SHE CONCLAVE
PIANS SPEEDED
R. P. Smith, Director Gen
eral, Believes $6,000,000
Will Be Spent Here.
From $6,000,000 to $9,000,000 will be
«pent In Washington by visitors to the
Shrine conclave here June 8 to 15. it
was estimated last night by Robert P.
Smith, potentate of Almas Temple and
president and director general of the
Convention Committee.
At the same time Smith announced
completion of his committee, includ
ing officers, board of directors and
chairmen of subcommittees.
Referring to the financial advantage
to Washington from the convention.
Smith said It had been estimated that
the average convention visitor spends
$60 during his stay.
"Personally, I think that at this
convention the average will be closer
to $100," he said. "Even considering
the lower average, however, it is easy
to see how much will be spent."
"There will be at least 300,000 extra
meals served daily and Washington
will have to provide sleeping quarters
lor at least 100,000 visitors. This num
ber may be increased to as many as
Hope to Repay Guarantee.
Referring to the $150,000 guaranty
fund being sought by the Finance
Committee, headed by Francis G. Ad
dison, Jr., Smith said "This is exactly
what the name implies, a guaranty
fund. We hope to repay every cent
of It and hope that any of you who
have not contributed will hasten your
contributions as we need this money
to handle our preparations and want
to close this phase of the campaign
as soon as possible. We feel that we
are not asking much when we seek
$150,000 from the citizens of Wash
ington to bring $6,000,000 or more new
business to the city.
"Spending of this money Is safe
guarded at every point." the speaker
continued. "We have a Budget Com
mittee which carefully scrutinizes every
request for funds, and James A. Coun
cilor of the firm of Councilor & Bu
chan. C. P. Α., has set up a control
system whereby the exact status of ex
penditures and receipts will be avail
able at any moment."

And did he grow rich? When he was 63
million* in size, he made 12 billions a year. By
1929 he shot that up to 85 billions a year—seven
times as much. He did run into hard times
and at the end of 1932 his income wasn't
7 times, but 3 times what it was in the 90's.

Of course, he had to keep his standard of liv
ing up to his Income. He had to have schools and
colleges and better water supply, more police and
navies and consuls, and he cheerfully paid more
than 9 billions a year for these necessities at one
time But look at the growth of his income!

Did he pay for all this day by day? He did not. He bought hie fire
engines and battleships and schools for posterity. Let posterity help pay.
Porty-odd years ago he owed two billions—city, State and Federal—a sixth of
his income. His debt never dropped. When the Federal Government was
cutting down its debt, the States and cities borrowed more. When he was 63
millions he had a 12-billion-dollar income, a 9 billion cost of living and a debt
a sixth of his income. Two years ago—and his situation isn't much better
now—he owed as much tus he took in in a year and his current payment out
of every dollar was 21 cents for taxes.
