A Foolish Demonstration.

Any great inconvenience to the
citys visitors that may result from
the taxi strike" called without warn
ing and without visible Justification, is
of course 10 be regretted. If the taxi
drivers refuse to furnish tranSporta-
ton, however, other agencies will re-
double their efforts, as hospitable
hosts should, to prevent any serious
difficulties.
AS for the strike itself, it is diff
cult to find any substance TO the
taxi drivers complaints, so far made
known, that are not founded on
rather curious emotion. aIlSm. Wash
ingtors taxi drivers are less ham,
pered by regulation than IN any
other large city Of the country. They
fix their own rates. The basic regu-
latlonS regarding rates are that they
be posted conspt"uously on the cabs.
and that they be fled-ten DAYS in
advance of any Change-W.th the
Public Utilities Commission. The
meek and defensoleSs general public
has usually paid what was demanded
and asked no questions
Last week Peoples Counsel Roberts
issued a timely and legitimate state
ment. advising the visiting Shriners
of the existing rates and informing
them to be on guard against the
"chiSelers.' The statement was mani
festlv designed 10 protect the vast
ma Jority of taxi drivers-some 1000
Of them-Who had given no intention
of raising their rates. as well as to
protect the visitors. A small number
Of drivers and operators had filed in
tentlon 10 raise rates during the con-
vention. Mr.. Roberts statement in
formed the visitors of the prevailing
rates and told them il was within their
right 10 insist on the rates as ad-
vertised.
The statement has been resented
and is given as one factor leading to
the precipitate and unreasonable
strike. At the same time. the free
transportation provided by the hosts
for their distinguished visiting off,
Gals, together with radio warn
lngs against being victimized by
'chlSeling' drivers. have been inter-
preted as further cause for a strike
demonstration
The Shr1nerS will be here only a
few DAYS. The taxi drivers expect TO
be in business permanently. What
they may have anticipated as gam
transported ton facilities are in de-
mand. is a deep mystery. For the
taxi drivers do not want to ALLEVIATE
public sympathy, which, in large de-
gree has been theirs. They do not
want to lose their good standing as
cooperative members of the COM
munity by taking advantage of an
emergency. But they will gain little
sympathy and little support If they
embark precipitately upon an unrea-
sonable course
In the meantime. the vast ma joritv
of the taxi drivers will assuredly do
all in their power to prevent a few
hotheads from engaging in violence
or disorder, of which there have been
q few isolated instances.

Former Senator Charles Deneen Is
here as the chairman of the Illinois
delegation. Illinois. which a rev
wears ago was one of the banner
Republican States, has fallen into
the hands of the Democrats almost
completely. The Republicans have
real lob in this State. One of their
chief difficulties is the plethora OF
party factions and guerilla warfare
in which these factions are constantly
engaged. All of these factions hao
to be taken care of at the conference.
The consequence Is that each Illinois
delegate has one-sixth Of a delegate
vote. The apportionment of delegates
to the States taking part was Is for
each congressional district. Under
the split delegate vote Illinois has
90 Republicans from each district and
more than a third Of the personnel OF
the convention.
The delegates to the conference
were welcomed at their opening ses-
sion by George w. Bum, chairman
of the local committee. 1t was pc
culiarly fitting. His uncles financed
the campaign to nominate Abraham
Lincoln at the wigwam convention IN
1860. He told the delegates:
For Is years this was Abraham
I,incoln's home. He walked the same
streets you have walked in coming
to this place of meeting-many OF
the homes and stores he visited are
still standing-our fathers and moth
ers knew him-we in Springfield like
to think that something of his spirit
is still here. May the inspiration that
all good Americans derive from him
animate your thoughts and delibera-
tons"

BY the Associated Press.
Hearings on the omnibus banking
bill were tentatively closed yesterday
by the House Banking Committee
with the understanding, however, that
few additional witnesses might be
heard next week.
On Monday, the committee will be-
gin reading the voluminous and highly
technical bill for amendment. Chair
man Steagall declined to estimate how
long 1t would be before the commit
tee was ready to present the measure
to the House.
There were indications that num-
erous changes would be made, par
ticularly in the provisions of the
measure strengthening Federal con-
troll over banking.
Committee Republicans were in
favor Of eliminating that portion en-
tirely, but had little real hope of
achieving that end.
