COUNGIL TACKLES BUDGET PROBLENS Total to Be Asked Is Consid- ered at Executive Session of Body. Having heard from practically all of the various divisions of the District government as to_their needs for the fiscal vear 1 7. the Citizens' Ad visory Council met in executive ses- sion last night and began discussion of the main issue of how much the next city budget should total. Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, budget offi- cer for the District, attended the ses- sion and it is understood he explained 1o the councilmen the effect various budget totals would have on the tax rate. The council did not arrive at any conclusions last night. Arrangements have been made to have the council £o over the school program for the new budget at a conference with Supt. Ballou at the Franklin School at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. With the school needs before them, | the council probably will be in & position to get down to the task of akin, ommendations to the Com- missioner: $5,000,000 Cut Seen. It has been reported that the original estimates of . department heads for the new budget exceed $40,000.000. It also has been reported that city officials expect to cut these departmental recommendations down to about $35,000,000. At the first meeting of the council several weeks ago it was announced by Maj. Donovan that the appropria tions made for the mext 12 months would necessitate raising the tax rate from $1.40 to $1.70 per $100 of as- sessed value. The data laid before the council lust night by Maj. Donovan as to the fis cal year 1926.27 was not revealea, but it is understood he explained to them how much of a ta ably would be necessary as sult of several different totals that might be decided on for the new bud- et Should the Commissioners finally decide to keep the new budget close to §35,000,000 the effect of that amount on the tax rate would depend in large hat Congress does with respect to fiscal relations in the next appropriation act. For thespast two vears Congress has appropriated lump sum of $9,000,000 as the Federal Government’s share, but the basic law | providing for the 60-40 ratio has not been permanently set aside. COL.

BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecti t rapidly is becoming known in Washington as the human flea. He is always hopping some place. He learned to hop during the World War, and says he will never get over it. Lately he has been hopping to all of the Ameri- can aviation stations. He hopped Annapolis this week in the big gas bag Los Angeles, then hopped’over Washington, looking down upon the Capitol dome. Few Senators ever work ver the dome. There are some who seldom work under it. Mr. Bingham, or Col. Bingham, as he should be called, 1s America’s only ving Senator. He is qualified in all the arts of aviation, and was a World War instructor. It was natural that he should be a flyer. He has been a andered over the face of the earth. The wanderlust was born in him, for he is the son of missionary parents who went to the Hawafian Islands New England. Senator Bing- born in Honolulu. iling vessel in Honolulu harbor and was discovered by chance just before the vessel left port. Little Hiram ex plained that he had intended to forth in the world and earn his livi by selling newspapers. The boy’s early reading had been carefully guarded by his religlous parents. Most of the books he read were those con cerning boy heroes who had been the sole support of their family. Little Hiram was setting forth to be such a hero. i In the old days at Honolulu Hiram's father and mother would drive to church in an old-fashioned buggy with @ rumble seat behnid. The rumble was for the future Senator, but older resi- dents of Honolulu recall that as his parents drove to and from the Central Union Church the future Senator de lighted in sticking out his tongue at the passersby.

Becoming thoroughly versed in Yale and Harvard lore, young Bingham be- came a professor and went to Prince- ton in that same spirit of helpfulness which once had made him stow away in a sailing vessel.

SENATOR BINGHAM, WAR FLYER, REFUSES TO ABANDON THE AIR SENATOR BINGHAM. South America, and is credited with the discovery of the ruins of Vitcos, the last Inca capital. He explored Boli- var's route across Venezuela and Co- lombia and the Spanish trade route from Buenos Aires to Lima. Most of his explorations were made under the auspices of Yale and the National Geographic Society. Got in War Early. Sensing the possibilities of the sit- uation after war broke out in Europe, Prof. Bingham joined the Connecticut Militia, deciding that his missionary parents after all had raised their boy to be a soldier. Early in 1917 he learned to fly and was commissioned a major in the reserve corps. In May he was called to active duty, comm sioned a lieutenant colonel and or- ganized the United States Schools of Aeronautics. Then he became chiel of air personnel in Washington. Then he went overseas and commanded the great flying base at Issoudun, the allies’ largest flylng school. Between explorations, teaching school, writing books and everything else, the busy Mr. Bingham found time for a fling at politics. He went to the Republican national convention of 1916, 1920 and 1924. He was then elected lieutenant governor in 1922 and governor in 19 After being gov nor just one day he went to Washin ton as Senator to succeed Frank Bran degee, who died by his own hand. Has Positive Views. Senator Bingham hasn't had & chance to show his war in the au- gust upper body of Cong vet, but he will. He has lots of views doesn't hesitate to expre has, among other thing: Monroe doctrine to be shibboleth.” Senator Bingham is almost as great a flyer as Gen. Billy Mitchell, but he doesn't share the general's views of a unifled alr service. The Senator thinks there is enough work in the air for all branches of the military service. With his passion for teaching, he may open a special flying school for Senators. Still that might't coincide with some Senators’ idea of dignity and decorum. (Copyright, He ‘an obsolete 1925.)
