Representative Norton Grows
In Her Washington Viewpoint.

IN her washington VIEWPOINT.
THE Citizens Forum Of Columbia
Heights at a recent meeting
approved a recommendation Of its
Executive Committee requesting
the appointment on the House
District Committee only those
Representatives who are familiar
with the living conditions and
problems Of large metropolitan
areas. Similar efforts have been
put forth in the past by other civic
bodies, which have included re-
quest that sympathetic souls be
named on the subcommittee on
District appropriations. The idea
has been to get on these commit
tees those whose contacts and ex-
perience have equipped them for
considering and passing on the
legislation for the operation and
maintenance Of great American
community with population
greater than number of the
sovereign States of the Union.
The popularity of the present
chairman Of the House District
Committee, Representative Mary
T. Norton of Jersey City, N. j., has
steadily grown with the civic
bodies of the District. And the
growth of her Washington view
point has more than kept pace
with her expanding popularity.
Her righteous indignation at the
selection Of an outsider to head
the District penal institutions,
civic leaders declare, would qualify
her to serve on q Committee on
Resolutions for the Society of Ma
tives Of the District Of the Associa-
ton Of Oldest Inhabitants.
She is quoted as saying, when
she learned Of this outside selec-
ton:
II cannot understand why our
local Government officials go out
of their way-to other cities-to
bring in men to occupy positions
which should go to the successful
and highly qualified men in the
District. I have always resented
this action as chairman of the
House District Committee

Appointments Announced.
THE judges of the District Su-

nounced the filling Of the four va.
cancies on the Board of Education.
Henry Gilligan and Mrs. Mary A.
O'Neill we're reappointed for three
year terms. Robert A. Maurer, ST.,
and Benjamin L. Gaskins were
named to I'LL the vacancies caused
by the designations Of DR.. Hay
den johnson and Charles Huston,
respectively.
The reappointments are gener-
ally approved, and it Is understood
that the new appointments will
meet with equal approval. The as
sociations seeking appointments
along sectional lines are disap-
pointed that their pleas for repre-
sentation went unheeded by the
appointing power.
Bob Maurer was one Of the most
popular and successful principals
that Central High School ever had
during its long life. He was
equally popular with teachers,
students and parents. During his
principalship school spirit reached
a high peak. Citizens particularly
interested in the schools believe his
understanding Of the school system
from his experience of teacher,
principal and parent-patron will
bring to the board qualities of dis
tinct value. Bob is a civic-minded
fellow and for several years has
been q member of the Citizens
Joint Committee on National Rep
resentation for the District of CO.

THERE has just come to light q
tribute to Representative Jen-
nings Randolph by a delegate
from the District of Columbia at
the convention of the General Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs in De-
troit. 1t was at the legislative
dinner and the delegate was Mrs.
Horace J. Phelps, chairman Of the
department of legislation Of the
District Federation Of Women's
Clubs. She had Just been telling
how the District is dependent upon
the voters in the States for the
members of its Legislature and
that sometimes those sent did
not Just measure up to the stan
dard the District desired and
actually required. Turning to the
women of the West Virginia
delegation, which included several
influential citizens Of that State,
she told them she wanted to thank
them on behalf of the people OF the
District for sending US Jennings
Randolph. She continued by tell
ing of his sympathetic interest in

residents Of the District Of Colum.

She also told them that Repre-
sentative Randolph is believer IN
and an ardent advocate Of ma
tional representation for the Dis
trict and never loses an opportunity
to give the cause boost. These
West Virginia women showed real
pleasure in hearing this tribute TO

Proposed Tax Legislation
To Await Next Session.

pROPOSED new taxes and modi-
fications of some OF the old
are expected to go over till the
next session Of Congress at the
request Of the District Commits
sioners. The civic bodies are in
clined to urge slow speed in the
making Of changes in taxation and
are very skeptical as to any pro-
posals to substitute one form of
tax for another. To many 1t is
impossible to forget the time when
the gasoline tax was to be substi-
tuted fol the personal and any
other tax on automobiles. The
gasoline tax became an additional
tax and the old taxes remained.
Many organizations have in
dorsed the estate or inheritance
tax with the idea of the District
getting the advantage obtained
by the States in receiving from the
United States 80 per cent of the
Federal inheritance tax collected
in the District. But there are
those who express the fear that If
the District Is given this benefit
it will be penalized by q further
reduction In the already inequita-
BILE share Of the expenses of the
National Capital borne by the Fed
eral Government.
A civic leader actively interested
in District affairs, but owning
property and living in Maryland,
is now doing what ne can to have
the District gasoline tax increased
to 8 cents. He points to the ex-
tensive road widening. paving and
the opening Of new streets which
such will make possible from the
proceeds Of such increase. He has,
however, entirely overlooked the
fact that Congress mas never per-
mitted the expenditure Of all the
money raised by the gasoline tax.
The delay in consideration of
these tax measures will afford the
civic organizations an opportunity
to study them and organize and
oppose them before both Commits
sioners and the District Commit
tees Of Congress.

While Washington was busy last
week entertaining delegates to con-
ventions, the staff of the Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee of the Wash
ington Board of Trade also was busy
striving to bring more national gath
erings to the city either in 1886 or
1887, and reports are that several
quests have been successful.
Thomas Lockard, q member Of the
committees convention staff, returned
last week from an extended trip to
Chicago, Detroit and Cincinnati,
where he invited national organiza-
tions to come to Washington.
In Chicago he contacted the Massa-
chuSetts Mutual Life Insurance Co.
and invited their egentS and officials
to come here next year. The conven-
ton city will not be chosen for sew
eral months yet, but Lockard said he
was assured the National Capital will
get either the 1886 or the 1888 con-
vention.
Two other large groups also re-
acted favorably to invitations extended
by Lockard, but final action on the
next convention city was deferred.
The Flavoring Extract Manufacturers
Association and the Baltimore and
Ohio Surgeons Association, both meet
ing in Chicago, are considering the
invitation.

BISHOP MAKES
PLEA AGAINST
BIRTH CONTROL

SEATTLE, July 3. U.P) - The
fate of the nation, domestic happi-
ress and permanence of civiliza-
tionS is at stake in the movement
to legalize birth control methods,
Bishop William j. Hafey, Raleigh,
N. c., told the National Catholic
Daughters of America convention
today.
He called on the 100000 men,
bers of the organization to keep up
vigorous fight against birth con-
troll advocates and the proposed
dissemination of birth control in
formation through the mails.
Bishop Hafey assailed stands of
the Federated Women's Clubs con-
Vention at Detroit and American
Association of University Women,
at Los Angeles, favoring legalizing
birth control information.
Decisions of these organizations,
if followed through and carried
out, soon would result in a child
less America" he declared. MANY
of the lost and forgotten races and
decadent nations of the world were
wiped out by birth control and
similar practices"

PRESIDENT IN
JOV|AL. MOOD
WITH SCR|BES

WASHINGTON, July 8. Up -
President Roosevelt turned to
poetry today to express his feeling
over the defeat of the death SEN
tence" clause in the public utilities
holding company bill.
To a room full of newspaper COR
respondents at the regular We'd
nesday press conference, Mr.. Roos-
evelt replied to question as to his
reaction to the defeat in the fol-
lowing words:
That I cannot tell said he,
but twas a famous victory"
That's from Old Caspar'," Mr..
Roosevelt said.
The poem dealt with the battle
of Blenheim.
Further than that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not go. Instead, he turned
the conference into what appeared
for moment to be an open forum
on the work-relief program.
The President was in a jovial
mood, He forced the perspiring
correspondents to listen to a long
list of projects that had been ap-
proved for Georgia and Alabama
to prove that all was not boon
doggling."
He reminded his audience to lei
him know when the got tired ano
after half page of recitals OF
what will be built in Georgia, Ala
bama and New York, there were
cries of enough" and stop" from
the rear ranks.
The President was asked whether
he would approve of persons or
work-relief projects seeking to be-
come members of the American
Federation of Labor. Observing
that that was a new one, he added
that, you know they don't have
to work if they don't want to-"
Several shot questions about
what was to be done in the differ
ent states. He replied that all
states were to get their share.
Mr.. Roosevelt pointed out that
arrangements had been completed
whereby projects over $25, 1000 would
fall within the public works cate
CORY, although depending, of
course, on the type. Under that, he
said, they would go to Harry Hop
kins.
