UNCLE SANS BEST
GIRL MAY AID D. c.
Miss Robertson, New Mem.
Der of House, Likely to Go
on District Committee.

Miss Alice Robertson, the new Man,
| Der Of the House from the second
Oklahoma district is expected to take
4 place on the House District COM
mittee.
She is an ardent advocate of making
the National Capital the most beauti-
full city in the world. and has for
years preached among her associates
that they should love the seat of gov
eminent above any other place in
this country. and should not be mig
gardly in its upkeep and development.
Called "Uncle Sans Best Girl"
Miss Robertson has been known for
years as ''Uncle Sans best girl" be-
cause she was at one time the high
est-paid woman in the government
service. while employed in the In
terror Department here, and later was
the first woman ever appointed post
master of a first-claSS Office. Yet
Miss Robertson is not a militant suf-
fragist. and is opposed to picketing
and the otoher tactics of some of the
suffrage leaders.
On her last visit to the National
Robertson was much pleased with the
improvements that had been made
here. and expressed hope that the
American people would never lose
interest in the federal city, but would
earnestly strive through the years to
make it the most beautiful city in all
creation.
Miss Robertson is no novice in re-
publican politics in Oklahoma. She
was much opposed to the absorption
of the Indian Territory by Oklahoma.
She estimated that the settlers of
Oklahoma were fortune seekers, while
the jewellers in the Indian Territory
had grown up with the land and were
home makers. The Indian Territory
was inhabited mostly by republicans.
while she foresaw that those who
rushed to Oklahoma would be mostly
democrats. She is now enthusiastic
democrats.
Lauded by Mrs. Draper.
Mrs. Amos G. Draper. prominent in
D. A. r. circles, who has held many
important offices, including editorship
of the D. A. r. Magazine. is life
long friend of Miss Robertson, and to-
day prepared the following statement
about Miss Robertson:
while Miss Robertson spent her
childhood in what was then Indian
Territory, she later came to Washing
ton and obtained a position in the
Interior Department.
"She was enthusiastic over Wash
ington. and hoped and expected to
spend her days here. Her father died,
and the question arose whether she
should give up her life of comparative
ease and go west. or bring her mother
here Her mother wished to end her
days among the scenes endeared to
her by long association. so Miss Rob-

REVISE TAX LAWS,
M'CUMBER URGES
Senator Says Amendments
Should Be Taken Up
Without Delay.

Amendment of the tax laws of the
United States should be underts ken
without delay. Senator McCumber of
North Dakota said today. He eX-
pressed the hope that the congress
sional committee dealing with the
tax laws would begin work on the
proposed revisions as soon as Con-
greSS meets.
The republicans have control in
both the Senate and the House in the
coming short session of Congress. as
they will have in the next Congress.
said Senator McCumber. Il believe
that we should begin work on this
important matter as quickly as posi-
HE and without waiting for the new
Congress to come in.
Senator McCumber said that there
had been no conferences among the
republican Legislators regarding the
tax law provisions. He expressed the
opinion that the excess profits tax
would be done away with and that
some substitute would be found for it:
Personally. / have been in favor of
a gross sales tax" said Senator Nc
Cumber. But what plan will be
adopted remains to be determined"
Senator McCumber- as the ranking
member of the Senate finance commit
tee after Chairman PenroSe, probably
will act as chairman of the commit
tee during the consideration of the
tax revision plan. Senator PenroSe' s
condition is reported to be such that
it is not likely he will be able to take
on his shoulders the burden of carry
ing on this work.
The democrats in Congress are
looking forward to the difficulties
which will face the republicans when
it comes to a revision of the tax laws.
The democrats think it likely that
the high-tariff republicans of the east
will clash with the more DroPreSSive
republicans of the west when it comes
to a revision of the tariff laws. Then,
too, they believe that one element of
the republican party will support in
creases in the income tax schedules
on the larger incomes, while another
element will favor a consumption tax,
q tax on sales, which will tend to in
