WHEELMEN OPPOSE A TAX
Claim That Taxing Bicycles Would
Be Class Legislation.
Commissioners Deny That Any Of
fetal Action Has Been Taken
on the Subject.

The report that the District Commission
ers are contemplating placing tax of
81 on every bicycle used within the city,
has aroused the ire OF almost every WHEEL
man in Washington. They protest most
strongly against such anaction anddenoni-
nate it as class legislation, claiming that
the city has no right to impose a tax ON
wheels, without doing the same thing TO
wagons and other vehicles
Commissioners Ross and Wight, who
were interviewed on the subject, deny
that any official action has been taken On
the matter
Mr. Ross said that the imposition Of a
bicycle tax has been agitated for a long
time and that the report now rife probably
arose from the fact that Mr. NJ. |. Weller,
one of the members OF the colnrnittee Of
whcelmen, who recently presented their
petitiontothe Commissioners, rad advocated
such r;.easure, urging, however, that all
ether vehicles should be subject to The
same tax No official action has been
taken, he said, and even were he and his
associates in favor of making such law,
it would probably not be before December
bDdG congress WOulC Idbls OilElE ueCiSiOu
Mr. Wight maintained that although the
tax had only been agtated still 1t would
only be fair, seeing that WashinGton's
Hheelmen are an extra expense TO the
police department, part Of the expense
Of which they ought to pay.
number of bicycle dealers were in
tervicwed by Times man on the adj
visibility of placing a bicycle tax on the
riders of this city.
Mr. Cline, a member Of the firm of Cline
Bros had not seen the article printed in
The Times, and asked for u copy. After
reading it he declared himself most fDrci-
big: Il have not heard of such an action
on the part Of the Commissioners previous
to seeing this Why, IL 1t Is carried into
execution it would be an outrage. What
right has any municipal body to legislate
against one class of vehicles and exempt
others from payment. Andif the city were
to receive a dollar from every rider To
what use would the money be put? Surely
not to improving roads, for the streets Of
Washington are peerless. IL the suburbs
were made more easy for the wheel, then,
perhaps, there would be some show If
reason in taxing the District bicyclists.
I see by the clipping you have handed me
that the revenue derived from the exc
cution of the proposed measure would
amount to $4,000. Granting that this is
t.. be used in defraying the expenses which
wheel riders cause the city, to what de-
partment OF the District will the money be
devoted?''
Mr.. J.Hart Britain, the manager of the
Columbia bicycle agency, was busy sign
ing checks when asked for his opinion Of
the Commissioners reported action.
II most certainly do believe that bicycles
should be taxed. Mind you,I am a dealer
