RELIEF FOR ORGANIZATION.

The large membership of the Daughters of the American Revolution will rally to the support of a bill just introduced by Representative Louis T. McFadden, of Pennsylvania. It provides exemption taxation of property owned by the Daughters in the District of Columbia from September 26, 1917, and appropriates $l7B to pay the proportion of taxes on the property accured since the date mentioned. The Secretary of Treasury is authorized to turn that amount over to the society. The bill has been referred to the committee on the district of Columbia, which has jurisdication of local matters, and it is hoped that a favorable report will be rendered.
