as the Prouty amendment to the George
bill. which Is enacted into law, would
literally double the burden Of taxation
in. the District" said Mr.. West.
I'VE now raise by taxation Of real
estate in the District, the sum Of S, 500 COO
year. Under the Prouty proposition
the amount would be Sl.600.O00. Our
total revenue is between s7.000OOo and
$, COCO Under the Prouty amendment
II would be $4.S47,o00 or in round num-
beers $l5. 1000. and this enormous sum
Is to be levied upon 10000 people. one
third of whom are colored and where the
number of wealthy persons is admittedly
small" continued the speaker.
1T il dbhcult to understand how any
one can seriously suggest a degree OF
taxation which Is almost equivalent to
confiscation, and yet. unless Congress
can be made to appreciate the facts
there is danger that 1t Cthe Prouty
amendmenO will receive affirmative
action in the House
1T is asserted that it is unfair to ask

tons made by the Federal government.

tenance and development of tine National
Capital insist upon the other hand.
that the sum devoted by the government
to the support of the National Capital
Is In no sense a gratuity. 1t is a sum
paid in lieu of taxation. for which due
recompense is made. More than this. i
assert that the amount which the Ameri-
can people pay. amount to three two
cent stamps year, Is neither onerous
nor unfair. And / have faith enough
in the interest of sense of justice in the
American people to believe that they do
not. as a whole. make any protest
against national support for the Capital.

vent the landing Of ammunition and
arms at Vera Cruz consigned to Huerta.
The Senator observed that In and

ANCIENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants Of Mex.

The discovery by Henry c. Mercer
of Daylestown. Pa. that the anctent
Inhabitants of Mexico used glazing
process in the manufacture Of their
pottery has revolutionized the views
Of ceramic experts at the University
OF Pennsylvania, and may lead. says
American Art News. to the discovery
of beds of clay suitable for use today.
Mr.. Mercer, who is an expert on til
ing and former curator of the Uni
versity museum, during recent study
Of Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the yan-
ance in workmanship In certain col
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds OF clay, and was surprised to
find that distinct glaze was still
apparent
The ancient Egyptians. says Mr..
Mercer, did not glaze their works. the
Chinese adopting this precaution at
later date to make their vessels i'm
pervious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time, how.
ever. and the use of the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexcans may unfold
interesting ceramics.
