CHICAGO, March 5.—Calling for rentals ranging from $30 a month for stove-heated tats without electrical €quipment to $140 for modern seven- room apariments in average neighbor- | Foods, the fair rent schedule adopted by the Chicago real estate board to- day was the target for criticism and rid! ulc by offigers of tenants' leagues organized to combat high rentals. “From what I have gleaned of those rent schedules they are aimed to in- e $e rents rather than to reduce or regulate them,” said J. R. Patterson, presidert of the Chicago Tenants' Protest League. “The schedule comes after March 1, the lease signing date, and it Is certain landlords will take advantage of the top rental figures given in the list.” The zone schedule divides the city into six districts, and apartments are listed in two general classes, those with heat furnished and recentiy built and those with heat not furnished and of older type, with a graduated scale for from four to seven rooms. In adopting the rent schedule pro- gram the real estate board also adopt- «d a resolution condemning rent reg- ulation legislation.

Election News Service, Which Cuts Short_National Suspense in Presidential Years, 1s Wilmer Stuart's Monument. The recent death of Mr. Stuart, head of the market and statistica department of the Associated Press, and the inauguration of Mr. Harding make timely the statement that to the former more than any other in- dividual belongs the real glory of having devised and constructed the intricate and effective system by which the newspapers receive the news of national elections. The explanation of the nopular remarkable in itself and vet mon that in an ference to the formalities at Wash- ington (the rite of counting the votes of the electors February 8) is to be found in a casual comment ed modestly in a news dis aling briefly with the offic s article says, in : “The formal vote as lied with the informal re Known to the public the day election.’ fter calling attention to the hit- miss method of procuring return with necessary omissions and dupli- cations, obtaining some years ago, the article goes on to say of Mr Stuart and his scheme: Mr. Stunrt's Schem “He adopted what was practical in the existing system and graduatly worked out a plan that is identical in its operation in the states throughout the country.

Congress has learned that President Harding meant to be taken literally when he said that during his admin tration it would be his purpose to “sit down” with the committees of the Sen- ate and House of Representatives to work out agreements for the expedi- tion of the public business. Washington still was gasping today over the friendly audacity of Mr. Harding in attending an executive s sion of the Senate a few minutes after he had taken the oath of office. Wood- row Wilson thought he was going to the extreme limits of executive privi- lege in formally addressing the Con- gress in public joint session. Mr. Harding, it must be admitted. knows Congress better. He knows that public appearance of the President in House or Senate may have a telling psychological effect upon the people at large, but such appear- ances generally have left senators and representatives more or less cold. Mr. Harding does mnot feel that real co- operation with Congress grows out of formal speeches. It goes much deeper. The big work of Congress is in the committees. These committees are all- powerful. For the most part they make or break legislation. “So Presi- dent Harding is going to work with the committees and with the Senate in executive session when necessary. President's Purpose. By this single stroke Mr. Harding took Congress back to mormalcy with a vengeance. Back of the President’s first and most unexpected step was an intention to challenge right at the outset of his administration the {friendly co-operation of his former colleagues. Mr. Harding had told these colleagues that he wanted to work with them in the closest pos sible harmony. Tt was distinetly up to the Senate, then, to prove that it reciprocated these friendly feelings {and would do its share to bring the {public business back to a sane and normal basis. Mr. Harding, furthermore; had heard there was to be a row in the Senat over the nomination of Herbert Hoover to he Secretary of Commerce, and that possibly one or two other prospective members of his cabinet might_be held up temporarily as a sort of mild protest over the appoint- ments by two or three senators. Some of Mr. Hoover's closest friends were i perturbed over the published reports that Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali- fornia, implacable foe of Hoover, who dared to oppose him in the California primaries last spring when the re- publican presidential nomination was At stake, would ask that the nomina- {ion be not acted upon until he could have time to prepare a case against the former food administrator. These same reports had said that Senator Jeeed, democrat, of Missouri, who fought Mr. Hoover openly and vigor- ously from the moment he assumcd direction of the Food ~Administration during the war, would aid and abet Senator Johnson in throwing a monkey wrench into the cabinet cir- cle. Expected Row Over Cabinet. If there was to be a row, President Harding wanted the Senate to know exactly where he stood. He had se- Jeoted his cabinet with the greatest possible care and had reached de- fisions as to each member of it only after weighing the pros and cons With infinite pains. There was a par- ticular reason, he argued, for _the presence of each man on the cabinet Slate. So, without disclosing his in- Lention to even' the most intimate of his friends, he asked the Senate to meet him in executive session and calmly waited in the President’s room until a quorum could be assembled. Mr. Harding then told the senators plainly that he wanted to go to work. }ie feit the government had been at a standstill long enough. To work efficlently, Mr. Harding said, it was necessary to have a complete cabinet about him. A ls cabinet had been selected, and Mr. Harding added that he felt de- pendent upon each member of it. Senators who have been in the public Service for many years could scarcely believe their eyes when Mr. Hard- ing. entirely at ease, did the un- precedented thing of taking a picce of paper from his pocket and reading To the Senate the names of his cab- inet. s Sweeps Senate Off Its Feet.
