PERMISSION
TO BORROW
King, Kennedy Press
Measure to End
Tax Dilemma

Unable to raise its own revenue
because Of the Senate deadlock,
the District today will attempt to
borrow money to prevent the i'm
minent breakdown in District
finances.
In both houses of Congress, a
resolution is scheduled to be in
troduced under terms of which
the District government would be
authorized to borrow funds from
the Federal Treasury to be paid
back when the Washington tax
bill is passed.
Kennedy to Offer House Bill
In the House, the measure will
be offered by Representative Am
brose j. Kennedy CD Of Mary
land, author of the local tax bill
which is now held up in the Sen
ate. Senator William H. King
CD Of Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, will
present it to the Senate.
Although the Senate filibuster
over the Supreme Court bill will
prevent action on the tax mea-
sure, it is hoped that the Senate
will give way to the borrowing
resolution in face of the critical
situation of the local Golfers.
Blocked by Robinson
The borrowing clause, approved
by the House District Committee,
was stricken from the tax bin
by the House, but it appeared
that the House would be more
lenient now that the District faces
the necessity Of raising the real
estate tax rates unless the revenue
bill is passed.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson OF
Arkansas, floor leader of the Sen
ate, has held up the tax bill by his
announcement that the contro-
versial legislation will be consid-
cred during debate on the court
bill. He may, however, interpret
the borrowing resolution as non
controversial.

SATURDAY, SEPT. IS, 1887

SATURDAY, SEPT. IS, 1887 According to astrology this is an important day in planetary direc- ion. It is favorable for outdoor ,ports and brief journeys.
 Bad judgment and unwise de- cisions may be numerous while this eonfiguration prevails, for the stars presage wrong thinking regarding business and political matters.
 Labor today is under fairly favorable planetary influence which seems to presage agreements, con- tracts of. long duration and new Judgments regarding important is sues.
 Trade may be dull today which is more suspicious for recreation than it is for business. III omens of international events are discern ed.
 Medicine now will make great strides and diseases of the nervous system will be treated in a novel and successful way, it is foretold.
 Those who read the stars declare that a schism among organized la Dor groups will be temporary but not lasting. Gain for workers of radical views is indicated.
 Television is to gain greatly through new inventions and chain broadcasts are probable before many months have passed.
 Science is to be stimulated in many extraordinary ways before the close of 1887 when there will be introduced amazing new methods of prolonging life and of plotting it out.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of remuner- ative work and extending pleas ures. Both speculation and sport will occupy the attention of many.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be serious in aim, strong in character and generally success ful through their own efforts.
 Samuel Johnson, Photographer, was born on this day 1709. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include John Stephens Abbott, historian, 1895; Clinton Scollard, writer, 1860.

 In the past few days several Congressmen have voiced belief that it is time for the government to begin issuing printing press money Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma leading figure in the cur rency devauaton of 1883 says he intends to write into the farm bill at the next session of Congress pro- vision for greenback imitation. The price level, he contends is not high enough yet Cincinnats Repre- sentative Herbert S. Bgeow announces that currency imitation is desirable to finance work relief
 Such talk, of course, needs to be salted with the realization that this is the interim between sessions of Congress the time when news is scarce enough in Washington to permit public debut for even the idest thoughts of Congressmen. But, under present circumstances interim discussion of nfationary proposals is bit upsetting. The Federal budget re- mains to be balanced. At the next session of Con- gress imitation may present itself easy way out of additional taxation
 Currency Imitation has not been in the foreground of congressional consideration since cash payment of the soldiers bonus approved. During the bonus fight the simple" means of paying off the $2000, 100000 worth of adjusted service certificates by just printing that much currency received notably strong support There have been subsequent temptations to finance extraordinary expenditures by the eXpedent of starting up the Bureau of Engraving presses but the imitation bloc made little headway in that drec tion That may have been due in part to the essenng of the influence of Father Charles E. Coughlin In greater part of course, it due to wider realization that it best not to play with the nations pecunary machine in the face of recovery.
 It is to be expected that everyone is not patient with the orderly processes of recovery and that are eager to try shortcut methods. Their influence however is small in times when the orderly processes of recovery are giving general satisfaction.
 The danger that the United States might embark upon disastrous inflatonary would be negl- gble Federal fiscal affairs better in hand If

Christian Science

A message from the mother
church, First Church of Christ,
Scientist, at Boston follows:
while many Christian nations
are at peace 'u-ing this Christmas
period, the whole Christian world
is bearing tremendous burdens OF
the costs Of selfishneSs and war
It seems well, therefore, at this
time to consider a statement by
Mary Baker Eddy which outlines
the essentials Of a world conStitu.
ton which would insure peace and
prosperity to all mankind. She
says:
"'One infinite God, good, uni
fieS men and nations; consti-
tutes the brotherhood of man;
ends wars; fulfils the Scripture,
Love thy neighbor as thyself";
annihilates pagan and Christian
idolatry, whatever is wrong in
social, civil, criminal, political,
and religious codes; equalizes
the sexes: annuls the curse on
man, and leaves nothing that
can sin, suffer, be punished or
destroyed"
