of scatters a trail over q wide
area.
The real trouble is, with the
paper, the cartons, bottles and
cans thrown from moving We
hicles. This occurs downtown
and in the outlying sections of
the District. The pedestrian is
also an offender, but he could
be readily apprehended by the
police and required to pick up his
trash and deposit it in a recep-
tacle for refuse.
On the outlying thoroughfares
all sorts of paper cartons, paper
napkins, tin tobacco boxes, whis-
ky bottles, beer cans and bot
ties, newspapers and parts of
lunches are tossed out of passing
cars into the roadways, on the
sidewalks and lawns. Flower beds
and beautiful shrubbery are not
respected by these thoughtless
people who are forever on the 20.
Any wide awake observer
knows that the foregoing de-
Scrlptlon only scratches the sur
face in an attempt to give an
idea of this disgusting condition.
The big problem is, How are the
people to be aroused to some feel
ing OF pride in the Capital City
so that they will help make this
clean as we'll as a beautiful city?
The matter requires to be agi-
tated considerably that the peo-
pie may be awakened and ed
ucated into doing their share.
The pedestrians who litter up the
streets may be helped by hav-
ing more refuse receptacles. No
pedestrian should be required to
hazard crossing a heavily trav-
eled street for the sole purpose
OF depositing fruit skins, pea
nut shells or particles of paper
which he wishes to get rid of.
Several years ago this observer
saw a policeman require a man
to pick up every scrap of paper
he had thoughtlessly thrown on
the sidewalk and deposit them
IN the trash box 1t was a dis
gusted pedestrian. but the street
looked much improved when he
had completed the enforced Job.
Here is matter worthy of a
Dlstrlct-Wide civic campaign.
Many people sidestep when asked
to participate in civic campaigns
on the ground that the matter is
a controversial one. This is a
non-controversial matter and it is
really everybody's business to see
that the Nations Capital is clean
as we'll as beautiful. Unless it
Is clean and its highways free
from litter its beauty is sadly
marred.

Revenue Bill No Solution
OF Fiscal or Revenue Problems.

Despite the fact that a few Of
those active in civic affairs have
pronounced as good legislation
the 1899 District revenue bill, as
passed by the House, the general
verdict appears to be that the
measure is very unsatisfactory.
Such approvals are thought to
be broader than intended. It is
understood that these favorable
opinions have come from strong
opponents of the proposed sales
tax and proponents of a grad
uated income tax. Some were
also opposed to both the in
tangible personal tax and the
business privilege tax. These two
taxes are generally unpopular
and their repeal urged with prac.
tical unanimity.

Aid to Memory

In former generations parent
felt keen sense of duty to his
children, but it was a queer sort of
sense and queerer sort of logic
they practiced. Cellini, the famed
Italian artist, tells us that once in
childhood he saw a salamander
come out of the fire and when he
told it to his father, the latter gave
him a good thrashing-that he
might remember the remarkable
event the better!

A Clean and Beautiful City
Is EverybOdy's Business.

The old saying, what is every
body's business is nobody's busi-
ness" is probably true, but there
is a difficult problem In munic-
ipal affairs which might find So
luton if each citizen, or a SUBJ
stantial number, would assume
some responsibility and take an
interest. In few cities one goes into
are the streets and outlying thor
oughfares more Uttered with pa
pers and miscellaneous trash
than In the beautiful National
Capital.
The fault does not appear to be
with the city refuse department,
with the exception of occasional
carelessness on the part Of those
working on the trash wagons.

He said the tax in its present form

widespread and emotional criticism
which has been directed against it."
