TALK ON TRAFFIC
Anacostia Citizens Also
Hear F. T. Gartside and
W. A. Roberts.

Increases in vehicular and pedeS-
trian trafiic in the District and causes
of traffic fatalities were disclosed to the
Anacostia Citizens Association last
night by TRAFFIC Director william A.
Van Duzer.
The increase in traffic was compared
to cities as large and larger than
Washington, while the number OF
fatalities was caused principally by
the pedestrian walking against the
traffic light or "jay walking" he ex-
planned.
Van Duzer disclosed that. purely
as an experiment. pedestrian light"
will be installed at Twelfth and F
streets. Such lights are in use in
other cities. he added.
Following Van Duzer. Frank T..
Gartside, assistant superintendent Of
the National Capital Parks, gave an
interesting lecture on the swimming
pool that is expected to be ready for
use in Anacostia this Summer. The
pool, to be located on the park devel-
opment known as Fairlawn, was made
possible through an allotment Of
$4,000 by the P. w. A. after the pools
located at the Monument Grounds had
been razed to make way for the flood
control program.
Peoples Counsel william A. Rob-
erts then made short address dis
closing facts pertaining to the hear
ing of the Potomac Electric Power Co.
by the Public Utilities Commission to
determine if the initial rate of return
allowed the power company is too high
under the present sliding plan.
Roberts reiterated the stand he took
at the recent Capital Transit Co.
hearing when he requested a uniform
rate of fare on buses and street cars
In the District.
Previous to the address, the asso-
citation adopted motion opposing the
proposed bill that would legalize rae
ing in the District under the pari-
mutuel system. Other business in
cluded the passing of motion to in
crease the personnel Of the peoples

pEMOCRACY,S HANDBoOKS

Thousands Of names on the registration books in
Lenior county ought to be off. Large numbers Of
them are of persons dead moved out Of the pre-
cincts in which they qualified to vote.
One authority tells us the same thing can be
found all the State possibly in every county.
If that is the it is time to revise the books.
1t is not necessary to have new registration, al
though that is well enough at intervals of decade
or two. 1t seems to that the election officials
could, at no prohbitve expense, have the books
carefully checked over and over and the names Of
dead and voters who have moved eliminated. At
ter that it would be excellent move to have the
lists copied in new, uniform books-KinstoR

ToRAcCO POLITICS AND A SPECIAL
SESSION OF LEGISLATURE

James II. Holloway of Raleigh writes
The Charlotte Observer some comment on
the tobacco farmers meeting with Cover
nor Ehringhaus and the attempt to compeI
the Governor to call q special session OF the
LEGISLATURE. We quote from Mr.. Hoiio-
WAYS communication the following:
II !, passing strange that Intelligent men Will
urge the Governor 70 do thing that they Eno" =
not going 10 do what they advocate. Inc nationa!
law is loosely drawn and Il full Of holes as an o.i
Swiss Cheese. The Virginia Compact law Is not
worth the paper il is written on and the law no"
being considered By The South Carolina Legislature
has been amended to death in the House and mas
vet TO pass the Senate. The State Of Georgia mas
made no effort TO PISS compae. i"2:s!atlon me
planting season in Georgia is about veg and from
all reports they have materially inc.c, ID the pres
cnt crop over 1885.
The movement here in NTH Ca-oas IS 20 obEi-
nusly politica! move 70 force the hand Of the Gov
,rpor that no one deceived by It. No sane nan
believes the Legislature would cOriiHe ia delioera-
lions To compact and social legislation called 20

ticians desire is to get the Governor - make tn

calamity to call the special session al this time II
the farmers had any confidence in zach other they
could ge, together here III North Carolina and
make voluntary compact aud pull their o."
chestnuts out Of the fire and and aot call on the
Government 10 make them do by statute what they
should all be willing to do for their own protection
IL is unreasonable 20 call the Government 10
hello those who will not help themselves. The Gov
ernOr stated the case in frank and fearless man
ner and ne paid his respects the promoters Of the
Mass meeting in language that could not be mis-
understood They squirmed around in their seats
under the Gubernatorial castsatiOn and had no
come back Governor Ehringhaus has rendered the
State real service by his stand.
The latest indications are that majority
of public sentiment in the State backs the
action Of Governor Ehringhaus; and 1t Is
reported that many tobacco growers are
receding from their previous ardent de-
mands for special session of the Legisla-
ture When this contest started it seemed
that the Governor might have little active
backing in his position, but he made vail
ant fight, and as far as can be determined
at this time, won decisive victory. There
will be no special session of the Legisia-
ture; and as Mr. Holloway suggests the
tobacco farmers will be compelled to pull
their own chestnuts out of the fire, and the
same goes for the politicians who have
been scheming for a special session.
