streets of the polyglot capital are
alive with soldiers.
Any child could perceive the

Evil Flayed
By Grange

A warning to Congress to
stop making lump sum ap-
prOpriatiOnS to be expended
at the discretion of the PreSi-
dent was forwarded to all
members of the national leg
islature as it began the new
session today.
The warning was in the
form of a letter sent by
the National Grange through
its Washington Representa-
tive, Fred Brenckman.
Describing lump sums as
compelling Congress "tO 90
hat In hand" to the Execu.
tive department, and as con-
stituting" q grab bag Of the
Treasury" the Grange urged
this Congress to take q more
independent stand than its
three immediate predecessors.

AWait Reaction
Purpose and meaning of Da-
LADDERS visit was neatly summed
up by one Tunis observer, who
stated:
The population of Tunisia is
overwhelmingly in favor of
French rule. They know they
have chance to live and pros
per under the French.
But Italian rule would re-
suit in an immediate influx of
thousands o. colonists from
Hungary, resulting in competi-
tion such as is presently un-
known. 1t also would result in
increased taxes and would be
the end OF democracy.
But a large section of the
population, especially Italians,
are uncertain of the result of
the recent Italian demonStra-
tions. Remembering Munich,
they fear to put themselves on
record until the future assumes
a more definite shape.
"A strong show of French
force will effect tremendous
change"
A show of force and solidarity
is exactly what Tunis will see dur

END OF DISTRICT
LUMP SUM PLAN
Urges Land Value Base
to Fix U. S. Donation

Abolition of the arbitrary

District expenses and substitution
Of a formula based on Federal
property in Washington. was urged
by Senator John H. Overton CD
of Louisiana as the Seventy-sixth
Congress got under way today.
New chairman of the Senate
District Appropriations subcom-
mittee, Senator Overton said that
fixing of a formula. to be both
flexible and permanent, would
eliminate much of the controversy
that RACES over the District budget
each year and would also do away
with the "guesswork" of fixing the
lump sum.
URGES LAND VALUE BASE
Within recent years. the Fed
eral contribution has been reduced
to a flat $5.000,000.
my idea" the Senator ex-
plaine1. would be to take the
land value alone and to figure it
in relation to all taxable prop
erty in the Capital"
Senator Overton, already IA
miliar with the Districts problems
through his membership on the
Senate District Committee, said he
would tour all local institutions
with a view to familiarizing him
self further on Washington needs,
in preparation for his new job.
The formula plan was greeted
enthusiastically by District Off
cials, who for many years have
contended that the Federal contri-
button has failed to compensate
the District for its services to the
National Government,
HAZEN SUPPORTS PLAN
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
said:
He is on the right track.
The Federal Government should
pay taxes just like everybody
else. Not for buildings like the
White House, of course, but for
their office buildings. The
Navy Yard is actually a huge
manufacturing plant And it !
is the District that pays for the
streets, lights and sewers
adjacent to these buildings.
Instead of the present |
$4,000 900, the Federal share of
District costs should be between
$1O,O0O,00O and $12.000,000."

but Minnesota is not the only state in that category
bill now before the state legislature is designed
to curb this evil, to some extent. Provisions for
operation, for those who make loans up to $4,000,
seem to be adequate with ample teeth in the pro-
posed law for enforcement However, we believe the
three percent monthly interest rate provided in the
bill, is still too high.
On hundred dollars, three percent would be
$500 per month, $4,000 per year, it cannot be
compounded. working forced to borrow
$4,000 (maximum amount under this provision)
would have to give ample security, mortgage his
wages, and pay $500 per month interest Inability
to pay off monthly the loan would place him at
the mercy Of the loan shark, who could, we under
stand, draw his wages, sell his furniture It
stands to that if he could not make both ends
meet before, he certainly could not do it with
interest payment of $500 per month staring him in
the face.
This problem of legislation is complex, because
