General Community Agreement
On Budget Taxation.


On Budget Taxation.
The current problem Of munich
pal finance is covered so admirably
by the report Of the Board of Trade
Committee on Municipal Finance
that it might serve in most particu-
lars as representative of the views
of all the organized civic bodies.
While going into the matter more
elaborately than the Federation Of
Citizens Associations Committee
on Fiscal Relations, in all essentials
1t speaks exactly the same lam
guage.
Both groups recommend that the
1910 budget be held down. as to
the general fund, to be within the
anticipated yield of existing taxes.
Both groups also ask that there be
no increase in taxation, but are
friendly to some equitable readjust-
ments in the tax structure.
There is equal agreement that
the tax burden carried by real es-
tate is too heavy and that the busi-
ness privilege tax should be re-
pealed. Neither group is at pres
ent offering any suggestion as to
tax legislation, as they are waiting
for the report Of the tax study now
under way and recommendations
from the Commissioners Advisory
Tax Committee.
The Board of Trades committee
is having q special tax study made
which will be invaluable when the
taxation legislation comes up for
consideration by committees of Con-
gress. The federation's commit
tee is engaged in assembling data
for similar use, though its limited
funds prevent going into the mat
ter as elaborately as the Board Of
Trade.
Both the Federation Of Citizens
Associations and the Board OF
Trade are most emphatic in stating
that the payment by the Federal
Government is entirely too small.
They both urge and will support
their request by sound reasoning
that the National Government pay
an equitable share of the cost OF
the operation, maintenance and up
building Of the Capital.
From the foregoing outline 1t
appears that the prospect OF some
practical team work before the
coming session Of Congress Is, In
deed, bright.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Teachers and Buildings Are Chief School Needs.
Community Agreement on Budget and
Taxation Is Seen.

has long way to go before such
accommodations become current.
Even though these capital i'm
provements have been moving at a
snail's pace the needed increases
in the teaching force continue to
trail them.
The superintendent Of schools
has each year justified, by reliable
figures, the need for salaries for
substantial increases in the number
Of teachers. He has shown numer-
GUS oversize classes which are en-
tirely too large to enable teachers
to give any individual attention to
the pupils. He has shown how such
condition results in retardation
and repeating Of grades by pupils.
thus adding to the congestion in
the schools and to the cost TO the
taxpayers.
The civic bodies of the District
have recognized this problem and
have supported the Board Of Edu-
cation and the superintendent in
urging Congress to provide the
number Of teachers clearly shown
to be required. All such urging
has been in vain, as the right of
petition exercised by voteless
and unrepresented community car
ries little weight.
The unenviable light in which
the District Is shown as to the lack
of facilities for giving public
school education to those unable, by
reason Of physical disability. to
attend regular classes in neigh
boring public school is due to the
same cause.-the lack Of adequate
teaching force. There is Of course
the further lack of funds for the
transportation of those who might
be able to attend classes in a special
school.
These matters all get right down
to the problem of our complicated
budgetary procedure So many dif-
ferent ofncials and congressional
committees have to be shown, and
all Of them keep this part Of the
public business confidential until
1t is too late for the taxpayers to do
anything about it. Some timid
souls give up the fight almost at
the beginning.
One of the key problems is
thought by many civic leaders and
District oficials. as well, to be the
removal of the District budget from
the Federal Bureau Of the Budget.
This reform will be urged again
this winter before Congress.

NURSE TRAINING, too.
B. j.: I cannot seem to satisfy
my mind on which church / should
join. 1 have been thinking of go
ing to the Catholic Church but !
am undecided. What would you
do?
Ans: If you live good clean
Christian life I think you will
be happy in most any church. I
think, however, that you would en-
joy going to a Catholic Church and
l suggest that you make the ac-
quaintance of some Catholic friends
who will be glad to have you go to
church with them. After you learn
a little about their customs and
services, you can decide yourself if
you want to become a member.
M. B.: I am now 18. When I
was ID l met a boy much older
than I and after couple of years
of steady going another girl tricked
him into marrying her. He always
claims he loves me and until a
couple of months ago we used to
have secret dates. In between time
I have been going with a crippled
boy. Now, which one should I
marry?
Ans: Don't marry yet. You
don't love either boy except for a
little fun. l suggest that you con-
tinue on with your schooling and
after you have completed your edu-
cation you will have plenty of
time to think of getting married.
You haven't had enough fun out of
life yet.
R. W.: l had a girl friend for
the past two years and 1 was still
fond of her when she came to me
with some mean things last sum-
mer about losing confidence in me
and from those words she and I
broke up. Did l do the right or the
wrong thing?
Ans: You did just right. The
girl was through with you and had
the courage to tell you to your
face. The real reason, of course,
was that she met another boy
friend who could give her things
you couldn't.

Another odd feature of the Anglo

that Lord Perth has been careful, prob
ably In conformance with Instructions,
not to initiate any exchange of views
on the attitude the Fascist government
will observe concerning acute Euro
pean problems.
Premier Chamberlain and Lord Fair

premier that in April, 1885, at the

Out OF the Rome negotiations the
British government quite possibly will
draw certain advantages, for instance,
lessening for the present Of military
preparations in Libya against Egypt,
cessation OF anti-British propaganda
among the Arabs and nom n-interference
OF Italian authorities with the waters

italy will wrest de jure recognition Of

BERLIN, April 4-The Catholic
clergy made no mention in churches

where D. N. B., the official news
agency, Saturday issued declara-
ton appealing for an affirmative vote
which it said DR.. Johannes Baptist

on the subject of Austria.
Some NaziS in the congregations

been led to expect to hear statements
read by priests on the plebiscite.
Mass was celebrated and sermons
We're preached as usual in the cathe-

In some churches Of Bavaria parish
newspapers distributed after mass
