INDUSTRIES MEETING
GOES OVER BIG

The meeting of the CONNER
cial Club last Tuesday evening
would have been a great surprise
to anyone not familiar with the
Islands way of doing things.
Those of us who had been fed up
ON the best, however, were more
than pleased with the Industrial
Meeting-the large attendance,
the way the program was hand
eled-the Instructive, optimistic
talks-the exhibits and the tenn
per of the occasion generally.
The president, E. H. Miller
said we would lay over all rou-
tine business until next meeting,
and, after reading letter from.
the grange in regard to a local
fair exhibit, the chairman of the
Committee on New Industries,
Harry E. Heating, was asked to
preside, which he did during this
special program to the satisfac-
ton of all. We feel that Mr..
Heating did lot Of thinking and
faithful work in regard to get
ting up the industrial program,
and that he deserves the thanks
of the community for his part in
it.

1t seems but few years ago
when, on Memorial Day, the G.
A, R. was represented by a large
group of middle-aged men who
had their own ritual, firing squad
fife and drum corps and who, by
the way, held the balance of pow
er IN politics.
The Spanish American war al
most blended the blue and the
gray for the South was just as
eager as the North to strike at
oppression.
With the World War our hori-
ION has been again widened and
Memorial Day is precious not on
ly to us of the United States but
to a large part of Europe as well.
A proper Memorial Day OBJ

to our nation and citizens will do
well to guard its sacred traditions
and beautiful practices as long as
time shall last,

resi- lgnation Of William J. Burns, has
been appointed director of the bureau,
IT was announced today by Attorney

we do not derive as much from in
come tar as you Americans and the
British do, but you must remember
that income tax is only a portion of
the French taxation system. We have
other and very enerous taxes to pay.
And our workmen do not get your
wages. A days pay of a bricklayer
in the United States would keen a
French family of 8 or 10 persons a
week. But we are turning the corner.
The balance Of trade. long against
us, is being diverted in our favor.
Everybody is at work, unemploy-
ment is nil. AS far as workman and
peasant can make 1t, our financial
situation Is good. Returns from in
come tax have trebled. But even
with all these things our economics,
as a nation, are not altogether pleas
ant or rosy. When we have COM
pleted our work OF restoration Of our
ravaged provinces, and thus cured
a national malady which no healthy
nation can indefinitely tolerate, we
shall be in position to adjust our

D.C. RENT DATALA|D
BEFORE PRESIDENT
Chairman Whaley Said to
Uphold View That Housing
Emergency Still Exists.

Following his announced intentions
several weeks ago TO study the hous-
ing situation. in Washington, Presf-
dent Coolidge today conferred with
Richard Whaley. District OF Columbia
Rent Commission chairman.
In response to White House sum-
mons, Commissioner Whaley took be-
fore the President considerable data
concerning the rent situation and
figures and facts dealing with the
work of the Rent Commission since
its origin. He will take additional
information 10 the President.
1t is understood that the Pre- sident
is very anxious to determine whether
an actual housing emergency still
exists. During the year he has re-
ceived many communications most of
them contending that rentals are ex-
crbitant and beyond the ability Of
Government employees 70 pay.
Chairman Whaley is represented as
of feeling that an emergency does
exist, There is no doubt in his mind
about rentals being beyond reach of
the average citizen, He is of the
opinion that there is distressing
shortage OF homes of moderate prices.
He admits that there are many vacan-
cies in apartments, but these are
apartments at high prices, he says.
Sees Rents Higher Here.
Mr. Whaley made a study in hous-
ing conditions in other cities and con-
siders rentals in Washington higher
han in the larger cities of the East
He was Unable TO say, after seeing
the President, just what the result
viii be following this conference.
President Coolidge in his attempt
70 bring about a remedy has in
structed the Department OF Justice
70 invest tasate charges OF fraudulent
lnanipulat on on the part OF some real
estate de alers in pyramiding valua-
lions in srder to obtain larger rent.
The PRECEDENT expects to receive 4
report OF the Attorney General re-
;sard!ng this investigation shortly.
