ON D. c. TAX BILLS.
Stanton Park Association
Scores Failure of House
to Hold Hearings.

Another civic organization last night
added its voice to the storm of protest
against the Mapes Committee bills pro-
posing additional taxation for District
residents.
The Stanton Park Citizens Associa-
ton, meeting in the Peabody School,
voted unanimously adoption of resolu
tions criticizing the House for approx
ing the Mapes report without granting
public hearings. The resolutions were
offered by H. N. Stull. They read;
Omission of Hearings Scored.
Resolved, by the Stanton Park Citi-
ZenS' Association, in regular meeting as
Sembled, That we earnestly protest
against the haSty manner in which the
tax legislation for the District of Co.
lumbia was enacted by the House of
Representatives without a hearing or
opportunity on the part of the resi-
dents of the District to be heard there
on: and that we further protest against
the reduction in the lump-sum appro-
priation by Congress and the enactment
of the bills referred to as a direct means
of reducing what We believe to be the
Federal Governments just share toward
the upkeep of the District; be it fur
ther
Resolved, That copies of these reso-
lutions be sent to the District Commits

CITIZENS OPPOSE
MAPES TAX BILLS
BrookIand Group Also Pro-
poses Elective Board of
Education at Meeting.

To the accompaniment of salvos OF
verbal heavy artillery aimed impair
TALLY at members of Congress, the
Mapes Committee bills to increase tax
alton and a proposal that an elective
Board of Education replace the one
now appointed by the District Su-
preme Court, members Of the Brook
land Citizens Association last night
went on record as active opponents OF
all these measures.
Before adopting a resolution request
ing the Senate to defer action on the
Mapes bill until objections to 1t can be
voiced by the Federation of Citizens
Associations. members of the Brook
land group expressed their feelings con-
cerning the measures in no uncertain
terms. That feeling Of unanimity eX-
isted was conclusively shown by the
fact that not one voice favoring either
measure was raised in opposition 10
the attackers of the proposals.
Taxation without representation
brought on the conflict with England
which resulted in the founding of this
country as a separate political unit,
declared William V. Lewis Of the aSso-
ciation, "and the situation pertaining
in the District of Columbia now differs
but little from the one which brought
on he war"
The association also went on record
as opposing the proposed change in
the method of naming the local Board
of Education, which would replace the
present appointive board with one
elected by popular vote.
Even in politically governed cities"
Rev Alpheus S. Mowbray declared, the
tendency is to remove the schools, so
far as possible, from political influence.
People now come here to take advan-
tage of our splendid public school sys-
TEN, and change in the method OF
naming the board would but make the
school foot ball in the political
arena"
Foundation work for the forthcom-
ing Community Chest drive for funds
for charity was laid by Elwood Street,
director of the Chest, when he ad-
dressed the meeting on the organiza-
ton of the various charity bodies op-
Grating in conjunction with the Com
munity Chest

NORTHEAST GROUP
HITS MAPES BILL
Elective Education Board
Also Is Opposed by
Citizens.

Strong criticism of the Mapes COM
mittee bills for increased taxes and of
the proposal for an elective Board of
Education was voiced last night by
members of the Northeast Washington
Citizens Association as the group went
on record as opposed to both measures.
1t was pointed out that existing tax
rates In the District OF Columbia are
comparable to rates in other cities and
that an increase in taxes would work
an injustice to the people OF Washing
ton and prove serious burden to them
The association urged that the 60-40
basis for Federal contribution to the
cost of District government and main
tenance be continued. Several mem
bers of the association pointed out that
the Bureau of Efficiency has recon-
mended in a report that the Federal
contribution be S10,0000o0.
Renew d. C. Va Plea.
The association adopted resolution
reafflrming its previous stand In sup
port of the joint resolution of the Sen
ate and House of Representatives to
amend the Constitution to permit the
people of the District to vote for Presi-
dent, to have representatives in Con-
gress and to sue and be sued in the
Federal Courts
Approval of the bill in Congress for
the discontinuance of alley dwellings
was voted The association took the
position that such dwellings are a
menace to health and mar the beauty
of the Capital City
Proposed legislation to appropriate
$4,000 for the alteration and repair
of Casualty Hospital and for retiring
the hospitals existing Indebtedness was
indorsed by the citizens after Roscoe
Fertich, member of the advisory board
of the institution, had made a short
address explaining the hospitals needs.
He said Casualty handled one-third
more ambulance cases during 1881 than
in 1880.
Uphold Capital Penalty.
Taking the stand that capital pun
ishment is the strongest known deter
rent to crime, the association went on
record in opposition to congressional
bill for it's abolishment in the District.
Eight new members were added to
the association last night. They were
B. L. Moss, H. H. Norton, Michael P.
Foley, j. S. Hope, Herman RiSner, Victor

Effective Use of Double Frills
BY MARY MARSHALL.
UNCLE RAY.

that the clothes of 1882 are thoroughly
modern and up to date.
Modern as these new clothes are they
are decidedly feminine and, while they
retain the simplicity of line that is so
essential to women Of today, they show
a lack of that severity that so generally
characterized clothes of the postwar
decade. And consequently they are
usually much more becoming. A
cleverly draped neckline, scarf drap-
cry. an ingeniously designed collar and
cuff set, a frill, a ruffle, girdle, Two
or three bowknotS. are all that is need
ed to add the feminine touch to dress
that might otherwise pe trif1e too
severe.
To the home dressmaker these trim
ming details should be of the utmost
importance and the very best prelim-
mary to bout of home dressmaking is
tour of the smart shopping centers to
make the first-hand observation of
these simple trimming effects.
Today's sketch shows a dress with
double frills. It's a simple idea that
any home dresSmaker can follow and
yet it really is most effective and gives
to an otherwise usual sort of dress a
look of real distinction. The dress
shown was made of black canton crepe
with frills made of shirred handker-
chief linen. one of white and the other
of gray Frills of this sort are easy to
make The edges are rolled and f1ne
shirring does the rest.

The buds are one-half to three

Sandy uplands and cold SwampS are
the favorite places these trees seek.
They may be found from New Bruins

The bark is thick and broken into
plates by deep irregular assures. The
wood is light red, soft. brittle, but
durable. In Nantucket and in the sterile
soil of Cape Cod it has made itself
beloved by its sturdy withstanding of
the winds and cold. The men who used
to have little time for the tree because
of its slight value as lumber, today
give it first place as a tree of courage
and faithfulness.
