j. s. SHARE ASKED
FORD.C. SUBWAYS|
Columbia Heights Citizens
Adopt Resolution Seek
ing Survey Funds.

subways to take the place of street
ears, with the Federal Government
sharing part Of the cost of them,
were advocated last night by Peo-
pies Counsel William A. Roberts in a
talk before the Columbia Heights Citi-
zens' Association meeting in the
Fourth Presbyterian Church.
Roberts pointed out that the Fed
eral Government was partially re-
sponsible for the need OF subWays
because of its interests here. He
urged that Congress pass a statutory
law for the District requiring the
street cars to be off the streets within
Q given number of years.
Don't let any one say the District
can't afford the cost of subways," he
declared. "You can't afford to be
without a subway, regardless of the
cost"
Suggests "Duckunders."
The first probable steps in obtain
ing subways. he said, would be to
rid the congestion points first by the
underground system. For instance,
he said, "duckunders" could be placed
at Thomas and Dupont Circles. re-
lieving crowded conditions at these
points during rush hours.
Speaking of the taXicab situation.
Roberts said the District now has
about $500 cabs. Seventy per cent of
the vehicles moving in the downtown
congested area are taxis, he declared,
and figures show 10 per cent of these
are empty. This applied especially
to Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets,
north from Pennsylvania avenue.
Figures supplied him by Washing
tons largest cab company show they
had 100000 less telephone calls in
1884 than the previous year, indicat-
ing people ere getting cabs by the
pickup system" The. same cab
company has increased its number of
taxis over that period, Roberts said.
Roberts said the taxicab problem
here was one he could offer no solution
for.
Asks Survey Of Subways.
The association voted to favor Rob-
erts' suggestion for subways and
adopted a motion requesting Congress
to appropriate sum for an engineer
ing survey toward this end.
DR.. Erwin Steinman, chairman of
the associations General Welfare
Committee, attacked the regulation
prohibiting parking from 2 to am.
on certain streets, declaring that al
though this was for the purpose Of
removing snow, it was not done. He
further declared the regulation cover
ing the cleaning of snow off sidewalks
by the citizens should be enforced.
Opposition to the burning of soft
coal and low grade oil in the District
because it endangered the health Of
the citizens was expressed in a reso-
luton adopted.

COTTON PRICES
FALL SLOWLY

After the initial squirt on heavy
buying growing out Of further
war activities, the cotton market
turned gradually lower and an
hour later was showing net losses
running to 35 cents a bale in the
July contract as heavy profit
taking, increased hedge selling
and lower Liverpool cables COM
bined to depress prices. Demand
tapered off. Foreign sources and
the trade were still the principal
buyers with other domestic inter
eSts growing wary Of the market
as q consequence Of its sharp rise
and the doubts as to the exact
meaning Of the war to cotton. In
addition to the trade, Liverpool,
Wall Street and the Far East were
buyers and there was some short
covering although SgS began to
decrease. The South, spot houses,
the Southwest, New Orleans were
sellers and locals and commission
houses also began to liquidate.

quoted at 11.04, off @; March ia,

ment should been hssed by those who believe IN our
constitutional form of government
In science "static" means equilibrium balance Of
forces according to laws The New Dealers do not
believe that laws exist They believe that economic
life like game of football and that they do anything
they want to, regardless of law.
This is what the President by saying Government
Is not static.
Again in one sentence the President asserted his pro
found" belief in things: ~ in the capacities Of nd
vdual and women and (2) in the effectiveness OF
people helping one another
Now if you will think minute you will that these two
things very different and often in conflict with
another If you believe that individuals have great capacities
you should believe that they pretty we'll take of them
selves But you believe in their Government helping them
you should have doubts about how much capacity each has to
take of himself.
think that what the President really believes is that the
Federal Government should he individuals And as prac
tca matter down to Government interference with
business and taxes to pay doles.
So when Mr. Roosevelt made this statement
the audience should have asked which he really
meant and he meant that people to help another by
paying taxes to support Government boondogglng.
Another thing he said which good but does not
stand up when you think about it. is that everybody who
can't find useful work is entitled to Government relief
(0f course, that means work relief
In the first place. what does he by useful work?
Do you think that any and all work is useful7 Or do you
think that work should pay?
Can afford pay regular wages people who can't find
work? Where is all the money to come from? Who pays2
One Of the worst of the Socialists slogans is he right to
work" Under the nation people to expect the Govern
ment to them the sort Of pleasant occupation they want
when and where they want and at good regardless of
their products.
We have to support the needy But we don't have to
money disrupt the regular business of produc
tion in order to do that.
Speaking of waste note that the President announced
that will build better future for the children of days
to come"
Now just think Days don't have children It is and
womenyou and Lwho have children. They Of u.s. And
it you and who have support them. That that

OPPORTUNITY GIVES AN
EXTRA KNOCK

Opportunity is reported to only
knock a traditional three times at our
doors, but it seems to be giving an
extra tap to the doors of the litter
ates in the United States through the
literacy program which is being
worked through the Emergency Re-
lief.
Hundreds of men and women all
over our land had opportunities to
learn to read and write when they
were small, but failed to take advant-
age of them. Many others, actually
failed to be near any school, or to
have any opportunity to learn to read
or write. In each case, it is often
heard, eff I could only have chance
to try it over aagin."
The government is spending thou
sands of dollars sending teachers out
to teach these adult illiterates to read
and to write a reasonably legible
hand. Imagine being able to write our
names if heretofore we have always
had to make our mark and ask that
someone else write our name over it.
Or, if we pass signs on the road and
can't read them, or if we have to sit
and hold our hands while our friends
read books, newspapers, and the
Bible.
Where there is will there is al
ways a way with the majority of
things, and if our adult illiterates are
at all concerned about improving
themselves so that they can not only
keep up with what is going on around
them but can enable themselves to
enjoy living more fully, there is yet
a chanc, if the will take it.

CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS

Anent the discussion about con-
stitutional amendment to make the
old instrument more flexible, it is
we'll to reflect on the unpopularity Of
some of the amendments heretofore
adopted. The Constitution has been
amenedd only six times since the
War Between the States, and there
are those who declare some plaus-
Utility that some of these amendments
could easily have been dispensed with.
The sixteenth amendment "consti-
tutionalizes" the income tax, and this
is the one with the most friends; the
seventeenth had to do with the popu-
lar election of senaotrs, which may or
may not have been a mistake; the
eighteenth provided national prohibi-
tion which didn't prohibit; the nine
teenth brought woman suffrage,
which was not so bad; the twentieth
changed the Inauguration date from
March a to January list, of not very
great Importance, one way or the
other; then twentyAfirst provided for
the repeal Of prohibition, which is de-
batable at most.
Because of the time that would be
required to amend the constitution,
this effort would be useless in the
present emergency, and as was the
case with North Carolina recently
there wuold be those who prefer to
go on as is, in the thought perhaps
that there will never be another test
ingtime-not another emergency.
It is well to have a balance wheel
to assist in even driving power; it is
safest to have a governor on an en-
CINE that might run away with itself
but it is always necessary that both
be built in conformity with the i'm
mediate machinery, which certainly is
not the case with either the national
Constitution or our own state instru-
ment. Both were constructed on the
basis of conditions of yesteryear, and
neither can measure the needs of to-
day.-The Elkin Tribune.

SALES TAX BEGINS TO
REALLY BITE

The Skyland Post, in the past, has
been on the side of the sales tax be-
cause it seemed to be one of the fair
est way out Of a bad situation, but
the new laws passed by the last legis-
lature begin to bite with sharpness
that makes US begin to take water
on our old position.
When everything is taxed-with
milk only excepted-we are in a sad
state Of affairs.
One of the hardest ways the new
tax will hit us in Ashe county is
through our boarding houses and
hotels. There are few methods by
which we can make any money in
this section, but we have been able to
pocket some spending money from
taking in boarders. Now it is found
that hotels and boarding houses must
pay a tax for permission to operate
and then add three cents to every
meal they serve, regardless of wheth-
er the boarder is permanent or tran
silent, or whether the meal costs rs
cents or dollar. Of course, the pro-
prietor is supposed to pass the tax
on to his boarder, but it seems lit
tie too thick to charge him a tax on
everything he buys to put on the
table, then charge the boarder with
another tax for eating it, and then
charge tax for running the place!
. If this is not double and triple tax
alton, then what have we?
The sales tax has ceased to be a
fair method of taxation when it takes
basic necessities off Of the untaxable
list and slaps tax on them, and then
adds tax to tax.
