FROWNS
ON HASTY CHANGE
OF FISCAL SYSTEM
President Represented as
Urging Careful Study of
D. C.-FederaI Relations.

President Coolidge would dislike
very much to see any sudden action
on the controversy over the fiscal re-
lations between the District govern
ment and the Federal Government.
He believes the problem is certainly
capable of mutually satisfactory solu-
ton. but only after many elements
have been carefully considered and
after the question has been thorough
ly canvassed from all angles.
These are represented by a White
House spokesman as being the Presi-
dents expressed views. In some quar-
ters it is regarded as conveying mark
ed significance in view of the fact
that members of thte House are
quoted as having declared that the
plan to give the District a lump con-
tribution of $4,000, 900 a year would
be made permanent.
60-4O Return Demanded.
Popular demand for restoration of
the 60-40 plan in Washington has be-
come almost unanimous in the face of
insinuations by members of the House
committee on appropriations that the
lump-sum plan would be enacted into
standing statute. Under the plan
the citizens of Washington demand.
the District would pay 60 per cent OF
the National Capitals expenses and
the Federal Government 40 per cent.
President Coolidge has only recently
been advised or the seriousness of the
fiscal relations controversy, and he Is
said to have pointed out that he does
not yet know enough about the prob
lem to comment at length. He did de-
clare however, the White House
spokesman asserted, that he desired
to see a plan adopted which would be
fair to both sides
Continuing on this thought, the
President is confident that much would
be gained by having the question care
fully studied and the local financial
needs of both the District government
and the Federal Government placed
before Congress in full. 1t would then
be a simple matter for Congress to
determine what would constitute fair
contribution from the United States
Treasury toward local expenses.
The President would not favor any
arbitrary action, and he is said to have
expressly pointed out that "a study
such as he suggests would necessarily
include many elements that would

VETERANS RECEIVE AID

During the past year 1873 war vet
Grams have been sent to hospitals for
treatment by the Minneapolis region
al office of the United States Veter-
ans Bureau, according to Miller w.
Rice, iaison officer of the Disabled
American Veterans. Most of the
money used to treat these disabled
soldiers was provided by the observ-
ance of Forget-Me-Not day last year.
The report made by Mr.. Rice show
ed that 2,210 claimants were inter-
viewed, 1895 individual case records
were reviewed, 402 medical examina-
tions were given, additional compens-
alton for 1913 veterans was obtained
and lao claimants were assisted in
proving their disabilities due to SER
vice.
Original awards for compensation
totaled 89,823.43. Test cases which
clarified the Interpretation of the

INHALING SMOKERS
FOUND POORER IN
STUDIES THAN OTHERS

Don't inhale when you smoke if
you want to get good grades, is the
advice given students by j. Rosslyn
carp, of Antioch College, at Yellow
Springs, O., who has just investigated
effect of tobacco on college men. As
a result of his research, he announces
that those students who inhale the
fumes of tobacco, regardless of wheth-
er they smoke much or little, have
lower scholarship records than smok-
ing students who do not inhale.
This fits the statement of a Ger
man scientist, who recently reported
that inhalers take into their systems
eight times as much nicotine as smok-
ers who do not inhale, Mr.. carp says.
When smokers and nonsmokers
were given physical tests, Mr.. carp
could discover no significant differ
ence between the pulse rates, blood
pressure, or heart efficiency of the
two classes. But when he looked up
scholarship records, he found strik-
ing difference in his figures.

lied.
The effect of this amendment if
adopted is to repeal the double ha-
bility provision and to empower the
Legislature to determine when and
under what circumstances a superad-
ded liability shall be imposed.
By reason of the double liability
provision a great many enterprises
are forced to incorporate under the
laws Of other state. After incor-
poration they qualify under the for
eign corporation laws. of Minnesota
and thereby acquire practically the
same rights with reference to carry
ing on business as our domestic COR
porations. As result of this method
of evading the constitutional liabil-
ity the state loses revenue which
would otherwise accrue to it in the
way of filing fees and capital stock
taxes. If the double provision could
be enforced uniformly against all
stockholders one serious objection to
it would be removed. Experience has
shown that as rule this cannot be
done. Some stockholders have no
financial responsibility; hence the
burden falls only upon those who can
be forced to pay. A substantial pro-
portion nearly always avoid payment
because they have no property SUBJ
ject to execution or have placed the
stock in the names of persons who are
without means.
CT NH oh 1y h.
ject to the double liability is assum-
ing potential liability for an amount
equal to the par value of his stock.
If the enterprise is successful he is
safe, but if it fails and the corporate
assets are insufficient to take care
of the corporate obligations he will be
called upon to pay. For this reason
alone a large proportion of the cor
porations doing business in the SITE
have been organized under the laws
of other states where there is no
double liability.
Minnesota is practically the only
state in the Union which has such
provision in it's constitution and the
changing of it is one for the Legis-
lature to determine. 1t is argued that
it does not properly belong in the con-
stitution, it is argued that it may
be proper to subject certain corpora
lions such as banks and insurance
companies and perhaps some other
corporations to the superadded liabil-
ity. This is because of the nature of
the business in which they are engag-
ed. On the other hand, it is not pro-
per to subject industrial and mercan-
tile corporations to any such liability.
According to those favoring the
amendment, there are more than four
thousand cooperative corporations in
Minnesota today and each one is SUBJ
ject to the double liability unless they
should come within the exception
which has been made in faver of man
ufacturing and mercantile corpora
tions.
In order for the three amendments
to pass they must receive the affirma-
tive vote of majority of all of the
electors voting at the election. In
other words, voter who neglects to
vote on these amendments is in effect
voting against them and it is to avoid
this emergency that the t.3Paul Civic
Union is circulating information con-
corning them.
