Paying for the Capital
The Nation Must Help

AS the Commissioners prepare 10 go De1oTe
of the Budget Justify the preliminary budget which
they have compiled for the fiscal year 1886 it becomes
apparent that the entire stability of that budget depends
upon the acceptance of the principle it enuncates OF in
creasng the appropriated to the National Capital
by the Federal Government.
UNLESS THAT PRINCIPLE IS ACCEPTED BY
THE BUREAU OF THE BUDGET AND LATER BY
THE CONGRESS THE ENTIRE BUDGET AS SUB
MITTED WILL COLLAPSE AND WILL HAVE TO BE
RECONSTRUCTED UPON AN ENTIRELY DIFFER
ENT BASIS.
It behooves residents of the city therefore to give the
deepest consideration possible to the problem and to the
facts upon which the Commissioners rely to sustain their
position.
1t would be well also for citizens to consider the
fact that unless the Commissioners able to maintain
the theory upon which they base their claim the tax
payers of the community going to be hit awful
blow in the region of the pocketbook.
SUCH LOCAL TAX INCREASE AS WOULD BE
NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE NATIONAL CAPI-
tai WITH SUCH AN INADEQUATE FEDERAL AP-
PROPRIATION AS HAS BEEN CARRIED IN THE
LAST TWO DISTRICT BILLS MIGHT WELL PROVE
DISASTROUS TO THE EFFORTS WHICH THE CITY
IS MAKING TO RECOVER FROM THE ECONOMIC
DEPRESSION.

of tax revenue the effect will be the upon
everyone in the city.
Increased real estate taxes will have to be paid not
only by the owner OF realty but by those who rent homes
rooms, offices.
Should any of the taxes which are being discussed
be imposed whether it be increased gas tax an income
tax any other the cost of those taxes will be borne
proportionately by everyone in the city.
While our residents recovering from the depres
sion have not yet reached complete recovery Just
now the bulk of ctizeny being crushed between
Increased cost of living and stationary incomes
They could not therefore, without increasing distress
meet any additional tax burden
THE COMMISSIONERS IN SEEKING AN TN

Six Ways to Mans Heart

Six Ways to Mans Heart
The most amusing thing in
the world is to hear a group OF
men discussing the qualities
which they admire most in
women. One man will cham
pion red hair, while another will
rhapsodize over the charms of
a fulsome figure or come-hither
eyes or cuddlesome ways. Or
even intelligence!
But, while all these superb
cial attractions may help, not
one of them can be classed
among the important qualities
which all men admire in women.
There are certain characteris-
tics, which have nothing to do
with a woman coloring, her fig
ure or even her mental attain
ments. She may be blonde or
brunette. plain or beautiful,
Is or 40; but if she possesses
all of these, she will still be at
tractive to men.
First, all men admire
woman with poise. BY "poise."

ROAD BUILDERS
WILL MEET HERE
Highway Groups to Discuss
Need of Larger Program
for Country.

The 1885 convention and highway
exhibit of the American Road Build
ers' Association will be held January
s.ll at the Willard Hotel.
The meeting, to be attended by 5000
representatives from all parts of the
country, will be held here next year,
due to the efforts of Capt. Herbert
c. Whitehurst, president of the or
ganization and director of highways
Of the District.
Subjects to be discussed will be the
need of an adequate highway program
based upon securing financial aid
through Federal and State sources,
giving special attention to the use of
highway revenues for highway pur-
poses, and principally the non-diver-
sion of the gasoline taxes and motor
license revenues for purposes other
than highway construction and main
tenance.
I'm the past few years the diver
sion of highway revenues has reached
alarming proportions and threatens to
stagnate highway construction and
maintenance, which in turn will re-
suit in a serious impediment to
progress in our transportation sys-
tenn. More than 500, ZOO, 900 of gaso-
line taxes were diverted in 1888 and
1t is estimated that another $780,
O0o, 900 was lost by evasion" states
Capt. whitehurst. 1.-THE backbone of
the highway construction for the next
few years will depend upon Federal
and State appropriations, and the
method of extending recently passed
Federal legislation into the many
States will be given careful conSid-
Grafton"
This convention and exhibit is held
of particular interest because high
way construction has had such an
important part in the national re-
covery program. 1t is recognized as a
capital investment and Is an activity
which puts more men to work in a
shorter time than any other. The
convention will bring together thou
sands Of the leading highway oficisls,
engineers, contractors, equipment dis
tributors, producers and manufactur-
ers from all parts of the country for
the purpose Of discussing ways and
means of continuing an adequate
highway program.
A number of prominent men who
are playing an important part In the
continuation of the highway pro-
gram will take part in the conven-
ton proceedings. At the annual ban
uuet the future outline of the Federal
and State highway program will be
presented by a speaker of national rep
utation, it is announced.
The divisions of the American Road
Builders Association which will meet
at the time of the convention are
county highway officials, city officials,
contractors, highway equipment and
manufacturers, and the engineers and
officials, the latter membership in
cluding representatives from more
than 40 State highway departments.
