Monday, Nov. I'll. - We were all
jigged up with odd jobs to-day, getting
ready to start the big works tomorrow.
The remainder Of the ensilage was put
into the silo. w. Langridge rode a
tractor, with a disc attached, all over
the cleared field west of the dairy and
put it in condition for Rowe to plant
to rape, for hog pasture. Rowe plant
ed a few acres of oats for the same
purpose. The big moulder machine
was running to-day, getting out floor
ing, and from now on this work will be
run through in order to keep up our
building operations. The Langridge
family has moved into town and are
living in the house Ma and Dad Thorn
as used to inhabit. Langridge Sr. will
take start at the building operations
tomorrow. He and crew will begin
to get out the material for the Roof
Garden and this crew will be kept
steadily at such work until our city is
built or the cash and material gives
out. We depend on you outside peo-
pie to furnish the cash while we make
the material. Will you keep up your
end of the job and he lp us in this all
work? A cooperative city,
a city beautiful and modern, built and
owned by the workers. 1t sounds good

WORDS OF WISDOM

Property is the fruit Of labor; pro-
perty is desirable; is a positive good
in the world. That some Should be
rich shows that others may become
rich, and hence is just encouragement
to industry and enterprise. Let not
him who is houseless pull down the
house Of another, but let him work
diligently and build one for himself,
thus by example assuring that his
own shall be safe from violence when
built.-Abraham Lincoln.

COLLECTED IN CITY
Increase Over Preceding
Year Is $3,224,840, COL
Iector Reports.

The District government collected
$16.045,836.28 in taxes during the fis-
cal year ended June 80 last. according
to the annual report of Chatham NJ.
Towers, collector, submitted to the
Commissioners.
This record is s3,224,s40.20 more
than the total amount collected in
the preceding fiscal year, due largely
to the increase in the tax rate last
year from $3.50 to s1.95 per 500 of as
sessed value on real estate and tangi-
BILE personal property.
The increase in the tax rate had to
be made by the Commissioners as a
result of the action of Congress in
ordering the District to meet so per
cent OF the annual appropriations in
stead of so per cent. which had been
the Districts share for many years.
Real Estate Taxes.
Real estate taxes paid last year
amounted to $S.024.344.S0. OF this
amount $7.214,O6912 was on taxes for
the current year. while the balance of
approximately a million dollars was
paid on tax bills that have been in ar
rears from preceding years.
The collectors report shows that
there is another million dollars of
last years real estate tax levy still
ohpaio' Inns oeiInaueney occurs
every year, but is offset by the pay
ments received on taxes in arrears
from previous years.
Personal Property.
On tangible personal property the
people last year paid $2,843,09198.
which is 100000 more than was re-
ceived from the same source the pre-
ceding year.
Taxes on intangible personal prop
erty amounted to s916,5s3.41. an in
crease of $4,000 over the preceding
year.

on Miss Robertson.

in no way represents women. though
she sits as the only woman in Con-

son. republican. Oklahoma. in a state

in the leagues statement.
Miss Robertson contended she never
had told President Harding there was
no woman qualified to sit as an Amer

her statement continued, SHOW me

leagues delegation which conferred
with President Harding relative to

SENATOR LODGE ELIGIBLE

Other Gases Pointed Out in Which
Senators Served on Com
missions.

The suggestion that Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, might be ineligible
to serve as one Of the American dele
gates to the disarmament confer
ence here in November. because of a
constitutional Limitation providing
that senators shall not hold civil Of
fees under the government during
their term of office, was discounted
at the Capitol today.
1t was pointed out that Mr.. Lodge
as a delegate to the disarmam ment
conference would in no sense be a
civil officer of the government. since
no office has been created .y law.
He will merely be one of the repre-
sentatives of the President at an
international conference.
1t was pointed out also that the
peace commission appointed by
President Mckinley to negotiate
peace with Spain after the signing of
the armistice had three senator's
among it's members. Also Senator
Lodge himself in 1908. while in the
Senate. served on the Alaskan COM

of Washington. Also the late. Senator
Morgan Of Alabama served as a

Bering sea negotiations. The three

new SHIP BOARD POLICY.
"Bare Boat" Charter System to Be
Used in Rentals,

Chairman Lasker has decided to
substitute bare boat" charter for
the system under which practically all
Shipping Board vessels are now oper-
ated. 1t was announced last night
after the chairman had conferred
with President Harding. Instead of
the boats being turned over to opera :
tors on 5 per cent commission basis
1t is the boards intention to adopt a
uniform charter under which the ves-
sells Will be leased on a tonnage basis,
the lessee assuming the same risks of
profit or loss as he would under the
routine commercial charter.
Under the charter now in use, known
as the managing-operators agree
ment. Mr.. Lasker explained, both the
government and the operator profited
when traffic was plenty and rates were
high, but only the government lost
when there was a surplus Of tonnage
causing decline in rates below the
point where they would meet operat-
ing expenses. -
The board has ordered survey
made as basis for working out de.
tails of the new rental plan.
