BURTON, 75, TODAY
IS Congratulated
Ohio Representative Lauded
by G. O. P. Floor Leader
as "Our Ablest."

Representative Theodore f. Burton
of Ohio received the congratulations
of members of the House today on his
18th birthday anniversary, being de-
scribed by Representative Tilson, the
Republican floor leader, as 'our ablest,
most respected and most beloved col
league"
For more than a third OF cen
tury," Mr.. Tilson said. "Mr. Burton
has been a conspicuous figure in tn
life of this republic. He first served
in the House of Representatives in
the Fifty-frst Congress and, with an
intermission of only four years, con
| tinued to serve here with notable dis
tinction until the end of the SiXtietf
Congress. In 1909 he went to the
United States Senate, where for six
years he served with equal distinction.
He then voluntarily retired from the
Senate and for number of years was
an outstanding figure in the business
life of the great metropolis of this
country
when he reached the age at which
most men who have been pre-
eminently successful think of retiring
from active business Senator Burton
retired, but not to lapse into ease an,
idleness. Not Theodore +. Burton
1t was then that he reached the de
cision to come back to the House
Representatives, where he had previ
ottsly spent 16 delightful years in con.
genial public service, in order tina
he might devote the ripest and hes
years of his life to the service of hi
country here in this body. SO he sits
among us now, honored, admired, be
loved by us all, veritable tower
strength in our midst.
AS he today passes the seventy
fifth milestone along the highroad of
life, crowded with notable deeds of
usefulness and crowned with the
friendship and love of his fellows, we
honor ourselves by pausing in our
work to honor his life.
Minority Leader Finis Garrett of
Tennessee also paid tribute to Mr..
Burton's long and able service. Mr..
Burton then replied briefly. while the
House applauded vigorously.

Checks Smaller

Government pay checks are to
be smaller.
Disheartening news for the
army of Federal workers, if it
meant that salaries were to be
slashed. Efficiency and Standard
cation have stepped in and dictated
a new size in Government pay
checks. not in the amount of their
face value, but in the measure
ments of the checks themselves.
The new Government pay checks
are to be three and three-eighths
inches wide and eight and three
eighths inches long. according to
an agreement entered into between
the Treasury and the division of

merce Department. The change

DISTRICT INCOME
TO Be ESTIMATED
Donovan VIII Make Study of
1928 Revenue as
Basis of Taxation.

A study of the Districts probable
ncome for the 1927-1928 fiscal year
will be started this week by Maj.
Daniel j. Donovan. with a view to
recommending to the Commissioners
tax rate for that year. Maj. D ono-
an said today that he expected to
eport the results of his study to the
ity executives soon after the begin
hing of the New Year.
A difficult problem will confront the
auditor in arriving at new tax rate.
The reassessment of property now
being made by Tax Assessor William
p. Richards, the first annual assess
ment under the new law, is figured to
raise the assessed value of taxable
property from about $950,000,000 to
$1,2O0,000,0 900.
Present Rate Cited.
If the present rate of taxation
$3.50 on 500 of assessed valuation
IS continued next year, it will add
100000 to the Districts income from
zeal estate alone.
Maj. Donovan declared, however,
hat he does not take these figures
seriously" when asked what would
be the probable cut in the tax rate as
a result of the expected increase in
revenue. "Of course, we may not col
iect taxes on all assessments, he
said, land then, too, you must remem-
Der that we have no surplus left in the
Federal Treasury now. That is all
wiped out by the estimates for 1928.
In the last few years we have had the
surplus to fall back on to keep the
tax rate down.
Effect of Change in Figures.
A difference of 100000 in receipts
or expenditures, Maj. Donovan calcu-
lated some time ago, means a differ
ance of cents in the tax rate.
Therefore, a Ascent reduction in
axes would be possible under this
rule if the new tax assessment pro
duces an increase of $4,50O,000 in
the Districts revenues. But Maj.
Donovan feels that he will be able
to show in his report to the Com
misSioners that such a reduction is
not possible next year, and is not
so sure right now that there can be
any cut at all.

Cranfield and his wife were riding
