Soaking the City

committee of District officials appointed by the Com
mssioners to study new and additional taxes for the
city, expects to get down to its job tomorrow
The committee has interesting land threatcning)
collection of taxes under consideration and Wu
for SOAKING THE CITY.
While this committee is studying new tax proposals
and while other District officials defending estimates
of more than fifty million dollars for the next fiscal
year the poor citizen can reflect that THERE IS NO
COMMITTEE, OFFICIAL OR OTHERWISE, WHICH
IS STUDYING MEANS OF BRINGING DOWN THE
HIGH COST OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Since 1922 the cost of in the District of
Columbia has DOUBLED.
The burden of the cost of that government the ct
zen of the District has than doubled for while
the actual expenditures doubling the Federal Gov
ernment has REDUCED BY TWOTHIRDs its share
of the cost of maintaining the National Capital.
Local citizens have had make good that failure Of
the Federal Government
Possibly this tremendous increase in the cost of the
local government be justified and POSSIBLY the
proposed tax increases can be Justified
Yet the population of the District has not doubled in
the last thirteen years and population increases are
fairly good standard of increases in the cost of govern
ment.
Is the city getting twice much benefit from its
local government as it was getting in 1922?
That is highly doubtful
And if the city isn't getting the benefit of these in
creased expenditures where is the money going?
We think it is time that the District Building gave
the taxpayers break.
That break should come from committee of C1T1-
ZENS, not officials, who would make detailed and
thorough study of the local and It's exped
lures with view to TIGHTENING UP ALL ALONG
THE LINE.
committee of citizens finds that the increases Wlch
hove taken place in expenditures and those
uUhch is proposed to make justified then the Com
ssoners committee of officials expect to get some
support for increased tax proposals.
BUT UNTIL SUCH A SHOWING IS MADE BY
PERSONS NOT OFFICIALLY CONNECTED WITH
THE DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, OUR CITIZENS
SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO PAY ADDI-
TIONAL TAXES

true that women do Jump at
conclusions" and often land
correctly but there's nothing
supernatural in the process.
It's an exhibition of gambling
nerve and Nothing Else But.
And it's as dangerous to trust
such catch-as-catch-can guesses
for guidance in serious living as
it would be to follow a will-o'-
the-wisp over quicksand.
But even though man may
admit this, when cornered,
sooner or later his old awe for
women'S strange, psychic power
will return. Actually, he's
tricked by his own lack Of i'm
agination. Since the human an
imal first gathered into tribes
men have been trained to con-
form to mass law. to follow
mass precedent in their manner
Of thinking. But women-iso-
lated in their own family circles
have played a lone hand.
Made laws for themselves
each woman devising her own
technique and procedure.
SHELL GAME
All men think alike. They
may not share the same ideas
but they approach those ideas
in the same way.
But each woman thinks
WHAT and AS she pleases. So
where a man follows logical
and traditional steps in reach.
ing a conclusion, a woman
takes short cuts, detours, gets
there any way she can. And
by the very Swiftness and un-
conventionality Of her perform
ance, leaves the man dazed.
1t never occurs to the man
that he might do exactly the
same thing himself, if he had
as little regard for procedure.
Nor does he dream of judging
the woman's performance as he
would judge similar perform
ance in a man and reject it
because Of its obvious unrelia-
bility. The entire proceeding is
so foreign to his training that
he simply des that
Woman is a unique phenom-
enon with extraordinary tai
ents beyond masculine compre-
henSion.
So the shell game continues
to the great satisfaction of the
Ladies. But I suspect we're
kidding ourselves, sisters. It's
a good graft, but it can't pos
sibly last forever. And dis
tasteful as the process may
seem, a little real study and
honest reasoning would buy us
far more in the end than all
this mumbo-jumbo.

Republican, of Nebraska yesterday
called for a "fair test" of a single
suit in the Supreme Court, declaring
the Government lacked the legal ma
chinery to meet all challenges.
The veteran Senator charged power

to "paralyze" Federal legal forces. He
said more than 80 suits against the

in the lower courts.

Urging administration lawyers to

The Senator apparently was una
ware when he wrote his statement
that the Government had acted Sat-
urday along the lines he suggested.
In urging such action, Norris said:
"Any proposal to test the act in

Y II AIRY F. SAUNDERS, District
II horseshoe champion, went to
work on his game today with
Il new vigor. He will be called
upon to defend the title next week and
Harry is not in the best of form. This
he showed last night in an exhibition
match at Brentwood with Temple
FARRELL, newly crowned king of Mary
land horseshoe flippers.
Saunders was beaten, 52-25, 1880,
51-25, but even had he been in top
fettle he might have Jared little better,
for FARRELL tossed ringers with con-
siStency seldom witnessed hereabout.
For the three games his average was
81 per cent. Saunders was So, well
below his capability.
FARRELL ran out the last game with
16 consecutive ringers. He had sew
eral streaks in the other skirmisnes
of half a dozen or more. Saunders
best stretch was seven, in the second
game.
Same Old Henson.
TN ANOTHER exhibition, Clayton
Henson of Arlington, Va, Metro
politan District champion, defeated
Bill Moore of Washington. 52-37, 81
40. This was brilliantly contested
affair, with Henson averaging 63 per
cent ringers and Moore 81.
In the second game Henson threw
IA straight winners, eight of which
were topped by Moore. The sturdy
young Virginian clinched the match
with six 3-pointers in row.
Tonight, on George Thompson's
courts at Falls Church, the Virginia
section of The Evening Star tourna-
ment will be held, starting at 7:30
O'Clock. Deadpan Raymond Frye of
Orkney Springs is an odds-on choice
to retain the championship he won
with a sensational flock of ringers
last year.
Frye, according to reports from Ork-
ney Springs, is pitching even better
than in 1884. A while back, it is
said, he twirled more than 90 ringers
in a 100-shoe test. Deadpan will be
about the whole show in the Virginia
tournament. There is no pitcher in
the Old Dominion aside from Henson
who can give him serious competition,
and Henson, as Metropolitan cham
pion, is not eligible for State play.
He will remain on the sidelines until
the metropolitan play-offs, which will
bring together with him the five lead
ing performers of the Maryland,
Washington and Virginia events.
This battle will take place next
week, following the Washington tour
nament which will open Monday.
