POLITICAL FAVORITISM
CHARGED BY Mr.. ANTHONY
Introduces Resolution in the House
Regarding Commission Issued
to Herbert A. Meyer.

Why Herbert A Meyer. formerly pri-
vate secretary to Secretary Lane and of
draft age. was commissioned a captain
in the aviation service without the for
mality of first enlisting is inquired into
under a resolution of Representative
Anthony of Kansas, which was favorably
reported to the House by the military
committee.
Mr.. Anthony contends that the War
Department is playing political favoritism
and is not keeping faith with Congress
in commissioning officers. He says that
the War Department has announced that
no men of draft age will be commissioned
unless they first enlist and that he and
other members of Congress. accepting
that announcement in good faith, have
been so notifying their constituents. but
that every day the department is making
exceptions to the rule through influence

Representative Mapes of Michigan, a
member of the House District commit
tee, who was author of the amendment
as passed and also author of bill re-
ported from the District committee car
rying an identical appropriation for the
same work. Representative Mapes said
TT requires no argument to convince
any one at all familiar with the condi-
tions prevailing throughout the coun-
try and in the District of Columbia that
1t is highly important and necessary
piece of legislation. My amendment is
for the purpose of Incorporating in the
bill the specific provision that S10,000,-
600 OF the amount authorized shall be
actually used within the District.
1t is not necessary to discuss the
need of additional housing accommoda-
tions within the District with any one
who has lived here. even temporarily,
as every member of the House has, and
conditions are getting worse and worse
as time goes on.
That being the case, 1t necessarily

SENATE BOND VOTE NEAR
Finance Committee Approves Bill as
Framed by House, Except Bank
Tax Exemption.

The Senate finance committee today
approved the third liberty bond bill.
Senator Simmons announced he would
try to get 1t up for consideration this
afternoon.
The Senate committee approved the
measure as it came from the House
with the exception of section five,
which was stricken out. This section
related to the exemption from taxation
of liberty bonds held by banks. The
House yesterday changed this provi-
sion to base the exemption on ratio
of the bond holdings to gross assets.
Senators on the committee did not ap-
prove this. and 1t was decided to strike
out the whole question, SO as to avoid
controversy with the House, which
might prevent enactment of the meas
ure in time for opening of the bond

! in an unwarranted manner. Under the
leadership of Representative Ben John
son of Kentucky an assault was made
upon the organic act of 1873. The
House placed in the District appropri-
alton bill a provision that the so-called
half-and-half plan of paying the ex-
penditures for the District should be
abandoned, so that in the future the
/ residents of the District should bear
the burden to a greater and greater
extent of the development and upkeep
of the National Capital.
1t did not take Senator Salisbury
long to make up his mind that if the
half-and-haf plan were discontinued,
without an adequate substitute being
adopted, so that the aid needed from
the federal government should be con-
tinued. the growth of the capital would
be halted and the city would go back
ward instead of forward.
Served on Committee.
He voted. with many other senators,
against the johnson amendment. A
joint committee of the Senate and
House was appointed to investigate the
entire question of taxation and appro-
priation for the District of Columbia.
Senator Salisbury was appointed a
member. For weeks he and the other
members of the committee took tes-
timony. When they brought in their
report which seemingly approved Of
some change in the existing plan, but
urgently demanded that the federal
government continue to do its share
in the upkeep of the capital. Senator
Salisbury caused to be inserted
recommendation that the half-and-half
plan be retained until some other plan
could be devised.
Senator Salisbury has taken keen
interest in legislation increasing the
area devoted to public parks in the
capital. which is in line with his desire
that Washington be made beautiful
and healthful.
Washington has been much interest
ed, too. in the fight which Senator
Salisbury has waged for number of
years to have the government take
over and widen the Chesapeake and
Delaware cahal, connecting Delaware
and Chesapeake bays, realizing that il
this were done it would mean great de-
veIopment in water transportation for
the benefit not only of Maryland, Della
ware and Pennsylvania, but also for the
District of Columbia. 1t would mean
also further defense for the National
Capital. since it will afford a ready
channel for the quick maneuvering and
mobilization of naval vessels in case
this part of the coast is attacked.
