Here as Regional

And Resources
To Be Discussed

The problem Of developing to q
fuller measure cultural, material
and human resources in this coun-
try was explained by experts in gov

efice thus:
"A better civilization will be built
with the human and material re-
sources available. America is blessed
with an abundance of material re-
sources. some Of which we have, or
are wasting and some Of which are
unexplored. That we possess q
wealth of unused human resources
is accepted. That we have rich cul-
tural resources is also accepted, al
though sometimes we seem to ignore
the fact.
This Is education's task-to de-
velop the individual to his full ca
pacity. to acquaint the individual
with the resources of his culture and
his country, and to help the indi-
vidual in such ways as will make it
possible for him to plan the use of
resources wisely"

Resources and Education appointed
by the National Education Associa-
ton and the Progressive Education

made q left turn into Tenth street.

Warrant Is Signed
Providing Funds
For Parkway Unit
Arlington Treosurer's
Action Ends Appeal
To Virginia Court

The way was cleared today for
development of Unit of George
Washington Memorial Parkway,
sidetracked for sor1le time by liA-
cation over issuance Of q as 900
check representing Arlington Coun-
tvs contribution toward the pur-
chase of land.
John Locke Green, county treas
urer, signed a warrant for that sum
to be paid the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, au-
tomatically ending his appeal to
the Virginia Supreme Court of Ap-
peals against court order directing
him to issue the check.
The county's portion of the park
purchase is to match $45, 900 posted
by the State, the total to match
100000 allocated by the Federal
Government to purchase rights of
way for carrying Unit 2 beyond Key
Bridge.
In explaining his new stand, Mr..
Green wrote the County Board a
letter In which he emphasized that
he was ordered to sign the check
by Circuit Court Judge Walter T.
Mccarthy.
He laid down an ultimatum, how
ever, that he will refuse to sign
any warrant when / have knowledge
or notice that there is reasonable
doubt that the warrant might not
have been legally issued"
The treasurer explained that he
was notifying the board of this posi-
ton 80 that there will be no mis-
understanding as to my future &C
ton with respect to the signing Of
warrents."
Mr.. Green added that he did not
believe the county's finances justify
the $45 1000 expenditure, asserting:
90 in order to keep the
record straight, I wish to call your
attention to the testimony of your
witness, County Auditor Elmer F..
Newell Mr.. Newell testified that
there now is ample money on deposit
IN the banks to pay the above war;
rant. He also stated that there
must yet be collected approximately
$79 900 so that the county would
finish the current fiscal year under
the budget without a deficit. More
over, he testified that the county
still was carrying over $4,000 from
the 1886 deficit when approximately
S102 900 was spent in excess of the
revenue for that year.
= This, of course, means that the
county not only has no surplus
funds, but over $4,000 has yet to
be collected before we have suf-
ficient money to meet the expenses
already appropriated by the budget
for this current year ending June
30, 1910. ="

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Unc' Billy Possum's party was the
greatest event in the Green Forest
since the famous surprise party
which Peter Rabbit gave when Unc
Billys family arrived from way
down in or Virginny. At first Unc'
Billy had been afraid that no one
would come. You see he had been
the cause of lot of trouble on the
Green Meadows and in the Green
Forest, and he knew that now all
the little meadow and forest people
had found him out. So he didn't
dare send his invitations around by
the Merry Little Breezes of Old
Mother West Wind for fear that
no one would pay any heed to them.
OF course that meant that Unc'
Billy must take them around him.
self.
My, but that was hard work! 1t
was the hardest work that Unc'
Billy had ever done in all his life,
for you know Unc' Billy is happy
go-lucky and takes things easy. But
getting those invitations around
well. as Unc' Billy said, he like to
wore holes plumb through the soles
of nah feet" before he got all of
them delivered. 1t took him two
whole days. In the first place there
were so many to see. And then it
was such hard work to deliver the
invitations to each one. because
when they saw him they would
promptly turn their backs to him
and pretend they didn't see him at
all. Then Unc' Billy would take off
his hat and make a sweeping bow,
Just as if the one he was talking to
was facing instead of back of him,
and he would say:
"Ah begs yo' pahdon, deed All do.
Fo' all the trouble Alive cause yo',
And hopes that All may sholy
choke
If it was meant TO more'n a joke
So please fo'give OF Uncle Bill
An sho' yo' friendship fo' him still
BY taking this as an invite
To join with him next Monday
night
Aroun' nah famous hollow tree,
And help him to full merry be
To greet an old-time friend of
mine:
Ah'm sho' yo's bound to like him
fine
Then Unc' Billy would make
another low bow and hurry on to
tile next one. Of course he couldn't
tell whether or not any one would
accept the invitation, but he went
right on with his planes just as
if he expected everybody to be there.
And when the time came, sure
enough, everybody was there, even
Sammy Jay, to whom Unc' Billy
had sent special invitation by OF
Mistah BuZzard. Mistah Buzzard
had found Sammy Jay in the far
away Old Pasture on the edge of
the mountain, and Sammy had
moved back to the Green Forest
that very day
Such good time as everybody
did have! There were heaps and
heaps of good things to eat. They
danced by the light of the moon
and played hide and seek. Finally
Unc' Billy climbed up on stump.
He was dressed in his finest suit,
and he wore his broadest grin.
Everybody crowded around to hear
what Unc' Billy was about to say.
Nah friends and neighbors,"
said Unc' Billy. "Ah have a great
surprise fo' yo' alls.'
Then he stepped down and every
body began to wonder and guess
what the surprise would be.

Income Tax Returns
In March May Reach
100000
Employees Of State and
Locol Governments Must
Poy for First Time

By the Associated Press.
Treasury officials figured today
that Federal income tax returns,
due within five weeks, should bring
in $3.50, 600 900 during March.
That Is their conservative esti-
mate, but profitable corporation re-
ports now Frightening the financial
pages haye given some experts hope
for even more.
The $3.50, ,O00, 900 would be $50, 900, :
600 more than was collected last
March, but still Is about SITS, 900 900
less than the postwar banner month
of March, 1888.
The returns, due by midnight
March Is, will include, for the first
time, taxes from the more prosper
Gus among the 1000, 900 State and
local government employees. The
total from their 1889 income has
been estimated at slightly less than
$4,000, 900, but only one-fourth will
be due on March Is.
The tax forms for individuals will
be substantially the same as in re-
cent years but corporation returns
will be somewhat different. The un-
distributed profits tax is out. The
tax on corporations earning more
than $25 900 is changed from slid
ing rate Of 1914 to 10 per cent to q
fiat Is per cent Corporations earn
ing less than $4,000 still will pay at
the 1914 to 16 per cent rate of last
year.
