Although he is now regarded

Capitol Post Office
Has Record December

WaShington's Post Office did
the biggest business in its history
in December.

HOT FIGHT DUE
ON LUMP SUM
FOR CAPITAL

i Despite the fact that the bud
get estimates for the District Of
Columbia in 1897 sent to Congress
today by President Roosevelt show
an increase Of $878,3S5 over 1885,
the recommendation for the lump
sum appropriation Of the Federal
government remains at $5,700,0 900.
Thus the contribution, remain
ing at the same figure, cuts the
percentage of help estimated from
the Federal government to run
the nations Capital to IL per cent.
While 1t is expected that the
District subcommittee Of the
House Appropriations Committee
will adhere to the letter Of the
budget message on this item, it
was authoritatively learned today
that it will be the basis Of a Wig
orous fight on the floor Of the
House and in the Senate Appro-
priations Committee and on the
Senate floor.
LOng-Standing Fight
The fight will not be a new one
as it has been thrashed out along
similar lines ever since Congress
arbitrarily set aside the 60-40 basis
agreed upon over a decade ago.
Hope for an increase in the Fed
eral contribution over the budget
estimate this year comes from the
statements of an increasing num-
Der Of members on both the House
and Senate side who believe firm
ly in the theory that since this Is
the Capital of the United States,
the Federal government should
carry a much larger part of the
cost than it has in the past.
Representative Mary T. Norton
CD, New Jersey, chairman of
the House District Committee,
will lead the fight for additional
money on the House side. Mrs.
Norton has said she will make
an exhaustive study of the fiscal
relations at this session of Con-
gress in order to better the ar
rangement.
Representative Virginia Jenckes
(D), Indiana, member Of the
House District Committee, also an
nounced recently that she would
support the District in its fight.
She said:
ut is q shame that the Fed.
eral government does not con-
tribute to the cost Of running
the Nations Capital.
ut would be different If this
was just an ordinary city, but
all Of the big offices of the
United States Government are
situated here, drawing thou
sands Of employees who must be
protected and cared for under
the municipal government.
This additional burden on the
city officials should be met
with commensurate and gen
erOus funds in keeping with
the dignity and efficiency that
should mark Washington as
the foremost Capital Of the
world"
Friends in Senate
On the Senate side, Washing.
ton has friends on both sides Of
the political fence and in most
strategic positions.
Senator Elmer Thomas CD,
Oklahoma, chairman of the Dis
trict subcommittee of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, will
lead the fight in his committee.
Last year he failed to impress the
House members with the necessity
of an increase but he viii continue
his fight.
Senator Arthur Capper (RO,
Kansas, member of the Senate
District Committee and former
chairman of that committee, is
ready to aid also. He said:
The contributions have de-
creased greatly since I first
came to Congress and are far
too low now. Something GER
tainly should be done to raise
the Federal contribution to q
more e0uitahIe, figure."

One measure of repeal advised
by the President was that of the
AAA amendment passed last year
giving the Secretary Of Agriculture
80 per cent Of customs receipts to
use to encourage expectation and
domestic consumption of agri
cultural commodities" The PreSt
dent held that the act denies to
the President the opportunity to
consider the need and include ap
propriate estimates in the bud
get: and it denies to the Congress
the opportunity to review such
estimates in their relation to the
whole program Of the government
It is in conflict with sound ad
ministration il that it provides ir
advance for large annual expendi
lures without any attempt to CO
ordinate income and expense"
The budget estimated the in
come from AAA processing taxes
