Washington, u. S. A.

Not much concern is felt at the Dis
trict Building over the demand of the
Pacific Northwest Tourist Association
that the Commissioners give "immedi-
ate attention" to changing the name of
the National Capital to avoid confusion
with the State of Washington. Indeed,
the Commissioners acted rather promptly
and instructed the secretary politely to
inform the proteSters that the problem
would better be solved by changing the
name of the State. No effort will be
made to accommodate those who may
be confused.
This brings to mind an authentic
anecdote regarding an experience OF a
resident Of the District of Columbia
who was visiting England some years
ago and who engaged a guide to show
him some of the sights of London. The
guide became chatty and finally asked:
What part of the States do you come
from?" From Washington" replied the
visitor. "AoWh," exclaimed the guide, do
you happen to know man there named
Johnson?" "Yes, know several of that
name In what part of Washington
does this johnson live?" He lives,
believe in a place called Seattle was
the reply.
Then ensued a brief lesson in geog-
raphy and nomenclature. The visitor
pointed out that there were no less than
fifty Washingtons in the United States,
one city or town of that name in each of
the forty-eight States, the State of
Washington and finally, though firstly,
the Capital City itself. The guide po-
litely accepted this explanation, but with
evidence of some ncredulity-especially
when he was told that the Capital City
was about four thousand miles distant
from the Washington where Mr.. johnson
liyed-and closed the episode with the
remark that it was rather confusing"
Well, it may be confusing, but there
is no help for it. The Capital City was
named Washington, in honor OF the
first President, whose decision fixed the
seat of government upon the banks OF
the Potomac River near Georgetown
which had been named after a King
of England. The decision as to the
name of the future capital was made by
the Commissioners designated by Con-
gress to establish the Federal Capital.
hot doniciny1 in q Ipt~
ter written September 9, 1871, to Maj.
L'Enfant, the French engineer who had
been chosen to prepare plan for the
future Federal metropolis. They said
that they had agreed that the District
should be called The Territory of Co.
lulnbia' and the Federal city THE City
of Washington That name was for
mally adopted in May, 1900, in an act
of Congress.
The State of Washington, which had
been organized and accepted as Ter
ritory in November 1853, was given
statehood November II, 1889, eighty
nine and half years after Congress
thus formally and finally designated the
seat of government as Washington, Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t may be doubted
whether there will ever be a change, in
the designation of either the Capital or
the State. But if one must be made.
to prevent confusion-perhaps to avoid
the predicament of tourists getting lost
on their way to one or the other-it must
be made out on the Western Coast.

Brings a birthday celebration;
On July the Fourth we glory
In the Constitutions story.
Presently we'll have Thanksgiving,

Classic Quotations.

"In the discussion of classic quota
tion," said Senator Sorghum, "a slight
inaccuracy should cause no disturbance
to the mind of a statesman, secure in
the graces of personal cordiality, let the
ghost writer say what he will. The i'm
mortal Dogberry spoke with eternal sig
niflcance when he said, To be well
favored is the gift of fortune, but writ
ing and reading comes by nature"

The Loud Speaker.

The Loud Speaker.
Each has to heed some masters call
AS well as we are able.
One day you're in the banquet hall
The next at servants table.
On each the radio will attend
If you eat husks or pheasant,
We hope our friend will condescend
To tell us something pleasant.
On planes that fell, on shot and shell,
And what goes rhyming with 'em
Persistently your accents dwell
In melancholy rhythm.
Your music sinful grows, though sly,
Such is the style at present.
We're hoping still that by and by
You'll tell us something pleasant.

decisions.
That raises the question: What ac-
tually is the appraisal OF impartial
authorities on the probable outcome of
the coming test of New Deal laws? APP
praisals involve guesswork, but the best
judgment obtainable in Washington
seems to be as follows:
Processing taxes, on which the main
New Deal farm program is built: Two
to one that they will be upheld out
right, or overruled on some basis that
can be remedied by Congress.
Bankhead taxes, involving a tax to
compel farmers to abide by Federal
control of cotton marketing: Five to
one that they will be held illegal. If so,
then compulsory tobacco control and
compulsory potato control would fall,
too. Few New Deal tears would be shed.
Guffey plan, involving tax to control
marketing of coal: Five to one that it
will be held illegal on the same basis as
the Bankhead act.
Pay roll taxes, providing the basis for
unemployment insurance and old-age
insurance: Two to one that they will
be upheld, or overruled in way that
will permit congressional remedy.

flee during a time when the tax
rolls were being made up. This
caused great inconvenience to the
public, MacKinnon argued and he
also brought out that the financial
condition of the district was thrown
into confusion.
In answer to this. Harry w. Hor-
ton, chief counsel for the irrigation
district stated that if there should
exist any Generalization of service
to the public in the present irriga-
ton district setup it is because of
the stand taken by Miss Barry and
McIver in refusing to give up their
offices to holders OF election certi-
ficateS.
Asserts Guards Posted
Horton then outlined the situation
since March Is. He stated that
armed guards had been posted in the
office of the assessor r-collector and
thai records had been carted away
in a truck from that office. Other
records were locked in vaults and
kept there The situation became SO
unbearable. he stated that 10 of the
deputies became tired OF the existing
"horSeplay" and, desirous Of doing
some work, made these desires
known to officials of the district
with the result that they were
deputized by Bratton after which
they were refused admission to the
office wherein the work could be
.1one.
There were no attempts at viol-
ence by either Hatch or Bratton
during the entire procedure, Hor-
ton stated and everything they did
was in a peaceful and orderly man.
ner. Horton then read from sew
eral cases which showed that the
courts upheld the holders of elec-
ton certificates during the pen
dency of litigation concerning the
legality OF the election.
References to guards and carting
away of records was denied by Mac
Kinnon asking that such be en-
bodied in an affidavit to be filed
by defendants in answer to the af-
fidavit set up by the plaintiffs pre-
vious to the action.
