FIGHT CENTERS
ON JONES RIDER
Conferees Still Locked on
d. G. Appropriation
Measure.
LONG DELAY LOOMS
House and Senate Members
Will Discuss Amended
Bill Again Today.

There was no indication yester-
day of an early break in the con-
ference deadlock over the District
appropriations bill.
House conferees suggested elimi-
nation OF the proposal of using the
5000, 600 accumulated tax revenues
of the District for strictly Distric:
payments in the joint expenses Of
the Capital; elimination of pro-
posai that the first $4,000 of i'm
provements on real estate be ex-
empt from taxes; Increase in the
proposed tax rate of s1.75 contained
in the Jones rider.
Keller Explains Details.
Senator Phipps, of Colorado.
chairman OF the Senate Appropria-
tions subcommittee In charge Of
District appropriations, said last
night that the Jones rider, involving
the question of what proportion OF
the Capitals expenses the Federal
government shall pay, has not been
reached formally, indicating that
the fiscal discussions have merely
been incident to the school, street
and other items under consideration.
Engineer Commissioner Keller
and others of his office were called
before the committee to explain
some details in regard to appropria-
lions which the Senate placed In the
bill, and II was said that other Dis
trict officials might be called be-
fore the conference Is ended.
Serious Delay Feared.
A statement by Senator Wesley L.
Jones, of Washington State, who
with Senators Phipps, and Glass of
Virginia, are the Senate conferees,
that practically no progress was
made yesterday, was believed to be
a sign that the differences of views
in the House and Senate are going
to be the cause of a serious delay
in the appropriations bill, which has
been in conference now for more
than a week.
Another meeting of the conferees
will begin at 10 o'clock this morn
ing and continue, it Is expected
throughout the day. The Jones
rider, regarded as the principal
hitch, abolishes the 500 law, by
which the Federal government has
until recently paid half the expenses
of the Capital.
Chief Cause OF Dispute.
By arbitrary action the House and
Senate Appropriations Committees
have for two years fixed the rate
at 900, the plan by which the
national government pays the
smaller sum. Attempts by the
House to substitute this ratio per-
manently for the $50 fiscal plan
met with disapproval in the Senate
and as a result of the long wranglt
the Senate passed the Jones bill
abolishing any fixed ratio. provid'
ing for a $1.75 tax rate and the
payment by tho Federal government
of what balances the District needed
after exhaustion of its tax collec-
lions. The House would not pasi
this bill, and 1t was made a rider
to the District appropriations bill
by the Senate. 1t is the cause of al
the trouble, because the ratio OF
appropriations in all items in the
bill will be decided by its passage
or rejection. Most of these items
so far as the Senate is concerned
are based on the 500 ratio. while
on the House side the rstio of Co
40 was retained.
