SCORES ESTIMATES
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
6anatorium Committee Head Hits
$131 500 Figure in 1884
Budget.

Asserting the $13l,5 estimates ir
the 1884 budget for operation of the
Adult tuberculosis Hospital allows less
than $1.70 per patient per day, Mrs
Ernest r. Grant, chairman of the Tu-
berculosis Children's Sanatorium Com
mittee, last night said that such an In
stitution that attempts to run on even
$3.50 day for each patient "is in i'm
minent danger of mourning public
criticism and even a public scandal
The accepted minimum standard, she
said, Is 50 per patient per day.
The estimates transmitted to Con-
gress by. the Budget Bureau represent
q reduction Of $16,050 and are "too low
for safety" Mrs. Grant said.
"The original estimates which were
presented before the last session of
Congress, but failed of passage" Mrs.
Grant said in statement, "totaled
$147,050. These estimates had the ap-
proval of the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia, the Board of Pub
lie Welfare and the local budget bu-
reau. The present recommended
amount of $131 500 should be increased
to provide for at least one hospital bed
for every reported death from tubercu-
losis, which would mean 500 beds in
a municipal hospital where there are
at present little over 200 beds"
Continuing, Mrs. Grants statement
said it Is estimated that for each death
from tuberculosis, there are nine in
fected persons.
Mrs. Grant also condemned the re-
duction of the original item of $50 900
for equipping the Children's Sanatorium
to $45,000, pointing out that the first
hgures were based on present-day low
cred prices

Better Taxation
District Bill Improved

The elimination the pending District appropriation
bill of the provision prohibiting reduction in the tax rate
should make scientific budgetng of the city
penses.
Inasmuch the restriction stricken from the bill OH
point of order it is clearly indicated that hereafter
similar provision will be carried in the measure.
In view of the basic law the subject which requires
The District Commissioners establish tax rate which will
yield sufficient to meet the appropriations this is
altogether proper.
One effect of the action of the House in striking the pro-
vision will be to terminate the ping in the Federal
treasury of unneeded surpluses.
It is quite that the District should maintain cash
balance in order conduct its affairs in proper order but
there is sound for imposing heavy taxes simply
10 accumulate millions of dollars (which cannot be wisely and
iudciousy expended.
That however what has happened in the past simply
because Congress arbitrary tax rate and then forbade
the Commissioners using their judgment and the discretion
allowed them in basic law to reduce that rate to the point
where would yield enough for without imposing
unnecessary burden the people,
Now that the basic law to be followed the Commissioners
will be enabled study the appropriations decided by
Congress for the District take into consideration the amount
be paid by the Federal Government and then work out
tax rate which will meet the situation.

WISE WORDS

The truest mark Of being
born with great qualities is
being born without envy.
It is more easy to become
acquainted with men in gen.
eral than with any man in
particular.
We should not judge of a
mans merit by his good quail
ties, but by the use he can
make of them.
We should desire few things
ardently if we had a perfect
knowledge of what we were
desiring.
Fortune and humor govern
the world.
We endeavor to make a merit
Of faults that we are unwilling
to correct.
Old fools are more foolish
than young ones.
Weakness is more opposed to
virtue than is vice.
There is an excess Of good
and evil which passes our SEN
Sibility.
Smiles are the language Of
love. Douglas.
