days before the jail delivery and
spent some time il. consultation
with them in the county Jail.
The ease with which the prisoners,
escaped calls attention again to the
need for a new court house and es-
pecially a new and modern iail build
ing. The walls of the present iall
are simply made of brick and mortar
and anyone could make a hole in them
within an hours time with the proper
kind of tools.
All modern jail buildings have
walls of reinforced concrete or else a
steel jacket set between rows Of
brick. In the Kittitas county jail
there is concrete wall ten feet high
outside the jail building so that if the
prisoner escapes from the Jail he is
still inside of a wall.-World, Mon

O0NOVANFOR
.D.C.BOND|SSUE
Coming Generations Should
Help Pay for Improvements,
Auditor Believes.

The issuance Of bonds by the Dis
trict OF Columbia. as proposed by the
Commissioners is upheld by Daniel
]. Donovan, auditor for the District
government, who has taken issue
with the stand OF District Assessor
William p. Richards.
Richards last week said the pro-
rosai to issue bonds to carry on some
Government such as the building OF
schools and Improvement of roads.
was all wrong. He contended the
future generation should not be sad
died with q debt contracted by this
one, and claimed ample money could
be raised in the District to pay for
all these improvements by increasing
the tax rate to the limit allowed by
Congress. 2 per cent. and the estab-
jishment of the fifty-fifty plan OF
appropriation by Congress.
Auditor Donovan. replying TO this
argument, says there is not u mu-
nicipality in the county that does not
issue bonds. and furthermore there
is not an American business house
that does not do business on credit
basis to some extent.
1T Is simple economics" Auditor
Donovan says There is no reason
why we should pay for improvements
that not only will benefit us. but
those who come after us. Most OF
the improvements the bonds will pay
for, such as schools. roads and
bridges, will be of benefit to the
community for fifty years, and there
is no sound reason why we should
be taxed to the limit so that posterity
can enjoy these improvements"
Auditor Donovan says the bonds
should be issued redeemable at the
option OF the District Government in
from five TO twenty years.
He believes a mistake was made
wien the last bonds were issued
iorty-eight years ago. These bonds
carried interest of 3.65 per cent, or
cent 4 day. They were for fifty
years. and the interest on them has
amoppted to a big item. he says.
Dohovan points out the present
bonded indebtedness of the District
will be cleared away in 1924. There
~ now about $2.00o,oOo outstanding
in these bonds.

regulations for motor vehicles in the
District and the establishment of a
traffic court will be taken up soon
after Congress convenes by the sub
committee of tho Senate District
Committe Of which Senator Dilling-
ham is chairman.
This subcommittee considered the
question to some extent in the clos
ing part of the last session of Con-
Rress, but no action was taken.
Senator Dillingham; said today that
in view of the number Of accidents
and the agitation over the subject
OF stricter regulations and~a traffic

in the near future and would take
the question up again with a view to
preparing a bill and making report
to the main committee. and through

from Secretary OF War Baker. Attor-
ney General Palmer, and the Commits

for appropriations asked by the War
Department. Department OF Justice.
and government OF the District OF
Columbia, respectively.
II Is understood that Secretary
Baker was questioned sharply con-
corning the present intensive drive
for army recruiting beyond the
authorized strength and the reasons
for the heavy deficit in the War De
partment. plus a demand for the I'M
prccedented sum OF $T0oO 100000 to
maintain the military establishment
during the ensuing year.
The Department OF Justice. which
received a total of $13.0Oo.0O0 in ap-
propriations for all OF it's depart
ments during the current year. Is
asking for appropriations OF about
S2O.000.00o. These. Mr.. Palmer is said
to have declared necessary because
of tho expanded duties OF the depart
ment, the suppression of radical ac-
tivities. and the prosecution OF graft
ers and profteers and other offenders
against federal laws.
A plea was made by the District
Commissioners for increased federal
funds to meet needed improvements
in the District and to care for the in
creased cost OF maintaining the gov
eminent OF the District OF Columbia.
