are made. they are exclusively at the
expense Of the local taxpayers" Lesh
pointed out also that under the pres
ent system there arose the most OBJ
jectionable feature" the fact that
there arises annually the question as
to what shall be the amount Of the
Federal contribution"
Lesh criticized the fact that ex-
penses Of the District Court for the
District Of Columbia and the Court
Of Appeals for the District Of Co.
lumbia are paid for exclusively from
the treasury of the District of Co.

contribution" as Congress may make.
Every other District court of the
United States" he said, land every
other Circuit Court of Appeals is
maintained exclusively from the Fed
eral Treasury" Here in Washington,
also. he said, these courts have much
heavier ime-consuming litigation"
national in character, because of the
location Of the seat Of Government
here
Turning to taxation, Lesh pointed
out the burden laid on residents OF
this city, which is taxed by the same
Federal laws which apply to residents
of the States. He showed how pay
ments of Federal taxes here exceeded
those paid in many other States.
THE Federal taxes paid by residents
here, who outnumber only eight
States" he explained. during the
year 1881 were greater in amount
than those paid in ~ States. That
seems incredible! The amount Of
Federal taxes paid the resident Of the
District Of Columbia during 1881 was
$14,6s4, ,s53.43. -" As a matter Of fact
the Federal taxes paid by II States
combined was less than that paid by
the District of Columbia alone"
IS Per Cent Paid Back to d. C.
On the other hand, Lesh pointed
out that the II States which paid
altogether about s13,OOO.000, which
was less than that paid by the Dis
trict of Columbia in Federal taxes,
had received in the form of State aid
254 per cent of all they paid in to
the Federal Government. The Dis
trict of Columbia got back only IS
per cent, he said. The returns in the
II States varied from 662 per cent
in New Mexico down to 70 per cent
in the case of Vermont.
"The answer as to how financial
equity for the District of Columbia
can be obtained becomes clear" said
Lesh. Immediate relief can be OBJ
tanned by backing the Citizens Joint
Committee on Fiscal Relations, which
is doing splendid work for you under
the able Craftsmanship Of Theodore
w. Noyes."
Referring to the inquiry by the
Presidents committee into fiscal re-
lations, Lesh remarked: 1T Is but
a detail, but an ironical one, that
the expense of this inquiry, s50,000,
is charged against the $5,000,000 Fed
eral aid, so that the District gets only
$4,950, 900 and is paying in full for
the Federal Governments present in
quiry into its own obligation.

Mr.. Minicker has been with
the Agricultural Administration
for two and a half years. Pre-
viouSly he had not been expert
enced in Government service.
One Of the staunch advocates
Of the lodge is Mrs. Alma F.
Paulsen. A native Of Norfolk,
Va, Mrs. Paulsen went with the
Government service first as an
employe of the Census Bureau.
Three years ago she transferred
to the AAA and now has a posi-

First Chose Nursing
Nursing is the career that
Mrs. Paulsen would have adopted
had she not cast her lot with the
Federal employ.
Mrs. Paulsen IS an ardent
collector of stamps and her
philatelic albums contain many
noteworthy specimens. Bowling
is Mrs. Paulsen'S favorite sport
and among her fellow members
of the Eastern Star she enjoys
quite a reputation for her ability
on the alleys.
Another of the junior operators

like Mrs. Paulsen and Mr.. Min
ECKER, is a member of the
A. F. G. E. lodge 116. Another
point which Miss WySong has
in common with Mrs. Paulsen is
her affiliation with the Census
Bureau before she became an at
tache at AAA.
Miss Wysong originally came
from nearby Silver Spring, Md.
and has been with AAA for three
years. She attended Eastern
High School here.
PosseSsor of a voice Of real

the practice of illegal m o n y

ton and other offices, the six
for five" eXtra-curricular business
man thrives.
A move to correct the custom
was undertaken last year when
rules were set up to govern
installment debts of Government
workers. A committee, headed by
several outstanding officials
similar to the group now iron
ing out leave proviSionS-worked
for several weeks on the pros
pect of alternating workers from
the financial obligations which
they could not, or would not, pay.
The committees findings have
proved useless, however, except
to coordinate between Govern
ment officials the manner in
which they will handle obliga-
lions which employees probably
should not have contracted in
the first place.
The problem Of the personal
money lender has been allowed to
remain unsolved, except that occa-
sionally an office allows someone
to resign because he has been
caught at it. AS matter Of fact,
according to a well known official,
ordinary rank and file person
mel" has no resentment against
the member of their own rank who
charges exorbitant interest, be-
cause it is viewed as an absolute
benefit when the individual hap
pens to need cash quickly and
badly.
It is pointed out that the 80
per center" has been known since
before the turn of the century in
the Government service. He, it is
said, has been officially counte-
nanced if he doesn't become too
noticeable, because he is a neceS-
sity for low-pay folk who occasion
ally get into a jam. A number of
folk during the past two decades
are authoritatively said to become
rich by the practice Of lending
money.
In an office, the identity Of
which cannot be disclosed, it Is
well known that an employe lends
money. at perhaps, the rate Of
one dollars interest on five. It is
also we'll known that the Depart
ment of Commerce discharged,
or fired" a noted Washington ath-
lete for the same practice.
What officials will do to allevi-
ate this situation in the weeks to
come remains to be revealed.
No knowledge
The so-called agitation over the
condition in the Resettlement Ad-
ministration has been termed by
officials "in the know" as without
foundation.
There is no real reason for any
employe to bother about anything
connected with the entire situa-
ton. Officials today said that
while the condition is unknown
and officially undetermined that
there was no need for worry and
the fact remains that despite the
recent rulings of the Supreme
Court the various departments of
the ReSettlement Administration
will continue operation for an in
definite period.
