SPLIT
INTO z CAMPS
ON D. c. BUDGET.
Commissioners For
100000 Boost

A cleavage in opinion over
municipal finances threatened to
split the city into two camps to-
day as the District Commissioners
indicated they would fight for a
1889 municipal budget of $50,000,-
900, or $4,000, 900 more than this
years estimate.
Principal opposition came from
the Board of Trade through its
president, Edward F. Colladay,
who suggested that local taxes
and departmental operating costs
be pruned sufficiently to keep the
budget within this years $46,000,-
900 estimate.
TO FIGHT LIMIT
The Commissioners declined to
announce their plans for next
years budget, but indicated they
would resist efforts of the Board
of Trade and other local groups
to limit the tax load. The pro.
posed 1889 budget as estimated
by Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, Dis
trict auditor, anticipates the con-
tinuation of the ascent increase

erty levy and of the tax on bust
ness gross receipts.
Meanwhile, plans for a concen-
trated attack on the business
privilege tax were discussed at the
Hamilton Hotel last night by the
Federation of Business Mems AS
Socistions and the washington
branch of the National League of
Wholesale Fish, Fruit and Veg
etable Distributors.
OPPOSITION UNITES
The federation decided on a
tentative program calling for
organization of general assembly
! of two delegates from every bust
ness and trade organization in the
city. to be appointed within the
next two weeks.
The assembly would formulate
protest to Congress on the new
levy, which would have the city
wide backing of the business
groups.

Optimism Rides High
What the better business and trading eye
sights seem to see in the existing momentary de-
preston of business thought is simply this:
Optimism has been riding high during the past
few months because of the crop outlook. A
bumper cotton crop is ripening in the South
(some of it already picked. Farmer in the
wheat and corn belts have money coming to har-
vest in their fields Cattle and hog prices are
good, and some very good authorities think they
will be better.
Nothing has occurred to destroy this optimistic
picture, but labor difficulties taxes, the sac con-
dition of the railroads, the lack of prospect for
expanding foreign markets-an these and other
recently accepted domestic knowledge suddenly
caused many investors in many different places
to believe they had been too optimistic.
There is another very important phase of it,

The Listening Post By Carlisle Bngnom

Of the earlier Liberal training he got? They could
make counter-attack against the Lord Macau-
lays, charging that the whole business against
Hugo is the work Of the Power Trust or some
other influence working against the Common
People.
Already, a fellow in town here, who is friend
Of Hugo, has advanced a corking good plan of
counter-attack. It is not generally known, he
says, that the Khan in Alabama in Hugo's time
was great Populist movements movement
Of small business men and labor against monopo
listic interests. Now that's the stuff.
Chance for WPA
Instead Of the Liberals processing to be shocked
at what they've found out about Hugo this is the
sort of cry they should set up. Where in the
dickens do they suppose Hugo learned about seiz
ing private kilograms? In Southern girls fin
ishing school? Where do they suppose he acquired
those other qualities which they have so ad-
mired? Admittedly he has native ability but the
Liberalism" he has shown in the Senate has
polish which wasn't just taken on in the ordinary
course He had to have postgraduate training
for it and there is no getting away from the fact
that the schooling he got under those sheets of
the Klan was about as good Liberal" school
ing as could be had. Instead Of turning up their
noses at Hugo's alma mater they ought to endow
it with WPA funds.

Two Youths Nearly
Killed in Lumber Yard

Elsewhere in this issue is no.
tice to parents by the j. Neils Lum-
Der company urging them to keep
their children from playing among
the piles of lumber. The company
is fearful that if this practice is
continued, it will probably be only
a short time until some small life
is crushed out by tragic accident.
The youngsters find the lumber
piles a good place in which to play.
They little realize the chances they
are taking The large truck lum-
Der carriers are constantly moving
through the alleys between the piles
of lumber and they travel at a high
rate of speed. The alleys are COM
paratively narrow and the piles
OF lumber are high. 1t would
be more than easy for thought
less child to suddenly dart out
from between the piles into the
path of speeding carrier and be
killed or seriously injured. During
the past week two children riding
bicycles in the lumber yard Just
barely escaped being run over by
carriers. Workmen recently found
some play houses that had been
built between the lumber piles.
The warning is timely ana should
be needed by parents and by chill
dren who are old enough to realize
the chances they are taking. The
yard of large industrial plant
such as a saw mill is no place for
children.

New Geysers Erupting
In Yellowstone Park

Many readers of the Western News
who have visited Yellowstone ma
tional park will be interested in
the following item from the daily
press which tells of new geysers
having broken out in the canyon of
the Yellowstone. The item reads as
follows:
In the Grand Canyon area of Vel
loWstone national park a number
of peculiar geysers have been found.
One, located about $50 feet above
the waters edge, once erupted two
or three times a way, but then be-
came quiet for many years. 1t has
since resumed action and erupts
now for periods of three to four
hours
Another sends horizontal stream
out of the canyon wall, while an
other sends double stream at ar
oblique angle.
In another section an eight-inct
hole in the canyon wall sends out
an oscillating flow resembling more
than anything else the broken dis.
charge from one of the vents of ar
ocean liner"

The object of his concern is
that squat building near the Capt.
toll steps, known as the Botanical
Gardens. It cost $1,500,00O to put
it there. 1t now costs 100000 an

days took as much as $195,000 a
year.
Nobody seems to know how
Congress got hold Of it, accord

statutory appropriation under
