THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1925. S orany LocloN Honons, * (BRTISH BUDGET " PLEA FOR ECONOMY The following contributions toward the Confederate and G. A. R. Deco- ration day funds have been received and are acknowledged by The Star: HAWAIIAN FLEET INLOGAL AFFARS Mid-City Association Be- lizves District Should Foilow U: S. Government Example. The Mid-City Citizens' Association believes the time has arrived when the people of the District should de- mand that the local government should ollow the example being set by the ederal Government of reducing ex penditures with the view to lowering taxes. The association made it plain that the people of the District should pay heed to the appeals for economy being made by President Coolldge, and, with this idea in view, the association voted to turn the question over to the execu- tlve committee for report at the next ‘meeting. This disc ion and action followed the reading of a communication trom A. G. Driscoll, president of the asso. clation, who was out of the city last night, in which he called attention to steadily increasing appropria tions for the local gov ment and the subsequent climbi tax rate, “xample for D. C. Government. “If the Federal Government can afford to economize and can mate- rlally reduce taxes there is no reason | Wwhy the Jocal government cannot do the same—at least an attempt can be mad set forth in this com- munication. Mr. Driscoll fu Stated that land values are natu high in the section of the Capital rep- resented by this association, and for that reason the, property owners in that area are carrying a heavy burden in the matter of taxes, with the pros- pect of a heavier load very shortly. The latter prediction was an tiated in no uncertdin terms by Maj Daniel Donovan, auditor of the Dis trict, a member of the association. He declared that at the rate the District is spending money the citizens now are confronted with the strong likeli- hood of another tax boost. He said that a $2 tax rate is inevitasble, and that in his opinion its arrival is not far off, “We would be paying a ax rate now,” Maj. Donovan said, “had it not been for the surplus revenues which were at the disposal of the local Treas- ury.” Maj. Donovan expressed the belief that Congress is going to be more generous, now that the Federal and District governments do not share the costs in proportionate He warned his hearers not to mistake the passage of larg for the District as a on the part of Congres: ural,” he said, “for Congress to agree to larger appropriations now that the Federal Government is not affected.” Maj. Donovan intimated very strong- ¥q that the public school building pro- gram was larger than it should have been, and that it is one of the princi- Ppal contributing causes for the grow. ing tax rate. He indicated that the time is not far off when the question of floating a bond issue should be ready for serious consideration. In’the absence of President Driscoll, Vice President Buchanan presided. Miss Hattie L. Bailey, Gordon W. Wilson, Harry T. Beltstone and T. B. Hughes were elected to membership. PARK CHAIN ACROSS CONTINENT IS URGED IN SKYLAND MEETING tact with nature,” Dr. Work said. “There is no action without reaction; it may be the urge of the returning cycle that is drawing our people from veniences of modern homes whéih have taken so long to design and build, to the more natural sur- roundings of the outdoors. Residests of modern palaces sleep out on the porch and our American Indians re- fuse to sleep in houses built for them. It may be the call of the primitive in us rebelling against the hothouse existence to which we have become accustomed; it may be the instinct of self-preservation working to in- sure the survival of the species by the disciplinary effect of resistance to the elements sometimes seen in those who g0 out to walk in a storm, or it may be only an effort to add variety to our daily round. But whatever may be the immediate cause of this outdoor movement, back of it all may be the operation of another phase of the cycle of existence. We are at- tempting after a fashion to complete a cycle begun by the forebears of those in this region who struggled to overcome the forests and wild life we now seek to conserve. “And here in the Blue Ridge of Virginia, in the very heart of civilized America, lies preserved for our use & bit of nature that is identical with the virgin territory found by Capt. John Smith and his heroic followers. Its inaccessibility has Kept it intac and in the hurried distractions of mod- ern life your forefathers have not had the time to conquer this wilder- ness, which is one of the few remain- ing in the East. It is now, I hope, to be dedicated to the encouragement of our instinctive tendency to return to nature and the outdoors. “The whole national park movement is based on this desire of man to commune with nature. More than a million and a half people last year visited the 19 national parks and 32 national monuments guarded by the Department of the Interior. The geysers and buffalo of the Yellow- stone, the gorges of Grand Canyon, the glant trees of Sequoia, the glaciers of Mount Rainier, the falls of Yo- semite, the prehistoric dwellings of Mesa Verde, the living volcano of Lassen Peak and the petrified forests of Arizona have attracted millions of people and will continue to draw them westward in the years to come. Time for East to Act. “It is time that other primeval spots in the East containing similar natural wonders be preserved for the benefit of this densely populated section. The opportunity for State participation in reserving smaller areas for parks pur- poses has developed from the grow- ing popularity of the national parks.

Representative R. Walton Moore of Virginia, described the site here that has been selected as the seat of the East's first national park of note as an area rich in the early history of | the Nation. | “Having reveled in the rich mem- ories that pervade all this part of | Virginia,” he sald, “many a visitor | will embrace the opportunity to feast | upon the memories which attach to the longer settled section, even down | to where the first colony struggled for existence at Jamestown. “There should be no faltering and no mistake as to the establishment of this park. Not to establish a national park in such a place, amid such an environment, would be a national loss. It would sacrifice possibilities of a very definite and noble character which pertain to the well being of the people and to which no citizen of our great Republic can afford to be indifferent.” Gov. Trinkle welcomed the dele- gates to their opening session vester- day afternoon. Among other speak- ers were Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, pres- ident of the National Geographic So- ciety; Dr. John J. Tigert, commission- er of the Federal Board of Educa- tion, and Col. David C. Chapman. FORESTS ARE AFIRE. New Blaze Starts in Big Dry Creek Section in New Mexico. SILVER CITY, N.

By the Associated Press. ROME, May 26.—Premier Musso- lini's visit with Gabriele d’Annunzio at the poet-adventurer's villa, IT Vit- toriale, at Gardone, marking the first meeting of the Fascist leader and d’Annunzio since the Fascist march on Rome, has evoked more speculative comment in political circles than any event of recent months. While it was reported that Musso- lini's visit was for the purpose of ar- | ranging the taking over of d'Annun- zio's villa as a gift to the nation, po- | litical observers believe the two men | have bridged their political differences | and that the present vigit will have far-reaching results. T belief was strengthened yes- terday by the remark of a close friend | of d'Annunzio, who said: “Who knows? Perhaps within a few days the population of Rome will be gath- | ering at the station to welcome the arrival of Mussolini and d’Annunzio.” This same friend of the poet indicated the purpose of Mussolini's visit, be- sides that of extending a political olive branch, was to invite the poet to Rome to assist in the celebration on June 7 of the twenty-fifth anniversary of King Victor Emmanuel's ascension to the throne. If d'Annunzio accepts it is expected he will read a poem com- posed especially for the occasion. ANTI-MASK LAW UPHELD.

MINE LOCAL PRESIDENT IS ARRESTED IN BOMBING | Sixteen Other Men and Two Women Held in Wrecking of Non-Union Workers’ Homes. By the Associated Press. MOUNDSVILLE, W.

A Southern By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 26.—In the House of Commons last night Winston Churchill, chancellor of the ex- chequer, obtained the second reading of the finance bill embodying his budget proposals. The bill passed its second reading after cloture was ap- plied and carried, and Philip Snow- den’s motion to reject the bill was defeated by 331 to 139. Application of cloture provoked angry protests from the opposition. The chancellor again had to submit to much eriticism from Mr. Snowden, Ramsay MacDonald, Mr. Lloyd George and others, but would not be stirred from the conviction of the value of his proposals. He main- tained that, with the modifications he | already had proposed, the silk duties would form a permanent part of the country's revenue. The ~ chancellor further declared that the government had no intention of postponing the pensions scheme, but he promised a statement in due course which would reduce to very small proportions the fears that the scheme would be a burden on in- dustry. Mr. Lloyd George made an interest- ing contribution, arguing that the chancellor ought to cut down expendi- ture on armament since there was no longer any menace to British security. He remarked that since the earth- quake Japan could contemplate no scheme of aggression, and he charac- terized the Singapore naval base plan as heer madness. Winding up the debate, Premier Baldwin denied that the reimposition of the McKenna dutles or the silk tax was protectionist; they were purely revenue duties. He said that Great Britain had traveled a long way to. ward its rehabilitation as the finanefal center of the world. The first step was the balanced budget of 1919; the second was the funding of the Amerl- can debt; the third was a provision in the budget introduced by himself, when chancelior of the exchequer, that a sum of not less than £50,000000 should be allocated yearly to the re- duction of the debt. By restoring the gold standard, he said, Mr. Churchill had put the coping | stone to the edifice. He was proud of having been associated with these suc- cessive steps, and he could not help feeling a malicious joy that the very critics who had blamed him for the “Amer- ican shackles” by funding the debt were those who accused Mr. Churchill of riveting the same American shac- kles on Great Britain by returning to the gold standard. GIRLS’ REFORM SCHOOL REVOLT IS CONTROLLED Nine of 13 Who Escaped From Delaware Institution Are Again in Custody.

Two girls, believed to have been in- volved in a delivery plot, escaped Sun- day night. Their success apparently enraged 11 others, also in the plot, who created a riot, which ended in their being locked together in a cell- room. Early yesterday the lock of the | cellroom door was smashed and the 11 girls rushed into the corridor and leaped from windows. Later in the day highway police captured nine of them in a barn not far away. They were returned and locked in individual cell Search is being made for the missing four.

Residents of Thirteenth street be- tween Iowa Circle and Florida avenue today petitioned the Commissioners to modify the no-parking ban now in effect in that section during the morn- ing and evening rush hours. “We recognize the fairness of re- stricting parking during rush hours on certain business streets,” wrote the petitioners, “but to prohibit the resi- dents of Thirteenth street from park- ing in front of or near their homes is unfair and unreasonable. Doctors, business men and residents whose of- fice hours or dinner hours fall within the restricted periods are greatly in convenienced. “Sixteenth street, said to be the most congested during rush hours south of New York, allows parking on one side of the street.
