Streets and Taxes.

II statements by city officials and
citizens associations that the capitals
streets need repair require confirma-
tion 1t is found in the pictures being
printed in The Star and in such news
stories as that which appeared in The
Star under the heading: 'Mire Stalls
Autos in Streets Lined by Fine Resi-
dences."
The street situation is very much Of
scandal. and because Of the COM
plexity Of our government and our
confused and uncertain fiscal relation
ship with the United States, the re-
sponsibility cannot be put up to any
particular person, and the group OF
persons on whom the responsibility
rests is very large one. busy with
million other matters, and there is
no way Of holding it to accountability.

moral accountability" is only a
phrase. How can anybody in the Dis.
trict or all the bodies in the District
hold Congress to accountability, moral
Oh legal!
People Who live on streets bought
property under a contract which by
reasonable Interpretation would en-
title them to streets that would be safe
and available for travel. They pay
taxes. and they pay higher city taxes
tnan the citizens OF a majority of typi-
cal American cities of Washington S
class. They pay these taxes for the
support of government. and the gov
ernment is under obligation not only
to give them fire protection, police
protection and other things, but to
give them streets and keep those
streets in condition for safe travel.
The District government cannot make
over or mend the streets without au-
thority of and appropriation Of money
by Congress, and Congress refuses
to put up the national share Of money
for this work and ties up the Districts s
share.
The situation is bad. The streets in
the older parts of the city are in poor
condition. those in the newer parts OF
the city are generally rough, broken
and rutty, and those in the sections
where the city is growing in an effort
to overcome the house shortage and
mitigate the evil Of high rents and
crowded rooms, are not streets at all.

nj son. and the hyacinth. tulip

their yellow-green spikes

beds and around private residences
are a first indication. But there are
others. aplenty:
President Harding has just sent to
Congress supplemental estimate
from the budget bureau to provide
funds for street cleaning purposes, So
with the first signs of spring come
attendant suggestions of spring
cleaning. Right here seems appro-
pirate suggestion that the full
amount estimated should be included
In the deficiency bill already being
framed. And there is every prospect
that it will be. because the funds held
in reserve by the District officials for
the spring cleaning of streets were
depleted for snow removal after the
big storm, on the direct assurance
from Chairman Madden of the House
appropriations committee that Con-
gress would not be reluctant to make
the amount good
=
The plans Of the District authorities
for spring street cleaning must be an
inspiration to householders. or per-
haps the activity Of the householders
prodded up the officials, because the
fact is that everywhere throughout
the city the residents are now. more
than usual, sweeping, up their side
walks. getting over-winter accumula-
ton of trash out OF their back yards
and generally sticking up.
OF course. the ground is as yet too
wet to allow thorough "clean-up'
campaign. but that is coming. When
the District appropriation bill was
being framed by subcommittee OF
the House appropriations committee.
representatives of the Engineer Com
missioner's Office discussed the desira-
bility Of urging all people to clean
up their premises and of compelling
tho owners of vacant lots to have the
filth. old cans and general rubbish
removed. and II they do not do IT to
have 1t done and collect the costs
from the property owners. AS an il
lustration. the committee was told of
the considerable cleanup of property
fronting the Union station, when the
international conference on Limitation
OF drmdmentS was expected. Ihe En-
gineer Commissioner assured the
committee that he believed there was
ample authority under the health law
to compel such general cleanup

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON
The Cayeman.

The caveman
Was a brave man
BY the scientific records it is shown.
Unyielding.
He was welding
A homemade hammer, neatly built
of stone.
Those days. Tar from present, for a
caveman might be pleasant.
But If one in modern thoroughfares
could stray.
He'd be badly bumped and battered:
and perhaps entirely scattered
BY the motors that go moving on
their way.
A caveman
Was grave man:
And he'd calmly hit a lady on the
head,
Assuring
Love enduring
AS the bruised and blushing bride
was homeward led.
But today he'd sit all humble and he
wouldn't dare to grumble
At the length of speeches, erudite
and free,
Which from ladies find expression. He
would make the sad confession
That a caveman isn't what he used
to be.

4 certain man who had gone to one
Of the New York hotels. and that he
be held for further instructions.
10 clear was the tone ~ the man
made his request that the police were
at nrst In doubt as to whether the
call could have come all the way from
Ut. Louis and were inclined to the
theory thnt they were being hoaxetl
ny some New York practical Joker.
However, detectives were sent out to
make tour Of the hotels Of the city.
and In the meantime further particu'
lars arrived from st. Louis.
The mon was finaily locnted and
when arrested had in his possession
$4,000. according to the police. The
charge against him In st. Louis was
the embezxlement Of $4,000 and re-
