Fair Bobby Shaftoe felt real proud
that he could show the TIMES crowd
the way his little sailboat sailed
across the deep blue sea. He'd
pushed it out a ways, and then,
'twould float right back to shore
again. Then Clowny sat down on
the sand and said, Say, just watch
me-"
He tossed his shoes up in the air,
and shortly both his feet were bare.
He scampered to the waters edge,
and shouted, Gee, it's cold" ooh,
go on in" wee Scouty cried. Its
warmer when you're once inside"
So Clowny shouted, Sure, 1 will.
I'll show you I am bold"
He waded in up to his knees and,
my, at first, he thought he'd freeze.
But then when he got used to it, 1T
wasn't bad at all. watch out" cried
Copy, there are some stones. Don't
stumble now, and break your bones"
And Clowny walked quite cautious
ly just so he wouldn't fall.
The boat was then pushed out to

FISCAL RELATIONSHIP
Would Include Airport Item in
1928 Requests-Committee Meets
D. G. Heads.

The Citizens Advisory Council
submitted its final report on the es-
Inmates for the 1923-1929 fiscal year
10 the Commissioners late yesterday,
urging total budget of $41,746,111,
with variable tax levy ranging
between $40 and $3.50.
The final recommendation of the
council veers slightly from it's orfgi-
nal tentative suggestion for a budget
OF $41,000,000 predicated on a tax
rate of $3.50.
The council took cognizance of the
move OF the business interests of
the District for a tax levy of $1.65,
by pointing out that while such a
rate would finance the budget It
recommends, the supplemental ap-
propriations will increase the figure.
Would Include Airport.
In a series of general recommen-
dations which formed a part of its
budget report, the council urged that
the commissioners present a bill at
the next session of Congress provid-
ing for the creation of a commission
to formulate permanent plan for
the equitable apportionment of fiscal
obligations between the Federal and
District governments; that an item
for the purchase of site for q
municipal airport be included in the
supplemental appropriations for 1928;
that Jurisdiction over the installation
and maintenance of traffic lights be
transferred from the traffic to the
electrical department and that the
District government seek the frank
ing privilege for its mail.
A committee of the council, com.
posed of James G. Yaden, chairman;
Edwin s. Hege, recorder, and DIR.
George G. Havenner, presented the
report to the Commissioners.
The report, in part, follows:
THE Citizens Advisory Council Of

photograph distictly a large cloud
near the South Pole and had found
that the clouds around Venus are
changing.
Through the photographs of these
cloud markings Prof. Ross hopes to
be able to determine for the first time
the period Of the rotation of Venus
and the length of it's day. The posi-.
ton Of the planets axis has never
been known. and it is thought the
pictures will enable the observer to

er of the House, are both guests of
the President today at the Summer
White House.
There is no connection between these
two visits. The coming of Gen. Wood
and the house leader at approximately
the same time, and both having ar
rived in this country from the Philip
pines, is merely a coincidence, it was
pointed out by those associated with
the President. Nevertheless, more
than casual significance is being at.
tached to these two visits and the
air about the Summer Capital is
more or less filed with expectancy.
Wood Stands High.
Because of repeated rumors that Gen
Wood was contemplating retiring as
the chief executive of affairs in the
Philippine Islands it is felt certain
that the question Of his returning to
Manila to resume his duties will be
discussed during this visit.
1t is known that the President
considers Gen. Wood as the outstand-
ing American figure in the Orient,
one of inestimable value in the for
warding of the prestige of the United
States there and one who exemplifies
the highest type of American ideals,
and because of his high estimation of
his administrative ability would be
happy to have him continue as gov
ernor general. The President realizes
that the general is not in good health
and, although he is anxious to not
have him retire, he will leave this
entirely to the latter, according to
those who are in the Presidents conf
dence.
1t is known further that the Presi-
dent was pleased when he recently re-
ceived advance reports regarding Gen.

TRADE BODIES Join
IN PROTESTING TAX
Oppose Rate Above $1.65 on
Basis of 20 Per Cent Boost
in D. c. Assessment.

Emphatic protests against the set.
ting of tax rate for the ensuing
fiscal year in excess of $1.65, which.
on the basis of the 90 per. cent boost
in the assessed value of District prop
erty, to become effective July 1, would
produce greater revenue than that
now raised by the $3.50 tax rate under
the current assessment, today were
laid before the District Commission
ers in a joint report by the three
trade bodies of Washington. The re-
port was submitted III person by Ed
win G.. Graham, president of the
Board of Trade; Martin A. Leese,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, and Gen. Anton Stephan,
president Of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers Association.
Holding that a tax rate OF S1.6o
would provide revenue sufficient to
cover the expenditures under the
$39 900, 900 budget which has been ap-
propriated for the coming fiscal year,
the heads of the three trade organiza-
tions, speaking for the thousands of
taxpayers and business men and
women affiliated with the organiZa-
tionS, warned against the danger or
the rising tax burden which has been
placed on Washington and urged the
Commissioners to make cut OF 10
cents in the existing tax rate.
The representatives of the trade
groups acted upon authority or de-
cision arrived at late yesterday by a
Joint committee of officials of the as
sociations, who met for the first time
in the history of the organizations to
unite in presenting a concerted state
ment to the Commissioners and TO
Congress on tax and appropriation
matters.
Reasons Are Given.
In presenting the formal report OF
the joint committee calling for tax
rate of $1.65, the three trade body
presidents told the Commissioners the
taxpayers of Washington now are pay
ing the maximum tax burden which
thlv can afford to stand. Due to the
heavy increase in the realty assess
ment. against which the new tax rate
will he levied. they pointed out, the
present rate of $3.50 must be consid-
erably reduced to prevent a great in
crease in the actual tax burden.
