Have You Received a Personal
Tax Notice?
By EARL GOODWIN.

Perhaps you have received lately a salmon pink
muncaon from the District Building stating that your
intangible wealth has been assessed at ST % other
fancul and thoroughly inaccurate figure and that your
taxes on same will be in conformity with the salmon pink
slip regardless of everything to the contrary.
Let me ask ALL Washington to pay attention to the
salmon pink folder and if you appeal do exactly
as directed the paper The clerk to the board A L.
CHENEY has big job his hands, and the job must
be done.
So you where the personnel of the board stands
with me-
But what want to say is this
congress put over unnecessary tax on the VOTE
LESS residents of Washington 1t makes pay three
tenths OF per cent of intangible personal property
which means cash. stocks, and bonds OF course WE didn't
have anything to do with making that unfair law although
taxation without representation has been in bad odor with
Americans for $50 years.
Then, when Congress had written that law fer us il
lett the District government to it and collect without
providing the proper help
The assessor hasn't enough to assess Intangible
wealth properly he has to take up the directory and
assess everyone by absent treatment.
be says: "Jm Jones looks like he has 81 200; let's
tax him $780,"
This gives Jim chance to get away with murder fig
uratvey speaking He may have twelve times ST 200 but
there ISM any way to find it out.
All of which goes to show that Congress has no right
to tax the District of Columbia without allowing representa-
on and that it made bull when it the present un
fair intangible tax law; and that ought to repeal the law
TODAY and quit using the District of Columbia as q
legislative laboratory.

Roosevelt would have been glad to fight; wanted and

AFRAID OF "court-martial" when it
comes to showing a man, no matter
what his rank or title, just where
MS place is when he becomes too
friendly, or just plain mushy.
So far, all the young men we
have met are mighty proud to ap-
pear in public with a girl in uni
form, and have always shown a
marked preference-I started to say
type OF girl. but judging from
Laura's letter there evidently are
all sorts Of types, but fortunate
ly most of the young women are
proud Of the neat, trim, smart ap-
pearance they present, when in uni
form.
To say that we are surprised and
disguised is rather mild.
MARIE AND VERNA.
l am afraid that humor is not
strong point with either Marie or
Verna-they took Laura's spright-
ly letter so literally. When she
asked IL she,. as a yeoWOman, was
obliged to take orders from her su-
perior officer, and the orders had
to do with saying goodnight after
a party where both she and the
officer had had a beautiful time,
it was just a bit of comedy. This
situation might make a delightful
scene in light opera, or it would
not be bad in a short story, either.

be angry when l beg them to pray
for the saving grace of seeing a
joke.
when Shall She Marry Hint
MY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am a young girl OF eighteen
years and just recently became en-
gagged to a young man of 2I years.
! have known him since l was about
fifteen or sixteen years old as he
was a chum OF my brother. but have
been going with him steadily for
the past. flve or six months
What ] would like to know is
your frank opinion OF how long my
engagement should last before I
marry my sweetheart. Please un-
derstand that ! am deeply in love
with him, but l would like to know
your opinion on when 1 should get
married.
Thanking you, ] am, c. s.
Your letter is very fattering to
me, my dear c. S, but your ques-
tion is one that only the contract
ing parties as country newspa-
pers used to call the bride and
groom, can answer. If the young
man is able to provide a home for
you at present. there is no reason
why you should have a long en-
gagement. Though tWenty-one
seems rather young to assume the
responsibilities Of a household.
Why not ask your mother or father
or some good friend who knows all
the circumstances.

One of the results of the which is likely to be long
continued is the investigation by Congressional committees
of matters and persons connected with part in the
flict.
The honest and fair purpose of these socaed probes
should be to obtain FACTS orderly and proper
ner and draw conclusions in logical and unbiased way
What has happened in recent hearings does not
evidence either orderly forecast logical
or reliable result
Frequently private and selfish interests have taken the
opportunity to do effective work and reckless and
tiona methods have been given ladvised freedom.
The most recent happening evidencing these highly
dangerous methods of procedure the admission into the
record of the hea-ing by the Senate Committee Ag
culture of charge made in the absence of Levy
Mayer by Francis J. Heney that Mr. Mayer counsel for
Armour Co., and leading lawyer of national reputation
had offered law business to Mr. Heney with the intention
of improperly influencing him.
The law surrounds and protects the character of
honest man from this kind of attack in every place
except in the halls of Congress The defamer in the
paper may be sued for LIBEL misrepresentation in
tion is punishable slander.
Mr. Heney admitted the Senate committee that while
acting attorney for the committee he appeared before
it also as the paid legal spokesman for of the com
planning parties.
Such double capacity should be bar to appearances
before a Congressional committee and ought to nuly
both evidence and argument from SUCH a source.
His charge against Mr.. Mayer not only given the
ae by the latter but wholly unsupported By other
than MIR. Heney's word, and promptly denied by
frank P Walsh whose influence and Iabors Mr. Heney
coupled with his as having been improperly sought
by Mr. Mayer
If this of evidence is to be received ruthless and
unsupported charges be freely admitted to the
ords opinions be based such proceedings com
mittee reports will command much public confidence.
Congressional hearings should not be burdened and
ntangled with the techncaies of the courts but they
should be conducted in fairness to all persons in interest
and with due respect for the rights of those who appear
either witnesses attorneys and who appears
either capacity should be subjected to the malice of an
unendy opponent the ncnations of whose desire
to win is curbed neither by of fairness nor decency

In Tuesdays paper the daughter
Of a Confederate General ran a
survival of the Middle Ages who
signed himself "Grand Turk"
through the meat grinder Of her
relentless logic.
She suggested to him, inasmuch
as he disapproved Of women in the
professions, industry and even the
churches, that he come forward
through The Times and put up $75
a month for the support Of some
worthy toiler who could thus be
kept from the marts Of trade
where she was likely to be a dis
turbing element.
But not a word from Grand
Turk" no attempt even to answer
my clever correspondent letter.
So that we are forced to believe
that in addition to being a Grand
Turk he is also a poor sport. In
the fateful language Of the auc-
tioneer, his chance to make good
with his chivalry speciality is go
-going-will he not come for

vete and quaintness have the ap-
peal of a genuine antique.
