board of regents, was the last wit
ness for the defense Put on the stand
in the case of Miss Vivian Simpson

opinion that the president stretched
the limits Of his authority In allow

About Apartment Houses
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 Inc Eoltof VI luc otAr.
Our American Capital is not COM
mercial town, but one planned espe-
cially for the convenience, comfort and
pleasure of the personnel Of the fed
eral government, which composes the
most important citizenship of Wash
ington.
Being comparatively transient as.
residents. also victims more or less Of
high prices, the apartment house solu-
tion for them is absolutely necessary,
same as at all foreign capitals:
AS a reflection of the culture, pride
and wealth of the entire country. also
remembering that beauty is chief as
set of any town, Washington should be
beautiful-beautiful de riqueur. What
mars the beauty of any city are ragged
sky lines-houses Of all heights. colors,
conditions and character, also inhar-
monious as to surroundings Apart
ment houses are no objection whatever
if fashioned on these lines. They add
in every way to the most beautiful street
of the world-the Champs Elysees-
and at Ial foreign capitals, rs for that
We must also consider the housing Of
the clerical force Of the government
This does not mean that the finest
natural beauty spots of the town are
to be devastated OF foliage and spattered
houses A study of foreign capitals
and gardens attractive in design.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS
PLANS DEFERRED
Legislative Jam Considered
Certain to Prevent Action
During This Session..

There will be no legislation at this
session Of Congress providing any
new public buildings for the District of
Columbia.
This fact was made known at the
White House today when a spokes-
man for the President was summarEz-
ing the details of conferences at the
White House last night betwee.
President Coolidge and the members
or the republican steering committee
OF the House. In arriving at an
agreement TO some sort of a Iegis-
lative program to follow in order
that there may be an adjournment Of
Congress before the first week in
June the thought of public buildings
was thrown into the discard.
1t was explained that Congress
must first dispose of the Army and
Navy and other departmental appro-
priat!on bills, agricultural relief leg
islation and other legislation consid-
cred as being of more Importance at
this time than a public buildings bill.
or course, il Congress runs on high
speed and succeeds in cleaning up IT.
legislative matters such as providing
public buildings for the District and
other sections of the country. How
ever, this is not thought to be likely.
Several Buildings Planned.
In the meantime the District mus
wait to realize the plans already ap-
proved for half a dozen large federal
hull
points in the Mall south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and east of 18th street.
Just how long the District must wait
House advices. The Likely procedure,
as explained today, is for this Congress
to merely report out a public buildings
bill which will be taken up for con
sideration at the short session next
winter. In making this explanation a
passage OF such bill at this time
would do much good, inasmuch as il is
a matter principally Of appropriations.
What is desired is to get legislation pro-
actual building work could be started
1t was pointed out that the appropria-
tons committee is now seven years be
hind in appropriations for which IL has
some public buildings as well as other
things.
President Urges Buildings.
Despite the fact that President
Coolidge is represented as having
agreed to putting aside the realiza-
tion of the government buildings for
the District, he is known TO fully ap-
preciate the need for better housing
facilities for the executive depart
ments. The President not so long
ago, while discussing this subject
said that some of the buildings now
housing the government are so
crowded as to impede work, while
others are SO scattered that they lose
their identity.
Il believe it is now necessary"
the President said, lin accordance
with plans already sanctioned for
unified and orderly system for the
development of this city. to begin the
carrying out of these plans by author
izing the erection of three or four
buildings most urgently needed BY
an annual appropriation of $1,000. .000."
The buildings the President has in
mind are for the State Department,
Department of Justice, Internal Reye-
nue. and an archives building and an
addition to the Department OF Agri-
culture.

URGES MORE WOMEN
IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The District of Columbia chapter
of the International Federation Of
Catholic Alumnae and all Catholic
women were urged to take part in
the affairs Of the nation and to join
the various woman's organizations
by Archbishop Curley of Baltimore
in an address before the third an
nual conference OF the District
chapter at Rauschers today.
I am not after monumental
churches. OF course, I should be
pleased to see one erected in the
archdiocese, but after more important
work has been DONE" declared Arch
bishop Curle-. mo education worthy
of the name can be considered unless
the soul. will and mind are cared for.
The welfare OF the nation depends
not on the amount but on the char
acter OF education given"
He said that Catholic education
that there was no antagonism be-
tween real science and the things
taught by Christ.
Archbishop Curley said that the
country was governed by minorities

he declared.

1t seems likely that the estimate Of
$570, 100000 for the fiscal year 1924
will not be exceeded and may not be
reached. No reason has been SHOWN
to change the estimate for 1919.
Figures Are Raised.
I'm the figures for both income and
profits taxes and miscellaneous in
ternal revenue taxes. 1t was felt that
the commissioner Of internal revenue
had better means of estimation than
the actuary. but that the figures of
$1.75O.o0o.ooo for 1924 and $1.7oo.ooo,-
900 for 1925. in view of tho actuary's
views Of business conditions, might
be too low. and the commissioner or
internal revenue was requested to

ence. The commissioner OF internal
revenue after deliberation raised his
fgures for each of the years by
$1o0, 100000 and these figures were
accepted by the undersecretary and
appear as the Official estimates OF
tho Treasury. In past years the
figures on internal revenue which
iiao peSu uStu Dy the treasury In
it's annual reports had always been
those submitted by the commission
er. Up to today the collection of
income and profit taxes indicate that
the estimate for 1924 will be sub

In mind that this country is now on
high level of prosperity and with
the adoption of a sound tax structure
should SO continue. Estimates of re-
cefpts for internal revenue are prin-
cipa1iy affected by changes in the
Industrial prosperity of the country.
Estimates based on d continuation
or prosperous conditions would ex-
eeed actual receipts if a change is
made in the conditions, since the
change must be downward In like
manner, when estimates were made
IN 1922 and the country was not then
prosperous, a change in conditions
made the estimate, fall short Of the
actual receipts. Irrespective of any
change in the Industrial conditions
or the country, a material factor in
government revenue is that the great
