PAY AS YOU CO. ,
NOW DISTRICT
POLICY
Building Program Curtailed
Until the Revenues Can Z.
Garry Expense

All District contracts not
already executed are being
cut 10 per cent from apprO-
priations provided for them,
in accordance with the pro-
visions of The economy bill
and the policy of the District
Economy Committee.
The District is bending every
effort toward keeping expenses
safely within revenues. AS a re-
suit, it has resisted all tempta-
tions to float bond issues, though
these have often been suggested
by Congress.
The last District bond issue
dated from the 70's and was
paid off through a sinking fund
in 1923. Since that time the
District has had no funded debt
and is undertaking no improve
ments that cannot be paid for
out of current revenues.
NO FunuS, NO bulluln8
The former surplus of $6,500,-
900 in the Federal Treasury has
been eliminated, due to abnormal
expenses of the last two years,
and, although most cities consider
erection of new buildings addi-
tions to capital equipment and
finance them through bond is
sues, the District has decided to
defer building it's new municipal
center until times are more pro-
pitious.
The site has been purchased,
and one unit of the building de-
signed, but since no funds are
available the project is in abey-
ance for the time being.
The only liability of the District
in any way comparable to a liza
bility under a bond issue is that
of $1,000,00O a year under the
Cramton bill for park develop
ment. This plan was opposed in
many quarters, but it was enacted
nevertheless, and the $1,000, 900 is
now regarded simply as a fixed
charge upon District revenues.
Policy Cuts Taxes
Taxes in the District would be
much higher, it is pointed out. if
the pay-as-you-go policy were
abandoned. Taxes have been in
creased during the present period
of economic stress, as a matter of
necessity, because there is less
property on which to assess them,
and because needs are greater;
but the intention of District Of
ficials is to keep budgets of all de-
partments to the lowest possible
figures.
To insure fair treatment of
District employees and maintenance
of morale among the personnel.
the practice is to reduce forces
only through retirement of the
superannuated, through resigna-
tions and by a relatively small
number of discharges, usually for
cause

FEDERAL HEADS
Hyatt REFUND

Although two monthly pay days
have gone by since Congress Sug-
gested volunteer remittances from
Federal officers, only two of 200
Federal judges have responded.
This was learned today in the
Treasury Department, but Off
cials there declined to divulge
names. One of the jurists is here
in the District; the other is in
Illinois. One check was for $125
and the other for 1888, both
representing a percentage of July
salaries.
Since Congress cut all Federal
salaries except those protected by
Constitutional provisions. only
three officers have availed them
selves of the refund privilege"
President Hoover announced he
would return 20 per cent Of his
$4,000 salary.
1t was surmised by Treasury
officials that other remittanceS
may be on the way.

APPENDIX
REMOVED

The canine population of Rich

"Tim," a Boston terrier owned
by j. Irving Kaufman of
Richmond, is recuperating at DR..
Buckingham'S Dog Hospital on
Fourteenth Street from an opera
tion for appendicitis and he is
going home to tell them all
about it.
The operation was performed
by DR.. Mason Weadon and is
the second in the 80 years his
tory Of the hospital. It was
highly successful and the pup,
a frisky three-year-old, is en-
tirely free from the mysterious
pain that had been troubling him
for months. "
Says DR.. Weadon:
"We decided it was q bad
appendix that was troubling
him by the process Of elimina-
tiOn. It could have been one
Of five different ailments and
after we had eliminated four of
them we operated. His appen-
dix was in bad way and was,
undoubtedly, the thing that
had been giving him so much
trouble"
The only other appendicitis
case the hospital has handled
was that of a 12-year-old poodle
some years ago. 1t. too, was sue
cessful and the dog lived to a
ripe old age after his recovery
from the operation.

CHARGED
IN PAY CUT

A decision affecting chiefly the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
was handed down today by Comp
troller General j. r. McCarl, re-
quiring the impounding in the
Treasury of 8.3 per cent of the
salaries of al Treasury Depart
ment employees who are paid di-
rectly from assessments against
Federal Reserve banks, not di-
rectly from the Treasury.
In a recent decision, McCarl
ruled that such employees need
not have their salaries reduced by
the economy act. The present
decision, however, requires that
8.3 per cent of their salaries be
considered as part of the cost of
Federal Reserve banks which such
banks must repay to the Treas
ury.

their capitalist courts, reports to the

held, indicate.
The I. L. D., which is conducting
the defense of these two militant
miners, has through its investigation
carried on in the month gained by
Ipostponement of the trial, obtained
plenty of evidence to show the two
miners were repeatedly threatened
and finally attacked by the mine
guard they are charged with having
killed.
Mass protest against the prosecu-
ton of Orloff and Opeck has been
aroused all over the. country, and
especially in the East Ohio and West
Virginia mining regions. Mass meet
ings of miners have been held daily,
at which resolutions demanding the
immediate release of the two were
passed and sent to Judge Baker and
Prosecutor Albert Schuman at Nor
gantown. Resolutions forwarded to-
day included those passed by Pitts
burgh, Peabody, Mass; Boston, Mass,
and Bay Port, Mich, branches of the
Russian Mutual Aid Society and
from mass meetings in Worcester,
