The permits of District motor

miles an hour in the State Of
Pennsylvania will be suspended
for a period of not less than 80
days here, according to the terms
of a reciprocal agreement an
nounced today by Traffic D1lec'

The local board of revocations
and suspensions reserves the
right to temper the severity of
the penalty, however, in referring
to the operators previous traffic
record in the District.
The decision to cooperate with
Pennsylvania authorities wa S
reached shortly after that State

manding forfeiture for 80 days of
all motorists convicted of ex-
ceeding the 50.mile limit on its

Van Duzer also requested Penn

what cooperation is being received
from the States of Maryland,
Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia
and New York, with view to
establishing a similar plan of re.

Says Boake Carter

per cent Of the people were in favor of at least
discussion of the Ludlow proposal, even if some
of that percentage did not favor the referendum,
as such.
The House, under all the pressure the Admin
istraton could bring to bear to defeat the propo-
stion, did good job of representing" the ma
jority wishes by voting for the 27 per cent!
Four Points at Issue
There are four points which should not be
lost in the decision of the House to refuse even
to talk about the issue, even though 73 per cent
of the people expressed wish that their Repre-
Sentatives CD do so:
First: The request Of a majority in democ-
racy can be nuliified to the equal extent that
the processes Of Democratic Government are null
lifted by the few in control of political power.
Second: The control by the President Of Con-
gress was clearly indicated by three factors: (a)
Party pressure to keep recalcitrants in line;
(b) the letter and its timing for release to Bank
head from Roosevelt; (c) Government propa-
ganda aimed to befuddle the issues to confuse
the legislators.
Third: The stupendous drive of the Admin
istration to prevent even the most elemental
principles of democratic procedure-free de-
bate-reveals the intent to keep full control of
all foreign policy matters in "the hands of
few"
Fourth and last: The astonishing amount of
pressure the Administration was forced to exert
to choke off free discussion and thumb it's nose
at the wishes of 7S per cent of the people would
indicate that the people themselves are firing
rapidly of serving as the goats" for wars on
foreign soil. waged under the baloney-title of

that the wife of the commander of Fort Bliss,
who had invited me to come out to lunch the next
day, wanted to see me that evening. OF course,
did not believe word Of this, but said I would
see her. Around eleven o'clock that night Means
arrived with two of the most awful looking women

OF course, at heart, Means was really coward.
He wouldn't mind shooting woman in the back,
but don't think he would have the nerve to hit
in the eye.
He had most remarkable fund of stories, and
an unquestioned charm of manner If Means had
put that restless brain of his to work in construc
tive way he undoubtedly would have been one of
our big men today.
AS for my part in the Means matter, feel that
success is held by everybody in this world to be a
great achievement, but when you fail, no matter
what your intentions may have been, you are
generally held up to ridicule and contempt.

explained. 1--WE played the owners slot machines
and roulette and it was very profitable
"And you had fun, didn't you? That's the
theme song Of Florida. Have fun"
But how do you reconcile this happy thought
with your laws?"
IF you will be persistent, I'll confess" my
authority said In Miami Beach we had a
system last season of controlling gambling. It'll
probably be the same this year. The games
went on, daily nightly. Hundreds of kinds. The
tourists crowded the bright spots; spent their
money freely. So the law worked out plan.
Every week it raided each place. Sent officers
in at given hour.
'"The games were not interrupted but the
proprietor was arrested and taken to the sta
tion house. Fined $50 and returned to his place
in time to make up for the fine that night. No
body was inconvenienced and the letter of the
law was followed. Don't forget this is a resort
town. There's gambling in Washington where
you come from. But you don't run into it as
freely. Or maybe you don't have time to look
into the gambling situation in the Capital We
just strive to accommodate you visitors and
make your stay pleasant"
Only IS Cents to See Dog Race
Not that my stay has been so pleasant from
a gambling point of view-otherwise it has
been so perfect don't see how can leave. Last
night we went to the dog races And lost on
every race. On the way back we sat in game
of keno and lost on every card. Keno and
bingo are the old nursery "lotto' gone wicked.)
But the dog race was fun Florida fun. Only
25 cents admission unless you have box seat
or a card to the clubhouse
All of Florida reminds me of a whippet race.
You're always chasing mechanical rabbit. You
never catch the rabbit-if you do it turns and

Boake Carter letter to Speaker Bankhead,
in which he declared such a referendum was
"not compatible with representative government"
In 1924, just five years after the World War,
the Democratic Party convention adopted plat
form containing this plank:
"Those who furnish the blood and bear the
burdens imposed by war should, whenever pos
sible, be CONSULTED before this supreme sacri-
flee is required of them"
They Backed H-Then
Among those who indorsed that plank, believ-
ing then that referendum on war was highly
compatible with representative government"
were Franklin D. Roosevelt and Cordell Hull, both
Of whom were merely delegates to that conven-
tion. Today one is President and the other Sec
retary of State.
When they were not running the Government
both considered a war referendum a worthy,
noble and quite proper thing When they are

DEFEND ESTIMATES


School officials, whose hearings
before the subcommittee yesterday
were postponed until today, are
appearing in defense of school es-
Inmates totaling $13,328,076. as
compared with last years appro-
priation of $12,800,725.
Estimates for 1899 include
funds for 81 additional teachers,
20 new janitorS and several Of
ficials, as well as $1,583,1 $50 for
construction of buildings. These
buildings include two new ele-
mentary schools, one at Third and
Hamilton Streets Northwest, and
the other at First and Pierce
Streets Northwest. Funds are also
allocated for continuing construc-
ton on other buildings now being
erected.
Mr.. Collins stated that the
average cost per pupil in Washing
ton is higher than in any other
city in the country, with the ex-
ception of New York.
COST PER PUPIL
The cost of educating each
pupil in Washington, he said, is
$125.10 a year, whereas in New
York, it is $134.13.
The cost per pupil is less than
500 in such States as Massachu
sets, New Jersey, California and
Della ware, he said. and in
Wyoming and Nevada the cost is
more than $100, principally, he ex
planned, because of the scattered
population. The lowest education
costs are in Arkansas, Mr.. Collins
pointed out, where the cost per
pupil is $24.55.
Hearings on the school esti-
mates probably will continue for
several days next week.
