privilege Of doing business"-not the
privilege Of doing . profitable business.
The tax Is set up az another barrier
which the local professional or business
man, as we'll as those with whom he
trades outside the District, must hurdle.
The tax was hastily drawn and contains
provisions highly unfair in their appli-
cation. Some who can afford to pay 1t
are able to escape it. Some who can Ill
AFFORD to pay 1t are stuck. Its terms are
more harsh than those of the State laws
on which it was supposed to be modelled.
And there Is something peculiarly dis
tasteful in the spectacle Of the poll
ticians, Mr.. Kennedy not being among
them, who beat their breasts in anguish
over the prospect of the same sales tax
in the District of Columbia which their
own constituents have enacted for
themselves back home, and at the same
time point with pride to this obnoxious
form of sales tax under another name.
If the people of the District have to
pay this unfair tax, it is wholesome and
only fair that those who live outside the
District but who do business here should
also pay it. But no one should be forced
to pay tax Of this kind, unless 1t is
modified in many respects, because it
is applied in blind sort Of fashion
which disregards ability to pay or the
value OF the privilege" against which
the tax is levied. Some day the tax
boosters who continue to add to the
burdens of business under the guise of
soaking the wealthy" will find that they
have soaked once too often and in the
wrong place.

Relief Demonstrations.

A huge mass meeting Of citizens has
been proposed as q means Of impressing
Congress with the urgent necessity for
appropriating more money for local
relief. 1t Is suggested that the "fore-
most citizens In town" participate in
the demonstration.
The proposal has its merits. At least
1t would show 4 unanimity Of public
opinion on . social problem Of incrsas-
ngly grave import In the Nations
Capital. The dificulty with the plan.
however, is that Congress has seen 20
many mass demonstrations Of one sort
or another In the past few years that
it no longer seems to take them Al
seriously as it once did.
. A more effective plan, perhaps, would
be to arrange mass demonstration not
by leading citizens, but by starving men.
women and children whose very exist
ence depends on relief funds. It has
been said that the poor are always with
us, but social workers accustomed to
dealing with Chronic" poverty have been
shocked by conditions found on q recent
survey Of foodless, heatless homes in
Washington.

to mass demonstrations, but they ars

spectacle Of the menace of starvation.
Reports and statistics cannot convey
adequately to busy legislators the mag
nitude of the misery which competent
observers have found in this civilized
community.
The serious objection to this plan,
however, is that 1t involves exploitation
OF human misery. The victims Of hunger
suffer enough as 1t is. without dragging
them from their miserable novels into
the limelight Of public inspection.
Few II any Of the sufferers would
object, on the other hand, II conscien-
tious legislators went on a tour of homes
where conditions are typical, to see for
themselves the seriousness of the prob
lem which has been placed In the lap Of
Congress by municipal authorities.
AS the Washington Council Of Social
Agencies so aptly declared, = starving

busy Congressman, confronted by such
a sight, would hesitate to become party
to any action tending to make the

If the treatment OF Dupont Circle and
Thomas Circle proposed in the District
appropriation bill were to be financed
from general revenues, the argument
for economy" would. Of course, prevail
in this lean year and both plans would
be set aside. temporarily at least.
But the work is to be financed from
gasoline and other special motor taxes
which were increased last year by Con-
gress. The money is available only for
expenditure on highway improvement
and kindred projects. If it is not spent.
the motorists who have been forced to
pay the higher taxes will have been taxed
excessively and for the accumulation
of = useless surplus.
The tunnel operations proposed for
the two circles are designed to remove
two distractions to the heavy flow OF
street car and automobile tranac, while
preserving the beauty of the circles
themselves. Necessity for some such
treatment long has been recognized

reached an appalling condition during

the congestion by speeding the now The

Increase in Big Bills.
From the Illinois State journal.


Comment is made on an unusual in
crease in the number Of $1,000 bills In
circulation. During the past year the
increase was more than ten-fold. The
value of such bills in circulation in 1887
was $3.50, 100000.
Cash pay-offs involving the passing Of
"grands" are usually associated in the
public mind with shady transactions.
The denomination, thus designated, is
common in the underworld lingo, actual
and on the screen. Thousand-dollar bills,
too, are usually shown in screen portray
ais of fiction dealing with gangsters and
corrupt politics.
However, the real-life crook fights shy
of the "grands." Bills Of large denomina-
tion attract attention. Unless one takes
them to bank they are difficult to
change. Disposing of them is as dim
cult as getting rid Of jewels-even more.
so. They are regarded everywhere In
the underworld as "hot."
Presumably, those extra $1,000 bills
came into circulation for legitimate pur-
poses. Possibly they can be accounted
for by an increased demand for currency
Of large denominations at licensed race
tracks.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES 3. rRAcRH5LL.

"of course" he said earnestly. = don't

OF course. let u comment, hs should
like jazz music.
There IL but one music, % Debussy
said.
JAZZ" popular music, Swing" call It
what one will, 10 Just one facet Of q
greater whole.
The old composers, the musical 4m-
mortals, could they come to earth today,
no doubt would like nothing better than
. good dance band playing what Is still
called q fox trot.
The great Bach, who wrote. among his
many works, some called, trio sonatas,
would find himself quite ut home while
listening to "Bei Mir Bist Du schon."
The little facets Of the one music are
quite as important, in . little way, ~
the greater.
The big mistake many persons make,
In regard to popular music, Is to believe
that it Is all Of = piece-all poor stun.
To the contrary, some Of It Is very
good.
There is no more opportunity here,
than with more serious work, to regard
everything as II Of one uniform quality.
There Is good popular music. mediocre
popular music. fair popular music, poor
popular music and very poor popular
music.
You can't get away from using such
brains and taste as you have in judging
light music any more than in judging
the more serious kinds.
There is but one music" the French
composer said.
What did he mean by that? Did he
mean that there could be but one kind
OF music, or one school Of music, or music
good for you and not good for me? Did
he mean that music was something for
highbrowS alone, or for lowbrows alone?
Could he possibly have meant that the
world OF music should have a musical
dictator, and he should be the dictator? :?
He did not.
He must have meant that If a piece
Is music. 1t Is real music, whether 1t is
elaborate or simple, whether 1t is grave
or gay, whether it Is march or q waltz,
whether 1t makes listeners happy or
SAD, Wnether IT Is called symphony"
or dance, whether it is by Ludwig van
Beethoven or George Gershwin.
He meant that music has the function
OF emotional expression as its own, and
that SO long as it expresses emotions it
is music.
1t is easily seen. then. how a listener
is making an intellectual mistake II he
sums up popular music with the queer
word "jazz' and proceeds to sneer At it.
He is falling into pattern OF thought
which, like so many thought patterns, is
based on misconception and ballyhooed
ever thereafter as the truth.
Pretense seems to be q precious part
OF mans mental equipment.
We must pretend something or other
just to show" somebody else something
or other.
If it is fashionable to like classical
music it is best to pretend not to like

Spain's 5 Verdun.

SPANS Verdun, the ancient Arason
capital one hundred and sixty miles east
OF Madrid, has come once more into
1nsurgent possession. Recaptured by the
government IN q surprise counter
offensive exactly two months previous
to the day, the pivotal city again sue
cumbed to an encircling movement by
Frances armies. Under the generalis-
simos personal command they battled
Tor weeks to recover the position, domina-
ton Of which permits the rebels to split
government territory on the eastern sea-
coast between Barcelona and Valencia,
The republican high command was cor
respondingly concerned to exhaust every
resource to retain Teruel, conscious that
its loss might pave the way for Frances
half-year -old project Of a decisive drive
to the governments last strongholds
Whether, as a result of the reported
orderly withdrawal of their main army
from the blood-soaked terrain around
Teruel, the Loyalists are still able to
offer invincible resistance in defense Of
Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona, the next
few weeks should tell They should re-
veal, too, to what extent the insurgent
forces are able to follow up the strategic
victory they have just won.
Following 50 closely upon Hitler's an
nouncement Of sustained Italo-German
interest In Francois fortunes and Of the
Fascist relationships desire for the tri-
umph Of their Spanish co-ideolosist, it
is reasonable to suspect that the In
surgents this week put forth superhuman
efforts to score military success that
would impress their allies in Rome and
Berlin. General Franco recently also
took political steps designed to promote
his regimes recognition by Great Britain
and France. Italy and Germany having
long since acknowledged it. To that end
his revolutionary junta was scrapped and

the rebel leader as president That the

to think it may end in . draw, with q
division Of the peninsula into two gov

lican. The present balance of fighting
power points to such an outcome. While
the Insurgents have the advantage in
artillery and air force, the Loyalists
possess superior motorized equipment and
probably greater man power. If . de-

Organ recording has made marvellous
advances In the past year. Today the
best organ discs really sound like the
best organs.
1t is possible to play one Of the great
Bach's trio sonatas, previously men,

ment nearest to the organ he knew.
There is one Of the movements in the
trio sonata, No. S, in c major, which
might well be given the title THE Birth

syncopation which most people today
think an invention Of this country.

THAT means you're grand" says the
song, but 1t really means ITO me you
are beautiful" Come to think OF 1t,
what more perfect love song could there
be? TO me you are beautiful! There
Is nothing more one could say except,
perhaps, Il love you"
A fair hearing Of this present favorite
OF the "jitterhounds" shows 1t to be of
musical piece with the trio sonata On
the organ this is easy to understand, to
grasp with the ears, and also with the
mind.
1t Is curious fact that among the
1npumerable compositions of Bach Is an
ara entitled "Bist Du Bel Mir" which,
translated, means, we believe, Are
You Near Me?"
Another curious misconception is that
there is something definitely horrible
about using theme out of some old
master work for modern dance tune.
Why this has been done by the best
composers since there first was music!
1t Is part of the thing and seldom
