her chivalrous people.
If, as in the case of men, japanese
of twenty-five years or over. the latest
census indicates that 12,880,000 women
would obtain the limited franchise. 1t
would inevitably be the opening wedge
for a wider vote in the future. Home
Minister Adachi, in addressing the
lower house, disclosed that the imperial
government is working on a plan de-
signed to prepare women to vote in
village, town and city elections rs the
first step" in a scheme leading to suf-
frage for elections in procedures. 1t
should not be long before the next stage
votes in national elections-comes
within the range of practical considera-
ton.
Emancipation of Japanese women has
kept pace with other modernistic de-
velopments in the empire. They are
taking their rightful places in many
fields there, as they are here. 1t is
inevitable that some day they will in
herit their full share of the political
earth as well.

The Taxicab Situation.

HC 1dhlCdu OIbud tlUu.
washington's taxicab situation is rap
Idly becoming acute, and 1t is impera-
tive that Congress should take speedy
action on the bill which gives the Pub
lie Utilities Commission undisputed au-
thority in regard to the financial respon-
sibility, rates and public necessity of all
vehicles for hire. Conditions at pres
ent are deplorable. Taxicab companies
and public hackers arc 1agrantly defy
ing the authority of the commission
and apparently are getting away with
1t, The public because of the taxicab
rate war is not provided with the Sc
curity that it should have. and unless
Congress acts speedily on the bill now
before it chaos will result.
The Washington public demands two
things of its taxicabs. One is a fair
and equitable rate, and the other finan-
cial responsibility from the company or
the individual operator for damages
that may be caused through negligence.
In the National Capital until midnight
last night were three separate rates
used by three classes of taXicab oper-
stors, a thirty-fve- fiat rate for
the city proper, flfteen-cent initial
charge and a twenty-five-cent initial
charge. Today there are two. the flf-
teen-cent charge being reduced to meet
the thirty five-cent fiat rate.
The public is we'll satisfied with the
fiat rate of thirty-five cents for the
city proper, but 1t emphatically is not
satisfied with such rate II safety in
vehicles, competence of drivers and
financial responsibility are lacking. OF
the three, financial responsibility is prob
ably the most important, as it is an I'M
assailable fact that every driver of a
public vehicle should be able either in
dividually or through his company to
compensate the victims of his own
negligence. Too often have patrons Of
cabs suffered serious injury only to find
that no redress was possible because the
small company under whose banner the
vehicle was operating or the individual
hacker had only a small equity in the
car
In every other city but Washington
there would be authority to set fair
rate. order financial responsibility and
determine the number of cabs that
would meet public need without I'M
necessary encroachment upon private
owners rights on the streets. If that were
the situation here-and it will be if
Congress will push through this desirable
legislation-the commission could decide
whether a thirty-five-cent fat rate
would bring an equitable return on in
vestment and still furnish the public
with the protection that 1t demands. 1t
could likewise decide whether the satu-
ration. point has been reached in the
number of taxicabs now operating in
the National Capital
It is decidedly time for speedy action

Tariff Farley Is Seen
AS Complete Failure

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The London Naval Conference, how
ever few of its hoped-for detectives Il
attained, approached its goal far more
closely than the other major interna-
tional conference which engaged the
attention Of Europe this Spring.
While the delegates of the five great
powers weighed naval ornaments at
London delegates from 80 nations tilted
with tariff troubles at Geneva. The
most this conference had hoped for was
United States OF Europe" in which
might be eliminated customs barriers
to trade. The least it wished was an
agreement among represented nations
not to raise existing duties for two
years.
The conference did not achieve even
its least cherished objective. Delegates
were not even certain that the confer
ence has taken the first hesitating step
on the road" to the ideal which prompt
ed 1t, to borrow the words of the chair
man, Count Moltke of Denmark. Even
two-year tariff truce of the mildest
variety failed of approval. The final
achievement of the meeting was little
more than an agreement to meet again
and meanwhile to do nothing to make
existing tariff war any worse.
To say that trade rivalry yields more
stubbornly than naval rivalry to efforts
at Cancellation of international differ
ences indicates the uncompromising
character of the business animositieS
which envelope Europe. The compare
tive success of the London naval parley
contrasted with the outcome of the
Geneva tariff conference affords Lon
don delegates s9sme solace. Their
struggle with navsA rivalries was at the
least more successful than Geneya,s
crusade against customs barriers.

will subscribe to Sousas opinion In this
regard. Furthermore, there is another
point which has not been brought out.
1t is this: The band itself is part of the
spectacle. entirely aside from its func-
ton in the realm of sound. The fash
ing of the sunshine on the flare of the
big horn: the rhythmic beat of sticks
against the great drum; the visible
clashing of the cymbals; the sliding in
and out of the trombones. all coupled
with the fact that the bsndsmen, usually
more ornately uniformed than the aver
age, are swinging along in step to their
own music, all possess an effect of pag-
eantry that nothing else could supply.
Even band of human musicians
seated on moving truck never gives
the same effect as the same group
marching, while a mechanical source of
martial music would be poor substitute
indeed. Military life is losing enough
of its picturesqueness, what with the
steady passing of the horse. the elimina-
ton of colorful trappings, and the sub
stitution of whistles for bugles. May the
blaring horns and throbbing drums be
the very last to go!

Forest Fires Take
Heavy Spring Toll

From the Richmond News-Leader.
An unusually dry Spring along the
whole Atlantic seaboard has had its
inevitable consequence in a series Of
forest fires. From New Hampshire to
Virginia, every seaboard State but Mary
land has suffered heavily. In New
Hampshire losses total an estimated
IS, O00, 900: in New York and New Jer-
sey, $4,000, 900; in Virginia, exclusive
of the recent half million dollar fire at
Hampton Roads, April and early May
fires have cost $350,000 Particularly
vicious was the fire that ragged recently
through the northern part of Henrico,
destroying an estimated 100000 worth
of timber. both standing and stacked.
Although precipitation during the past
April in the Richmond district was not
conspicuously less than that during April,
1929, Weather Bureau figures show that
the south and west parts of the State
have suffered a virtual drought. At
Chatham, in Pittsylvania County, Off
cial statistics show an April precipita-
ton of only 1.66 inches as compared
with 6.6l inches year ago. At Lynch.
burg the April precipitation was Las
inches; in April, 1929. it was 5.76 inches
Tin Amherst County. across the river
from Lynchburg, nearly 1000 acres were
Uufileu OuI III HllQ-ApTlI IlTe). LII
deed, an average OF six Weather Bureau
stations in Southern and Western Vir-
ginia show only 2.57 inches precipita-
ton during April 1880, where April,
1929. gave 4.86 inches.
Against the recurrence Of these costly
and dangerous forest fires carefulness
is obviously the best and only precau-
ton. Cigarette and cigar stubs should
be ground out before being discarded.
Campers and picnickers should make
sure that their cook fires are dead.
Farmers-and this Is most important
should take pains not to let brush fires
escape their control.

Opposition to the Moore Bill.

1t will be. a good thing to permit op-
ponents of the Moore bill for appoint
ment of fiscal relations inquiry COM
mission to state their grounds for op-
position. Hearings on the measure, Or
dered for next Tuesday by the House
District committee, ought to develop
valuable contributions to the general
discussion on fiscal relations. For it is
difficult to understand, on the face OF
it. how one may consistently uphold the
principle of fair treatment for the Dis
trict and at the same time oppose an
attempt to arrive at an acceptable I'M
derstanding of what constitutes fair
treatment. The views of the opponents
of the Moore bill should be interesting,
for, OF course, they will say that they
favor treating the District fairly.
The Moore bill should be construed
as an honest attempt to find way out
of the unfortunate and persistent con-
troversy over what amount the Federal
Government should appropriate for the
District. 1t is not admitted that the
Moore bill would provide a means of
finding workable substitute for the
principle of fixed ratio, for attempts in
the past to set up workable substitute
have failed. But If the fixed ratio is to
be discarded, as it has been by legisla-
tive evasion since 1924, the commission
provided by the Moore bill would at
least attempt to fix a standard, flexible
with changing conditions, for gauging
the amount of yearly Federal participa-
ton in meeting the expenses of the
Capital. Any sincere attempt to fix
such standard would be more accept
able than the present method of blinily
and arbitrarily stating, without rhyme
or reason, that $4,000, 900 represents an
equitable participation by the Federal
Government, and by reason of circum-
stance alone letting it go at that.
Even if passed at this session of Con-
gress, the Moore bill would fail to rem
edy any of the many existing faults OF
the current District bill, resulting from
the 100000 lump sum. The Senate
has temporarily corrected some of the
faults by increasing the lump sum to
$4,000 900. The hope and the petition
Of the District is that the conferees will
uphold this increase.

1.-The court is now constituted with

other Office which requires the consent
of the Senate
Confidence in the court will be
