LIKELY TO APPROVE
JUSTICE BUILDING
House Committee Also Con-
sidering Other Construction
of Interest to District.

Probably the only bill affecting the Dis
trict of Columbia which will come from
the public buildings and grounds commit
tee of the House at this session will be
the Clark measure calling for three-mil-
lion-dollar Department Of Justice build
ing. The committee will report general
bill next winter, and will not report any
big pork barrel measure at this session,
according to present intentions.
More than one hundred million dollars
worth of buildings are represented in the
dockets of the committee room, arranged
in neat and shipshape manner by the
clerk of the committee. Edward Clark.
From this huge sum the committee in
tends to carve a bill amounting to about
s1O,0O0OOO. The attitude of the commit
tee at present is not one that would JUS
tify any one in calling the members
pork barrel'' statesmen. In fact, they
appear to be a trifle tight about spending
the government money.
Big Projects in View.
The committee will have to consider
several big projects affecting the govern
ment buildings here. One which will come
before the committee next week is the
dollar patent office building. Something
will probably be done to relieve conditions
at the patent office in this Congress, but
whether the committee will want to au-
thorize s5,OOO,O0O is questionable.
The Dyer bill for an armory costing
81, 10000 is also before the committee.
Another bill which is gaining friends is
the Cullop measure providing for a half
million-dollar home for the Vice Pres
dent Representative Towner has a bill
providing for memorial building to
commemorate the services of the women
of the country in the days of the revolu-
tionary war.
Representative Bartholdt will urge be-
fore the committee a report on his bill to
| have the United States buy and preserve
in suitable manner the Oldroyd Lincoln
collection. The bill includes the purchase
of the house on 10th street where Presi-
dent Lincoln died, the addition of wings
and the purchase of enough surrounding
land to make suitable approach and
park. The sum of $150,O00 is asked.

Other Construction.

Five thousand dollars is asked for
plans for additions to the Department of
Agriculture, and Representative Carlin
has introduced bill calling for $4,000
for plans for a new bureau Of fisheries,
but the Treasury Department suggests
that when the Department of Commerce
has a building of its own the fisheries
bureau might be housed in that.
Representative Dyer also has bill pro-
viding for a home for volunteer soldiers,
sailors and marines of the civil war.

Urges Single Tax Law.

In urging a single tax law for the Dis
trict. Mr.. Oyster predicted that if Iegisla-
ton of this character is brought about
Pennsylvania avenue will experience a
building boom. New buildings will spring
up everywhere, he said. for then there
will be no tax on improvements.
The speaker urged abolishment of the
personal tax law, stating that this law
does not reach the "gilt-edged" proper
ties, which should bear the burden Of the
tax. but falls heaviest upon poor people.
If the law is to stand ne stated. It should
be enforced with an inheritance tax
measure, which would enable the gov
ernment to get line on a great deal Of
taxa aole property through the institution
of court proceedings in the settlement of

EMPHASIZES THE NEED
OF SCHOOLS FOR NURSES
Bureau of Education States the
Standards Are Rising and
Field Widening.

The necessity for more training schools
such institutions are emphasized by the
federal bureau of education in a state
ment today. There are 1904 such schools
in the United States, about so per cent
OF which are in the eastern and north
central states. In the remainder of the
country only 3o4 nurse training schools
are reported.
Standards Rising. i
According to the bureau of education,
standards of nurse training have been
rising constantly in keeping with the
growing Importance of the. profession
Thirty-four states and the District or
Columbia now have laws requiring ex-
aminations for the registered nurse"
States which have no such laws are Ala
bama, Kentucky. Maine. Mississippi.
Nevada, Arizona. New Mexico, North
and South Dakota. Ohio, South Carolina,
Tennessee. Utah and Vermont The be-
lief is expressed, however. that within
a short time these states will cover the
subject of nurse training.
New and Important Activities.
Training schools for nurses are stead
lily effecting improvements in their work
and conditions says the bureau. THE
professional field of nursing is widening
and embracing new and important activ-
tiles One of the notable developments
in the last two years is the application
of nurse service in ever-increasing ex-
tent TO the public schools

Reviews Taxation Methods.

Mr.. Oysters address. which was on the
subject of Taxation in the District of Co
lumbia-What 1t Has Been and What 1t
Should Be-" dealt with the history OF
local taxation methods. particularly from
the time of the adoption Of the triennial
assessment law in 1902.
Real estate here should be assessed an
nually instead of triennially. he said. The
speaker also urged an increase In the as
SCISSORS force. No three men ever did
make an intelligent assessment and none
ever WILL he declared. THE new assess
ment, which was completed within four
months from the time it was started,
could not have been done intelligently in
four years with the limited force of as
sistants now given the assessor

WOULD HAVE j. S. PAY
MORE IN THE DISTRICT
E. W. Oyster, Assistant Assessor,
Discusses Relation Of City and :
Government.

Asserting that he is not among those
who would have the haif-and-half act re-
pealed. Z. W. oyster, member Of the
board OF assistant assessors Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, in an address before
the Women's Single Tax Club at the Pub
lie Library last night. declared that II he
should favor any changes in this law 1t
would be with the view of having the
federal government pay a larger share of
the cost of keeping up the National Cap
ital.
The present per capita tax imposed upon
the citizens of this country by the half
and-half act amounts to but II: cents a
year, while the per capita tax paid by the
citizens of Washington as their share OF
the cost of maintaining the capital ap-
proximates SIS year, Mr.. Oyster pointed
out. While an advocate of the half-and-
half principle, the assistant assessor said
that he does not regard the law as being
so sacred that it should not be altered.
especially If any changes proposed should
be in the direction of assuring more equi-
table payments as between the nation and
the people of Washington in making this
city the greatest capital in the world.

OUR GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

1t is to be regretted that the las
Legislature curtailed the appropriation
of the immigration department. No"
is our golden opportunity to reach out
after settlers across the Canadian bor-
der. A little missionary and field work
now would bring good results. Nat
urally we will get a good influx OF set.
tiers this spring without much effort,
but the time is ripe for aggressive
measures.
North Dakota wants settlers more
than anything else. Thousands OF
acres are available at reasonable
prices. The land men should hold a
general convention and discuss ways
and means Of cooperating upon some
general plan of attracting settlers.
There are thousands of American citl-
zens who expatriated themselves a
few years ago who are now more than
ready to come back. Some of them
have come back while others can cas-
lily be persuaded to return to the land
of their birth.
Our immigration officials should de-
wise some scheme to take advantage
Of this exceptional opportunity.

NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS.
TWO Brothers Hurt in Runaway-An'
other Was Kicked by Horse,

Alexander, N. D., Sept. 17.-While
Robert and George Childs were driv-
ing home in a single buggy, a strap
on the harness became unbuckled.
This released the thill onsone side
and scared the horse which ran away.
Although both boys had hold of the
reins twas impossible to stop the run
away. Robert jumped and called to
George to do likewise. George hung
on a little longer, then jumped as a
wheel broke. In the mixup his leg
was broken at the ankle. The ankle
joint was fractured, as was also the
tibula or smaller bone. 1t is what is
known as a Potts fracture. @
This is the second serious accident
which has happened in the Childs
family lately. A few weeks ago Ralph
Childs had his jaw broken, some
teeth knocked out and his face badly
cut by being kicked by a horse.
