Mr.. Hahn's View.

What Washington needs is factories
and there is no reason why we should not
have them" said Mr.. William Hahn.
There is plenty of land along the river
in Georgetown as we'll as along the East
ern branch and in the suburbs, that can
be bought at a low price, which would be
splendidly suitable for this purpose.
There is great deal of surplus labor
here that needs work and could be Sc
cured at a reasonable price. Aside from
this, rents and the cost OF living are about
as cheap here as in most other cities
of the United States-and certainly a
great deal cheaper than In such large
manufacturing centers as New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago.
Our shipping facilities compare favor
ably with most cities. and are certainly
FAR superior to most interior manufacture
ing towns. AS there is an impression
abroad that Washington does not want
manufacturing enterprises, our business
organizations should let the country know
to the contrary.
Manufacturing will not only be profit
able to our city, but will also tend to
Improve the character of our younger
population; it will give employment to
but have not the opportunity to secure
work.
There Is also capital enough here
anxious to find profitable investment in
industrial enterprises 1t has been claimed
by few that, as this is the nation S
capital. manufacturing should not he en-
couraged here. These persons should not
forget that most of Europe's capitals
such as Paris. London, Berlin, Vienna
and Brussels-are full of all kinds OF
factories, without detracting from the
beauties OF these cities in the least.

The Commercial Side.

Said Mr. George Y. Worthington:
Approaching the question as to my
choice regarding the future of Washing
ton, / must confess that no matter how
much I might desire the capital of our
country to become the most beautiful
city In the world, cannot overlook the
fact that an even share Of the burden OF
maintaining the beauty and grandeur OF
our nations capital must be borne by the
taxpayers and permanent residents of the
District Of Columbia, hence, as one of the
residents. 1 am compelled to view the
future with an eye to the utilitarian side
of the question. I take my stand firmly
on the side of commercial Washington
