SEPARATE utility
RATES OPPOSED
Only Serious Discrimination
Found in the Suburbs Is
Charges for Gas.

The Washington Board of Trade was
onlc1ally on record today as opposed to
public utility rates that discriminate
against the residents of nearby Mary
land suburbs solely on the basis Of the
imaginary line separating the District
from its neighboring State.
This action was taken by the execu-
tive committee yesterday following the
presentation OF report by E. c. Bran
oenpurg, chairman of a special COM
mittee that has held several confer
ences with representatives of the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation to
consider their side of the question.
Inc report indicated the only serious
determinations was in the gas rates
MT Brandenburg said he had been re-
Ilaoly informed that in some cases
persons living on different sides of A
street paid unequally for gas and that
IN one instance. although gas mains
extended from the District into Marv
land and then re-entered the District
those persons in Maryland served bv
the mains were compelled to pay higher
rates tnan those living near the main
Where 1t turned back into the District
Mr. Brandenburg said his COMMITTEES
nad concluded there was little or no
discrimination in electric, telephone or
street car rates. He justified the extra
street car fare paid in MARYLAND by
pointing out that it was necessary to
nave some rare zone and that the Mary
Iano state line was as good a marker
as any other
ne presented the following resolution,
when was adopted unanimously.
Inc washington Board of Trade,
recognizing that the remarkable growth
OF the City of Washington has been
responsible Tor an extensive suburban
development in the adjacent counties
OF montgomery and Prince Georges,
maryland, and that the residents of
sucn SUBURBS comprise many of our
gagged In business or professions and
are substantial taxpayers in the Dis
trlct OF Columbia, is of the opinion that
the development of such suburbs en-
Sures TO the substantial benefit of the
District. 1t Is likewise recognized that
the imaginary line separating the Dis
trlct from these suburbs has in the past
Deen responsible for certain discrimlna-
lions.
the executive committee of the WASH
ington Board of Trade approve in .prin-
ciple the theory that the dlScrmn-
alton between the District of COLUMBIA
and the adjacent suburbs should be
discouraged when this imaginary me
Is the sole cause of such discrimination.
Besides Mr.. Brandenburg others On
the special committee included DR.: r.
E. Harrington, Charles tt. Claggets, Ben
t. Webster, Joseph A. Burkart ana
George v. Graham. The Marylana
representatives who conferred WIN
them at various times were heaoeo
by George p. Sacks, president al tne
Montgomery County Civic FeueIallon;
and j. Bond Smith, general counSei
of the federation.

Special Dispatch to The star
BALTIMORE, March ia move
ment looking to the appointment of a
Marylander to the Supreme Court has
been launched here. The movement is
entirely non-partisan, and is backing
Federal Judge Morris A. Soper for the
place.
One of the most interested in the
movement is City Controller Graham,
Democrat, although Judge Soper is a
Republican. In a letter to United States
Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough Mr..
Graham says, in part:
1T has been a long time since Mary
land was represented on the Supreme
bench of the United States. AS a va
cancy exists there now, it seems to me
that it is great opportunity for the
people of the State to recommend
United States District Judge Soper for
the vacancy.
II have known Judge Soper for more
than 20 years, and in my humble
opinion 1t would be hard to find a man
who would be more capable of filling
the high position of a member of the
Supreme bench"
One of the most famous members of
the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Roger
b. fancy was Marylander, and his
decision in the bred Scott case has
taken rank as one of the classic rulings
OF the Nations highest tribunal.

Among the tasks Of real life, hath
wrought
Upon the plan that pleased his boyish
thought:
light
That makes the path before him always
IT'S he whose law is reason; who de-
ponds
Upon that law as on the best Of friends;
And 1abors good on good to fix, and owes
To virtue every triumph that he knows,
Who, If he rise to station of command,
Rises by open means; and there will
stand
On honorable terms, or else retire,
And in himself possess his own desire;
Who comprehends his trust, and to the
Keeps faithful with singleness of aim;
And therefore does not stoop, nor lie
in wait
For wealth, or honors, or for worldly
state;
Whose powers shed round him in the
common strife,
Or mild concerns of ordinary life,
A constant influence, q peculiar grace;
But who, If he be called upon to face
Some awful moment to which Heaven
has joined
Great issues, good or bad for human
kind,
Is happy as lover; and attired
With sudden brightness, like q man In
Spired;
And, through the heat Of conflict, keeps
the law
In calmness made, and sees what he
foresaw;
or If an unexpected call succeed,
Come when it will, is equal to the need
It's, finally, the man, who, lifted high
Conspicuous object In a Nations eye,
Plays in the many games Of life, that
one
Where what he most doth value must
be won;
Whom neither shape of danger can dis
may,
Nor thought of tender happiness betray;
Who, not content that former WORTH
stand fast,
Looks forward, preserving to the last,
From well to better, daily self-surpast:
Who. whether praise Of him must wall
the earth
Forever, and to noble deeds give birth
Or he must fan to sleep without hi
fame,
Finds comfort in himself and In hi
And, while the mortal mist is gathering
draws
His breath In confidence of Heavens
applause.
This Is the happy warrior; this is he
That every man in arms should wish t.
be.

Two poems which William Howard
Taft loved in life will be read as part
of the funeral services today at the
All Souls Unitarian Church, where
the former President worshiped for "a
years.
of the Duke Of wellington" by Tenny-
son, and a portion of Character of
the Happy Warrior" by Wordsworth.
They will be read by DR.. Ulysses G.
S. Pierce, who was Mr.. Taft's pastor
during the entire time he was mem
Der of that church, and who will con-
duct the funeral services.
"These poems have not been selected
on the moment DR.. Pierce said today.
They are poems of which he was very
fond. The Happy Warrior is poem
to every man on the defensive. The
other is filled with meaningful phrases
when considered in connection with
the life of Mr.. Taft"
The poem by Tennyson, changed
slightly by DR.. Pierce, follows:
Yea, let all good things await
Him who cares not to be great,
But as. he saves and serves the state.
Not once or twice in our fair Nations
story,
The path of duty was the way to glory:
He that walks 1t, only thirsting
For the right and learns to deaden
Love of SELF before his journey closes,
We shall find the stubborn thistle burst
ing
Into glossy puppies, which outredden
All voluptuous garden roses.
Not once or twice in our great Nations
story,
The path Of duty was the way to glory:
He, that ever following her commands,
On with toll of heart and knees and
hands,
Through the long gorge to the far light
has won
His path upward, and prevailed.
Shall ind the topping crags of duty
scaled,
Are close upon the shining table LANDS
To which our God Himself is moon and
sun.
Such was he: His work is done.
Let his great example stand
Colossal, seen of every land,
And keep the soldier firm, the states
TIL in all lands and through all human
story
The path of duty be the way to glory.
Following is Wordsworth's poem:
Who is the happy warrior? Who is he
That every man in arms should wish to
be?
1t is the generous spirit, who, when

"As the member longest in service

noor OF the House, the death last Sat-
urday at his home in Washington, as
the shadows of the evening were about
to fall, OF William Howard Taft"
Unique he was" Mr.. Longworth
continued, "in the possession of the
heartfelt affection of more of his fell
low countrymen than probably any
public man in this country. He was my
honored friend so far as my memory
can run. remember him well, Mr..
Speaker, when I was my daughters
age and he was q student at Yale. My
heart is heavy indeed"
