Mr.. Mitchell's RECOMMENDATION,

The recommendation of Attorney
General Mitchell for improvement of
law enforcement machinery in the
Capital and for laws providing more
protection to Capital residents will be
generally approved. None of them Is
new. All have been recommended in
one form or another by citizens or
onncials and are necessitated by condi-
lions with which Washington Is IA
n1lliar.
The plea that two more judges be
added to the District Supreme Court
In based on evidence existing In the pile
Of unfinished business now clOgging the
courts. This unfortunate state Of af-
fairs, denying quick justice to all
classes Of litlgants. is due to the in
creased demands brought upon the
courts by new legislation; to the
growth OF the city and therefore the
business of the courts. and by the limit
ed personnel on the bench OF q court
that il extraordinary by reason of its
3ar-reaching jurisdiction. Two more
Judges will enable the District Supreme
Court TO make rapid inroads upon the
haas of litigation awaiting disposal.
The recommendation for laws to pro-
tect the purchaser Of securities against
the shyster and the trickster has been
before Congress for . number Of years.
1t Is to be hoped that the weight given
TO this recommendation by the Attorney
General will have the desired effect,
and that Congress viii move speedily to
enact legislation OF q type that our
neighboring States have found most
workable. Washington bankers, business
men and investment brokers have testi-
ned before congressional committees in
the past as to the form that this legis-
lation should take. As far as dancerns
any action BY Congress, their time has

The Airmail Cost.

One Of the major problems con-
fronting Postmaster General Brown
and others who are laboring to cut the
postal deficit lies in what to do with
airmail contract rates. Airmail con-
tracts have constituted o governmental
subsidy that as much az anything else
accounts for the marvellous growth and
development OF commercial aviation In
this country. Without these contracts
there would be little encouragement to
the bold pioneers who have blazed new
paths through the air and made them
highways for steadily increasing trat1ic.
But the process has been expensive.
According TO W. Irving Glover, Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General, oper-
alton of the airmail service Is $50
per cent higher than the ordinary FIRST
class postal rate. 1t costs the Govern
ment 1891 q pound to transport air.

1t receives only 80 cents q pound fol

tors. This problem Is now being
