AUSTIN, Nov. 1--"Good for the
state; good for the farmer. good for
the city taxpayer" This is what
State Treasurer w. Gregory Hatcher
thinks of quarterly payment OF state
taxes.
The installment plan would let
the owner use his money for half
the year when the state doesn't need
1t, would spread the payments cut
% where he wouldn't have TO borrow
money TO pay taxes: would let the
farmer sell eggs and milk to meet
the payments.
For the state, il would prevent
the every winter deficiency that costs
employees 500, 900 in discount OF the
states hot checks, and 1t would
enormously cut down the delinquent
tax rolls. Mr.. Hatcher says. The
only man it would hurt would be
the contract collectors Of delinquent
taxes.

DISTRICT AIR MILITIA
PLAN TURNED DOWN
Hurley Notifies Aviation Group
Here No Funds Are Avail
able for Such Unit.

Patrick J. Hurley, Secretary Of War,
today turned down the request Of the
D. G. Air Legion that National Guard
observation squadron be organized in
the District of Columbia.
In a letter to T. j. Waggy, general
manager of the legion, a local private
flying club, Mr.. Hurley said that there
are no funds available for creation Of
such a squadron.
'aThe interest of the D. c. Air Legion
IN such an organization and the fact
that there are many individuals in the
legion who would be good material for
such a unit are appreciated" Mr.. Hur-
ley stated in his letter to Waggy.
However, due to the large cost of
observation Squadrons to the Federal
Government and to the fact that there
are many essential divisional combat
units allotted and now awaiting organ
ization. it is impossible to give your re-
quest favorable consideration"
The legion recently proposed the Gre
alton of a District National Guard OBJ
servation squadron, stating that there
are sufficient trained civilian pilots in
the District who are willing TO join such
a unit to put it on an operating basis
as soon as 1t is approved.

FOR YEGG BATTLE
PvtS. Lewis and Murphy Are

EAST CAPITOL DRIVE
TO Be CONSIDERED
Plans Commission Will Study
Scheme for Widening
Highway Area.

An effort will be made to relieve
Washingtons unemployment situation
through the improvement of East Capt.
tol street, as far as Lincoln Park,
Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, said today, in explaining
that the final plans for the proposed
development of that thoroughfare will
come before the commission at its
meeting on Friday and Saturday. Mr..
Delano is chairman of the Districts
unemployment organization, as well as
head of the commission.
Trees to Be Saved.
The fine row of trees on East Capitol
street would be preserved under Mr..
Delano's plan, with two 27-foot service
drives on either side Of the 50-foot
highway. This will be the first step in
the expansion program. as these two
service drives would be paved and
curbing constructed. If the program of
improving East Capitol street as far as
Lincoln Park is well received, Mr.. De-
lano believes that development from
Lincoln Park to Anacostia Park could
proceed later.
The Planning Commissions chairman
does not share the enthusiasm of those
who wish to change the name of East
Capitol street to the Avenue of the
States, as he deems the Capitol Build
ing of sufficient dignity to have the
name preserved in the thoroughfare.
Not only may the States erect buildings
there If they wish, he explains, but
structures, such as the Folger Library
might also be constructed. Institutions
connected with the Congressional Lii
brary, with Congress and with the Su-
preme Court of the United States might
desire to erect buildings along this
street, Mr.. Delano says.
May Aid East Growth.
Development of East Capitol street is
desired, Mr.. Delano pointed out as the
trend of the city up to this time has
been to the westward, although the east
steps of the Capitol were designed as
the more important part of the struc-
ture, for there the Presidents of the
United States take the oath of Office.
1T is very important to show that
for some purposes the East Capitol
street location is better for certain
structures than any other site In the
CITY," Mr.. Delano asserted.
