Fresh Greens Tor the carary.

Canartes are very fond of lettuce. celery tops and othew young and ten. der greens, as all birdlovers know. When the birdman tells us we must not give these things to our pets too frequently the temptation to go con- trary to advice is strong, for we sym. pathize keenly. An accident showed me the way to gratify our pets without harm to them, as experienee has proven. Some months since, . little birdseed was spilled on the earth in large tub containing rubber plant, Soon these seeds spreutcd, and we hit upon the idea of removing the bottom from the cage and setting it over th. young sprouts. The joy the canaries found in their greens, and the conse- Quent discovery that the birds were really gaining in health and song con. vinced us that box of sprouting bird. seed was the thing to keep on band tor them.-Exchange.

Training Sea-lions.

The nature of the sea-iiOn is peculiar. He has to be petted and encouraged ar every stage of lesson.

Opens Partisan Debate.

Representative Hefin of Alabama.
democrat, opened the partisan debate
yesterday. after members who had
planned speeches refused to deliver
them because of the small attendance.
Representative Hefiin charged repub-
lican leaders with seeking to dis
credit and destroy President Wilson
at home His attack was directed
particularly against Representatives
Rodenberg and Britten and Senator
Sherman of Illinois. as well as Chair
man Hayes of the republican national
committee.
The Alabama member frequently
was interrupted by derisive cries from
tho republicans and applause from
the democratic side Of the House. He
refused to yield to republican mem
bers who sought to ask questions and
when he had concluded no reply was
made by the minority.
After Representative Pou Of North
Carolina, democrat. had charged re-
publicans with attempting to CHECK
the administration" with the con-
cealed purpose of. embarrassing 1t,
q fresh and heated controversy de-
veloped from an address by Repre-
sentative Miller Of Minnesota, repub-
1ican, who sharply assailed Postmas-
ter General Burleson. Mr.. Miller said
the Postmaster General Is "the arch
politician of the times" and charged
that he "has demoralized the postal
service and accorded employees tyran-
nical, even brutal, treatment"

Controlled by Testators.

Chairman Simmons expressed the view
that whether the educational tnstitu-
lions shall pay the tax on its lesacies
can be largely controlled by testators.
Senator Jones Of New Mexico said that
since the war has largely depleted the
colleges they should be willing to give
tho government the benefit Of revenue
from that source.
A. N. Hunt Of Boston. speaking in
behalf of pharmaceutica interests.
said a tax would be placed on nom
proprietory medicines by the bill,
which proposes a tax on trade marks
used by manufacturers OF medicines
prescribed by physirians.

Assails Mr.. Burleson.

1--WE who knew Mr.. Burleson before
he became Postmaster General ex-
pected he would administer that Office
along the narrowest and most bit
terly partisan lines" Representative
Miller continued. I'VE were in no
sense disappointed. He can see no
proposition except in a bitterly parti-
san way"
Mr.. Burleson's opposition to affilia-
tion of postal employees with the
American Federation Of Labor was
especially deplored by Representative
Miller.
Mr.. Burleson was vigorously de-
Tended by Representative Moon of
Tennessee, chairmbn of the House
post office committee, and Repre-
sentatives Buchanan and Hardy of
Texas, democrats.
Denouncing Mr.. Mil1er's charges as
personal SANDERS" Representative
Moon declared statements Of the
Minnesota member regarding the
postal service were : absolutely
false
TN these times" said Mr.. Moon, cit.
Is almost treason for any member of
this body to tend to bring into ridi-
cule and contempt any high official
Of tho government"
Representative Focht Of Pennsyl-
vania, republican. interjected that he
could submit thousands OF in
stances OF rankest inefhcfency" in
the Post once Department

Would Exempt Soldiers Estates.

Representative Treadway. a repub-
lican member of the ways and means
committee. advocated amendment of
the bill so that estates of soldiers
killed in service will not be taxed.
He also urged the House to add
provision taxing billboard and street
car advertising.
Consumption taxes, he said, seemed
the only source of revenue II the
present bill falls short of the esti-
mate Of $4,000, O00, 900. He said q
tariff could produce several hundred
millions. but might produce partisan
debate because of the different schools
of thought among political parties.
Reduction Of the tax on freight
transportation from 3 to . per cent
was urged by Representative Nc
keown of Oklahoma, democrat The
reduction would save shippers $685.
600, 900, he said, and is necessary be-
cause Of the railroad administrators
rate increase orders.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-09-13
Defend Postmaster General.

Representative Buchanan declared
that Mr.. Burleson has been wrong
fully subjected to "vflification and
abuse while Representative Hardy
urged that democratic control of
Congress be continued to avoid en-
barrassing the President.
Replying to a recent address Of Rep
resentative Ferris Of Oklahoma Of the
democratic congressional committee.
Representative Good Of Iowa, repub-
lican, reviewed past and present po-
litical conditions, and charged that
Reputation and hypocrisy had
marked past democratic campaign
records.
The political storm ended with criti-
cism by Representative London of
New York, socialist. Of both political
parties.
Imagine the soldier in the trenches"
he said, reading the cheap, vulgar.
partisan nonsense We have heard to-
day. It's all camouhage. It's cheap
political game on both sides, trying to
get control Of the House and trying
to catch votes"

Higher Rates on Big Incomes.

Rates to take all incomes more than
100000, with higher surfaces on
small incomes and taxation Of idle
land. were urged in letters received
today by all House members from
Secretary Marsh of the farmers pa
tional committee on war finance.
These recommendations. the letter
stated. were ignored by the ways and
means committee. With q 90 per
cent levy on war profits. 1t was de-
clared, $4,000, 100000 in taxes could
be raised without hardship.
The Senate finance committee yes
terday heard requests for exemp-
tion from taxation Of bequests and
legacies to educational or charitable
institutions. and for a change In the
wording Of the section dealing with
the tax on medicines.
DR.. Samuel Lindsey Of Columbia Uni
versity asked the committee to include
requests and legacies to colleges and
charitable institutions in the list Of tax
exemptions. Gifts and donations, he
said. are exempt under existing law.
but 1t does not include requests and
