Logan-Thomas Circle
Citizens Advocate
D. {. Income Tax
Oppose SoIes Levy;
Liquor Dispensory
system Endorsed

A progressive personal income tax
to meet the Districts need for addi-
tional revenue was advocated last
night by the Logan-Thomas Circle
Citizens Association, which opposed
the proposed sales tax
The group unanimously indorsed
the report of its Special Tax Com
mittee in full. Other points in the
report opposed the business privilege
tax, the Intangible property tax and
any increase in the present rate of
$1.75 per hundred dollars value of
the real property tax. A $3.50 rate
for the real property levy was sug-
gested.
Claims Poor Burdened.
Horace M. Fulton, chairman of the
Tax Committee, presented the re-
port and offered the motion for its
Endorsement. He stated the grounds
for opposing the sales tax was a
result of study of the compara-
tive burden of such a levy and the
income tax, which proved the sales
tax to be unjust, inequitable and
burden on the poor"
A dispensary system for the sale
of liquor was approved by the asso-
citation on the motion of DR.. c. M.
Koomes. A resolution introduced in
the House of Representatives by
Representative Harry R. Sheppard,
which asks for study of the feasi-
-bility of Government sale OF liquor
in the District, was read and after
discussion on the question the mo-
ton was offered favoring promulga-
ton of the dispensary system.
Calls. for Local Option.
Local option on the establishment
of the dispensaries and the types of
liquors to be sold in them was in
cluded in the motion.
The group decided to have COM
mittee appointed to solicit for aid
to the Metropolitan Police Boys
Club. A contribution from the as
sociations treasury was also ap-
proved.
The meeting took place at the
home of the president, Mrs. Ella M.
Thompson.

looks like the biggest social event
Washington has ever seen.
In years past Presidents have

social set been promised an honest
to-goodness king and queen of a ma
jor power. And never before have

June, Washington already is
planning hoD to entertain them.

western couple who fancied a
neighboring husband and
wife. The four married peo-
pie got together to talk it
over, traded wives and chill
dren. A COW also changed
homes in the deal.
There are numerous di-
vorces throughout the ma
ton where couples are quick
to pick up the most foolish
and childish reasons for put
ting an end to a marriage
that might easily be God
made is only constancy, fair
ness and love had been used
in the proceedings. There
are difficulties in every home
but we are of the opinion
that folks hereabouts are not
signing the marriage pact
with one hand and the di-
vorce order with the other.

MUST THEY BUSTLE?

They give us the "World
of Tomorrow" In the next
issue we are informed that
the old-fashioned hustle is
what fashion dictates for fall
for female designs. This
appeal is written in protest
Of a nation turning backward
as it looks forward. AS
much out of place as satin
slippers with a MILDLY blouse,
so is a hustle with a stream
lined train, bullet shaped
auto and trans-continental
aeroplane. Style has asked
a great deal of man. It's
most recent infringement on
good taste being the amaz-
ing head-gear worn by wom-
en- folks. After giving us
ruffled petticoats that show
below the dress, it is asking
too much of any nature to
accept bustles with a smile.

TOO EASY

In reading the divorce
items in any paper, it is easy
to see that many marriages
are made for only a tenn
porary time. The main idea
used to be to do your think
ing before you took the step.
1t seems today, with divorce
made so easy, modern mar
riages are only trials and
tests. If the participants
don't like it, they can try
again with someone else.
You so often see where a
license to marry is obtained
Immediately after the di-
vorce is secured. Consider
how many frivolous mar
riages are made and think of
how often the reasons for
divorce are equally frivolous. /,
Take the case of the mid

AS powerful as is Fashion,
can she turn the freedom in
dress of our women into the
confined apparel of their
grandmother's day? This is
1889 when we look into a
test tube and see glass
turned into dress material,
linen" made from spruce
and hemlock, a combination
of water, coal and air trans
ferred into silk, another
form of silk made out of
natural gas. Could a hustle
enter into this picture of
things? The head of a large
advertising agency is amazed
that newspapers aren't CIV
ing more space to this new
trend. We figure the women
will do what they like with
out any space, but we couldn't
pass up the chance to make
the comment.

Folks Awakening to Fact
That Waste Must Be Paid For

We have witnessed waste in more
forms in the last few years than
ever happened in our nation or any
other. Folks throughout the coun-
try are awakening to the fact that
this waste has to be paid for, be-
cause taxes are beginning to sneak
up on them from the most unexpect-
ed directions. There will be more.
OF that, there can be no doubt.
Meanwhile, instead of slowing I'D
federal spending, we find AAA pay
ing 81 for garden. There should
be something in the way of aid for
those who grow window boxes.
It was only the other day that the
treasury released final figures on its
condition at the end of the fiscal
year, July l. Those figures showed
that the government had spent
S., SOC, 10000 more in the last IL
months than it had taken in by taxa
ton. Shortly, thereafter, private
organization issued a statement
showing income and taxes of 1853
great corporations. Those figures
which were claimed to be official
revealed that only about half of
those corporations had made enough
money in the last year to meet
their tax bills. In some instances.
the taxes paid by those corporations
amounted to as much as three times
the income that was left to them
after they had paid their workers
and their overhead expenses. %
Thus, it seems to me that when
our government is running so far
behind; when it is already taking
from its citizens as much or more
than they earn in taxes and when
more taxes are as certain as death
is to all of us, when these condi-
tons exist it is about time to take
stock and see where we are going
to end up. The future is not so
black but that we can see streaks of
light in it, and these problems can
be solved. They can be solved rath-
er simply, too, f-as in the case of
the vegetable gardens-we stop to
tgure that government is going to
take several times So for every vege-
table garden brought under this new
scheme of cooperation"

1t was in the year 1868
that a newspaper editor

muscular exercise through
swimming. He suggested
that this be taken up by
more Americans where pos
sible TO suit the sport to the
climate. Since exercise wards
off disease the editor of 1868
hoped that some day there
would be such a thing as a
swimming rink" Today we

Lessons in swimming are
given in schools and camps.
Matrons may learn in Y. M.

because they enjoy it rather
than because it wards off
disease. But whether you
are a wader, dabbler or float
er, take advantage of stream,

OF course, as l said, the regula-
tons have not been issued and so l
do not know what will constitute a

ing of this act" as the official rules

think it can be said safely now
that the regulations will extend the
law just as far as human ingenuity
can stretch language. The idea will
be to embrace as many of the farm
ers as can be brought under the

nation. None will be overlooked,
except perhaps those like myself
whose farm consists of backyard
some go feet deep wherein are
crowded flowers that love.
I guess that I will not get any
payment for planting trees, either.
But the real reason I resent this So
payment is that it represents a gil
gantic reduction in the price of
votes. I think those AAA men
haven't learned much about politics.
They've gone sissy. The new price
sounds like fire sale. They ought
to know that no votes induced by
that price will stay put.
But to get serious about this thing,
this new atrocity that is being put
over in the name of farm aid, it
ought to be said that never in all
recorded history has there been any
such thing attempted before. That,
OF course, is no answer. It is an
answer, however, to say that some
governmental policies, like the ac-
tons of some private persons, are
so utterly ludicrous that they hardly
warrant discussion. Further, we
ought to remind ourselves that in
this instance a government, sup
posed to serve all of the people, is
undertaking the course. To my
mind, the fact that government is
doing it makes it perfection on the
aSinine side.

NoD Comes the Pay-OH
On the 1910 Farm Program,

Next comes Commercial vegeta-
bles." There is to be designation, as
this year, of commercial vegeta-
BILE countless" the designation, of
course, to be done by AAA officials.
Commercial vegetable farmers, aft
er they sign up and do as they are
told, will get payments, too, and /
hope the arrangement will make the
green onions that my wife buys from
the commercial vegetable man who
calls at our door somewhat less
spongy.
And now, we give you the pay
off on the 1910 program.
Next year, any farmer who grows
a vegetable garden will get $2-two
whole dollars that are still highly
regarded by me-if he Cooper
ates" and does as he is told by the
AAA master farmers. If. he fails to
grow that vegetable garden, he will
be locked 81. The government will
get it, too. Uncle Sans boys are
good at that. To make sure about
getting that So fine, the AAA will
deduct it from whatever other paw
ment that the farmer has earned.
The regulations have not been is
sued yet so / cannot report to you
in advance what you will have to do
to get your 81. The AAA may pos
sibly tell you that you have to grow
so many rows of radishes, so many
hills of beans of two or more types
maybe some pole beans if you have
planted trees under the reforestra-
ton program. Or they may tell you
to produce so many yards of spin
ach, and there must be carrots and
peas, because children must eat car
rots and peas. And potatoes! want
to warn the AAA about potatoes.
Maine and Idaho voters may kick
about including potatoes in the list
OF must" vegetables. In the South,
there ought to be melons, for there
is nothing like a good ripe water
melon. Medical men advise squash
in the diet, along with rutabagas.
AS special favor to me, l am 60
ing to ask that onions be included
and planted alongside that row of
tomato vines,

Bruckarts Washington Digest
Whole Farm Program for 1910 Is
To Be Broadened, AAA Announces
Soil Conservation to Be Stressed Increased Opportunities
Given for Participation by Small Farmers; Folks Are
Awakening to Fact Waste Must Be Paid For.
(WNU SERVIcE)
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg Washington D. c.

WASHINGTON press release
has just come to my desk from the
Agricultural Adjustment administra-
ton. It outlines the farm program
for 1910. That is next year. The
statement from the AAA press bu-
reau announced that the 1910 farm
program was evolved at three-day
conference of approximately 100
AAA farmer-committeemen and 9TH
ers interested" acting for all of the
millions of farmers. It explained
that the whole farm program is to
be broadened, but I will quote the
opening paragraph, which is, of
course, official:
Increased emphasis on soil con-
servation, increased opportunities
for participation by small farmers
and greater responsibility of admin
istration by the farmer committees
are included"
I have watched the AAA officials
operate for five or six years. They
are still struggling for that more
abundant life and, therefore, I have
observed the changes with some
curiosity. Also, there has been a
certain amount of humor in what
they have done-not humorous for
the farmers but for an onlooker
whose life savings and hopes were
not directly at stake. There never
has been a dull moment. Some
times, the antics have resembled
the movements of whirling der
wishes of the desert in their most
fervent moments of prayer; other
times have produced attitudes on
the part Of the officials and their
underlings that strangely resembled
a mouse-colored and very stubborn
mule that my father once owned,
and then, again, there would be
forthcoming schemes so fantastic
that only a person wearing the de-
gree of doctor of philosophy could
have read the words without turn
ing to Mr.. Webster's unabridged edi-
ton of the dictionary. They have
gone from the doctrine Of scarcity
to the doctrine of some other ex-
treme and most things in between,
always requiring, however, that the
farmer must sign up a contract with
a lot of dos and don't's.

Just a Word of Praise
For AAA Administrator

That l may not be accused of be-
ing common scold, let me give
the AAA administrators a word of
praise just here. The soil building
and soil conservation phases of the
program likely are going to be valu-
able although / fail to understand
why anybody thinks it is necessary
to pay farmer to keep his own
land in good shape. But, skipping
my own thoughts on that, there is
justification for governmental inter-
est in helping to restore soil on a
national scale because our nation is
going on for number of years =
we hope.
Then, too, there is argument ia
vorable to a policy of government
encouragement in the planting of
trees, a program of reforestation.
There is, of course, that famous
parity" business. There is a fund
of $225 900, 900 which bunch of vote
getting congressman put into law.
From it, the AAA officials can pay
farmers producing wheat, cotton,
corn, tobacco and rice certain sums
If the price of these commodities
is less than '75 per cent of parity. :"
We have had that one before and
after many trials tho are still
