Canvass Shows Strength,
Leaders Claim Issue
Is Secondary.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

what the Republican party needs
is not so much an issue as a man."
So one of the most astute Republic
an Senators summed up the political
situation from the G. o. P. stand
point today.
A canvass Of Republicans shows
that many of them are coming to the
conclusion that Arthur H. Vanden-
berg, Senator from Michigan, stands
out as the leading presidential posi-
bility Of the party. In this view,
more and more Of his own colleagues
in the Senate concur.
The recent trip East Of former
President Herbert Hoover, titulal
leader Of the party, coupled with the
presence in Washington now Of VIII
liam Allen White, veteran Kansas
editor, and other Republican editors,
has served to bring the discussion OF
Republican politics to the fore.
G. o. p. Must Find Leader.
The Democrats, In the opinion Of
Republican leaders and Republican
editors, have made and are continuing
to make plenty of issues for the cam
paign Of 1896. It Is up to the Repub-
leans to find a presidential candidate
who can rally the party and make II
possible to show its strongest front
next year.
For publication and quotation the
Republicans have talked of the need
of developing issues and of keeping
personalities out of the picture fol
the present time They may continue
to talk along such lines. But the
friends Of the men whose names are
mentioned in connection with the
presidential nomination are already al
work
1t is generally conceded that the
g. o. p. must win back the West il
it is to get anywhere in the 1885,
campaign. Without the Western
States. and that means the States OF
the Middle West as well as those be.
yond the Mississippi Valley, it woulc
be impossible for the Republicans te
elect their candidate.
Many Names Mentioned.
In addition to Senator Vandenberg
the men most frequently mentioned
for the Republican nomination in thai
part of the country are Frank Knox
publisher of the Chicago Daily News
Gov. ALT M. Landon of Kansas anc

|NA1 BOND failure
PROTESTED BY j. S.
Dodd Delivers New Note
on Dawes Paper
Payments.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new vigorous protest against
Germany's failure to make interest
payments approximating $4,000, ,00O
due American holders of Dawes bonds
on April Is has been made by the
United States.
Secretary Hull announced today
that William E. Dodd, American Am
bassador to Berlin, delivered the pro-
test in the form of an aide memoire
at the German foreign Office yester-
day.
The United States previously had
made a number of formal and verbal
protests against Germany's failure to
pay as being discriminatory against
Americans.
Text Of Note.
The new American note said:
THE Government OF the United
States has seen with regret the an
nouncement that the coupons Of the
Dawes loan which fell due for pay
ment on April Is, and which do not
fall under the provisions Of special
agreements or clearing arrangements
whereby the holders may receive full
payment in their respective currencies
will be served only by an offer Of pay
ment in registered marks.
I'm effect, this means that holders
other than American holders will re-
ceive full payment and that American
holders will be rendered payment in
reichsmarks utilizable only for re-
stricted purposes and convertible into
dollars only at a considerable discount
from the face value of the coupon.
Total Is 100000.
"The amount necessary to assure
full service of this direct obligation
of the German government bearing
specific guarantees of priority OF
transfer into foreign currencies and
of on-discriminatory treatment is
slightly in excess of 100000.
1.-The loan was floated under un-
usual auspices of international CO.
operation and the American sub
scriptions were an essential contribu-
tion to the re-establishment Of Ger
man currency and finance in 1924.
1.-The solemn faith and credit Of
Germany were voluntarily pledged by
the German government that pay
ments on the bonds would be met
and met without discrimination Tor

Fate of Recovery Law Be.

BY the Associated Press.


Critics seeking to abolish or dras-

ammunition today in a report by 9

tigators. who declared the Blue Eagle
has Substantially" retarded recovery
Coming so soon after Hugh S

served to emphasize anew the con-
flict about N. r. A.

doubt, in the opinion of many OBJ
servers, on the fate Of the recovery
law, which Is to be determined by
this Congress.
The Brookings Institution report
has not been released officially, but
copies of major portions of it have
found their way to Capitol Hill. The
signers of the report include Leon c

Per Capita City Burden Ex'
ceeds That of Many, Com.
parison Reveals.
STATISTICS EMPHASIZE
HIGH ASSESSMENT HERE
Actual Sales Examined to Show
Valuations About 100 Per Cent
of Purchase Price.

Property owners here are carrying
a per capita city tax burden that
exceeds the average for 19 cities OF
the country ranging from 100000 to
1000, 900 in population, District As
SCISSOR William P. Richards revealed
today in a report to Commissioner
Hazen on studies of comparative taxa
ton.
The per capita tax levy of the
District is s34.04, as compared with
$29.8l average for the 20 cities lin
cluding Washington, Mr.. Richards
found. This was higher than 13 of
the 10 cities. In total tax levy per
capita the Districts $3404 exceeded
or approximated that Of nine of the
cities, when their State and county
taxes and debt payments all were
included. (See table accompanying
this article)
The high level Of property assess
ments maintained in the District was
clearly illustrated in the survey. Tabu-
lations were presented by Mr.. Richards
showing that the assessment total for
the District was greater than 16 of
the cities, of which are larger than
the District.
Thorough Study Made.
The assessors conclusions are the
result Of months of examination Of
official reports of taxing authorities
of the group of cities he selected for
comparison and we're made in connec-
ton with the Commissioners study Of
the adequacy of the local tax burden.
The per capita tax levy figures and
other results Of the study offer con-
vincing proof the District carries a
tax load that compares favorably with
the tax level for the group Of cities,
Mr.. Richards informed the Commis-
sioners.
Other points outlined by the as
SCISSOR Were:
/. While other cities. by law. have
requirements of full value in property
assessments. in actual practice the
assessments average but so per cent
of full value, as shown in statements
of tax officials Of the cities.
2. District assessments are as near
100 per cent as 1t is possible to 90,
as illustrated In a table comparing
actual sales made here with the as
sessments against the same proper
ties.
8. The District leads the field of
the cities studied in the amount of
property exempted from taxation. the
total here being three times as large
as in IA of the cities.
T. Tax burdens of other cities are
boosted by the existence of huge city
debts which draw heavily on revenues
for interest and principle, whereas
Washington has followed a pay-as-
you-go practice and has no debt ex-
cept for the $5,500,00O advanced by
the p. w. A. recently.
Rate Here Is Lower.
AS for the tax rate taken alone
Washington is the lowest in the list
"The conclusion is that the Dis
trict, in paying its present rate on full
value, carries the same tax burden as
illustrated in the average of other
cities where the rate Is double and the
base one-half that of the District -
Mr.. Richards said.
The 19 cities with which the Dis
trict tax burden was directly COM
pared are Philadelphia. Detroit. st.
