Hotter Tomorrow, But if it Is Spring
Mrs. Bear and Babies Don't K,O,u 1t

Only one resident of the Ma
tional Capital has so far failed
utterly to respond to the call OF
the great out-of-doors. She is
Mrs. Kadiak Bear of the Zoo
Park. Mrs. Bear some months ago
became a mother. Whether it was
twins, triplets or even more is
not known even to Supt. Wetmore.
She has kept herself in strict
seclusion all Winter long in her
den of rocks, and not until she
decides to step out again will the
world know how many cubs she
has.
Ordinarily bears end their hiber-
nation period with the arrival of
Spring. Evidently Mrs. K Bear
decent believe this warm spell
means anything.
Or maybe she has fallen victim
to the Spring fever epidemic,
along with the forecaster, the re-
porter and some others in our
midst.
Well, it's nothing to worry
about, anyway.
Ho-hum.

REQUESTS ASSIGNMENT
OF ADDITIONAL JUDGE
Chief Justice Mccoy Asks Help in
Disposing of Accumulated
d. c. Court Business.

Chief Justice Mccoy of the District
Supreme Court has requested the as
signment of one of the judges of the
United States Court of Customs An
.peals to aid the justices in disposins
of the great mass of business pending
before that tribunal, especially in the
criminal branches. The Illness of
Justice Frederick L. Siddons has made
it impossible to run three branches
of the Criminal Court as was start
ed, and the transfer Of Justice Hoeh-
ling to Criminal Division has thrown
his equity cases away behind.
Even with the expected return of
Justice Siddons shortly, the dockets
are SO congested that the services of
an additional judge can be used with
advantage, the chief Justice stated.
Several of the judges from the
United States Court of Customs Ap-
peals have been serving in the Court
of Appeals, but this Is the first time
that application has been made to
have one of them assigned to the Dis
trict Supreme Court.

Ho-hum.
Spring must be here, all right.
Even Forecaster Weightman had
to stifie a yawn today as he tried
to get his thoughts on his work
and tell a reporter all about how
warm 1T is today and how much
warmer 1t is going to be tomor-
row.
Not hot, but just a little war
mer," the forecaster explained.
Some clouds tonight and more or
less unsettled skies tomorrow.
And there isn't any immediate
prospect of cold wave, either.
If you think it's warm here today,
with the mercury lowering around
SO, consider the old home folks
down in Augusta Georgia. who
sweltered in an 86-degree tempera-
ture yesterday"
Spring is here.
Signs that prove it are every
where. Jonquils are pushing
through the earth, trees are bud
ding and branching, rose bushes
are rambling and birds are tweet-
ing. Typewriters are slowing up,
schoolbooks are getting blurred,
base ball talk is in the air.

DEMOCRATS WANT
CANDIDATE OF OWN
Object to Choice of Two Re-
pubIicans for Head of Pub
lie Lands Committee.

When the Senate today resumed
consideration of the committee as
signments submitted Saturday a
controversy Immediately arose as to
how they should be voted on
Senator Norris of Nebraska offered
an amendment to the committee as
signments submitted by Senator
watson as chairman of the Repub-
Hcan committee on committees
Norris amendment proposed that
Senator Ladd of North Dakota, one
of the denoted insurgents, should be
chairman of the public lands COM
mittee instead of Senator Stanfield
of Oregon. selected by the Republi-
can conference for that ONCE.
This was all right SO far as sena-
tor Watson and the regular Repub-
licans were concerned. Senator
Walsh of Montana, Democrat, how
ever. objected to a vote being taken
merely between Ladd and Stanfield,
declaring that the Democrats would
like an opportunity to vote for a
Democrat.
The Democrats did not wish to be
put into position, 1t was apparent,
In which they must vote for the regu-
lar Republican. the Insurgent Repub-
Harrison Satisfied.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi,
Democrat. on the other hand did not
object to the proceedings advanced
by Senator Norris. He said:
i presume that Senator can vote
present or refrain from voting.
don't want to enter into this family
row of the Republicans"
And We don't want you to enter
into it,, replied Senator Watson, amid
considerable laughter
Senator Norris pointed out that if
the Democrats wanted to go on rec
ord for a Democrat as cha irman of
the public lands committee, they could
offer the name of their candidate
later, or at first If they desired.
Senator King of Utah, another
Democrat, said that he too hoped the
Republicans would be allowed to
fight out this matter themselves; that
1t was not Democratic controversy
and that If the Republicans had q
majority in the Senate they were
entitled to elect someone as chair
man of the committee.
Senator Watson acquiesced in this
suggestion also, whereupon Senator
Hefiin of Alabama said:
Fc0rs OF Helm.
IF the Republicans agree to the
proposal of the Senator from Utah.
there must be something wrong with
It," The Alabama Senator said that
what he was afraid of was that the
Democrats would be disfranchised
and have to sit silent on this vote.
Senator Ashurst of Arizona, one of
the progressive group of the Demo-
cratic side, critized Senator Norris for
declining to agree to a proposal made
by Senator Walsh of Montana. which
would enable the minority to vote
for its candidate at the same time
the Republicans were dividing over
theirs.
This proposal on the part of the
Senator from Nebraska is a blow TO
the progressives and Senator Norris

INCOME TAX CUT
LIKELY NEXT YEAR
Measure Favored on Capitol
Hill Would Reduce
Rate in 1926.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

This is the time of year when peo-
pie are making out their income tax
returns and perhaps they are not very
happy about 1t SO a morsel of joyful
news may be opportunte.
First, the money being earned by
the American people this year from
next. will be subject not to the rates
of the present law, but to a new act
to be passed In the early months OF
1926, which will carry at least a rs
per cent reduction in everybody
taxes If not more.
Second, sentiment in Congress i,
developing in favor of specific re-
duction in surtaxes so that the high.
est rate will be 25 per cent, as CON
trasted with 40 per cent in the present
law. Secretary Mellon has always
thought that IL the suFtAx limit were
is per cent the Government would
get more money in the Treasury from
stimulated business than ever before
but he compromised on 25 when he
presented his plan. The Republican,
have working majority in both
houses and can put through a 25 pei
cent rate, and If there is division in
their own ranks there are some Demo.
Gratis who will vote for 25 per cent
Congres. Cuts Expenditures.
Third. Congress is showing a
tendency to keep within the budget
Representative Madden, whom the
correspondent met at the White
House after he had conferred with
the President, says that this year
Congress spent $s,0o0.000 less than
the budget provided for and that in
q
gress has spent s350.000,000 less than
the budget proposed.
Fourth, Mr.. Madden says he intends
to press at the next session of Con-
gress his resolution which would make
decreases in income tax payments
automatic. In other words, it would
require no new legislation each year
for tax reform, though Congress
would always be free to repeal the
act or amend 1t. Mr.. Madden's idea is
that whenever there is a surplus ir
the Treasury of more than $50, 900, ,00C
that sum will be divided into the to-
tai receipts and a percentage ascer-
tanned. which percentage shall au-
tomatically be the amount of every
taxpayers reduction.
There Is some reason to believe
President Coolidge favors such q
measure, but naturally the people
who think the relationship of one tax
rate to another, as for instance the
size of surtax rates as compared with
normal rate or the exemptions, should
be reformed will want that done be-
fore the automatic reduction would
take effect. In other words, when
once a scientific and equitable ratio
is established between the different
classes of taxpayers then an auto
matte reduction simply maintains the
status quo. but gives every tax
payer an equal percentage of reduc-
tion.
MIR. Madden's proposal has a good
deal of support in Congress because
the burden and embarrassment OF
continually considering a revenue &C,

order which transferred the oil re-

The trial before Judge r. Blake

MADISONVILLE, KY, March ,.
Roscoe Qualls, 8 years old, lying
helpless in his bed, unable to
move, heard his parents give him
up for dead and plan the funeral
arrangements. Today he is re-
covering after hours of near dis
traction at the thought of being
buried alive.
Roscoe fell while skating.
Paralysis developed and physicians
found the youth had suffered con-
cussion of the brain. He lost his
speech and was kept alive several
days by administration of liquid
food. This failed to bring I'M
provement and the boy apparently
died shortly after the doctors left.
Parents and relatives mourned and
began planning the funeral Ros-
coe said he heard it all. A ply
sician was called for a final exam
ination and found the boy still
breathing.
Roscoe is able to sit up in bed.
