Capitals Big Expense.

While they have to pay but half Of
the expense of the city government
that half is greater than most cities
of Washington's class impose upon
their people. There are two Reasons
for this. The first of these is that
no other city of its class has SO many
unusual expenses to meet For in
stance, TO other city of its size has
as many square feet of street surface
to maintain: its expenditures for po-
lice protection are S2-a6 per capita,
whore the expenditures of the nine
cities with populations ranging be-
tween 295.000 and 40S,000 average
only s1.ss per capita. Its fire depart
ment expenditures are s1.92 per capita,
where those of these nine cities are
s1.66 per capita Its per capita ex-
penditures for highways are s3.12, as
compared with s216 for the nine cities
of its class. It's per capita eXr"ndi-
ture for charities, hospitals and cor
rections are 1852. as compared with
s1.24 for the nine cities In every de-
partment Of it's activities expenses are
somewhat unusual. this being due to
the fact that the city is the home of

1T follows that even a touch of the
wisdom and foresight of Washington
will lead US to provide for the capi-
tails future.
In many quarters there seems to be
an erroneous impression that the
United States government pays the
entire expense of maintaining the cap
ital city. and. further, that the people
of Washington have their municipal
government. handed to them on sill
Yer platter Such, however, is far
from the truth. In any study of the
National Capital and the relation of
it's inhabitants to the government the
principal fact pust always be kept in

meet all the requirements of the ma
tions capital.
The second reason why the burden
of even oue-half of the expenses of the
city government is heavier than the
total expenses of most cities is that
Washington has but one industry,
which is government, and that indus
try but one product, which is politics.
With no important wealth. producing
industries to swell the incomes of the
people of the capital, with every activ-
Ity discouraged that would detract
from the beauty of the city, per cap
itd ability to pay taxes is correspond
ingly smaller in Washington than in
most cities. Hence ii is that even the

ington rather heavily taxed munich

A Revolving Proposal.

There is something revolving to a

usually expensive scale. from which

How truly Washington is a national
city is revealed by the place OF birth

is represented by a considerable quota
OF people who have come to Washing

That the citizens of Washington have
disinterested enthusiasm for the
identification of the city and for its
improvement in every way ! can per
sonally testify. Many of the measures
for the enlargement of the public facili
ties i'll Washington or for the purchase
of parking, which ought to have gone
through, have either been delayed or
defeated through suspicious of the good
faith of those who have been active in
recommending them
Citizens Maligned.
AS / look back now with my knowi-
edge of Washington. covering nearly
a quarter of a century, I am bound to
say THAT several gentlemen who have
been very prominent in urging con-
gressional action for the government
acquisition of greatly needed land, that
could be had at a reasonable price for
government purposes, have been gross
iy maligned More than that, they have
been sadly vindicated in the disap-
pointment that all lovers of Washing
ton must feel now that their advice
was not followed.
The fact that the residents of Wash
ington, now grown to $4,000 in num-
Der. are deprived of local self-govern-
ment imposes a sacred obligation on
Congress to see to it that they do not
suffer from such deprivation.
The people of the United States love
Washington. They are proud of the
city. When they visit the city they
walk upon her streets with con-
sciousness that she belongs to them
and that her dignity and beauty and
the grandeur of her buildings are an
expression of her sovereignty and her
greatness.
The educational effect that the arcG
tectural development. OF W aShlnRton
along proper lines will have upon our
people will be most elevating. 1t will
show itself in the plans for the i'm
provement of other cities and it will
cultivate a love of the beautiful that
will make for the happiness of ALL"

Proposed Auditorium.

The proposed auditorium of the Ma

erected on 18th street near NJ, adjofn-
ing the present administration build
ing. the latter being next to the Hub
bard Memorial Hall, which was erected
by the society's first president, Gardi-
ncr Greene Hubbard
For some years the society's lectures,
which have been given by the most
famous people in the world, have great
ly taxed the capacity of New Masonic
Temple, in which they have been de-
livered. 1t has been necessary to re-
peat each lecture, so that a large num-
could do SO, but even by such repeti-
tionS it has been necessary to deny
tickets to many.
Plans for the proposed auditorium are
have been made they have been de-
signed by Arthur +. Heaton. This
architect stated today that the proposed
new building will have a frontage of
80 feet on 10th street, and will be in
the Italian renaissance style, similar
to the administration building and
Hubbard Memorial Hall.
The auditorium is to be distinctive
in style, as are the other buildings
representing the purposes for which
they are intended. but they are also
to be connected" in character
The auditorium. which is to be oval
in shape, is to have seating accommo-
dations for 1000, with wide driveway
approaches, and Is to be modern in
every way, especially as to seats. 1t is
likely that the latter will be arranged
so that they may be taken out if desir-
ed. The building will contain rooms
for library and club use, SO that out
of-town members Of the society when
visiting Washington may use 1t as a
club. The whole group of buildings
will be surmounted by tower, to
serve as central landmark on 18th
street. The completion of the building
would give the society a total build

Pictures Are Wonderful.
Many of the pictures in the magazine
show the qualities of paintings, so well
has the art work of making and re-
producing them in color been done, and
to the lover of Washington and its
beauties they inspire a charm and al
fectionate appreciation. The Capitol
is shown in a setting of winter land
scape at night, the White House, amid
green lawns, is a spring scene;' Con
tinenta1 Hall of the Daughters of the
American Revolution is another spring
scene, and the Pan-American Union,
the Public Library, the Congressional
Library and other familiar buildings
and scenes of Washington are shown
in new pictures that must come as
dweller in far-off places who is not
familiar with the capital.

came about. and points out how much

tory of the capital, he launches into

''If the National Capital continues to

then. however. it will be very much
smaller than any of the leading capi-

Scovil Breaks Nose in Saturdays

Scovil Breaks Nose in Saturdays Game and May Be Out for season.
 New Haven, Oct. 25.-To add to the gloom which has been in evidence in the Yale football camp for some time, it was learned last night that "Mal" Scovil, the back field star, had suffered a broken nose in the Wash ington and Jefferson. game. He will probably be unable to play any more this season. Scovirs injury came err ly in the game, but he said nothing of it, and later made Yale's only touchdown. His loss is a severe blow, especially as he had taken LeGore's place, following the latter's disquaI- ifcation.
 The Yale coaches no longer attempt to conceal the seriousness of the sit- uation More coaches are expected here soon, and a conference will be held to consider future plans.
 Other injuries received include a cut forehead by Way, a wrenched shoulder by "Chub" Sheldon, and a muscle bruise of the leg by Won Holt.
