CITIZENS FIGHT
MEMORIAL AT
TIDAL BASIN
BY A. J. DRIsCOLL

OppoSlClon TO the I1Qal Basin
site for the Thomas jefferson
Memorial, with a recommendation
that the memorial be placed at
the end of East Capitol Street in
the form of public stadium, was
voiced by Mrs. F. T. Burgess and
adopted by the Randle Highlands
Citizens Association last night.
Continued selection Of the
northwest section for monuments
and public buildings has created
q serious traffic problem, and the
city is becoming unbalanced in It's
development, it was charged.
Legislation providing an income
tax, increase in the motor fuel
tax, and taxing Of automobiles
according to weight, was declared
unnecessary If the Federal Gov
eminent would assume its pro
portionate share toward maintain
ing the District.
Backs Parking Lot Tax
The association approved q tax
on parking lots equal to the
amount lost by improvements
and tabled a bill placing an excise
tax on stores. Resolutions were
adopted favoring establishment OF
q small claims court.
A. w. Lee, president, protested
the House deletion of the appro-
priation for q new Pennsylvania
Avenue bridge, and told of efforts
to be made before the Senate sub
committee with other civic and
business groups to have the ap-
preparation restored. 1t was pointed
out that the maximum load over
the present bridge had been re-
duced to 10000 pounds, excluding
certain pieces of fire apparatus
and trucking.
A. F.. E. Scheer, president of the
Northeast Council of Citizens AS
sociations, spoke on civic develop
ment. Elected to membership
were q. z. Pray, H. M. Boley, e.
r. Binnix, r. E. Butler and H.
Cooke, increasing the roster to
304.
BrOOkIand Group Elects
With the exception of naming q
secretary, to be voted on at the
May meeting, the Brooklapd Citi-
ZenS Association last night reelected
incumbent officers. They are: Mar
win M. Mclean, president: DR..
George r. Ellis, vice president,
add w. M. Coffman, treasurer,
with Mclean and Ellis delegates
to the Federation of Citizens AS
sociationS.
Approved were Representative
Ross Collins tax bills providing
an increase of / cent in the gaso-
line tax, taxing Of automobiles by
weight, an inheritance tax and an
increase from 4 to 5 per cent Of
gross receipts Of all public utilities.
The association reaffirmed its
request for o 16-room Brookland
school, and asked that Kearney
Street, from Tenth Street to Six
tenth STREET, and Otis Street, from
Twelfth Street to Sixteenth Street,
be improved.
Taxes Are Burleith Topic
The Burleith Citizens Associa-
ton last night registered oppoSi-
ton to any legislation that would
establish q tax fund in excess of
1858 requirements. It disapproved
any attempt to abolish the Receiv-
ing Home for Children by substi-
tuting a system of private homes
for the wards.
Opposition also was voted to
the proposed transfer Of District
school Fairgrounds to the Cob
munity Center Department.

MAKE HASTE CAREFULLY

We listened to President ROOsevelts fresde chat to
the citizens Of the nation the other evening He have heard
other arguments the sub he presented namely
the enlargement of the United States Supreme Court Most
of these have clearly presented the position of the "new
deal' on court expansion and most of them have been
interesting
But we have remained unconvnced and so have many
other citizens with whom have discussed the SUBJECT
First all arguments that crisis exists and that the
salvation of the nation depends upon early action this
highly controversial subject seem bit overdrawn. Only
few months ago the Presidents supporters telling
us that he had brought us through the crisis that the de-
preston was defeated that the rising tide of business
covery justified his policies all this was true then sure
ly there is crisis today and if there is crisis now
there should be need for great speed changing the
fundamental form Of our government.
Second, the implication that the same reactionary
forces which opposed every progressive step of the new
dea are the only forces which oppose this court plan is
contrary to fact We need merely cite the vigorous oppos
ton to the program offered by Senator Burton K Wheel
er who was the running mate of the original Robert NJ La
Toilette back in 1924 He could hardly be called reaction
ary. There other progressves who are equally out
spoken in their opposition to the plan.
Unquestonably this scheme would make the judiciary
subservent to the executive department OF our govern
ment It would destroy that careful balance of power in
our Government which the trainers Of the constitution
studied hard to create It might lead to the even
tual destruction Of constitutional system.
Times change. Other men Of different economic and
social views will day occupy the high office Of Pre-
sident of the United States Will they all be careful to
preserve protect and defend the liberties Of the people
which guaranteed in the constitution?
This change in the court is not for a month for
year. is for all time. 1t represents great departure
from past tradition.
AS we survey conditions abroad must agree that
We have done pretty we'll with the American plan of gov
ernment We should be careful before make any vital
and fundamental change in the system

. President Trujillo receives strangers
rather coolly until he knows something Of
their mission. Then he warns up and
talks to his callers as though they were old
friends.
OF medium height, he has q strong face,
whose white skin has been tanned by years
of work in the tropical sun, first as =
farmer, then as a soldier, and again as q
soldier. He has dark brown eyes, steel gray
hair and is immaculate in white linen rid
ing breeches and boots. His culture cannot
be doubted, and his manners are letter
perfect. He thinks quickly and speaks with
. firmness that marks him as q leader Of
men.
Born in this little village 46 years ago.
the son Of wealthy farmer, he quit school
in his high school years and went into the
farming business. He loved books and
spent his evenings reading and studying.
Joined National Guard.
In 1917 he became interested in the mill
tary and joined the National Guard Of
the Dominican Republic, then under juris-
diction' Of the United States Marine Corps.
He was commissioned q second lieutenant
and became q favorite Of the United
States Marine officers in the country.
Promotion was rapid, and he became
commander in chief Of the armed forces.
Seven years ago he reached the presidency
and has held it ever since. He says the
American marines taught him much, and
he is proud Of the fact that he still carries
on personal correspondence with many ma
rine officers.
Next year probably he will be reelected
more years The campaign for his re-
election Is under way now, and, with un-
usual frankness, the 1898 election u called
'the reelection" In Ill posters and DEM

]ujiHo, Man of Steel
Dominican President Calm During Strife.
BY EDMUND CHESTER.

BY EDMUND CHESTER.
CAN CR1sTOBAL, Dominican Republic
Correspondence Of the Associated
- Press).-1n the midst Of war scare
that has sent the people Of Haiti and
the Dominican Republic into a state of
near hysteria, Rafael L. Trujillo, doctor,
generalissimo, president of the Dominican
Republic and strong man Of the West In
dies, stands calm and serene.
He appears to have the normal interest
OF leader whose people have been accused
OF killing 5000 aliens in two months. He
is q man of steel. He Is man. of dis
cipline. He applies that discipline to his
own life as rigidly as he does to his $500, 900
people.
For the last seven years the name Of
Trujillo has been creeping into the news of
the world. He has become topic of con-
versation throughout the West Indies and
in the United States.
It is easy, from long range. to visualize
President Trujillo as a tyrant, but it is
dificult to retain that opinion once you
meet and talk with the man. His method
Of ruling may. be subject to debate, but
there is no argument about the personality
and power of this farm boy who lifted
himself to the head Of his country by his
unusual driving force.
Nor can his firmness be doubted.
Good Offices" Accepted.
He took q stand of mo outside help
wanted" in the controversy with Haiti, but
later agreed to accept good offices" Of
United States, Mexican and Cuban arbitra-
tors.
(The Dominican strong man came
to power in the 1890 revolution and
in an ensuing election was named
President, q post he has held unin-
terruptedly since. Many of Tru-
jillo.se political enemies went into
exile after his election and strict
press censorship was imposedo
Seated on the porch of his farm house
here, 20 miles west of Ciudad Trujillo, the
nations capital, President Trujillo pre-
ferred to talk about his $500 head Of Hol-
stein cattle or about the public works pro-
gram Of his government than about the
charges that his people were killing Hal
tians in the Dominican Republic in "an
explosion Of bloody and needless hate"
This thing Is purely local incident and
our judiciary power is investigating It," he
said.
"Must Show No Fear"
Switching the conversation from war to
political philosophy, the handsome ruler
said: "A man in my position must have
no fear. personal or otherwise. He must
have courage for the sake of his country.

Experts Estimate Revenue Gain
Yearly May Amount to
$50, 100 600.

By the Associated Prsss.
The Nations railroads received au-
ttority yesterday to increase freight
rates tomorrow on hundreds Of COM
modities. Tranic experts estimated
unonlcailly the increases would mean
$15,000,o00 to 100000 Of added

With five exceptions, the Interstate
Commerce Commission ordered into
effect long list Of tariffs filed by the
railroads. These are in addition to
increases authorized by the commits
sion October 10 on commodities falling
into the so-called heavy loading classi-
fication.
The heavy loading increases, which
included commodities such as coal,
were estimated to yield the railroads
347 500, 900 annually.
Commodities on which higher rates
will become effective tomorrow include
fresh meat and packing products. This
increase will be 1 cents q hundred.
Among the other increases allowed
were 3 cents on long hauls Of sugar

DR.. Marti Ends Lectures.
The Christmas season is bringing

Brief sketches of the pictures in
this weeks set follow:
THE Blue Oak" by Derain Q880-)-
Andre Derain, the great experimental
ist OF today, served seven years in the
French Army. four Of which were in
the World War. During this time
he did not paint single picture.
When he returned to painting, the
restlessness of the war years found
its way into his work. He turned
from classicism to cubism to impress
sionism and back to classicism. This
landscape shows how he has gotten
away from the naturalistic representa-
ton.
Motherhood" by Picasso 1881-)-.
This painting is typical OF the blue
period" of this modern master, who
has been called the weathercock of
modern art, for every time he changed
his style, thousand imitators changed
theirs. Succeeding the blue period"
there was rose period" and SUBJ
sequently ''cubstic period" Though
the last was borrowed from the cub
lists he is considered the father OF
cubism."

originators Of the 'modernist move
ment." The world that laughed at
him in 1905, stopped nevertheless to
look, and later to buy-at increasing
prices-until today he Is one of the
richest living artists.
Blue Horses" by Marc (18s7-1s1s)
When Franz Marc was killed In &C.
ton in March, 1916. In France, one
Of the most significant figures Of the
German expressionist school Of paint,
ing was lost to art. The expressionists
are unconcerned with the natural ap-
pearance Of things and in some cases
have carried distortion to the point
Of delirium. His horses are violently
red and green and blue and they re-
tain just enough reality to give mean
ing to his beautifully designed COM
positions.
