Instead of calling it District ap-

should be called the District tax bill.
The motive which prompted the ma

in preparing the bill primarily was a
reduction in taxes. That might be a

not coupled with a curtailment in the
program of municipal improvements. 4"

Otter made particular reference to
cuts in the appropriations sought for

Board and the electrical department.
He said the reductions in the original

such inferences. The most cordial
and friendly relations have existed at
all times, without a single exception" !"
The grand jury's report follows:
Memorandum for the United States
Attorney:
1--WE. the grand jurors in and for
the District of Columbia, beg leave
to report to you that by a majority
vote we have determined not to indict
any one in connection with the al
legged Irregularities in the War De-
partment.
"InaSmuch as this was an original
proceeding, not coming up from the
Police Court or the United States
commissioners Office, it is unnecessary
for US to make return to the court
and we are therefore making a report
to you.
Conclusions Submitted,
"The grand jury also wishes to SUBJ
NIT to you for transmission to the
President and the Secretary of War.
If you so desire, the following con-
clusions reached by them from the
testimony adduced, namely:
"Dissension between the General
Staff and the Assistant Secretary of
War. the blame being attributable to
both.
The pernicious practice of persons
holding themselves out as lawyers,
selling or attempting to sell their al
legged influence with War De-
partment officials).
The equally pernicious practice OF
persons and corporations employing
such persons for their alleged infiu-
ence.
Inconsistency in the quartermaster
generals office as to prices in respect
to the sale Of surplus property.
THE reprehensible conduct of q
large motor manufacturer In the max
ing Of a contingent contract provid-
ing for the payment Of a contingent
commission to a person not then a
member of this bar. for alleged serv-
ices in securing an award by the War
Department on contracts which could
be awarded to the lowest bidder only.
Continuation Of practice exist
ing in the War Department for sew
eral years and partly responsible for
this condition of negotiating the sale
Of surplus property instead of ad-
vertising and selling to the highest
bidder.
Correction Is Desired.
I'VE suggest the transmission of
this report to the President and the
Secretary of War because we wish to
see corrective administrative action
taken TO the end that the condition
which gave rise to this investigation
may be eliminated and in the hope
that affirmative action may be taken
by Congress, if necessary, to prevent
political lawyers from presenting
claims for clients to the friends Of
such lawyers in high public Office
LAS part Of one branch of the
Government, We hope that we are
within our province in making these
suggestions to another branch of the
Government to the end that the fruits
of our lengthy and exhaustive in
vestigation may not be lost.
The grand jury also wish to state
that the evidence submitted by As
sistant United States Attorneys David
A. Pine and Charles B. Murray was
presented in a most unbiased and able
manner, and We wish to thank them
for the fair way in which all of the
evidence was presented.

Z Last year." Blanton declared, the
Appropriations Committee proposed
in behalf of the home-owners of the
District a reduction in the tax rate
and the Commissioners went up in
the air and said it couldn't be done.
Nevertheless, the assessment on tax
able property was reduced by $50, ,000,-
900, the tax rate was cut from S1.70
, to $150 and the District has a pros
pect of accumulating surplus in un-
obligated tax revenues in the coming
fiscal year amounting to more than
$5,000,000."
Blanton also criticized Otter for
announcing that he proposed to raise
a point of order against the legiSla-
. tive provision in the bill making man
datory reduction of 80 cents in the
tax levy in the coming fiscal year.
The Texan said Otter should have
raised the point OF order in the COM
mittee.
Il am not here to defend the Public
Utilities Commission" said Otter. Il
hold no brief for the commission. I
contend the commission should be a
protecting agency for the consuming
public. And still for operation of this
organization for the protection of the
consuming public, a cut of 43 per
cent has been made in its estimates
for personnel. in the coming fiscal
year"
Blanton told Otter that he would
be willing to agree to removal OF the
legislative rider providing a manda-
tory reduction in the tax rate If he
would agree to a reduction in the
Federal contribution to the expenses
of the District in the coming fiscal
year.
In reply, Otter said: THAT would
be a hazardous thing to do. There
are certain municipal Improvements
necessary which a reduction in the
Federal contribution would make i'm
Apossible."

SILVER ADVOCATES.
MEET ROOSEVELT.
King Leads Group to Can
vass Situation and Reach
Compromise.
BY the Associated Press.


Congress put one of its most con-
troversial issues-silver-up to Presi-
dent Roosevelt today and arranged
for a conference tomorrow on labor.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah,
headed a group to argue for silver. He
was hopeful of White House favor.
Others invited by the President to
discuss the silver question included
Senators Thomas, Oklahoma; Adams,
Colorado; Pittman, Nevada; Harrison,
Mississippi; Wheeler, Montana, and
McCarran, Nevada, all Democrats;
Borah, Republican, of Idaho, and
Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, of Mime
sofa.
Mr.. Roosevelt also called in Sec
retary oMrgenthau, Gov. Black of the
Federal Reserve Board and Herman
Oliphant, special counsel of the Treas
ury.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, Of New
York, had planned to take to the
White House today his measure to
create Supreme Court for labor and
forbid employer dominated company
unions. At the last minute, however,
the meeting had to be postponed be-
cause of heavy White House Sched-
ule.
Johnson to Attend.
4, Wagner expressed confidence of
presidential support.
The Wagner bill is to be the subject
of a round table conference between
the President, Hugh S. johnson, his
recovery administrator; Donald Rich
berg, N. r. A. counsel; Secretary
Perkins and the New York Senator.
Wagner concededly is in concilia-
tory mood. He has said he is willing
to make any concession in the Ian
guage of his proposal that would not
interfere with the objective to pre-
vent company dominated unions" and
the creation of permanent Labor
Board with power to carry out its
findings.
He emphasized that all he wanted
was to reserve the freedom of the
worker" and insisted that even under
its present wording the bill would
permit company unions that were not
company dominated.
Silver Agreement Seen.
Senator King indicated his dele
cation would not ask for any par
ticular measure, but would seek to
canvass the situation with the
President, point out the various meas
ures pending and try to find a COM
mon ground
Meanwhile, proponents of other con-
troverted measures awaited their turn
at the White House.
Among them were Senator Glass,
Democrat. of Virginia, and Reserve
Board Gov. Black, seeking the Presi-
dents ear for final approval of their
plan for loans to industry.
Their proposal would permit the
reserve banks to make dve-year loans
to industry from a fund of $500 000,-
900, half Of which would be furnished
by the Treasury and half by the re-
serve system.
Mr.. Roosevelt also will be asked
shortly to decide whether he wants
the Government to undertake help
financially distressed public schools.

When these boys get back to Wall
Street, there will be something doing
They are the most ferocious of all the
bulls and bears. Their comrades in
margins call them "Peck's Bad Boys
and "the Gold Dust Twins" They
won the latter title by betting right
when we went off the gold standard.
At least, they received inner acclaim
for having bet right, although no one
ever knows exactly where they stand,
or even where they are.
Know Right People.
They bob up in more unexpected
places than Mrs. Roosevelt. They
managed somehow to get on the in
augural train from New York to WASH
ington. They even managed to get
a business appointment at the White
House executive Offices on one occa-
sion. They carry an air Of knowing at
least a few of the right people.
The only trouble about their re-
. turn is that no one can tell
whether the market 1DiH 90 up or

sides of the Street tUtth equal
success.
A slick scheme for boiling down the
veterans lists by publicity heat is
under serious consideration by those
here with authority to carry out their
ideas.
They would post the name Of every
veteran on the rolls in the post office
of the city in which he resides. The
amount received by each veteran and
the reasons therefore would be posted
alongside his name.
In that way. each community would
be able to judge for itself whether its
veterans were legitinlately entitled to
their disability and presumptive al
lowances. ..
Withdrawals Seen.
Sponsors Of the plan believe it would
result in Is to Is per cent of volun-
tary Withdrawals from the rolls.
The plan probably would be put into
operation in a minute if it were not
for Congress.
l., Just now. the administration Is
trying to quiet doUn the wild
horses on the hill. 1t does not
1uant to do anything Utich could
be considered direct d6ront after
the overriding OF the Presidents
Ueto on ueterdns' reStor1tionS.
There is no real basis for objection
to the scheme, however, and It un-
doubtedly will be put into operation
sooner or later, either after Congress
goes home or after the next elections.
AS matters now stand, the Veterans
Administration keeps its rolls to itself.
1t will answer specific inquiries as to
whether a certain person is en- the
rolls, but it does not like to.
