A law at Last. President Hoover signed the farm bill yesterday. With a stroke of his pen he brought to conclusion a contest over farm-relief legislation which has run for years. The new law is in the form advocated by the President. It repre- sents a distinct and very tangible vic- tory for the Chief Executive. He had to face the same kind of coslition in the Benate which prevented farm legizlation all during the Coolidge administration. Mr. Hoover was fortunate in that he had strong support in the House for his farm-relief plan—support which Mr. Coolidge lacked. But the Chief Execu- tive has met the first big test to which he has been subjected in his dealings with Congress and has come through 4t successtully. It is one thing to dety Congress and another to obtain from that body legislation approved by the administration and at the same time carrying out the pledges of the cam- The farm b, which, by the way, has European primitive with the Roman and Hebrew traditions that it became a mi | velous tool in the hands of the philo- | sophical and scientific craftsmen of a | few centuries later. Who shall say that the toolmaker is inferior to the builder? Needed Real Estate Laws. ‘The convention in Boston next week of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, to be attended by a large delegation of Washington real estate men, should afford an opportunity for bringing before the national body the need for adequate laws, here in the National Capital, designed to protect the public from fraudulent transactions in real estate. ‘The opportunity*s unique by reason of the pending investigation, by a Sen- ate subcommittee, of legislation needed in Washington to correct certain eon- ditions. Senator Blaine of Wisconsin, who will conduct this investigation, has gone home. He has given no indication of when his investigation will begin, and has Jeft it hanging in the air. In the meantime the National Association of Real Estate Boards, which has been interested in the drafting of model license laws, might be petitioned to throw the weight of its influence be- hind the movement to obtain construe- tive and needed legislation for Wash- ington, ‘The proposed Senate Investigation will be conducted with the sympathetic assistance of the large body of real estate dealers in Washington who have themselves advanced arguments in be- this farm problem thoroughly. He has shown himself in the past possessed of great executive ability. Millions of farmers look to him today to help them, through the administration of the law which has now been placed on the statute books. Many of them be- Neve that Mr. Hoover will succeed. The President has never shut the door to futire and further legislation in the interest of agriculture. He has realized that the effort to benefit the farmer through law is an experiment. Any such experiment may show the way to mew courses which may be adopted with good results. But the final enactment of the new farm law is a milestone. It marks a real beginning. It is a begin- ning that has been too long delayed. But the farm question has been made the foot ball of politics for years. Presi- dential candidacies have been tied into it. But at last a measure has been put through minus unsound and unecenomic mnostrums, with real possibilities of bene- fit to the farmer. Upon that the Presi- dent is to be congratulated. ————t Announcement is made that the Queen of England now favors a rather more modern length of skirt. It is the duty of royalty to conserve tradition; and one of the most important tradi- tions of government is that it is not ‘well to go too far in deflance of popular custom. “The Dark Ages.” A persistent historical tradition has pictured ;that period in the history of Europe extending roughly from the fall ©of Rome to the discovery of America as The phrase seems to have become fixed in literature.

Ford, professor of Romance languages at Harvard, de- alared at the Catholic University com- mencement this week. In fact, the half of legislation. While any business is suspicious of legislative curbs and restrictions, it is to be assumed that the majority of real estate dealers are more anxious to protect themselves, and the public, from the work of shysters than they are fearsome of legislative handicaps to their own legitimate busi- ness. ‘The need emphasized by the ‘real estate men themselves is for a law men and imposing restrictions, violation of which would result in loss of license Buch & law has vesting public demand the most ade- quate form of protective legislation that lies -within the power of Congress to confer. The Gas Company Deal. ‘There is, assuredly, enough -mystery about the passing from local control of the Washington Gas Light Co. to pique the curiosity of the Public Utilites | Commission. Investigation of the en- tire transaction is necessary in the public interest. Not only is the identity of the “group of New York financlers,” who had to run up the price of stock to buy it, an unknown quantity, but their motives are so hazy and they ere stated in such broad generalities that the gas-consuming public of Wash- ington is entitled to know more fully what 15 in the wind. That provision of the La Follette anti-merger act preventing direct or in- direct acquisition of stock in local pub- lic utility corporations by outside util- | ity or holding corporations without the | sonsent of Congress seems broad enough to warrant thorough scrutiny of the gas company transaction. No law can pre- | vent individuals, here or elsewhere, from buying any stock they choose to buy, provided it is for sale. And if the group of New York financiers are act- ing independently and, after a careful survey of the national fleld, decided that Washington Gas Light Co. stock was worth spending a year's effort and premium prices to acquire as a good in- vestment, ‘they may be acting within thelr rights. But their identity and their object should be revealed. The passing from local control of & public utility is not without its danger- ous possibilities. Those in control are no longer swayed by sentiment of the community they serve. Their sole mo- tive is fof the maximum of gain at the expenditure of a minimum of service. | The District is pecullarly fortunate in having congressionally built barriers which should serve to guard against loss of local control. The gaslight deal must be made the subject of searching inquiry to discover whether those bar- riers have been circuitously avoided or whether they still remain standing. ——ee The farmer is now hopeful for a system of genuine relief which will be practical business and not financial theory. A Lowered Speed Limit. the speed 1imit on the short stretch of Connecti- cut avenue near Chevy Chase from languages, the habits of thought | for & dangerous situation—would be de- layed for many months, Residents of the vicinity have bean - | concerned for some time over this inter- section. The speed limit on Connecti- cut avenue was thirty miles an hour. and motorists entering from Albema: street found it almost impossible to get onto the main highway. Similarly, with j cars dashing by at the thirty-mile speed, pedestrians found it exceedingly diffi- cult to cross the street. It was at this point cnly recently that an eight-year- old child met a tragic death. Obviously, the remedy was the in- stallation of a trafic Hght at this important intersection, and the Com- | missioners were petitioned to order its establishment. The traffic gffice, how- ever, had already laid out its schedule, and there the matter rested until the The Commissioners thereupon did the next beést thing and ordered the limit lowered. The new speed limit will prove no great hardship to those living in Chevy Chase. Sinte the thirty-mile limit was established buflding activity on Con- necticut avenue has increased to a point that necessitated cutting down the dis- tance to be traveled at that speed. The stretch now on which thirty miles an hour has been permitted is less than seven-tenths of a mile long, and, be- cause of new buildings in the process of erection, was scheduled for another revision downward, if not eliminated entirely. So there should be little or no protest over the Commissioners’ edict. —————e———— Gemonstrate the value of “efficiency” in enabling an executive so to organize his | dou forces that he personally can take a day off and go fishing whenever he likes. ‘The airplane, the speed car and the eance dre again Summer contenders for the accident record—with the canoe having least claim to excuse on the ground of possible usefulness.

That is the indubitable prospect that faces the country as the Congress pre- | thejr res to recess and then to reconvene August in order to conclude its labors of this special session by passing the Smoot-Hawley tariff law. If the two houses of the should disagree as to the moment when the recess should begin or as to the moment when it should end, the Presi- dent has the power, under the Con- stitution, to declare both houses ad- journed and to order them to come together aj at any future date that is presidentially pleasing to him. ‘This power seems never to have been exercised by any President, but it exists in the Constitution in article two, sec- tion three.

It s not known if the mass of Senators would | physically survive a presidential estoppel of their august activities; but that fact does not ‘diminish speculative interest in the theme.

In the second place, Senator Borsh's tariff idea cannot &rev-u without the help of the Democrats in the Senate and the House both. Numerous Democrats in the House have already proved that they want increased duties on indus- trial products originating in their dis- tricts.
