In order to finance the work of
the decorations committee and to
meet the expenses attendant upon
the laying out of camp sites, put
ting up grandstands, printing. and
a host Of smaller items, the COM
mittec raised a fund of $500, 000S
materially increased by the sale
OF grandstand seats and returns
from concessions.
The work of the finance COM

in the Capital. A complete census
Of every line OF business was
made.
It was found that there are 81

ton. Thomas z. FARRELL, chairman
of the finance committee, accord
ingly appointed a subcommittee
for each line Of commercial enter
prise. the members OF the S37
committees being, as far as pos
sible, Shriners engaged In the
same or similar lines Of business
as the men to whom they had
been assigned.
Subscription cards were pre-
pared for each of the more than
10000 business men in the city,
and each OF these men was per-
sonally interview by q member Of
the committee assigned to his
classification. So ready was the
response that by the end of Feb.
ruary, a full month before the
financial campaign has been even
started in past sessions, the COM
plete success Of the fund was
assured.
Slightly less than $S00.00o was
actually expended in San Fran
cisco, last year and the bank
clearings there during the two
weeks in which the session took
place totaled $22.70o,o00 above the
clearings for the same two weeks
OF the previous year. It is ex-
pected that in excess Of $4,000
900, or slightly. less than $40 for
each man, woman and child, white
and colored, will be left in Wash

to the business interests
Of any city where these sessions
are held is shown by the records
made in recent years. The Shrine
membership IL increasing by leaps
and bounds. and on all these COCA
sions those attending the sessions
spend large sums Of money.
In 1919 the Shrine session was
held in Los Angeles. and the bank
clearings for that week showed
an increase Of $7.O00,000. At that
time there were only $4,000 mem
bers. The membership now is
more than 100000.
In 1890 Al Kader Temple, in
Portland. Ore, raised $4,000 for
the entertainment OF the 100000
out-of.town guests, and Portland
bank clearings for that week
showed an increase OF $1,000 900.
The financial benefits to cities
where the Shrine conventions are
held have shown steady in
crease year after year till 1922.
when at San Francisco the bank
clearings showed an increase OF
$27, 900, 900. Shriners and other
visitors Travelled across the CONT
nent to San Francisco to attend
the sessions and participate in
the festivities Of the occasion.
In 1923, with the sessions in
Washington; the nations Capital
city, with all its historical associa-
tons, it's world-famed buildings,
it's art treasures, it's scenery. it's

where the United States really

mountain-all these attractions
are offered to a membership Of
more than 100000 Shriners who
live within 500 miles of Washing

In the announcement of his pur-
pose made today, however, it is
said to be uncertain whether the

It is thought that a further re
duction in higher sur-taxes is the
only effective method Of competing
with tax exempt investments.
The secretary may also suggest
