OF d. c. Committees.
THE expressed desire OF both
Chairman King and Chairman
Norton for joint conferences Of the
Committees on the District Of Co
lurnbia on fiscal relations and other
District legislation inspires civic
leaders with q new hope. Past ex-
perience has shown that whenever
there has been a study of the ques-
ton of fiscal relations between the
United States and the District Of Co
lumbia by a joint committee of the
Senate and House, the resulting fnd-
ings have been favorable to the Dis
trict. Civic organizations have long
urged the establishment Of an equi-
table and definite system of Federal
contribution toward the operation
and development as absolutely essen
tial to an efficient and intelligent
consideration of District finances
and taxation.
The annual conflicts between the
two Houses Of "our local legislature"
over the question of how much Uncle
Sam shall contribute toward running
his own Capital is unbusinesslike and
productive of most unhappy situa-
ton between the Congress and the
local citizenry.
AS a practical business PROPOSE
ton, much can be said in favor Of
joint conferences on many other
matters of District legislation. Not
only would there be great saving
of time of legislators, District off,
cials and our citizens, but the saw
ings in money should be consider
able. There should be enormous re-
duction In the cost of reporting and
publishing in one report such joint
conferences or hearings instead Of
reports of two independent hearings.

the District is probably in q better
position on tax matters than on any
other subject because of the work Of
this joint conamittee.N The COMMITTEES
has been completely reorganized for

for the Citizens Joint Committee on

SENATE WILL ATTEMPT TWO
 HARD RULES
Debate to Be Cut Down Also Items in Appro-
 priation Bills

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A de- termination to clamp the lid on debate and cut appropriations with a sharper knife is evident in the Senate as it became more appar- ent that virtually nothing but the Supply bills will get through Con- gross before March 4.
 Negotiations are in progress to limit debate on all appropriation bills and some general agreement is predicted.
 Gets No Place
 The Senate got no place with the 15-minute debate limit yester- day, but expected to throw that body into high gear for the re- mainder of the session.
 The House is progressing on its sixth appropriation bill but there is little prospect that any sizeable cuts win be made.
 Jam of Business
 Difficulties in the way of con- troversial features, prospective vet oes and a general jam of busi- ness, indicated that such legisla- tion as farm and unemployment relief, bankruptcy reform, Prohibit tion repeal, beer legislation and drastic economy proposals will be dumped into the Spring special session along with Budget balanc- ing, revenue measure, imitation pro- posals and other important bills.

 PROMISES HELP
Tours Territory Not to Make Speeches But to
 Hear of Wants

Declaring his present tour of the Territory is not for the pur- pose of making speeches but with the view of getting the views of others, Delegate Elect Anthony J. Dimond told the Chamber of Con- merce today he would welcome suggestions from it and promised to do everything in his power as Delegate to Congress to carry out it's requests.
 T won't promise to get you all you want, probably no one could do that. But I shall make the effort and do my best, unless, of course, there should be grave req sons why cannot" he declared.
 Voice of Business
 He said he fully recognized that the Chambers of Commerce of the Territory are the authentic voice. of the business element of the Territory They are activated by intelligent selfishness, with the emphasis on intelligent. I want you to tell me what you want done, and if it is within my power, and except for grave personal req sons which I do not expect to hap pen, I shall get it for you," he said.
 lie urged the Chamber to con- municate it's wants for local needs and it's views on matters of Terri torial-wide interest to him while he is here, and to keep him in- formed at all times He said he planned to remain here until Sat- urday or Sunday then proceed to Ketchikan to confer with seiners, trollers and others.
 Tells of Trip
 He referred briefly to his recent visits to other sections, comment jLg on conditions existing and pro- posed plans for improvement. In the lower Kuskokwim River, he said, residents ought to be per- mitted to do commercial fishing, for the purpose of canning king salmon. The outlook there, he declared, is not promising due to the scarcity of and low prices for fur. If they were permitted to do limited fishing, the financial returns would relieve the situa- tion materially.
 He advocated extending com mercial fishing. now permitted at the mouth of the Yukon River, to as far upstream as Andreaf- sky, adding he believed this could be done by regulation without the necessity of making an amend ment to the Alaska Fisheries law

Ground Hog Auers Spring Is / Not Far OH-Yes?

Cheer up!
 Spring is just around the corner if that old yarn about the Ground Hog works out. Even if the little fellow could burrow his way through about two feet of snow today there would be no danger of the sunshine making it possible for his shadow to scare him.
 The rumOr is, you know, that if the Ground Hog comes out of his hole on February 2 and sees his own shadow it frightens him and he returns to stay for another six weeks, delaying the coming of Spring just that long. But today he will look out upon the win triest scene that Juneau has had all winter. So we can expect Spring soon CD.

Mutual Aid Gives
 Reasons For ''Cut"
Dwindling Balances, Cited-Shorter Day for Workers
 Red Proposals to Be Considered Monday

ing Nov 14. 1892, contributions in tho amount of $S,913.79 were received while. during the week ending Feb "a. contributions in the amount of $7,41381 were received During this period. the expenses of tho Mutual Aid fund have been very high duo to the necessity for the purchase of fuel and clothing Fuel costs for the winter season have been in excesse of fifteen thousand dollars and there has been a large expense for clothing. Some weeks clothing costs havo been as high as $1.578.68. During this period, the number of those dependent upon the Mutual Aid for support has been steadily increas- ing. On Nov IA. there were 2,O27 families who were dependent upon the Mutual Air for support and on Feb 20. tho Mutual Aid had 2,435 families on It's list with 40 cases approved but not yet obtaining re- lief.
 "Theso figures make it clear that the weekly disbursements of the Mutual Aid committee must be reduced. In studying the situntion, tho committee took into considern- ton the complaints that had been received from many contributors to the Mutual Aid fund.
 It has been stated by largo number of contributors that their weekly wage was less than the amount received by workers on the Mutual Aid payroll for n similar number of days per week.
 "The weekly amount received by families who obtain. tho maximum relief from tho Mutual Aid has been SC per week plus relief in tho form of food, clothing and fuel in excess of $10 per week.
 Tt was felt by the committee that 1t would be advisable to TO- duce the amount received weekly by the smaller families rather than to make q cut covering all those upon the list.
 "Thc proposed plan provides for the pay rate 10 $2 per day rather than g as formerly paid. The days worked after March 1 will consist of eight hours rather than nine hours.
 "One day a week work will bo given to families of two or three. Families of four or five will receive $4 n week for two days work and families of six or over will receive SC per week for three days work. which is the same amount as previously received.
 "Thc man who hns n family of six wall now work 24 hours per week to receive SC whereas previ- ously he had worked IS hours in order to receive the same amount. As q result of this new plan. there will be n substantial saving to the committee. which is estimated to be about $500 per week"
