The Governments building opera
tons were scattered haphazard around
the city, with no particular attempt to
c~entralize them until 1910, when Pres
ident Taft proposed that the Govern
ment should buy the land in tie worst
slum section of the city, from Penn
~sylvania Avenue southwark. Much of
this land was bought then; more was
acquired later when, in 1925, a COM
mission appointed by President Cool
idge, developed the centralized plan
under which the old slum district has
been transformed.
District Of Columbia
Now more money is needed from
Congress for more buildings. 1t is
cheaper for Uncle Sam to own his own
buildings than to rent space, as he has
to do now for the overflow. No matter
how much real estate the Federal
Government owns, its taxes don't go
up, for under an agreement with the
people of the District Of Columbia en-
tered into nearly sixty years ago, the
Government pays half of all the taxes.
In consideration for this, the people Of
the District voted, in 1879, to abandon
their democratic form of government,
surrender their right to vote and let
Uncle Sam III the District for them.

The records of the several officers we're found % be written u D in a prompt
neat and accurate manner.
We hope the County Commissioners will not make the mistake that the previous
Commissioners made in not making sufficient leves for the sink

need of a r6undng bond issue at this time.
We note a substantial reduction in the bonded indebted

TO GET BACK to our local situa-
ton. We have talked to some of
those Democrats who are taking a
walk. Almost without exception they
have a private axe to grind. When
you analyze their arguments, you
find that they oppose the New Deal
because they lost farm or bust
ness which they neglected. (How
about the farms saved during the
past three years p The Government
has been good to the farmer. He has
cash money where he didn't before.
He has had the opportunity to get
implements and seed when he found
himself unable to make straight loans
from the local banks. He could buy
furniture and. m dern household
equipment on generous terms. In
other words, the farmer has been
able to live with some sort of salts
faction these past three years. Dur
ing Hoover's administration even the
country picnics, with their delicious
ham and chicken suppers failed to
draw a crowd. This summer has
seen the biggest crowds since the
days Immediately following the
World War. There are, perhaps,
logical arguments why certain types
Of business should not support the
New Deal. Certainly there is no
valid reason for the rural voter re-
jectng Roosevelt next November
when the farmer and laborer has SO
manifestly improved his mode OF
living.

In sad but loving remembrance of
our dear daughter and sister, Louise
Schwartzback, who departed this life
one year ago August 1, 1885.
A loving one from us is gone
The voice we love is still.
A vacant chair within our home
Which never can be filled.
Oh, how hard we tried to save her.
Prayers and tears were all in vain.
God sent down his mourning angels
And bore our loved one away.
From a world of pain and sorrow
To a land of peace and rest,
God has taken you, dear Louise
Where you will find eternal rest.
Devoted mother and sisters.
I saw you fade like a flower
But could not make you stay.
I nursed you with tender kindness.
Until God took you away.

Final Steps Taken
To Finish Modern
County Highway
Contract Awarded For Paving
And Parking Center of
Wisconsin Avenue

The final step in the Wisconsin
avenue improvement program at
Bethesda will be begun within the
next week or 10 days following the
State Roads Commissions award
Monday of a contract for paving
and parking the center of the thor
oughfare.
IN. J. Grove Lime Co., of Lime
Kiln, was given the contract after
sutnbitting the low bid of $43, TOO for
the work, whihc covers stretch Of
1853 miles. The commission had re-
jected as too high another set Of
bids opened prior to those received
last week.
Completion Of the project will
give Montgomery County a modern
highway extending from Washington
through the western section of the
county by way Of Bethesda and Rock
vile and continuing on westward
through Frederick and Pennsylvania
The contract calls for constructing
q parkway along the center of the
thoroughfare from the Distrit Of
Columbia line TO Bradley lane and
for paving the center from that
point through the Bethesda business
section to the avenues iertsection
with old Georgetown Road.
Previously the dual traffic lanes
on either side of the center strip
had been widened and resurfaced by
the State with the aid of Federal
funds.
The electric railway tracks, which
have since been removed with aban-
donment of the Washington-Roclville
Line and substitution of buses, were
left in a gulley by the road work,
and civic organizations advocated re-
moval OF the hazard by development

was awarded Monday.

the point of a national scandal; so
did Hoover, to the point of being
close to an alien in the views of the
American public.
Here is, what one man, just an or
binary working man. has to say in re-
gard to the situation today: "Now,
just suppose the government had not
given the States anything for relief
or work. What would have been the
outcome The taxes would have been
raised about twenty per cent and half
Of the people would have starved.
Then they would have let out yell.
Some admit prosperity is here but
intend to vote the other way. A
strange commentary on American
voters. Yet, it is pretty hard for a
Republican, to admit that prosperity
is here. When our country gave mil
lions to save starving foreigners, there
was not a whisper from the Republi-
cans, but when we give few millions
to our own starving children, one
can hear the cutlery from here to
China. .,NsAs
