 The population along the route continues to work in the fields ap- parently concerned.
 In the new era occupied, politi- cal officers already have begun re- organization of the territory. They are announcing the abolition of slavery and taxation to the populace.
 25 Miles in One Day
 Before the rain, it was learned today, the column of General Ales- sandro Pirizio-Biroli, consisting of the native Askari troops, of whom he is supreme commander, made 8 remarkable one day march of 25 miles on 8 mountainous trail.
 It was Boroli's column that en- tered Hauzien, the only town of any moment in the path of the army. Biroli received local dignitaries and clergy. The clergy performed re- ligious dances. BiroI assured the visitors that Italy brings civiliza- tion, not destruction.

GREAT JASPER IS
 SELF-MADE MAN
Struggling Young Roofer of B Years Ago, Has
 Become Leader
RY WILLIAM D. CLARK

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Nov. 6-(UP)- Socialism stepped out of the cradle and experimental stage in this lead ing industrial city today as an en- thusiastic populace hailed "The Great Jasper" as "the greatest may or we ever had"
 Thirty-f1ve years ago when Jas per McLevy, a struggling young roofer formed the party with five others, and boiled 88 votes in his first bid for political recognition sympathetic friends advised him to ''throw away the soap box and come along with the regulars"
 Everybody knows you're honest, Jasper, and would make a good mayor, but you'll never get any, where with that crowd" they told him.
 But year after year he was a can- didate, either for mayor, governor selectman of congress. He toted his soapbox all over the state. but the results always were the same-that is, until two years ago.
 Tired of Old Parties
 The voters, tired of both demo- cratic and republican wasteful ad- ministrations, began to think per haps there was something to Nc Levy's arguments about business administration after all and elected him by landslide vote. He was as much surprised as his opponents He had made a lot of tempting promises and was determined tt carry them to fulfillment.

 The Philadelphia result MT. Roosevelt was understood to look upon as a technical" victory for party, inasmuch as the democratic mayoralty candidate was defeated by only 47,O0O votes. Tn 1892 MT. Roosevelt lost Philadelphia by more than 100000 votes.
 Some Research Work
 To support their arguments, pres idential friends did some research work on past performances both in New York state and Pennsylvania.
 They cited that in 1928, when MT. Roosevelt won his first term as gov- ernor by a 25,00O vote margin, the democratic assembly plurality was but 5000. Two years later, they said, the democratic assembly plur- ality had advanced to slightly un- der a half a million. It was virtually sustained in 1891, 1892 and 1883, was slightly larger in the landslide year of 1884 and appears to be nearly 600,000 this year.
 In general, the president was rep resented as feeling the election

Bridgeport, Conn, Nov. 6-(UP)- Bridgeport returned its first socialist mayor to office yesterday with twice the plurality he obtained in 1883 and busted four democratic city councilmen to make the council solidly socialist.
 The victorious mayor is Jasper McLevy, hard-jawed, 57-year-old roofer who has been a candidate on the socialist ticket for mayor or governor at almost every election since 1903. His plurality in 1883 over two opponents was 6,070, his plural ity yesterday was 13,904.

BY PAUL H. KING

United Press Staff Correspondent Albany, N. Y, Nov. 6-(UP) = New York republicans hailed their assembly victory today as repudia- tion of the New Deal that will lead to defeat of President Roosevelt for reelection in 1886.

 Thus. the two parties emerged from the bitter off-year election still locked in an unprecedented fight to place nationally important New York in their despective coll umns in the presidential balloting a year hence.

Next Tuesday will be Constitution day,
and the people of Washington might
observe the occasion by making a pill
grimage to the Library Of Congress to
view the immortal document itself, en-

National Legislature. Thousands Of men
and women, boys and girls, it is true,
already have inspected the basic law of
the land in its physical aspect of written
parchment, but a much larger number,
it may be supposed, never have treated
themselves to that experience. The
value, however, of any such contact
with history requires no argument.
knowledge of the past is a form of
power which every citizen should have

Wants Something Done
About Abused Horses

To the Editor of The Star:
I want to thank you for supporting
the Animal Rescue League through your
contribution to the Community Chest.
To illustrate what some people who
do not live in the District think of
animal" conditions here. will quote
one of the letters which was received a
day or two ago from Mr.. William L.
Jackson Of Hartford, Conn:
During recent visit to your city
was shocked to see frequently saddle
horses, numbering about dozen, ridden
by Negro women and men, early and
late, going through the streets in q con-
dition which is disgrace and shame.
They were nothing but skin and bones
and must be starving. It is no credit
to your city or your organization and
should be stopped. Many times the poor
beasts were wet and lathered from be-
ing raced by their riders. They were
going morning and night in the vicinity
where I stopped-namely, near WASH
ington Circle and Twenty-first street"
In answering Mr.. JackSon's letter I
told him that we are doing everything
in our power to get these poor old horses
of the streets and that should ike to
see an adequate law enacted that would
prevent such horses from being driven
on the streets, but that the people in
voteless Washington have no represent
tation in Congress and are dependent
on the men from the States to make
their laws, and whether they like them
or not they must accept them.
If possible I should like to have this
eentleman's letter given publicity. as
think many people would be glad to aid

Fears New Buses
Are Worse Than Cars
To Tn. Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
According to a recent article pub
lished in The Star, the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association is apprehensive as
to the quality of the bus service which
the Capital Transit Co. proposes to fur
niSh in place of the present car service.
The action of the association is timely
in view Of the short time left to con-
slider the matter.
Foresight is much more effective than
hind sight and any action taken must
of necessity be taken before the change
is made. It is quite unlikely that after
the rails are removed from the street
they will be replaced and car service
restored, regardless of how unsatisfac-
tory the busses prove to be.
During the recent hot weather the
writer had occasion to try out the So
called de luxe 20-cent bus service, which
operates between the downtown business
section and Chevy Chase. The decided
lack of ventilation made the interior OF
the bus uncomfortably warm and the
sickening odor Of gas fumes added to
the discomfort. The ventilation was
entirely inadequate. Compared with
the old street cars, should say that
the buses have from third to hall
the window opening of the cars and
the cars have no gas fumes to aSSail
the passengers and driver alike at every
stop.
If these buses are fair sample Of
what Is to be expected and if this serv-
ice is the much touted improvement,
representing the latest progress in trans
rnrt afinr then the writer does not
know the meaning of the words prog
ress and improvement. In all fairness,
it must be said that the conditions
noted are not confined to the Capital
Transit buses, for the large buses
everywhere have generally the same
difficulties.
I feel sure If President Hanna, his
oficials and Board Of Directors and the
North American crowd had to ride the
buses daily, as we Chevy Chase folks
will have to do If the change goes
through, the appeal of the bus would be
considerably lessened.
As a longtime resident Of Washing
ton, I personally feel that President
Hanna is too good a transportation
executive to believe in the change him.
self, which many of us feel Is being
forced over by the holding company.
II the Chevy Chase and Connecticut
avenue folks are forced to accept the
buses, and I am afraid they will be
unless the citizens associations con-
cerned take action before it is too late,
the blame for the inferior transporta-
ton service contemplated will rest
squarely on the shoulders Of not only
the dilatory citizens associations but
also upon the District Commissioners
and peoples counsel. who are paid to
look after the interests Of the people.

Annual reports of the collector of
internal revenue provide the effective
rejoinder to attacks by unfriendly men,
pers of Congress on the lump-sum
appropriation for the District. The ira
ditional form of such attacks is to treat
the lump sum as a gratuity wrung from
the hard-preSsed voting constituents
back home, and from this point to argue
for its reduction or elimination. Unin-
formed readers of the Record might form
the opinion that the people of the Dis
trict pay neither local nor Federal taxes.
but are supported as pampered wards
of the National Government.
AS a matter of fact, local residents
now pay about eighty-hve per cent of
National Capital maintenance and de-
yelopment expenses through their local
taxes. To the remaining fifteen per cent
they contribute heavily as national tax
payers. How heavily they contribute is
indicated by the report of the collector
of internal revenue for the fiscal year,
1885, just released. which shows the Dis
trict paid $12,638,14467 during that
period in internal revenue taxes-a little
more when processing taxes are included.
Comparison of the District payments
with similar payments made by the
States shows the District paying more
than any one of twenty-three States
Alabama, Arizona. Arkansas, Colorado,
Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia
and Wyoming.
The Districts payment exceeded the
combined payments of nine StateS-Ari-
iona, Idaho, Mississippi, Nevada. New
Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Vermont and wyoming. The Districts
payment was over fifteen times that of
North Dakota, twelve times that of New
Mexico. ten times of Idaho, nine times
each of Arizona, South Dakota and
Wyoming; eight times that Of Vermont,
six times that of Mississippi and Nevada;
four times that of Arkansas and Utah,
three times that of Montana and New
Hampshire, two and onehalf times that
of South Carolina, twice the payments
of Alabama, Maine and Oregon, one-half
greater than Nebraska and onefourth
greater than Kansas and West Virginia.
When the agricultural adjustment
taxes are included the comparison
shows only a slight change. In this
set-up the District ranks thirtyfirst
among the States, with the District pay
ment exceeding that of any one of
eighteen States. Here the payments of
the District exceeded by million and a
half the combined payments of seven
States.
The District is far more substantial
contributor to the lump sum, or other
Federal expenditures than are many Of
the States; matter which is emphasized
not in the spirit of slurring these States,
but in defense of the District against
malicious criticism as a tax dodger.
These States all have representation in
the Government which taxes them. The
taxpaying District has none.

Suggests Dumfries, Va,
As Site for AbbatOir
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star.
Citizens of Alexandria view with
justifable alarm the project for estab-
fishing an abbatoir and huge packing
plant within the city limits. and utiliz-
ing for this purpose the port of Alex
andria, the fate of which has been I'M
decided for almost a century.
This proposition is short-sighted and
does not allow for the development, now
well under way, of the scenic and his
toric possibilities of the Mount Vernon
Boulevard, and the preservation OF me-
MORALS dear to the heart of the Amer
lean people. Neither does 1t allow Tor
the expansion of greater Washington,
in opening the door to vast project
which must cumber the Potomac with
shipping, pollute its waters and increase
traffic dangers in Alexandria by the
increased numbers of trains which
might use the open railroad crossings
to the south and north Of the city.
Below Washington on the Maryland
side of the river is an undeveloped sec
ton, which could be connected by a
railroad bridge with the Virginia shore,
which below Mount Vernon is equally
undeveloped. Any one who has visited
a wilderness, is impressed by the pos
sibilities of this region. 1t might be
practical by retaining the wide extent
of marsh land to develop the natural
harbor which exists here and make Of
it a site for such vast project as that
contemplated. The railroad to Fred
ericksburg and Richmond runs directly
through this country. There are also
possibilities in the development Of the
Occoquan River, the muddy waters OF
which would not be sullied by the opera
tons necessary to the maintenance OF
an abbatoir.
Such development as this would en-
tail the employment of hundreds Of men,
and the Government might well take
a hand in it. 1t is hardly as consider
able as the Tennessee Valley project
and would open to development wide
extent of country and further the in
dustrial development Of Virginia.

When q statesman hits q state OF in

There's no limit to his bitterness of

And for reasons not exactly up to date
He'll endeavor to revive some ugly story
From a Jungle where the vegetation's

And perhaps he'll do the trick
With a gesture that is quick

It's to punish mortal sin that he's pre-

To gather tanks and shells in his

He grows more garrulous concerning

Made of concrete rhetoric
