Calls Cities to Account
Cities like their citizens are “living better’ than
they did before the war according to the United States
Chamber of Commerce which has just completed a sur-
vey on tax conditions throughout the United States.
The survey takes many cities to task for attempt-
ing to supply non-essentials stating that new and or-
nate buildings $re often given preference over sewer
systems water works or street pavements. It empha-
sizes the necessity for cities building along constructive
lines asserting that those cities that have increased
their tax rate in order to create and maintain bet-
ter living conditions increase industry and employment
are expending the money wisely; whereas those ex-
pending city funds on unnecessary municipal “gew-
gaws" are investing foolishly.
The human sid# of cities and their extraordinary
rise in expenditures since the war is disclosed in the
survey. The taxpayers’ pocketbook that has had the
hole made by federal expenditures In the war pretty
well patched has sprung a new and even wider tear
ard one that gets wider every year the survey says.
This is the hole through which escapes unwise munici-
pal expenditures expenditures which appeal to the ever-
growing idea that “the million dollar front” is a good
municipal investment.
In 1913 all that the individual citizen had to pay in
taxes was $22.73; the total in 1926 was $73.04. Every
man woman and child was taxed that amount on the
average. This means according to the survey that
actual workers as distinet from children or house-
wives paid $200 in taxes a year—the equivalent of
about six weeks work for every employed American.
Of this nearly one-half went to county or municipal
taxes. In plain figures the 1925 record showed that
10 cents of every dollar in Uncle Sam's income went
for government costs.
However the fact must be taken into consideration
that living conditions have improved very materially
since 1913; that labor is better paid; that commodities
of all kinds bring higher prices and that the average
American whether he be laborer or capitalist is in
better position to pay the 1927 tax than he was to pay
the much lower tax of 1913. The relative value of the
dollar at that time was much greater than at present
and upon this basis there is not such a great disparity.
Government it fundamentally merely cooperation.
The American pepole are today cooperating in the
building of highways sewer systems paved streets
water systems public buildings and hundreds of other
things which improve condition and make life more I
worth the living. Individually they could not make
these improvements; collectively they can. Tax monies j
properly used and expended with a view of rendering |
service to the greatest number represent an investment
yielding greater returns in comfort convenience and I
happinss than any similar sum the individual may j
invest.Navigation District Necessary
Though the report and recommendations of Col. J.
*4 L. Schley district engineer at Galveston regarding the
Valley’s port at Point Isabel have not been made public
In detail Colonel Schley has indicated he will recom-
mend a 62.600.000 project toward which the Lower Rio
Grande Valley interests will be requested to contribute
6600.000 the government to boar the cost of maintain-
ance which is estimated at 6100000 per year. There is
•very reason to believe that this is in substance the
recommendation to be placed before the board of army
engineers and that it will meet the approval of that
board as well as the river and harbors committee of
the house and be incorporated in the rivers and harbors
appropriations during the present session.
To the people of the Valley who have for years
been handicapped by the burden of high freight rates
the intimation that recommendations of this nature
will be incorporated in the rivers and harbors bill
comes as a distinct relief. It is very apparent that
the army engineers are trking into consideration the
Valley’s struggle for a deep water port; the financial
sacrifices the \ alley has made and are determined at
this time to put over a project that will assure water
transportation for the Valley.
There is but one way for the Valley to provide th*
funds the federal government will require for the
Valley’s part in the financing of the project and that
• th* organisation of a navigation district. Under
the existing law only two counties can be included in
i navigation district; but this could be overcome by
special act of the legislature providing for the organi-
sation of a district to include the four Valley counties
of taraeron Hidalgo Willacy and Starr. Every resi-
dent of each of these counties would h« a direct bene-
firiary of the port and the attitude of the leaders indi-
cates that all four counties desire to participate in a
project of such vital importance to the entire Valley.
No action in connection with organization of a dis-
trict will be undertaken until congress haa passed the
necessary measure and set forth in detail the require-
ments the Valley must meet. But the Valley counties
should be prepared to inaugurate the movement for
organization as soon as congress takes action thereby
assuring as little delay as possible in completing the
port. So far as the details of the proposed navigation
district ere concerned hese must be worked out upon
an equitable basis assuring a fair distribution of the
burden upon a basis of benefits to be received.
In addition to meeting the requirements of the gov-
erament in regard to cooperation by loeal interests in
financing the jetties and channels the navigation dis-
trict should own and control at least part of the
wharves and terminals. The announcement of the
Tort Isabel Company that lands they have acquired
would be turned over to the district for terminals and
wharves at the nominal cost for wheih they were ac-
quired assures the district will have no difficulty in that
respect. Cameron county alto has an option on the old
government radio sit* which can be secured *t a verv
reasonable price the county having secured the option
with a view of turning it over to a navigation district
when the time arrived. Due to the far-sighted policy
of th# county and the Port Isabel Company the naviga-
tion district of the future will be well protected in this
respect end will not be obliged to pay exorbitant prices
such has been tha experience of several navigation
listrict* of the Gulf Coast.
The Valley is back of the port project and If the
government ember’ 1 upon a project such as Colonel
Schley is expected to recommend there ean be no ques-
tion that every section of the Valley will be willing to
meet any condition the government may impose. And
when the time comes to organise a navigation district
the i.roposition will be one of the most popular ever
presented the Valley voters.
MYSTIC NUMBERS •
Mrs. B. J. Knight of Port Veches Texas writes me
a lengthy discussion suggested by some skeptical re-
marks I recently made about the influence of the moon j
stars and mystical numbers upon the destinies of men.
Frankly. I do not believe that a star can do a thing
to you excepUamuse or console you or inspire you when
and if you are in a mood to be amused consoled or in-
spired by looking at the star and thinking about it. j
There is nothing mystical about such influence as that.
This theory that you are born under a star that in-
fluences your life and destiny doesn't appeal to me :is
being very scientific. Oh I may be wrong or I may be
ill-informed. I do not condemn those who believe dif-
ferencrJy. But for me astrology has nothing.
* • • •
Mrs. Knight adduces items to convince me of the
mystical quality of the number seven. She says “it is I
symbolic and prophetic of eternal truths.” Do you ;
think so? I think it is just a number useful and good 1
like four or fourteen or eighty-six thousand.
But my correspondent points out that there are
seven colors seven planets seven notes in an octave |
seven days in a week and seven endocrines.
Well maybe there are seven notes in an octcve. !
However rumor tells me that there are eight and the '
word octave of course comes directly from the Latin
for eight.
Maybe there are seven planets but my astronomy
teacher said there were eight major planets and seven
hundred minor planets the major leaguers being Mer-
cury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus ar.J
Neptune and only four hundred of the minors having 1
been named when I quit studying astronomy.
The belief that the»-e are only seven primary colors j
has I believe become quite archaic since the spectrum
has been subjected to real examination. Well we mart !
admit that there are seven days of the week.
• • * •
But. on the other hand there are four gospels four ’
cardinal points of the compass four fingers on each j
hand and four toes on each foot if you excise the big
toes. Perhaps it would be just as well however to
have at the little toes instead. Facts and toes are alike
unimportant obstacles to anyone who is trying to erect
a superstition and magic into a science. We can make
four just as magical us seven if we can get a goad
press agent for it. Don't forget the Four Horsemen
and the plus fours and the foursome and the fourth
dimension and the all fours and the four-flush. Re-
member the Four Hundred the four-eyed fish the Four-
White Swans the four genii of Amenti and all the four-
footed beasts of the field.

WIDE COAL PARLEY PROPOSED
By JOHN S. FISHER Governor of Pennsylvania.
(John S. Fisher was born in South Mahoning
township Pennsylvania in 1867. .After having been
graduated from the State Normal school of Penn-
sylvania at Indiana. Pa. in 1886 he studied law and
was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1893.
Fisher practiced law in Indiana Pa. for several
years. He was a member of the Pennsylvania sen-
ate from 1901 to 1309 and has been connected with
various investigating committees to promote better
government. Fisher was elected governor of Penn-
sylvania in 1926. His home is at Indiana).
There are three basic problems confronting the in-
dustry. First w-ages; second rate structure and third
regulation of production.
These problems attach to the entire industry in its j
totality. It is a problem for both national and state
consideration.
In production the national authority does not attach
until the coal enters interstate traffic but because the !
interstate commerce commission can now regulate
freight rates whether intrastate or interstate the reg-
ulatory power necessarily attaches to all coal that go<»3
on board cars.
The coal in the ground and all the processes of pro-
duction fall within the jurisdiction of the state. It
necessarily follows that to find a cure for the ills of
the industry there must be co-operative action between
state and federal governments.
It is not easy to discover a way for doing this.
However there ought to be some sort of conference
representative of all states in the bituminous produc-
ing fields including labor production and public au-
thority as well as representation from the congress and
the executive department of the federal government.
I do not conceive it to be impossible to arrive at
some sane plan covering the factors entering into the
problem.
I understand that prior to the agreement on the
Jacksonville -cale there was a tacit understanding be-
tween the union leaders and many important operators
that in the event of a disagreement it would be sub-
mitted to a conciliation or mediation board to be named
by the president
This plan had a precedent in the settlement of the
wage dispute in the anthracite region during Roose-
velt’s administration.
The freight rate question is purely a federal mat-
ter. So long as there are loud complaints of discrim-
inatory rates sanctioned *y the interstate commerce
commission.'there will be bitter discontent in the in-
dustry.
I favor any plan tha^ will provide good wages for
labor a fair return for the invested capital and an
adequate supply for tha publie at reasonable prices.

MISS PHOEBE RETURNS TO BIRD
BOX ROW
“Johnny Wren! Johnny Wren! Do
stop that singing—you have been at
it the whole livelong day—and listen
to me! I have a piece of news for
you. Miss Thoebe Bird is home
again and looking for an apartment
for the spring.
“And do you know she is quite as
conceited as ever. In spite of the
fact thr.t she hadn’t seen me for all
these months do you think she
would talk about anything but her-
self? Not she! I tried my best to
find out what she had heen doing
i i I !

ali winter whom she r.ad seen and
what she had heard. You can’t tell
me that any lady bird with eye* as
bright as hers hasn’t seen a lot!
“But do you think that she would
say a word? No siree! To every-
thing I asked her all she would an-
swer was ‘Phoebe! Phoebe! Phoe-
be!’”
Peter looked about to find out who
the ihdignant speaker was. He was
standing right beneath Mr. and Mrs.
Wren's apartment in Bird Box Row.
and there peeping out of her open
doorway was Jenny Wren herself
and she was talking *o her fat little
husband who sat merrily singing on
>
the porch of his home in the tree-
top.
“But my dear perhaps Miss
Phoebe Bird really didn’t have any-
thing to tell. To be sure her eyes
are bright bat did you ever hear
that she used them to look for any-
thing but flies or ougs? 1 never
have and I have known the lady
for a long time. To be sure she
belongs to the Flycatcher family
and takes her food upon the wing.
Between you and me I don’t be-
lieve that she thinks of much else.
Anyhow don’t worry your little
head about it. Haven't you enough
to think about with all your house-
hold duties?’’
“Now isn’t that just like a
male!" Jenny Wren flirted about
angrily. “Talking about my house-
hold duties when all >ou do is sit
out here and sing! sing! sing! And
there you go again! fou are singing
now. Stop it! Stop it. I say! Good
gracious! Who is that at our front
door? A two-legs or I am much
mistaken."
Her l*st words brought sudden si-
lence. Johnny Wren ruffled up until
he was twice as fat as he had been
before and was about to rush at the
stranger but the boy—for it was
Peter who had climbed the tree and
now clung to the porch—called out:
"Wait a minute Johnny before
you attack an old friend of yours. I
am the boy who built your house.
Aren’t ycu going to let me visit you
in your apartment? Come on invite
me' up. do! It is awfully uncom-
fortable hanging on to the edge of
your porch.
“Of course if Mrs. Wren is too
busy with her work to receive callers
I will go away again out I shall be
so disappointed. I heard you two
talking about Phoebe Bird and I
thought you could tell me all the late
birdland news. The folks are most
all back from their winter vacations
aren't they?”
• • •
Isn't Peter the lucky little bov to
be able to talk with Mr. and Mrs.
Johnny Wren? Once a long time
ago Peter saved the life of the Old
Oak Tree and the Tree in gratitude
gave Peter the magic power of
speech with all the creatures of the
field sir. forest and jungle. He also
carries the tail of a blue litard in his
pocket which keeps him from harm.

By CHARLES P. STEWART
WASHINGTON Mar. 28.—Maybe
Secretary of State Kellogg was quite
right in chipping into Nicaragua’s
politics when he did. Maybe it was
okeh for United States marines to
land there to rub in what he said.
Or maybe not.
Opinions differ as to all that.
There can’t be any difference of
opinion as to the holy show which
American diplomacy and arms have
made of themselves in that little
republic in the last year—and some-
what more.
• • •
It happened thus—
America’s first batch of marines
landed in Nicaragua away back in
December 1926.
Adolfo Diaz was on the job as
president—• conservative.
Dr. Juan Sacasa a liberal who
claimed he was president rightfully
was fighting Diaz.
(“Conservative" and "liberal" are
just party labels in that part of
the world. They mean no more than
republican and democratic labels
mean here.)
The marines’ mission at Kellogg’s
behest was to stop the scrap.
• • •
Diaz nearly iirked welcomed the
devil dogs with open arms. Sacasa
driven off in the very act of win-
ning. naturally was sore.
Kellogg however said the liberals
would have to wait till the next reg-
ular election which he promised
would be a fair one—the marines
would see to that.
This suited the conservatives pret-
ty well the next election being a
yenr and a half away.
Ex-Secretary of War Stirason
looking the ground over for Kellogg
reported that the liberals were suit-
ed too. and that the country was
“pacified." which was true enough as
to Sacasa; he'd quit discouraged.
Only Stimson never heard of Gen.
Augustino Sandino up to then.
« • *
Well fifteen months of the year
ar.d a half wore away. Election day
was drawing near.
At this point Kellogg discovered
that he needed a new election law
to enable the marines to make the
voting fair. He asked for it and
right there he struck a fresh snag.
Dias's congress wouldn’t pass the
law. The conservatives don’t want a
fair election. If they had one they
know they’d lose.
That hangs the fair election pro-
position up high and dry.
So much for diplomacy.
• • •
How about the marines?
As we’ve heard when Sacaaa drop-
ped out Sandino turned ugly. All
accounts agree that he never has had
as many as 1000 men under him—
half-armed and entirely untrained as
soldiering goes these times.
Yet month after month this
handful continue to s and off three
times their number of ur brag devil
dogs with every implement of mod-
ern warfare—planes poison gas ’n’
everything else.
Why there are ten cities in the
United States each with more in-
habitants than the whole Nicaraguan
republic and 2700 marines can’t
keep order there!—So we sent 1000
more.
• • •
Thirty-seven hundred marines! —
for a rookus that site! Is it any
wonder that every Latin American
diplomat in Washington laughts fit
to split ?—as reinforcement follows
reinforcement from (juantico and
San Diego to Manila down to that
so-called “front” on the jnngle’s
edge.
If w* think it’s good edvertisirg
for United States “prestige” it’ll
about tune we guessed agam. j

. NEW YORK March 28.—The blue-
story magazines have spread the
impression that the career of a
model isn't one a nice ambitious girl
would consider taking up. Well
Dorothy Smart “the most photo-
graphed girl in the world" and tho
most famous and highest salaried
model in America until her recent
marriage to Edward L. Bill wealthy
publisher thinks modeling about as
good an opportunate career as a
properly gifted girl could choose. And
when I went to Harry Collins’ invi-
tational fashion exhibition—at which
he introduced—E-Motion-ism in de-
sign—I found that the msnneauins
to whom 1 talked were proud and ap-
preciative of their calling. One of
Collins’ aides told me two Smith
graduates and a Bryn Mawr alumna
who has the entree to the smartest
homes are among Collins’ models.
Dorothy Smart is a Byrn Mawr
graduate. Her family—the Verderys
of Georgia—has high social stand-;
ing. Some girls become models to
seek romance adventure and excite-
ment. Misa Smart made modeling a
profession after getting into it by
accident and in three years built for
herself a large and lucrative busi-
ness. She bad to have a secretary to
take care of her engagements. She
charged $25 for an appointment and
refused more than five a day. Her
income averaged $75 a day. Her face
decorated thousands of advertise-
ments and hundreds of magazine
story illustrations.
The eourturiers want the best
types of girls for modsla- A girl

thing about a dress-creation that
must be emphasised. The intelligent
girl rather than the merely beauti-
ful one. is in biggest demand.
Clothing models are a class apart
from artist models. Artists seek
definite types snd eboosw-them from
all walks of life. Looks slona art
of consequence.

Belle Livingstone known as "the
most dangerous woman in Europe"
is back in New Tork after an ab-
sence of SO years and is endeavoring
to establish a grande salon. Her ef-
fort appears to be meeting with suc-
cess for at her home—the famous
Oneman House in East 62nd street
one is likely to find an assortment of
notables most any evening.
"Conversation is a lost art in
America” she told me explaining
her hopes of initiating a renaissance.
“Tay Pay” O’Connor tho famed
Irish statesman dropped in and
complained that he couldn’t get what
he wanted to eat in New York. (H
has been averaging a banquet or
luncheon a day.) He persuaded
Belle to go down to her kitchen and
fix aim a plate of poached eggs on
toast and a pot of tea.
