Answers to Correspondents

about marriage she Aways says
l"Wait a while, you've got plenty OF
time" And now she says we Will
have to elope as her father would
not let me marry her so ! would
like your advice whether this is tha
right thing to do. Should / go
up to her father and ask him to
let me marry her or should we
elope. Waiting for your advice.
HOPEFUL
Very little can be gained by an
elopement except trouble and un-
pleasantness. In the first place
the girl doesn't appear to be en-
tirely sure of her own mind about
you, which ought to be a reason
for waiting a little while. In the
second, a man ought to hesitate
a long while before he urges a girl
to an elopement or any other
action which will cause estrange-
ment from her family. We need
all the love and all the friends we
have in this sorry old world and
the time might easily come when
the girl would regret being sepa-
rated from her father and hold it
against you.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

When the Senate Tackles the
Half -and-Half
By BILL PRICE.

The House did not vote strongly for abolition Of
the hafandhaf principle of District appropriations
1T has done in the past Congressman GOOD of Iowa
stated in his speech that every time it has been before
the House two thirds Of the membership have been in
favor of repeating the law" The 2O9 for lis
against, less than two to one.
Mr.. Good made the candid admission that the object
Of the repeal TO increase the taxes Of the people of
Washington that they may bear greater proportion of
the upkeep of the District and the Federal Government
smaller proportion than in the past
Congressman MONDELL Republican leader of the
House. in favorng the repeal pointed out that the half
andhaf rule has not been followed by Congress for years.
that he did not believe in hard and fast rule and that
he willing at any time to appropriate when
sary, larger proportion than so per cent from the Fed
eral Treasury for making Washington a great Federal
Capital.
Congressman MANN who has been in the House many
years and knows District conditions WELL offered these
marks before voting against the bill:
The Washington times., 1920-01-14

The repeal of the organic law of fixed proportions of
contributions would not be serious matter if there
assurance that coming Congresses would be half
way friendly liberal to the District Many Congress
to this city people But large number of men
who did for the repeal absolutely hostile and
their minds closed to every argument. They deib-
erately make political capital out of their hostility and
have breadth of view that the Federal Capital should
be any more beautiful than any other city.
1t is this class of who threaten the future OF
Washington along the splendid lines that the nation wishes
it to have Their aim is solely of making the people
here pay the highest possible rate of taxation for the priv
ege of enjoying comforts and pleasures their
stituens do not enjoy Such policy will put Washing
ton back to the secondrate city it once
The Senate, when it to the BILL will doubtless
consider these phases quite carefully.
The question whether the people here pay fair rate
of taxation is one for mature investigation by the Senate
Comparisons difficult matter what State, city OF
town is selected. Many cities most of them have low
rate of assessment real estate and other properties and
compelled to charge high tax rate to make up for IT.
Politics often enter into assessments low basis.
The assessment in this city straight honest two
thirds of valuation; strict, in fact that many small
property have charged that they could not sell
for the amounts assessed The tax rate is apparently not
high but if local assessments the basis Of
cities the taxpayer here could afford to $3.50 500
andjthen save money the present rate
Few members of the House have given credit to
Washington for honest and fair administration OF taxes,
entirely unnfuenced by politics. There is grating Of
funds here through political pull; highly ypad officials
who do nothing and wax fat from heavily taxed people;
no Juggling of contracts by which ward bosses make big
cleanups at the expense of the public No political boss
can go into the Assessors Office in this city and have his
assessment lowered and the Assessors Office is not
peed as are some assessors to favor taxpayers with po
litical pull.

is sophistry of the worst kind.
Don't be fooled by it and don't
listen to protestations of love
that are accompanied by that
sort of previous pleading. When
a man really loves he doesn't
want to expose you to the stings
and taunts of the world. Rather
he wants to protect you from
them. Try to become interested in
some other boys. There really
are lots better ones than the boy
you are wasting your time over.
And believe this-because it
comes from my heart to yours,
there will soon be a time when
you have met other boys and had
a chance to compare your rene
gade friend with them-when you
will wonder why or how you ever
felt so badly over this dereliction.

niggardly plan. i have no doubt
whatever that the people of my
district pay their proportion Of
taxes for the beneht Of the Capital
City OF the Nation more freely than
they pay any other tax Of the Gov
ernment. and my people pay a con-
siderable proportion OF the taxes.
q great deal more than many of the
States represented in this House.
We do not feel niggardly toward
Washington. In the old days, when
Washington was an old, run-down
city, dirty and unkempt, the peo-
pie were not proud OF II. They arc
proud Of IL today. and a large share
of the expenditures In Washington
is made because of the great mum
ber of your constituents and my
constituents who come to this
beautiful city to visit it, and no
one comes here and goes home who
is not prouder OF his Government
after he has been here than he was
before he came. (Applause.]

HOPEFUL Grille.

In spite or your unWiiiihsheoS
to forget this boy, 1t really Is the
thing to do, unless, perhaps, you
care to stand aside until he sows
his wild oats, with the hope that
later he will come back to you, a
saner and a wiser boy. That,
however, is unlikely.
No, my dear, you will not die
OF a broken heart. Nothing was
ever truer than the lies: Men
have died and worms have eaten
them-but not for love"
In the first place there is no
Common Marriage Law" Years
ago in some States, there was
an arrangement whereby if man
and woman lived together as man
or wife, or, il a man introduced
n woman as his wife, the law
recognized the marriage, unless
either person had contracted a
previous alliance. Even in New
York State, however, that law
has been changed, because so
many irregularities crept In that

you for a little advice. I am
young, girl eighteen years OF age,
and considered attractive. Having
two brothers quite a few fell
lows call at my house, and have
asked to take me to theaters and
dances, etc. But there is one fell
low in particular whom l care quite
a bit for, this fellow tells me he
loves me. In this young mans
work he comes in contact with
quite a few young ladies. ! have
learned from my girl friend that
he is the sort OF fellow that tells
all the girls the same thing He
will never make 4 definite engage
ment, but while ! am entertaining
other fellows and girls he makes 1t
a point to call at my home. Miss
Fairfax, please give me some ad-
vice in a case like this. as I don't
like to hurt his feelings, as / think
1 could learn to love him.
BLUE EYES.
You're letting the "green-eyed
monster" take possession of you,
which is one very bad thing to do.
And another mistake you're max
ing is trying to rush" this young
man. 1t looks TO me as though he
were not entirely sure of his feel
ings toward you and, being your
brothers friend and having the
entree to your friendship, and
your home through that friend
ship, he doesn't want to raise any
false hopes or treat you unfairly.
Give the boy tme-give the boy
time! If he wants you, you'll know
it. If he doesn't, you'd better save
your breath to cool your porridge.
Men seem never to want things
they don't have to strive for.

I'm printing your letter, but I
don't agree that you "love" him,
and I want to say now that a girl
mustn't think because a man or
boy looks at her, here, there, or
anywhere, more than once, that
he is necessarily "smitten." He
may be wondering why the girl
stares at him, and he may not be
thinking how pretty she Is, but
how funny she looks.
