RATES FACING
NEW ATTACK

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va. Nov. 11.-Power rates assess
ed in Arlington county by the Vir.
ginia Public Service Company
were again attacked today as
Albert M. Jones, chairman of the
Arlington County Public Utility
Commission, announced that his
commission would take an active
part in securing lower and uni
form rates throughout the county
by one of three methods.
Should the Virginia Public Serv-
ice Company which serves the
greater part of Arlington county,
reduce their rates to parallel those
of the Braddock Light Company,
which serves a portion of the
county in the Fort Myer and
Colonial Village area, it is doubt
full if any additional demands
would be made on the utility, ac-
cording to Mr.. Jones.
In the event the Virginia Pub
lie Service Company fails to lower
its rates, however, Commissioner
Jones said that either of two
plans would result in the uniform
lower rates being sought.
One of the plans would be to
have the Braddcck Light Com
pany extend its lines throughout
the county. This plan, however,
has previously met with opposi-
ton from the State Corporation
Commission which failed to grant
the Braddock firm, subsidiary
Of the Pepco, of Washington, D.
c., permission to file a schedule
Of rates for the entire county.
Second, have the county estab-
Hsh a municipal electric plant.

incorporate that, as a municipal
tty, Arlington would have the
power to impose license taxes upon
its businesses and professions. This
argument makes a powerful ap-
peal to business and professional
men and to certain of their
friends. But the great mass OF
homeowners would probably well
come a plan which would shift
some of the burden of taxation
from property to business.
Studied Cities
Several years ago Civic fedora
ton committee, of which I was
chairman, made a study of the
principal cities of Virginia, which
disclosed that in these cities 18
per cent of local revenue was de-
rived from license taxes and other
revenues available only to cities,
leaving but 80 per cent to be raised
through property tax. The aver
age Arlington homeowner would
undoubtedly regard such result
as an argument in favor of, rather
than against, incorporation.
1 was an early advocate of in
corporation. but upon the passage
of the Arlington county manager
act, which provides that only the
county as whole may be annexed
by any city, and then only if such
annexation is approved by ma
jority of the voters of the county.
together with the provision that
the county board shall have all
the powers conferred by general
law on city councils" I was in
clined to believe that there was
Rno longer any very great advan
tage to be obtained by incorporat-
ing.
However, a recent decision of the
Virginia Supreme Court of Ap-
peals, Interpreting the "all powers
Of a city council" provision of the
act, held, in effect, that although
the General Assembly has said
"all" of such powers it did not
mean all" The court specifically
cited the power to levy license
taxes as being one of the powers
exercised by city councils which
the general assembly could not
have meant to confer upon the
county board by the language of
the act.
Questions Law
I am wondering what assurance
may be had that the annexation
provisions of the law will not be
so interpreted by the court as to
defeat what seems to many OF
us to be their clear intent, in
event the city of Alexandria should
again attempt annexation.
It seems to me that Arlington,
as a county. will always be in a
state of uncertainty as to the valid
ity of special powers conferred
upon tan uncertainty which can
only be resolved through the lor z
and slow process of test cases car
ried to the highest State court
On the other hand. there already
exists a great body of court deci-
sions which have largely cleared
away all doubts relating to the
powers of municipal corporations
If Arlington should incorporate,
it would come within the purview
OF all these decisions and its status
as to its powers would be i'm
mediately changed from that of
speculation to one of relative GER
tainty. No longer would We hear
the familiar alibi from the lips
of our county authorities, such as,
eyes. the law saws we have the
power, but some think the law
would not stand up in the courts. "
Later I will discuss other rea-
sons for and against incorporation,
Including a very serious disad-
vantage not yet brought out In
any of the discussions.

DELUGED WITH PROTESTS

LONDON, Dec. 16-Members of the House of Commons are deluged With letters protesting the Sunday night broadcast of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
 The Archbishop, in his broadcast declared that strange it must be said that for such a motive, how ever strongly it was pressing upon his heart, that the King should have disappointed the hopes so nigh, abandoned the trust so great Even more strange it is, that he should have sought his h typiness Tn a manner inconsistent with the Christian principles of marriage, within the social circles whose stan- dards and ways of life are alien to to all the best instincts and tradi- tions of his people"
 The head of the Church of Eng lands castigation of Edwards social circle was also interpreted as refer ence to the so-called fast interna- tional set" with which Edward de- lighted to fraternize- and which in. cludes several wealthy American women who have wed members of the British nobility.
