tinue to face abnormal conditions so
long as it has to face unrestrained and
unregulated competition from various
other Carr.e~s that have in the past
been favored by public bodies at the
expense Of tn" railroads." the Charles
ton IS, c. Ercning Post afirms that
permanent relief will not be had until
their competitors are put on basis of
regulation and control that will at once
make their competition with the rail-
roads fair, and insure to the public the
kind of service that the railroads are
compelled by law to give"
On the question at issue between the
railroads and their employees on the
subject Of reduction of wages, the
Yakima Morning Herald observes: ::
THE executives have told the brother
hoods that a wage cut is necessary to
save the roads. The workers may
throw the question into the hands Of
the Government Board of Arbitration,
but the chances are strong that this
board would eventually order reduc-
ttons," The Oshkosh Daily North
western thinks that 'in view of the
present financial plight of most of the
lines, either mediation or arbitration
would be rather likely to bring the
same wage reduction that the EN-
ployes are now asked voluntarily to &c
cept But there would be this differ
ence." it points out-"A cut could be
hedged with stipulationS for a restora-
On of the old higher scale as soon as
business conditions might justify"
The st. Louis Times says: ANY one
familiar with the character and ear
neStneSs of the men who make up the
great railroad brotherhoods probably
feel that they are giving very serious
attention to the problems that con-
front their employers. Thousands of
these men have been in the railroad
families so long that they feel, as they
are, real part Of them which fact
will have a sympathetic influence"
Referring to the several scapegoatT
blamed for the rail crisis, the Balti-
more Evening Sun recalls: The rail-
roads have blamed the employees, the
employees have blamed the investors,
the investors have blamed the Inter
state Commerce Commission, some
members of the commission have
blamed trucks and buSSes-almost
by some one"
The Fort Worth StarTelegram finds
much at fault in the 'recapture clause
of the transportation act of 1920. This
paper says: The clause requires the
roads to give up all profits in excess of
per cent Its purpose was to empha-
size the community interest among
railroads and to provide funds for the
benefit of the weaker lines 1t was ap-
proved by the courts, but has proved a
disappointment in practice. 1t has
hampered and discouraged the stronger
lines without benefiting the weaker,
since there have been few instances of
excess profits. In times of prosperity
the recapture provision has operated as
a bar to accumulation of reserves for
use in periods of adversely. 1t is di-
rectIy responsible for a large part of
the railroads rate troubles at this
time"

Small Package Deliveries

Carry your own packages! Such is
the request made by the merchants of
this city Of those who are now doing
their Christmas shopping" Not all
packages, or all purchases, but those
that can conveniently and safely be
borne in hands or arms. Secretary
Shaw Of the Merchants & Manufac-
turers' Association, in voicing this pe-
tition of the vendors of merchandise
in the Capital, says that the self-de-
livery of small wares is safest and
surest, at this season. This is unques-
tionable. The bulky parcels and pack
ages are the easiest to deliver. The
small ones are the easiest to lose in
the course Of mass delivery Conse-
quently, despite the greatest possible
care on the part Of the delivery sys-
TENS OF the stores, there are many de-
lays and disappointments and some
actual losses. The load on the deliv-
cry systems is tremendous. There is no
occasion for wonder that some things
are lost or delayed in transit between
store and home.
Parcel carrying Is not popular There

Garages and Parking.

Col. Ulysses S. Grant Sd, director Of
Public Buildings and Public Parks, sug-
gested the obvious solution Of Washing
tons parking problem when, in an ad-
dress before the Arts Club, he pointed
out that the construction of garages
must go hand in hand with restrictions
on parking. These two factors must
indubitably be linked in any plan to
clear the streets Of the National Capital
Of standing vehicles One OF the weak
nesses Of other suggestions for attacking
the parking problem has been the ig-
noring Of the question Of what to do
with the automobiles if they are not al
lowed to stop. A motor car is certainly
OF little use II it must be kept in per-
petuAl motion.
1t is inevitable that sooner or later
parking viii be banned in the congested
section Of the city and perhaps all-night
parking In the residential section The
trend not only in Washington but in
every other large city is distinctly on
these lines. But before any such dras-
tac restrictions are put into effect there
must be sufficient garage space to ac-
eonmodate the cars.
Thh can be gradually brought about
by adding storage space to all new
construction in ofice buildings and the
building Of garages at strategic points
in the downtown sections. In the
residential district garages should be
placed under new apartment build

Revolutionary Rail Rate.

From the Texarkana Gazette. g.
Next Tuesday the Texas g. Pacific
Railroad will institute a low-rate ex-
pertinent in its passenger service that
may have a far-reaching effect on
transportation affairs of the Nation.
On its line between Texarkana and
Fort Worth by way of Paris and
Sherman, and on certain trains west
of Fort Worth, a rate of 134 cents
per mile will be put into effect.
This Is less than one-half the stand.
ard rate of 3.6 cents per mile prevail
ing on the railroads Of America. 1t
will besried for an experimental period
OF six months, with the outcome, of
course, dependent upon the volume of
traffic that is attracted by the new
rate.
With 100 pounds of baggage free, and
half fare rates for children between the
ages OF S and II. this is termed by off,
clals OF the railroad as the cheapest
means OF transportation in the world
today"
From the public's point Of view, 1t Is
an interesting experiment, which will
be watched closely. If part of the
traffic now on the highways can be in
duced to return to the railroads, these

What melancholy mLshaps grow

Promotes a state Of feeling sad.
