Philippine independence

Independence about the last thing the Filipino people

pines from handful of native politicians who want to

States protects them from Japan.
These eloquent gentlemen usually have the floor in Wash

BY propaganda they have succeeded in getting
control of nine -tenths Of the insular government
What they aim to get is complete control-w1th a

A Wise Compromise
Power Consumers Will Benefit

The compromise reached by the Public Utilities
and the Potomac Electric Power Company the amount to be
used as the basis for rate reduction shows the WISDOM OF
which commission has been following in setting aside
the old consent decree. .
Il is to be regretted the commission unable at this
time because of litigation to give to the consumers the 1u
benefits of its recent order setting new sliding scale
able do the amount available for rate reducon
would be about 81 100000.
As commission has compromised figure of about
$S60000.
compromise figure however is about more than
would have been available under the consent Decree
That the direct saving which the commission has been able
to give the public this year electric current rates
The result will be that the primary rate for current will be
cut to about 36 cents from a. the present charge.
The commission undoubtedly acted in the best interests OF the
public generally when accepted the compromise instead OF
waiting for months to the full benefit Of its
order.
There should be weakening in the fight to estab
Nsh that order in the courts .
The compromise be remembered is compromise and
nothing
does attempt to settle permanently the question OF the
rate which the company shall be allowed to arnor the tariff
which the public shall pay.
The Potomac Electric Power Company to be congratulated
upon in proposing the present arrangement
It has shown consideration for its customers which cannot
help but enhance the goodwill felt toward concern which Is
rendering excellent service.

The La Toilette law present written does not pre-
serve the principle.
There many loopholes in it that shrewd utility

trouble in gaining control of the local companies
Those charged with enforcing the statute declare that it
is unworkable.
Some of them would like to see it repealed.
It's neffecveness in its present form has been clearly

nevertheless.
In occasional instances this outside ownership has not done
any great harm.
In other instances have the outside try to

not meet the situation which it designed to cover.
Congress should again consider the matter the light Of

"No One Shall
Starve in America :"

The taxing power of the
Federal Government is to be
used in the interest of pri-
vate institutions. Senator
Robinson made a sharp COM
ment on that:
''It seems to us to be most
inconsistent to say that it is
sound and wise to use the
Federal taxing power for
the aid of private institu-
tions, but neither sound nor
wise to use it for public in
stitutions."
Or it might be put in an
other way. Why is it sound
and wise to go into the
people s Treasury for money
to aid money-making insti-
tutions, but vicious to go
there to aid women and chill
dren who are hungry and
starving9

Are We Going Back
To the WallOW?
Bu Claude G.. BOWers

TT is reported that the
1President, t, who "is
known to have felt that geo.
graph ic al considerations
should govern the selection
of Justice Holmes success
sor," has about concluded
"that the selection Of a lib
eral is as important a fac
tor as geography" This
conversion to the right idea
is credited by the corre-
spondents to the fear that
the naming of anyone not
a liberal will mean the
failure Of the Senate to con-
firm. We hope this is true.
The American people are
not in the least concerned
about geography in the mat
ter.
The two outstanding lib
erals of the Supreme Court
who have had the absolute
confidence, and even aftec-
ton, of millions, Holmes and
Brandeis, come from the
same State-Massachusetts.
In view of the common
note struck by the comments
of the national press on the
resignation of Holmes it is
astonishing that the Presi-
dent did not realize from
the first that it is more i'm
portant to name a liberal
on social and economic
matters than to consider
geography in the selection.
If a reactionary Is ap-
pointed the refusal of the
Senate to confirm would
meet with universal ap-
prOVal.

Senator Copeland's
Interesting Reply

There was an interesting
discussion in the Senate the
other day, apropos of the de-
bate on the amendment to
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation bill, to permit
the loaning Of money to mu,
inequalities that are rich and
have a perfect reputation for
meeting til cir obligations.
The bill provides a fund OF
$4,000, 100000 from the
peoples Treasury to be
loaned to financial institu-
tions.
In opposing the amend ID;
ment, Senator Reed saw tit
to slur New York city and
Mayor Walker. Many will
think Senator Copeland's
reply interesting:
Its no worse for Mayor
Walker to ask help than for
us to be giving aid to the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
Senator Reed replied that
he was not interested In the
Pennsylvania Railroad so
much as in the stockholders
who bought stock to make
money; and the a answer
might have been that there
are more than 6,OOO,O 600
stockholders of the munich
pality of New York city;
that almost a million are
jobless; that hundreds of
thousands. of these are not
worried so much about divl-
dends as about bread; and
that the whole burden OF
preventing starvation has
been repudiated by the Ad-
ministration and put on the
city.

have needlessly squandered

the victims of a common

Cities Can Do
No More

Now most of them have
reached the end of their re.
sources and can do no more.
And there are just as many
starving children, just as
many eyictions from shelter,
just as many jobless men in
need of aid as ever.
If the smaller govern
mental units have reached
the end of their resources;
if the banks will not loan;
if the Federal Government
will not help; if, as appears
to be the case, the cOntribu-
tions from individuals do
not approach the need, we
should like to know if these
unfortunates are to be left
to their fate by the richest
country on the face of the
globe.

there is a disposition to
frown on such suggestions.
