CAPITAL NOTES
JOB INCREASE

Nearly 500 more jobs were found
in private industry in the District
Of Columbia during March of this
year than during March, 1886, &C
cording to a report compiled by
the District Public Employment
Center for Secretary Of Labor
Frances Perkins.
Marking a 40 per cent increase
in job placement in the first three
months of this year over the SINH
lar period in 1886, the report
showed that the center found jobs
outside the Government for $3.50
men and women last month. This
figure represents the second high
est total for any one month since
reorganization Of the service in
1888.
A sharp drop in PWA jobs was
reported by the center, which
showed that placements in Gov
eminent public works decreased "a
per cent during the first quarter
of this year. Only 886 Government
jobs were filled by the service this
quarter, compared with 2,480 for
the same period last year.

Says:

This is the time of year when
college seniors publish question.
naireS on their preferences for
this and that-aS II it mattered.
And the 1897 class at my old
alma mater, SiwaSh, was one Of
the first to bat.
OF 346 SiwaSh seniors, 10 ad-
mitted they had never kissed a
girl and eight had never even
got a slap in the face.
There was a split Of opinion
rs to the most desirable job
after graduation. Seventy ST.
wash seniors would like to be
flOOrWalkerS in a night club.
Sixteen expressed a preference
to be timekeeper for a century
plant. Two wanted to be trav-
cling statesmen for lighthouses
and the rest preferred to loaf.
The faVOrite study Of the SEN
Tors was the lingerie pages Of
the Sunday rOtOgraVure Sec
tiOns. Their favOrite character
in history was CrOeSuS. DON
Juan was q close second. And
throwing hot pennies to organ
grinders was their faVOrits
sport.
Good old Siwash, my alma
nanny!

holes in System

Attempts to improve administra-
tive features of District tax laws
SO as to keep new levies as low as
possible will be made by the spe-
cial House District subcommittee
studying the problem, it was re-
vealed today.
Discussing this possibility, Rep
resentative Everett Dirksen (R)
of Illinois, member of the subcom-
mittee, pointed out that the Dis
trict assessment and collection ma
chinery "is as archaic as Noah's
Ark" and added that if the sys-
tenn is overhauled 1--WE may find
that it will not be necessary to i'm
pose many new forms of taxation
to raise the 100000 estimated
deficit.
Not to Exceed Required Sum
Meanwhile, the subcommittee
members who will begin hearings
Tuesday at 10 a. M, appeared to
agree it would be unwise to at
tempt to raise more than the re-
quired 100000. Representative
Dirksen said:
Apparently we have $6,OOO,.
900 to raise, and we have no al
Tentative, if after the apprOpria-
ton bill is enacted, it is shown
that that will be the size of the
deficit. We must devise means
of raising that amount and no
more, because there is no doubt
that if we did raise more than is
necessary to meet the deficit it
would merely present a tempta-
ton to spend the entire amount.
81 feel it is incumbent upon us
to give everyone a hearing who
wants one, get all the evidence
we can get and then buckle
down and take the best Of all
the ideas and compile our own
program. We must seek to be
as equitable to all parties con-
cerned as it is possible for us to
do, for I think the basis we lay
down will last for a long time"
SEEKS VIEWS OF EXPERTS
KirkSen suggested that experts
from the Treasury Department
and Bureau of Internal Revenue
be called to give their views on
the tax structure and its admin
istrative feature.
At yesterdays subcommittee
meeting, it was agreed that neither
the Collins tax program nor any
other bills which have been in
troduced would be used as a basis.
