for it is at these detectives the bill is aimed
primarily.
But they are as drops in the bucket compared
to all the propaganda that is loosed in the
United States. As matter of fact, the bill does
not even specify what is propaganda. Neither
does it define what is press agent, or agency"
Would the bill haul into its net the propa-

United States, whose main and avowed objective
is to peddle propaganda in the United States to
promote closer relations with Great Britain?
Whether you are pro English or anttEnglish, pro-

Relief Fund
Cut Fought
ByCitizens

District civic and welfare lead
erS will appear before the House
Appropriations Deficiency sub
committee on Thursday in an eff.
fort to defeat the Budget Bureau
proposal to cut District relief
funds to 100000.
Although 100000 is provided
for direct relief in the 1899 supply
bill, the deficiency appropriation
bill now before the subcommittee
contains a provision for the re-
moval of funds from the relief
appropriation for other purposes.
It is contemplated that money
should be taken from the direct
relief fund for contribution to
women'S WPA projects and for
transportation of nonresident in
digentS to their legal residences.
The subcommittee is holding
hearings all week on the final
deficiency bill, and expects to get
to the District items on Thursday.

Steel Holds Its DUN

I Asst week the steel industry about held its
II own. The activity in the chief consuming
industries shows no net GAIN but, at least, it
begins to seem that monthly average of about
80 per cent of capacity represents bottom.
The automobile industry continues to be sort
of fly in the ointment. Not only does it have to
contend with very small demand for its product,
but also with serious labor troubles. Great I'M
certainty exists as to new models, and the date
and price.
Railway traffic remains backward, with no indi-
cation of nearby turn. Retail trade seems to
have shrunk bit on account of the generally
unreasonable weather. But back of that lies I'M
relieved unemployment and reduced pay rolls,
Commodity prices, however, show little firmer
tone, and this may perhaps be the first little
ripples of the initiation that may come later.

These are the three fronts on which the bust

the third front, however seriously obscures the
outcome.

here. These men give up their lives to the care
and protection Of our four-footed friends
OF course it is necessary, I suppose to have
a pound for strayed and lost dogs in every city,
but what pathetic place it is. How much
better it would be if we could have organizations

suffering dogs and try to find each one that
could be saved, safe and happy home. The
pound is the end of the journey for IS out of 100

this is!
Child Savings Would Help
F EVERY child in Washington would get
little bank and once or twice a week in
stead of treating themselves to an ice cream cone
would put their pennies into savings account,
in no time at all this splendid work for our
dumb friends would be able to expand. They
would have living quarters for the poor sick and
homeless dogs and do wonderful piece Of work
And another thing before finish-it is per
feet disgrace the way this great wealthy govern
ment of ours sells off about 100 mules and
horses every year that are not fit to work any
more. These poor dumb beasts should be either
turned out to pasture or put out of their misery,
not made to finish their days in endless and
heartbreaking toll when they are hardly able to
walk The government should be ashamed to
stoop to such low depths in selling useless and
worn-out animals for just few hundred dollars.
We should all do our utmost to see that EVERY

new D. c. TAX
LAW IS SIGNED
BY ROOSEVELT
Levies Effective AS
Of July l
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

After a stormy passage in Con
gress, the 1899 District revenue
bill today became a law when Pres
ident Roosevelt affixed his sigma
ture to the measure.
Effective July /, the bill con
tinues the business privilege tax
in modified form and reenacts
the SITS rate on real estate. In
addition, it imposes a tax of SO
cents a barrel on beer.
LONG BATTLE ENDS
With the signing of the bill, the
President ended a controversy of
more than four months over the
form of a tax bill to meet the Dis
trict's $4,700, 900 deficit.
Although the President himself
lntimated at one time his approval
of an income tax for Washington
and the bill as presented to the
House by tax subcommittee pro-
vided for this type of tax, the
final measure continued the bust
ness privilege tax as a compromise
to meet House disapproval of an
income tax.
The Senate, after brief hearings,
inserted the tax on business gross
receipts after the House had re-
jected the income tax by an over
whelming majority.
RATES MODIFIED
This tax, at present a flat two
fifths of / per cent on gross re-
ceipts, is modified to fix a scale
Of rates, beginning with one-tenth
Of per cent and climbing to two
fifths, on the basis Of the spread"
between cost and resale price of
commodities.
The law is expected to yield rev.
enue as follows: Business privilege
tax. 81 900, 900; real estate, So, 000,-
600 and beer 100000.
The business privilege tax al
lows $4,000 exemption and is to
be continued for only one year. Be.
fore Congress reconvenes next Jan
uary, the special Congressional tax
committee is to have prepared a |
tax program to suit District needs.

For that matter, what is propaganda? There
