seems little bit Alice-in- -Wonderlandish
It might be laughed of If the implied
threat were not there, a threat to deal
with the critics OF the Presidents spend
ing program rather summarily-pos-
sibly through the agency of the Senate
Lobby Committee, to which the Presi-
dent has recently given the right to
comb through the private income tax
returns of all opponents Of the ad-
ministration.
The administration feels that the
Presidents reorganization bill was beaten
in the House through propaganda
propaganda of the wrong sort. 1t does
not wish to take chance on another
wave of public sentiment against
another administration measure - the
spending bill. So 1t has raised a shout
against propaganda" It makes no
mention. however, of the propaganda
put out by the administration in sup
port of this new plan to plunge the
country further into debt by billions of
dollars. The Chief Executive takes to
the air, and so do many of his cabinet
officers and other officials OF the Govern
ment The relief workers are given to
understand that they must support this
program-or else!
The administration has become more
touchy than ever before. 1t is more
difficult to face criticism when the tide
OF popularity is receding. Efforts to
stem a flood of criticism by the intimi-
dation route, however, will not improve
the situation. The American people will
not be intimidated.

Vote eyes,"

In tomorrow reterenQum FOte TWO
questions are posed in the ballot
Question l. Do you want the right to
vote for officers of your own city gov
ernment in the District of Columbia?
Question 2: Do you want the right to
vote for President of the United States
and for members of Congress from the
District of Columbia?
Question l raises the issue of what
Is known as local suffrage involving
change in local government and the
election of municipal officials. The ac-
tive opponents of suffrage are telling
tall tales of what change of local gov
ernment might mean, but as nobody
knows what it might mean the tales are
purely imaginary. The important issues
in local suffrage involve, first. the ques-
ton whether local suffrage would estab-
lish dual sovereignty in the District as
between the National Government and
the local community and this dual SOW
ereignty might, of course, be rejected
as unwise by Congress. The other issue
is whether local suffrage, and a change
in the form of local government, could
be established without a Constitutional
amendment. The answer is yes. But
the catch in that is that no really effec-
tive participation in local government
by local citizens could result without
change in the Constitution, or its in
depreciation, to permit a direct delega-
tion of at least a part of Congress
exclusive power of legislation. An i'm
potent local government would offer no
advantages over the present form of
government. One group believe that
effective local government can be OBJ
tanned only after the adoption of one
of the proposed constitutional amend
nents. Their slogan is: Local govern
ment with power through constitutional
amendment"
Question should be answered in the
affirmative and without hesitation by all
citizens who believe in representative
democracy. The right to vote for Presi-
dent and for members of Congress does
not involve any necessary change in
local government, nor does it make nec-
essary municipal elections Unless one
favors the principle of dictatorship, it
is difficult to see how the question can
be answered other than in the affirm
etive.
A wise vote will be to vote "Yes" on
both questions. Under a Constitutional
amendment as proposed by the Lewis
Randolph joint resolution, Congress
could, if Congress desired establish an
efficient form of municipal government
in which local citizens would participate
as voters and as Office holders. And the
right to vote for President and for men,
bers of Congress would, of course, imply
the right of citizens later to choose their
form of local government or to retain
the present form, should the specific
form of local government and change
ever become the issue.

NeAdClOu Oh SlSHt 10 eNJOymLnL OF the
beauty Of Washington is a subject not
usually considered by the sightseer.
whether from out-of-town or strictly
local.
Yet nothing Is more important
The sights Of spring far outweigh the
sounds OF spring or the scents of spring.
time, as important as the latter are.
To see is to know, we might paraphrase
Descartes
Far-fiung great buildings, imposing
monuments, beautiful parks, interiors of
historical and artistic interest, museums
crammed with rare pieces
What do these amount to If the vision
is dim, or If ones eye sting or smart or
there is bit of dust in one of them?
Care of the eyesight is not generally
or widely considered topic.
Only in recent years has there been
any concerted attempt to get people to
think about their eyes and to care for
them intelligently.
Nature, the great teacher, does not
say word on the subject until most
people are past 40 years of age, then she
often reminds them overnight of some
thing precious lost.
People at middle-age begin to find it
necessary to hold print farther and
farther away from them
The lids get red: sometimes there is an
ache in the eyeball.
Hot water is one of the best eve doc
tors. Often simple inf1ammations may
be stopped by its use. The danger, OF
course, lies in diagnosis. The inf1am-
nation may be complex, not simple. If
hot applications do not give ease and
relief shortly, take the eyes to the doctor.
Water for this usage should be only
hot enough to help, not hot enough to
burn. The application is to be made to
the tightly closed-and kept tightly
closed-eye. Under no circumstances
keep the eyes open while bathing them
The idea is to increase the circulation
in the lids, and by that means help the
rest of the eye if it needs help. This is
perhaps unscientific, but extremely prac-
tical. Often it works-and that is what
the person involved wants.
1t is curious thing that all people
practice medicine on themselves, and
they are right, in great many cases. 1t
is their constitutional right, for one
thing, and only commonsense for an
other. Doctors are needed for the serious
cases. even medical men do not want
you calling them for nothing, or for
small ailment which turns out to be
nothing.
Experience plays a great part here.
There are many minor ailments which
recur continually. One never seems to
be able to cure them for keeps" but by
the use Of simple remedies often man
ages to chase them away for long time
There are constitutional defects, in
other ways. which probably nobody could
really emo, but for which certain small
remedies seem to do a great deal of
good
Hot swater, as applied to eyes, is one
OF these.
Sometimes good results are secured by
alternate use of hot water and cold
Water-that is, the hot applications.

Tower Of Babel

Tower of Babel.
They built the Tower of Babel
And they thought, if none would shir
That doubtless they'd be able
To complete the wonderous work.
And all was just as merry
And as careless as you please;
Till some one, heartless, very
Started in to talk Chinese.
Then other nations started
To contribute human speech
And some more open hearted
Bravely undertook to teach:
And in eloquent communion
Each gave voice to his dislike,
Every nation had a union
And each union called a strike.
Yet we cannot feel unhappy
Though we sometimes pause to sob
When some boss especially scrappy
Says he's going to quit his Job.
Again We face the fable.
Very soon once more we'll say,
Just another Tower of Babel
Has again gone on its way"

SMALLEST DEFICIT
SINCE 1881 SEEN
New Spending Is Expected
to Triple Shortage Next

Ey the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Treasury officials said today the
fiscal year closing this month would
have the smallest Federal deficit since
1881, although the new spending pro-
gram probably will triple the shortage
next year
With only months figures yet TO
check, the deficit, excluding debt re-
tirements, was slap ,022 ,204. Quar-
terly income tax payments June Is
probably will bring the final figure
close to the 1888, ,000, 900 deficit pre-
dicted by President Roosevelt.
In the preceding fiscal year the
deficit was $4,000 900 900. The record
peacetime deficit was $4,7O0 900 900
in the IL months ended June 80,
1896.
The deficit was reduced In the cur
rent year by record income tax col
lections. Next year. the administra-
ton proposes vastly increased spending
for public works and pump printing"
and anticipates slight drop in reve-
nues.
In the first II months of the fiscal
year the Treasury took in s5,467,7l3,-
$50, including s2,084 4,907,ll0 of in
come taxes, $2,094, ,700,485 of excise
taxes and $599,551, ,538 of social Sc
curity taxes.
Comparable figures of the preceding
year show total receipts of $4,426, ,140,-

come taxes, $1,971 ,459,262 of excise
taxes and s444, 4,641 ,051 of social Sc

Expenditures of the last II months
totaled $6,879, 1854 compared with
