We Should Be on Our Own

THE House has voted to repeal the already nopera-
J. tive 6O-4O law under which the Federal Gov
eminent is pledged 10 pay 40 per cent of the Dis
trict's maintenance cost.
This solemn pledge has been ignored for years by
Washington's alien rulers The latest action brings
about an apparently permanent condition whereby
the Federal Government sets wholly inadequate
yearly sum for payment of the manifold services
dered to it by the city and for its exemption from
taxes its vast properties.
So now we are paying own way

Themselves but the Capital of the Nation which has
granted that right is denied a similar standing.
With the formal withdrawal of financial support
on which the Government has defauted for years. the
last vestge of right by which aliens rule us auto
matically disappears.
Representative Robert Bacon (R.) of New York
did Washington residents distinct service when he
denounced the ater-defeated local income tax levy
as subterfuge to place the entire cost of operating
the Nations Capital upon the voeless citizens who
side here.
Said Mr.. Bacon:

The trouble with the people

LaGuardia's PROPOSAL

MAYOR LAGUARDIA radioed to the nation night be-
4V1 fore last an antrecession scheme of his He
didn't claim it would bring prosperity eternal; but he did
say it might help American business and we think he
rt was right.
C C' The mayors premise was this That vari-
0"O0'"S European and Oriental governments are
substituting exports-forcng exports at beowcost prices
and making the difference the home producers out
of taxatonand thereby taking considerable South
American trade from u.s. His conclusion was: Why not
an American export subsidy SYSTEM to hold foreign
trade and make lot of jobs home in factories produc-
ing goods for export?
3 1t sounds reasonable to us. It is known fact that
Japan while doesn't have to subsidize exports is able
to undercu most other nations in world markets because
OF its extremely low labor COSTS Germany and Italy are
known to be substituting exports; and while the Depart
ment of Commerce hasn't any correlated statistics on the
subject at present. there is good to believe that
export subsidies enabling other nations to cut into
our foreign trade, as the mayor says
Export subsidies part look like one sure vav of
making jobs at home A heavier foreign trade would
help all the seapors. We hope the Administration and
Congress will seriously consider the mayors proposal
On the subject of LaGuardia we were interested in
the results of the annual senior poll at Washington
Square College Of
; NEW. YORK UNIVERSITY
| published Sunday.
1t seems that almost all of the $50 seniors at this in
stuton would be for Mayor LaGuarda if he should go
"proo;dout after the Presidential nomination.
We think the N. Y. U. seniors show
A"U""UM good judgment How LaGuarda's
chances in the rest of the country would be- we don't
know. But believe that if he should get any major
party nomination he would carry the pivotal State of
New York And in the rest of the country party lines
crumbing rapidly. The Democratic party, for ex-
the back to give the President slap in the face such
a minor issue as the reorganization bill.
Of one thing we convinced-that LaGuardia would
make as good President any man now aspiring to
be President, and better one than most.

No Friends
On the Rock

That's one reason why Valley
didn't have a friend on the Rock
when he got there-and why he
hasn't any now, except a few
cats who run around with him
because they've got nobody else
to run around with.
There were other reasons, too,
why Valley wasn't going to get
any warm reception when he
came down to the Rock from Nc
Neil. Joe KalanoSki, the mail rob-
Der who later went nuts and tried
to bust out his brains, had come
down ahead of Valley and had
fixed him up pretty. Kalanoski
told it around that Valley used to
step out of line every day and
squeak to the cloWnS-the guards.
Valley, according to the word
KalanoSki passed out, used to ask
the clowns if they'd caught his
partner, Bill Mahan, yet; and
when they told him, no, he'd say
that was too bad, and tell them a
few places to look-a few of Ma
hans hangouts where they might
turn him up. His object for this
cold-turkey Switching. of course,
was to try to tighten his own jolt.
That was also the object of the
double-cross he had put on his own
19-year-old wife, when he swore
that the Wyerhaeuser kid had
been taken out of the State of
