MARION. December 2s.-The rnors
recent conferences in Marion, especially
those already held or planned with con-
gressional leaders. have developed the
fact that President-elece Harding is to

Many of these influences were at work

to a virtual denunciaion Of all the pfin-
ciples Of prpgresSivism. 1t was easy
enough to curb this element in the COM

facing a national election and had been
out of power in the executive govern
ment for eight years.
But things are changed now. The
party Is going into power at Wash

ficient to carry through any sort of
legislation that may be determined

WATER TAX CHANGE
DEPENDS 0NSENATE
Current Minimum Rate of
$5.65 Is Carried in
District Bill.

There will be no change during The
next fiscal year in the minimum rat.
or $5.S5 for water furnished private
households in Washington, unless the
Senate amends the District bill. as
passed by the House.
This was pointed out by officials at
the District building today, who III :
rected attention to the fact that the
House in passing the appropriafin,
bill did not order a revision of the
water rate up or down.
In addition. it was stated that the
estimates Of the Commissioners for
operation of the water department fo,
the next fiscal year are based on con.
tinuation Of the $5.65 rate.
Rate Increased by Congress.
In the absence Of legislation in the
new appropriation bill. the existing
rate for water will continue, When
Congress inserted clause in the last
appropriation law directing the Com
missionerS to increase the water rent
by not less than IS per cent it added
a sentence, providing that the increase
shall remain in effect until otherwise
ordered by Congress.
Prior to this action of Congress the
minimum rate was 4.50, which al.
lowed for the use of $4,000 gallons a
year. An additional charge is made
for water used in excess of that
amount.
Opposed by Con,nissioners.
The increase in the rate last year
was made presumably to help cover
the cost of certain engagements and
improvements to the water system.
The Commissioners opposed the in
crease, contending that capital ex-
penditures for betterments should be
met out of the general funds of the
United States and District govern
ments and not charged up to the
present users of water.
The city heads pointed out at that
time that the revenue derived from
the $3.50 rate was sufficient to cover
the operating expenses Of the water
department.
Attention of Congress also was di-
rected to the fact that the United
States and District governments pay
nothing for the water they use. When
the last appropriation bill was under
consideration it was estimated that
the two governments use half Of the
total daily consumption.
