TESS ASSA|LS LAX
UNIVERSITY LAWS
Conditions Regarding Incor-
poration of Institutions Dis
gushing, He Says.

Lax conditions with respect to the
incorporation of institutions of learn
ing in Washington constitute a de-
plorable situation, Senator Simeon II.
Fess of Ohio, former president OF
Antioch College and one of the coun-
try's prominent educators, said yes
terday.
The situation previously had been
called to his attention. Senator Eess
said, but at informal discussions, at
which it was felt legislative action
would be unwise, since the standard
ization of education institutions by
law in a satisfactory manner is very
difficult problem.
Favors Frank Exposure.
The best purpose will be served, Sen
ator Tess feels, by the frank exposure
of conditions in Washington, where
any five persons, without educational
or property qualifications, can secure
authority to grant any sort OF aca-
demic or professional degrees.
1t is extremely disgusting, said the
Senator, for any man who has worked
hard for a degree to learn that au-
thOrity to use the same letters can
be secured by a purely commercial
transaction.
The Ohio Senator now has pending
a bill for the establishment of a real
university Of the United States, to
make use of the unexcelled library
and laboratory facilities of the Federal
Government and to he dedicated to ad-
Vanced research students.
Proposed by Washington.
Such a project was proposed in the
will of George Washington, who left
certain parsels of land as an endow-
ment. These long since have reverted
to the estate, since the Government
made no use of them. The revival of
the project has been mentioned fire.
quently in connection with the coming
Washington bi-centennial as a worthy
memorial to the first President.
Senator Fess called attention to the
fact that Washington may well be-
come the seat of one of the world S
great universities.

ADVANCES BY j. S.
TO VETERANS SEEN
Chairman Green Predicts
Legislation to Provide
Loans on Certificates.

New legislation, to be acted upon

tif1cates is seen by Chairman Green

gested that Congress supplement the

that end,
A number of House members have
put in bills providing for Veterans
Bureau loans, among them Repre-
sentative Rogers, Republican, Massa-
chusetts. who is sponsoring one sim
liar to the Smoot proposal, and it is
expected that after holding brief hear
will either report one of them or draft
a composite measure.
Director Hines told the committee
that of Is goo authorized banks, only
1870 had to date reported loans.
Look to Veterans Bureau.
Declaring that a majority of banks
reporting loans apparently were re-
stricting them to regular customers.
the director said that many veterans
had no banking connections. and that
the question Of identification was pre-
senting a difficult obstacle.
The veteran necessarily looks to
the Veterans Bureau" he added, ''for

ECONOMY DOOMED,
IS MILLS FORECAST
Rise in u. S. Expenses Likely,
Making Tax Cut UnWise,
Says Representative.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 22.---The
question of how long the administra-
ton will be able to continue its pro
gram of economy was raised today by
Representative ogden Mills of New
York, selected by the President as
the next Undersecretary of Treasury,
In opposing the demand for immediate
tax reduction by Congress-.
Speaking at a luncheon meeting Of
the National Republican Club, Mills, a
member Of the House ways and means
committee, where all revenue legisla-
ton must originate, said that, while
surplus of $500, 900 has been es-
timated for the next fiscal year, there
is reason to anticipate an increase"
in governmental expenditures.
Economy at Bed Rock.
while the policy of economy has
resulted in gratifying decreases in the
cost of government" he declared, my
observation leads me to believe that
the administrative cost Of government
has probably reached bed rock. The
policy has been popular, but how long
will it remain so?
Judging by what is taking place IN
our States and municipalities, there
is a very real danger that public senti-
meut may tire Of retrenchment and
demand expansion. Already a strong
movement in favor of the expenditure
Of large sums on vast public works is
well under way, and when it comes to
spending, Congress is very apt to be
responsive to public demands. All OF
these factors must be given due
weight in framing our revenue pol
icies.'
Would Reduce Debt.
Mills said application of the sur
plus to public debt reduction means &
benefit to all taxpayers" and that early
retirement of the debt would result in
IAN enormous saving" in interest.
A comprehensive survey Of the cor
poration tax field was advocated by
the New York member to ascertain
whether the burden is excessive from
the standpoint Of industry. He said
the Federal inheritance tax should
have been completely repealed year
ago"

A n American tenor, who made his
first appearance in grand opera
in Washington as a member of the
first Washington Opera Co. all-Ameri-
can cast four years ago, Paul Alt
house, will sing leading roles in two
of the operas in the grand opera festi;
val which inaugurate the tenth season
of the company in Polls Theater next
month.
Mr.. Althouse has been assigned the
roles of Don Jose in Carmen" and
Rhadames in Aida"
Mr.. Althouse has had an unusually
successful career. He has fine voice.
Enrico Caruso is said to have de-
clared "Althouse will be my successor"
and throughout their engagement with
the Metropolitan opera Of New York
the famous Italian aided the young
American tenor in many ways.
Once when Althouse was to make
his debut in the role of Turridu in
'Cavalleria Rusticana" Caruso gave
him his own Turridu costume. 1t is
one of the treasures cherished by Mr..
AIthouse.
Althouse, it will be remembered. set
the grand opera world by the ears by
entering the portals of the Metropoli-
tan opera when only Il years old and
without having first received the
stamp Of European approval.
On this particular day Carnso had
sung in 'Pagliacci" and Althouse was
to make his first bow as Turridu and
was standing in the wings ready to
go on when Caruso spied him. Ap.

were stirred instantaneously and he

eager young American who was none
