Another woman came into the re-

desperate man only to find that the

she said, wanted to 60 to reform

would have enough to eat. Her
little boy had scars on his head

Summarizing the situation, the
commentator said that although the

amount granted by Congress has
been cut down every year.

Kennedy Makes Charges as
Seal Replies to INSTALL
ment Plan.

Charges that a number Of employees
In the tax department Of the District
government are inefiicient and should
be retired are contained in a letter
Representative Kennedy, Democrat, of
Maryland. today sent to Corporation
Counsel Elwood H. Seal.
Mr.. Kennedy, ranking majority
member Of the House District COM
mittee, pointed out he is still studying
q plan for reorganization of the NUM-
cipal government and hoped to have
It completed before adjournment of
Congress. He said he believed the
plan would result in elimination 6f
thefhciency and lead to "considera BILE
economy"
Follows "InstalIment" Letter.
The letter was provoked by Mr..
Seals recent reply to Mr.. Kennedy S
request for comment on his plan to
permit District taxpayers to pay taxes
on an installment system as is in
operation in Baltimore, where he lives.
II would appreciate your furnishing
me with the facts and figures that
lead you to believe that the plan for
the installment payment Of taxes in
the District of Columbia would cost
too much" he said. Il fail to find how
the District of Columbia government
would be required to pay interest As
before advised you. the plan has
worked successfully and to the benefit
Of the City of Baltimore, as we'll as
those paying taxes, for some years.
Says Plan Not Understood.
"Your contention that the taxpayer
would have to estimate the amount
OF taxes from month to month clearly
demonstrates that the proposal is not
at all understood by those holding
such an opinion. For example, the
taxpayers will know beginning July /,
1888, what the tax on real estate
will be for the ensuing year and ar
rangements could be made without
additional expense to the District gov
ernment. whereby the taxpayers who
are unable to accumulate half
years taxation at any one partic-
ular time in a savings account in a
designated institution, which deposits
could be earmarked for the payment
Of taxes when due. This. in my judg-
ment. would help to eliminate the so
per cent delinquents who were men,
toned in your letter and also bring in
more revenue to the government of the
District of Columbia.
with regard to the statement that
this plan would require considerable
more personnel than is now employed
by the District, I believe that if an
examination will be made of the pres
ent personnel of the Tax Department,
1t will be found that a number of
employees are on the present pay roll
vino are definitely not capable of rem
dering efficient service to the District.
These people should be retired and if
necessary replaced by younger or at
least more efficient people"

HAMILTON SCORES
ROOSEVELT TALK
Definition of Liberalism Likened
to Soviet and Nazi
Concept.
Hy the Associated Press.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Sept 10
John D. M. Hamilton. Republican ma
tional chairman, tonight voiced objec-
ton to what he described as an I'M
dertaking by President Roosevelt to
attribute false attitudes and posi-
tons to those who oppose him"
Mr.. Hamilton, in a speech prepared
for delivery at Westchester County
Republican rally near here, said Mr..
Roosevelt's definition Of liberal, as
given in his Maryland speech this
week, was nonsense"
Under the definition Of liberalism
given by President Roosevelt in his
Maryland speech" Mr. Hamilton said,
Russia and Germany stand today as
the finest examples of liberalism"
The issue which separates those
who are Importing Mr.. Roosevelt and
those who are opposing his New Deal
was not accurately stated by the
President either last June in his bed
time story or in his Maryland speech
earlier this week." he asserted.
THE issue is not whether steps
should be taken to solve the problems
perplexing this country and to cure
the evils mentioned by the President.
The issue is whether in attempting to
reach these evils it is necessary to
pack the Supreme Court, ignore the
Constitution. crush out the rights and
independence Of our State govern
ments, break down the independence
between the Congress and the Execu-
tive. and whether it is necessary to
pile up burden of debt so great that
our very national solvency is threat
ened.'

Intervention to Protect Big Firms

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 10.-Presi-

war conference today one nation
should not intervene in the affairs of
another to protect its citizens and cor

A crowd Of 5000 in the Palace Of
Fine Arts applauded the Presidents
announcement of diplomacy that sup

Diplomatic war leads to economic
war then even to armed conflict" he
said
Without mentioning the United
States directly, Cardenas reiterated
the Mexican position taken in the re-
cent note to the United States dealing
with settlement of claims of Ameri-
cans for farm lands appropriated in
Mexico
Foreigners must accept the condi-
tions they find in the land to which
they go, he said, and cannot expect
better treatment than Mexico accords
her own nationals.
The anti-war conference was ar
ranged at the suggestion of President
Cardenas by the Confederation Of
Workers of Mexico while the Latin

In the first primary.
In Georgia there are eight city
areas having six unit votes each.
There are 30 counties having four
votes each, and 12l agricultural
counties with rtwo votes each. The
smallest county in the State gets
two votes.
Thus, one candidate might carry
Atlanta by q large popular vote, but
get only six unit votes in his column,
while his opponent, by carrying three
OF the smallest rural counties. hav-
ing only few thousand voters, also
would have six unit votes. Atlanta has
nearly 44,500 registered voters, or ap-
proximately $500 voters for each
unit vote. A small rural county, with
less than 500 registered voters, gets
two unit votes.
The farmers, therefore, will IN a
large measure, render the verdict in
Georgia, as in Maryland.
Students OF politics in States that
follow the county unit nomination
system do not forsee any change
in the law in the near future, point
| ing out that the rural areas, with
their numerical strength in the legis-
latures, will be reluctant to give I'd
plan that enables them to cope with
