Petition Of the Taxpayers.

The function of the District tax
payers is to pay whatever municipal
and national taxes Congress may exact
and to submit to whatever forms of
tax expenditure Congress may direct,
They are not represented like other
Americans in their Legislature. They
have no voice in the decision as to
now much taxes shall be raised, what
objects shall be taxed or how the tax
money shall be spent.
They may petition on all these cues.
lions, and when their petitions are
courteously or contemptuously disre-
garded as negligible, or, arousing re-
sentiment among the petitioned, elicit
verbal, vilifying abuse, the petitioners
may make indignant but futile protest.
That is the situataSn Of the District
taxpayers in the prSeent deadlock over
the District appropriation bill.
Congress proposes to tax the District
for the year under consideration for
about $50, ooO, 900. In the process of
deciding how this tax money shall be
spent the two houses of Congress dif-
fered concerning the amount Of the
lump-sum contribution which for sey-
eral years, as an annGA appropriatiye
practice and as an exception to SUBJ
stantive law, Congress has been sub
shutting, The lump-sum provision
applies only TO the items of the annual
appropriation bill to which 1t Is at
taehed. 1t lives only for . year and
must be renewed annually. If this
annual enactment of wholesale excep-
tions to the substantive law fails or is
omitted. substantive law Immediately
and automatically appeies in full force.
In the present deadlock the House
and Senate would have little difheulty
IN agreeing upon the items Of expendi-
ture Of the District tax money, the chief
difference that arises concerning only
the amount OF national contribution
toward Capital maintenance and devel-
epment. The House proposes an ex-
caption to the substantive law in sug-
costing the substitution Of q 5000 900
lump sum If that proposal OF an ex-
ception to the substantive law Is mega
lived by the Senate, the exception dies
and substantive law becomes auto
niatically operative.
The District taxpayers, therefore. in
this emergency, exercising their right
of petition, appeal to both houses Of
Congress to pass the District appro-
priation Bill and to make the mutual
or reciprocal concessions on al issues
that are necessary to the enactment
into law of this bill. In regard to the
national contribution provision, the peo-
pie of Washington petition that either
the two houses compromise by reciprocal
concessions concerning the amount of
lump-sun provision to be contributed
by the Nation in exception to the sub
stantive law. or. agreement upon lump
sum provision having failed, that they
permit the substantive law Of 1910
contribution, unviolated this year by ex-
eeption, to come into operation.

One Of the most important things in
life is to learn how to make profitable
use OF our leisure time. The present age
is not conducive to reflection and it is
impatient of any form of idleness. Each
day seems to accelerate our speed and
to compel us to I'LL every hour with
some new form of activity. Even those
whose pursuit Is pleasure weary them
selves with their excuses. Safety and
jaded appetites follow in the train of
such overindulgence. Only recently
mother appealed to me concerning the
abnormal activities of her daughters.
She doubtless expressed the conviction
Of many another when she said, 1.-THE
burdens that are laid upon our young
people by modern social practice prove
disastrous to their health and leave
them little time for repoSe."
The Summer is now upon us and the
question of the use of leisure is an i'm
portant one. We all need some form of
rest and recreation and change of scene.
Does this necessarily imply absolute
idleneSs? Does it mean the long days,
and sometimes the shortened nights, are
to be characterized by a mad quest for
the satisfaction OF desire and appetite?
One of the most remarkable preachers
this country has known once observed to
me that his Summer was q time for re-
plenishing spent mental forces. 1t was
his practice to gather together books
that he felt bound to read, and to be-
take himself to one Of the charming
mountain villages Of Switzerland. There,
with long daily walks and indulgence in
some healthful outdoor sports, he re-
stored his spent physical forces, and q
portion of each day was given to re-
Election and reading Of worthwhile
books. He returned to his great pulpit
each Fall and during the latter years
OF his life he displayed increasing genius
as a preacher and prophet.

Another Landmark Passing.

While for some years it has been
definitely known that the British en-
Dassy at Connecticut avenue and N
street was to be abandoned and prob
ably destroyed, as soon as its successor
structure was completed and ready for
use, the announcement that it is to be
RACED and replaced by a large COM
mercial building causes a sense of loss
to those who respect the landmarks of
Washington. 1t was inevitable, of
course, that the old-fashioned building
should pass. It had served its purpose,
for . long period, and it was outdatad
in style and, in private ownership, it
would be improbable to retain it as
souvenir Of the past. Nevertheless, it
viii be missed.
This structure was Of q kind that
was regarded when it was erected as
the last word in elegance. It's massive
porte-cochere, set slightly askew to the
street, was impressive. Such a build
ing, however, would not be designed
and built nowadays. 1t belonged to q
period OF inArtistic planning. Still, 1t
was in It's day the pride Of the Capital.
1t was pointed out TO visitors as queen
Victoria's" building. In those times the
legations-there were no embassies
here until long after its erection-were
leasd and not owned by the foreign ma
tions represented by their occupants.
England's ownership of this particular
structure set II apart. Now several Of
the foreign delegations are permanently
housed in goyernment-owned structures.
The passing OF landmarks Is one OF
the penalties paid for the development
Of Washington. Numerous conspicuous
structures have gone in the past few
years, and others are doomed to 60 in
the near future. Recently note was
made of the destruction soon TO occur

Every man who started out with me
has returned" said Admiral Byrd last
night at the Auditorium at the con-
clusion of his address in acceptance of
the National Geographic Society medal
for his South Polar expedition. 1--WE
left not single man on the ice. Every
one is here tonight"
This simple statement evoked In
slant and loud applause from the great
audience assembled to witness the cere-
mony and to see the pictures Of the
expedition. Perhaps no other words
uttered caused so ardent q manifesto
ton. There on the stage, behind the
commander, sat the eighty men who
accompanied him, every man present as
on the day when the expedition sailed
for the South. A truly wonderful dem
onstration Of splendid leadership.
1t needed no particular proof through
the vivid motion pictures of the perils
Of the expedition to cause those who
were present to appreciate the magni-
tude of the achievement Of taking this
number Of men to Antarctica, some to
the very Pole, and back home without
the loss Of q single life-indeed, with
out any serious mishap. Those perils
were graphically shown. The terrors
Of the freakish climate were evident.
The treaehery of the ice was thrillingly
demonstrated. Yet there on the stage
was every man who went South with
Byrd-no absentees, no substitutes
present and all well.
This circumstance Is perhaps the
most gratifying Of all connected with
the expedition. The penalties paid for
polar research and attainment have
been heavy. Many gallant men have
persisted in efforts to extend human
knowledge Of the terrible wastes of the
frozen zones. Cairns now standing
beneath the snow mark many graves.
But IN this case, thanks to careful pro-
visioning snestol the use OF every con-
ceiVable device for comfort and for
the sustenance Of life and for the
averting disaster, this band Of eighty
men went out and spent months in
the Antarctic and came back-every
man, with every limb, in perfect health
Such leadership is worth all the
plaudits that can be bestowed. And
such q crew, obedient to orders, true
to discipline. cooperative in the high
est degree with the commander, in
teillgently appreciGtive of the need of
team work In deeds and In spirit, should
receive not only congratulations upon
being able to answer Here" at the
homecoming roll call, but the highest
praise for their share in the success.
