SENATORS TO FIX
STREETS NEEDS IN
CITY TOUR TODAY
District Commissioners to
Accompany Com
mittee.

Headed by Senator Curtis of
Kansas. the Senate Appropriations
subcommittee which has been near
ing the District budget claims for
the fiscal year beginning June 80,
next. will make a tour of Washing
ton today to inspect the streets.
The commission asks S2.45S,755
for general street paving. repairs,
cleaning and emergencies. and the
figure was cut to s1.3SS,720 when the
till passed the House. The sub
committee will be accompanied by
the commissioner, starting out at
1920 o'clock this morning, and
members of the street department
who will explain the demands for
cash thattare expected to arise next
year.
Ask Items Replaced.
OF the 500. 900 asked for repairs
of streets, avenues and alleys, Sl:5.-
900 was stricken by the House
and this important item will b.

was asked by the District and this
figure was cut to s2Is.sOO by the
House. An emergency sund OF $50
600 for street improvements was
stricken from the bill entirely.
'Washington's streets are the
pride of the city. and the snail
amount left us by the House bill is
entirely inadequate" an fficial OF

the investigation of the street re-
quirements last week. 1t will
never do to allow our thorougAfarcs
too become shabby, with hundreds
of thousands of visitors coming
here annually to see what their ma
tional capital looks like. Good
streets are just as important tC
prosperity and advancement as are
schools. because they facilitate
travel, and travel is vital to every
thing else, including education"
Hope for Favorable Action
The commissioners feel sure that
their apeals for restoration of i'm.
portant items in the estimates FOL
streets will be favored by the sub.
committee after the trip over the
city today when the extensive work
of the past several months as well
as the needs will be shown.
Senator Capper of Kansas was al
work yesterday gathering data or
the crowded conditions of the
schools, and his figures probably
will be used in connection with tn,
report to be prepared by the Ap'
preparations subcommittee. Schoo
needs may take precedence ovel
those for street funds if it comes u
a sacrifice on either side, but there
is a strong belief that estimates al.
fecting other branches of the Dis
trict government rather than streets
or schools will be cut il the Senat,
prunes heavily on the estimates.
1t was made practically certain
) esterday that no report would b'
mace to the Senate on the Disti ict
appropriation bill before the drs'
OF the year, the Senate having ad'
jourEed until Thursday.

Sledges carrying mail to out
lying lumber and trading posts
OF the Northland will carry cir
culars and letters urging care
ful search for three United
States aviators missing for two
weeks.

to New York City for the holt
days He said on leaving here
that he was confident the Cana
dian soldiers will do everything
possible. He did not expect to
return.
Two weeks ago today the hal
loon with its three passengers
sailed over a suburb Of Ottawa.
The bag was high in the air
and travelling rapidly.
There were hopes that the
aviators from their travelling
aerie had located a settlement
and managed to land near II.
Because of the deep snow, foot
travellers will not be able to get
about much before spring. 1t
was hoped the mail carriers
might bring word back that the
party Is safe.

JUDGE GARY Sees
LASTING BUSINESS
LEAD FOR NATION
Declares Labor and Capi-
tai Must and Will Help
Each Other.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Predicting
more wholesome business conditions
and the continued financial suprem-
acy of this country in world affairs,
Judge Elbert H. Gary, of the United
States Steel Corporation, gives his
reasons for his optimism in a signed
article which will appear in Les
lies tomorrow.
Judge Gary puts commercial pros
perity and business advancement up
to the people. urging a fair return
on the investment. He says this is
no time for composure.
In the United States capital must
not and will not give cause for Of
fense to labor" he continues. And
labor must not and will not destroy
itself by trying to wreck capital
There has geen great progress in
regard to these relationships in the
past few years.
Efforts to Stir Fight.
From time to time efforts are
made to create friction between
capital and those without Il. ar
those possessed with small means.
or between the employer and en-
ploye. Occasionally these attempts
are successful and then both of
these interests suffer and the pub
lie also
1T is we'll for the large number
of employers to bear in mind that
they cannot carry out successfully
their affairs without having the
labor and loyalty of their en-
ployes. 1t may be true that machin-
cry is taking the place of large
numbers of workers and that the
number of machines may be in
creased. but it seems certain that
the work of the multitudes will al
ways be needed in business and it
behooves employers to give atten-
ton to the rights of their workers"
Defines Relations.
In this country, he declares, the
relation between the employer and
emplOye is not that of master and
servant but that of associates. This
is a practice, not a theory, he main
tains. Capital understands this re-
lation and believes in it's wisdom.
he says.
And further. l trust that we
shall avoid the danger of discrim-
inatory legislation in this cours
try" Gary continues. ANY legisla-
tion that is calculated to create
dissension or affect unfavorably one
class to the prejudice of another is
harmful and vicious and carried to
it's results may endanger the ma
tional structure"

accept the post of grand marshal
for the parade and act as chairman

March festivities, if possible. dur
ing the present week.

while no one Is authorized to
guarantee absolutely the return Of
100 per cent of guarantee subscrip-
tions," said Allies, 'as far back as
my records show, which is 1888,
there has been an excess after full
return with the exception of the
last two inaugurations and the lack
of an inaugural ball was respon-
sible for the small deficit on those
occasions"
The excess which Chairman Allies
believes is assured for this inaugu-
raj by restoration of the ball will be
added to a poor fund, income from
which for years has been applied to
various local charities. Hundreds of
families are said to be deriving ben
eft from the interest on this fund.
First announcement of contribu-

the general inaugural committee in

STATE HOUSE. DOVER. April "a
BY a vote OF "a to 2. Senators Gormley
and Highfleld being the only members
TO record negative votes, the Senate
yesterday afternoon passed Senator
Robertson's bill TO give more home
rule to Wilmington by investing In
City Council authority TO impose a IL
oense on various businesses. Mayor
Taylor and practically all members OF
Council, regardless OF party, at re-
cent hearing on this bill, advocated
the passage of the Robertson bill and
pointed out that 1t was needed to raise
more income to meet the necessary In
creased cost Of running the city gov
ernment and thereby avoid increasing
the tax rate on real eastate, which is
already too high.
Senator Robertson. In speaking for
the bill. asserted that the propaganda
circulated by the Delaware Automobile
Association against the bill. was based
on mIs-statements and without any
justification.
Senator Robertson explained that VIII
mington Is forced 10 seek other ways
TO raise money than by adding 10
the burden already on real estate. He
stated that as the bill affected VIII
mlngton exclusively and as the Mayor
and Council demanded II. In his opin-
ion. II should be enacted.
Senator Gormley. who voted against
the bill, said he could not see why
City Council should ask the Legislature
10 give IL laws TO license businesses
and then have a proviso exempting
railroads As far as taxes are con-
cerned, he said, railroads are on the
same basis as the owner OF a small
property, as they pay taxes only on
their real estate. Ser For Gormley

all, OF the mercantile tax paid by It's

less TO try to enact such a measure.
Senators Alice and Bennett defended
the provision exempting the railroads,
and asked what would become OF the
railroads II every town should compel |
them TO pay tax for running through |
the town.
The vote was then taken with the
