HEARINGS NE AR
END FOR D. c.

District Government officials
are expected to complete their
testimony before the Senate Dis
trict Appropriations subcommit-
tee today, and representatives Of
civic and business groups are
scheduled to present their pro
posals next week.
Senator Elmer Thomas (D0 OF
Oklahoma, chairman Of the sub
committee, outlined this program
today, expressing the hope that
the bill can be laid before the
Senate in about a week.
Probably the most important
witness to be heard by the sub
committee, either today or at the
conclusion Of the hearings, is
William P. Richards. District AS
SCISSOR, who will submit data rel
ative to the local fiscal set-up
requested by Senator Thomas.
One Of the studies Mr.. Rich
ards will submit will be a COM
parison Of the methods Of as
sessing property here and in
other cities. Another will be a
report on the value Of the Federal
property in the District which Is
nonproductive of revenue to this
municipality.
This information, it is believed,
will strengthen the case Of the
District in seeking to get at least
the budget recommendation OF
q Federal lump sum contribution
of $5,7O0,O00.

nFFATLTING NATIONS

It is predicted at Washington that
there will be a general. disposition
on the part of the nations that owe
war debts TO the United States gov
ernment, TO default on, the. payments
due June 18th. The American peo-
pie think it would be far better pol
icy for these nations to pay up. How
ever, if they do not see fit to do so,
it does not accomplish much to
make up faces at them.
These nations have been our best
customers in the past, and we still
depend on them to buy our goods
The salesman who gets out of breath
denouncing his customers because
they don't pay up, will not probably
get any more orders from them
right off. Some day Uncle Sam will
probably say to those folks. How
much cash will you give me to set
tie up and call it square?"

GETTING THE BIG SHOTS

Crime moves in groups. One
crime leads to another When some
big and sensational deed of outlaw
~ is committed. a hundred imita-
tors copy it,
For instance. it would seem that
the kidnapping of little June Robles
at Tucson. Arizona, might have been
one thing that led a few days later
to the abduction of William Gettle
at Arcadia, California. When men
get away with one of these start
ling deeds. and escape detection for
time. it encourages other mis-
creants of the same type.
1t is very important. when some
big and sensational criminal deed is
pulled of. to capture the perpetra-
tors of such an act at the earliest
possible date. A successful capture
of one of the big shots leads thon-
sand little shots to conclude that
the game is risky.
II is about like a move in war to
strike at the general of an army
If the armies that were fighting Ma
poleon Bonaparte in the great wars
in which he overran all Europe. had
been able to capture him at an early
stage of the game. most of those
wars would never have occurred.
The removal of that one presence
would have taken the courage out
of his followers. and they would
have fought with so little life that
they would soon have been over
thrown.
Many of the big shots of the Grim
inal world are now right where they |
belong. either dead or lodged in some |
good Jail But the Federal govern
ment and other authorities will |
have to keep right after the many
who are left If they can get doz-
en- who are still loose. many of their
imitators would subside. Instead
of planning some stunt that should
shock a nation. they would become
little pick-pockets and small sneaks
again.

TRIAL AND ERROR

The United States government. in
its efforts to produce complete in
dustrial recovery. is said to be pro-
ceeding on the trial and error
plan. How far is that good plan
ming?
There are two ways of carrying on
any kind of activity The first is to
continue along the good old way
that has been tried and tested a
thousand times before. You can
tell fairly well what that way will
do. Many farmers always farmed
on that plan. Their grandfathers
raised their potatoes and their wheat
in a certain way. They felt fairly
sure of getting crops under that
plan. So they went ahead and did
things in the grandfatherly way.
and usually got something of a
crop.
But the grandfatherly way is slow
for these times The agricultural
scientists and the more progressive
farmers felt that the crops could be
greatly increased by the use of mod
ern machinery and methods So
they began trying out different ideas
of production.
Many Of these new ideas proved
erroneous When such an error was
made. that idea was abandoned. and
they tried something else, until they
found something that would work
and get the results desired. That is
the trial and error" method. In
time it produces Improvements. 1t
has been the means by which all
The industries of the country have
been revolutionized.

hat we can't make living in the
Meantime The farmer who kept
rying new methods with all his
rops. would make so many mistakes
hat he would not raise enough to
eed his family. The trial and err

LIVES OF HAZARD

How little the world realizes what
tolls and risks are every day being
assumed for its benefit, This
thought was suggested in reading
how the lightship Nantucket. of
Nantucket island. had been cut in
two by the great steamship Olympic.
and seven men of the heroic little
vessel were without warning sent
to the bottom of the sea.
This little beacon ship had stood
in its exposed position amid storm
and fog. TO pilot vessels across the
mighty ocean. Right in the path of
giant liners. it might be run into
on any thick night Yet these men
faced that possibility with calm
hearts. In thousands of other oc-
cupations also, men and women take
the chances of a sudden summons
to the unknown. The world is full
of unappreciated heroism.

@BE 1T EVER, so HUMBLE"

How people do clint to their home
spots! How they do refuse to bt
removed from these familiar haunts
even when they 6hkAt to move!
BE it ever SO humble. there's nc
place like home."",4 81.
The Federal aoyernment has been
formulating a great plan by which
lit was expected that 100000 fami-
lies would be moved out of their
present situations, where their
means of livelihood have disappeared
or become very meager. and would
be helped to find homes under more
favorable conditions.
But it appears that these folks are
not so keen about changing even into
a more favorable environment. They
would rather stay on some almost
hopeless farm or in some languish-
ing town. than move away from their
friends and neighbors into some
place they never heard of. Young
and ambitious or restless people may
go. but it will be human nature for
the rest of them to fight it ont where
they are.
This is like the feeling that pre-
walls in dreary city slums. The con-
ditions in those swarming hives of
humanity may seem wretched. but
usually those folks would not move
out into healthful country locations
among total strangers. They cling
to the home spot. however forlorn
il may be.
This clinging TO an almost hope
less situation may not be called a
desirable trait. People who wish
to advance must be willing to walk
through doors of opportunity. Yet
if It was not for that affection for
the home scene. the country would
be full of tramps and vagrants. This
love for home is fine sentiment. II
people can be helped TO find new

TOLLS OF THE GARDENER

Wonder how many of those folks
who last February studied the seed
catalogs with such delight. and an
ticipated the colorful flowers and
fat vegetables they were going to
raise. have actually planted garden
beds? Or how many of them will
stick it out through the hot weather.

THE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT

The development of a town de-
pends on the quality of its indus
trial product. Whatever it is max
ing. the sale of its products depends
on the reputation it gets If it has
a reputation for producing good
stuff. people return to buy there. If
the things it sells are poor or in
different. they try something else.
We all help make that reputation,
directly or indirectly. The workman
who slips inferior work through his
machine. the farmer who thinks that
the poor fruit at the bottom of the
box will not be noticed. help give
that town a black eye. But the one
who is just as careful with the in
thing as with the thing
that is in full view. helps create
fame which will last for a genera
tion.

LIQUOR AND TAXES

The government may take steps
during the present session OF Con-
gress, to reduce the taxes on liquor,
according to certain reports at
Washington. However people may
feel about the fiercely discussed
questions of liquor, 1t is generally
agreed that very large trade in
bootleg stun is still being conduct
ed. High taxes on legal liquor make
it possible for the bootlegger to
thrive.
The person who is not interested
in liquor and cares nothing for it,
does not see the things that are GO
ing on under his not very inquisi-
tive nose. He discerns the results
when he sees some pitiful drunk
staggering along the walk. But the
many trucks operating in the dark
ness of night, the confidential call
of the bOotlegger on his customers,
the constant soliciting of business in
quiet whispers. the furtive slipping
of handsome fees to police officers
in many cities, these things are not
done in any noisy way, and are not
obvious.
Producers of legal liquor. it is
claimed. will be able to reduce
prices before long. which should
help drive out the bootleg trade. But
Uncle Sam apparently handed Mr..
a handsome present.
when he decided to place high
taxes on the new legalized trade.
The American people will never
be able TO exterminate bootlegging
wholly. but if they load tax after
tax on such a product. it simply en-
courages illegal dealers. That trade
has spent vast sums for corrupt pur-
poses. and il has given many young
men the idea that you can make
money faster by breaking the law
than by obeying it. 1t is about time |
to take some drastic steps to show |
hem that that idea will not be toll !

HIGH HEELS

heels. said a speaker at an osteo-

for years young women. and many
older ones, have kept demanding
shoes of that type. believing they
become more beautiful when thus
adorned.
Nature made the human foot
somewhat near fiat, indicating that
both heel and toe were intended to
rest firmly on the ground. Elevating
the rear end of the foot seems con-
trary to Nature. and Nature infiicts
a penalty on those who violate her

ARE THE SOLDIERS FORGOTTEN

The feeling is often expressed by
the men who served in the nations
wars, as they pay honors on Me-
mortal day to their former comrades
who have passed on. that the ser
vices rendered by the defenders OF
the country are largely forgotten.
They see the world hurrying by on
Decoration day to holiday doings,
and they say the nation has no
thought for those who protected It
in time of danger.
When the World War soldiers left
for the army camps. the cheering
crowds said nothing would ever be
too good for them. But now that
they are back. and controversies
constantly arise over veterans al
lowances and bonuses, it is said that
sacred pledge is dishonored.
Years ago the Memorial day exer-
cises for the soldiers of the Civil
War were crowded, and people
flocked to hear the orators expound
the lessons of the day. They would
overflow the cemeteries, shedding
tears as the veterans placed their
roses over the dear boys who had
fallen in battle.
But now too frequently those
gatherings are apt to be thin and
struggling. while the cheering throng
is bowling over the motor roads.
anxious to get to the nearest sport
ing resort.
These appearances. however. are
superficial. The questions that have
arisen as to the compensation of
the soldiers are unfortunate. hut,
they represent honest differences of
opinion. In the heart of the people
is very deep sentiment of respect
and admiration for those who have
stood up in their manhood. and
backed a great patriotic cause with
their life blood. They occupy
unique place in the nations heart.
and will never be forgotten.

LAW DEFEATS UNDERWORLD

A very useful lesson has been
taught to the dirty underworld, in
the failure of the kidnappers of Will
liam Gettle and little June Robles.
to obtain the booty over which they
gloated in prospect. The swift retri-
button by which three men are land
ed in California prison for life
terms in the Gettle case. will lead
many such smart guys to stop and
think, if their too speedy brains are
capable of real thinking. And when
the kidnappers of poor little June
were driven away from the Arizona
scene of their cruel deed, the ex-
treme hazard of this brutal game
was again demonstrated.
The best thing any would-be kid
napper can do is to commit suicide.
before he attempts anything that
will lead to such certain retribution!
