plots of land west of 18th street. north
government buildings, which sites are
being purchased under a special ap-
preparation of $1,500,O00, is contem-
plated by the Public Buildings Com
mission.
This commission, consisting Of a
chairman and ranking members of the
House and Senate committees on pub
lie buildings and grounds. the archi-
tects of the Capitol supervising archi-
tects of the Treasury and the officer
in charge of public grounds In the
city of Washington. Is enthusiastically
behind any public buildings bill which
will give additional government-o owne
buildings in Washington to nouSe all
government activities. 1t is the hope
of members of this commission as
we'll as members of the House and
Senate committees on public buildings
and grounds, that such public build
ings bill for the National Capita! can
be put through in the next session of
Congress.
Senator Smoot of Utah. chairman of

In that letter Senator Smoot points

the public buildings commission has

He also emphasized that the gov

land in that area on which there are
temporary buildings. which will
probably soon be replaced by modern

thousand more government workers.
$1.5OO,OOO for Sites.
While Congress appropriated ST.

Col. c. o. Sheriff., officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, has re-

progress indicate that these sites can
be bought several hundred thousand

the relatively low prices at which the
government is securing the properties
in comparison with the much higher
values placed on other property in the

to start the work on the erection of

DISTRICT ASSURED
FINANCIAL NEEDS
BY BUDGET BUREAU
Gen. Lord Promises Aid In
So Far as Funds Are
Available.

All needs of the District Of Column
bia will be provided for in so far as
funds are available during the next
fiscal year. Gen. H. NJ Lord, director
of the budget, told members Of the
Twentieth Century Club, this after
noon at a meeting in the Cosmos Club
annex.
The District is going to be provided
for in everything 1t needs as far as
funds are available" Gen. Lord said.
Il don't know how much the esti-
| mates will total. But the general
policy will be to withhold appropria
tions only where there is the least
damage done by such action"
Details Budget Bureau Work.
This substantially was the only ref
erence to the District Of Columbia
finances made by Gen. Lord, in half
an-hour talk to members of the club.
He reviewed the national situation
in detail. however, defining the sys-
tenn used by the budget bureau in as
signing appropriations. He reviewed
also the steps taken by the budget
bureau from the time the estimates
arrived to the final hearings upon
them in his office. His talk covered
action of the forty-two independent
offices of the government and the
action of the bureau of the budget
upon their requests for appropria-
| tions.
! Three main points he emphasized
regarding the system employed In
cutting down superficial expenditures
Of the government. He said that the
budget bureau was proceeding to In
stitute a system whereby expendi-
lures would be cut down, first, by
actual saving from current appropri-
alton; secondly. by postponement of
sary, and, finally. by increasing rove
! nue. from established sources.
Favors Tax Reduction.
| He declared emphatically a position
against increasing taxation. but
maintained, on the contrary, that
| taxes, II anything, should be reduced
THE country is now fretting under
| the burden Of taxation" he said.
| 1--WE should strive now not for more
| additional taxes, but for reduction
\ in taxation"
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. William H. Heron. The morn
ing was taken up with submission Of
! reports by officers and committee
chairmen. Miss Greedy, expert in
domestic architecture, delivered a
short address upon Identification Of
| tho home, advocating the improve
mont Of grounds surrounding 1t as
| one of the fine necessities for improv-
! ing domestic architecture.
The following new members were
| elected: HRS. George B. Richardson.
| Mrs. Russell B. Taylor, Mrs. Rosa1ee
Mccormick Smithy, Mrs. Morris B.
Sable, and Mrs Elwood g. Way.
Oficials of the bureau of the budget
probably will call upon the Com
missioners of the District or their
representatives to appear before the
| whole board of estimates again, in
| consideration Of the Districts appeal
for a supplementary allowance to the
$24,5o0,Oo0 budget restriction tenta-
! lively placed by the budget bureau.

built up quite a powerful machine,
rot unlike those of La Toilette in Wis
consin and Hiram Johnson in Cali
fornia. 1t is supposed he wants to
go back to the United States Senatu
two years hence, when Senator Walsh.
democrat, will be up for reelection.
Although the republicans polled 10000
votes and the democrats only half
that number in the recent primaries,
there is a divided opinion as to the
meaning of the result. Some hold the
view that the overwhelmingly repub-
lican administration will mean the
election of Riddick. republican. as
United States senator by a comfort
able margin. Others insist that, ow-
ing to the splendid harvest, thousands
of voters did not have time to go to
the polls in the rural districts, and
that many who voted in the republi-
can primaries did SO out of personal
friendship for the many candidates
entered in that race.
Democrats Stronger.
One thing is clear in Montana. The
wave of dissatisfac ction with the
Harding administration, which is
noticeable farther east, has hardly
produced a ripple in Montana. 1t is
true many democrats who deserted
thelr party III 15EV because ol lnelr
opposition to the league of nations
have gone back to democracy's ranks
but it is very good strategy for a re-
publican here to point with pride to
the Harding administration and
solicit votes on a stand-by-the-ad-
ministration platform.
This state was carried by Woodrow
Wilson in 1916 by about $4,000 votes
1t went for Warren G. Harding in
1920 by the same majority. The
pendulum swung evenly from one
party to the other.
State issues will diminish the re-
publican majority and may even send
Wheeler, a democrat, into the Senate.
though the chances are rather against
such an outcome.

Entire Country Threatened
By Record-B Breaking Drought

All records for drought have been
broken in the District by the present
rainless period. as part Of the gen.
eral widespread drought throughout
the country which the weather bu-
reau characterized as serious" to-
day.
Not a trace of rain has been reg
istered by the weather bureau here
since 4:30 am. September IL, making
which not drop Of rain has fallen
here. Fair weather, with no change
in sight. was forecast locally by the
bureau today.
Crops Threatened.
This is the season of the year when
droughts seem to occur, according to
weather bureau records, but in the
Fast the rainless periods were not
as long in duration, nor as wide
spread in the serious damage now
threatening to crops in all parts OF
the United States.
From September IA to October g..
1910. was the greatest period of
drought in the District in the past.
but on two days during that period
slight traces of rain were registered
by the instruments at the weather
bureau. In contrast to that. the
present period has been absolutely
bone dry" From September 13 to
October 8, last year. also was rainless.
Forced to Give Up Farming.
On account of the record breaking
downpour of September 2 last, when
SIG inches of rain fell. the September
rainfall here was 3.59 inches above
the average September. but this was
solely due to the big rain Of Septem-
Der 2.
Bearing first-hand information as
to the extent Of the present drought
in the great grain states of the middle
west. Gordon Chance. son Of Postmas-
ter NJ O. Chance. returned to Washing
ton today. having been forced by the
drought to give up the 910 acres OF
land which he was farming in Frank
lin ani jefferson counties. Illinois.
The ground in q certain strip in
those counties. Mr.. Chance said, was
so hard that it was necessary to have
