Pointing out that the Federal
Government owns 40 per cent Of
the National Capitals real estate,
Commissioner Hazen has suggested
that the Government pay to the
District a lump sum based on taxa
ton of Federal office buildings.
Outlining his suggestion at a
meeting Of the Northeast Council
Of Citizens Associations last night
in the Brookland Methodist EpiS-
copal Church, Commissioner Hazen
declared it would be "the faireSt
way OF arriving at the Federal
Governments contribution to Dis.
trict expenses"
Despite the vast realty holdings
Of the Federal Government, Mr..
-Hazen pointed out that 1t pays
less than is per cent Of the city's
expenses. He declared:
eft Is easy to see from these
figures that the load on the Dis
trict taxpayer Is away out Of
proportion and that the Federal
lump sum contribution Is far
too small"
More than $50 associations al

BUS AIR TEST.
BY i. 5. ASKED

A request for the loan Of equip
ment and personnel Of the United
States Public Health Service to
test air in buses Of the Capital
Transit Company has been made
by DR.. George C. Rutland, District
health officer.
This action was taken follow
ing a conference between DR..
Rutland and Peoples Counsel
William A. Roberts, who Is en-
gagged in a fight with the Public
Utilities Commission over bus
ventilation.
DIR. Ruhland said he wished to
conduct tests for the content Of
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
germs and fresh air renewal in
the buses.
Mr.. Roberts is undecided wheth-
er he will file a suit against the
street car company for alleged
violation Of q safety equipment
clause in the Public Utilities Com
mission act. He said his threat
of suit was designed as a means
of forcing an order from the COM
mission standardizing bus ventil-
alton.
Members Of the commission
have said they will not be forced
into issuing the order and are
awaiting reports from the Bureau
Of Standards on bus ventilation
tests before taking final action.

day stood virtually complete.

the course of a series Of farflung
speaking tours, the President will
hammer home to the voters a
fourpoint program, as the basis
Of his bid for another term in the
White House.
shows Hand Plainly
without waiting to see who the
Republicans nominate to oppose
him, or which issues the q. O.. p.
platform will stress, Mr.. Roose-
welt has committed himself to the
following:
/. A further increase in prices,
both Of manufactured goods and
agricultural products, through
controlled initiation which will
maintain "a reasonably stable
and constant price level"
2. Continued Federal regula-
ton of farm production.
3. A pledge that the Admin

maintaining wage levels, If in

4. Continued Federal spending
for unemployment relief so long

In carrying this formula to the
electorate, those closest to him

First, he will seek to convince
the farmer and the city man their
troubles are mutual to a point they

Second, he will press for the

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
1T CAN'T BE DONE

Professor P. w, Slosson; of the University OF
Michigan has urged direct grant of more power
to the federal government to regulate American
business and industry
That seems to be the position not only of the
socaIled "brain trust" but also of large number
of college men,
But how do they 'get that way?" We can un-
5erstapd how unearned and less intelligent men
can be deceived into the belief that government
control night be able to improve their lot.
But that college men should hold to such belief
in anv considerable numbers is almost incomprc-
bsnshIe in view of what and they know about
the things that are going on in the world.
They ought to knew best what are the conse~
orarces of such a concentration and increase of
mower in the hands of government.
rbov. are not ignorant of what such power has
dooe to men in this category in Germany and Rus
sia and Italy where there is no such thing as free
dom of thought or education
And they are simple souls indeed if they believe
srcb q pover, which can be used, against business
and industry will not be used against them as we'll
When government gets to the point where despo-
tic control of one group of people OF one social Sec
iop of the nation is pOSsible there can be no sort
of liberty for any of us.

So,vas if they have an idea they going to direct

WAS IT A RACKET

With the exposure Of facts relative to eXpendI-
lures in the organization Of the Townsend pension
group one is inclined to ask the question: Is this
Townsend 5000 month pension plan n racket! IL
certainly looks thought 1t Is.
At convention of Townsendtes in Chicago last
summer it was announced that DR.. Townsend ami
the organization secretary, Robert +. Clements
each received a salary of about $1,000 plus some
expenses.
But what are the facts CLEANED by congress
sional investigating committee? In 1885 this man
Clements received salary of $l2,5S5, plus rent
for his living apartments, plus grocery bills, plus
maid hire plus Incidental expenses, and plus uSua
allowances for travel expense For instance, IN the
latter expense items are to be found the following
breakfast Sl4O tips at soc each, meals for two
DAYS s17. so, etc. etc. On top of this is found
salary allowance for his wife, acting as secretary
amounting to $1,475 in 1885.
Well. it begins to look though some mighty
clever gentlemen found great grist OF unsuspect-
ing people to contribute their dimes, quarters ana
dollars to a cause that looked we'll on paper out
that was far from sound in principle" although
very attractive in 'princpaP' to certain few.

countless other schemes activities, pastmes and the
ike will ever be with us and there will always DC

DOES THIS POINT THE WAY?

The Supreme Court of the State OF New YORK mas
declared unconstitutional that states unempioy'
ment insurance law.
This law taxes the payrolls of employers, IN prac
tically the same way the new federal law taxes
them for the same purpose.
1t was this feature of the law that Justice flerce
R. Russell held unconstitutional, basng his opimon'
he said on the United States Supreme Courts due
process of law Interpretation in the railroad re-
tirement pension case. ..-.
He held that compulsory contribution of an en-
ployer to be paid as an unemployment insurance
benefit to employer of another, is without valid
ity under our system of government and constitutes
unwarranted, unreasonable and arbitrary transfer
of the property of one to another in violation ot
the due process clause of the constitution"
Whether this may be taken as an indication OF
what is likely to happen to the federal social secur-
ity act when it comes up for test, 1T undoubtedly
will, is something only for speculation
The New York case is going to the highest court
in that state, the Court of Appeals.
If this court upholds Justice Russell, it will prob
ably stop there But the question will not be def
ntely determined until the United States Supreme
Court passes upon it, either in this case or in test
of the federal statute.-Rock Hill (S.CD Herald.

EXPLAINING 1T

One explanation of why the Congress votes blan-
ket appropriations for relief purposes rather than a
bill which would specify how the money is to be
spent is that of shrewd Washington observer who
says the Congress does not know what else to do.
No study of the relief situation has been made
by the members of the two bodies and the members
know very little about PWA relief details
The safe play, from political standpoint is 10
pass the buck to the President
And that, according to this observer, is why Ad-
ministrator Hopkins has so much authority and
such free hand in spending the Federal funds
which are being borrowed from the people And
which the people will have to pay back in the form
of taxes.
But would it not be more patriotic for members
of Congress to find out something about this PWA
relief business and have say in how this money i:
to be spent?-Greenwood Index-Journel.

WHY NOT A WEST POINT FOR
CIVIL SERVICE?
Bv BRUCE CATION

Common sense is supposed to be what us
name imphes-cOmmon But there are
fields of human activity in which common
sense is used so rarely, that when someone
gets up and proposes to apply little he
seems to be making breath-taklng propo-
SitiOn.
Thus, for instance, when Congressman
Wesley Disney, of Oklahoma suggests that
the federal government establish govern
ment school for civil service training, the
idea seems strange and fantastic. tits only
after we let it percolate around for while
that we begin to discover that it is nothing
but plain, everyday common sense.
Congressman Disney's argument runs
like this:
We maintain elaborate training schools
for the officers of our army, our navy, ana
our coast guard. We send promising young
men to these schools, pay all their expenses
and give them the very finest training our
experts can devise, so that they may serve
us well.
We have had such success with these
schools that very rarely does man who
has not been graduated from one OF them
attain command in our military forces.
Uncle Sam employs lot Of other people,
outside army, navy, and coast guard. And
instead of maintaining special schools Tor
them, we hire them on q catch-as-eateh-
can basis.
Good old Joe Doakes, for instance, who
carried the banner through rain and snow
for Congressman Hoozis ip the 18th Waru
is a deserving party man; so We'll just fln'l
place on the government payroll for hlnl'
and if he is too dumb to come in out OF the
wet nobody much will know the difference.
So Joe Doakes gets hired, by the hundred
and by the thousand; and once in a while
we wonder, wistfully, why it is that some
of our government services cost so mueh
and are so inefficient.
Now it is very hard to think OF one soil
tary argument why the special-trainlng-
school idea should not apply to civil service
in the federal government as well as u
military service.
After all, the government employs more
civilians than soldiers and sailors. The neeo
for expert work in the civil branch IS a.
great as in the military. Ordinary common
sense should have told us, long ago, tha'
the way to get it would be to estaolsn
great civil service training academy on Z
par with the naval and military academies
Congressman Disney has introduced
bill for establishment of such school

like to think it is, this bill-or some Dill dc
