Tax Dodgers?

The interchange of views between Senate and House
conferees the District appropriation BILL including
covert threat that Senator Thomas of Oklahoma would
be punished politically for his efforts to obtain fair play
has brought to light interesting comparison of Dis
trict taxes
Although the position of Senator Thomas, chairman
of the Senate subcommittee District appropriation
needs no defense either in Oklahoma in Washington,
the Senator receipt of the threat gathered up figures
on Oklahoma's tax problem and compared them with
similar figures for the District:
AND THESE FIGURES COMPLETELY REFUTE
THE PREJUDICED STATEMENT OFTEN MADE
THAT RESIDENTS OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
ARE AVOIDING FAIR TAX BURDEN BY SHIFT
ING THAT BURDEN TO THE STATES THROUGH
THE MEDIUM OF THE FEDERAL SHARE OF THE
LOCAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
Oklahoma has population approximately five times
as large as the Districts half million.
The cost of operating its government for year is
twenty million dollars.
The cost of operating the District for
year is MORE THAN TWICE THAT SUM.
1t is interesting too to note the relatively small
area of the District contains real estate UGLued at
fiUe hundred million dollars more than the total
assessed value of real property in the great and far
flung State of Oklahoma.
With these figures in mind it is impossible to see how
the residents of Washington could be imposing the
residents of Oklahoma by seeking to have the Federal
Government meet fair share of its obligation toward
maintenance of the Federal City.
While these figures deal only with comparison of
tax matters in Oklahoma and the District figures for
comparison of District burdens with the tax burdens
Of cities of the country available and have been
gathered.
THEY SHOW THE DISTRICT IN JUST AS FAVOR
ABLE LIGHT IN THE MATTER OF MEETING ITS
TAX DEMANDS AS DO THOSE RELATING TO
OKLAHOMA.
Such figures being hand is incomprehensible that
anyone would attempt to charge members Of the Senate
with partiaty for the District when they insist that the
Federal share of the local appropriations shall be at
least 5,7O0O0O

BY his objection the minority
leader placed the onus Of the situa.

Some of them had hoped that by
leaving the remarks in the Record
they could cause Taber embarrass-
ment by distributing the material
which indicated he, Republican,

more than a blunder.
Smell, however, took advantage
of the situation and now may use

EXCEPTIONS

When DR.. Hugo Eckener, the
well.known German dirigible ex-
pert, conferred with newspaper re-
porters at the Navy Department
recently, they were greatly i'm.
pressed by his ability to under
stand the English language and
to speak it.
He joked with the scribes, under
stood their remarks and laughingly
replied to their quips. And all the
time he used English.
Then he went to the White
House.
He was accompanied by the Ger.
man Ambassador Hans Luther.
Suddenly, it seems, DR.. Eckener
forgot that he was able to con-
verse fluently in English.
He resorted to the use Of his
native German while Ambassador
Luther was present,
When questions were asked him
an interpreter would explain the
question in German and DR.. Eek
ener would reply in the same
tongue.
The. Scribes who had conversed
with him in English a short time
before and then heard him resort
to German were somewhat amazed.
Actually, in the presence of his
ambassador, DR.. Eckener was
rather heSitant to speak in a man
ner that might be interpreted as
being "too laxative"
When the dirigible expert wanted
to hasten back to Lakehurst, a
Navy plane was placed at his dis
poSal and took him to the hangar
where the huge dirigible linden
burg had been prepared for its
return flight across the Atlantic.
That the eminent DR.. Eckener
should be flown across country
in a Navy plane seems perfectly
fitting to almost everyone inter
ested.
Yet no official of the United
States Government could have
made the trip unless he was con-
nected with the Navy because of
the Presidents executive order
forbidding such flights.

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO. Dec. 81. UP) - Grain
futures settled back into a dull pre-
holiday rut on the Chicago board of
trade today with prices holding
around the previous close. A
squeeze" of shorts in December
corn around mid day provided the
only color TO the days trading.
At the close wheat was "a to Is
cent lower, December $1.38k, new
corn was "a to u cent higher, Dec
ember $1.092s, old corn was k to 3s
cent higher, May $1.035s.s .sand oats
was unchanged to Il cent higher,
December 51H cents.
Wheat led the market downward
at the start under scattered liquid
alton induced by weakness of for
eign markets. Buying by eastern
houses uncovered on the dip caused
rally and part of the losses were
erased.
The entire market was lifted
above previous closing levels, how
ever, when shorts in December corn
scrambled to cover and around mid
day. All deliveries except July made
new highs for the season before
new selling appeared to force a
slight reaction. The fact that open
interest in December corn at the
close Saturday was 6,985, 900 bushels
with only six days left to close out
these commitm caused the rush
of buying.
Selling of the nearby contract by
cash houses took some of the
weight from the fears of a squeeze
and prices lost some of the early
firmneSs.

NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, Dec. 81. (UP)-
Leading industrial issues declined
in a quiet stock market today while
special issues and nonferrous metal
shares registered gains.
Railroad issues, soft spots Satur-
day, steadied on short covering in
the early trading, and then resumed
their decline.
Leading steel issues declined but
special issues in the group made
gains and held them. Utilities were
mixed, mercantile shares lower, and
motors weak. Chemicals had wide
declines.
Initial steadiness was considered
sale Saturday of the carrier shares.
Much of that selling was profess
sional and was covered today.
Selling of automobile issues was
based on the outlook for a complete
shutdown in the industry If strikes
in accessory plants-especially glass
continue.
Chrysler lost more than points
and General Motors more than a
point. Hudson was down fraction
ally, Auburn, however, registered a
small advance. Graham Paige was
active all day at small gain. Rub
Der shares were steady. Automo-
bile equipments issues were weak
with Briggs Manufacturing off near
ly 2 points.
Higher prices for copper abroad
and for lead here helped the non
ferrous metal shares. Phelps Dodge,
Miami and Inspiration made new
highs at gains ranging to more
than point. st. Joseph Lead at its
high was up more than a point. Ad-
vances of fractions TO more than a
point were made by American
Smelling, Anaconda, Kennecott,
Howe Sound and U. S. Smelling.
Losses of 8 points Or more were
made by Allied Chemical and Du
Pont. American Telephone was off
points at 1S2 in the communica-
tion division. Case lost 2 points
In the mercantile division losses
ranging to 2 points were noted in

Wells, Moore, BuIIitt and
Davis Are UnofficialIy
! Considered.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Four veterans of diplomacy and
craftsmanship were mentioned un-
officially today as possible successors
to william Phillips, who stepped out
as Undersecretary of State yesterday
to become Americas new Ambassador
to Italy.
Phillips, wealthy career diplomat
from Beverly, Mass, ended his second
term in the undersecretaryship when
he took the formal oath as envoy to
Rome, succeeding Breckenridge Long
Of Laurel, Md, who has retired be-
cause of illness.
Mentioned as among those most
likely to succeed him as second in
command at the State Department
were:
Sumner Welles of Maryland, As
sistant Secretary of State, in charge
of Latin American affairs, and, like
Phillips, a well-to-do career man in
the foreign service.
R. Walton Moore of Fairfax, Va,
of European affairs, formerly a vet
eran Congressman.
Norman H. Davis of New York,
financier, former Undersecretary of
State and Ambassador at Large" for
two administrations.
William c. Bullitt of Philadelphia,
Ambassador to the Soviet Union, one
time newspaper man and author.
Like these four, Phillips is a close
friend of President Roosevelt. He was
designated for the Rome assignment
a post he was understood to have
wished-after Premier Mussolini an
nounced he was appointing his former
undersecretary for foreign affairs
Fulvio Suvich, as Ambassador to
Washington.
He left last night for his home in
Beverly preparatory to sailing for
Italy on September 8.

A. H. Graham, of FIillsboro, lieute-

ernor in the June Democratic pri-
mary, is to be the chief speaker at
the Henderson Lions club Ladies'
Night on next Monday evening, it was

Graham has spoken in this county
since he announced his candidacy for
governor about a year ago. He adj
dressed the State convention of the
Patriotic Order Sons of America here
early last summer.
The Lions club is making elaborate
preparations for the visit of the lieute-
nant-governor, and will have many
other features on it's Ladies Night
program. The club goes in for no po-
litics, and emphasis is laid on the fact
that no significance of that kind at
taches to- the occasion.
