MOORE TELLS PLANS
TO BEAUTIFY CITY
Fine Arts Body Chairman Says
Best Talent of Nation Should
Direct Development.

Charles Moore, chairman of the
Commission of Fine Arts, speaking at
dinner last night in his honor at
the Arts Club of Washington, de-
clared that Washington is the ma
tlonal city and it's development ac-
cording to an orderly plan should be
carried out by the best talent the
whole nation has to offer.
Mr.. Moore recounted various steps
taken in the realization of the
LEnfant plan and suggested that by
the time of the cele ebration of the
two-hundredth anniversary of Wash
1nston's birthday in 1892, the District
or Columbia should have complete ed
the original plan.
In the matter Of plans for a greater
washington, Mr.. Moore called atten-
ton to the fact that the authorities
or Arlington county are now taking
up questions of new streets, avenues
and ooulevards and a zoning system,
All projects in carrying out the idea
of the developme ent of the Virginia
side or the Potomac in harmony with
the development of the city Of Wash
ington.
The government owns in Virginia
the old Fairfax estate Of Belvoir, now
Camp Humphreys, and a great tract
at Occoquan, in all several thousand
acres. The battlefield of Manassas is
to, be improved as n park. These prop
critics, together with Arlington Fort
Meyer and Mount Vernon, all belong in
the park system of greater Washing
ton, Mr.. Moore said.
President and Mrs. Arthur Frank
lyn MuSgrave of the club were hosts
al the dinner. About 100 members
and friends were present.

TRAFFIC BOARD SAYS
CITY CAN FIX RULES
Holds Arterial Highway and Full
Stop Designations Are Up to
Commissioners.

The District traffic board does not
believe an act of Congress is neces-
sary to enable the Commissioners to
designate certain main avenues as
through traffic streets and REQUIRE
vehicles to stop before crossing such
thoroughfares.
The traffic board, composed Of AS
sistant Engineer Commissioner Hal
combe, Inspector Headley and AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Hart
made this report to the Commissioners
today. They were asked for the -e
port as the result of the introduct,o,
in Congress of a bill by Representa-
tive Mcleod, creating so-called
through traffic streets and also re-
qulring that vehicles to come to a stop
before emerging from an alley.
Hampered by Fund Shortage.
The traffic board stated that lack
of available funds for marking inter-
sections and not lack of authority
has prevented the adoption of the
through traffic street system. Thew
call attention to the fact that two
estimates calling for total of S32,-
500 are now pending before the budget
bureau to provide for this and other
traffic needs. They believe If funds
are made available the Commissioners
already have power to declare GER
tain avenues ls traffic ,boulevards.
The trathc Board IS of .he ortc,oo
that the present regulations limiting
vehicles to six miles an hour enter
ing or leaving an alley afford ade-
quate protection to pedestrians

the committee. James Il. Page of
Kansas City, Mo-, who is aiding Sem

PRODUCE EXCHANGE
SALES TAX IS CUT
Senate Committee Approves
so Per Cent Reduction.
May Report Tuesday.

The tax on produce exchange sales
was cut in half today by the Senate
finance committee to conform to the
action taken by the House in framing
the revenue bill. This tax of cents
on each 800 sale previously had been
ordered continued by the Senate.
Another attempt by Senator Reed,
republican, to provide taxation on
state, municipal and federal securi-
ties, now tax-exempt, was defeated.
Adjournment of the Senate over Satur-
day was proposed in a program outlined
today by Chairman Smoot of the Senate
finance committee, looking to completion
of work on the revenue bill by tomor-
row night SO a report on the measure
may be made to the Senate Monday or
Tuesday. The week end Adjournment
would give the committee an entire day
on the bill, and he thought this might
be sufficient.
New Taxes Voted.
Starting on the excise schedules, the
only remaining section of the bill to be
taken up, the committee last night ap-
proved the reduction in automobile taxes
and repeal Of the tax on candy voted by
the House. New taxes, however, were
yoted-l0 per cent on radio sets selling
Tor Slo or more and 10 per cent on NAH
jong sets selling for So or more, both
| levied on the manufacturers.
The increase in the estate taxes and
the gift tax voted by the House were
eliminated. Both were opposed by
Secretary Mellon. The rates in the
present law on estates of deCedents
were restored with revision of the
brackets designed to add Sl2,000,0D0
annually TO the revenue from this
source.
Some new taxes must be levied or a
deficit will result, Chairman Smoot
declared in referring to the additional
reductions in excise rates voted by
the House, which are yet to be con-
sidered-
He said that some of the special ap-
propriation bills pending before Con-
greSS which would have to be con-
Sidered in connection with tax reduc-
ton dealt severe blow to the chances
of retention of some of the tax cuts
made by the House in the revenue
bill.
Prepares List of Expenditures.
Bills calling for aggregate appro-
priations of almost $4,000, 900, 900 are
pending, and some have been passed
by either the House or Senate. These
appropriations would be in addition
TO the expenditures estimated by the
of 1895, ,000,0 600 available for tax re-
duction in the next fiscal year was
estimated by the Treasury.
Mr.. Smoot is preparing a list OF
probable extra expenditures which he
thinks viii have to be taken care of
by the revenue bill now under con-
, sideration.
In this he would include, he said,
the soldier bonus bill. which it is
estimated viii cost a maximum of
s135.00O,000 in the first year of oper-
alton. Mr. Smoot has said there were
enough votes in the Senate to over
ride presidential veto on the bonus
bill.
Reductions in the tax bill already
agreed 70 by the finance committee
rates, in accordance with the Mellon
plan; s33.000,00 in theater admis-
sion taxes and about $65, 900, 600 in
reductions on earned incomes

by the House were $446,27O,0OO

LAUDS ADVERTISING WEEK

From an educational standpoint,
What I-Think About Washington
Advertising week is a good thing"
said Dean William A Wilbur of
Columbian College, George Washing
ton University, today.
advertising is a distinct form of
RECOMMENDATION. To write advertising
it is necessary to understand human
nature. Washington demands an un-
usually high-grade advertising, be-
cause Washington is a cultured city.
w WashinEtonianS are thoughtful, in
telligent and appreciate good things.
That is why it is an excellent city
for a university.
"a contest of any kind develops
the mind. because it requires concen-
tration and a new line of thought"
Dean Wilbur believes in Washing
ton that it is more the desire of
sincere criticism than actual prize
winning that prompts a contestant.
Dean Wilbur, together with Supt.
F. w. Ballou and Rev. F. A. Mulligan
of Georgetown University, is to act
as judge in the first and second con-
tests of Advertising week, April 6-12.

ASKS PAY INCREASE
FOR 1851 U. S. FORCE

Increased salaries for 1851 en-
ployes of the Legislative branch of
the government, so as TO readjust
their scales in conformity with the
reclassfication program for other
government employees, are recon-
mended in areport made to the House
today by Chairman Madden of the
House appropriations committee.
As the situation now stands, these
employees who have been receiving
the S240 bonus, which has now been
stopped, would in reality suffer n re-
duction in salary unless this legisla-
tion passes.
Chairman Madden pointed out that
this increase will amount to 1925,
The present average salary for these
employees of Congress is Sl,767. The
recommended average salary is S1.905
or an average individual increase OF
$13S. This increase of S325,633 does
not include any increase on account
of pages and other session employees
whose services are of temporary char
acter. The amount added on account
of these temporary employees would
make the aggregate increased cost in
any, year something under s360.00o.

this way prove that the rumors are

THE Washington Real Estate Board
fundamentally is organized for the
purpose of maintaining among real
estate brokers a high standard of
ethical practices. and through it's
membership is endeavoring to- render
the public competent, efficient and
honorable service in real estate trans

COOLIDGE TO ACCEPT
WELFARE UNITY PLAN

President Coolidge is willing to ac-
ce2t the decision of Congress on the
proposed bill to create a board of
public welfare in the District gov
ernment.
This was made known to the Com
mlsSloners in letter yesterday afternoon
from Secretary Slemp in reply to a
communication from the city heads
IN which they asked for the opinion
OF the President on the measure
The Commissioners were prompted
to submit the bill to the White House
tor the reason that it aboliShes the
board of charities, the members of
which are now appointed by the
President. The bill also abolshes
the board of children's guardians
and the board of trustees of the Ma
tional Training School for Girls
placing the functions and power of
these several agencies under the new
board of public welfare.
1t Is probable that with this word
from the White House the Commits
sloners will send the bill to Congress

Denial that there exists in Wash

absolutely no foundation in fact for
any statement to the effect that a
real estate combine of property own
ers. builders or real estate operators
exists for the purpose of main ntain &
rentals or rent levels said Mr.. Pet
ty. Il base this statement on my
personal experience of eighteen years
in the local real estate field. During
that entire time 1 have never seen
nor heard of anything that in the
ment that such a combination exists

For the three years past as ex-
ccutive secretary of the Washington
Real Estate Board l have been in ac-
tive contact with all of the organi-
Zation policies and activities, and
this association. and this fact, to-
gether with my past business connec-

to meet and know personally practi-
cally every large builder, real es-
tate broker and operator in the city.
Never once in my experience have
