People for Much of “Carpet- bag” Government. Pralsing Washington as an un- paralleled residential city, but term- ing it “the world's greatest example of ‘carpetbag’ government, for which it is itself largely to blame,” Merle Thorpe, editor of the Nation's Busi- ness, deplored “the varieties” of civic associations visiting Congress with conflicting opinions on local im- provements, in an address at the monthly meeting of the Washington _namber of Commerce at the New Willard Hotel last night. He said that a member of the Sen- ate recently told him that every time a4 matter came before the District committee for discussion a multitude of organizations, purporting to the I d on the subject stion, to the exclusion of all appeared. “It was a veritable confusfon of tongues, and the District { committee became in fact a public wail.ng place, according to the Sen- ator,” said Mr. Thorpe. Urges United Action. Mr. Thorpe urged unified action and 1 unified program in building up the National Capital. “Let's talk this out frankly and acts,” he said. ‘‘Washing- 1 is remarkable in many respects. speak | Architecturally it is the most beauti- ul citvy in the country It is the finest residence c'ty anywhere.

Opportunities Ready in AlL ‘The opportunity is ready made. To take fullest advantage of it 1s by no means a commercializing of the gen- erous sentiment of the country with resp_ct to its Capital; it is sumply in- telligent capitalization of leadership. A report showing progress in the rangements for the industrial ex- position to be held in the Washington Auditorium March 4 to 13 was made Rudolph Jose, chairman of the amber industrial committee Robert N.

Existence of the World Court in 1914 probably would have averted the World War, Senator Swanson, Democrat, of Virginia, declared in a radio address from WRC last night. The Virginia Senator, whe was author of the resolution of adherence of the United States to the court, said the tribunal would have investi- Zated the murder of the Crown Prince of Austria and preserved the national pride of Austria and Servia and the world would have been saved from the war. By preventing serious international trouble and possibly war, he asserted, the court already has demonstrated ! that the great principle of courts can he made effective in the international Contagions Cause Schools to Close In Wallace, Idaho By the Associated Press.

SEEK AGREEMENT ONTAX BILL TODAY House an(-i Senate Conferees Thus Far Deadlocked on Conflicting Points. Conferees on the tax bill will meet today in another effort to adjust the differences between the two branches of Congress, both as to the amount of reduction the Treasury can stand and the source of revenue to which the cu's should be applied. Yesterday's efforts of the Senate and House conferees failed to bring ny agreement on the sections in- erted in the bill by the Senate which dded $125.000,000 to the total of tax fuction voted by the House, al- ugh many of “the less gontro- 1 differences between the two 1be provisions were hours of deliber: Representative Iowa, who heads ferees, told the Hou: ile he would favor x for the District of Colum!
