ZONE REPEAL
Business Men Dissatisfied
With New Regulations,
Is the Belief.
SUGGESTIONS IGNORED
Fight to Be Carried to Con-
gress, Says Prominent
Washingtonian.
SUGGESTIONS IGNORED

The new zoning regulations, ef-
fective yesterday, are so unsatis-
factory to the business men of
Washington that Congress will be
asked to repeal the total findings Of
the Zoning Commission, said prom
inent washingtonian yesterday. The
annual tax rate of this business man
exceeds Commissioner Brownlow s
new salary by about $4,000.
Summarizing the situation, he as
serted that all suggestions of Wash
ington associations had been polite
ly ignored by the commission; that
the regulations pertaining to the
height Of downtown buildings would
increase the tax rate for every citi-
zen of the district; that the restric-
ton in area of buildings would pro-
duce a big increase in backyard un-
cleanliness, and that a certain build
ing under contemplation, to cost
about 100000, would not be built.
VIII Raise Taxes
ITO get sufficient returns on a
building investment II is absolutely
essential that the building have
enough floor space to produce the
returns in rent. Cut of two stories
from a building costing s500,00o and
you cut down the income by one
sixth. The decrease in the value Of
the property will result in decrease
in tax assessment, and will naturally
increase the tax rate on all other
projects. This affects every tax
payer in the District.
Reduced area of buildings means
further reduction in the earning
capacity of the building, and a fur
ther increase in the taxes assessed
against other projects
Appeal to Congress-
IN talking to many influential
business men throughout the city,
I have found but two in favor of
the new regulations" said this bus
mess man. There is a hint of one
man rule in the whole proceeding,
and am sure I am not premature
in telling you that Congress will be
appealed to for relief from the
measure.
IF you will examine the roof of
the Southern Building. Fifteenth
and H streets, you will find steel
uprights, left there for the purpose
OF adding one or two stories to the
building at some future date. The
permit granted the owners specified
two additional stories. and their in
vestment represents that additional
capital. The same is true Of the
Homer Building, Thirteenth street
Are these people to be deprived of a
privilege granted them in good
faith, and the earning power of
their properties to be cut down

AUSTRIA BEGINS.
HELPING SELF
Government, Supplement-
ing Hoover Program, Will
Feed 1000 Daily.
NEEDY GIVEN CLOTHES
u. S. Relief Also Provides
Supplies for Children In
Bohemia. \
NEEDY GIVEN CLOTHES

Poverty-smitten Austria has made
an encouraging first step toward the
solution of her great hunger prob
lam, according to information re-
ceived yesterday at the New York
once of the American Relief Ad-
ministration. Notice has been re-
ceived that the government of Salz-
burg will find itself able to supple
ment the Hoover program of child
feeding in that province up to May
1, 1891. by supplying daily meals to
1000 of its underfed children.
Daily Meals for 27o,ooo.
With the resources available, the
American Relief Administration Eu-
ropean children's fund has been pro-
viding since the spring of 1919 daily
meals for 1000 children in Salzburg.
In all of Austria the number has
reached a maximum of 27o,ooo, and
thus far the nments-central
and provincial-have not been able
to do more than meet expenses of
distribution and administration.
When the program for the winter
and spring of 1s20-1s21 came up for
discussion, however, an agreement
was concluded whereby the Hoover
relief will be extended to 5000 chill
dren and the provincial government
will be responsible for an additional
1000.
Announcement was also made at
the American Relief Administration
Office that a total of 800, 900 daily
.~Fu ~
children UP to June /, 1920. Shoes
and necessary clothing will be sup
piled to 100000 of the neediest in
order that they may report through
out the winter to the central
kitchens where the meals are
served.
Supplies Given by q. s. Relief.
The sturdy determination of the
people of Central Europe to help
themselves, illustrated by impov-
erished Salzburg's action, is one of
the inspirations OF American relief
workers. As further proof OF re-
turn to the point of self-support
Hoover's child-feeding representa-
tives withdrew on August l from
lCzecho-Slovakia and turned over to
the Ceskoslovensko Pece Dite
(the Czech child-feeding bureau
headed by Miss Alice Masaryk,
daughter of the president of the
republic) supplies and a program
for continued relief in portions Of
Bohemia and Ruthenia- Likewise
| in Jugo-Slavia, where the American
program ended in May. local or
ganizations will continue to feed a
great number of children along the
Adriatic Coast and in the mountain
districts of Dalmstia and Monte
negro, where food is desperately
scarce.

Apathy Among Voters Laid
Toe. OF Campaign
Manager.
APPEALS LACK PUNCH
Pennsylvania Politicians
Fear Women May
Swing to Cox.
BY THOMAS F. HEABEY.
Public Ledger service.)

Philadelphia, Sept. LEADERS of
the Republican organization in
Pennsylvsnia-the men who are
wise enough to assay at its real
value the usual political ballyhoo-
are greatly concerned over the
apathetic attitude of the public to
the Presidential campaign. They
quite frankly admit there is little
public interest in the contest as
such and they confess their inabil-
ity to arouse enthusiasm.
At the moment the only definite
thing that can be said about the
campaign is that the leaders an
nounce they will start active work
after Labor Day. What that may
mean no one can say.
G. o. p. on Defense.
No one attempts to deny that
what the public is talking about is
the defensive position in which the
Republican national leaders have
been placed by the Cox charges of
s15,000,o00 campaign fund.
The Cox charges and Senator
Harding's plan of using The Hague
tribunal as a substitute for the
league of nations are the matters
discussed when there is any dis
cussion. The former, which smacks
Cf sensationalism. is read and dis
cussed as any other unusual news
story of the day is discussed.
Attack Centered on Hays.
The situation would not be re-
garded seriously, Republican leaders
say, were it not for the fact
that Will H. Hays, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, has
failed to put punch into the national
fight and has been forced to take a
defensive position so early in a
game which he started with a win
ming hand.
Pennsylvania is a rock ribbed Re
publican State and there is little
fear but that a substantial majority
will be rolled up for the Repub-
lfcan ticket. But what the great
mass of women voters will do unless
a more definite position on the
League is adopted by the Republican
leadership, is something which the
State leaders do not like to talk
about.
