The Young Taxpayers.

The President gave a pleasant ver-
sion of the fundamental changes in
American life and thought which have
taken place between the years 1882, B.R.,
and 1895. AR, in addressing the Young
Democrats and the Old Scoundrels on
Saturday night.
But there are always two sides to
every story. And in the course of his
speech against the rivers and harbors
bill Friday night Senator Tydings of
Maryland gave what might be consid-
cred the other side of the story. A
meaty portion of it follows:
1.-THE whole tendency today is not to
be self-reliant. If man gets into trou-
BILE he wants bill passed. If group
gets into trouble it wants a bill passed.
People want it paid out of the public
treasury. Oh, it is all right when it
is going out. Then everybody is for it.
While the money ds being handed out
nobody must protest. But wait until
nay day comes-and it will come, Sen
ators-and we shall squirm here in our
seats, not wanting to vote for this tax

High tribute to faithful and efficient
service was paid by President Roosevelt
several days ago when he authorized the
continuance in Office for further period,
not to exceed five years, of Wilbur j.
Carr, Assistant Secretary OF State. AS
chairman of the Board of Foreign Serv-
ice Personnel, and also of the Board of
Examiners for the Foreign Service, Mr.
Carr doubtless has wider acquaintance
with the members of that service than
any other Government official. During
his more than 40 years in the Depart
ment of State his interest has been man
ifeSted on numerous occasions in all
that pertains to the welfare Of this Gov
ernment's representation abroad and OF
those who serve it.
President Roosevelt'S smiling inquiry
Of the congressional group gathered
about his desk the other day as he was
about to sign the banking bill, when he
asked whether any one there had read
it, might be applied to many other meas
ures adopted by Congress. So lengthy
and complicated are many Of them that
they are read in their entirety by very
few members of the legislative body
which adopts them outside of the chair
man and members of the committees in
charge of them.
At various times the suggestion has
been made, either in humorous or Seri-
Gus vein, that people should subscribe
to the Congressional Record. The sug-
gestions, however, are not reported as
having ever Swamped the Government
Printing Office with new orders. 1t has
even been proposed that illustrations
might be used to brighten up" the pages
of this daily congressional report. Oc-
casionally, however, the subscriber to
this publication would feel himself well
repaid One such instance was fur
nished by the filibustering speech OF Sem
ator Tydings of Maryland last Friday
evening on the river and harbor, or

sarcastic vein, this speech was punctu-
ated throughout with laughter"

FiascO.

The adjournment fiasco on Capitol
Hill Saturday night was a comedy of
administration errors. The first misstep
was made when the President and his
A. A. A. organization announced last
Thursday that the cotton loans would
be reduced from twelve to nine cents a
pound. There seems to be no vital
reason why this announcement should
have been made on Thursday. Had it
been delayed until today, Congress would,
beyond the shadow of doubt, have ad-
journed Saturday night. The announce
ment of the cotton loan last year was
not made until August 27
The President, by this premature an
nouncement, made possible the legisla-
tive jam which prevented adjournment.
The Democratic Senate and House ad-
miniStration leaders slipped, however,
after they had placed the deficiency ap-
preparation bill, with its obnoxious cot
ton and wheat loan amendments, in
what seemed to be a straitjacket. Had
motion been made in the Senate to
reconsider the vote by which the ad-
journment resolution was passed
promptly after its passage, and that
motion been Immediately laid on the
table, the hands of the cotton and wheat
Senators would have been tied. Moth
ing could have halted the adjournment,
so far as the Senate was concerned. Or,
when the Senate reconvened after its
recess Saturday night with only two
and a half hours to 60 until midnight
and automatic adjournment, had one
or two strong-lunged Senators taken the
floor and debated" until midnight, ad-
journment would have followed. In the
House. the leadership seemed in a posi-
tion to prevent consideration Of the Sen
ate request for a return of the adjourn
ment resolution by the simple method of
not permitting it to come up. There was
a lack of iron somewhere.
Log-rolling in Congress is as old as
Congress itself 1t is merely the game

expense of the public generally. The
Senators representing the cotton States
of the South and the wheat States of
the West, with borderliners thrown in,
took an opportunity to make major
raid They wrote into the deficiency
appropriation bill legislation which
would assure loans by the Government
to the Gotten and wheat farmers. The
wheat farmers have had no such loan
privileges in the past. But the cotton
Senators had to have the aid OF some
one to put over their loan legislation.
It was natural that they should tempt
the wheat Senators. The proposed loans
may mean another billion-dollar drain
on the taxpayers.
Speaking out of turn is getting to be
a habit with the administration. Had
the President withheld his now famous
share the wealth" tax measure to Con-
gress the joint resolution extending GER
tain excise taxes for another year would
have been disposed of and the progress
sive bloc in the Senate could not have
forced his hand and compelled addi-
tional tax legislation at this session. And
Congress would have been away from
Washington.

the law of diminishing returns eventu-
ally will bring less money into the
Government by way of confiscation, If
it is necessary, than income taxes would
bring in if the principal on which. the
income is predicated is not diminished.
Oh, we will squirm here. And am not
going to vote for the tax bill when 1t
comes up, either. I do not feel called
upon to vote for it. I have not voted for
these large appropriations, and I do
not feel called upon to tax the people.

thirteen-acre tract, already contracted
for or acquired. The total development
will house some 1881 families, and the
projected cost per room, which is to
cover all services, such as heat and light
and carrying charges, will be six dollars
a month. Whether the housing can be
provided on the scale contemplated and
at that price is one thing. The Selec-
ton of the tenants, at that or some
other rate, is another. 1t is to be
doubted that many of Washingtons real
"alley dwellers" would prove themselves
financially or socially desirable tenants
for the Governments model communi-
ties. The idea has been, however, that
as the Government tenants took posses
sion of the new homes they would
vacate dwellings of lower standard which
would, in turn, become available to those
now housed, for want of better places
to live, in the alley shacks. The whole
effort, in other words, will be to raise
the standard of low-cost housing; not
merely through the provision of Gov
ernment development, but by enlarging
the supply and lessening the demand
for private low-cost housing.
1t is gratifying that Secretary 1ckes
has decided to make the low-coSt home
demonstration on such generous scale
in Washington. The undertaking should
not be viewed with hostility merely as
denoting Government competition with
private builders, but in the broader
light of demonstrating the possibilities
of good and attractive housing for
low-income group of tenants who other
wise have had to take what was left.
Anything tending to raise housing
standards is beneficial to the community.
The progress of new experiment here,
under the best of auspices, should be
watched sympathetically.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Caterpillars make the whole world
kin, evidently.
Since writing recently about gigantic
worm found on the rhododendrons, a
resplendent creature Of red, green,
yellow and blue, we have been deluged
with letters.
Almost every correspondent wants to
know what we did with the worm.
It will grow into beautiful butterfly,
says one; into beautiful moth, declares
another.
Having cats and tropical fishes, how
ever, we could not see adding to the
menagerie either butterfly or moth.
Hence we bottled the creature in an
old mayonnaise jar, bored few holes
in the lid, gave it few ''rhody" leaves
for sustenance, and put the whole In
the garage for the night.
BY morning the caterpillar had spun
himself a cocoon which filled the entire
jar.
Jar, cocoon and caterpillar therein
inclosed were delivered over to the trash
man, with instructions to bear them as
far away as possible.
That worthy assured us that he would
see personally to putting the outfit In
the fire on the dump.
Il \
These pre-cocoon stages OF butterfly
or moth life have great interest Tor all
persons interested in Nature.
The unfortunate thing is that the
worms are so intensely greedy.
The worm in question had consumed
As rhododendron leaves before we
found him.
At that rate he would have riddled the
prizes of the foundation planting over
night, for we were practically sure ne
had not been in the garden the evening
before.
The home gardener has neither the
time nor inclination to make an lnten-
sive study of all such creatures which In
the fullness of time find their way into
the yard.
The best he can do is to destroy them,
for the amount of food they demand Is
unbelievable.
N. A. w. Of Severna Park, Md, writes
as follows:
Your column of the 18th instant. If
you find out what to do with that
rhododendron worm. lemme know. MY
catalpa trees are loaded with them each

there isn't leaf left.
Cant knock the pests of, they hang
on tightly. Then most of them are out
of reach. This year I wound cloth
around the end of long pole, dipped 1t
in kerosene. lit it and sailed in.
Gave each a Scorching. Tedious work,
but saved half the leaves. That really
discourages them, but care must be taken
not to burn the leaves.
Here's an idea I was going to pass on
to Ritchie. Maybe you can hand it on
to Nice.
Make the first week in May officially
caterpillar week.
"I saw millions of nests, it seems,
neglected this year. They should be
burned out"
From the owners of one of Washing
toms fashionable private schools we re-
ceived the following:
In last Mondays Star we read your
description of very extraordinary
worm. and we thought you might be in
terested in nearly similar one we found
in 1921 on an elder bush in Falls
Church, Va.

the upper part of the body was green
and the underpart light blue, very deli

Low-COst Housing.

Because of the long delay and the
intervening period of mysterious silence
since Secretary Ickes, about two years
ago, tentatively announced that several
million dollars had been set aside for
low-cost model housing development in
Washington, the announcements OF
three such projects, involving an initial
expenditure of something more than
$8,000,000 have come with rather breath
taking suddenness. The Public Works
Administration is at last going to do
something about model housing, and do
it on an unexpectedly large scale. One
of the most interesting projects in the
country-involving three separate un-
dertakings-is planned for Washington.
Model housing development in Wash
ington has been popularly associated
with alley elimination, although the two
are not necessarily connected. But one
of the interesting features regarding the
Public Works Administration plan is
that the new developments are to be
carried out with some degree of co-ordi-
nation with the work of the District
Alley Authority. Mr.. John Ihlder, di-
recting the work of this agency, has
wisely established as basic policy that
no alley dwellings are to be eliminated
until housing is provided, in one way or
another, for the ousted occupants. And
discussion at the Housing Division of the
p. w. A. suggests that the new develop
ments planned for Washington will be
carried out with that thought in mind.
AS for the success of that part of
the scheme, only experience can tell.
The three projects for Washington pro-
vide for a 100000 development in
Southwest Washington for colored, pro-
viding sos housing units-at present tied
up in condemnation litigation which
may test the Governments authority to
proceed; a $3,500,000 development in
Anacostia, for white, providing 700 hous-
ing units on fifty-five acres of land.
which has been acquired: a $1,600,000
development on Benning road, for col
ored, providing 323 housing units On o
