"washington asks only that the fis-
cal Arrangement which has made all

until changed for a better plan after
thorough Investigation and delibera-
ton by the legislative committees on
the District of Columbia of the House

and adopted after ample discussion.

'::The Joint committee of Congress
in 1915 on the fiscal arrangement for
the District unanimously reported
that taxation here was ample ct has
since largely increased). that the
half-and half plan had worked well.
and that the United States should
continue to make contribution in
definite regular and liberal
amounts.
This rider abolishes the half and

The United States share under it

houses, the proper committees, which
in 1873 framed the organic act after
four years consideration, consider the
til fundamental change now proposed,
and let the appropriations for next
year be made as the organic act re-
Quires."

TO ASK DUE STUDY
Of HALF-AND-HALF
Joint Citizens Committee
Will Appeal to Congress Not
to Repeal Act by Rider.

An appeal to Congress not to abolish
the half-and-half plan of financing
the District by rider on an appro-
priation will be made by the joint
citizens committee on fiscal relations
between the United States and the
District of Columbia.
The executive committee of the citi-
zens' committee met this morning
with it's chairman, Henry B. F. Mac
farland, and discussed the latest eff
fort to do away with the half and
half plan by writing its death SEN
tence into the District Appropriation
bill.
In addition to Mr. Mcfarland, the
members Of the executive committee
are A. S. Worthington, Corcoran
Thorn, Theodore w. Noyes, D. j. Gala
han and Edward F. Colladay.
Want Hearings Before Change.
The committee decided to ask that
any change in the organic act of 1878
shall be first considered by the COM
mittees on the District of Columbia
and adopted only after full opportu-
nifty for hearings and after careful
elaboration.
They pointed out that the organic
act of 1873 was framed by the COM
mites on the District Of Columbia;
that amendments of that act are gen
eral legislation and therefore under
the rules should be considered by the
committees on the District of Column
bia. They also pointed out that there
has been no hearing on the proposed
change and that no adequate consid-
GRAFTON OF it can be given in the
month before the appropriation bill
must pass. Therefore they ask that
Congress make the appropriations for
the District of Columbia in the usual
manner under the organic art and
that the question OF the abolition of
the "half-and-haif' plan and the sub
stitution of another in its place be
taken up separately by the commit
tees on the District of Columbia.

CUT in FLOUR PRICE
COMING IN 3 WEEKS
Grain Corporation Head De-
MES Rumors of Scarcity
Eut Out by Statesmen

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-To prove that
rumors concerning scarcity of flour
and advancing prices are baseless. the
United States Grain Corporation has
announced that it would enable con-
sumers to buy the best flour at lower
prices.
Pure, straight -four, made OF the
finest wheat, will be sold by the cor
poration to the retail trade in 12A
and 24h pound packages. IL Will be
available IN about three weeks, and
the price to the consumers will be
about IS cents for the smaller pack
age.
Mr.. Barnes said that the grain cor
poration's action puts the solution
of one phase OF the cost OF living
problem UP to the consumer by max
ing 1t possible for the purchaser OF
-four to decide for himself whether he
will continue to pay fancy prices for
special brands or buy at lower price
pure straight -four made from the
finest wheat"
Rumors. possibly inspired by over
jealous -four statesmen, he said, had
been current in the market from time
to time of an impending flour short
age
'srhe facts are" he said. ''the stocks
of -four are very large and produc-
ton very large. Therefore, the wheat
director has determined to place In
the hands of the retail trade, In the
large cities particularly, a supply Of
-four from the immense stocks of the
grain corporation at nominal prices"
