No Lump-Sum Payment Plan.

The Mmp-sum payment plan should
not be substituted as permanent sub
stantive law for the definite propor-
tionate contribution plan:
/. Because 1t destroys the relation
between national AMI local contribu-
tions. the basic principle OF the laws of
1878 and 1922 which causes an alien tax
ing body in taxing an unrepresented
community in some measure to tax also
itself The existence of this relation
is a safeguard against excessive taxa
tion of the unrepresented community.
2. Because it gives back to the Ma
ton its pledge of proportionate con-
tribution. which accompanied national
seizure of the Capitals power of self
taxation. without restoring to the Dis
trict this self-taxing power of which
1t had been deprived.
3. Because by destroying national OBJ
legation to make any definite propor-
tionate contribution 1t imposed q loss
of millions upon the District when
the latter's Treasury surplus. collected
under the $3.50 law, came to be ap-
propriated and spent.
T. Because 1t violates wantonly the
peace settlement of the act of 1922.
which levied taxes for five years to
come. and thus promised stability on
the 60-40 basis in the fiscal relations Of
the Capital for that period. 1t deprives
the District of the only important
offsetting benefit continued to 1t by this
law, in order to make heavier the new
tax burdens which the 1922 Law imposed.

Democrat of the day. But more par

As report after report has come in
from the dry" West, Gov. Smith has
chalked up victory after victory In the
battle for delegates to the Democratic
national convention. The latest Smith
victory was In Iowa, where former Sec
retary of Agriculture Il. r. Meredith
offered himself as favorite son candi-
date In a desperate effort to halt the

York governor defeated decisively Sem

on the Smith bandwagon.
Mr.. McAdoo, the bitter foe of Smith,

vented the nomination of McAdoo In
1924. has for months cast around for
a candidate to stop" Smith In 1928.
First, he issued a statement taking him.
self out of the race. and finally he has
picked Senator Walsh as the outstand-
ing Democrat to win the presidential
nomination over Gov. Smith. 1t may
be that the effort of Mr.. McAdoo for
Senator Walsh comes too late. The
Smith advance has gathered momentum.

more complicated. But what the Walsh
McAdoo faction hopes is that Smith
and Reed will divide the wet vote. and
Walsh will ride to victory.
Mr.. McAdoo. In his letter to Mr..
Elliott, has given Senator Walsh high
praise. as a legislator, statesman and
man. The record made by the Sena-

party may well take pride. Whether he

He was not the first one who had sung
the praise of this artificial sunshine
during the past few months. 1t seems
that such things break upon the indi-
vidual In floods.
Use of these "sun lamps" Is compare

the past few years. The use of sun
light as q curative agent runs back to
the beginnings of medicine: indeed, far
ther than that--to the ancient sun wor-
shipers--but for many centuries the
lore was forgotten or frowned upon III
one way or another.
The difficulties encountered In expos

1t must be remembered that 1t Is the
light itself. its various rays--not the
heat--of the sun which is so beneficial
to mankind The burning of the skin
through exposure Is not beneficial on
account of the burn. but solely through
the fact that the pigmentation OF the
epidermis builds up certain health re-
sistant qualities in blood and tissue.
A healthy tan" of the face and arms
Is better than none at all. and is to be
secured in many activities, such as golf
and tennis. But there can be little
doubt that the more complete Sunburn-

cially when coupled with the wholesome
action of fresh air and clean water. and

Many persons fail to get the benefit

posure Is worse-for many persons
than no sunshine at ALL
Not only should the average person
who walks out uncovered In the SUM-
