A BICYCLE TAX PROPOSED
Alleged Scheme to Levy Toll on
Local Wheelmen.
District Commissioners Plan to
Recommend Such Legislation
Violently Opposed.

The District Commissioners have been
advised by prominent wheelmen, and it
was reportedlast night upon good authority
tha5 they had SO decided, TO ask Con-
gress to pass a law imposing a tax upon
all bicycles in use within the District.
The plan proposed is that each cyclist be
taxed ST per year, and thus will be raised
an annual revenue of from $4,000 to
$50, 900
A gentleman stated last night that he
had been informed by Commissioner Ross
that the bill would be drafted and intro
dlced in Congress upon the reassembling in
December.
Some of the large bicycle dealers were
interviewed, and they were loud in their
denuciation of the measure, ,characteriZing
it as a restriction upon the liberties Of
citizens and as an unjust tax. 1t Is pro-
poset by them to commence Immediately
To secure signatures to petition, and when
it has attained gigantic size to present it to
the district Committee simultaneously
with the bill.
a cycling lawyer referred the reporter
to two decision which have been delivered
in cases where the validity of such IL
measure was involved. Judge Morrison,
of Erie, Pc, decided that the ordinance
which places special tax of one dollar
per annurn on each bicycle owned in that
city is valid and legal police regulation
md not in conflict with the constitution or
the laws of the commonw alth and that is
can be enforced The Talbot county, Nd +,
circuit court recently declared void the
ordinance which required every bicycle rider
to take out a license, to pay dollar per
annum therefor, also to have the number of
his license permanently attached to his
wheel, and to pay So for each time the
wheel was used without it.
If such tax were attempted to be
imposed in the District the local courts
wouId Undoubtedly be called upon to
pass upon its validity.
Chief Consul Robertson, of the Leagne
of American Wheelmen, was interviewed
last night, and among other things he
said: ..Such taxation on bicycles and
not other vehicles has teen adjudged tine
and time again and in all sections CT the
country to be Species of class legisla ion.

fight the passage OF this measure and
would use not only the means available
