Why Must WE Pay?

IN THESE days of higher taxes there is lot Of COM
i mon sense in the report of Corporation Counsel Ell
wood Seal.
One recommendation in particular would save the
District taxpayers 2500OO year. This provides
that nonresident school children be forced to pay tut
ton fees.
The Board of Education admits there are now some
5000 boys and girls who to the District from Mary
land and Virginia to go to school.
Why should we who live in the District be compelled
Wbv Sho,vJ Wo to bear the burden of paying for
80 the schooling of these children?
De" '"e CO0'' Under Seals recommendation,
the District would collect from $61 to $258 year for
each of these children.
Another suggestion is that the present setup of
the coroners office be changed, with Medical Exam
iner replacing the coroner and coroners jury
The Medical Examiner would be called into action in
cases involving violent DEATH and would work directly
with the police obviating the need of lengthy nquests
and working for efficient solution of crime.
Still another suggestion that is worth consideration
uocItb Enrnn is establishment of health farm
for inebriates. At the present time
FW i"eOT'"'eS these unfortunates are sentenced
to terms in District JAIL and no attempt made to cure
their failing rehabitate them.
Such farm would prepare these victims, men and
women, to perform useful work and might prevent

Youth is NOT heartless! It

pity before the spectacle of
pain. The Christ-cnild's own
tenderness lies in these letters
we print today.
From 21-year-old Russell
DEMPSEY HOLMES. of NEW
YORK CITY, comes this un-
usual and most blessed gift:
"a CITY OF THEIR OWN
FOR TUBERCULOSIS VIC
TINS, WHERE THEY CAN
WORK AND PLAY, LIVE,
LOVE ANT HOPE. WITH
OUT JEOPARDIZING
OTHERS, OR THEIR OWN
HEALTH.
"a place where those who
were not entirely helpless
could support their families
and themselves, and not depend
on charity. This city would
have industrial plants and pro-
grams especially adapted to
the needs of the tubercu1ar,
with rest periods and milk pro-
vided. There would be govern
ment built homes with low
rents.
"Give them pleasure and
pride and proper work and a
decent position socially, and
the depression which is the
most deadly of tuberculosis
would soon be wiped out"
That's truly the spirit of

Scores of pleas came for
"SOCIALIZED MEDICINE" as
a New Years gift for America.

suggestions, such as this one

But now there is no such un-
pleasant welcome. We have just
received pictures and a descrip-
ton of the new pier and break
water which extends into the
sea in long Lrshaped bend,
making it easy for steamers to
land their passengers in any
weather.
And if you have bathed off
Capri. you will recognize how
the breakwater protects swim
mers from the waves which
storms send sweeping onto the
beach. AnG the weather and
water do get rough around
Capri.
We have known times when
the water was too rough for
steamers to diSembark pas
sengers.
LOVELY PLACE
The new protection for the
harbor is a 100-meter rock-bed-
ded pier extended from the end
Of the old wharf. parallel to the
shore, into the water, making
the pier nearly a quarter of a
mile in length. So, if you have
heard about the unhappy land
ings at Capri, don't stay away
should your itinerary include a
stay in southern Italy.
Otherwise you will miss one
of the lovelieSt places on earth.
Not for nothing does the Isle Of
Capri draw crowds of tourists
all seasons of the year, and not
for nothing has its beauty been
painted by artists from all over
the world.

Up to the Engineers

From 1910 to 1880 the popula-
ton of the United States in
creased from 90 million to 1913
million, which is practically one
third,
Of the "gainfully employed"
in 1910 more than IL million
were engaged in agriculture. By
the same ratio the number in
agriculture should be about 16
million in 1880. The census Of
1880 shows only a little over 10
million so employed.
In other words, we had two
million fewer farmers to feed
80 million more people. That
was seven years ago, and our
surplus food supply is now in
creasing so rapidly that the
whole nation is in stew to
know what to do about 1t.
Paying farmers for doing moth
ing is not a good idea. If the
Government must spend money
to meet this situation, and if
our economists cannot think Of
anything useful for the dis
placed farmers to do, then they
might put some engineers and
inventors on the job.
Apparently, the engineers and
inventors have brought on the
present trouble, and it would not
be unreasonable to ask them to
solve the problem. c. L. K.
The Washington times., 1937-12-29

Capri offers beauty. Sit under
the palms of the hotel terrace
and there, between bushes and
flcwer.laden boughs, and you
see the harbor dotted with lit
tie boats.
Look up to the mountain and
amidst groves Of green and you
see the ruins of temples and
palaces built by the Romans.
Walk through the little town
and you'll discover arcaded pas
ssgeways. reminiscent of the
Middle Ages. connecting beau
tlful villas. Other streets are
steep stairways that twist up
the hillside between thick walls
covered with plants.
At Capri there is the 40
minute boat ride or a short
speedboat dash to the Blue
Grotto, a journey into another
and more beautiful world. The
grotto is a cave which tunnels
$50 feet into the rocky wall Of
a cliff, a job skilfully done by
time. The entrance is an aper-
ture just large enough for skiff
or speedboat to shoot through
if the tide isn't too high.

offer a token as regards existing
war debt" Each season, Of
course, finds the message altered
slightly, but ever employing
the same old welching tactics,
when It comes to anteing up her
share.
The writer loves to recall a
sentence employed by the late
President Calvin Coolidge, when
that frugal New England gentle
man occupied the No. One chair.
It was during a White House
conference when representatives
of the defaulting nations con-
vened for the purpose Of seeking
adjustments in payments.
Listening attentively during
the discussion amidst the squab-
bling of statesmen who were
meticuiously at work hacking
away the figures, one foreign
gentleman conceived the bril-
liant idea of asking the Silent
One" to offer an opinion in re-
gard to the subject matter.
Without formal presidential ado,
Mr.. Coolidge sternly remarked.
"They hired the money, didn't
they? Now let them pay it."
Whether or not that was the
monkeywrench tossed into the
conference machinery, ! wouldn't
know, but this fact does remain,
there have been few if any such
gatherings in recent years.
There are many Americans
who share the same thought as
President Coolidge. That war
borrowing was engineered in the
best of faith and in a sense it
is a complete breach of contract.
One does not necessarily have
to be equipped with legal mind
to reach that conclusion. We
came to the aid Of the warning
nations when they were flat on
their backs, both from q finan-
The Washington times., 1937-12-29

cial and military standpoint. It
was through the resources Of this
country that ultimately victory
was made possible for those
nations who are now giving us
the run-around.
There is one thought that
should remain paramount in the
minds Of all of us who love this
land Of freedom, "that war from
which these debts resulted was
not of our making" Our net
gain from the entire unwhole-
some mess might be summed up
in q popular phrase 'Uncle Sam
was left holding the bag"

or remote. I would place these
Iron Lungs in care of the COM
munity leaders, to be munich
pally cared for, as we now care
for our fire-fighting apparatus
e. to be preserved and
cherished.
And my joy would be full
when the various mayors, presi-
dents and civic managers
pledged themselves to con-
tinually add more respirators as
needed-so that no child ever
need suffer or perish for lack
of this heaven-sent instrument
in our battle against infantile
paralysis!"
What gift that would be to
broken-hearted mothers and
fathers and pitiful, strangling
little ones!
Then, from a young wife,
this plea-PAINLESS CHILD
BIRTH FOR ALL MOTHERS.
Such would be the gift to this
nation of HARRIET SWAYZE,
of ALLENTOWN, PA. if she
were Santa Claus.
Modern science" says she.
"has several methods for reliev.
ing the agony most women
suffer, yet only comparatively
few benefit by their knowledge.
How wonderful it would be if
every mother could be placed in
that lovely, relaxed, semi-con-
scious state, and awake-not
exhausted, but fresh and
buoyant-to find her baby born.
''If I had my way, every
American mother would be
placed in the hands of a COM
petent, thoroughly trained and
sympathetic doctor long before
her baby was to come. And
such doctors should be avail
able everywhere, for even the
poorest and most isolated"
And a million mothers will
rise and call you blessed for
that, my dear.

Jackson for Governor

AO1 NJ
n OBERT H. JACKSON and the attack he made on
II monopoes this week merit further scrutiny
from two points of view.
l. In launching the antitrust drive and in drawing
fine line of distinction between big business and
small business, Mr. Jackson was known to have been
speaking for the President.
. Mr. Jackson is far more important cog in New
Deal machinery than his official position Assistant
Attorney General indicates. Not only is he the chief
pillar of the Justice Department, but also the man
Roosevelt would like to next governor Of New
York-wth all that implies for the future.
Mr. Jacksons words, therefore, represent some
thing of an insight to Roosevelt policies, and his per-
A.. vo.1 Do,;t;,o sonality a key to New York
bddty M"00'e0 As far as New York City
goes those politics probably are muddled
than the economic situation which Mr. Jackson dis
sected For the machine which ruled it in so high
handed manner is dethroned and there is free
for-a fight among its woud-be successors.
Among other things-Governor Lehmans wife
wants him to vacate that Job and for the Senate
Her big banker brother Frank Altschul, wants to
run Senator Wagner for the governorship. Mean
while one wing of the LaGuardia Progressives is talk
ing about Roosevelt Brain Truster Adolf Berle, the
Republicans actively grooming Tom Dewey, and
Jim Farlev-awavs the loyal machine man-still
clings to the forlorn hope that something may be
patched together from the wreckage that was Tam
many.
How complete was that wreckage indicated the
other dav when $8O0OO,OOO receivershp came up
before Manhattan court without the Wigwam know
uu ing it in advance. There were
u"'Ht"'g u"~ 400 jobs involved-and all
mas LOST l'S O''P capped Tammany domination.
Such an oversight never would have happened in the
old days, and illustrates how completely the Tiger
has lost its grip.
Tammany is dead and Roosevelt never can go back
to it or even remotely to what it stood for, if
Jim Farley wants him to.
Furthermore the quicker Roosevelt lets it be known
publicly what he has already indicated privately
that Jackson is his man-the healthier it will be for
New Deal politics in the largest of all electoral States,
and the one providing the best springboard to the
Presidency.
Jackson has the advantage Of being upstate
New Yorker therefore able to pull votes west of the
Hudson. At the same time he and the LaGuardia
forces in New York City all belong to the mutual
admiration club. They will pull together.
Thus through Jackson the President has chance
to build up a new Democratic organization in New
York City, and bring into it all the progressives who
went with LaGuarda last November, including the
Little Flower himself
If the President is anxious he has told friends
he will have to begin early.
And New York is the most important key to the
entire political situation.
