.1oWeigh' Rule
On Roon1ers
To Act Wednesday
On Accommodations
In Restricted Areas

The Zoning Commission will con-
slider at 10 am. Wednesday whether
to continue for another year the
wartime privileges allowing home
owners in restricted residential
areas to take in roomers.
Since shortly before Pearl Har-
Dor, residents in these areas have
been allowed to take in up to four
roomers. In July, 1912, this was
extended to more than four. pro-
vided the Board of Zoning Adjust
ment approved each application.
Last year the commission placed a
uniform end to both-December 81,
1916.
Robert o. Clouser, secretary of the
commission, said the question
whether to extend the permission
for another year is being raised by
the Zoning Advisory Council-a
three-member group Of coming ex-
perts which advises the Zoning
Commission on proposed coming
changes.
Housing Dearth' Noted.
MIR. Clouser said there is still a
"dearth" of housing in the city and
that conditions probably have not
improved materially over the past
year or SO. Last year it was esti-
mated that between 5000 and 1000
persons were being accommodated
in rooms in restricted residential
areas.
Three other amendments to zon-
ing rules are also on the docket
They would:
/. Permit in ID" area districts use
OF the entire lot by its building
provided the property is on big
enough alley. This is a very minor
change from the present SO per cent
lot occupancy limitation.
2. Allow buildings in residential
&c" and ID" areas to be used for
business purposes if they are across
the street from Federal property
used for commercial or industrial
purposes. At present this use is al
lowed in these residential areas only
when the building fronts on COM
mercial property in another zone.
3. Allow the gas company to set
up testing stations in residential
areas when specifically approved by
the Board of Zoning Adjustment
and the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
Reynolds Raised Question.
The question of business use of
residential property opposite Gov
ernment buildings was raised last
summer by former Senator Robert
r. Reynolds of North Carolina. Mr..
Reynolds appeared before the Zon-
ing Adjustment Board, which hears
individual appeals from coming laid
down by the Zoning Commission, to
ask permission to use for business
purposes building he owns oppo-
site the, Senate Office Building.
There was sharp opposition by
neighborhood groups objecting to
change in the character of the area.
This drew from the former chair
man Of the Senate District Com
mittee the remark that the area al
ready was commercial by virtue of
the presence of the Senate Office
Building where, he said, some of the
biggest business in the country is
transacted.
In addition to the suggested
amendments to the regulations, the
commission will hear II proposed
zoning changes. Commission Of
f1cials said the last-an application
to change from residential 40-foot
A restricted to semirestricted prop
erty bounded by Massachusetts, and

NEW ERA OF GIVING

1TNREASURY DEPARTMENT statistics indicate that annual individual incomes of $1 000 900 fell from 51 persons in 1928 and 513 in 1929 to 20 in 1892 that they above 6 thereafter and that for 1922, the last year for which information is avail able, they were only 40. Nevertheless a study of philanthrophy made for the Russell Sage Foundation by Shelby M Harrison and F. Emerson Andrews main tains that entering "a of living" not because money will be donated but because tax supported public assistance, social insurance of var ious types, Government appropriations for interna- tional relief meet many of the needs that once Jumped under charity"
 Research in science has engrossed the most inn portant foundations. If to have tax-support- ed National Science Foundation to operate nua budget of at least $10O000O00, which is 70 per cent more than the total annual expenditures of all private foundations in the country, there may well be fewer philanthropic grants for research in physics chemistry, biology and medicine Hence even more attention will be paid to education and social welfare whict already account for large grants. We may therefore expect scholarships, fellowshps stud ent loans and subsidies to colleges and universities and more for social welfare and the fine arts.
 There is reason to suppose that the foundations have outlived their usefulness. The Russell Sage Foundations report makes much of the fact that with total assets of nearly two million dollars the founda tions will continue to pioneer in fields and lead progressive movements This is particularly true of the social sciences, which charged with political dynamite. Most important is the insistence of the report the serious danger that democracy faces with the multiplication of governmental agencies. We need criticism of governmental agencies and it is here that the foundations do effective work

MORE AMERICANISM
 NEEDED IN SCHOOLS

LIVERY PARENT WOULD DO WELL to read a L letter appearing in the current issue of Seattle Business, published by the Seattle Chamber of Con- merce.
 It was written by Garrett Eddy, son of John w. Eddy, of Seattles leading capitalists Just back
 from five years of active duty in the navy young Eddy wrote Robert S. McFarlane president of the chamber:
 "Very few of those fellows (servicemen) have been exposed to arguments for capitalism They have not even heard much said for democracy or our form of his government didn't work {. ...''
 government. Time and again would catch fellow in the following inconsistency: he would admit he was busy offering his life in the fight to preserve our present form of government Later, in another dis cusson he would orcefuy say that his vote for good government useless and he could therefore do mo- thing about it to make his government work well-and he admitted his government didn't work ."
 No one, Eddie charged in his letter, has bothered to present facts and arguments for either democracy or capitalism to the young peope-nothing beyond an occasional salute to the flag at school has been done

to make children proud of their country.
 "But," he continued, "the radical elements have been busy all this time and have presented all the argu ments against both form of government and our economy. No one has bothered to present the other side to the young people, Can we be surprised that they confused?"
 Instead of trying to correct the situation the letter said members of the older generation st in their clubs and homes repeating endessy their arguments only to those who agree with them"
 He went to say:
 Millions of words printed, giving arguments for democracy and capitalism to be read only by those who agree and could wrte the things themselves. Thus lot of energy is spent in preaching, but is wasted because it only reached those already converted
 Observing that radicalism has been given free hand in the schools for decades, he concluded
 Tt has developed well there and IS clever, hard working and sincere Any action to counteract it must be clever, treless and sincere. But it must be counteracted all future generations will con- tinue to get only side of the argument"
 While the young veteran may be going somewhat to extremes when he says that nothing is done to make children proud of their country beyond casonable salute to the flag at schoo there be question about the general soundness of his views
 Our schools do not devote sufficient time to the medication of the doctrines of the American way of life into their pupils Those teachers with opposite leanings (who, fortunately represent only small min orty) have been busy indeed presenting the other take it for granted that their classes do not need any instruction about democracy and free enterprise.
 Eddys remarks apply with even greater force to the average home. The parent who puts his faith in foreign ss will to it that his children follow in his footsteps. But the average good American is likely to feel that his ofsring will automatically n herit his ideas.
 The conditions which Eddy describes among his shipmates shows clearly how erroneous such an idea s

 Although teachers in A. aska Native Service board ing schools are required t have a minimum of fou years college training pre- paration for teaching in ol der to be employed, the Al aska Native Service recoe nizes that there are man special needs and problem which teachers must mee which require continuou in-service training.
