employed they must have

This selfish, miserly class exists in

in the Chambers of commencement

off when committee assignments are

make some sacrifice of time and energy

NEW ASSESSMENT
| PLAN IS PROVIDED
Bill Changing Montgomery
System Offered in House
at Annapolis.
BY GEORGE PORTER,
staff Correspondent Of The star.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 3.-Seven
bills sponsored by the Montgomery
County Democratic leaders were dropped
in the House hopper last night. Three
OF the measures provide for bond issues.
while the others authorize miscellaneous
administrative changes.
One o. the bond issue bills calls for
a $780, 900 loan to reflnance amounts
expended from the emergency fund for
the site for the new court house at
Rockville, another Is for $50, 1000 10 care
for deficiency in the construction OF
county buildings at Bethesda and silver
Spring, while the third would aarthog-
lie the county commissioners to borrow
money against property purchased by
the county treasurer for default OF
taxes.
The administrative act calling for
the most radical change in the present
county government was the one to
substitute a board of assessment for the
present county assessor, and provide
for new system of making assess
ments which, the delegates say, Will
prove more economical and Efficient
Disbursement Committee Proposed.
The establishment of a county dis
bursement committee, as provided In
another bill, Is another move designed
to provide more efficient county manage
ment. The committee would act as
an advisory board to the county COM
missionerS as to the legality of any
vouchers or accounts submitted for
payment.
The fire company bill is designed as
check on new fire companies and as
a safeguard against the organization of
companies in areas that cannot support
or desire them. The county now pays
$500 year for every piece of apparatus
owned by company in active service
Companies organized after the passage
of the bill, however. will be required
to file formal application for such an
allotment and viii not receive any aid
unless their request is approved by the
county commissioners.
The bill introduced last week by Or.
Edmonds, providing that one of the
county commissioners could be desig-
mated road supervisor, was favorably
reported by the Montgomery delegation
last night.

SALT AGREEMENT
REACHED BY GANDH|
Big Step to End Civil Disobe.
dance Campaign Foreseen
in Today's Move.
BY the Associated Press.

by the AsS0claIed PreSS.
NEW DELHI, March 3.-Mahatma
Gandhi and Sir George schuster, Indian
finance minister, comforting today at
the Vice-Regal Palace, reached an
agreement on the salt question, one of
the outstanding problems in the way of
abandonment Of the civil disobedience
campaign.
Almost exactly a year ago the Indian
Nationalist, led by Gandhi, initiated a
campaign of violation of the salt laws,
which provide for British monopoly.
Throughout current negotiations for
has commended that the Indian people
be empowered to make their own salt.
Gandhi arose at 4 am. and was seen
on the balcony of his house with his
arms outStretched to heaven praying
and reciting the litany of the Gita, or
Hindu Bible. Beside him, with her face
toward the dawn, stood the mystical
white-robed figure of Miss Madeline
Slade, British-born convert of the Ma
hatma.
Farley With Lord Irwin.
The agreement between Gandhi and
Sir George was reached after a two
hour conference. After taking an hours
rest Gandhi proceeded to the viceroy's
10 JdlhS Will
Irwin which, 1t was expected, would
lead today to formal agreement per-
hitting abandonment Of the civil DISC
bedience campaign.
It was understood the agreement pro-
vides that people living on the seacoast
will be allowed to manufacture and sell
salt, which will be regarded as natures
gift to them.
Acknowledgement of this principle, it
fyaxa ntA
rally with the government salt monop-
oily, which will still supply salt to the
major part of India.
The text of the formula upon which
agreement was reached was not imme-
diately available.
Satisfaction Is Expressed.
Much satisfaction was expressed here
at the conclusion of the agreement,
which clears the way of one of the most
important obstacles to settlement of
Nationalist demands and participation
of the Congress party in round table
conference to work out q new constitu-
tional status for India.
1t was confidently expected by close
observers that Gandhi and Lord Irwin
would find formulas or compromises
during their conversations today on
other points at issue. These include
Gandhi'S demand for an investigation
of alleged police brutality, picketing of
shops and the boycott of foreign goods.
Although the Mahatma declared this
morning that he was determined to
close his conversations with Lord Irwin
today, it was considered possible that
discussion Of final details of the settle
meft might be extended until tomorrow.
This was indicated when Gandhi this
afternoon ordered his special meal of
dates, brown bread and goats milk
brought to the viceroy's palace before
sunset so that he would not have to In
terrupt the great volume of work still
confronting the two negotiators.

VETERANS CONGEST
JOBLESS LODGINGS
Many Are Being Turned
Away-Record for One Day
at Gospel Mission.

The Capitals free lodging houses, al
ready crowded with jobless men, have
been overlooking since Washington
became the mecca of veterans seek
ing bonus loans.
The largest number of men ever to
apply in one day were accommodated
last night at the Gospel Mission, 214
John Marshal place.
Here 336 transients received supper,
place to sleep and breakfast this
morning, about four times the average
on this date last year.
Less ample facilities forced the Mu-
nicipal Lodging House, 312 Twelfth
street, to turn away almost as many
men as were accepted-50 in all.
Special Preparations Made.
This lodging house has been full
nightly for the Winter months, although
applications have jumped since the for
mer service men began to come to
Washington.
Special preparations have been made
to care for out-of-town veterans at BIT
C street and at the District Soldiers
Home, 921 Pennsylvania avenue south
east.
At the former address some rs visi-
tors are being accommodated, about half
of whom are members of the box car
brigade" of Seattle, Wash, veterans
which arrived Sunday after six-week
overland trek.
Friends Of former service men OBJ
tanned the loan of Army cots and
blankets from the War Department,
enough for so men. Under sponsorship
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, they
leased a 22-room building and obtained
enough fuel to keep the furnace going.
Expect Checks Shortly.
Many free dodgers here and at the
District Soldiers Home expect to OBJ
tain Government checks in few days.
Meanwhile, they are dependent for the
most part, upon the charity of friends
Beginning tonight. hot supper will
be provided for those stopping at BIT G
street, although coffee and dHughnuts
have been handed out each morning
since. the retreat was established. The
men will be fed as long as the.e is need.
The District Soldiers Home is keep
ing about SO visitors daily and pro-
viding free meals for many more. All
bear service credentials and are being
assisted to straighten out their affairs
with the Government
The District Department, American
Legion, through its Welfare and Re-
lief Committee, with headquarters in
the Shoreham Building, Fifteenth and
II streets, has set up an emergency
service for out-of-town veterans.
Many needy visitors are being as
signed to free lodging places here, both
in public and private homes. In some
cases new shoes or serviceable over
coats are handed out to replace those
worn out on the way to Washington.
Under auspices of local chapters, Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, a bread line
has been established on Sixth street
near Pennsylvania avenue, in one sec
ton of the old National Hotel, now
headquarters for the District National
Guard.
