Black Euolves
Parking Fee
PQn6 ford. {.

Representative Loring M. Black,
jr. CD of New York today said
he is preparing a traffic bill
which will provide special parking
tags for District automobiles.
Black, some time ago, suggested
that space under Washington's
parks and triangles be utilized for
underground garages, so that the
streets could be cleared of parked
vehicles and relieve traffic conges-
ton.
Under the New Yorker's new
plan, the revenue derived from
the special parking tags would be
placed in a fund which would be
utilized for the construction of
the subway garages.
Black also is considering put
ting a clause in the bill which
would give employment to several
score of elderly men and curtal
duties of traffic policemen. The
civilians would cover specified
beats and see that automobiles

merely cloak for the simple of taking jobs
away from your enemies and giving them to your
friends This where the statistics enter the argu-
ment for the total number of jobs held by Jews can
not be than quarter of million and is prob
ably much smaller.
Not Enough Motive
Germany is country much like our own indus
traly and in country less than half the population
works. Children mbecies, and the very old are
linked with the very wealthy as nonworkers, ana
housewives earning regular pay, are added to the
number. There are about half million Jews in Ger
many and if we subtract the nonworkers, we come to
a maximum of 100000 jobs. The question for Hitler,
then is whether it has been worth while to sacrtlce
his position world affairs for the moderate gain of
giving his followers these few jobs.
Some of them were rather positions" than jobs
positions of authority and influence, in the theater
in the world of education, in journalism, and notably
in finance Nothing seems to reasonable than
Hters determination that his regime should not be
jeopardized by people who do not share his policies
and great bankers, great newspaper owners and IN
fuental teachers could undermine his strength The
puzzle is that the economic motive in Hitlersm IS too
clear in small ways and too obscure in great ones
Taking jobs away from Jews cannot be worth the
price Hitler has pad-a price which seems to include

BRING IN YOUR FAMILY
es' HEIRLOOMS A

We were reading in a recent
magazine article that nearly every
town has a lot of very interesting
old antiques and if they could be
gotten together with their history,
it would be an education to mostly
every one. In line with that
thought we would be glad if any
of our local readers would bring in
anything old and interesting in
the way Of jewelry or silverwarc
and let lis exhibit it in our show
window with a card outlining its
history. We suggest that the article
should be at least fifty years old,
be in fairly good condition and
have a family or historical asso-
citation.
We will also exhibit any article
that we think Of general Interest
although the origin may be vague
and if desired will put the owners
selling price on it. Insurance will
be carried against fire but not theft.
Bring in your old family heirloomj
in jewelry and silver and let every
body enjoy your pleasure with you.

For a Price
'TambOurine' Bills Said
to Be Prepared for
Legislature.

ID EPORTS Of "tambourine bills"
IN having been presented, or
being considered for presentation,
in the legislature reached Gov
ernor Paul v. McNutt, and
aroused his ire today.
To those unfamiliar with lobby
ist jargon, a "tambourine bill" is
one introduced for the purpose
merely of making a collection"
This is done both by direction
and indirection.
Backers push the measure to
passage, and then kill it en- route
when they secure their price, or
friends of theirs may organize a
lobby against it, and thus get on
some pay roll. This latter method
sometimes is resorted to by for
mer members of the legislature,
who feel that they know the
ropes"
A watchful eye is being kept
on such things this session and
possible prosecution looms for
those caught.
Governor McNutt expressed
contempt for special interests,
which will permit themselves to
be shaken down by "tambourine
bills" .. ..-.
