Our Washington Letter •i'-i s|:*l Editorial Washington, March 30 - There is a tinct feeling in conservative Goniorlal circles that so much mud been splattered that political signare difficult to read. Only a may be hazarded as to the tirre a way will be found out of the that the rejection of the manu faeturers sales tax has left with the ?rs. The political angle is not the ; disturbing factor, however. Unless as tt> what the future may to business is expected to reindustriaJ recovery and postpone I'pturn in employment. Leaders on sidles lost control of the House ^when rebel leaders united the factions fjto destroy the tax bill drafted by a bi* bipartisan committee. Senate and House •f, i. -fchjeftains are dubious about an ad- ' ^joumment in June. They may take a Vecess for the nominating conventions n>d return . The tyrannic domination of factions legislation has been compared to of the French revolution. In v._s stirring times the agitators '* -complained of everything, they re- •/*. jfused to reform anything yet left * --frothing at all unchanged. So it is with the rebellious factions now dazzled by ^ ' their power in shaping tax doctrines. . No matter what bill emerges from the . House Ways and Means Committee it will look like a patch-work quilt, j|"\ ~ junless the "gag" rule is applied. The ..-^designated leaders realize they lost , prestige in the defeat of the roanu- Wacturers sales tax. They will recommend another tax levy which will exf|? i|^|tend to all citizens with few exemptions. In other words, it is believed that every citizen must be cdnscious I9* ^ that whatever he buys or , ^ tises he must pay a tax to the Federal •" government. Then the resentment ually force a curtailment of projects and personnel. Washington has been fortunate in that little effect has been felt in wage or price slashing- TJie sustained Federal payrolls has brought steady income to about 90,000 Federal employees here so that price recession is not noticeable as it is ijn other sections of the country. It now appears that reorganization of departments and salary redactions are inevitable.' There are several political connection with the Presiden paign that will find few the unenviable job of collecting funds for party expenses and! applies equally to the Republicans and Democrats. With the public in a temper against the continuance of the depression and suspecting political trickery in every proposal for relief, the men and women who knock on doors begging alms for political wars will waste time and patience. Assignments to fund-raising committees are shunned. :ical posts in idential camtal^ rs. It is HUGE SUM WILL BE SP~" ' DURING TOURING SEASON Approximately $5,000,000,000 is the sum which Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor jClub, estimates will be placed in circulation during the impending touring , and highway construction season. "If wise spending is a cure for our economic ills, these five billion dollars should at least alleviate present conditions," declared Mr. Hayes. "Exhaustive research has proved that few dollars can be expended with such far reaching benefit as those expended for touring or road building. The direct and indirect beneficiaries from such expenditures are so many that they cannot with'accuracy be enumerated. "The national touring budget this season is expected to be approximately three billions. This is estimated on the basis of $125 to $150 per car owner. Passenger car registration throughout the country is 22,450,000 It is estimated by various authorities that the total expenditure this year on the part of federal, state, county, township and municipal governments will approximate two billions. "The number of jobs which this total of five billions will create cannot ' «. eg&infct enormous Federal expendil?( i' - tures will have its effect. ^ " Another troublesome factor is the i . prospect of Congress surrendering to | estimated. Suffice to say that a v,? •* *§he Legion and other organizations for j l&rg® portion of this sum will, in the £ * • additional payments of bonus money. I final analysis, be allocated -pay- It was a similar grant that increased I roll purposes. It must b^ i*emembered •J-$ ~ ' - the Treasury deficit two years ago. | that; none of"ttie~cOmmodities pertain- It seems that every effort to reduc taxation by balancing the i ~ foredoomed to <aiIpuanoe of s ,mV". {jwrf min 1 ry' i debts may i"' *' 'be the only alternative - a step fought Ay the Administration and business Jinterests as a menace to stability. While this country boasts of its ^democratic spirit a flare-back of high < • -.caste wars broke out in the Senate • ,L ' this week. A small but powerful group L v s of Senators took the warpath against f * the "white-spats and cane" boys, as ) ' our diplomats are known on Capitol ^ ^ demand was presented that , J* " appropriations for "entertainment" at * * VV**' foreign posts should be cut substanf • ' ' * tially from the $300,000 asked by the ^ \ State Department. The debate reveal- -> 'i ed to the public a department feud & • i*'."' • which is nothing short of snobbery gy , and jealousy. It was charged that K ' ' " there is a duplication of departmental 4, ' ^efforts abroad in gathering of econ- |^ omic data. The claim was advanced that State Department employees called their work "diplomacy" even , Hhough they were engaged in gathering information regarding trade eonr ditions. Senators plugging class. 0. The decision of the Senate to cut all -. departmental appropriations ten per cent under the amounts recommended g ; by Congressional committees has ' .stirred a furore among government - employees. Reduced sums will eventuring or road building are of high intrinsic value. Therefore, labor must receive most. "The road-building budget can be analyzed from the payroll standpoint. It-has been proved that approximately eighty-five cents out of each dollar spent for construction is paid out in wages. Therefore, this budget of two billions should produlce pay checks totaling $1,700,000,000." m Danger Signal The African antelope known as the springbok has a band of white hairs along the middle of its back scarcely discernible nnless the animal is alarmed. Then a sort of muscular contraction causes the brown hairs that ordinarily overlap the white ones to ripp and expose the white band. This serves as a warning signal to other springboks in time ©*.danger. Imaginary Lovers Some of the well-known lovers in literature, not real people are: Ben Hur and Esther, Darby and Joan.

At that tune we began furnishing the new gas, and this company announced that the new rate would reduce the bills of our residential customers about What have been the facts? Now that we have the complete figures for two full months of operation with the new gas, under the new rates, let us compare. We find that the average bill of oar residential gas customers (numbering about 89,000) was reduced from $3.32 in December, 1930,io $3.13 in December,I931--which reduction amounts to 5.75C. ; The average bill In January, 1931, was 13 39. In January, ; 1932, it was 1^22 --a reduc- ] lion of Sft> it is plainly apparent that die fxml reduction in bills is as i much as the company announced it would be. And the effect of the new rates becomes more evident when it is realized that Western United customers, during 1932, will save I ewer #277,000 oo tbeir gas bills.
