priatcd from the Districts tax reve-
nue.. Every dollar he took under the
tax power from the local community
increased correspondingly his own
capital contribution.
The law of 1922 retains the principle
Of definite related capital contribu-
tons, in which the law Of 1878 was
rooted. That the ratio Of this relation
was changed from $3.50 to 60-40 did
not alter the basic principle involved.
The pending proposition destroys all
relation between the national and To-
cal contributions, and, leaving Ill tax.
Ing power In the hands Of tho United
States. deprives the unrepresented
capital of its safeguard against ex-
cessive taxation by n taxing body In
which it Is not represented.
Whenever, if ever. the United States
shall relieve itself from it's self-im-
POSED obligation and promise to con-
tribute for capital upbuilding an an.
nual amount. definitely related to the
local tax contribution. and shall leave
that amount uncertain and f1uctuat-
ing, on the same basis as before 1873,
it should in equity restore to the Dis
trict its power which existed before
1873 of fixing through self-taxation
the amount Of its own capital contri-
button. II the nation is to continue
to exercise the power taken in 1878
to tax the District as it pleases it
should not free itself from the limita-
ton imposed upon excessive local tax
alton by the obligation under the laws
of 1878 and 1922 OF correspondingly
taxing itself.
If the nation is not to share in def
mite ratio in municipal tax paying 1t
ought not in equity to fix the amount
of local taxation. II the local COM
munity is to raise substantially all OF
the local revenue with the nation as
fluctuating and uncertain donor> the
capital must on American principles
be permitted to tax itself, and to de.
termine for itself how much shall be
raised. and by what methods Of taxa.
money shall be expended.
Paris, for example, has full repre-.
sentation in the national government
and also enjoys a practically self-tax,
ing municipal government in which
the national government merely par
ticipates. Though Paris is the pride
of France, upon which national mil
lions both for national and municipal
purposes have been lavished, and
! though the city has it's elected mu'
nicipal council with authority over
taxation and loans, it is dissatisfied
with it's financial relation to the ma
, tion and a few years ago protested al
! the domination in certain matters OF
the central government, which appoint
ed the city's prefect or mayor, instead
| of permitting this officer to be elected
by the people as in other French
cities.

RUBENSTEIN the skin dull and
muddy looking but often lead to
the dreaded pimples and spots call
cd acne.
A blackhead is a tiny dust particle
that embeds itself in the spin, held
there by the natural secretion of the
skin. The pores unable to rid them
selves of these irritants send out
call for help to the little juice-secret-
ing glands which respond by rushing
their moisture to the affected parts.
If the pores are still unable to dis
lodge the impure dust particles the
secretions overflow onto the skins
surface and all the while the pores
are stretching and losing their
power to close.
That is why we seldom see black
heads without shine" and enlarged
pores.
The chief thing to be considered
is how to purify the skin, reduce the
pores to normal and regulate the
secretions.
The opening and closing of the
pores properly is the keynote of cor
rection. To eradicate blackheads you
must penetrate inside the pore
