The District Appropriation Bill

AS the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee points out in its report on the
District apprc priations bill, the rec
commended Federal contribution of So
$4,000 does rot reflect an eQui-
table settlement" of the fiscal relations
uestion, but carries out the Senate's
policy, dictated by need for drastic Fed
eral retrenchment in all expenditures
of cutting Federal expenditures by
10 per cent.
The amount recommended by the
Senate committee for this year alone is
not TO be regarded therefore, even II
the light of a compromise figure. 1t does
not represent the equitable contribution
by the Federal Government in this OF
any other year. 1t is an amount ar
rived at by an arbitrary process of re-
duction adopted by the Senate in the
nane of economy and in the apparent
belief that it is the only practical expedi-
eft that can be made to work. And
while it corrects in degree the obvious
ineouities and the practical defects OF
the drastic reduction in the lump sum
proposed by the House, which would
cripple the municipal government and
threaten the local community with ex-
tortionate taxation. 1t is to be regarded
only as a temporary expecient.
The Senate Subcommittee on Dis
trict Appropriations recommended a
Federal lump sum for this year of
SlO,183, ,39l-tilis amount being based
on the Bureau Of Efficencys estimate
OF the Federal Governments obliga-
tion as a mythical taxpayer, plus OBJ
legations arising from other conSidera-
tions of the unusual character of the
Federal City That figure would more
nearly represent the equitable Federal
obigation-under the lump sum prin-
Ciple - although the formula upon
which it is based does not adequately
cover the many factors that would go
into its final determination. The cut
of Sl,633.c9l under this amount, ordered
by the full committee, is partial indi-
cation Of the extent to which the harsh
dictates of Federal economy have been
applied to the District bill.
By its increase over the House figure
the Senate committee has been able to
accomplish two things.
The local budget. unbalanced by a
falling off of local revenues and from
the unprecedented slashes made by the
House has been restored to approXi-
mate balance.
Essentially important items, elimi-
mated by the House, have been restored,
and disruption or paralysis of mu-
nicipal work prevented.
Elsewhere in The Stars columns
today these restored items are de-
sCribed. 1t is with satisfaction that
the local community notes among them
the item CT 100000 payable from the
revenues of the District of Columbia
for the relief of residents of this city
unemployed or Otherwise in distress
because of the existing emcl g2ncy, to
be expended by the Board of Public
Welfare by loan. employment Or

Abbot, secretary Of the Smithsonian In
stitution. in a modest way, has not
opened the path to a clearer under
standing by inventing machine which
far better and more accurately than
the mind itself. can analyze these vi
brations Of time and detect the hidden
secondaries under the fundamentals
which are responsible for the mystical
timbre. 1t may well constitute the
corner stone Of new science.
With the aid of this machine DR.
Abbot has succeeded in drawing out OF
the complex Of climate. all in the
course of a few months, numerous
hidden frequencies, minor wave motions
within the major wave motion of the
seasons. But there may be, just such in
tangible minor vibrations within the
major vibrations OF all the phenomena
Of nature.
The progression of birth and death
follows some similar pattern. Depres-
sion and elation. there is reason to be-
OF the same pattern. 1t runs through
history with the cres.s of peace and the
deep troughs of war. 1t runs through
the mind of the ages with such alter
mating periods as the intense and fruit
full activities of the Elizabethan era
giving way to the dull sterility of the
Restoration.
Can the p2riodometer perhaps great
ly improved, split into their constitu-
ent parts the strange timbres of these
tones which make up the weird song of
time? Men may be approaching a far
clearer understanding of them than
ever has been possible during the long
ages of the race. This may be long
step forward toward a knowledge of
those hidden natural laws which con-
troll mankind but of which it has, at the
best. only vague consciousness.

OldUS u6xC november,
OF more concern to the drys, how
ever. was the primary for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination in North
Carolina. There wet, Robert r. Rey-
nolds, took Senator Cameron Morrison
''for a ride" No one. not even Brook
hart, has been dryer than Morrison. On
July 2 there is to be second primary
with Reynolds opposing Morrison and
all other candidates out of the picture.
The candidates who ran third and
fourth in the recent primary are re-
ported to be wet and inclined to support
Reynolds for the nomination. while the
fifth candidate was a dry, and his fol-
lowers. few in number. may turn to
Morrison. If in North Carolina the
Democrats nominate a wet for the Sen
ate and elect him. then. indeed 1t is
time for the defenders Of the eighteenth
amendment to look out for squalls.

Probably the Democrats would be
more exercised over the prohibition as
it affects their own party if they did
not feel that they have the solid
South" nailed down again. They be-
lieve that any wet Democratic nominee
tor President can carry the South eX-
cept AL Smith. What has Just hap
pened N the North Carolina primary
would seem to indicate even more
strongly that they are correct in their
estimate that a Roosevelt Ritchie, a
Baker could sweep the South this year.
Outside of the South, the Democratic
party for the most part has been con-
sistently and overwhelmingly wet in re-
cent years. Even in the West this has
been true and is becoming more and
more true Under these circumsta noes,
the Democratic leaders have made up
their minds not only to nominate a wet
kind of wet plank in their platform
The degree Of wetness is the only ques-
tion that remains to be settled. There
is no suggestion that the plank will
be dry.

JURY |ND|CTS z
IN TIRE THEFT

A severe blow at automobile
stealing was dealt by the District
Grand Jury yesterday when an
indictment charging conspiracy
to violate the National Motor
Theft Act was returned against
two men.
Those named in the indictment
we're Arthur Weismiller and
Henry Berman, of New York. The
indictment charges that the con-
spiracy began in January, 1881,
and continued until the present
time. Weismiller also was in
dicted on two other charges Of
stealing autos and one of house.
breaking in connection with the
theft of a car from a garage.
Three colored men, Alonzo Tay,
lor, David Drummings and Ma
thanial Green, were indicted OH
charges of first degree murder.
They are accused of killing, re-
spectively, William Roy, Eliza
Drummings and Blonnie Fergu-
son. All those killed were col
ored.
Five persons charged with
