City Heads Expected
To Oppose Paying
For Guard Hangar
CopitoI Now Providing
S2,750,000 for New
Armory, They Soy

An adverse report is expected to
be made by the Commissioners. on
the pending bill to authorize an ex-
penditure of s750,00O for construc-
ton of an administration building
and hangars for District National
Guard use at the Washington Ma
tional Airport, unless the cost is
borne by the United States instead OF
the District.
Officials explained yesterday at the
District Building that the city now
is paying $2,75O,000 for development
of a new armory for the District
Guard. The Commissioners have
been asked for report on the bill OF
Representative Harrington. Demo-
crat of Iowa, but this must be SUBJ
mitted to the Budget Bureau before
they may send it to Congress.
Approval of the project. Guard
officials say, would give official rec
ognition to the new observation
squadron of the Guard, which now
has 100 enlisted men here in train
ing as ground crews and 80 officers
in training as pilots at Randolph
Field in Texas.
The Harrington bill would place
the cost on the District. The House
has not yet acted on the measure.
A similar bill has been reported in
the Senate but Mr.. Harrington ex-
planned that amendments are being
considered which would place the
cost on the United States. Mr..
Harrington said he believed the
change would be made since the
President is the commander Of the
District Guard and the Commis-
sioners have no authority over it.

Tax Board Denies Appeal
Based on Legal Residence

Not every one living and working
in Washington but maintaining
legal or voting residence in some
State may be excused from paying
the Districts income tax, according
to a ruling yesterday by the District
Board of Tax Appeals.
10 v. Morgan, sole member of the
board, refused to allow the claim OF
Albert S. Kerr, a university pro-
fessor, and his wife, Harriet Allen
Kerr, secretary to a member Of the
Social Security Board. for a refund
of $7.15 they paid the District on a
joint return for 1899.
The couple relied upon the prece-
dent of the James j. Sweeney case,
in which the United States Court Of
Appeals for the District ruled last
March that Mr.. Sweeney, Federal
employe here, need pay no tax be-
cause his "domicile" was in Massa-
chusettS.
The Kerrs said thev had paid an
lllSOlllC ldh W ANCW VI n Va 11f'AO
in 1899, and took up residence in
Virginia since January l, 1910.
Mr.. Morgan ruled that Mr.. Kerr,
since he was not a Government
employe, was domiciled in the Dis
trict in 1899.
In the case of Mrs. Kerr, who was
Government-employed, Mr.. Morgan
declared that he would have no
hesitancy" in holding that her tax
had been enormously paid if she had
been sole petitioner. In this in
stance, however. he ruled that she
was domiciled in the District be-
cause of "the well-established prin-
ciple that where husband and wife
are living together in the same
house, as in this instance, the
domicile of the husband Is the
domictle Of the WIFE"

Deep Cuts Likely
In Budget Requests
For DC. Schools
| Commissioners Expect
| To Review Estimates
This Week

Budget requests submitted by pub
lie school authorities for the next
fiscal year. calling for an increase
of $5,581, ,483 over current appropri-
ations. are scheduled to be reviewed
this week by the Commissioners,
with indications they will find it
necessary to make deep cuts. In
fact, there was suggestion the
schools could be allowed but little
If any increase over this year.
What requests are made and what
proposals are dropped are to be de-
termined in detail by the Commis-
sioners instead of leaving the deci-
sions to school authorities, it was
announced yesterday "A departure
from general practice.
The Commissioners have made no
formal prediction of what they will
recommend to the Budget Bureau
and Congress, but it was said they
feel they must make the cuts, them
selves. in view of the new policy of
the Budget Bureau in making only
a general review of the Commits
sioners' requests.
"Since the Commissioners, rather
than the Budget Bureau, will be
primarily responsible for what is
in the proposed budget" said one
official. 'the Commissioners will
make their own decisions"
The Commissioners some weeks
ago announced their intention of
striving to keep the proposed 1912
budget within anticipated revenues
for the new fiscal year. The de-
partment heads collectively re-
quested an outlay of nearly $685.
600, 900, which would be an increase
of nearly $4,000 900 over this year S
appropriations. While Budget Of
flcer Daniel j. Donovan has not
completed his estimates of next
years revenues, the city heads are
expected to cut the requests to
between $50,0O0,0 900 and $51 900 900.
School officials, in seeking funds
for replacement of antiquated and
insanitary school buildings, re-
quested total of $18,346 900, against
this years $12,700,000.

100000 Aliens Still
Must Be REGISTERED

Slightly more than 100000 aliens
are still to be recorded under the
registration law, Earl G. Harrison,
director of registration estimated
yesterday as the Justice Department
announced that 1859, 706 registra-
tions had been reported as of No
vember l.
The registration period ends De-
cember 26.
In the District, registrations total
8,17O; Maryland, 23,409, and Virginia,
5,623
Mr. Harrison said there is some
confusion as to the obligation Of
aliens who served in the World War
to register, and emphasized that
'the fact that man served in the
World War does not automatically
make him a citizen of the United
States"
IF he was born a citizen of an
other country, served in the World
War, but has not otherwise won
citizenship, he must register as an
alien," the director explained.

Sinkings Peril British Lorder
Loss Of Coreoes Ruther Than Ships
Believed Greatest Threat to England

1t isn't, of course, the matter of
hard work which is so harsh. Hard
work is good for any body, and we
want our share of it in the United
States. 1t seems to me that the worst
feature of many of the relationships
land I've worked in lot of them
is the fierce RECOMMENDATION which
presses down on the peoples so that
even their thoughts are forced
through dictator made grooves.
Naturally, being deprived of per-
sonal liberty is tragedy, but I be-
lieve the mental RECOMMENDATION hurts
even more. Intellectual portion of
the populations, while perhaps ap-
proving of some of the regimes ac-
complishments, resent intensely not
being permitted even to consider
plans in advance of enactment.
to try to show you how feel about
this liberty of ours? If I've told this
one before, just skip it. This relates
TO trip ! made through Europe two
years ago when I worked in eight
relationships
While I was in Bulgaria I motor
ed over terrible and often dangerous
roads far back into the Balkan
mountains, partly to see something
of that wild region and partly to
get a glimpse of the hardy folk who
inhabit it. We were four-three
Bulgarian friends and I.
America-Land of Happiness.
We came to an ancient man who
was sitting near the so-called road
over which we were struggling and
paused to speak with him. When one
of my friends told him I came from
America, the old fellows bronzed
and wrinkled face lit up with a
smile.
You are fortunate" he said to
me- America is wonderful coun-
try
We were surprised to find that
this primitive man of the hills h~9
even heard of America, and we
pressed him to see what more he
knew 1t wasn't much. He didn't
know whether we were a monarchy
or republic.
That doesn't matter" he replied
doggedly. THE United States is a
wonderful country, where people
are prosperous and happy"
Some one he trusted had told him
about our land, and he clung to it
with childlike faith. That was all
he knew about us, but it really was
all he or any one else need know.
