Airport Failure in Congress
Not Unexpected

AMURE Of legislation in Congress for airport for the
District Of COlumbia not unexpected despite the
efforts given the subject by Senator Bingham and his
Congressional Airport Commission The fine work done by
that commission should be useful at future STAGES Of Con-
gressional consideration Of this subject
Blocking Of airport legislation be traced directly 70
the differences Of opinion in and ont Of Congress the
part the Federal Government should play in District fiscal
affairs.
Senator Bingham and his commission found that consider
able Of local airport would be made by Governmental
departments and bureaus Aside from this the Government
vitay concerned In airport development throughout the
nation, especially in Washington.
Because Of the national aspects Of the matter IL the
conclusion Of farmnded statesmen that the Federal Govern
should participate financially In modern airport for
this city extent somewhat larger than involved in the
lump scheme that has prevailed for years
So they sought to have Congress appropriate the first 100000
for sites Of money in the Federal Treasury the remaining
cost to be ,apportioned later.
That proposition brought the silent and open opposition Of
members who hold that the Federal Government Is
doing its part under the lump scheme and that taxpayers
Of Washington should foot the bills for everything with the
exception Of the comparatively small Federal contribution
The same fight will The regular session Of Congress
next winter airport legslaton passed then it Is
ticaly certain that Washington people will be compelled 70
pay least fourhs Of the cost and there strong ind
cations that while they deeply interested in modern air
port they will object to this believing that the Federal Gov
ernent should in this matter, depart from the lump
policy.

der trial for several days
ana getting madder every minute,
BECAUSE, try as may. I have
only been able to hear about
one word out Of 80.
Why is It that the various dig.
nitaries connected with courts In
variably humble their way
through proceedings? have
gone to scores Of trials, yet I
can count on the fingers Of one
hand the officials who have
spoken right up and let you
know what they were saying.
These gentlemen undoubtedly
have perfectly good human voices
which they employ in the course
OF their private lives. But once
let them enter a courtroom and
the best you can get out Of them
is stranguIated gargle.
Some day I'm going to bust
right out and yell, "OPEN YOUR
MOUTH" I'll probably be charged
with contempt Of court, but It
will be worth It.
There are few things more irri-
tating than q number. Nor are
numbers confined to courts. Many
people humble their way through
life. They not only humble their
words, but they also humble
their thoughts and even their
acts.
You never can know what such
people are driving at.
