Citizens Committee Head Takes
Exception to Arguments Of
Former Senator Blackburn.
DEFENDS EQUITY OF PLAN
Change in System Means Dis
trict Will Depend on Wkims
of Congress, He Declares.

defending strongly the equity and
practical statesmanship'' of the exist
iLs half-and-half plan. Chairman Henry
p. F. Mcfarland. of the Joint Citizens
Committee, today made reply to the
interview in The Times yesterday of
former Senator ]. c. S. Blackburn. the
father" of the organic act of 1873.
which Mr.. Blackburn now regards as
having served its purpose.
Mr.. Macfarland says the arguments
used by Mr.. Blackburn thirty seven
years ago in defense Of the half-and-
half plan are just as applicable today
as they were then. Any change in n
definite ratio of apportionmcnt OF ex-
penses between the Federal and Dis
trict governments. he says, means that
the National Capital must depend on
the 'whlm and caprice Of each Con-
grcss. and that Congress will whittle
down District appropriations to the
limit.
Antagonistic To Plan.
In The Times yesterday, are now an
tagonistic to- the half-and-half plan
which he fathered more than q third
OF a century ago. He thinks that the
property Of District residents should
be taxed at a fair rate and the re-
turns put into the Treasury, the Fed
eral government spending what it
pleaseS on he Capital and assuming
sole responsibility, minus partner
ship, for its development
The half-and-half plan was approx
imate1y fair once, argued Mr.. Black
burn, but the taxation plan Is now
preferable with the Federal Govern
ment constantly acquiring more prop
erty here.
In reply to this argument Mr.. Mac
farland insists that Mr.. Black burn 3
words of 1878 may be used. Chairman
Mcfarland said:
MIR. Blackburn, who richly deserves
the gratitude of all patriotic citizens
because of what he did to pass the or
ganic act of 1875 containing the half
and-half plan. which made possible all
the progress OF the National Capital.
said In advocating that measure in the
House some things which are just as
true today as they were then. Said Mr.
Blackburn: This Is what l desire to
say: The people of this District have

When blood troubles become so firmly
embedded in the glands and deeper tissues
1t calls for the searching influence OF
S. S. s. to dislodge them.
And there are many reasons why S. S. S.
does this. To begin with, the medicinal
properties of S. S. 6. are derived from semi
tropical drug plants and extracted direct
from their natural state. No other drugs
are added, no minerals, nothing to disturb
the stomach or to create harmful con,
ditions.
Thus ii goes directly into the blood and
becomes at once a medical influence for
prompt and effective repair. This Is i'm.

$3S,OOO REILLY GIFT AWAITS DISPOSITION
National Letter Carriers Assoeia- tloa in QuandaIy Regarding Money.

New York, May 17.-Any one who has a good idea regarding how to spend $s5.0O0 will receive the thanks of the National Association of Letter Carriers. To obtain the thanks it is necessary only to address a letter to the executive board of the association, detailing how the board may rid itself of the $S5, 1000 in cash. and also large solid silver platter.
 A month ago the National Associa- ton of Letter Carriers tried to hand the $35,000 in cash on silver plat ter to Thomas l.. Reilly, of Meriden, Conn, but, being newspaper re- porter, he refused to accept it. MT. Reilly interrupted his Journalistic career long enough to serve four years as a representative in congress. During those four years he did so much for postal employees that when he retired, on March 4, the national organization sent tickets to postal employees throughout the country for testimonial dinner for MT. Reilly in the Seventy-first Regiment armory in his city.
 Balance of $S5,OO0.
 It was understood that the net pro- 'ecds, after paying expenses, would be nresented to MT. Reilly. There was a Halance of s35,o00 and enough to pur- chase large silver platter upon which to present the cash.
 At the formal presentation exercises, in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. MT. Reilly thanked the members of the ex- l. 1, kf~- . the National association, but he said he could not accept the gift, because as a representative in congress he had done only his duty and that the gov- ernment had paid his salary.
 OHicers in Quandary.
 Under the rules of the National As- sociation of Letter Carriers the money so raised cannot be applied to any other fund and, therefore, the officers are in quandary regarding what to do with the $35,000.
 Albert Tharp, president of the New York Letter Carriers association, and a member of the National Executive board, said no postal regulation had been violated in offering the money to MT. Reilly. His term in congress had eridea and the money was vol untary offering of the men to show their appreciation. Hoped that MT. Reilly would see his way clear to ac- cept the tribute but he prefers to ac- cept position as internal revenue collector.
 Therefore there is s35, ,000 awaiting disposition. It cannot be returned to the contributors, because no record has been kept of those who helped to make up the intended gift.
