them, since there was at that tinls
no urgent demand for the issuance Of

time past, it has been strongly urged
by those interested that this DEPART

the department is denying to those

A goodly number Of families have
been guaranteed a joyous Christmas,

It Is hoped that groups OF Government

fore Christmas Eve.
Unemployment has touched many
homes during the past year, and many
reports and letters tell of frail mothers
struggles to scrape together some-
thing to provide Christmas Joy for
their little ones. The Good Fellow does
not mind helping a family where the
husband and father has been out Of
work for long time, because the Good
Fellow is wise enough to know that
he may be in the same boat some day
and he would appreciate the interces-

certain what would make them happy

S1.75 TAX RATE
Permanent IN
new MEASURE
Senator zones Explains Trainers
Intend to Make Any Change
Difficult.

The new District tax bill means
exactly what 1t says-a permanent
S1.75 tangible property tax rate in
Washington" said Senator Wesley
Jones. one Of the founders Of the bill.
today.
''Of course this rate can be changed
in any District appropriation bill, pro-
vided no one makes a point Of order
against It," he added. But, of
course, point Of order would be
made against it. intend to do so
myself II efforts are made to change
year to year. The only other way in
which the tax rate can be changed
10 by passing a new tax law for the
District whenever such a change II
desired, which would be an exceeding
ly difficult, II not impossible, task"
Senator Jones also called attention
to the fact that the bill SO states that
any tax rate for the District must be
fair and reasonable" and that the
Interpretation OF these words neces-
sartly must be left with the courts.
II any taxpayer should appeal to the
courts against a tax rate enacted by
nullify the tax rate decreed by Con-
gress As unfair and unreasonable, but
might go further and itself establish
a fair and reasonable rate.
Senator Jones believes that the
words fair and reasonable afford
ample safeguards to the taxpayers OF
the District and that they need have
no worries on this score.
II do not think the local campaign
against the measure IL justified"
said Senator Jones. Apparently
there Is much MISUNDERSTANDING
among the people Of Washington az
to the meaning Of the bill. Congress
has fixed q permanent tax rate for
the District which Is lower than the
present rate"
The apprehension expressed by
Committee, that the
provision OF tho measure repeating
any limitations on the estimates
which the District Commissioners may
make to Congress, Is believed by Sena.
tor Jones to be unfounded.
1.-THE bill merely means that the
District Commissioners can send just
as large estimates as they please to
the Budget Bureau" said Senator
Jones. There Is no question about
the right Of the Director of the Budget
to adjust the estimates in any way he
sees fit
Although the House is expected to
take action today on the Senate re-
quest to return the measure for re-
consideration, 1t Is possible that the
changes desired by the Senate may
be made by the House District Com
mittee, and thus obviate the necessity
of returning the bill to the Senate.

they have been unable to have the
