From all Indications the fruit

BRIGHTWOOD Citizens
Want FAIR TAXATION
Will Ask Congress to See that Prop
erty Here Is Taxed as 1t
Should Be.

Enactment by the next session of Con.
gress of legislation providing "a fair
honest. and business-like assessment Of
taxable property in the District" was
urged in resolutions adopted last nigh
by the Brightwood Citizens Association
at a meeting in Brightwood Hotel. The
matter was introduced by William Nick
Clayton. VINO urged that the Federation
of Citizens Associations be requested II
draft bill for introduction at the open
ing OF the Congressional session.
The plan suggested Is for the division
OF the District into a number of taxa ton
districts. assessors for which shall be re-
quired to have been residents therein for
at least ten years The resolutions state
that at least one of the assessors in ca oh
district should have special knowledge OF
the method and process of construction
of buildings and also be thoroughly &C
quainted with the cost of all materials
entering into construction.
The association urges that tangible
personal property be exempted from tax
ments OF realty at full true value. with
flexible tax rate based upon the re-
quirements OF the annual District appro-
priation bill Another novel recon-
mendation is that where a piece of i'm
proved real estate remains unoccupied,
although offered for rent. for a period
of six months. 1t should be relieved, so
far as the improvements are concerned,
of taxation for the period of time it re-
mains vacant.

War Not Worst Evil.
Senator Gore. Of Oklahoma. declared
that war was one Of the worst. but not
the worst of all evils. There could be
no enduring peace. he said. that did not
involve security.
The national defense" continued SEN
ator Gore. is one of the chief objects
OF government. There are two ways OF
adjusting international quarrels+one by
diplomacy and the other by force. The
Presidents note went as far the present
exigency requires. / hope 1t will result
in guaranteeing the rights and safety of
our citizens and obviate the necessity of
other means than diplomacy. However,

disavow the acts Of those In command of

Quoting this war under her orders"

Rep. Stone. Of Illinois-'Ths note

American rights, nicely expressed SO
as to avoid unnecessary resentment,
and at the same time so worded as
not to infame our own people"
Rep. Lloyd. of Missouri am with
the President, and I endorse the note.
1t is strong and the right kind of
stun. 1t rings true. II states the
position of this government. as I
think IL should be stated"
Rep. Morgan, Republican, of Okla
homa-"I am for it-all I've got. I
could not say more than this. I ap-
prove IT from start to finish"
Rep. Helgesen, Republican. of North
Dakota-'T give the note my approval
believe the President went rather
far in practically notifying Germany
that she must give up all submarine
warfare on merchant ships even Of
belligerents. That is asking a great
deal-in effect that means that Ger
many must surrender the only naval
weapons she has"
