ALLEN TO SEEK
INCREASE IN
BUDGET

Reduced by $34S,SoO, the Dis.
trict's relief appropriation for the
fiscal year 1887 was fixed at one
million, six hundred fifty-six thou
sand two hundred dollars in the
annual budget message sent to
Congress today.
Already faced with a crisis
through withdrawal of Federal
Government financial support in
the local relief field, District Com
missioner George E. Allen has an.
nounced his intention Of carrying
the fight for a larger appropria'
ton to the District committees OF
both the House and the Senate.
In addition to asking for an ap-
preparation which will be more
than double the one fixed in
the budget message, Commission r
Allen has said he will ask for a
deficiency appropriation to carry
the Districts relief program
through the remainder of the
present fiscal year, which ends
June 80.
Slash Explained
In the budget message, it was
explained that the three hundred
forty.three thousand eight hun.
bred dollar cut from the 1896 ap-
preparation of two million dollars
was made up through Federal con-
tributions to the Districts old age
pension and needy blind programs.
The contribution for old age pen.
sions was fixed at $289, 800 and
for the needy blind, $4,000.
When the District Commits
sioners were preparing the budget
for transmission to the Bureau
Of the Budget, the Federal Gov
eminent was making monthly APP
preparations to the Districts re-
lief program through the FERA.
These Federal funds were augu-
mented by monthly appropria-
lions of $685. a month from
the Districts two million dollar
relief fund.
After the Commissioners trans
nnitted their recommendations,
the Federal Government in No
vember ceased. its contributions to
the relief program, creating a
crisis in the local relief setup.
Representatives from local social
welfare, church and civic groups
descended upon the Commits
sioners when they decided to ef-
feet a IS per cent cut in the De-
cember relief payments. They
argued against the slash in relief
payments and urged the city
heads to expend the balance Of
the relief fund at a greater rate
than $166,666 a month.
Restores Relief Cuts
Commissioner Allen, as District
relief administrator, restored the
relief cuts this month by trans
ferring hundreds Of relief clients
to the Works Progress Admins
tration jobs.
The representatives when they
met with the city heads pledged
their support in asking a de-
ficiency APPROPRIATION from Con-
gresS for the remainder Of this
fiscal year and a larger appropri-
alton for the fiscal year 1887.
Commissioner Allen estimated
that, even though rigid economies
were effected for the remainder
of this fiscal year, deficiency ap-
preparation of at least $500, 1000
would be needed to carry the relief
program and at least $780, 1000
would be needed for the 1887
fiscal year.
It is understood that the Com.
missioner made a plea before the
Budget Bureau to increase tho re.
lief appropriation, but instead the
$343, 300 cut was made.

P|NCH0T RAPS
WPA AGAIN

International News Service
A second letter charging graft
and corruption in Pennsylvania
WPA was sent to President Roose-
welt by former Governor Clifford
Pinchot.
Several weeks ago Pinchot sent
his first letter charging politics
in Pennsylvania relief to the
White House. President Roose-
welt answered him, but the Execu-
tive's letter was not made public.
In the second letter, Pinchot in
timated his first letter had been
criticised for lacking specific
charges.
In lswer to that, Pinchot'S
second letter cites the following:
A letter from an east central
Pennsylvania stating that men
employed on relief in his county
got their jobs with the under
standing that he, the foreman,
could vote their ballots on cleo.
ton day.
Receipts showing a WPA worker
paid the O'Shea System of EN-
ployment, Inc, in Philadelphia,
$40 and $3.50 for securing WPA
jobs. These workers had been
sent to the agency by the State
Federal employment office.
Pinchot then declared:
81 am told that additional
cases may be found in official
dOcuments-that reports made
to the White House by your
own agents confirm nv letter."

2. A renewal Of the Presidents
demand that if Congress passes
any legislation at this session out
side Of the budget it provide
additional taxes to meet the new

In this connection the Executive
also again warned that if the
Supreme Court knocks out pro-

which appropriates to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture a sum equal

consumption of farm commodities.
It was argued this amendment
denies the President an opportu-
nifty to consider actual needs and
make specific budget estimates.
z. A suggestion that Congress
pass a law placing control Of the
administrative expense Of all 20
emergency Federal agencies under
the Budget Bureau.
Mr.. Roosevelt already has done
this by executive order in an ef-
fort to progressively cut them
down.
8. An estimate that . tax re-
ceipts for the current year would
reach a total of $4.410, 793, 946, or
419 million dollars more than was
anticipated a year ago. Next
yeag, it was predicted receipts
would hit $4,559,817,6 $50 exclusive
Of postal revenues, processing
taxes and taxes imposed under
the Social Security Act, the Guffey
Coal Act and the Railroad Retire
ment Act.
President Roosevelt quite frankly
stated it would take him two
months to draw up an estimate OF
work-relief needs in '36-'37. Point
ing out he needed time to study
the effect Of PWA'S efforts in cur
rently putting 3,500,O00 jobless at
work and also voicing optimism
over steady employment increases
in private industry.
RAPS THE POLITICIANS
"Our policy is succeeding. The
figures prove it. Secure in the
knowledge that steadily decreaS-
ing deficits will turn in time
into steadily increasing sur.
pluses. And that it is the def
cit Of today which is making
possible the deficit of tomorrow.
Let US pursue the course that
we have mapped.
Final success will depend, Of
course, on the strength Of the

DISTRICT FACES NEW RELIEF CRISIS IN S343 300 FUND SLA
DELINQUENCY
IND.C. TAXES
IS ASSAILED

Despite budget figures showing
that the percentage Of delinquent
taxes in the District has steadily
decreased in the past few years,
President Roosevelt today in his
budget message took occasion to
announce his dissatisfaction with
the situation.
In the explanatory synopsis
carried with the District budget
estimate it was pointed out that
in 1884 the delinquencies
amounted to 16 per cent. In
1885 the delinquencieS fell to IL
per cent and the estimate for
1885 and 1887 is placed at 10
per cent.
While due attention is given to
this decrease, the budget synopsis
carries these words:
Current collections from the
tax on real estate continue to
lag behind the current levy. At
the close Of the fiscal year 1884,
for example, about 16 per cent
Of the levy for that year was
delinquent, while at the close Of
the fiscal year 1885 about IL
per cent Of the levy for that
year was delinquent. For 1896
and 1887, delinquencies are esti.
mated at 10 per cent. When
other cities, comparable to the
District and enjoying the same
favorable economic conditions
can collect from "a per cent to
So per cent of the current levy,
the low percentage Of cOllec-
tons in the District of CoIum-
bia seems difficult to justify"
REAL ESTATE TAX
The largest source Of revenue to
come from the real estate tax to
continue at $3.50 on each 500 of
assessed value is estimated to
yield $lS,550, 900 for 1887. This
yield will accure from a levy of
SIT, 190,0 and the remainder
from back taxes. The assessed
valuation is set at $1,146.O00, 900.
1t was pointed out that the
valuation figure is $83, 000, 900 less
than the 1888 previous maximum
figure. but $14,000,000 more than
the low figure of 1885.
The estimated figure for return
on tangible personal property in
1897 is set at $1,000, 900. In con.
nection with the collection of this
tax, the synopsis has this to say:
at Is estimated that the cur.
rent collections under this tax
win be only So per cent Of the
total levy Of $1,125,OOO for 1887,
which Is calculated on q $75..
100000 assessment at $1.5O
per hundred. A large per.
centage Of this tax continues
to be delinquent because of in.
herent difficulties Of collection"
INTANGIBLE TAX
Tax yields on Intangible per
sonal property are estimated at
50, 800, 900 for 1887, including de-
linquency payments. The levy is
placed at $2,300,00O assessed
valuation, $3.50, 100000 at so
cents per hundred. In respect
to this tax, however, the budget
message declares that it is not
expected that this amount will
be realized by $45,000 as the
amount of $50, 101 was delinquent
at the close of the year last year.
The other large items of revenue
are estimated at 100000 from
the tax on public utilities. banks,
etc.; licenses, $1,l35,000; per.
sonal property tax on motor
vehicles, $550,000; insu r a n e
taxes, $45O.000; beverage taxes.
$950,000; fees, $725,000: 2-cent
