Abandon Lump.Sum Experiment.

The lump-sum appropriation practice
should be abandoned. and the definite
proportion payment plan, on the 60-4o
ratio. in accordance with the substan-
tive law of 1922, should b, automatically
restored. for many reasons.
The lump-sum payment plan is un-
sound and vicious in principle when
applied to the peculiar relations of
national and local partners in the Ma
tional Capital partnership.
1t destroys the unrepresented impotent
partners safeguard against excessive
and unjust exaction Of contributions
for Capital upbuilding by the all
powerful national partner.
It teaches false and hurtful theory
concerning the relation Of Nation to

It taints with unfairness or bad
faith many Of the agreements, or
understandings which it touches. For

caused by It's vicious influence the final

ton between Potomac and Rock Greek

tax money in violation Of every prin-
c;p!e OF equity.
There are no offsetting benefits TO

payment practice. All the predictions
