RIDERIS EXPLAINED | - BY SENATOR JONES eoPleads for His Amendment Changing Fiscal Rela- tions of District. A defense and explanation of the rider to the District appropriation ill changing the fiscal relations of the District of Columbia was made in 1he Senate during the consideration of the bill yesterday afternoon by Senator Jones of Washington, who fathered the proposed change in ex- isting law. Senator Jones' explanation was made in reply to a request by Sen- ator Harrison of Mississippi, who sought to have the rider stricken from the bill on tke ground that it was new legisiition and had no place on an_appropriation bill. that some light be given the Senate in regard to the matter. Jones Exp Ins Amendment. Senaton Jones pointed out that the rider was identical with the bill passed some time ago by the Senate, and which is now before the House District committee. “The general law governing the fiscal relations between the District of Columbia and the federal govern- ment is embodied in the act of 1878 and provides for what is known as the 50-50 plan, whereby appropria- tions to meet the expenses, of the District government are contributed equally from the federal Treasury and taxes raised in the District,” said enator Jones. “As the senator from Mississippi knows, there has been quite a controversy over this question between the House and the Senate. As the senator will remember, the ouse has been contending that the w of 1878 was not just and that rea- sonable taxes should be assessed against the people in the District, and then that the balance of the money which was needed to carry on the government of the District should be appropriated out of the Treasury. “In the preceding Congress a bill passed the House known as the Mapes bill, which provided substantially that taxes raised by the District should go into the federal Treasury, and then Whatever was necessary for carrying on the expenses of the District should be paid by appropriation out of the federal Treasury. The Senate has long | been quite strougly in favor of whatl is known as the 50-50 plan, but the .House has i sted for two or three years upon inseriing in the District of “clumbia appropriation bills a pro- vision making the appropriations on @ 60-40 basis. According to my recol- lection, the first time that that was done by the House an amendment was ' adopted in the Senate making ‘ml basis 50-50 instead of 60-40, and then we had quite a controversy with the House. On several occasions the Dis- trict of Columbia appropriation bill has been held up on that-account, par- .icularly in the short sessions, until| the closing days of the session. wher finally the Senate conferees gave wi Tn order to insure the passage of the | bill. Senate's Latest Views. “During the present Congress this matter has again come up. It was hoped that we might obtain general | legislation under which this annual controversy between the House and the Senate would be terminated. The Senate committee on the District of Columbia reported a bill to the Sen. ate providing for the 50-530 basis and establishing, or re-establishing it, I might say, as permanent law. That bill came up in the Senate for con- sideration; after consideration it was amended and as amended passed the Senate without even a division. The Dbill as it passed the Senate has been incorporated as an amendment to the pending appropriation -bill. as em- bodying the last expression of the Senate upon this question. “Let me say that the committee amendment is substantially in almost complete accord with the position heretofore taken by the House of Representatives; in other words, to use a very common expression. the Senate has “called the bluff” of the House on this proposition. Now we want to see what they will do. It 1s rather amusing to me to see inter- views in the newspapers with the prominent leaders of the House who have heretofore put in the pending bill, in which they are quoted as say- ing that the District will be ruined and that they are going to organize their forces to prevent the adoption of this amendment and adhere to the fifty-fifty plan or whatever it may be. he committee felt that they LADIES OF THE ' COURT Seated, left to Mrx.

The ashes produced are considerably less than from hard coal, and ash sifting and hauling is materially lessened. The elimination of smoke ends the necessity of cleaning furnace .and flues of soot. It can be nsed practically in the same manner as hard coal, with a saving in cost, for it produces MORE HEAT, ton for ton, than anthracite coal.
