ACTION DEFERRED
Sacks, Surprised by 0ppo.
sition, to Seek Strength
of Sentiment.

Surprised by sudden avalanche OF
opposition to his bill to put Washing
ton on daylight saving schedule
Representative Sacks, Democrat, OF
Pennsylvania, announced today he
would make no effort to seek its ap-
proval by the House District Commit
tee for at least another week
In the meantime, Sacks wants every
person interested in the measure to
express his or her views in the form
OF written statements or petitions
which will be considered by the SUBJ
committee appointed by the District
Committee to sound out public senti-
ment on the plan. Sacks is chairman
OF this subcommittee.
To Respect Majority Wishes.
Sacks, personally. said he has no de-
sire to "inf1ict' daylight saving on
Washington unless the majority of its
residents want 1t. II will be guided
entirely by the wishes of the people,
he declared.
Until the public hearing yesterday
Sacks said he had no idea there was
so much opposition to the daylight
saving plan. Petitions and letter,
submitted in advance of the hearing
he pointed out, indicated there was 9
ratio Of about S to In favor of the
extra hour of daylight.
Opponents Active.
Opponents Of daylight saving, how
ever, came out in full force at the
hearing, while the advocates obviously
stayed at home. Only a few Of more
than score of witnesses indorsed
Sacks bill.
Sacks does not plan to hold another
hearing on his measure, but he be.
lieves another week will give public
sentiment sufficient time to crystallize
The subcommittee probably will

SHIFT IN SCHOOL
CONTROL FAVORED
Collins Heads Move to Vest
Appointive Power in
City Heads.
BY JAMES F.. CHINN.

A move to transfer from the District
Court justices to the Commissioners
authority to appoint members of the
Board Of Educa ton was initiated yes
terdav by group of House members
headed by Chairman Collins OF the
District Appropria tions Subcommittee
A bill providing for the change is
expected to be introduced before ad-
journment OF the present session of
Congress
The move is in line with Collins
plan to centralize control of all mu-
nicipal activities directly under the
Commissioners.
Blocked Shift in Funds.
Collins does not believe the justices
OF the courts should have any control
over the public school system. no mat
ter how remote. and for this reason
he effectively blocked some months
ago a plan designed to shift appro-
priations for the courts from the Dis
trict budget to the budget OF the JUS
tice Department.
. Il will never agree to such a plan"
he declared. "as long as justices OF the
court have authority to appoint mem
bers OF the School Board. l will. how
ever, withdraw my opposition and
support legislation for the change If
the justices are willing to give up that
authority"
Collins said he cannot understand
why the justices want to exert any
control over the public school system
"A duty imposed ON them by law. but
which has no relation to their judicial
services on the bench.
Control Now Divided.
Control Of the schools, Collins point
ed out, IS now divided The justices
appoint the School Board members
he explained, yet the Commissioners
control the school budget.
Collins revealed his first step to CEN
tralize control of all municipal activi-
ties under the Commissioners was
taken when he framed the 1898 Dis
trlct appropriation bill. He inserted in
this measure, which is now law. a pro-
vision transferring from the Board of
Public Welfare to the District auditor
authority to audit and disburse all
funds administered through the public
assistance division of the Welfare
Board. The auditor also was given
control of all employees and records Of
the public assistance division.
While 1t Is regarded as too late
IN the present session of Congress to
get any action on legislation to give
the Commissioners authority to ap-
point School Board members, Collins
believes the groundwork can be laid
now and the change authorized early
IN the next session Of Congress, thus
paving the way for placing the appro-
prlations for the courts under the
Justice Department in the 1899 supply
bills.

PALM|SAN0 READY
TO OFFER HOUSE
SMALL LOAN BILL
Commissioners Forward
7 Measure With Plan for
Speedy Action.
AIM OF PLAN TO GIVE
PRESENT LAW "TEETH"
Limit of Interest Rate to ! Per
Cent Per Month Is
Sought.

Another new version of proper
small loan legislation for the Dis
trict-a bill designed to put teeth"
into the present law and drive loan
sharks" out of business-was for
varded to Congress by the Commits
eioners yesterday with request for
immediate consideration
Chairman Palmisaro of the House
District Committee promised to intro
duce the measure tomorrow.
The latest plan of the Commission
ers would limit the interest charged
on all loans of 5000 or less to / per
rent month, and prohibit other
charges against the loan, such as
those usually made for examinations,
commissions insurance premiums, etc.
Computation of Interest.
1t also would require that interest
be computed on the unpaid principal
and prevent any deductions from the
principal + the time the loan is made.
The Commissioners requested that
the new bill be substituted for the
King Allen small loan measures now
pending in the Senate and House
District Committees. This would
allow interest on small loans at the
rate of 2 per cent month The
2 per cent rate, the Commissioners
declared, will prove highly contro-
qersial"
The new plan of the Commits
eioners provides simply for amend
ting the "unsatisfactory' loan act
OF February, 1913, rather than over
hauling that law completely. The
primary aim, the Commissioners said
"is to put teeth into that act and
prevent evasions of its purposes"
Former Small Loan Bills.
The Commissioners pointed out the
small loan bills introduced in Con-
Rress in the last five or six years
would Ak the rate of interest at from
] to 3l2 per cent month. None of
these measures passed, they said,
largely by reason of the insistance
OF certain groups upon a high rate
OF interest and the equally strong
objections of other groups to any
increase in the rate of interest to
be allowed" ~--
The new bill would license small
loan operators on an annual basis
for fee Of $500 each. Violations of
Its provisions would be subjected to
f1ne Of $500 or six months imprison-
ment, or both.
