Hearings on Home Rule

II the Senate District Committee supports
Chairman Neely tomorrow in his announced
decision that the new home rule bill will be re-
ported without hearings, it will be because the
committee majority feels that hearings would
cause unnecessary delay and additional delay
would prejudice the chance for favorable con-
Sideration in the Senate.
That is an understandable, if not wholly
convincing, attitude There have been several
hearings on home rule in the past four years and
almost everything that could be said for and
against the principle Of home rule has been said.
Outside the committee itself there has been
little If any shift of opinion regards the latest
home rule bill. Those who have been against
it are still against it and those who favor it
are still in favor of it, If related to the prin-
cipleS of home rule, another hearing would
produce much Of the same testimony already
received
But if this latest one is the version of home
rule that the Senate is going to consider, the
Senators should be sure that it is as technically
perfect as it can be made Testimony as to It's
various provisions, many of them new, should be
invited, If only for the purpose of examining and
clarifying their effect, If they became law, on the
functioning of the municipal government. A
failure to do>this, in The Stars opinion, would
represent an irresponsible sort of omission in
legislative procedure

Three Long Cheers!

1t is not surprising that the Senates drive
on Government chauffeurs and the assignment of
automobiles for the exclusive use of certain Off
cials has finally hit the District Building. The
daily spectacle at the east entrance to the Dis
trict Building of three shiny limousines long and
black, parked in sleek elegance along the curb
while three chauffeurS lounged around awaiting
the call of their masters has not been an edify-
ing one. And it is precisely this sort of display
of official affluence, at the expense of the bur-
dened Taxpayers rather than any substantial
savings, that the Senate is after. The Star does
not believe that the Commissioners have been
guilty of fragrant abuse of their privileges
Nevertheless, the Senate's effort to cut down on
a rather vulgar exhibition in Washington of
bureaucratic opulence is well timed and the pub
lie, which pays the automobile bills, will give
three long cheers.

Templeton Jones has project.
If the Government can institute thou
sands of projects with other peoples
money, Jones says, why can't he get up
one with his own money?
1t is nothing more than feeding his
pet cat Penny with lamb chops.
Penny is very old for member OF the
feline population, about 80 years. meas
ured in human terms:
She has come to that period OF her
life when food does not taste good.
Except lamb chops.
Templeton Jones knew that this
would not be popular measure.
What" he could hear 'em explode,
"feed cat lamb chops, at 40 pound.
when all those people are starving in
Europe?"
What, feed a cat lamb chops when
the boys are in the fox holes" etc.
Jones bowed his head in shame.
Yes, it was terrible about the poor
people In the liberated countries.
God forbid, Templeton Jones thought,
that he ever be liberated Let him alone
in his misery. and perhaps he might
tyurvive, but there seems to not beEnuch
left when a country Is liberated"

Credit Ty Cobb With an Assist

1t was good thing that Ty Cobb appeared
as The first witness before the House Monopoly
subcommittee at the opening of hearings on
baseballs reserve clause Ty Cobb was just what
the hearings needed to arouse a sadly tagging
public interest Only baseball fans have any
idea as to what the reserve clause is and even
they have trouble stirring up any enthusiasm
over the subject at time when more interest
ing matters are claiming their attention. More
interesting subjects at the moment than player
contracts are the sizzling American League pen
nant race, with four teams in the running; the
booming bat of Former Nat Clyde Vollmer, Bos-
tons latest wonder boy; the battle between
Washington and Detroit for fifth place and the
remarkable rise to second place in batting honors
of our own Gil Coan. Those are just few
samples, not counting what is going on in the
Natio6al League. A
So the scheduling of "old" Ty Cobb one OF

baseballs all-time greats df not the ereatest),
to get the hearings of to a headline making
start was master stroke. This way the fans
would be sure of reading about the reserve clause
inquiry-at least up to point. Moreover, from
the standpoint of organized baseball, no better
witness could have been found to defend the "sav-
cry" clause which prohibits players from jumping
from one team or one league to another, without
permission of their owners. Ty himself had
threatened to defy such ban in his diamond hey
day, yet he testified that some such provision is
necessary to preserve the important element of
real competition among teams. without the
clause the wealthiest teams would buy up the best
players and thereby virtually buy pennant and
world championship. 1t is plain, then, that
the reserve clause does have Importance. The
subcommittee can credit Ty Cobb with an assist
in focusing public attention on the problem

This and That

But exactly what has all this to do
with Penny?
That was what the humane Jones
asked himself.
All those abused persons were away
off there, and little Penny, literally on
her last legs. was here.
She had never bombed anybody, she
had never poured flaming gasoline on
anybody, she had not starved any one,
and above all she had not deprived a
single living thing, not even a mouse,
of its dignity.
She had outraged no one, she had
not forced any person to listen when
he did not want to listen, she had not
done wrong in world where wrong
was beginning to be accepted as right.
All Penny wanted of life, in this her
last day, was lamb chops.
And by heaven, said Templeton
Jones. she was going to get lamb chops.
The birds were eating seed and grain
at the feeding stations, the politicians
were eating $100-a-plate dinners at the
hotels, and here was Penny, the cat,
eating lamb chops. ~
And liking them.

They had to be ground up for her,
because she only had one tooth.
IF she wants lamb chops" so said
Templeton Jones, "she shall have lamb
chops"
He could hear the yowls of all these
many persons who always are so solic-
itious how you spend your money.
"What?" he could hear them scream.
PAY for lamb chops, for cat? Give
her scraps"
But she won't eat scraps" replies
JONES' in this dialogue. "She has been
used to salmon, at IS cents a can, and
/ can remember when you could get three
cans for 25 cents. Can you? Do you
know who is responsible for the rise in
price? I think do. But won't say. I
will be coy, like politician.
I'm the meantime" continues Temple
ton Jones. Penny is going to have her
lamb chops ground
So saying he socked nice chop. which
would have fed whole family In Europe,
into the meat grinder.
There you are Penny" he said, and
went away singing his own words to an
old melody. Cpd be with you till we're
taxed again"
