New Year Calling Of Old.

Today's reception at the White

had Its origin in the early times. when
It was regarded as almost incumbent
upon all to make calls of greeting on
New Year day. Naturally the call Of
FIRST importance in this city was upon
the President and his wife, and the
people Of Washington, welcome to the
White House on that occasion,
thronged through the halls Of the man.

executive in person.
In time this reception grew to be a
large function. with thousands in line.
From the White House those who thus
extended the greetings Of the New
Year to the President scattered
throughout the city on a round Of
calls, including the houses Of the high

friends. Only on a few doorbells hung

Mr.. Wilson's Supreme Confidence.

Mr.. Wilson is in buoyant mood. The
other day, in replying to some friendly
salutations from Missouri, he predict
ed democratic success this year and in
1924. Later, he has replied to some
friendly salutations from the Women's
Democratic Political League in these
terms:
The message from the W.omen's
Democratic Political League gave me
very great pleasure. and ! wish to ex-
press to you-and through you TO your
associates of the league--my heart
felt thanks for the cheer it has given
me, together with my best wishes ior
show that the democratic party has
entirely regained the confidence of
the nation.
Mark the language: This year is
certain to show that the democratic
party has entirely regained the con-
fidence of the nation"
What explains this supreme con-
fidence on Mr.. Wilson's part? What is
the source of his information? Has he
the goods? Or is he simply obeying
the old injunction laid upon political
leaders. when venturing upon predlc-
ton, to 'claim everything, and claim
it confidently?
What has happened in the twelve
months since the fact was recorded at
the polls that the democratic party
had lost the confidence Of the nation?
The republicans have taken charge,
and for ten months have been occupied
with plans for redeeming their cam
paign promises and clearing path to
norn,alcy. They have not made bril-
liant progress. but have developed divi-
sions in Congress and out.
Is it Mr.. Wilson's idea that those
divisions cannot be healed? That. on
the contrary, they will widen and
deepen, and by November engulf the
party in power? Does his supreme
confidence rest upon that calculation?
The republicans should take notice.
II that is not Mr.. Wilson's calculation,
it is the calculation of many democrats
Of prominence, and particularly of
those now engaged in putting the
party in shape for the contest for con-
troll Of the Sixty-eishth Congress.

Blister Rust on the Pacific Coast.

Blister rust, scourge of the white
pine, which was unknown in this
country until twenty years ago and
which was confined to the eastern
United States and the eastern
provinces of Canada until it spread
to Minnesota and Wisconsin few
years ago, has now develn~"d IN
British Columbia and the northeast
ern part OF Washing ION sta,e.
The region in which it has most
recently appeared is of great i'm
pertance in the timber industry.
There is to be a public hearing in
Washington before the Federal
horticultural Board of the United
States Department of Agriculture on
january 23 to determine whether the
federal quarantine against the blight
elsewhere shall be extended TO the
threatened area.
blister rust is spread through cur
rant and gooseberry bushes, wild or
cultivated. These carriers are found
in all our forests. Cultivated black
ourrants are particularly hospitable
to the scourge. Their destruction is
the only known means to check the
spread of the pest.
Much Of the timber threatened on
the Pacific is in the national forests.
The area endangered contains more
than $1,000, 100000 feet of lum-
ber, having d market value of more
than $22S.000,00O. The territory al
ready infested is in the region of
Sumas City and Mount Vernon, and is
comparatively small.-New York

night. It Is indicated that progress Is
being made toward the elimination Of
useless and confusing lines, tables and
notes ard reduction Of the return to
the lowest possible terms to suit the
purposes Of the taxpayers whose in
come comes chiefly from single sources.
These are greatly in the majority.
About 20 per cent of the people using
the $4,000 form, it is estimated, have
incomes from only salaries and wages,
and possibly interest, and have very
few deductions to make from those
incomes. For them the new form will
be blessing. 1t is true that most
people seek help in making out their
income tax returns. They must do so
or live in fear of being hailed to JUS
tice by the income tax collector. who
has an eagle eye for variations and de-
ficiencies. Perhaps the new forms will
not be so simple after all as to enable
these taxpayers to make out their own
returns with confidence. But more of
them will be willing to try If, as 1t Is

cut from six to four. and if the utterly
confusing block system formerly used
by the majority of taxpayers is sup
planted by another mode.
What the Treasury wants to know
is the amount and source Of the in
come. What the taxpayer wants to
know is the amount of the tax which
he must pay. 1t has never seemed
quite clear why the taxpayer should
be compelled to figure out his own
tax, why, in short, he should not mere
ly report his income to the Treasury
and receive from 1t bill based upon
that return. In the case of quarterly
payments bills are rendered every
three months. and an initial bill should
belrendered upon the receipt of the re-
turn and computation by the collector
of taxes Every taxpayers computa-
tion is subject to revision in any case.
His own "sum" is never accepted on
it's face. So why not let him report
the basic figures and await the result
as far as official record is concerned,
even though he may take expert ad-
vice in order to inform himself as to
his prospective payment?

The District and the New Year.

Washington faces the new year in
spirit of hope that Congress in deal.
ing with it as it's sole legislative body,
In which it is not represented, will
treat it with fairness and equity, and
full consideration for it's helplessness.
IL the measure now pending before the
House, with the Senate's approval, is
adopted the guarantee Of nearly half
a century of fixed federal assi>~nce
Will have been destroyed. All revenues
OF the District from tax sources will
be swept into the Treasury till and
merged with federal funds. No obliga-
tion, whatever, will then rest upon
Congress to appropriate for District
maintenance and development even
the amount Of those local revenues,
let alone an amount equal to twice the
sum of those revenues, as under the
organic act. 1t has been said that if
this system is adopted the District can
confidently depend upon the disposi-
tion of Congress to deal generously
and constructively with the National

zation increased in size and efficiency.
It hopes, in short, to become the model
American municipality. 1t can only
become such by virtue of generous ex-
penditures.
The District is willing to do its full
part in this process. to pay the fullest
measure Of taxes to this end. Its pres
ent tax burden is heavy, comparing
with those of other cities of relatively
the same size. 1t does not look for
ward with any degree Of satisfaction
to a condition in which it may be
greatly overtaxed in order to carry
alone. or nearly alone. the burden OF
National Capital maintenance. Yet
this prospect is present In the meas

that body, despite the record of the
past few years in which the District
has suffered at it's hands, the capital
community now looks for justice.
