other girls and boys in merry
moods.

the stairway of the Mexican
Embassy, with its garish

and the seventeenth birthday
anniversary of their daugh-
ter, Erma.

POLITICAL LIFE
DUE FOR BABY

Hugh Peterson, jr., is only 1S
months old, but his destiny ap-
pears to be inevitably political.
Young Hugh is the son of Repre-
sentative Hugh Peterson CD Of
Georgia, and Mrs. Peterson, the
former Miss Patience Elizabeth
Russell, whose family is also quite
political.
Besides his father, young Hugh
has a grandfather who is chief
justice of the Georgia supreme
court, an uncle who is United
States Senator Richard B. Russell,
jr., and another uncle, w. J.Peter-
son, who is a Georgia State Sena-
tor.
Hugh, jr., having been born dur
ing the Seventy-fourth Congress,
caused considerable change in the
office Of his father on Capitol Hill.
Representative Peterson, until the
birth of his son, was Hugh, jr. But
when his heir was born, he had to
change all his stationery.

D. E. TAXES TOP
18 STATES

Although the District of Colum-
bia has less than one-half of one
per cent Of the population Of the
United States, residents here paid
a greater amount in income taxes
during the fiscal year ending last
June 80 than was the case in 18
States.
This revelation came today from
the Treasury Department in the
annual report of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue on the va
riouS collections made by his Of
flee from July /, 1885, to June 80,
1886.
The report disclosed that Wash
ington, many of whose citizens are
now aroused over prospects Of in
creases in local taxation, paid more
in income taxes to the Federal
Government than many States
having greater population, includ-
ing Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Kan
sas, Louisiana, Maine, Tennessee,
Washington and West Virginia.
Comparison of the total taxes
paid by the District and individ'
ual States is difficult, observers
pointed out, because the figures
would then include agricultural
adjustment collections. of which
the District assumed a small share
even though it's residents received
practically no benefits from the
AAA. Other taxes in this cate
CORY are the manufacturers ex
else tax, distillers' taxes, tobacco
taxes collected from manufacture
ers and others.
Assuming that the District has
a population of $4,000, the Treas.
ury report shows that it paid $11,'
$50, 900 in income taxes, $6,150,O00
in miscellaneous taxes and $22,'
18O in agricultural adjustment
collections,

INAUGURATION
PARADE PLAN
COMPLETED
January 20 Will See
Music and Marchers
In 4-Hour Fete

Everything was ready today for
the New Deal to take its second
stride down Pennsylvania Avenue
and into the WWhite House.
With the second Inauguration
Of President Franklin D. Roosevelt
only 10 days away, completion of
plans for pomp and ceremony on
the new day on which future chap
ters of American history will begin
January 20-was announced Of
ficially today by Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson, retired, chairman
of the general inaugural commit
tee.
Record Inaugural
1t will be a grand inaugural with
precedents being broken right and
left.
The date Of the inaugural is the
first precedent. Remember when
it was March 4?
Secondly, when President RooSe-
velt leaves the White House to be
sworn in at the solemn ceremonies
inducing him into his second
term as Chief Executive, he will
be accompanied, not by a squad
of cavalry, but by local motorcycle
police, in whose sidecarS will sit
Army buglers to blow a fanfare
for the New Deal and traffic
safety.
Just Before Noon
This event will occur sometime
between 11:40 and 11:50 a. M, be-
cause President Roosevelt must be
on the Presidential platform at
the Capitol at noon to be given
his oath of office by Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes. A moment
before the oath of office will be
administered to Vice President
John Nance Garner.
BY that time, the entire Sen
ate and House, officers of the
Cabinet, members of the Supreme
Court, ambassadors and minis
terS from foreign countries, the
governors of the States of the
Union, and commanding officers
of the country's military arms,
will have taken their places to
watch the event.
Luncheon Follows
When the President has taken
the oath, he will deliver his in
augural address and then, with
the Vice President will return to
the White House, where he will
have lunch with dignitarieS, ma
tional committeeman, governors
and their wives, and inaugural
leaders.
AS the President dimes, the units
of the inaugural parade - that
march of men which will bring
overflowing crowds to Washing
ton-will be forming South of the
Capitol, and at 1870 p. M, the
parade will start, swinging past
stands on the east front of the

Ken Murray
Says:

When you read the terrific
incomes on which the movie
stars had to pay taxes in 1885
you realize what a high mark
that Hollywood gang has to
shoot at in 1887. NOw'S the
time when all good actresses
should pay more attention to
the ledger and less to the diary.
With Mae West and Marlene
Dietrich finishing One-twO for
the highest earnings, it's easy
to see that those tax gentlemen
also prefer blondes. OF course,
in order not to show so much
income, many Of the male stars
are now supporting a stable of
racehOrses, a string Of prize
fighters or a flock of ex-wives.
Naturally, Walt Disney was way
up on the list of big carriers.
Just goes to show that the
world will beat a pathway to
your box office if you build a
better mouse.

so Pct. Tax Boost to
Bring Capital Vote
Issue to Fore

Declaring that the fiscal rela-
i tions report is "the most inn
portant thing that ever happened
to Washington" Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New
Jersey, chairman of the House
District Committee, announced
today that her committee will
hold hearings on the recommends
tions contained in the report as
soon as possible.
Although she declined to com.
ment on the report itself on the
grounds that she had not yet
studied it thoroughly, Mrs. Norton
said that as soon as her commit
tee is organized, she will appoint
two special subcommittee to
study "a legislative proposals con-
tained in the report, which re-
duce Federal contribution to the
District by so per cent.
ArOuses Citizens
Mrs. Norton said:
"This report is important II
only for the fact that it has
finally aroused the people Of the
District to the realization that
they need local self government
and the power to legislate their
own taxes"
She said that she will appoint
one subcommittee to consider legis-
lative proposals contained in the
report and another to study five
tax proposals.
Together for the first time since
the Budget Bureaus Endorsements
for the 1888 fiscal year budget
and the stunning report and rec
concentrations Of the Presidents
fiscal relations committee were
made public last week, the Dis
trict Commissioners today planned
a conference with Auditor Daniel
J. Donovan to chart the city'S po-
Sition when the two reports come
up for congressional consideration.
Donovan Silent
Pending complete study Of the
two reports, the Commissioners
were non-committal. Over the
weekend Auditor Donovan spent
hours in intensive study of the fis-
cal report, but declined today to
comment on it.
The Commissioners will work to
have Congress reject entirely the
report and recommendation of
the committee, it is understood,
and to have Congress continue
with the Federal lump sum pay
ment system, but along more lib
eral lines.
OF particular Importance to the
Commissioners was the prospect of
a SO per cent increase in the cur
rent tax levels to meet an esti-
mated deficit Of $4,000, 900 at the
close of the fiscal year.
Tax Boost Imminent
A raise in the tax levels appears
imminent, but the sources of taxes
will depend upon the amount of
the Federal payment to the Dis
trict in the 1888 budget. The de-
ficit, in the event the current S.
100000 lump sum is continued,
would be cut to 100000.
