zON|NG APPEALS
WILL Be HEARD
Newly Created Board Will
Begin Public Sessions
November 3.

Actual operation Of the Districts
newly created Board of Zoning Adjust
ment will begin at 80 pm, November
3, in the board room OF the District
Building, at a public hearing for con-
sideration of five appeals, filed yester-
day with the agency.
About dozen appeals from deci-
sions had been tentatively filed recent
ly. but the actual number Of cases
for the initial hearing was reduced to
five after the District Commissioners
adopted regulations prescribing that
all petitioners, except non-prof1t civic
groups, must post a $40 fee before
their cases would be considered.
The fee will be returned in any case
which is approved In toto by the
Adjustment Board.
Seek Gas Filling Station.
The first case is a request by W.
c. g. A. N. Miller. realty owners and
developers, for permission to establish
a gasoline station on property at 1866
Massachusetts, avenue NV, on land
zoned for first commercial use. Under
the revised zoning regulations approval
must be given by the Adjustment
Board In such cases.
The next case concerns a request by
Mary L. Hutchinson and Lloyd S. Slack
for permission for a gasoline station
at 1924 and 1926 Pennsylvania avenue
NV, on property now zoned for first
commercial use.
Neshian G.. Hintlian. Inc. has ap-
piled for permission to use a part of
an alley property, in the rear of n
U street NV. for building to be
used for storage and cleaning of rugs
and carpets. The property is zoned
for residential use. but it Is stated that
alley property cannot be used for resi-
Dental purposes. The property is said
to be one of the largest alley parcels
in the District.
Ask Use Of Building.
The National Rifle Association has
requested permission to use the build,
ing at 1894 Sixteenth street, at Scott
Circle, formerly the Republican Club,
as national headquarters Of the asso-
citation, on the claim that the body is
educational in character.
The fifth case listed Is the only
one dealing directly with a proposed
exception or variance from existing
zoning rules. 1t is petition by w. G.
Zimmerman to extend and inclose a
rear porch on a dwelling at 5o04 Ar
kansas avenue NV. Zoning rules
prescribe in such instances that no
more than 40 per cent of the lot may
be occupied by the building. The
plans involved in this case, officials
said. call for use Of roughly 43 per
cent Of the lot.
Expect Stream Of Appeals.
Anticipating there will be . fairly
steady stream of appeals, as soon as
the new system has been placed in
operation, the Adjustment Board has
planned tentatively to meet regularly
once a week, probably on Thursdays,
If pending appeals require such fire.
quent meetings. Each separate list OF
cases must be advertised, but II the
hearing requires more than a one-day
session it may be adjourned to. the
next day or the next week. For this
reason. the weekly Thursday hearings
have been tentatively planned.

Another Depression
Was the Result

Was the Result
There came the time when Mr..
Roosevelt's policies failed to work
any better than those under Presi-
dent Hoover, and we had another
depression on our hands. Mr.. Jesse
Jones', chairman of the Reconstruct
ton Finance corporation, either of
his own volition or by White House
urging, made several speeches and
statements to the bankers as the
depression got really bad. He sought
to stem the tide by persuading the
bankers to make more loans. Some
of us here got the impression that
Mr.. Jones wanted the bankers to
shove out the money and ask later
on whether they could get it back.
Anyway, the sum and substance of
the situation was that Mr.. Jones
was urging the banks to find ways
to loan money.
Then came the climax, the peak,
and the laugh. Hardly had Mr..
Jones concluded his series of lee
lures to the bankers (who, accord
ing to the Jones picture, really did
not want to make money when an
other government agency gets into
the play. The Federal Deposit In
surance corporation had something
to say about the bankers, and Chair
man Crowley issued statement to
all and sundry bankers.
Said Mr.. Crowley, in substance:
Bankers, the FDIC insures your de-
posts up to $1,000 per depositor:
thus they are protected. But that
does not mean you can take q
chance on unsound loans. You can't
take any greater risk than you
would if there was no insurance OF
the deposits. Just remember that
boys; be careful and don't stub your
toes!
The Kennewick courier-reporter and the White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1938-1939, 1938-09-01

small towns. OF course, bankers do
not always have a sense Of humor;;
nevertheless, I believe they may be
forgiven for failing to laugh at this
new condition.
To have clear understanding Of
the circumstance, it Is necessary to
lire up the several developments in
the order of their appearance as
government or administration pol
ICY.
First, it will be remembered how
President Roosevelt ordered all the
banks closed land some stayed
closely at the beginning Of his adj
ministration. He followed that with
legislation by congress that placed
new restrictions on how the banks
could loan money. It was pretty
good law since it prevented some
sharp practices Of which some
bankers had been guilty.
On top Of this law, some 10 or II
month later, Mr.. Roosevelt lam
basted the bankers for not making
loans to business. He charged them
with locking their vaults, called
them towards and what-nots. trying
to force money out into the chan
nels of trade when there were few
business men doing enough business
to pay interest on the money they
were using.
Then, the urge came for deposit
insurance. Mr.. Roosevelt was not
enthusiastic about any federal de-
post insurance scheme, but Senator
Vandenburg, Michigan Republican
had developed a terrible desire to
have it. He forced it through con-
gress, and Mr.. Roosevelt signed the
bill. I think the time will come
when the country will regret that
law, but that is neither here mol
there. It is on the statute books
and the federal deposit insurance
corporation has q function to sex
that banks are properly run.

More Persons to BE
Hit by Federal Taxes

What does that mean? Simply, It
means that in any new tax laws
that are enacted, congress will In
ciude a greater number Of persons
within the realm Of federal tax
sources; people who never have
paid taxes to the federal govern
ment before are going to pay them
hereafter. I am referring to income
taxes, directly, but the way the pic
lure looks to me, there will be more
axes that are indirect-and they hit
everybody. If congress doesn't ex-
eend the scope of federal taxation,
.nere will never be any chance OF q
oaianced budget, and If the future
aoes not bring forth a balanced
NUGGET, We may as well kiss our
oemocratic form of government
good-by.
Inc reason I say there must be
sodltional hidden taxes" levies

earnerS have less than $1,000 per
family. As the laws now stand, q
person who Is married and has an
income of $4,000 or less need pay no
tax. So it is seen that only mere
drop in the bucket Of new revenue
can be obtained in that direction,
wholly because II all Of them were
taxed the amount still would be
small. Yet, any serious attempt to
raise revenue to balance federal ex-
penses must include levies on the
lower incomes as well as other new
taxes that apply generally.

New Taxes Sure to Come,
Senat or Harrison Warns
Another Federal Deficit of Four Billion Dollars
Faces Country; New Sources of Revenue
Sought; More Per sons to Be Hit.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
National Press Bldg, Warrington, D. G.

WAsHINGTON.-It requires q
endderable amount Of courage for
N active politician to talk about
more taxes in an election year, and
Il Is hopeful sign when one tells
The truth about such q politically
dercate matter. When Sen. Pat
Harrison, the veteran Mississippi
Democrat, announced the other day
that new taxes are coming, there
fore. It became q matter Of mo-
ment. It was significant first that
Senator Harrison, speaking as
chairman Of the powerful senate fl
nance committee, should boldly say
there must be new taxes, and it was
significant In the second place be-
cause Senator Harrison has not al
Ways stood shoulder to shoulder
With the New Dealers.
But there Is another federal
treasury deficit Of something
Ike $4,000, 900, 900 staring rs In
he face, and the size Of 1t mdi-
Gates that no progress has been
made whatsoever In curtailing
federal spending. It tells Us,
too, that the much ballyhooed
Business recovery Of q year ago
b yielding less I'm taxes than
had been calculated by the
wshful thinkers.
Thirdly, the probable deficit
seems to show there was at least
some merit in the assertions by
Senator Harrison and others in con-
pess last winter that some OF the
New Deal policies are driving the
country further into a hole instead
Of bringing it out.
Senator Harrison's statements
constitute a warning that federal
taxes must dig deeper. In effect
he told the country that the govern
ment has been taxing to the point
where it can not expect any in
creased returns from the present
sources, however heavy the levies
and that the scope Of taxes mus,
be extended and expanded.
