love her. What more can I do to
prove it? Haven't I taken care
Of her and the kids for is years
hardly taken a day off from my
job and never looked at another
woman? Don't I come home reg
ularly every night and give her
every cent I earn? If that isn't
love, for Pete's sake, what ISL"
Yet, Milady still walls and
mopes and plans dramatic sur
priSes. So, having been a woman
now and then myself, I have de-
cided to let him, and all other
Heckled Husbands, in on certain
vital statistics. If they weren't
such dumb clucks they would have
discovered these facts for them
selves long since. But, being what
they are, here goes:
Why do middle aged wives act
up like this?
Every male thinks he knows the
answer. Man, being Gods best

Woman being naturally "juSt

now departed.

Slowly but surely the reason
why Jeffersonian principles are
to the fore in this campaign year
is becoming clear to "the house
hold Of the Nation" It is be-
cause JefferSonian principles are
In complete conflict with Per
sonal Government-the kind OF
government that Farleyism has
established in the place Of the
Government Of the Constitution.
The week IN which the Ameri-
can people observe the anniver-
sary of Jefferson's birth is q
good time to begin refreshing
the public memory regarding
some of the principles indisso-
lubly linked with the name and
fame Of the Author Of the De-
claration Of American Indepen-
dence, Of the Statute Of Vir-
ginia for Religious Freedom and
Father of the University Of Viz
ginia."
These were the only honors
which Jefferson included in his
own epitaph on the tombstone
which marks his grave at Month

JEFFERSON'S PRINCIPLES
Jefferson was strong believer
in Governmental economy. The
waste he most abhored was the
waste of Government funds be.
cause these were made up Of
money taken from the people. AS
the editor Of the leading Demo
cratic newspaper of Arizona--the
Arizona Daily Star-pointS out In
his jefferson Day issue Of that
newspaper, Jefferson in his annual
messages to the Congress took
pride in the reductions he was able
to make in expenditures and in the
curtailment Of the public debt.
Jefferson made mistakes as have
every other President. One Of his
greatest mistakes which, to its
credit the Roosevelt Administra
ton has not repeated, was that OF
Gripping the Common Defense BY
unduly reducing the armed forces
Of the Republic. But this was the
exception to the rule,
Most Of Jefferson's economies
resound to his credit and all that
he said about the imperative
necessity of the most conscientious
and rigid prudence in public ex
penditures applies with devastat
ing force to the record Of Personal
Government and the evils Of
Farleyism which it has inflicted
upon the country.
Writing to Shelton Gillian in
1908, jefferson said:

in private life, would forbid our
paying our money for unex-

DENOUNCED SAME EVILS
jefferson not only knew all
about the evils which are today,
under Personal Government right

jefferson had the courage to de-

Madison and many other friends
against them.

A Fair Suggestion

In considering the problem Of fiscal relations between
the Federal Government and the National Capital the
Senate debating the pending District appropriation BILL
might well give thought to the suggestion Of the Fedora
ton Of Citizens Association Of appointment of perma
nent commission to handle this long disputed matter
The Federation, apparently recognizing the fN-
tiItty of going along in the present hit-Gnd-ntss
fashion, recommends the creation of permanent
and ipnrtidL body to fix the amount Olich the Fed
eral Government lOOuId annually erpend upon the
Federal city.
It is suggested that the commission consist Of Sena
tor Representative two District citizens and taxpayers
appointed by the President and fifth member to be
chosen by the other who would not be resident or tax
payer Of the District and would not be Government
employee.
Such commission, consisting Of membership dom
mated by those who were not Washngtonians could
tanly be relied on to give the Federal Government a
fair DEAL
And WGshingtOniGns are perfectly Milling to take
chance on obtaining justice in this matter from any
body Which is not animated by downright prejudice.
It should be obvious to everyone that the present
method Of fixing the Federal share Of local expenses is
unsatisfactory both to the Nation and to the District
FURTHERMORE, SINCE THE FEDERAL SHARE
IS ABOUT THE LAST THING DETERMINED IN
THE DISTRICT BILL, THE WISEST BUDGETING
OF APPROPRIATED FUNDS CANNOT BE OBJ
TANNED.

There have Rep. II. L. KnutsOn
been some indications that even
those men who attended the Ways
and Means Committee hearings
and drafted the bill, which is es-
tilnated by the Treasury to be
capable Of producing SOL millions
in revenue, do not have q COM
plete understanding Of the meas
ure.
In the course of the hearings
Henry B. Fernald, representing
the Chicago chamber Of COM
MERGE, had been testifying. At
that point Representative Frank
Crowther, Republican Of New
York. inserted a tax formula in
the record, saying:
''This formula was prepared
by the statisticians or the ex-
peftS for determining the pro-
pOrtiOnate income"
The formula appeared somewhat
complicated and Representative
Harold L. Knutson (R.) Of Mime
sofa, demanded:
"Mr. Fernald, have you looked
into the Einstein theory Of
reIativity?"
Mr.. Fernaid said:
eyes, sir!"
Then said Mr.. Knutson:
"Then the formula that DR..
CrOwther read to you must ap-
pear to you as clear as mud"

tendency to loosen up the rein.
AS a writer remarked to me only
recently:
'"The English language is for
