70 REMEDY DEFECTS
IN PERSONAL TAX LAW

ery-PowerIess to Enforce
Present Legislation.

Congress viii be asked, shortly after 1t
reassembles in January, to pass a new
personal law for the District This
decision was reached at d conference held
at the Capitol between Senator Mcmillan,
the Chairman CT the Senate District Com
mittee. and The District Assessor
VIII Correct Defects.
The new law which will be drafted by
Il Il DaTneilIe. District Assessor, Will
he 50 framed as to meet and overcome the
objections pointed out by Justice Ga
baugh in his recent decision
The chief difficulty with the present law
is The inability to enforce and collect the
tax. There are numerous other defects
which the new measure viii also remedy
The proposed law is intended to reach ali
household articles of luxury and also
stccks and bonds Of corporations.
To Be introduced ia Beth Houses.
Senator Mcmillan Will introduce the bill
IN The Senate and it Is probable that Rep
resentative Babcock viii introduce SINH
lar measure in the House
Mr. DarneiIIe, the Assessor. in speaking
CT the matter yesterday said that the diff
F.uIties OF enforcing the old law we're in
surmountabIe. He said that in drafting
the new bill his efforts would be directed
TO filling in the defects Of the old law
No Power to Enforce
One of its weak points he explained was
the lack of proper force to make the
assessments He showed that the law at
first provided for three assistnt assessors
to perform the essential work OF assess
ment CT personal property. By another
law Cong ess abolished the offices of two
Of these assessors and left the third one,
himself. to do the work This he said he
could not do by virtue Of his other duties
and the assessment of personal property
he said had practically gone by default
Another essential difficulty enumerated
By Mr. DarneiIle wGs that the law pro-
Iided 20 opportunity On the part of the
sitizen for the right Of appeal from the
amount assessed In short the old law
as he expressed it, was simply a manda-
tory statute making it obligatory TO as
Eess and collect a personal tax, without
the proper machinery for enforcing it.
Recast Unnecessary.
Nh. Darneillc is of the opinion that it
will not be necessary to entirely recast
the law, but TO add several amendments
which will cover its deficiencies. Mr.
Darneille stated that he would take up
the work of drafting the new law imme-
diateIy and try to have it completed for
submission TO Congress upon its reaSsem-
bling in January
