y CANDIDATES
F0RC0NGRESS
ARE WOMEN

When America goes to the polls
on November 3. the aspirations of
% politically-minded women, more
than half of whom lean toward rad
ical convictions, will be decided.
All of these women are running
for seats in the United States House
of Representatives, and of them six
are Socialists, four are Communists
and two are running on the Farmer
Labor ticket.
The others are just plain Repub-
licans or Democrats, six and five
respectively. five of whom are in
cumbents, hoping that their con-
stituents will send them back to
take their seats with more than
400 men on the floor of Congress.
OF these, perhaps, Mrs. Caroline
O'Day Cd, Representatives.
large from New York, is the most
spectacular. She came into Con-
greSS two years ago with a blaze Of
glory, after she had been aided
in her campaign by Mrs. Roosevelt.
This year, with Mrs. Roosevelt's
husband himself a candidate, the
First Lady will lend no helping
campaign hand, although it is
said she will attend a series Of
Democratic rallies in New York
where Mrs. O'Day will speak in
the week preceding the election.
Mrs. O'Day is running against
Miss Natalie Couch, a veteran
Republican political leader, who
was selected by John D. M. Ham,
ilton, generalissimo Of the Repub.
lican campaign, to direct tn e
women's activities in the East
Miss Couch has challenged Mrs
ODay to debate.
Mrs. Isabella Greenway. an
other member of Congress who is
White House intimate, will not
run again from Arizona. She was
a bridesmaid at the Roosevelts'
wedding. She served in Congress
for three years, but did not seek
reelection this year.
Three other women. who have
been returning to Congress term
after term, with very little oppo.
Sition at the polls, are seeking to
come back again. They are Mrs
Mary T. Norton Cd, of New Jer.
Sey, who is chairman of the House
District Committee; Mrs. Florence
P. Kahn CRD, of California, and
Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers CRD,
Of Massachusetts.

PER CAPITA TAX
LOWER IN DC.

A decrease of $5.44 in the per
capita tax levy for all purposes
in the District since 1925 was noted
today in financial statistics of the
local government for 1885 released
by Director William L. Austin, Of
the Census Bureau.
The figures revealed that during
1885 the per capita tax levy was
$35.75, which represented a de-
crease of 1886 under the per cap
tia levy in 1884. The levy in 1926
was $4119.
BY inference, the statistics re-
vealed that the decline in the tax
levy was due to increase in popu-
lation. The population on jan
uary l, 1885, was placed at SIS, 900;
on January l, 1884, at 535, 900; and
on January l, 1926, at 466, 400.
Total 20 Millions
Assessed valuation Of property
subject to ad valorem taxes in
1885 was $1,642,996,416. while
the levy for all purposes was
$50, 557, 1895.
The statistics showed the per
capita cost of operation and gen
eral maintenance of the depart
ments in the municipal govern
ment increased from $64.35 in
1884 to $69.88 last year.
Payments for operation and
maintenance amounted to $40,-
181,645 for general departments,
including schools, while addi-
tional payments of $1,026,692
were made for operation and
maintenance of public service en-
terprises, such as water works,
markets and the like.
Capital improvements for the
year amounted to $8,917,446.
Fifty Million Total
These items brought the fig
ure for total expenses of the Dis
trict for the year to $50,125,783.
The report stated that the
revenue derived from all sources
amounted to $51,802,345. The
gross debt for the year was
$3,952,8O0, representing $6.87 per
capita, and comprising 10000
in funded debt past due and
$3,85O,000 floating debt incurred
through advances from the Pub
lie Works administration for
sewage disposal plant and the
Glenn Dale tuberculosis Santa

right now.
Arguments advanced that Alex
andria city will annex more OF
Arlington county'S area unless
the county Incorporates appear
to be without much foundation
since our representative in the
general assembly, William D.
Medley. has informed the people
that under the county charter
with which Arlington county was
set up it is impossible for Alex
andria to secure more Of Airing
tons land.
In addition to these points, It is
obvious that Arlington county
still has too much rural area to
make incorporation a fair move
for all citizens of the county.
Those in the densely settled areas
would have many advantages over
those in the scarcely settled areas.
Last of the reasons against such
a move that comes to my mind at
this time is that the incorporation
of Arlington county into a city
would establish wards throughout
the area and break the unity That
has played such in important role
in the development of the county.
