between the hours Of u and o'clock.
Visitors From Other Schools.
Not only did the Central school con-
tribute largely to the proceeds, but many
pupils from the other high and graded
schools in the vicinity were on hand to
make the luncheon a success. Commis-
sioner West was there. with the right
spirit and plenty OF odd nickels. as well
as many other men and women well
known in Washington society.
Although a ban had been placed on
costumes by the school authorities, good
viii and generosity more than made up
the deficiency between the ele bOrate
festival OF fun and feasting of last year
and the luncheon yesterday. The seniors
with their cardinal college caps and the
Juniors with their sashes tried to out eat
tho numerous gTeen-cfaG ''freshies," but
the result of the struggle was not Off
cially announced.
The success which attended the ef-
forts Of the young ladies' of the school
last year was so marked thar the annual
luncheon for the benefit of the athletic
association of the school has become

the money raised at the feast this year
for decorations and to pay all outstaad-
ing debts OF the athletic association.
Pretty Girls at Tables.
The ice cream table in the hands Of
the senior class of the school was the
mecca of all OF the hot and thirsty at
the luncheon. At one time 1t appeared
that the young ladies at that booth
would have to cry quits. so great was
the demand for the frozen dainty. but
they managed 10 weather the storm and
get everybody supplied.
The tables on which were displayed

many could not resist. One of the great
est attractions AT the luncheon was the
graced every stand that offered articles
for sale
It was generally conceded that the af-
fair was the most successful that has
ever been held at the Central School.
The young men Of the school were there
with full voices and round chests to
auction of all the leftover articles.

Banks Pay High Rate.

AS further proof - the inconsistency
and inequality Of the present tax laws
OF the District Of Columbia. attention is
called 10 the fact that banks and trust
companies. which enjoy no exclusive
privileges, pay annually on their gross
earnings 8 per cent, a rate much higher
than that paid by public service cor
poratiOns which have franchise monopo-
lies worth millions OF dollars It IS not
proposed by this bill 10 change the gross
earnings tax Of the banks and trust
companies.
AN effort TO secure a statement from
public service corporations other than
street railway corporations was only
partly successful. In the case Of the

The FILIPINOS TELL WHY
THEY WANT TARIFFS CUT

fact that the majority Of the property
owners have their estates eternally
mortgaged without hope Of freeing
them on account Of the usurious inter-
est, which, multiplying annually,
through successive accumulations fin
ally results in the transfer Of the prop
erty to the creditor. Under such irri-
tating impositions, it is impossible for
the farmer to sever the bonds Of his
hurniliating condition Of dependency
upon usurious capital and consequent
ly he does not extend the area under
cultivation for the purpose of increas-
ing his aggregate production, but only
tills the land he is able to with the
small resources at his command, I'M
less he is willing to run the risk Of
being dispossessed of his property at
the end Of few years.
In view Of the difficulties in the way
of the establishment of mortgage
banks by the United States govern
ment itself, the Filipinos suggest that
capitalists should be induced to estab-
lish them by congressional legislation
which will guarantee a profit for at
least the first few years of their exist
ence upon the amount invested in the
same manner as was done by the pro
visions of the act relative to the con-
struction Of Philippine railroads.
