A Site in Southwest
Latest PROPOSAL for ArmOry.

The supply bill carries an au-
thorized appropriation of $780,
900 for the purchase of a site in
Southwest Washington and prep
aration of plans for District
of Columbia National Guard
Armory. This money is part of
the unused appropriation of $780,
900 for the Municipal Center, the
other S35O0OO was made avail
able for beginning construction
Of the new central library build
ing.
Every one has been looking to
the erection of the armory at the
foot of East Capitol street, in
connection with the construction
Of the proposed great stadium. 1t
is claimed that the type of build
ing required for the armory would
not be in keeping with the monu-
mental development contemplated
for the East Capitol street i'm
provements. Just what the out
come will be cannot be forecast.
The District citizen soldiers are
striving earnestly and have been
for a long time to get a suitable
home. They have never had one
since the early days when the old
building on Armory Square was
in use-and that was probably
about 80 or more years ago.

tenn of the District this is re-
garded as a congenial arrange
ment.
The needs for the new central
library are recognized by Chair
man Ross Collins to be pressing
in order that the library system
may be able to serve its patrons
throughout the existing library
establishment and to take care
of additional branches for which
many neighborhoods are plead
ing. The immediate problem as
to meeting the community library
needs is the getting at the earliest
possible moment of an adequate
and up-to-date central plant.
Various civic committees, which
have gone thoroughly into this
problem, know that those who de-
sire to hasten the building Of
additional branches or sub
branches can make real headway
by using any influence they may
possess to get the new central
building. Central library is clearly
the key to the situation.

Civic Groups Now Can Study
Fiscal Outlook for 1910.

Only little driblets of informa-
ton regarding the proposed ap-
preparations for the fiscal year
1910 have been available for the
consideration of the civic groups
representing the District taxpay-
ers. The report of the appropria-
tion bill, the release of the printed
hearings and the passage of the
bill by the House all came in such
rapid succession on Thursday as
to stagger any attempt at analysis.
Now the information is avail
able and there will be little
time to learn what it is all about
and get ready for making appeals
to the Senate Subcommittee for
notifications desired by the or
ganized civic and business groups
as we'll as by individual citizens.
The bill as reported and passed
by the House carries a Federal
lump sum payment of S5.000,0 900.
1t is hoped in the civic organiga-
tions that Senator Overton, chair
man of the Senate Appropriations
District Subcommittee, will be
able to substitute the Overton
plan for the lump sum. Should
this be done and accepted by the
House the thought of additional
new taxes will be far more re-
mote.

The Summers Amendment
Drawn to Meet Objections.

An important event of the week
was the introduction in the House
by Representative Hatton w.
Summers of Texas, chairman of
the Committee on the Judiciary,
of a joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution
empowering Congress to provide
District people with a participa-
ton in the councils of the Nation
and other fundamental rights.
The Summers amendment marks
a new departure in that it has
been drawn with a view to meet
ing objections which have been
raised to the Capper- Norton and
the Lewis-Randolph proposals.
Under the Summers amend
ment Congress would be enabled
to provide the people of the Dis
trict with all of the rights and
privileges specifically set forth in
these other proposals. The novel
features are first, there is no at
tempt to write a statute into the
Constitution as the specific de-
tails of the other proposals have
been termed, and second, any
legislation enacted under the
authority given Congress by the
amendment may be amended or
repealed. This power of revoca-
ton, however, is limited as to
such amendment or repeal shall
affect the Office of a Senator or
Representative during the time
for which he was elected.
The Summers amendment Is in
two sections and is as follows:

Further Sales Tax Exemption
Asked In Legislative Bills
Opposition Increasing
To Higher uition Fees

the burden of maintenance of these
institutions is ill-timed and economi-
cally unsound," said Senator Bellamy.
MANY worthy students will be de-
MED an education if the tuition fees
are increased, due to the fact that
the earnings of their parents are
greatly impaired and every 'seif-he p
agency is overtaxed with requests
for work to aid them in obtaining
higher education.
A tremendous volume of opposition
among the students themselves is
clearly obvious right here in Raleigh,
the most casual conversation with
State College students revealing a
deep resentment at the proposal to
increase tuition fees.
1t is now proposed in some quarters
to try to shift the whole increase to
out of the state students, but others
point out that such action might well
cause loss, rather than gain in reve-
nue., as the necessary increase would
be so high as to drive out-of-state
students out of the state for good.

Lerida, Spain, Jan. 13.-(AP)-(Be-

capture of Tortosa, 100 miles south
of Barcelona, and strong point of the
governments defense system along
the lower Ebro river
Insurgent officers reported a
Moroccan corps had hammered its
way through government defenses on
the northeastern bank of the Ebro
and had completed the occupation of
Tortosa.
(Tortosa is the eastern end of the
coastal salient the government had
held since the insurgents great drive
of last spring thrust a wedge to the
Mediterranean coast. The Ebro form
ed the main defense line of this
salient, which insurgents recent gains
toward Tarrogona have converted in
to a dangerous trap The fall of Tor
tosa might indicate either that the
insurgents had broken the Ebro line
or that the government was hastily
evacuating the Tortcsa poc,ict.) 49,.

The President told the press con-

Mr.. Roosevelt estimated Is percent
of the labor needed for the plane

percent could he developed rapidly
by utilizing Labor from automobile

Some plants, the President asserted

All the new planes, except certain
