To. understand why rents are so
high almost everywhere, there's no
city SO we'll worth studying as Wash
ington.
It isn't alone that Washington's a
typical city, though that's true, too.
The main consideration is that, due
to congressional control of its affairs,
its troubles are public property.
Others may conceal theirs. Washing
ton can't.
AS a wartime measure, a rent COM

One important development in Eu-
rope is that the French are taxing
themselves more heavily. Recently
tax receipts totaled a fifth more than
a year ago.
The English for several years have
been scanning about the low tax rate:
in France--lower per capita than in
England, by far. That was because
France was mortgaging the future,
expecting to get more out of Germany
than now appears possible.
The French seem to be changing

FOOTBALL.

Washington
BY HARRY B. HUNT

ceived a journalistic jolt. It's lin a
daze waiting for the fireworks to start.
All of which is the result of the
announcement that George Harvey
of Peacham, VT, picker of presidents
and ex-ambassador to the Court of
st. James, will take charge on June
1, as editorial director" of the Wash
ington Post.
The Post is owned by E. B. Nc
Lean, whose private wires and tele-
grams were the subject of consider
able interest during one stage of the
Fall-Sinclair oil lease investigation.
The question that is puzzling Off
.cial Washington, and which politicians
would give lot to know, is:
"What will Harvey do with Nc
Leans newspaper ?"
The attitude of both Mclean and
Harvey toward the Coolidge candf-
dacy is a topic for endless specula-
ton. Mclean was one of the closest
friends of President Harding, but it
has been intimated there is little love
lost on either side between Coolidge
and Mclean.
Harding made Harvey ambassador
to Great Britain, but Harvey resign
ed the Post shortly after Coolidge en-
tered the White House. .
All of which may or may not be
significant.
Harvey, as a Democrat, played an
active part in putting over Grover
Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson for
president. Switching to the Republican
side, he helped roll up 100000 ma
jority for Harding in 1920,
The Mclean papers originally were
Democratic. Later they were "Inde-
pendent" During the Harding cam
paign they took their place as active
supporters Of the Republican program.
"What1l they do in 1924 ?" is the
present question. The answer, how
ever, is awaited with curiosity rather
than trepidation by both sides.
The probable answer is that George
Harvey of Peacham, Vermont, will
support Calvin Coolidge of Plymouth,
Vermont Green Mountain boys must
stick together;
But from his past record, first with
the Springfield Republican and Chica-
go Daily News, later with the New
York World and still later as editor
of Harper's Weekly, the North Ameri-
can Review and Harveys Weekly, the
only thing certain is that his position
is uncertain.
The window dresser had done
good job, and the one perfect peach
of hat in the center stood out like
a diamond in platinum setting
1t was but natural, then, that the
dark haired, brewn-eyed woman who
was passing hesitated, waved and went
inside She hadn't intended buying
hat that morning, it was evident, but
when a woman sees a hat she likes
there's only one answer.
The clerk obligingly brought the
hat from the window. 1t was tried on.
Then half a dozen others were ex-
amined, but always the customer re-
turned to the first.
"I'll take this one" she said finally,
AoiuiH5 ouI LIE peIIeCI peach tHdL Hdu
first caught her eye. "Do you accept
charge accounts ?"
Certainly. What is the name and
address ~
MRS. Calvin Coolidge, the White
House." was the answer.
Which proves that, when it comes
to hats, the First Lady is just as sus-
ceptible to the lure of millinery as the
lowliest of her sisters.

While a slight decline IN
wholesale prices between April,
1923, and April, 1924, is report
ed by the U. S. Bureau of La
bor Statistics, the agricultural
producer has derived little II
any benefit from the decrease.
Agricultural products were la
per cent lower than in 1928,
that is, 80 per cent above the
level of 1918. AT the same
time clothing was 1S9 per cent
of the pre-war figure, and
building materials 1872 per
cent.
The story told by these sta
tistical facts is the same thas
they have been telling Tor
three years. The Republican
tariff has protected every
thing the farmers of the coun-
try have had to buy but ha'
added nothing to the prices OF
what they had to sell.

this section, makes it plain, as
may be seen from news item
carried in this issue, that his
continued search for the hidden
Liquid gold" here depends on
further cooperation from the
land owners in his block of
acreage.
Mr.. Thurman began opera
tions here about four years ago
as one of the main hackers of
the old Tycap test, which went
for enough to show that we
really have oil here of unusual
ly high gravity. This well was
drilled at an expense of $17o,-
100000.
After the failure to make a
we'll there because of an i'm
possible fishing job, Mr.. Thur
man organized the Columbus
Hope Oil Co., backed mainly
by his friends in his home
city of Columbus, Ohio. They
took over what was first known
as the Cavender block, east of
town anG spudded in on King
No. |. Misfortune overlook
them and they were forced to
abandon this hole at 2107 feet.
They then skidded the rig and
began drilling their No. 2,
which is now down 2145 feet.
A sand rich in oil was passed
up at 2147 feet because they
drilled into it unexpectedly
and could not set the casing so
g to ehut off the water. 1t
is believed the lower Trinity
formal on, which produced at
TIE Tycsp, would be tapped
within the next 200 feet, and
il will indeed. be regrettable if
Mr.. Thurman is unable to DO
this. The company has spent
a total of $4,000 on their Nos
