Boston Tea Party

TO the citizens of Washington there
is peculiar significance in the fact
that tonight marks the 165th ami
versary of the Boston Tea Party.
The American people have come
long way since that celebrated Incl
dent helped strengthen the deter
mination of their ancestors to throw
off the tyranny represented by the
policy Of taxation without repre-
sentation. The passing years have
witnessed the creation of a democ-
racy that has withstood all tests and
is recognized today as the principal
stronghold of the doctrine that the
state exists for the benefit OF the
people and exercises only the powers
that they have granted to it. This
fact accentuates the anomalous posi-
tion of the voteless residents of the
Nations Capital.
The amount of taxes, national and
local, collected in the District has no
bearing on the principle involved, but
it does serve to bring out more clearly
the magnitude of the injustice which
results from the enforcement here of
a policy that died with the Revolu-
tionary War throughout the rest of
the land.
The District Of Columbia pays an
nually in national taxes Gnternal
revenue) an amount larger than that
paid by any one of half the States.
Its payments exceed, in substantial
amount, the aggregate payments of
an entire group of States. These
States, through their Congressional
representation, give their consent as
to the kinds and amounts of such
taxes, while the District enjoys no
such privilege. These represented
States also have voice in the SPEND
ing Of the money Gncluding that COL
lected from the District of Columbia).
The proceeds from these national
taxes, to which the District is sub
stantial contributor, are spent Law
ishly for benefit of the States and
in amounts far beyond what some of
these States have paid into the
national treasury. When the District
is permitted to participate in the
distribution of such funds, it is only
with the specific permission of Con-
gress and becomes the exception
rather than the rule.
The District taxpayer is required
to pay heavily for the operation,
maintenance, building and beautifi-
cation Of the National Capital, and
therein are found two grounds for
grievance. Here, in local taxation,
the taxpayer not only lacks any voice
as to the kind and amount of tax, but
the Federal Government fails to meet
its own obligation as the exclusively
controlling national partner.
Any careful consideration of this
question is bound to result in the
logical conclusion that there is no
room in this country for so outmoded
a practice as taxation without rep
resentation, and that there is real
need for recognition of the lessons
and patriotic spirit of the Boston
Tea Party.

THIS AND THAT

to warmth. That is natures reaction.
but it cannot take place II one shrinks
away from the feeling of chilliness which
often Is encountered.
The overheating of public places, in
which most persons are dressed in over
coats, is a real menace to health, because
1t induces an invisible perspiration which
evaporates the moment the victim stems
into. the cold.
II there was enough coolness every.
where one goes there would be no risk Of
this sort to any one, even the warm
blooded.
green December is a good time for
the too tender person to attempt to build
up better skin resistance.
This is best done, In the early morning,
and Is nothing more than our old friend,
the cold bath, but with . significant
variation.
Even the physical culturists, so-called,
no longer advocate filling tub with ice
cold water and plunging in.
Even cold shower is a severe shock
to many.
Yet all persons, young or old, ought
to get the skin in ruddy condition to
resist temperature changes.
The real "how" is via the old-fashioned
"rag' bath. Anybody can stand a cold
bath this way and get the reaction OF
warm glow which is necessary, II one
is to get the benefit from It,
Take any type bath preferred, but end
up by going over the epidermis with q
washcioth wrung out Of cold water. It is
amazing, at least to some, how much
cold they can stand this way.
Not one square inch Of the body's thou
sands of square inches must be missed
for the best possible value. The old ex-
ploded idea was that the cold bath was
to be followed by rundown with rough
towels. The fact is that the softer the
towel, the better; the famous glow"
comes from within, not from without,
and the friction can be best applied with
q comfortably soft towel.
Many will hope for green Christmas,
therefore, if they are properly fortified

by vital, active skin, and by some
exposure to chilliness.
The basic background Of the garden
will be green enough If it has in it plenty
Of evergreens and grass.
The warm autumn, generally speaking,
has meant good grass everywhere. We
would warn against using fertilizer on
the grass at this season, or giving it any
other special care.
Use Of seed in bare spots may be tried,
but there is not much hope for it coming
up until spring. and by that time the
sparrows will have got 1t all.
Grass seed is far too expensive to feed
to birds. Grass will germinate as late
as November, if it is warm, but seldom
In December, no matter how warm it is
most of the time.
If this Christmas should be a green
one, let no one lament the fact, but
realize that good greenery is the basis
of the best sort Of celebration.

Urges Currency Legislation
PrOmDtly.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Federal Reserve Bulletin Of De-
cember discussed the phenomenal in
crease OF money in circulation and con-
cludes it is not an important develop
ment.
Reserve note circulation IA billions)
on December 7, 1885, was 1928 per cent
OF the high of 1929 1.9 billion.
Industrial production in November
rose to slightly above equality with the
1923-25 level, l. e., of 1913 years ago.
Deficits and public debts also have
been increasing and debts can be turned
into bonds and bonds with gold certifi-
Gates (non-cashable) turned into cur
rency.
Inasmuch as the Federal Reserve states
that 1t is not important that the amount
of currency is high while production is
low, assume that such is the fact. But
1t seems important to me that the quail
ity OF the high currency is low. It is
not cashable under ordinary circum-
stances, i.e., gold can be got for 1t only
for export, ETC., and under such cir
cumstances only 155/21 grains of gold
can be got for dollar instead of 258
as formerly. AS a standard medium of
exchange the dollar has been destroyed
by being made changeable at the will
of the President; changeable Is the
opposite of standard.
The foregoing facts seem to show ID
that we have no standard medium of
exchange or Of value, ca that the cur
rency is fiat, /. e., stage money, not CASH
able usually, 90 deprecated, a. in

We have not had normal activity of
industry or commerce and consequently

conditions. Such errors are Of legisla-
ton, not Of nature, and can and should
be corrected as quickly as possible.

state for change Of, venue came

Mr.. Cassidy intimated yesterday
that q request would be made by the
defense for the elimination Of wo-
men jurors from the panel selected
10 hear the case. This, he claims,
eliminates the claim OF Mr.. Acorn
that the court house here lacks the
facilities for q mixed jury during

Advance indications were that
defense counsel would offer lengthy
arguments In opposition 10 the mo-

advised the court Wednesday that
iiis oral arguments would be very
brief, and that insofar as he was
concerned, the hearing would not
take long.
Mr.. Alcorn makes no recommens

adequate facilities for women Jurors
