Hearings Continue:
D, C. OFFICIALS.
PREDICT BUDGET.
OF 50 MILLIONS.
Spokesman Are Given
More Time

Today marked the end of the
second week of hearings by the
Budget Bureau on the $50,383, ,937
estimates submitted by the Dis
trict government for 1910 and in
dications we're that it would re-
quire at least another 10 or IL
days for the Districts SpokeSmen
to complete their arguments be-
fore Acting Budget Director
Daniel w. Bell.
Shortly after the first of the
month, it was expected, the Dis
trict budget will be ready for
White House consideration. AS in
past years, the 1910 budget may
be submitted also to Representa-
tive Ross A. Collins Cd, of MiSsis-
sippi, in order that he, as chair
man of the Subcommittee on Dis
trict Appropriations of the House
Appropriations Committee, may
launch hearings on the estimates
before Congress conVeneS.
"ANYTHING MAY HAPPEN"
Although anything may hap
pen" before the Districts case is
concluded at the Budget Bureau,
District officials said, the general
expectation" Is that the 1910 bud
get will emerge substantially un-
changed from the Treasury De
partment. Again conceding poten-
tial hazards loom both at the
White House and at the Collins
committee, officials said they be-
lieve $50, 900 budget will find
Its way to Congress.
On the basis of this calculation
1t was estimated about $1,000,OO0
of additional revenue will have to
be found if the Districts books
are to balance.
This $1,000,000 figure is based
also on the consensus of opinion
that the SITS tax rate on realty
and tangible personal property,
adopted as temporary measures,
will be continued while the busi-
ness privilege tax, object of al
most universal complaint, will not
be revived.
The $175 levy is producing
$4,000, 900 Tor 1889 and the buSl-
ness privilege tax is accounting
for an estimated $2,000,000 bring
ing total revenue to $5,OOO,0OO for
the current fiscal year. When the
books close next June 80, this will
leave an expected surplus of about
100000.
BUSINESS LEVY
District officials place at $4,-
100000 their revenue require
ments for 1910. The $1.75 tax
would bring in about $3,000,00O
again. they point out, leaving
$1,O00,O0O to be raised without the
business tax.
DR.. Chester Pond, New York
expert on taxation now undertak-
ing an analysis of District tax
problems under $4,000 appro-
priation from Congress, is
scheduled to submit his findings
by January l to the Joint Con
gressional Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation.

HOLIDAY HELPS
CHEST WORKERS
IN FUND DRIVE.
Next Progress Report
To Be Made Monday

BY Monday the Community
Chest expects to have more good
news" in it's annual drive for
funds to aid Washington'S sick
and needy.
The news will be contained in
the first report of progress since
Thursday and hence will include
pledges made yesterday, today and
tomorrow-believed by Chest Off
ciaIs to be ideal days for soliciting.
5000 SOLICITORS
On Thursday the total recorded
was $408, ,735, nearly 20 per cent of
the goal of $2,127,000, but solicit
ing on ArmiStice Day has carried
the amount far beyond that point.
More than 5000 volunteers are at
work, canvaSsing from house to
house and contracting business
and professional groups.
The volunteers labored all day
yesterday and far into the night,
finding solicitation aided by the
fact prospective donors were at
home instead of at work during
the holiday.
Meantime, the daily luncheonS
at the Willard Hotel have been
suspended until Monday, when the
six units of the Chest will again
gather. The units are the metro
politan, group solicitation, special
assignments, governmental, Capt.
tol and suburban.

light much misery in the Capital.
it was reported. Armistice Day
saw dozens of telephone calls, let
ters and personal visits to Chest
headquarters from folk in need.
Among the calls was one from
a husband, out of work, who was
frantic because his wife was about
to have a baby and they lacked
money for medical care. The In
structive Visiting Nurse Society
went on the job, it was reported,
and in a few minutes an infant
came into the world with COM
plete staff of doctors and nurses
in attendance.

RADIANT LIVING
HIS LARGER PURPOSE
BY Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary NJ. E. Church
5udlersville. Nd.

God has a wonderful plan-divine-
ly inspired, for your life. Did not
God have such a plan for the life
Of Joseph?
What if his jealous brothers did
cast Joseph into the pit and later
sold him to the Ishmalites? 1t was
hard indeed on Joseph, but God
used that very evil to work out His
purposes to set Joseph upon the
Egyptian throne.
And in those sunset days of his
life, Joseph looked back across the
years to that long ago morning
when, chained as a slave, being
hurried along away from homeland
toward distant Egypt, he had watch
ed the sun as it rose slowly behind
drapery Of portentious clouds,
aaame in threatening scarlet and
had thought what could be the out
come of the evil that had befallen
his life. At that time he could see
no good in it. But now he saw in it
all the working out of Gods larger
purpose for his life-a purpose
which brought him into far larger
life than could ever have been his
had he remained unmolested in fair
Canaan.
But" you say, that was for JOS
eDh. We can not all be Josephs."
But God is not unmindfnl Of you
just because you may occupy a very
small corner in life. Would God,
Who notices even the fall Of a
sparrow, have no interest, no pur-
pose. no beautiful plans for lives
that are limited? Is not tiny violet
growing in an out-of-the-way place
along the edge of a field as perfect
and as beautiful a flower and as
much the handiwork of God as some
highly priced lily or cultivated
rose?
In that very calling IN which you
are engaged, God has plan. for your
life which, if faithfully followed by
a continuous yielding to His con
troll, there will be worked out for
you in life, Ellis larger purpose"
