favored sections are getting the bene-
fits of improvements on a $2.T0 tax
rate basis, while the neglected sections
are getting back about SO cents in i'm
provements for every S1.70 of taxes
that are mulcted out of them. This is
q grievance that ought to be remedied,
and If it we're remedied by a fair dis
tribution of the outlay for public i'm
provements the tax question would take
care of itself and the rates would ma
turally approach that of comparable
cities where no discrimination is made
between the hovel and the palace and
where public sentiment is ever alert to
demand sanitary and other improve
mentS which are up to date in efficiency
and utility commensurate with the
needs of civilized modern city.
There Is no doubt in my mind that
this obstinate adherence to the $9,000,-
900 lump sum year after year, whether
the total expenditures are $31 ,00O, ,000-
as in 1925-or $45. 0OO, ,OOO-as in the
next fiscal years. a serious incubus
upon the development Of the Capital.
Calculating and making their esti-
mates on that basis, the budget Is
hampered each year in laying out
projects for the betterment of the Cap
ital. If it was once realized that Con-
greSs would act generously and en-
courage substantial outlay for streets,
sewers, water, lighting and paving
throughout the District, am quite sure
these necessary things would be done,
and the taxpayers would be willing to
ungrudgingly pay their share.

FIRST PRESIDENTS
PORTRAITS STUDIED
Committee of Experts to
Choose BEST Likeness" for
BicentenniaI Commission.

Seven experts in art and the history
of George Washington, who comprise
the special committee named to select
for the George Washington Bi-Centen-
nial Commission the official portrait OIL
best likeness of the first President, >
met this morning in the Fine Arts
Division Of the Library of Congress and
are spending the day studying all OF
the numerous portraits of Washington
which have been grouped there for their
inspection.
Dr. Leicester B. Holland. chief of the
Division of Fine Arts, VINO is chairman
OF this special committee does not be-
Ieve that they will reach a final de-
ctSion today. There will probably be
several more meetings before they
choose the picture to be distributed
officially in 1882 by the Bi-Centennial
Commission all over the United States,
Members of Committee Present.
Those present this morning included
DR.. Holland, Charles Moore, of the Fine
Arts Commission; DR.. John c. Fitzpat-
rick of the Library of Congress, expert
on Washingtoniana; Col. Harrison B.
Dodge, superintendent of Mount
Vernon; Ezra Winter of New York.
painter and critic; DR.. Albert Bushnell
Hart of Cambridge, Mass, historian of
the Bi-Centennial Commission, and
Carl Melcher of Selmouth, Va, noted
painter.
The committee is giving the closest
scrutiny to all of the hundreds of oil
paintings. paStels and line drawings of
George Washington. There was no in
dication today as to what their final
decision would be. Many persons
thought, however, that they would
choose one of the better known por-
traits like those painted by the artists
Stuart, Peale or Trumbull.
Washington Relatives Quoted.
While these pictures are better known
TO the public than many of the others
submitted, there are records, neverthe-
less, showing that members of George
Washington's family and his close
friends who knew him while he was
alive regarded one or two of the por-
traits by other artists as better like
nesses, notably one by James Sharples.
To the general public the best known
likeness is the famous picture by Stuart
on the dollar bill. Most persons hold
this as their conception of how Wash
1ngton looked, regardless of what his
tory may show, simply because the
Government has circulated this engrav-
ing on the dollar bill in such enormous
quantities and so widely.
