over an extended period inevitably
brings physical weakness through
poor food and unsatisfactory living
conditions. Members of such fami-
lies are more liable to illness than
persons on an adequate budget.
They are more liable to long ILL
ness once they become sick. They
are more likely to suffer relapses
after they have supposedly recov-
ered."
William H. Savin, director of the
Family Service Association. declared
that "an inadequate public relief
program inevitably adds to the bur-
den Of the private agencies, which
then often have to turn away people
they should like to help"
And an official Of the Washington
Council Of Social Agencies summed
1t up Is follows: "A community can
not save money by reducing public
relief below the standards Of ade-
quacy. It can appear to reduce ex-
penses that way, but it will be seen
that this reduction has added to
other community expenses. It re-
solves itself into question Of which
pocket shall the money come from -

SomeD DC. Residents
May Have 10 Pay
-Four Income Taxes
A. F. G.E President Says
Workers in Maryland
Face Such Situation

Possibility that the Districts new
income tax, unless clarified, might
force some Washingtonians to pay
four income taxes was seen. today
by James B. Burns, president of the
American Federation of Government
Employees.
The threat of only three income
taxes-Federal, District and State
had been foreseen previously.
Mr.. Burns goes one better on those
who have pictured, for example, a
legal resident of New York, who
lives in Washington, having to pay
. New York, . District and Federal
income tax. Mr.. Burns visualizes
this same New York legal resident
living In Washington and working
In Maryland. (He points out that
this situation is duplicated in the
case of some Of those connected
with Government agricultural and
public health agencies in nearby
Maryland) In this event it might
well be, According to Mr.. Burns,
that the worker involved would
have to pay an income tax to New
York as well as to Maryland, the
District and the Federal Govern
ment.
In urging. Chairman Jennings
Randolph of the House, District
Committee for an amendment to
the District income tax law which
would exempt those who pay in
come taxes in States from payment
Of the local tax, or at least credit
for State income taxes, Mr.. Burns
pointed out that some States which
have no income tax exact other
taxes that might be equally as
heavy on Washingtonians who have
legal residence in those States.
Further action on the income tax
awaited the return to Washington
of Representative Nichols, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, chairman of the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee of House Dis
trict Committee, to which has been
referred consideration Of possible
amendments to the present District
income tax law.
Meanwhile tax authorities here
pointed out that the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau has ruled that State
and local government employees who
paid State but not Federal income
taxes last year cannot deduct the
amount Of their State income taxes
from the Federal tax returns they
must file this year.
This Is the first year in which all
State and local government workers
have been subject to Federal income
tax. In future years, it was an
nounced, these persons will be able
to deduct the amount of their State
income taxes from their Federal re-
turns.

Foster Homes Uroed
| Instead Of Hospitals
For ConvaIescents
Declared Superior
And More Economical
For Needy Children

Placement in foster homes rather
than institutions is more desirable
and more economical for needy con-
valescent children, Miss Mary Poole,
director of the social service de-
partment Of Children's Hospital, de-
clared in Q forum discussion before
the child welfare division of the
Council Of Social Agencies yesterday.
Speaking at a meeting at the
Y. w. c. A., Miss Poole said many
children find it difficult to adapt
themselves to institutional life and
providing q home atmosphere is the
best solution.
Private agencies have funds to
care for only 200 children in foster
homes annually, Miss Mildred Ter
rett, director of the Children,s Pro-
tective Association, said. She added
that the service to unmarried moth
ers and babies is microscopic"
Receiving Home Needs.
Miss Marta Redington of Cath
olic Charities emphasized that
whereas there are two institutions
here to care for white unmarried
mothers, there is none for colored
women, although the race has the
larger percentage of unmarried
mothers.
The assembly heard Capt. Rhoda
Milliken, director of the Woman's
Bureau Of the Police Department,
explain that runaway children and
others. needing temporary shelter
are being placed in the Receiving
Home with adolescent prostitutes
and other serious delinquents.
"The police would like to have
another place to put these children,
she added, because the influences
to which they are exposed at the
Receiving Home are detrimental
But there is no other institution
and you can't find a foster home
In the middle. of the night"
Lack of Funds Deplored.
The lack Of funds provided for
foster home services was scored by
Mrs. Louis Gutenberg, chairman OF
the Child Welfare Legislative Com
mittee of the council. She declared
that, although $3.50, 900 was recon-
mended as "vitally necessary" only
$50, 900 was appropriated last year.
Sixty-eight per cent of the fam
lilies in this country live in de-
pendency or on an inadequate mar
ginai income and the children In
these families are the especial con-
cern of social workers, Miss Mary
Labaree, field consultant of the
child welfare division of the United
States Children's Bureau, declared
Sidney r. Katz, secretary-treas-
urer of the Maryland and District
Union Council Of the Congress OF
Industrial Organizations, and Mrs
Olive Swinney, child welfare secre-
tary of the Council of Social Agen-
cies, requested consideration by the
divisions Legislative Committee OF

Hearing Called Friday
To Discuss Problem
Of i. ). Cafeterias
Decision on Several
Proposed Solutions
Sought by Cormody

Federal Works Administrator John
M. Carmody will hold public hear
ing Friday at ; pm. to discuss the
problem Of Welfare and Recrea-
tional Association of Public Build
ings and Grounds occupancy of cafe
terias in Government buildings.
Such occupancy was recently ruled
illegal by the oflice of the controller
general. Since that time a con-
troversy has arisen in which several
proposals to solve the cafeteria op-
Grafton problem have been ad-
vanced.
A Federal Works official said today
the hearing was being held to bring
out In the open" various theories on
what should be done.
Letter Sent to Capt. Hoover.
In a letter sent yesterday to Capt
F. w. Hoover, secretary and di-
rector Of the association, Mr.. Car
mody said:
Pursuant to my responsibility in
respect Of the buildings and the
Government in the District Of Co.
lumbia, I nearby request you as
an ofacer Of the Welfare and Rec
reational Association, Inc, to appear
at my ofice on the afternoon OF
Friday, March l, 1910, at 3 o'clock
for hearing upon the status OF
the 4 A7rporation with respect to its
oce A.ncy Of Government buildings
and its relationship to the United
States. I am sending q similar re-
quest to. the trustees Of the cor
poration."
Proposals Outlined.
One plan advanced so far would
be for the Public Buildings Admin
istration, which is under Federal
Works, to take over the operation
Of the cafeterias. This, however
would require that the cafeterias be
operated by civil service personnel
food bought from the Government
supply schedule and all gross re-
ceipts turned over to the Treasury
Department, operating funds being
appropriated by Congress each year
A special act of Congress could be
sought enabling the cafeterias to be
run on q special revolving or trust
fund and waving civil service and
Government supply schedule re-
quirements.
Another plan would be to seek an
act Of Congress specifically authoriz-
ing the Government cafeteria con-
tract to be let on competitive bids
or specifically authorizing the con-
tract to be let to the Welfare and
Recreational Association. Such Z
law permits the National Park serv-
Ice to let recreational facilities tc
the association, but does not provide
for the cafeteria ooutxact.
