CITIZENS VOTE
INVESTIGATION
OF D. E. TAXES
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor


The Southeast Citizens Associa-
ton, at a meeting last night in the
the Fifth Precinct Police Station,
directed appointment of a special
committee to investigate and re-
port at the May meeting on the
manner by which employees Of the
Tax Assessors office determine
property vaueS in the District.
The committee also will inquire
whether any extra effort is being
made to collect delinquent taxes.
The committee members are Yer
mis- Absher, Cecil C. Glen and c.
v. DeSSig.
The entire tax situation was the
subject of report by President
William A. Maio, who referred to
the increased sales for the non
payment of taxes, and the means
employed by tax dodgers in trans
ferring active bank accounts to
saving accounts when making
tax returns to avoid payment OF
just taxes.
Relief Allotment Hit
On motion by Mr.. Absher, the
association approved the action
taken by the Executive Committee
of the Board of Trade and Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, in op-
posing any additional allotment OF
public funds for public relief other
than the $1,400,000 recommended
by the Budget Bureau.
Resolutions were adopted and or
dered sent to Senator Elmer
Thomas Of the Appropriations
Committee, urging return to the
District supply bill, an item of
$4,000 for continuing public school
gardens, that had been stricken
from the bill of the House. On mo-
ton by Orrin Davey, Captain JOS
eph C. Morgan, of the fifth pre-
cinct was Endorsed for promotion
as inspector.
Miss Theresa D. MCGEE, of the
District tuberculosis Association,
said that deaths in the District
from tuberculosis averaged 102 per
100000, while those in the States
were only 54 for the same number
of residents, and told of efforts to
be made to examine all school chill
dren.
Logan Thomas Circle
The Logan-Thomas Circle Citi-
zens Association last night passed
resolutions favoring an increase
of l cent in the gasoline tax. and
a sales tax levy on tobacco, to help
meet the anticipated District
deficit.
Another resolution vigorously op-
posed the Tidal Basin site for the
Thomas jefferson Memorial.
A. N. Shape, Of Good Will In
duStries, spoke.
The meeting was held at 1920
Rhode Island Ave. N. W., with Mrs.
Ella M. Thompson, president, pre-
siding.
The Benning Citizens Associa-
ton. at last nights meeting in Odd
Fellows Hall, petitioned the Com
missioners to establish a tempo
rary cross walk at the Benning via
duct during present improvements,
as protection to school children.

Whenever a crisis looms in en-

1t is particularly wondered why
the order was directed at the Civil
Service Commission, when the
commission has direct supervision
of less than 10 per cent of the
service. An executive order would
have been more appropriate, some
officials believe, but even that
would have constituted an unprec-

questionable constitutionality.
Most departments now have

Weather and insects have re- duced crops in some foreign coun- tries; others have below-normal carryover because of previous small harvest. Some are no longer intent upon self-sufficiency in food production, having found this a more difficult and less de- sirable goal than 1t appeared to bo during the depression"
 Tariff Leveling Sought
 Many countries, the bureau said, are seeking leveling of tariff barriers, abandonment of subsidies and more open markets for most of the major crops. Lowering of wheat import duties in Germany. The Netherlands and Sweden were cited as examples.
 General world economic im- provement points to generally in- creased buying power," the bureau said. "This improvement, together with the decrease in import re- strictions, will lead to increased foreign demand for some agricul- tural commodities produced in the United States.
 Increased foreign production of some crops, such as cotton and tobacco, will prevent the United States from taking full advantage of the improved demand situation, the bureau said.

 Death

A letter from Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh praising the late Private William J. Reynolds was read at yesterdays meeting of the board of fire commissioners. The chief paid tribute to the late Herman as one who performed his duties conscien- tiously. The late private had been a regular gremAn since 1904.
 Chief Cavanaugll reported to the board that classes 4 in a regional school for firernen have been held in this city. The local classes, he said, are similar to those being giv- en in other stations of the state, under the supervision of the Con- i1ecticut Fire Chiefs association.

FARM EXPORTS
 LIKELY TO RISE
Very Marked Increase to Be Noted Over Recent
 Years Claim Experts !

Washington, (Up)--Exports of farm products from this years crops probably will show very marked increase" over recent years, accord ing to economists of the Department of Agriculture.
 Tn recent months there has been an increasing number of indications that the world trade situation has greatly improved" the bureau of agricultural economics said.
 This improvement, however, has not ye tbeen reflected in corre- spending improvement in export outlets for American farm prod- ducts, the bureau said. Exports of farm products declined steadily during the first six months of this year.
 Exports Far Below Peak
 Exports of farm products during June were only 47 per cent of the pre-war level. Exports of last years crops averaged 5 per cent of the pre-war level. Even with good crops this year exports are not expected to approach pre-war levels.
 "An increase in the volume of agricultural exports this year is expected, not only because of abundant crops in the United States, but because of limited harvests in many foreign countries and the generally favorable world trade situation" the. bureau said.

Industry Talks
Prepared by inc
The Voice of Industry

The selling voice of industry is adver- Using. Through advertising manu- lecturers and dealers present their wares to the public. Magazines, newspapers, radio, outdoor signs, and other mediums of advertising combine to give us this gi- gantic talking show window, in which is displayed the merchandise of the nation Home conveniences, smart styles, and recreation opportunities are shown along with food and other neceSSaries of life. The advertising voice tells us the merits of each article and describes new inven- tions that make life more interesting and pleasant.
 No army of salesmen could do the same job. Advertising makes the selling pro- cess efficient and quick. By no other means could industry distribute econo- mically it's huge production. Advertis- ing makes possible our wide spread of material wealth. It makes desirable goods available to those who would not know about them otherwise, and it re- duceS manufacturing costs by giving fac tories large sales volume. Tn this way advertising increases employment and purchasing power.
 Industry has made effective use of this powerful force, advertising. It is an in- tegral part of all business ard has had much to do with our splendid industrial progress. It must be properly used. of course, in order to merit the confidence of consumers
 With the help of good advertising and skillful technicians, American industry faces glowing future of service. With the continued approval and cooperation of the public, our industries stand ready to provide all of us with ever richer quo- tas of the good things of life. Advertis- ing will do it's part.

YOUNG BICYCLIST
 PAINFULLY HURT

Falls from a wall and bicycle injured two local children early last night.
 Joseph Balchunas, 13, of 107 James street, turned his bicycle against a high curbing on Con- gress avenue to avoid a tot who had run in front of his bicycle. He was thrown to the ground with consid- erable force. Joseph De Verso of Congress avenue took the boy to Waterbury hospital, where examine tion showed he had suffered a brain concussion and possible skull frac- ture. His condition today was re- ported satisfactory.
 Rosanne Dufresne, g, of 40 Star. view avenue, suffered slight brain concussion when she fell from a wall on Watertown avenue. The youngster lost her balance while walking atop the wall and fell to the sidewalk.
