District Tax Survey

The survey of the District tax

The Commissioners Tax Advisory

than its share at the present time.
The thought prevails throughout
organized civic circles that the mat

penses of the District must be con-
sidered as an essential factor in
formulating any revision of the tax
structure. The obligation exists
and has been acknowledged by
joint committees Of Congress after
exhaustive hearings and study of
the question.

and say, "Oh. what's the use?"
Our District problems are never

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Budget Requests Stimulating lnterest-12 Per Cent
Increase in Funds for Police Department
* SOUGHT.
Is Sought.
BY JESSE C. SUTER.

BY JESSE C. SUTER.
~ UDGET estimates of the
- various District govern
ment departments and
- agencies which are being
made public at this time are stim-
ulating an interest in civic prob
lens despite the warm weather.
The Police Department Is asking
an increase of IL per cent over
the current appropriation. Another
new precinct in the far eastern
section and the addition Of 1855
men to the force are included in
the recommendations. More motor
cycle men and the restoration Of
a mounted force on horses are also
sought by the major and superin-
tendent.
The chief engineer Of the Fire
Department is asking less for the
1910 fiscal year than for the pres
ent. New equipment, pumping en-
gines. hook and ladder trucks and
chiefs automobiles are included.
The estimates for this department
for the current fiscal year were
equally modest.
The Board of Education esti-
mates aggregate sl8,923.1l0-an
increase of 48 per cent over 1889.
The large increase is due to an
attempt of the board to catch up
in its program. which has been
deferred from time to time until
many acute situations have arisen.
Twenty-four building projects cost
ing S4,247 500 and 20 items for land
purchases estimated at $2,042, 900
account for most of the increase.
Many of the school building items
which were recommended for in
clusion in the P. w. A. program
are included in these estimates be-
cause of the uncertainty as to
whether they would be approved
Any approved P. w. A. projects will
be deducted from the estimates.
The District Parole Board again
requests force under its own con-
troll to handle that very important
work. The parole system has been
the subject of criticism from time
to time. but study of its opera
ton shows that the fault is not due
to either the system or any lack of
effort or ability on the part of the
public-sprited citizens who COM
pose the board. The real solution
of this problem lies in the provision
of adequate personnel under the
control of the board to supervise
properly those out on parole. The
board has always had the RESPONSE
bility, but lacked the necessary tools
to do its work.
Another District agency charged
with big responsibility and al
ways "hog-tied" through shortage
of personnel is the Public Utilities
Commission. The commission asks
additions of Is to its staff al an
additional cost of S12O,660. In 1894
Congress slashed the funds of the
commission by looping II off the
force. If the Is additional men,
bers of the staff are allowed, the
force will be only more than in
1894.
The report Of the collector of
taxes showed a deficit of revenues
of sl,So0,000. or 100000 less than
the estimated shortage. This short
age is known in civic circles to be
due to the failure Of the Federal
Government to pay its equitable
share and not to any shirking by
the District taxpayers.

Daylight Saving Law
Would Be Popular Here.

One Of the bills which will die
with the Seventy-flfth Congress
is H, R. 6546, which would have put
the District in line with the up.
to-date communities by providing
daylight saving" Travelling out
of the District and through the
North and East we find that the
clock has been advanced an hour
nearly every place one goes. Even
in the quaint old city of Quebec
the same summer schedule is be-
ing followed as in New York, Bos-
ton and Atlantic City and adja-
cent States.
Last May hearings were held
on the bill by a subcommittee Of
the House Committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia. and because
some little opposition the proponent
of the measure got cold feet" and
let it drop. Among those appear
ing at the hearing who favored an
early start and an early stopping
of business activity during the sum-
mer months there was a difference
of opinion. Some wanted all work
to start and stop an hour earlier,
but they seemed to have super
stitious dread of moving up the
clock. Others favored changing
the clocks as the most simple way
of making the change
BY advancing the clock all exist
ing schedules remain normal. No
new railroad or other schedules
would have to be devised either for
the summer or when the winter
schedules were resumed.
Two factors were responsible for
the failure to get anywhere
with this proposed law. It was
claimed that the burden of the
housewife would be increased by
reason of the breadwinner getting
off early and continuing his rec
reation so long as to necessitate
late dinner, which would tie the
wife up the whole evening. The
other factor was the objection Of
some of the farmers, out in the
United States, who claimed that
they would get less rest than under
the standard time system. This
objection seemed strange to the
civic leaders, who had always la
bored under the impression that
the farmers begin and end their
days work by the sun and not
the clock.
If this proposed legislation dies
with the Seventy-fifth Congress
why discuss it now, with Con-
gress away and the summer half
over and nothing to do about it?
This is one of the Districts Sc
rious problems, and though noth-
ing can be done about 1t immedi-
ately it is not too soon to begin
to organize a movement which will
coordinate the civic, business and
labor forces Of the community for
united drive. It is believed that
the sentiment locally for daylight
saving Is overwhelming and that
united front and a determined
stand will bring success 50 that
another summer the District will
enjoy the same summer privi-
leges as other communities.

BOTTL- Ed Gas Is
LUXURY AFFORDED
FOR m0HTANAHS

Propane and butane, the lique-
fled petroleum gas twins. were just
laboratory curiosities few years
ago.
After graduating from the sci
entific incubator, they we're used
for cutting steel. A few years ago
the petroleum industry hit on the
idea of packaging them in metal
cylinders and selling them for do
nestle heating and cooking use in
isolated areas.
The idea worked like charm
Sales OF bottled gas jumped near
ly q 100 million gallons In seven
years Farms struggling along on
wood ore coal in the kitchen range
blossomed out with hot water heat
ers, refrigerat0rs and gas lights
all the comforts OF home-at a
reasonable cost. Besides utilizing
a by-product OF gasoline manufac-
ture. the industry finds these gases
useful raw material in the manu-
facture Of many chemical products.
In Montana propane and butane
are extracted from the natural
gasoline that is recovered from the

householders are taking advantage
Of the availability OF bottled gas

doubtless, expand beyond the limits
of the few counties which are pro-
ducing oil at present. BY causing
this expansion in the oil industry
not only would statewide prosper
lity be fundamentally affected, but
the prosperity of the Educational
System would be greatly increased
Every person in the State is inti-
mately acquainted with the need for
more money for educational sys-
TENS, especially the State Univer-
sity. This lack of funds is the rea-
son for many parents sending their
children outside the state in order
that they may get an education in
subjects not touched by our present
University System. 1t might be pos
s5ble, through faithful adherence TO
this campaign, to improve our state
educational system to other schools.
in order to get the education along
the various lines that they want.
No one knows so well as these par
ents, the additional expense of out
of-state education. Yet, If they wish
to decrease this expense, it could be
done by merely spending money for
gasoline made from Montana crude,
instead of money which is being
spent by them, for other gasoline.
1t would be no additional expense
on anyone, but merely a shift on the
market, as to the gasoline, and
other products which are being pur-
chased. For, when we increase this
market for Montana crude, we In
turn are increasing our revenue
from various oil industries. which
revenue, in turn, viii go to our edu-
cational system in the form of taxes.
Not only would the added pur-
chasing of Montana crude increase
our educational facilities, but after
the students are out Of school, II
would in part alleviate the scarcity
OF jobs within the state, by aiding
in the building OF the oil industry
far beyond its present scope.
Were the industry to develop TO
such an extent, as would be pos
JibIe If we we're all to follow this
campaign, the possibility of taxes
going to our schools in a greater

be assured.
