TAXATION.


TAxATION has become the most
important question before the
Nation today. The Public Lii
brary has many books on the
subject. A short list, selected from
the longer catalog, has been chosen to
arouse the interest of students and
others who may wish to read up on
the most vital economic problem of
our time.

HCAt54e
Currency, value and taxation are
integrally related, since currency is a
measure of value, and value is con-
sequence of effort, modified by the
cost of order; yet, today, the volume
of our currency is governed by small
and uncomfortable sum of gold; while
taxation is imposed upon effort, which
tends ultimately to diminish"

p UMORS Of the probability of the
Attorney General taking Cor
poration Counsel Prettyman into
the Department of Justice is not
a popular idea with either the
Commissioners or the civic lead
ers. Mr.. Prettyman has become
very popular member of the Dis
trict government family. His
popularity extends to the Capitol,
where he is generally popular with
the members of the District Com
mittees of both Senate and House
The many constructive matters
now being formulated by that en-
ergetic and able official would have
a decided setback in event of a
change. His contacts have been
so numerous with civic leaders that
he has an excellent idea as to their
views and desires upon many vital
questions.
The sentiment favoring the con-
tinuance of Mr.. Prettyman as cor
poration counsel seems to be wide
spread.

so choose.
West didn't know what to open. He
was afraid of diamonds-ace. ten in

he was afraid Of hearts, and he was
terrified of clubs. Therefore he
opened q trump. South won and set
about the business of stripping the
hand. One could never tell when a
throw-in might come in handy.
A heart was led from the board and
trumped. A diamond was played to
the ace and another heart led back.
South won by ruffing and played
spade to the jack in order to clear the
last heart from the North hand. The
play of the king and another diamond
(trumped by North) disposed Of the
diamond suit in both hands. The
stage was set.
South played the king Of clubs and
a small club. When East showed out,
he simply ducked the club into the
West hand with palpably fatal results
for the defending team. All of which
proves that too many precautions can
never be taken in the play Of q slam

in District legislation during

In District legislation during
the past week. The joint
- resolution authorizing the
the appropriation of District funds

and the operation of public con-
venience stations during the con-
vention Of the Improved and Be-
nevolent and Protective Order Of
Elks of the World, colored, to be
held in Washington August IS to
81, 1885, was adopted. The resolu-
ton fixes the amount for preserv-
ing order at $35, 900 and for public
stations at $4,000.
Bills authorizing members of the
Fire and Police Departments to live
outside Of the District also were
passed. This permission Is limited
to the metropolitan area, which, for
the purpose of these bills, is de-
fined to be within a 15-mile radius
of the Capitol Building. All men,
bers of these departments avail
ing themselves of the privilege are
required to have and maintain a
telephone at all times in their resi-
dence.
Of last weeks batch of bills be-
fore the Senate those of chief in
terest to the civic bodies were the
pending amendment to the public
utility law, which proposes to limit
the Jurisdiction of the District Su-
preme Court In appeals from deci-
sions of the commission, and the
bill requiring the building Of a
bridge and an underpass across the
terminal tracks and the authorize
ton to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Co. to construct a connection with
a commercial area.
The public utility bill went over
without prejudice at the request of
Senator La Toilette. The three rail-
road bills were passed.
The Senate divorce bill, which
had been amended by the House.
was held up for awhile. but the
Senate finally accepted the House
amendments and it has gone to the
President.
There Is no indication as to what
further matters of District legis-
lation will receive action by the
House. The rent-control bill is
promised to be brought up for con-
sideration next District day, if
there is such a day. Whether the
House District Committee will plan
to have other matters ready for
consideration If the rent bill again
encounters threatened opposition is
not known.
Approval Of the crime report has
opened the way for consideration of
the bill to tighten up the gambling
laws. Consideration and action on
this bill was promised by the chair
man of the subcommittee when the
crime report should be out of the
way. This legislation is recon-
mended by the crime report. which
was adopted by the full committee,
and there is in addition a wide
spread civic organization demand
for its passage.
The several local social security
bills continue to await agreement
on the national security measure.
Conferees' agreement on the Dis
trict of Columbia health item in
the second deficiency bill is the
source of rejoicing in civic circles.
The s45, 600 carried by the bill rep
resents the amount fixed by the
Senate less the amount required
for the expired month of July and

Divorcing d. C. From
Bureau of the Budget.

p EPORTED intention Of Mr.. Prst-
lyman, in drafting the amend
ment to the bill to enlarge the
powers of the Commissioners, to
include a provision requiring the
Bureau Of the Budget to advise the
Commissioners the amount Of the
Federal lump sum as preliminary
to the preparation OF the District
budget. Upon the completion of
the budget, based upon the known
amount of the share to be paid by
the United States. it would simply
be transmitted by the Budget Bu-
reau to Congress. This course
would take away from the staff of
that bureau the right of passing
upon the needs Of the District, with
which the Commissioners have a
far better understanding. A modi-
f1cation of procedure as indicated
would meet with a most enthu-
Siastic response from local leaders.
OF course, such change would
still leave unsettled the question
as to Just what Is the fair and
equitable share which the Federal
Government should pay toward
the maintenance and operation as
well as the expansion and b'autif1-
cation of its National Capital. For
years civic bodies have sought the
settlement of the annually recur-
ring controversy by the laying
down Of some definite formula
which in a purely businesslike and
scientific way would determine ex-
actly what would be the share of
each of the partners-the all
powerful and dominating partner
and the silent but heaviest-paying
partner.
Some are hopeful that should
this new Prettyman plan be en-
acted into law one Of these days
the Congress might be induced to
put aside some Of the antagonistic
feelings against the District and
set up an impartial tribunal. upon
which the voteless and unrepre-
sented citizens of the District are
represented, which will go thor
oughly into this matter and work
out businesslike solution Of this
long-standing problem.

Arlington County Progresses
Toward Sewage-Disposal Plant.

pLANS and specifications are re-
reported ready for the sewage
disposal plant for Arlington. If
approved. bids will be called for
and contracts awarded. They hope
to begin construction by the mid
die of September.
This plant will be located on
property already purchased on
Four-Mile Run and the cost of
the plant Is estimated to be about
$l50,000. The construction of
sewer mains is to go along. with
the sewage emptying into the river
until it can be routed through
the disposal plant.
The plans have been approved by
the State and Federal authorities
with the understanding that an
early start will be made.
THE Police Department promises
that the present strict traffic
enforcement is not merely a tenn
porary squirt, to be dropped after
the novelty wears of, but is to
be q part of the regular program.
Students of street trafic express
themselves as believing that the
rigid enforcement of the traffic
regulations without fear or favor
will. incidentally, have high edu-
cational effect both on the drivers
and those charged with the re-
sponsibility of enforcement. If
there are any impractical and
unnecessary laws governing traffic
and the use of the streets, it Is
claimed, such faults will sooner be
discovered through enforcement
than by their being ignored.
There are many congested points
where traffic lights or special
regulations should be put into
operation to reduce dangers as
well as to facilitate the movement
of traffic. Many have called at
tention to the need for some such
treatment at the intersection of
Michigan avenue and First street
northwest. Here there are stop
signs, but the driver who stops has
the greatest difficulty of ever get
ting the privilege of starting
through the intersection. The
traffic on Michigan avenue simply
will not let the trafflc from either
the Soldiers Home or First street
through. There are many periods
when the traf1c is very heavy at
p this point.
Several correspondents and call
ers have suggested traftic
light should be installed at this
point and express the belief that
it would completely solve this
problem. They even suggest that
If Mr.. Van Duzer is short of lights
he might take one from any num-
ber Of intersections where the need
Is not so great.

Need for Court Building
Shown By Pictures of Crowds.

10y VI StVNocs
KILLING two birds with one stone
~ is the effect of the pictures
which Judge Schuldt permitted to
be taken of the crowds daily at the
Police Court for traffic violations.
It is understood that it was the
idea of the Judge in granting per-
mission to the press photographers
to photograph these days Of big
business at the Police Court. to
have the pictures serve as a sort
of horrible example to the violator
of the law.
1t now develops that the result
ing pictures tell very graphically
the need for new quarters for the
Police Court. OF this need and
the need for the other court build
ings, as well as quarters for the
recorder of deeds, Congress was
we'll convinced when it authorized
the Commissioners to borrow P. W.
A. funds for the erection of these
buildings on Judiciary Square.
Civic leaders have been keenly
disappointed at the declination Of
Secretary Ickes to allot the amount
requested for the erection of these
buildings, which are so badly needed,
In this connection it is pointed
out that much of the money which
would be expended for these prof.
ects would go for material. which
would help the labor situation in
a number of the States from which
the material would come. Some of
these leaders feel that if the Sec
retary fully realized the difficulty
of the District of Columbia in get
ting from Congress the authorize
ton of this loan he would be i'm
pressed overwhelmingly with the
worthiness of the projects.
