rate of taxation for that year. 1t was
the intention of Congress that this
power of increas sing the tax rate was
given to the Commissioners for the
purpose of producing an increased
revenue to meet the increased cost
thrown upon the District by this leg
islation. Certainly it would be in
equitable to cast upon the taxpayers
of the District of Columbia. merely
by inference, the burden OF not only
paying this increase of 10 per cent
in the share borne by the District. but
over and above that to create sur
plus fund. which might be done year
after year, to lie idle in the Treas
ury."
Surplus revenues to the credit OF
the District now lying idle in the
United States Treasury are said to ap.
proximate four million and one-haif
dollars. II the Commissioners con-
tinue the practice of adopting tax
rare that will produce an amount OF
revenue barely sufficient to meet the
Districts obligations under the. ap-
preparation bills. the Treasury sur
plus fund will record no more exten-
sive gains.
1t was stated at the District build
ing today that had Congress not sub
stituted the 6O-4O for the $3.50 plan
of appropriating for the District, the
Capital. now being required to pay
the larger share. the tax rate this year
would have been $1.5O.
Mr.. Donovan's report to the COM
missioners showed that the net reve-
nues collected by the District during
the fiscal year just ended amounted to
3.255.lS947 The appropriation
charges against the revenues OF the
District for the same period amounted
to $12739.773.09. Revenues exceed ap-
preparation charges. therefore. by

FUNDING BILL OPPOSED.
Senators Inform President of Oh
jection-Two Conferences Held.

The Administrations bill proposing
broad powers for the Secretary of the
Treasury in funding the allied debts
to the United States. as discussed at a
dinner conference last night between
President Harding and Senators Pen
rose of Pennsylvania and Watson of
Indiana, also is understood to have been
the subject of a conversation between
the President and Secretary Mellon to-
day at the iatter's Office.
The executive is understood to have
been informed by Senate leaders that
such opposition to the bill in its pres
ent form has developed that some
changes probably will be necessary.
Opposition was said to center par
ticularly on that section of the bill
which would authorize the Secretary
in funding the debts to accept bonds
Of other than debtor nations.

HOW FOREIGNERS:

Forbidden! !. to . Hold Property and
Cannot Become Citizens TIL :
They Adopt Jap Name.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 29-In a
letter to the Public Ledger, w. r
Penrose encloses the following infor-
nation forwarded to him from the
Orient: 49,
1T is interesting how the Japanese
are appealing to Americas sense of
fair play regarding japanese immi-
grafton in California. I hope that
the states will act fairly but in doing
so, cognizance should be taken OF
these two facts: First. that no for-
eigner can be naturalized as a JAP
anese without marriage into a Jap
anese family and adoption of a JAP
anese name: second. no foreigner can
own real estate in Japan.:..
Again, the Japanese do not admit
Of an entrance of foreign coolie labor,
including Chinese and Korean labor.
Recently 400 Chinese coolies were sent
back from Japan to China. They
have just hitherto denied to foreign
ers the rights they demand for. them
selves.
1.-Two things. and not one thing,
produce war. One is injustice and
the other is sentimental weakness.
America abhors injustice but does
not always abhor sentimental weak
ness" ...

OWNERS REFUSE

Anthracite Coal Operators Notify
Miners General Wage Increase
s..,,,
Will Not be Given. y.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29-An-
tkracite coal owners have notified
workers that a. general wage increase
will not be granted, but that tndi-
vidual cases of rate inequality will be
considered.
The miners are asking for gen.
eral increases. a S. minimum for day
labor and a universal S-hour day.
The coal owners decision is the
elimination of series of dramatic
incidents following the award of a
wage commission several months
ago. An unauthorized strike followed
this award. and when the strike ended
President Wilson called the coal own
ers and miners in conference to ad-
just matters. The two parties failed
to agree on a definition Of the trem
INEQUALITIES" used by the president
The coal owners insisted that the
president meant Inequalities in the
commissions award and the miners
insisted that it meant all Inequalities.
The matter was referred to Secretary
of Labor Wilson. who made a rule
that was accepted by both parties.
After much time was consumed the
coal owners now refuse to consider
increases. They say the cost Of living
Is being lowered.
