Closing Statement by Mr.. Brownlow.
The concluding statement of the entire
hearing was made by Commissioner
Brownlow, who reiterated his theory that
to remove the half-and-haf plan would
be to remove friction from between the
United States and the District of Colum-
bia.
Now, 1 believe that should the plan
support be adopted, he said. 'it would
| remove the friction by removing the cause
| OF any just or any reasonable com
plaint 1t would remove the reason for
any taxpayer in the District to complain
| because he was overtaxed, if he were
taxed a reasonable sum, such as paid
| by citizens of other cities of like size
and, on the other hand. it would remove
the reason why any member of Congress
should say that the District people were
getting more than they were entitled to,
and do not believe any friction which
/ has not the color of friction. would
amount to much. would be very danger
ous."
1.-The question would yet remain as to
how much the United States and the
federal body should expend in the federal
city," suggested Representative Gard.
| THAT would be a question to be de-
cided each year by Congress, as it is
now decided by Congress-" answered the

When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble.

1913 in the state of New York alone.
Therefore, it behooves us to pay more
attention to the health of these most
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
