Test of Wheel Tax Provision.

1t was stated To-Day tnaI the law re-
Gently enacted as a provision in the Dis
trict appropriation bill imposing tax on
motor vehicles of SIS for two seats and So
for each additional seat would be tested
in the courts. The fact that the law
carries no penalty for noncompliance
renders it doubtful If 1t can be enforced,
but the automobilists are so certain Of be-
ing able to have it declared invalid that
it is probable that the case will be SUBJ
mitted for judicial action upon its merits
1t is claimed that II this law is valid
the automobiles would be subjected to a
triple tax. They are now assessed as
personal property, besides which tax of
81 Is imposed for permission to operate,
while the wheel tax would make the
triple charge against each machine.
1t will be argued that II motor vehicles
can be taxed at fixed rate per seat
the same tax ought to be imposed upon
all other vehicles. as otherwise there
would be unjust discrimination. Some
of the members of the Automobile Club
insist that street cars are motor vehicles
and that the tax, If valid, must be impos-
ed upon every character of vehicle oper-
ated by a motor.
Ii is likely that this case will soon be
instituted In the courts, the ground taken
by the Commissioners being that il is
their duty to execute what is the appar-
ent will of Congress.

Reports by Police Captains.

Similar laws are in force In Pennsyl-
vania New Jersey and other states, and
the change is advocated with practical
unanimity by all OF the police captains
within the District, whose reports were
transmitted to Commissioner West today
by Major Sylvester. Major Sylvester says
that the police are experiencing some diff
Guilty in making prompt and proper iden-
LITIGATION of motor vehicles by reason of
the confusion of numbers, and he sug-
gests that this could be avoided either
by using a circular tag or by having the
District number only displayed while the
machine is operated within the limits of
the District. One Of the police captains
states that one of his bicycle men recently
reported that a single automobile dis
played eight different numbers.
In view of the unanimous suggestion OF
the police captains. Commissioner West
will ask his colleagues to consider the adj
visibility Of passing a regulation to the
effect indicated.

Right to Revoke Permit.

There is a police regulation against the
reckless operation of automobiles, but it
was doubtful whether the alleged Of
fender could be prosecuted under this
regulation, and it Is also considered ques-
tionable whether fine in the Police
Court is a sufficient safeguard against
reckless or. careless management of an
automobile The corporation counsel,
whose opinion was asked in the matter.
expresses the opinion that the Commits
sioners have the right to prescribe in a
permit the length of time for which it is
given and the causes which will operate
to revoke it, provided those causes neces-
sarily have reference to the protection OF
lives and limbs of the public, authority
for such regulations being found in the
act of Congress approved February rs,
1892
Commissioner West. who believes that
reckless driving is a far more serious
matter than speeding, will ask the Com
missioners to consider the advisability OF
enacting a regulation which shall result
in the revocation Of permits for operating
automobiles when 1t shall be proven that
the holder of the permit has shown dis
regard for the safety of pedestrians.
Another regulation that may be adopted
will require all automobiles in the Dis
trict of Columbia to remove all out-of-
town numbers from the machines when
within the limits Of the District.
