Consolation for Taxpayers
No Extra Burdens on District People by Congress.

There is consolation for District people in the statement
by Representative Collins Mississippi that Congress will not
impose additional burdens this city for the next fiscal
year, starting July !, 1882
Mr. Collins is member of the Special House Committee,
headed by Representative Mapes appointed to into District
fiscal affairs and recommend additional taxes.
The Msssppan is opposed to any increased taxes and
stands for rigid economy in District matters

of "ambulatory patients" who
are not sick enough for hospi-
tails but desperately in need of a
few nights rest, some cod liver
oil, orange and tomato juice.
Weren't there rest wards where
one could send such men? No.
How about building or renting a
big barracks-filling it with beds
hiring caretaker? All too ex-
pensive. But there must be
something
There was. They found that
there were several small hotels,
patronized by workingmen,
where small, clean rooms could
be had with clean linen, warm
blankets, hot water and good
air-adjacent to soup kitchens,
FOR $3.50 PER WEEK. if one
engaged, several rooms for a
longer period, a rate might be
made.
But how could one know
which men needed these roomsP
One couldn't know. But the
doctor at the clinic could know.
When the doctor says-"Th1s
man needs a few days reSt-or
q week-or two weeks rest"
the room is waiting.
You Can Help
What can you do to help If
you only have a little money
and want to do real service?
That's what you can do. Get
in touch with some clinic where
such "ambulatory patient cases"
are being treated. Tell the
clinic that you wish to provide
a weeks, or more, lodging in
such a hotel for some weary
man whose condition the doctor
has passed on. Or, if you wish
your local community chest to
handle your funds, take up the
matter with them.
Better still, get a few OF your
friends together and let each
of you guarantee a room apiece
for one, or two or more months
time. Even ONE ROOM FOR
FOUR MONTHS might mean
the difference between hope
and despair, decency or crime,
life or death to Is or 20 men.
You want to help? Then
there's your chance.

The Tariff Situation

Nothing was submitted at the
conference at the White House
with the leaders of both parties
that has any political or party
significance.
The President previously had
held a secret conference with
leading banking interests and
he was ready with a plan for
submission to the official repre-
sentatives of the people.
The purpose of the plan pro-
posed is to mobilize the credit
of the nation in the interest of
the banks, industry and the
farms; to solve the problem of
the four billions Of frozen as
sets; to change the Federal
Reserve system to make it con-
form in one particular to the
special needs of these abnormal
times; to create a bank pool Of
$500,00O,0 900 to make possible
the rediscounting of bank assets
that cannot now be rediscounted
by the Federal Reserve banks.
The Democratic leaders in
Congress invited have accepted
the plan in principle. In the
working out Of the details OF
that part Of the plan requiring
congressional action differences
may arise, but even these are not
likely to have party significance:
The approaching visit of Laval
was not discussed, but the Presi.

Prediction on Tariff
Blunder Has Come True

OAW4AWC4 41eSS NVA4AO &A ~S
For illustration: Democratic
leaders are honestly convinced
that the economic good Of the
country demands a scaling
down of the tariff walls below
the level Of the present pro-
hibitive rates.
They opposed the Grundy
tariff on the ground that it
would seriously impair our for
eign trade, invite the retalia-
tion Of other nations and there
by shut us out Of foreign mar
ketS we previously had enjoyed
and force our factories beyond
the tariff wall where foreign,
and not American, labor would
be employed. All these things
have come to pass.
The contention Of these Demo
Gratis at that time was likewise
the contention of bankers,
business men and practically
all the economists of the coun-
try. When the Administration
Of Mr.. Hoover. forced this meas
ure through he made that 90
nomic question a party issue.
Should the Democrats, now
thoroughly vindicated by events,
insist on a downward revision Of
the tariff, they cannot be ac-
cused Of playing petty politics.
They are as much interested irP
the restoration of prosperity as
Mr.. Hoover, and their wisdom
in this instance appears to have
been superior to his.
OF course, Mr.. Anderson will
not accuse them of partisan
purposes" &of an unworthy sort
If they now continue their de-
mand for action on the tariff.

broken shoes?
You're going to meet hun

Not professional loafers" or
beggars. Decent fellows, who've
never tramped before, whom
you'll want to help. But how?
Marshall Maslin, editorial
writer of the San Francisco Call
Bulletin knows how these men
feel and how they can best be
helped. He told about it in an
editorial which he's letting me
use. Listen
do you know what happens
to men who can't get work and
have no homes, who walk the
streets and stand on corners,
and are known to their more
secure fellow-citizens merely as
privates in thu great army of
the unemployed?
They get sick.
A Hard Lot
"They eat at soup kitchens,

existence. They pick up a little
money here and there, at odd
jobs. or. desperately, by beg
ging. They sleep out or they
sleep in poor rooms. They eat
badly. They eat bread, beans,
doughnuts and coffee.
"And they get sick.
Bread and beans and

good things, but they can not
make up q whole diet for any

Election upon either Senator
Borah, who frequently is at
odds with Administration poll
cieS, or upon Senator Reed Of
Pennsylvania, who is an eX-
ceedingly strong man.
These men of the minority
are not likely to do a stupid
thing at this juncture.
A Bit Of Sound
Advice Is Given
But this does not mean that
the minority has no obligation
to press for the reforms it
thinks essential for the nations
good, even though the Presi-
dent may not share these views.
B. M. Anderson, the econo-
mist of the Chase National
Bank, told a luncheon club at
Chicago Tuesday that the time
has come for public men to
suspend their acrimonies and
their partisan purposes and to
unite on a sound economic pro
gram, regardless Of political
consequences" ....
OF course, Mr.. Anderson must
understand that some economic
programs involve political prin-
ciples and policies. When
parties divide conscientiously
on economic policies, a political
issue is created.
