Keeping the District Out of Debt.

When the House comes to consider the
federal loan to the District 1t should care
fully weigh the relative Importance of keep
ing the District nominally out of debt for
big works and keeping it up to date in all
of its municipal equipment 1t is certain
that the Districts revenue will not stand
the strain of making cash payments for
the large permanent works and maintain
ing the necessary current budget increases
at the same time. 1t is out of question to
tax the District more heavily 1t is already
taxed to the limit of endurance, far more
heavily than the average municipality, and
additional impositions would result in de-
moralization of the reveIue-producing
agencies. These heavy taxes We're distinct
ly assessed last year to meet extra ordinary
demands, not to keep up the rate of mu-
nicipal growth in ordinary items. There
fore the District is keeping out of debt by
efforts which represent strain on the bust
ness community, drain upon Individual in
comes. and a weakening OF the financial
foundations of the capital.
1t Is assured that as long as the cash
payments for great permanent works are
continued the District can not keep pace
with It's ordinary needs. Something must
be sacrificed every year. Those sacrifices,
Ii must be noted, are in the line of real
needs, not luxuries. If cut off now they
must be put back later. There can be no
permanent sacrificing. And year after year
they will remain as liens upon the Dis
trictS surplus funds. If there are to be no
surplus funds until all the pending great
permanent works are paid for. the day of
reckoning up these accumulated needs will
md the District deeper in debt than though
the local taxpayers had been permitted to
borrow their half of the $40, coo, 900 advance
from the federal government. And this
sort OF debt viii be more pressing than
that to the government, for it will repre-
sent the welfare and the property rights,
the health and the lives of the whole peo-
pie of the District. placed annually and
increasingly in Jeopardy in consequence of
the deDt-avoiding policy
The District is today firm and unanimous
In the belief that the only safe way. the
only just way, is to adopt at once the prn-
ciple upon which every other municipality
IL now advanced. and to establ fund by
means of loan from which all the pend
ing great permanent works can be exc
cuted. and which can be repaid in INSTALL
ments from the normally raised revenues

Terrors of Popular Science.

Microbes in the snow drift
Melting in the street;
Microbes in the clothing
Of strangers that you meet;
Microbes in the street car,
Hiding in each nook
Microbes In your money.
And microbes in your book.
Microbes in the hydrant,
Microbes in the well;
Perhaps you can avoid them
But it's mighty hard to tell;
Let US all be joyful,
There's no excuse to fret;
We must confess we're lucky
That they haven't caught us yet.
