Progressives Lose House Recognition in New Appropriations
The Democratic majority stripped Karl Cooper of his $1,800 salary as special employe for the bull moose party. Victor Murdock had secured recognition for the Progressive group, but the next Congress will have few if any bull moose members, sparking the party’s diminished status and loss of organizational perks after November’s elections.

Urges New Tax Plan in Virginia Debates
Capt. S. Roswell Donohoe outlined two taxation plans for the January general assembly before the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce. He promoted a segregation plan taxing banks and corporations for state revenue while keeping real estate and personal property taxes with localities of origin. The majority plan would create a three assessor commission with high salaries. Donohoe argued it upholds the current ad valorem system. State officials would oversee segregation, with no extra pay, and the plan claimed to benefit Alexandria. Other figures discussed but gave no firm commitments. Separately, Masonic representatives placed memorial wreaths at Mount Vernon for George Washington on his death anniversary, with prayers and a brief eulogy. The procession included Washington Lodge No. 21 of New York and Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4, among Alexandria-Washington Lodge No. 22 members.
