The Right Word
LEADING AUTHORITY
~ cURTfN x1cnohsON


George Il. Monr thinks that bis query
with regard to the use Of the loeution, Il
don't think launched aYreal discussion. He
writes as follows:
my question regarding 4 don't think
seems to have caused an interesting discus
sion in your column. No doubt / am to as
sumo that i don't think is preferable to i
think not or I think It win not rain today
However, | would enjoy decision from q
leading authority, on such question"
The greatest authority, the leading au-
thority, on English today Is the speech and
writings Of those who make q practice Of
using our language somewhat carefully. Oc-
casionally one will find a writer or speaker
who is precise enough to say, He thinks
it win not rain" or X do think the plan is
not safe one to follow" but most gem
orally we hear or read, "He does not
(doesn'tl think 1t will rain" or II do not
(don't) think the plan is a safe one to fol-
low" Examine the writings Of others. Note
the speech Of those whose knowledge Of cor
rect English yeu respect. See for yourself.
The deliberate error today win be found
in Mr.. Monroe's query. Maybe it has all
ready attracted your attention.

ering systems have not been diligent: II
they should be so, not only would there be
no excuses for poverty pleas but there would
be ample funds for all proper public needs
and the tax-eatherers would be entitled to
generous confederation for advancement. It
is, hard to keep a good man down, even
though there were disposition, such as does
not exist in this instance, to do so. IN.

FISCAL CHANGE
IN DISTRICT

Cong. Moore to Force Record
Vote on Cramton Plan for
Lump Sum
CONTINUED from Page 10

the Federal and District govern.
ments, III is claimed.
Senator Phipps, chairman of the
District appropriation subcommtt-
tee, today pointed out that the
House has not formally acted on
the proposition and that action
taken in the committee of tho
whole may be reversed by the
House itself. He was reluctant to
discuss the proposition in advance
Of House action, but indicated very
clearly that the Senate would stand
by the present fiscal relationship.
He expressed the opinion that
stability in the fiscal relations Of
then Federal and District govern
: meats should be sought and that
any change In the 60-40 ratio
especially as it has only recently
been adopted by Congress-would
be disastrous.
Senator thipps and other men,
bers of the Senate expressed the
belief that general legislation will
be required to wipe out the 60.40
ratio and that such legislation at.
tached as a rider" to an appro.
priation bill will be subject to q
point of order and easily eliminated.
1t was also pointed out that the
legal provisions establishing the
60-40 ratio contain what is in ef-
feet a reorganization Of the Dis
trict's fiscal system, including the
plan of creating working fund
and putting the District on a cash
basis, whereby the District treasury
will no longer be compelled to Eor-
row money from the Federal Treas
ury to meet deficits. ALI of this
will be wiped out if the House &C.
e The is temDer tno waS eSarss
Of the District appropriation bill in
the Senate is so strongly in favor
Of the retention of the 60-40 ratio
that any compromise with the
House on the basis Of fixed con-
tribution proposal appears to he I'M

Sudden Changes in u. S.
Fiscal Policy Opposed
By ID. C.. Commissioners

!
- Opposition to any sudden changes
In fiscal relations between Con-
gress and the District of Columbia
was expressed by the District Com
missioners today.
Although reticent about commit.
ting themselves as either opposed
Go, ,seor in accord with, the lump
sum appropriation, voted yesterday
in the House through the adoption
OF the Cramton amendment, the
Commissioners let it be known that
they preferred any change to be
rcade only after careful study and
consideration.
Engineer Commissioner Bell de.
clared he was not prepared to ap-
prove or disapprove the new plan.
II believe, however," he said,
that it might work out better to
allow this years appropriations to
be made in accord with the pro-
visions now in effect, and then, if
the lump sum appropriation is
found after study to be preferable,
to institute that form of financing
next year."
Commissioner Bell pointed out
that the 60-4O system had been in
practice only three gears, and that
prior to the Inauguration of that
plan there had been repeated
changes in the fiscal relations be-
tween the Congress and the Dis
trict.
Continual changing Of the sys-
TEN does not seem to be the most
desirable way of establishing the
best relations between the two
parties" he said.
In letter sent by the Commits
\ sioners to Congressman Moore of
Virginia yesterday, the Commits
lsioners stated they believed mo
change should be made in the ex-
listing fiscal relations between the
United States and the District ex-
cept as the result of careful in
vestigation and consideration by
. Congress of the equities involved.
