JEFFERSON PLAN HIT
Restaurant Men Oppose Memorial
at Tidal Basin.

The directors of the WASHINGTON
Restaurant Association voiced yie-
orous opposition yesterday to location
OF the Thomas Jefferson Memorial on
the proposed site at the Tidal Basin,
declaring they believe the present
plan would cause an irreparable loss
to one OF the Capitals most beautiful
parks.
The restaurateurs pointed out the
plan would call for destruction of
most OF the cherry trees around the
basin, which would be tremendous
esthetlc, as well as economic and
commercial, loss to the city"
The directors said other locations
could be obtained which would be
more suitable for the memorial.

MAY sEGREGATE CRUDE

Kelvin operators are convinced
that the high grwaity oil of the
west flank will shortly command
a premium over lower gravity
crude elsewhere in Kevin-Sun-
burst field. Such a premium can
not be paid until the oil can be
segregated in the pipeline. So
luton to this problem is sadd TO
be afforded by the fact that IN
ternational Refining cOmpany's
Cut Bank e-aneh line 10 SunIbnrst
runs through the heart of the
west flank pool. Since this oil
is similar in quality to Cut Bank
crude, 1t is not impossible, op-
orators say, that international
will put in gathering lines and
take the high gravity crude in
their Gut Bank line.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Practical knowledge often is Of more
value in the everyday life than any
amount Of theory.
Even as wise n.an as Emerson
found that out once, when he attempted
to lead a calf.
The animal refused to bulge.
Americas philosopher tugged and
heaved on the rope. but the creature
would not move an inch.
A servant girl, seeing the great lee
turer's dilemma, came to his rescue.
Deity she inserted her finger in the
calls mouth.
Thinking 1t was getting fed the animal
placidly followed in the wake OF the
practical person.
Emerson often referred to this Incl
dent. since he had a very great admira-
ton for practical persons.
The greatest admirer OF such persons,
Of course, is the theorist, who likes to
think about things, and how they should
turn out, but who is always the first
to admit the value Of anything that
really works.
This column recently gave some very
good advice to lady with a garden
pool to which came a neighbor's cat
a-fishing.
The lady found better way, how
ever, and this is the way she did it:
When the cat came creeping up to
the pool, the lady went creeping after
it, and. before the astonished cat knew
what had happened to it, had picked up
the animal and suspended it over the
water.
Then she let it drop.
Xxx
This practical expedient seems to have
worked so we'll that the cat, from being
| an everyday visitor, has not been back
at the pool since.
The splash the animal made in the
water evidently was as nothing COM
pared with the jolt it received in It's
own mind.
Whether psychology or physiology
played the greatest part in this cure
must remain a question.
Maybe we had better ask the cat.

terday's triumphal termination Of the
flight OF the three Russian aviators from
Moscow to Vancouver Is 4 case in point.
The achievement was marvellous. No
question can be raised about that. Yet,
viewed in relation to other enterprises
of similar character, 1t is seen to be
correlated to something far more won-
derful than itself. Travelling fifty-two
hundred miles through the air in sixty
three hours is part of the all-inclusive
victory which, slowly but steadily, the
population Of troubled planet Is win
ming. Not totally unique. the journey
is symptom Of the power Of the people
Of the world to read the riddles of their
existence. BY the exercise OF a like
degree OF intelligence far more stubborn
problems can be solved. In other words
the truth-the basic, elemental reality
may be negotiated by any who seek
1t wisely and courageously.

Judge Killets' Decision
In the Toledo Auto Strike

To the Editor OF The Star:
A number OF years ago there was a
strike at the WHY'S Overland Automo-
bile Co. in Toledo, Ohio The company
made application to Federal Judge Kill
lets for an injunction against strikers
interfering with the operation of their
plant as interference with interstate
commerce. Federal Judge Killets, in
handing down his decision, stated that
"Workmen had right to strike. but did
not have the right to interfere with
interstate commerce; also that work.
men had right to peaceful picketing"
He then described peaceful picketing as
follows: Not more than eight men
could be stationed at each gate OF en-
trance to the plant. These men must be
employees Of the company and certified
to the court as to name and employe by
the company. Each picket must have
his picture and name on q celluloid
button and wear same on the outside of
his coat.
"As workmen arrived for work the
pickets could inform them that a strike
was on against the plant and ask them
not to enter, but they could not intimi-
date them in any way, not even SO much
as calling them scabs."
The Judge appointed Percy c. Jones to
represent the court at the plant to see
that the order of the court was carried
out to the letter. In less than month
after the judge issued his injunction, 80
per cent of all workmen were back on the
job and there was not even one worker
molested. Before injunction was granted
workmen were dubbed and even pulled
off of street cars and beaten by the
strikers. This decision has never been
reversed and stands as the law now in
regard to strikes.

giving some attention to the interests Of
the taxpayer who thus far seem to have
received the least consideration. The
business privilege tax bill, as written and
passed by the House, appears to be one
Of the most inequitable bills 80 far de-
vised. This is apparently due to the
way 1t was drawn because the same prin-
ciple-though with markedly different
application-has been adopted with
apparent success In some OF the States
which prefer to raise = part Of their
revenue by this form OF sales tax.
Chairman King Of the Senate District
Committee has shown his usual courtesy
and consideration by inviting the Com
missioners and any citizens with whom
they wish to confer to prepare a pro-
gram OF local taxation that would be as
fair as possible and to suggest remedial
amendments to the bill that passed the
House
In this connection. 1t is to be remem-
bered that the purpose OF the tax bill is
to raise revenue-not to impose new po-
litical theories on the people OF the Dis
trict. Taxation should be based on eco
nomic and not political considerations,
especially when the people to be taxed
have no opportunity to express their own
political convictions.
II the business privilege-gros re-
ceipts tax is to remain in the bill, the
obvious step now is to study the expert
ence OF the States which have adopted
this form OF taxation and to model the
District law on the best of those in force
in the States, with some consideration to
the nature of the businesses taxed and
the ability OF the taxpayers to carry the
extra load. The House bill is reported
to have been thrown together almost
overnight. 1t has every appearance of
having been drafted by that process.

thing. Cats having been catching things
since there were cats.
At the shrine Of the great god Bast in
Egypt OF the ancients, live mouse was
an acceptable sacrifice. Before the huge
image Of the cat goddess one Of her
miniature creatures caught q mouse,
and 1t was offered up or the altar by
humans, who perhaps understood little
more Of what they were doing than the
cat or the goddess.

There are many practical ways Of
solving problems of the everyday.
Persons Of goodwill should take their
time, as the lady who doused the cat
did, and study out a good way to solve
them.
Get all the facts. If possible Consider
all sides df any human can do that and
select the method which is the best
under the circumstances.
Another one OF these things, "easier
said than DONE" undoubtedly, but the
gain will be that for the thinking per-
son a way may be selected which holds
the least cruelty.
There never was q time in the his
tory OF the world when a banding to-
gether Of those who believe in kindness
was more In order. In all nations people
Of goodwill are confronted with the
spectacle of return to savagery.

In the meantime perhaps something
can be done by simply continuing the
ways Of peace and sticking to one IS

II one thinks a word or deed cruel it

Modern sophistry has made many

emotions.
