So-called Primary Law
For the District.
IN THE Commissioner legis.
~ lative program is a proposal
to provide the necessary
orderly machinery for holding
quadremial elections in the Dis
trict for the selection of delegates
to the party conventions. Recent
conferences indicate the political
party organizations favor such
legislation.
Sponsors for such legislation, In
the past, have wondered why there
was such apparent civic organiza-
ton indifference toward the pro-
posal. Inquiry develops the infor-
nation that there has been q feel
ing that the matter Of the repre-
sentation in the party conventions
by the District Of Columbia was
entirely controlled by the national
party organizations, and that in
consequence the sponsorship for
such a law should be the party
governing bodies
Testimony before congressional
committees has indicated the
methods used In the District for
selection Of delegates are far from
perfect and are in some instances
the source OF considerable dissatis-
faction. 1t has been very definitely
demonstrated that q general elec-
ton Of any kind cannot be held
without the legal machinery and
the power Of enforcement.
It is believed to be the idea of
the Commissioners that II the re-
quired election machinery be pro-
vided 1t might be utilized on oc-
casion to ascertain the desires of
the people upon many important
questions. To many Of our citizens
it seems strange, to say the least,
that a great community of a half
a-million souls have no legal ma
chinery available for the official ex-
preston Of community opinion. Just
to think of it-a great community Of
American citizens with population
greater than each OF eight Of the
sovereign States and SO politically
dumb as to be unable to do any
thing stronger politically than to
present the Government with
"toothless" petitions. And this in
the Capitalize very heart-of the.
so-called, greatest republic the
world has ever known. Is there any
wonder that there Is a growing
number of District inmates who
say with Andy, the famous radio
comedian, Use regusted!"

Council was formed. The COM
plete plan Of this unofncial City
Council was formulated by the
Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tions and approved by the Com

Many Trade Headquarters Here.

Washington is in class with New
York and Chicago so far as the num-
Der OF its trade association headquar-
ters is concerned, Curtis Hodges. execu-
tive director Of the Greater National
Capital Committee, declared. He
pointed out there are more than 200
such organizations here.
Due to the large number Of re-
quests for information concerning the
new headquarters which have been
established here during the last year,
the Greater National Capital Commit
tee has published a list Of the trade
association headquarters prepared by
the trade association section. mar
keting research and service division,
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce.
The list shows that many trade as
sociations are also acting as the code
authorities authorized by N. r. A. for
industrial self-government activities.
Hundreds of others are represented
through afiiliated fedrations or trade
groups.
There are, in round numbers, 3000,-
900 business firms IN the United States,
most Of them belonging to trade as
sociations, the list also shows.
Due to the large increase In activi-
ties during the new administration, it
is estimated by the United States In
formation Service that more than 26,-
900 additional workers have been
added to the Government pay roll
here in the last two years. Most of
this increase is due to the new alpha
bet agencies, the largest of which as to
employment in Washington are: 5000,
in A. A. A.; 1900, in H. o. L. c.; 1880,
in N. r. A.. and 1000, in P. W. A
Forty per cent of the total employment
in the alphabet agencies is representet
in Washington, Mr.. Hodges reports.

Fewer Exchanges Seen.
The belief that early purchasing tt

exchanges at stores after Christina
was expressed by Sylvan King, chair
man of the Shop Early-Mail Earl
Committee of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association.
THE merchants believe that this
situation is a direct result Of the
record breaking movement which
started late in November to get Christ
mas shopping well under way. or even
completed, in advance of the usual
| last minute rush. AS result, the
shoppers are this year giving more
careful attention to the selection oi
their gifts" said Mr.. King.
Merchants recall that In previous
years the two or three days in1medi-
ately following Christmas were to them
almost a nightmare, as a result oi
their attempts to satisfy customers
who sought to exchange unsuitable
gifts. This is difficult task, as stocks
by that time have been depleted by the
! Christmas rush"
