ST.PATR|CK'SDAY
Banquets, Balls, Receptions
and Other Ceremonies
Are Scheduled.

From the most humble to the high
est, the Capitals Irish today prepared
to give st. Patrick, patron saint of the
Emerald Isle, his due.
After-dinner speakers were ready
with flowery orations and bards tuned
up on Mother Machree" as one OF
the most widespread celebrations of
the holiday in recent years appeared
likely.
A long list Of banquets, balls, recep-
tions and other ceremonies will be held
during the evening, while this morn
Ing and afternoon special church serv.
ices were scheduled to mark the occa-
sion.
1t recalled the day in the 4th CEN
tury AID. that st. Patrick broke the
power Of the Druidic priests with the
doctrine of the Holy Trinity. and, ac-
cording to legend, drove all the snakes
out Of Ireland.
Dinner Is Scheduled.
One of the outstanding observations
was dinner and entertainment to be
staged by the Friendly Sons of st.
Patrick at the Mayfower Hotel to-
night. Senator O'Mahoney of Wy
oming and Judge Ffnis J. Garrett of
the United States Court of Customs
and Patent Appeals were to be the
speakers.
Spalding Council knights of Colum-
bus. planned a program of dancing,
games and other entertainment at
its clubhouse, 9l8 Tenth street NV,

The United Irish Club was to fea-
ture traditional Irish dancing to ap-
propriate music at its third annual
ball, at the Raleigh Hotel.
Hibernians Hold Mass.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians
oficially started the observance of the
holiday by attending 10 am. mass at
st. Patrick's Church. Diplomats and
members of Congress were among those
attending the mass, which was cele-
brated by the Right Rev. Msgr. c. F.

Talk OF difficulties of enforcement
has been heard since the days of
Leviticus. I suppose When the Ten
Commandments were formulated some
sapient sideline critic was there to
announce they couldn't be enforced.
I have some respect for the law

and plenty Of respect for the general
law-abiding proclivities Of the people
of the District"
The associations No. point was
that the proposed credit of intangible
tax against income tax would not
alleviate the hardship" that often
results from the intangible tax. To
this Mr.. Dirkson replied:
Assuming that there might be a
credit for the intangible tax, and
assuming also that it would work a
hardship, such hardships can be
remedied. That's what laws are for.

ness men, who in the last few days
have urged the subcommittee to con-
tinue the business privilege tax rather
than impose an income tax on the

Reviews Struggle.
Althouh the geographical location
of the United States strengthens our
ability to withstand attack from out
side sources, it does not render us
entirely immune from the working Of
force, within our borders, which are
aimed at the very integrity Of the form
of government our ancestors set up
after years of struggle and armed con-
fiict," Gen. Hines said.
Reviewing the struggle of the Amer
ican colonies for freedom and inde-
pendence as well as economic sus-
tenance, Gen. Hines declared when,
because Of world conditions" the
President asks Congress for adequate
national defense, I'VE hear a young
man tell committee of Congress that
he would not fight to protect the
United States" Another young man,
Gen. Hines added, intimated he would
bear arms only to defend Communism.
Protected by Liberty.
I'm other lands such statements
ml8HG we'll ledo 10 imprisonment OF
the firing squad" he pointed out.
But in our land Of freedom no harm
befalls these young men. The lib
critics which others fought and died
for still protect them.
Let those who prefer some other
type Of government go back to the
lands from whence they. came and
take with them all of their alien
'isms.'
Il think 1t IS our duty to see to
it that our boys and girls learn the
essential truths about our own Gov
ernment as we'll as about the other
governments Of the world. Our teach

Income Tax.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

If some folks spent as much time
boosting the District as they do In
seeking to dictate tax bill that will
put the burden on the othe- fellow,
the District would be the most con-
genial place in the land"
Thus Representative Dirksen, Re-
publican. OF Illinois, an active member
OF the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of
the House District Committee, which
Is writing the 1899 revenue bill, today
curtly answered critics OF the income
tax feature Of the measure.
Mr.. Dirksen directed his attack
chiefly at the Washington Taxpayers
Association, which, through its presi-
dent. Rufus s. Lusk, appealed to all
members of the District Committee to
scrap the proposed income tax and
substitute the existing business priv
ilege tax on modified scale
Six specific points were raised by
the Taxpayers Association in opposi-
ton to the income tax Each Of these
Mr.. Dirksen answered specifically.
Hits Escape" Plan.
In reply to point No. that an in
come tax would drive the wealthy
the large taxpayers-out OF Wash
ington, Mr.. Dirksen said:
ANY red-blooded American citizen
who would remove his residence from
the District solely for the purpose of
escaping income tax is not f1t to be a
citizen Of the District, or the United
States, for that matter"
Answering point No. 2, that the loss
of the wealthy taxpayers would mean
their estates would not .e probated
here. resulting in loss OF estate and
inheritance taxes, Mr.. Dirksen de-
clared:
mo matter in what Jurisdiction
their estates go to probate, they'll pay
estate and inheritance taxes because
all States now have such death duties"
The associations No. point that
the exodus of District residents to
nearby Maryland and Virginia, where
income tax rates are lower than the
proposed local rate of to 10 per cent,
would be intensified, was answered as
follows:
Talk Of an exodus to Virginia or
Maryland is bunk and childish prattle.
For years such an exodus has been
prophesied for one reason or another,
but somehow the District population
continues upward"
Replies on Exemptions.
For No. 4 the association cited the
possibility for exemptions under the
proposed income tax. Mr.. Dirksen's
reply to this as we'll as No. S, which

MEMORIAL PLAN
AGREEMENT SEEN
Conference at White House
Tuesday Expected to Pave
Way for Work.
By WILL p. KENNEDY.

ny WILL 4. hENNLD1
Complete agreement on the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial is expected to re-
suit from White House conference
on Tuesday, permitting work to be
started this summer.
Chairman Boylan Of the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Commission has
arranged to take a committee to show
the revised plans to President Roose-
welt. These plans by Eggert and Hig-
gins, for more than 80 years associated
with the late John Russell Pope, the
architect, have been drawn in con-
formity with the proposals tentatively
agreed upon by the President They
have been approved by the Memorial
Commission and by the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission.
The actual drawings of these plans
have just been completed and will be
shown at the White House confer
ence. They can be executed, Mr.
Boylan said today. within the author
ization of 100000.
The design is open and with a
collonade and an heroic statue of
Thomas Jefferson in the center. This
statue is to be dominating feature
of the memorial The sculptor of the
statue is yet to be selected. The me-
mortal is different from previous de-
signs in that it is without a dome,
which In earlier studies was pro-
nounced to be a distinctive feature of
the Jeffersonian style of architecture.
THE Memorial as now designed is
to be located on q site south Of the
Tidal Basin." Mr.. Boylan said. 1T
will not interfere at all with the con-
tour of the Tidal Basin and none OF
the cherry trees will be destroyed. We
are, very confident that we have at
last reached full agreement regard
ing the site and design. so that the
memorial can be promptly erected"
