Hunt's onl/e44er BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Wriler Washington president Coolidge has given Washing ton’s “big business" inter ests an awful jolt. They're dazed, surprised, hurt Just when they were all set to cash in on the wave of "Coolidge prosperity” which they were as-, sured the recent election insured, they find no less an influence than the president himself blocking their way. Washington’s big business is in j real estate. With the limits of the capital i city definitely fixed, it has been i comparatively simple for the real estate ring to boost values. Kents based on these inflated values have become so high that It is next to impossible for the aver age government worker, on the 1 small salaries paid by Uncle Sam, ( to maintain a family in decency. | This situation was curbed, dur j ing the war, by a rent regulation ' law. Following the war, under j pressure by District residents, j Congress continued rent regulation j as an “emergency” measure. The real estate ring, however, 1 pressed its protest in the courts ' and just before Coolidge’s re- J election had won a decision that was heralded as opening the way ' to unrestricted rent increases. ■Rent regulation, the realtors gleefully gloated, was hereafter taboo. Prosperity unprecedented was just around the corner. The most remote areas of the District of Columbia, the word went out in realty circles, had a potential value of $1 per square foot, and should be so valued, j i • * « , ’ fTIHEN President Coolidge spoke X a f ew calm words that con siderably cooled the ardor of the real estate inflationists. * Washington, or the District of : ■ Columbia, be pointed out, was not 1 founded as a city. It wasn't set aside specifically as an area of ■ opportunity for the speculator or { “investor.” - - . The Voice of America. A new f4a.v offered on Broadway prompts the New York World to say : “Its purpose is to go just a little fur ttier than any other manager has gone in presenting the dirty accompaniments of vice. This purpose is covered up in a pretentious mass of moralizing which is as dull as it is insulting to the intelli gence of the audieucr. Mr. Belaseo has tried hard to make himself rich. He has made himself absurd aud contemptible.'’ Os another show offered by Poll's thea ter in Washington. I>, C.. the Washing ton Post says: "Dainty fauc es are incessantly blur red aud Heared by leering ruuendo. by uncout bufoonery and by looseness of the speech and deportment.

Coolidge said, had been reserved as a seat of government for the United Slates. Anything that it is necessary for , the government to do to enable it to function efficiently and economi cally within that area, the govern ment can do, he suggeste.d, under its police powers. If interests other than the gov ernment set up conditions within the District which hamper the government, then those must bo suppressed. The only reason Washington has for being Is as a seat of govern* ment. And any police or regula tory measures that might be neces sary to protect the wellbeing‘of governmental employes, he oplnefl, were perfectly right and proper. As a result of which Washing ton’s real estate barons are more than ever coo! with Coolidge. • * • Looking into th# future, pout- 1 leal prophets foresee among the members of the Senate four or six years hence “Ma’.’t Ferguson of Texas, and Mrs. Nell Ross of Wyoming. This prediction is based on ’the, fact that a governorship is often! a stepping stone to a seat in this upper house of Congress. No less than 24 members of the’ present Senate served terms as governors in their home states. Wyoming, for instance, of which Hrs- Ross is now governor, la represented In both her Senate! neats by . ex-governors—Warren,' RopubHcan, and Kendrick, Demo*! crat. . -s. j • • • ■J Av/ ASHINGTON’S golfing «M- W tingent,« which has been ' . somewhat in the background of recent months, may catch the ; spotlight again after the arrival i of Tsuneo Matsudaira, the new 1 Japanese ambassador.

Thus speaks the voice of America— the voice of good old Anglo-Saxon de cency and honesty. The men to stop this debauching oi the young, this in sulting of American women, tnis defray al of everything so dear to American hearts, are not reformers. They are the comtsou, ordinary everyday run of men who wash their ears and love their wives and children.

Before completion of the hard surface between Charlotte and Raleigh, the cen tral route through Albemarle, Troy, and Sanford was one of great popularity. The shale gravel with which the high way is coated makes it a favorite with | motorists and it maintains its popularity, j It is the shorter of the two routes and ' is further popular by reason of that fact. But a disturbing circumstance has de -juoiv 'jo SMnoissiuruioD aqj, pado|a.v —' ■■ i gomery county, across which the highway runs, have appointed one of the bid-time “speed cops.” They do not give him a salary, but they put him -on the job and leave him to make his pay accord ing to the number of arrests he may make. This means that, an officer has been pat on the road whose pay depends upon the arrests—and automobilists know what, in turn, that means. Motor ing through Montgomery is going to be made a worry for the public. The Mont gomery Herald, published at Troy, fears this method “is bound to have a reae-, tion that might hurt'our community in the future,” and this is a fear well grounded. We may expect to shortly hear of Montgomery travely drying up like a highland spring in a summer drought. The public has learned to avoid the highways upon which are em ployed the self-supporting "speed cop.” I Cost of Stopping Trains and Cars I Amounts- to Millions Yearly. ■ Popular Mechanics.

Surface lines’ engineers say the expense for the same operations on 'street cars is slightly higher, tinder average condi tions, it costs a small fraction of a cent to atop an automobile, but a taxi cab company, operating about 3,000 care, estimates that it spends several thousand dollars a year just to make halts for passengers sod at traffic stops. The roller coasters at the amusement parks usually require one' or more brakemen to slow the cars down from their giddy whirls, and friction brakes must be renewed frequently and kept in constant repair- Kisses of an kinds at the Pastime The atre tomorrow and Thursday.
