HUGE DEFICIT
FACES DISTRICT.
in NEW BUDGET.
Repeal of Business
Tax Forecast

An estimated $3,347,S19 District
deficit, that may eventually
amount to more than $500, 900,
was thrown into the lap of the
House District fiscal affairs sub
committee today.
Budget estimates for the fiscal
year 1899 transmitted by the PreSi-
dent to Congress revealed a budget
of $47,344,702, with the deficit
predicated on diScontinuance of
the current business privilege tax
and the ascent increase in the
real estate tax, and continuation
of the SIS, 900, 900 Federal lump sum
contribution.
Estimated revenues for the next
fiscal year are also based on the
assumption that the current busl-
ness privilege tax will bring in
So, 900, 900, and that $765,o 900 from
the street lighting fund will be
diverted to the highway fund.
DEFICIT NEARS
However, it is anticipated by
District officials that the business
privilege tax, which so far has
netted only $700, 900, will bring in
no more than $1,500,0 900. Should
there be a $500, 900 deficit from
this tax and should Congress re-
fuse to permit the diversion OF the
street lighting fund, the District
will go in the red for a total OF
approximately $500, 900.
To meet this anticipated deficit,
various tax proposals from a num-
ber of sources have been recon-
mended, and it will remain with
the fiscal affairs subcommittee
of the House District Committee,
of which Representative Jack
Nichols CD, of Oklahoma, is
chairman, to produce a tax pro-
gram.
The District Tax Committee, Of
which District Auditor Daniel ].
Donovan is chairman, has already
made it's report, recommending
diScontinLance Of the business
privilege tax, levying of a per
cent sales and a l per cent in
come tax, and an increase in the
Federal contribution to District
finances from the current $5,000,-
900 to $500, 900.
PLANS NUMEROUS
On the other hand, the Citizens
Advisory Committee on Taxation
has come through with SuggeS-
ton for an increased Federal con-
tribution to take care of the def
icit, and in the event that Congress
fails to be any more generous than
in recent years, imposition of a
sales tax.
At the Capitol, however, the
onus devolves on the Nichols sub
committee which tomorrow will
begin a study of the operation of
the tax program now in opera.
tion.
There are as many ideas for
a tax program on the subcommit-
tee as there are members, some
of them favoring an income tax,
others sales tax and variety
Of other proposals.
Representative Ross Collins
Cd, of Mississippi, who is in
charge of the budget in his posi-.
ton as chairman of the House
District Appropriations subcom-
mittee, announced that he favors
a 1-cent increase in the gasoline
tax, the revenue to be diverted
from the revenue fund to the gen
eral fund as a means of offsetting
the deficit.

Pay
Is Cut to $4,000

Poundmaster Frank Marks must
get along next year on his reduced
salary of $4,000.
The poundmaSter used to re-
ceive 5000 for his services on
behalf of Washington's friendless
dogs, but at the direction of the
House District appropriations sub
committee last year, his remunera.
ton was cut by $1,000.
Mr. Marks attempted to have
his salary boosted to the original
figure, but the Budget Bureau
failed him.

ArmOry Gets Funds

Under terms of the budget esti-
mates submitted to Congress to-
day. a total of $252,7 is made
available for the local militia, the
remaining $42,78o to be used for

ure is the same as was appropri-
ated for the current fiscal year.

ID. c. HIGHWAY.
FUNDS BOOSTED.
in NEW BUDGET.
Circle Underpass
Is Included

Headlined by provisions for an
underpass at Dupont Circle and
new bridge for Pennsylvania Ave
nue. over the Anacostia River, the
estimates for the highway fund,
gasoline tax and motor vehicle fees
formed a salient feature of the
1899 District budget made public
today.
The estimates totaled $5,722, 140
as compared with 1888 figure of
S4,613,79O which included $765 900
for lighting appropriated in the
general revenue account.
The Dupont Circle underpasS
and Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge
projects were included in a street
improvement estimate amounting
to $3.869, 900 for 1889 as against
$2,767,74O for the current year.
DUPONT CHANGE
Tc be built in the line of Con-
necticut Avenue in accord witt h
plans to be approved by the Com
misSioners, the un erpaSs was
awarded an estimated $3.50 600.
This would include alterations in
sidewalks, roadWays, sewers, street
and traffic lights and changes IL
the Dupont Circle Park reServa-
ton.
For initial expenses of the Penn
sylvania Avenue bridge, the
budget asked for $650,000. 1t
would authorize the Commission
ers to enter contracts for COM
pletion of the structure at a cost
not to exceed $2,O00,000.
TRANSFER LIGHTING
Highway items which would re-
main unchanged in 1889 included
Highway Department personal
services, $2S1 900; trees and park
ings, $126,6O0, and the is per cent
contribution for police traffic con-
troll, $508,010. Under the Revenue
Act of 1887, this contribution is to
be made in 1888 and 1899 for pay
and allowances to officers and
members of the Metropolitan
Police force.
The budget set forth no reason
for the transfer of the $765, 900
lighting estimate from the general
to the special fund category. AS in
1898, the budget stated this
money would be used in 1889 for
purchase, installation and main
tenance of lamps on public streets
and public places and for part cost
of maintenance of airport and air
way lights necessary for operation
of the air mail.

1Ol Employees to Go
AS Reduction Is Laid
To Security Benefits
Aid for EnlpIOyGbIeS
Vqnishes as Knife
Is Welded

Marking the lowest appropria-
tion recommended since the insti-
tuition of the Districts relief organ
ization, the Bureau of the Budget
recommended to Congress today
that 100000 be allotted for relief
activities during the 1889 fiscal
year.
This represents a reduction OF
S436,500 from the current years
appropriation of $l,336,5OO. BY
placing a 10 per cent limit on the
recommended appropriation for
personnel during the coming year,
the bureau played havoc with the
organizations set-up.
1O1 EMPLOYEES TO GO
The recommendation carried
with it a table for personal serV-
ices, providing for the reduction OF
the relief staff from 155 to 54 en-
ployes. 1t recommended among
those to be let out of the staff 38
social workers, 3 case supervisors,
z senior social workers, II clerks,
10 dictaphone operators, 4 typlstS
and other office employees.
Visualizing widespread suffer
ing during the present winter
months, the Board of Public Wei
fare had asked the Commls-
sioners to recommend a total OF
S3,447 900 for the 1899 relief fund.
The. board urged that $2,222,-
600 be appropriated for the gen
eral relief fund. With this it was
planned to aid unemployableS,
particularly cases which fell in
the social security category OF
aged and juvenile dependents.
EMPLOYABLES CUT
IN addition to the general fund,
the board urged that 81, 900
he allotted for relief of employ
ables. This class of unemployed,
the board related, is composed OF
persons who are willing and able
to work but unable to find en-
ployment. They have been eX
tended no aid from the relief or
sanitation for approximately two
wears. when the Federal Govern
ment withdrew from the field OF
providing funds to augment direct
relief.
In its explanation for the slash
of $436,5O0 from the coming
years relief appropriation, the
budget bureau stated increases
corresponding with the slash had
been made in social security
grants for old age, needy blind
and dependent children assist
ance under the Social Security
appropriations. The bureau stated
this will aid in cutting down the
local relief expenditures.
BLIND FUNDS
The District funds for dependent
children, old age and needy blind
assistance was fixed as follows
Dependent children, Sl63, 900, the
same as the current approprla'
tions; old-age, $705,000. an in
crease of $201 ,735 over the present
appropriation; and needy blind,
$40, 600, an increase of 1885. To
these funds, the Federal Govern,
ment adds fixed proportional
funds.
In the local old-aged pension di'
vision, the coming years budget
made way for a slash of 18 persons
from the staff, cutting it from SIS
to 81 persons.
The Washington times., 1938-01-05
NURSES ADDED

The appropriation for the Tu-
berculoSis Sanitorium at Glenn
Dale, Md, was fixed at $590,740,
an increase of SAG. .440 over the cur
rent appropriation of $541, ,440.
The increase allows for As addi-
tionaI employees.
Five additional nurses are pro-
vided for on the general nursing
staff in an So, 100 increase of the
appropriation. The budget bureau
recommended $151 $40 for nursing
service, { which compares with the
present appropriation of $143, ,440.

ASK S2,4O4,66O
FOR D. C, HEALTH

For the battle being waged by
Health Officer George C. Ruh-
land and his staff to improve
health conditions in the Nations
Capital, the Bureau of the Budget
recommended to Congress today
an increase of $191 ,470 in his de-
partmental appropriations.
The bureau submitted an item
of $2,4O4, $50 to carry the depart
ment through the fiscal year 1889,
which compares with the current
year appropriation of $2,213,190.
DR.. Ruhland asked for 100000
as a start on a 100000 medical
building at Gallinger Hospital. In
stead he received a $1,000 item to
patch up the vacated Tuberculo-
sis Hospital at Thirteenth and Up
shur SITS. N. W., to be used for con-
ValeScent adjunct to the hospital
GALLINGER INCREASES
The appropriation for Gallinger
Hospital, however, was increased
$S9, ,72O, from $743,660 for the
current fiscal year to 1888, $3.50 for
the 1899 year. Provision was made
for the employment of So new
members of the staff. The hospi,
tails fund for purchase of medical
and surgical supplies was in.
creased $4,000, from $4,000 to
$57,500, while the maintenance
and repair fund was stepped up
$1,000 from $270,O0o to $290,000
An item of 100000 was included
for the construction of health
center in the southwest section OF
the city. The department at pres,
ent is preparing for construction
of a $165 900 health center on the
site of the old Jones School at
First and L SITS. N. W., with funds
now available.

Lehman SqueezeS In

Lehman squeezed through by
some $4,000 votes, which is an ex-
tremely tight fit in vote of more
than 100000. He ran about a
half million votes behind the sue
cessful Democratic S sen atoria |
candidates. Senator Robert F.
Wagner, the author of much New
Deal legislation, and Representa-
tive James M. Mead. another al
dent New Dealer, who ran for the
uneXpired term of the late Senator
Royal S. Copeland.
Dewey. although losing, was by
no means obliterated as a political
factor, nor as future presidential
timber. He swept upstate New
York as no candidate ever swept
1t before, coming down to the
Bronx county line with a majority
of 100000. There he ran into a
682 900 majority which the Demo
cratic machine of the greater city
furnished for Lehman, and the re-
suit was he missed it by an eye
lash.

Prepare for 1910

From a practical political stand
point. the governorships which
: the Republicans won yesterday
mean more to the party. in terms
of 1910, than their notable gains
in Congress.
Back in power in the States,
possessed of patronage and the
machinery the Republicans can
now start organizing at the grass
roots for the presidential election
two years hence.
The Democrats retain New
York, Illinois, California, Indiana,
among the larger States, but they
have lost Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan. and they lost their
"allies" as well in Wisconsin and
Minnesota.

La Toilette Defeat

In Wisconsin, Gov. Phil La Fol

the head of his own Independent
Progressive Party, proved to be

once too often. He was defeated
by Julius P. He'll, Milwaukee in

Republican.

Conductor Found
Dead in GARAGE

Apparently a victim of carbon
monoxide fumes, Gordon S. Veg
enest, 81, Pullman conductor,
was found dead last night in the
private garage at the rear of his
home, 4437 Yuma st. N. W. The
ignition of Wegenest's automobile
was turned on and the gas tank
was empty, indicating the motor
had run for some time. His wife,
cc1rs. Irma Wegenest, found the
body. The coroner's office is in
veStigating.

Third Party Hopes Fade

The results in Minnesota and
Wisconsin would seem to dispose
of any serious third party threats
for 1910. Both the Progressives
and the Farmer-Laborites, be-
tween whom there was a close
affinity, are now out of office,
save for a few Senators and Con
gresSmen. Regular Republicans
take their places.
The Republicans maintain, and
with some justification, that the
results, considered nationally. con.
stitute a blow to Mr.. Rosevelt's S
personal prestige, and a warning
as we'll that the country is losing
its sympathy for further New Deal
experimentation along social and
economic lireS.

Victory for Youth

For the most part, the Repub-
ncan victories were won by
younger men-Robert A. Taft, in
Ohio, son of the late President
and Chief Justice; Leverett Sal
tonstall, in Massachusetts, who
stopped Ex-Governor Jim Curley's S
effort at a political comeback;
StasSen in Minnesota; youngiSh
William H. Vanderbilt. who led
the greatest Republican victory
Rhode Island has experienced in
% yearS; John 4 Danaher. in
Connecticut, who unhorsed Sen
ator Augustine Lopergan.
They meet, in part at least, the
party cry for new faces and
younger leadership in the councils
of the party that long have been
dominated by the elders.

Henry called poleic, who in
turn called firemen equipped with
gas masks.
When the firemen broke into
the residence they found the two
boys, windelI, 10, and Tommie, 7,
dead in a bed in front room.
Both apparantely had died peace
fully in sleep.
In a rear bedroom the bodies Of
Harper and his young daughter
were found on a bed.
Mrs. Harper's body was found
on the floor. an arm outstretched
toward a window, to which she
was believed to have been trying
to reach when the gas overcame
her.
Doctors said the family had been
dead five or siv hours.
