D. C. COMMITTEE
PLANS RESTORING
$3.50 SYSTEM
Senate Conferees Desire
Return to Old Fiscal
Arrangement.

BY deciding yesterday to put the
Jones bill on District taxation
ahead of many other measures, the
Senate Committee on the District
% Columbia indicated its intention
of restoring. before the beginning
Of the new fiscal year. the $3.50
fiscal system, by which the Fed
eral government pays half the ex-
penses of running the National Cap
ital.
Under revisions of the law made
last session by the House and con-
CURED in by the Senate conferees
under protest. the District govern
ment pays so per cent OF the an
nual expenses, while the Federal
government pays 40 per cent. The
supply bills. which become effective
July 1 for the fiscal year of 1922.
carry the 60-40. ratio. which win
stand as TO those already made.
But the possibility of changes in
the system affecting other meas
ures to be enacted is said to have
prompted the efforts Of Senators in
terested in washington's affairs to
restoration at once of the old $3.50
arrangement. which was in vogue
for many years
VIII Investigate Bill.
The Jones bill will be taken up
by the District Committee next

sioners in making estimates not to
exceed twice the amount of estf-
mated revenues
II the Jones bill is agreed e
and reported out. its passage Is
assured. according to those sup
porting 1t, by the approval already
expressed or intimated among Sen.
ators. II will seek to permanently
adjust the Federal-District financial
relationship, which has been the
subject of many bitter controver.
sizes.
At the meeting yesterday the
District Committee. Of which Sena.

Is Bozeman to be the last to start
work on the new college buildings ?
At the recent offering of the state
bonds in Helena there was not a sim

the bond market. But that did not
stop Missoula. The banks of that city
and a large commercial house made
arrangements to take up $780, 900
worth Of the bonds so that work on
the foundations of the new buildings
there could be started. In Butte a
similar move has been taken. What
about it, Bozeman? The architects

work will be started rests upon local

for now.
