Contention of Federal 0bliga-
ton to Capital Was
Made Early.
JOHN CARROLL BRENT'S
PAPER WRITTEN IN 1914
Applies Precisely to the Present Sit
uation, Citing the Govern
ment's Neglect.

Washington's contention that the United
States should participate in its mainte-
nance is not a modern development. In
deed long before the enactment in 1878
of the statute which the Supreme Court
has styled the Districts organic act the
claim was advanced in behalf of the
capital that the federal government owed
it a large balance on account of i'm
provements and municipal maintenance.
In 1914 John Carroll Brent, granddaughter
of Archbishop Carroll, a graduate of
Georgetown College and secretary of the
Oldest Inhabitants Association from its
inception, and also of the Washington
National Monument Association, wrote a
series of articles on the subject of the
relations between the District and the
United States, one of which, transmitted
to The Star by Thomas Forsythe Nelson,
is herewith reproduced as an interesting
contribution to the discussion now in
progress on the same topic.

Ewing's Proposed Amendment to

PARIS. December 27.-No appropri-

of the delay is understood to be the
bill drawn up by Thomas Ewing, United

is pending before the United States
Senate, and is intended To amend the
Kahn act for the protection of the
models and designs of exhibitors passed
by Congress in September.
Influential members of the budget

Agreement Not Compiled With.

In order TO show that Congress has
exercised but little lberality in it's legis-
lation toward this District and city. l
beg leave to suggest the following points:
In the first place. government, by an I'M
derstanding between the parties, en-
gagged to apply the proceeds of sales of
the public lots toward making streets,
bridges and other improvements, but has
almost entirely failed to comply with said
agreement.
Secondly. Government in addition to
the violation of this understanding, has
paid no taxes on it's property, amounting
10 upward of S7.0tJ.OUO. and scarcely
contributed anything toward District and
city improvements, but has left, although
receiving as a gift from the original pro-
prietors four-fifths of the land covered
by the plan of the city, about thirty
miles of streets and bridges and 1000, 900
feet of paved way, to be paid by self
taxation by its citizens.
Thirdly. The plan of the city, made by
government without consultation with
the settlers, creating avenues and streets
100 to 100 feet wide, and embracing an
area of I,134 acres, necessarily forced
upon the inhabitants the necessity of sup
porting great burdens. OF these 1874
acres. government retained as reserva-
tons Ala for streets, avenues. etc: and
of these T,13i acres, paid the proprietors
but for Oh, at the rate of EOS per acre.
and returned to them half of the build
ing lots 1,05S acres thus keeping J,11i
acres as a free gift.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-12-28
Bound to Make improvements.

Fourthly. Government, having the right
of soil and exclusive jurisdiction in the
premises, was and is bound in conse-
ments, and, in so doing, places this city
under no particular pecuniary obligations,
but simply complies with the dictates OF
duty-equal benefits create equal burdens
and expenditures.
Filthy. As no private efforts or means
could create sufficient accommodations
for government and Congress. by making
roads. avenues, streets, bridges, lighting
streets, etc, etc, the duty did and does
devolve upon Congress and the nation.
Sixthly. The sum of $3.63S, 505 has been
raised from and expended by this city, In
the benefits whereof the government has
had a large share.
Seventhly. Had the government paid
taxes in due proportion from the estab-
lishment of the metropolis to the present
time The amount so disbursed would be
nearly 5000, 900 This sum has gone into
the public treasury, almost entire, with
the exception of the $4,000 expended or
macadamiZing Pennsylvania avenue and
paving in front of and inclosing it's own
property.
Eighthly. Although government has re-
lieved the city, to some extent, by taking
off its hands the principal of the Holland
debt, upon the hypothecation of the stock
subscribed by the corporation in the Ches-
apeake and Ohio canal. to the amount Of
$1.O00,O00 which stock government now
holds as security, still it evinced it's con
fidence in said investment by having
taken a large amount previously, and, "a
the time of receiving the transfer of thu
corporation stock, was considered II
have got at least an equivalent and gooC
security for the advance in question. a
must also be borne in mind that the in
terest paid by the Washington city cor
poration. up to the time of said transfer
must be considered as so much lost, a:
also the interest paid on the money Dor
| rowed to pay that interest, amounting t
S10O 900.

getic.

eEE-KEEPING ON THE FARM.
~ - Ns-ssss slst ep4st &
BY ]. 8. Ward, state inspector Of
Apiaries.

The interest in bee keeping on the
farm is annually growing. More and
more 1t Is being realized that it is
a profitable industry and that it can
be made to yield larger profits for
the amount invested than any other
ordinary branch Of agriculture. How
many farmers make 6 per cent on
their ordinary farm investments?
How many make so or ever rs per
cent on any of the side lines, such
sas Roultry, sheep, hogs, fruit grow
ingk and dairying? In intelligent,
careful Bookkeeping n may double
his investment the first year and
Nhave it all practically clear profit in
the succeeding years. In other words
each swarm of bees in a modern
movable frame hive will cost about
SO, and If given careful, scientific
attention, will yield the first year
from 81 to Sc and sometimes more.
After the first year this annual cost
will be only about so cents per hive
for wax foundation and occasional
painting. A low average income
from each hive from year to year
Will be o 30. A number OF times
l have been censured at the close of
my lecture on bee culture for placing
the annual yield per colony at this
log figure ($5). My compliments
would claim So, $40 and sometimes
SIS and 500 per hive. Such heavy
yields are sometimes obtained in
good honey years and where not too
many hives are kept in one. place.
Take it from year to year the aver
age yield from the large and small
apiaries can be c~onservatively
placed at about IS. Think what that
means when a nan has 100 hives.
Where is there a side line on the
farm that will even equal it?
Again, the labor required to care
for an apiary of 90 or 100 stands is
hardly to be considered, for much of

fold blessings that have been be-
slowed on us and to praise the Su-
preme Ruler of heaven and earth,
and for the preservation of our lives.

to the Deity because the Bible says,
in everything give thanks" and we
are here in the name of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost, and in the bonds
Of friendship, charity and benevolence.
and in the bonds of fidelity and in
the bonds of love, kindness and ODE
dience and in peace with all human
kind, and with the highest adora-
ton to God for the same divine privi-
lege that existed between King Do
nysius and Damon and Pythias, and
the Worthy Matron, who when wick
edness tried to put at stop to the
p%rovidential plan, and when she was
being terrorized and put to death
because she would not tell on her
fellow brother, and for fear that she
would get stupefied and speak that
she ought not to, she bites her tongue
off and spits it in the executioner's
face, and he gave down and wanted
to be one Of the NUMBER say we
ought to he proud that it was handed

pose Of God and especially for the
