Congress and Utilities
Regulation On Appropriation Bills

The cagaon of District officials by members of the sub
committee of the House Appropriations Committee may help
but likely hinder the regulation of public utilities
in Washington.
Activities of the District Commissioners and the Public
Utilities Commissioners rigidy bound by the laws Of
Congress.
The Commissioners cannot 60 behind those laws but ap
parenty those who attacked the local administration the
committee believe that Congress and will do so
There certain fixed rules which govern charged
by public utilities These rules may be largely interests
Of the companies but they nevertheless upheld by the
courts and are binding upon the commission.
Members of the subcommittee advised Commissioner Patrick
that rates. telephone rates and electric rates should be
reduced.
That may be true but it is doubtful if members of Con-
gress are in position to force such a reduction.
Certainly the Public Utilities Commission is not
Further cuts the the gas telephone companies

Perhaps in their interests the companies should make

the telephone company cut its tariffs and the gas company
has recently offered reduction
The dispute taxcab regulation is of long standing
and will be quieted by approaching only from the
viewpoint of the customer The rights of drivers decent
living must be taken into consideration.
The committee wrange indicates lack of confidence
by representatives in the personnel of the Utilities
Commission and in other local officers '.'' .''''
IF such lack of confidence exists and it is justifiabe
Congress has the remedy in its hands.
It very easily set in motion by which the
District Government could be purged of any who found

Such action would be the frank and beneficial thing
It is highly preferable to attack upon the officials
behind closed DOORS with no evidence
It would be much better than to attempt to regulate each
utility while preparing the District appropriation bill

was orbic; his horizon cosmic.
He saw things in terms of uni
versals. It was fortunate for
him and for the world that he
was not hampered by adherence
to any particular school Of phil
osophy.
Newton was a man of wide
interests, being not only a
mathematician, a physicist and
an astronomer, but also chem
ist, a theologian, manager of
the British mint and a member
of Parliament. Like Einstein
today, he shrank from public
controversy; and it was only
with great difficulty that he
was induced to publish certain
of his scientific discoveries.
He was a seeker after unity,
universality. perfection of Scien-
tific knowledge; and he was not
interested in publishing by
piecemeal, as scientists do
nowadays. He preferred not to
publish his results until they
were complete. and, as he be-
lieved, unaSsailable.

In certain scientific circles
nowadays there is a tendency
clearly discernable to decry the
contributions of Sir Isaac New
ton. It is customary for those
with a smattering of knowledge
with whom the world seems
cluttere,. as never before) to
speak of the dethronement OF
Newton.
Einstein is frequently said to
have overthrown the system OF
Newton. Stress now is put upon
a single one of Newton'S con.
tributions-the law Of universal
gravitation. Had Newton never
formulated this law, he would
nevertheless be regarded as one
of the e eal scientists of history.
It is well not to forget those
other contributions of Newton
which played such important
roles in the future development
of science.

brain of extraordinary facility

God, Hold Me Steady!
God, hold me steady!
Keep me seeing straight
Through all the darkness
OF these treach'rous years.
I learned in childhood
Certain clear cut rules;
Was taught that some few
things
Were always right
Strong, simple things
Like honor, kindliness,
Clean living, courage,
Generosity,
And faith in You.
These things, they told me,
Were worth all they cost,
And would withstand
The shock and shift of Time.
But now-I wonder;
Now I am dismayed;
For all things change,
And have lost Your hand.
The past has vanished
With it's simple code.
The present whirls around me
In a fog.
I tumble blindly,
Fail to find light
And cannot, sometimes,
Tell the Wrong from Right.

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

And, from the turmoil,
Voices mock and sneer,
And ask what honor buys,
Or decency.
They cry: 80 get 1t
while the getting's good;
you've but one life;
Don't throw this chance away!
And other voices,
Soft and snakey wise.
Uphold new standards;
Say: THE times have changed.
Your fathers code
"Was proper for a child,
But now, you're older.
Turn from fairy tales
"And dare to. face
"The ruthless facts of life"
And so I falter.
Wond'ring where to turn,
While, through the fog,
The tricky half-truths burn
Like will-o'- -wisps
Above a quaking bog.
God, hold me steady!
Help me in my plight!
And in the darkness
Set your laws alight,
Like steadfast stars.
To guide me safely home.

ONCE-OVERS
Nervous Errors

nervous ErFOrS
Do you have periods when
you make many mistakes?
The harder you try to be &C.
curate the more errors creep
into your work?
You are in doubt about mat
tiers, become nervous where you
should be positive in action and
you wobble mentally, conSe-
quently physically.
You find the same condition
exists in your recreational pc
RODS.
You are a very uncertain part
ner in a game.
Probably your nervous system
is not under control.
Having made errors you think
too much about the mistakes
you have made to correct your
physical condition. as you
should, to be able to concentrate
on what you are doing.
Calm down first; then you
can think clearly.
Until you can master yourself
enough to relax and calm down
you will continue to mortify
yourself and annoy your asso-
ciateS.
There is nothing you can do
which can justify the purely
nervous state in which you find
yourself at times.
Easier said than done, you
think when you are told to
key down"
If you are the boss of this
sort of person, don't talk to
the victim in a way to aggra.
vate nervousness but give your
instructions in a cool and SIM
pie manner and lessen the ten
sion Of the person under you.

Background

Aren't you satisfied with sur
face showing and not at all
anxious for anything which is
complete in it's thoroughness?
If you have children you
want them to make public ap-
pearances?
If they "speak a piece" well
enough to win applause you
don't favor a course to ground
them thoroughly in dramatics.
You are unwilling to pay for
a course which means founda-
tional work.
And it is foundational work
that makes them competent to
build later.
You are selfish to the extent
that you want to save your
pocketbook now and forget that
you are also cutting down their
future remuneration.
If your children have musical
ability you complain if their
teacher does not have them
playing solo" within a short
time. ..
To be merely drilled on a Sc
lection does not provide a
groundwork which is necessary
if they want to be artists in
music later.
But has this not been your
attitude in regard to your own
appearances?
You want to be coached to
do most anything and do not
realize that the time in coach
ing is wasted when develop
ment is needed.
With you, a SmatterIng Of

Reeves of Tennessee defeated
for reelection because of
his support of the Admin
istration s power policy, re-
turned to Washington after
his defeat to lead the fight
for that policy in a lame
duck session, it was too
much.
Senator Norris is to be
congratulated on his de-
served victory. For a long
time his was a voice cry
ing in the wilderness, and
with no answer but a cry.
But the American people,
interested enough in their
Government to think on the
subject, have been behind
him all the time.
The States should vote a
ratification of the proposed
constitutional amendment at
the first opportunity.
Our governmental system
is less responsive to the will
of the people than that of
any other country claimed
to have democratic institu-
tions. This amendment will
help make it a bit more
responsive.
For generations it was our
boast that in America we
had established a govern
ment "of the people, by
the people and for the peo-
pie and we turned up our
noses at England. Today
the government of England
is far more responsive to
the will of the people.

Jeffersonians Were
Mere "Demagogues"

The ugly truth is that the
mass of the people, even in
our country, usually have to
wait until a campaign is on
to hear pleasant things said
about them. We have been
glancing over the debates of
the First and Second Con-
crosses, and even thu en-
Statesmen" were impatient
with pleas for the mass of
the people. Some Jefferso-
nian rose to protest against
a policy which was robbing
the soldiers who had fought
the war for independence,
and Wadsworth of Connect
cut sprang to his feet, thor
oughly outraged, to say that
he was "sick and tired hear
ing about the private SOL
dier."
That was especially sweet
of Mr.. Wadsworth, for this
reason: These private sol
diers had been paid in scrip
promises to pay. Years
elapsed, and they had the
paper, but no money. Then
Hamilton planned the fund
ing of the debt - viii ch
meant the redemption Of the
scrip at a hundred cents on
the dollar.
The private soldiers, scat
tered over the wilderness
and knowing nothing Of the
plans at the Capital, still
thought their scrip worthless.
Some business men and
statesmen knew better.
These, including Wadsworth,
chartered fast-sailing vessels
and trucks, loaded them
down with money and sent
agents securing the woods
and hamlets to buy up this
scrip at 10 cents on the dol
lar. The "heroes" of the
Revolution thought tn ey
were lucky; but the "high
placed" and "well born"
knew they were robbing the
heroes of 80 cents on the dol
lar. That crime was the
foundation Of some American
fortunes.
The Jeffersonians did not
like that business, and said
so; but it was quite generally
agreed in the best circles
that they were mere "dema-
gogues.
I have just been reading
the Life of Lord Rose
berry" by the Earle of
Crewe. The brilliant but
inexplicable English orator
and statesman was one of
the gods of my idolatry
when a boy. 1t is both an
inspiring and pathetic tale
this story of his life. 1t
was astonishing to find that

favorite of the court and an
intellectual, thought one OF
the primary functions OF
government is to better the

Trying to concentrate on a
kiss and a steering wheel at
the same time, is about as dan

In both cases, the result is likely

TINE Senate has passed
l. the bank bill for the re-
lief of business. It has def
nitely determined that, as
far as Congress is concerned,
there shall be no direct re-
lief for the millions who are
starving. SO that is that.
There were Objectionable
features to the La Toilette
Costigan bill-which would
have created another Fed
eral agency or bureaucracy ;
albeit there appears to be
no objection to the creation
of another Federal agency
to distribute two billion dol
lars in loans, which may and
may not be paid back, to
banks and railroads and cor
porations-in secret. To
meet the objection of a bu-
reaucracy in the relief meas
ure, Senators Walsh Of
Montana, Buckley of Ohio
and Black Of Alabama, in
troduced an amended bill,
but this, too, was defeated.
The municipalities have
reached the end Of their re-
sources; private charity is a
dismal flop;, States are not
acting or are unable to act;
and so the devil take the
hindmost. The President s
promise that no one in
America shall be permitted
to starve was given in the
Pickwickian sense; Wednes-
day three old men fell dead
from hunger and exposure
in New York City.
Women and children are
starving and will starve-
but we must maintain 1.-THE
principle. :" The american
way" it seems, is to blum
der along with stupid eco
nomic policies and special
class legislation for the ben
eft of the powerful until a
crash comes, and then turn
our backs on the innocent
victims Of the tragedy.
