Editor Times:
The District may well turn
now to- the Senate committee IN
which alone lies the hope OF
avoiding an increase in the tax
rate here within the next year or
two. Only through this group
which is now considering the Dis
trict appropriation bill can the
residents of the National Capital
look for an increase in the pro-
portion of expenses to be betrayed
by the Federal Government.
With various organizations OF
the community demanding that
Congress enact measures which
will greatly increase the cost of
the local government, a Jump in
the tax rate is inevitable. The
only way it can be avoided is by
an Improvement in the fiscal re-
lations of the local and Federal
governments. The Senate com.
mittee should increase the $9,-
100000 lump sum contribution
from the Federal Government
toward the maintenance Of the
city.
If this is not done, or expenses
are not curtailed to such an ex-
tent as to, curb the proper growth
of the city, the taxpayers will
filSd themselves carrying a burden
far out of proportion to the
benefits. It is manifestly unfair
that the residents Of Washington
should be penallzed because Of the
national demands for advance.

I noticed some time ago in the
columns of your paper that &C.
cording to the Health Officer the
smoke nuisances in the District
had abated to a large extent.
This may be true to some ex-
tent, but there are still plenty
of offenders. AS I go to work
each morning I often notice large
clouds of dense black smoke bill

Can you do something about
this? We ought truly to keep

well as the City Beautiful.

ating consolidation of the two
existing companies
The problem of bringing this
vast array of workers down to
the new departmental structures,
and getting them away at night,
can be solved only by rearrang'
ing and simplifying existing routes
and probably adding new ones.
Certainly there must be a loop
arrangement with an eastern ter.
minus at about Sixth Street
Northwest, whereby Pennsylvania
Avenue cars can be routed back,
probably along B Street North
west. It has been suggested that
a shuttle subway be constructed
along the avenue also.
Unless the Capital Traction and
the w. r. and E. can get to-
gether on terms which the Pub
lie Utilities Commission will ac-
cept, it is clear that the Federal
Government must force the issue.
The solution may come through
municipal ownership and opera
tion. The traffic problem can.
not be ignored much longer, be-
cause certain large units in the
Triangle already are on their way
to completion

EDWARD E. HORTON IS
 AT COLISEUM SUNDAY


 Fear, according to psychologists, is caused by ignorance of the thing feared, but in the case of Edward Everett Horton, in the part he plays in Warner Bros Vitaphone picture, "The Hottentot," at the Coliseum Sunday, the more one learns of the things feared, the higher ones hair rises-the more ones flesh creeps! This is the comedian as Sam Harrington, fake horseman, in the screen version of the famous stage play, ludicrously proves. The thing feared in his case is the uncomfortable race horse Hottentot, that nobody has yet ridden.
 In order to appeal to the girl of his heart-played by Patsy Ruth Miller-Horton agrees to ride in the great annual steeplechase, all though he has never been astride a nag in his life! His decision made he begins to find out all sorts of new and horrifying facts about Hottentot, and the more he learns about the habits of the wild ani- nal, the more his teeth chatter.
 Others in the stellar cast of The Hottentot," adapted by Harvey Thew from the Mapes-Collier foot light hit, include Edmund Breeze, Edward Earle, Stanley Taylor, Otto Hoffman, Douglas Gerard and Maude Turner Gordon. Roy del Ruth directed.

FINE PROGRESS

Salvation Army Workers Report Satisfactory
 Donations to Cause

The Salvation Army's financial drive, which has been in progress in this city since last Monday, Is progressing in a most satisfactory manner, it was announced today by Staff Captain Joseph Acton, Di- visional Commander for Alaska who is assisting Ensign E. K. Tobin with the work. Several of the larger donations have been doubled over what was given last year.
 This is highly encouraging to the local staff, and has created confi- dence that Juneau will equal and probably surpass last years ob- jective.
 One of the most pleasing as- poets of the drive" said Staff Cap tain Acton, lis the general interest that is being displayed by the cit izenry as a whole. Inquiries are continually being made as the progress of the campaign. This gives evidence of the popularity of the appeal, and bespeaks well for the labors of this organization.
 "The kindly cooperation of all and the practical sympathy of the people of Juneau have facilitated greatly in the effort now being made, The local officers of the Salvation Army are loud in their praise, and personally, have not found, in all my experience ir various lands, such real and open hearted generosity as we have met in Juneau" declared the Divisional commander.
