BOLSHEVISM TO
 JUSTIFY THEFT
By Associated Press

Berlin, JsHHsfy !, The bolshevik idea that the other fellow ought to be com pelled to share his property, even if one must resort to theft to obtain it. seems to actuate some of Berlns thieves. Two sisters. servants of a well-to-do fan Ni' in Hanover. who recently store 40JW1 marks worth of valuables from their em- ployers, declared. when arrested, that they felt it was perfectly right, under the new order of things, to take share in the property of those better situated.
 Large quantities of jewelry and val uable articles are being stolen in Berlin Servants are often the offenders and ire quently are captured because they are amateurs.

MACFARLAND GRATIFIED.
SAYS DISTRICT HAS
WON VICTORY IN BILL

Henry b. F. Macfarland, chairman Of
1ne joint citizens committee on the
nscal relation between the United
States and the District of Columbia
said:
we have won what we fought for,
the maintenance of a definite propor-
ton of contribution between the
united States and the District of Co
,1moia, and the ratio is satisfactory
II we could not have the fifty-ffty
we wanted sixty-forty. which adds
only 10 per cent to our contribution.
Naturally we are gratified by this vic
tory: AS the bill passed the House it
abolished the definite proportion al
of the burden on the District tax
payers and increased the taxation on
real and tangible personal property
66 2-3 per cent in order to provide
the necessary amount. It was but q
step. from this to putting the whole
burden on the District taxpayers
Tie only increase in taxation now
contemplated. as officially described
in the Congressional Record by the
conference committee. is that if the
District revenues for 1921 are not
sufficient to meet all of our additional
10 per cent contribution. the District
Commissioners shall increase the rate
of taxation on real estate and tangi-
BILE personal property sufficiently to
make up the difference, but that the
rate Of taxation shall not be more
than Q per cent. It is now, Of course,
IN per cent.
Personal Rate Unchanged.
'"The rate on intangible personal
property is left just where it is. at
three-tenths of per cent. The possible
increase for the year 1921 is insiE-
nificant compared with the House in
crease of 667s per cent, which has
been stricken out of the bill on our
urgent recomme ndatiOn.
Permanent Settlement Later.
ut must be remembered that the
permanent settlement of the matter
will be made later in the conference
committee on the Mapes bill and the
Senate substitute adopted on our rec
ommendation, and that the outcome
will probably be on the lines laid
down by the Senate.
"Of course, we are heartily pleased
with the increases in the actual ap-
propriations. especially in salaries and
for Improvements beginning with the
schools, which we have been advo-
eating right along"

Commissioners Are Glad
Agreement Was Reached
Mr.. Br0WnIoW Declares

"The Commi issioners are extremely
gratified over the fact that the
House and Senate were able to reach
an agreement" said Commissioner
Brown1ow. when notified by telephone
that the House had adopted the conn
promise District bill.
Mr.. Brownlew made no reference to
his views on the decision of Congress
to require the people Of the District
to meet so per cent of the city's ex-
penses and let the United States pay
40 per cent.
He said he was glad the bill was
put through in some form to save the
Distract from the disastrous effects
of going through the summer on a
resolution continuing last years ap-
preparations.
Mr.. Brownlbw said the Commission
efs cannot determine what the tar
rate will be until they know exactly
the total amount that is being ap-
proprfated for the District not only
in the District bill. but in other
measures.

60-4O Ratio Better
Than No Fixed Aid
From u. S., kutz'S View

Engineer Commissioner Kuts believes
that the plan to meet the expenses Of
the National Capital on a fixed ratio, 60
per cent by the District and 40 per cent
by the federal government. is fairef to
Washington than to have no fixed
amount for the United States to pay.
When asked today for his views on
the compromise Commissioner Kutz re-
ferred to the statement he made at the
hearings on the fiscal affairs Of the Dis
tfict in 1916. which he said still ex-
PRESSES his opinion on the subject This
statement In part follows:
Il am also of the opinion that the
development Of the District. both as
National Capital and as place of resi-
dence, will progress more rapidly and
more satisfactorily if the United States
continues to contribute fixed proper
ton of the expenses than IL the District
revenues are covered into the Treasury
and appropriations made for the support
of the District Irrespective Of these
revenues"
Referring to the objection that fixed
proportion. such as 60-40, might have to
be changed each year, Commissioner
Kuts pointed to the fact that representa-
ton Of tho states in Congress is basei
on a census taken every ten years and
remains the same during the ten years

CONVERT BRUSH INTO
PERMANENT PASTURE
Most Farms All Over Country

Department Of Agriculture Points Out
That Few Acres at Time Can Be
Cleared When Other Work e
Is Not Pressing.

There are many hundreds OF thou.

brush that should be 9H permanent pas.

have some such acres. With labor as
high as it Is at present many farmers
figure that they, cannot afford to clear
brush land for pasture. but the United
States department Of agriculture points
out that the labor employed on prac-
ticaIly- any farm can be. utilized to
clear from one to few acres Of brush
land every year at times when regular
farm work cannot be done. The brush
can be cleared away at any time, OF
course, and after It. is of the ground
may be plowed at intervals when the
titled fields are Stoo wet for plowing.
Every acre Of land cleared and put In
permanent pasture means an invest,
ment that viii pay dividends through
a lifetime. The kinds Of grass to SOW
vary with the locality, department
of agriculture has conducted extensive
Investigations to determine the best
methods OF making permanent pastures
in. the various sections Of the country.
Literature and other information on
the subject may be had by writing the
department. ~. Z. ~ :
