Pontif Attends
Special Prayers
Despite Illness
Present for Half Hour
At Opening Of Week
Of Devotions
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY. Nov. 28.-The
ailing Pope Plus took part in special
. prayers in the chapel of his official
. apartment this morning. opening a
week Of spiritual devotions at the
Vatican.
The Pontiff, who yesterday ad-
dressed an audience of pilgrims after
walking to the throne from his
sedan chair, was carried into the
chapel in the chair. He prayed with
cardinals and other prelates for a
half hour, when the service was
suspended for 80 minutes to resume
at 1870.
These annual spiritual exercises
were instituted by the Pope in an
encyclical in the early years of his
reign as an example to the clergy
to be assiduous in prayer, Vatican
authorities said.
Unwilling to Rest.
Although audiences ordinarily are
suspended during the week of
spiritual exercises, they added, the
Pope again showed his unwillingness
to rest. He decided, Vatican officials
said, to receive a group of newly
veds in audience Wednesday.
The Pope got out of bed after his
physician, DR.. Aminta Milani, paid
morning visit and found his con-
dition satisfactory.
Members OF the papal household
said the Pope passed the night
fairly quietly. At about m. he was
propped up in bed with pillows so
that he could breathe more easily.
After about an hour he fell asleep in
this half upright position to awaken
at am, when he resumed re-
clining position for two hours.
At 8 am he was helped to an
armchair where, after prayers. he
devoted attention for time to Vati-
can affairs. receiving the Vatican
secretary of state, Cardinal Pacelll,
at $50 O'Clock for an hour before
the spiritual exercises began.
The Pope's physicians indicated
that the injections which were adj
ministered after Fridays attack had
been suspended. although DR.. Miami
continues to visit his patient several
times day.
The Pontiff still is on liquid diet
and drinks small amounts OF coffee.
The Pontiff. with surprising
strength, talked yesterday for 10
minutes to 400 Hungarian pilgrims
after he had seated himself un-
aided on the papal throne.
Master of Strength.
One of the pilgrims said he was
Every pale, but he appeared the
master of his strength and I'M
hesitating in his motions" He
chatted afterwards for a few min
utes with Justinian George Cardinal
Seredi, archbishop Of Strigonia, who
led the pilgrims.
In the afternoon he went to bed
for about two hours but asthma
bothered him. members of his
household said. and he arose to
! sit In an armchair until 6 pm.
From secluded part Of the Off
cial apartment he listened to SER
mons by cardinals at the annual
spiritual exercises of the papal
court. They ended at 7;45 pm, and
the Pope went at once to bed.

placed. before the committee the
tax program Endorsed by her or
ganization. 1t embodied the fol-
lowing planks:
/. An adequate Federal payment
toward District expenses.
2. Repeal of the Intangible per-
sonal property tax.
3. Repeal of the business privI-
lege tax on gross receipts.
4. A graded income tax.
S. Opposition to a general sales
tax.
Samuel Lipkowitz of the National
Labor Relations Board Union, de-
scribed the committee as "stooge"
for Congress. and declared 1t should
recommend tax program best suit
ed to meet the needs OF the District
and not cock its ear towards a pro-
gram 1t believes Congress may APP
prove.
He also denounced the sales tax
and said in its stead. there should
be adopted graduated net corpo-
rate income and personal net in
come tax. and expressed the belief
there would be no constitutional
barrier to such levy.

how much additional revenue must
be raised?'
The estimated general fund
revenue for 1910. using a tax rate
of $3.50 and dropping the business
privilege tax. and not including the
Federal payment, is $33 5000, 000,' he
said.
The average annual revenue in
crease for the seven-year period
l94l to 1947 is 100000. or $500 900
for the seven years. which added
to the above s33.000.o0O makes $685.
100000. If from this is deducted
s3000.000 under the proposal for
the repeal of the tax on intangible
personal property the net revenue
then available would be s33 500 900.
Using the previously mentioned
S44.500000 for maintenance and
operation and 100000 for capital
outlay. or ssh 100000, there would
then be revenue shortage at the
peak need of $l8,OOO,0OO to be met
from the Federal payment and new
taxes.
Elasticity Needed.
IF the Federal payment remains
at s5,000.000 the shortage would then
be reduced to s13,0O0,0O0. Continu-
ing the S1.75 tax rate would further
reduce the amount to $4,000 900.
This would call for new taxes to
raise that amount when required, on
the assumption, of course, that the
tax on intangibles will be repealed,
and the business privilege tax will
not be re-enacted. Should these two
taxes be continued there would still
have to be raised $5,006.00O from
other sources in new taxes by the
end Of the seven-year period.
TT should be understood that the
additional revenue would be raised
from time to time as needed, the
maximum amount probably not
being required until toward the close
of the seven-year period. For this
reason the new tax program should
be sufficiently elastic or flexible to
prevent the raising in any fiscal year
of more revenue than is required for
that year, using the tax rate on real
estate as the elastic factor, lowering
it as may become necessary, but in
the opinion of the Advisory Com
mittee not having it exceed SITS at
any time.
Fair Obligation" of U. S.
I'm any proposals which may be
recommended by the Advisory
Committee for changes in the ex-
listing tax structure of the District
serious consideration will be given
to the question of the Federal pay
ment. The committee believes that
the responsibility rests upon resi-
dents of this community to pay fair
and just taxes. The committee also
believes that an equal responsibility
rests upon Congress to provide an
nually such funds from the Federal
Treasury as will discharge the Ma
tons fair obligation to the cost of
government and Improvements in
the District of Columbia.
This statement relates only to
the general fund of the District of
Columbia and therefore excludes
any consideration of the gasoline
tax and highway fund and the
water fund, two special self-sustain-
ing funds which are available only
for appropriation for specific pur-
poses as provided by law. These
two special funds are not involved
at this time in the tax study now.

It had it. In the opinion OF the
Advisory Committee the question
which must necessarily first be
answered is: What are the i'm
perative financial needs of the Dis
trict government?
THE period for which these
needs should be estimated must be
some reasonably extended period
in the future. The Advisory Com
mittee has selected seven years.
Historical data must of necessity
be the basis for any careful ap-
proach to the problem, and the
Advisory Committee has, therefore.
assembled in convenient form the
details of both revenues and ap-
preparations during the last 20 years.
Population Rise Affects Costs.
ut must be kept in mind that
increases in population affect gov
ernmental costs, although the re-
lationship is not directly proper
tionate. The population in the
District increased from $4,000 in
1920 to an estimated $4,000 in 1898,
an increase of 1911 900 in 10 years,
or close to IS per cent in that time.
Maintenance and operation during
that time increased more than 100
per cent.
Increased population in the
metropolitan area outside the Dis
trict is also reflected somewhat in
the Districts governmental costs,
and the increase in this area has
been extremely rapid in recent
years.
"1t should also be noted that
fluctuations in the number of Fed
eral Government employees directly
affect the requirements of the Dis
trict government, and the latter
must keep pace with peak demands
of the former.
Appropriations for expenditures
divide themselves. for the purposes
of any such study as now in progress,
into two main classiflcations: Cd
Maintenance and operating costs,
and CD capital outlay.
Expenses Increase.
Examination of available data
shows that the maintenance and
operating expenses of the District
have increased in a steady curve,
except for a temporary drop during
the period of the economy reduction,
the major part of which was the cut
In salaries of employees.
1920 fhof rf
of the cost of maintenance and
operation, payable from the general
fund, amounts to $500 900. which.
compared with the fiscal year 1885,
shows an average increase Of more
than 81 100000 year. This average
increase holds good over a period of
Is pears preceding the fiscal year
1899.
Appropriations from the general
fund for capital outlay have in re-
cent years been made in significantly
smaller amounts. During the nine
years following the fiscal year 1925,
capital outlay appropriations totaled
about $82,000,000 or an average of
100000 year, while during the
six fiscal years ending with 1889
similar appropriations have amount
ed to $4,000, 900, or an average of
100000 a year. The 1910 budget
of the Commissioners Of the District
carries a total for capital outlay of
only $3,500,000"
