He SEEKS TO TAX
TRACTION ENGINES
President Hammond Thinks
They Should Pay Heavi-
ly for Use of Streets.

An amendment to the vehicle ordin-
ance. providing that traction engines
shall be heavily taxed for the use Of
streets in moving houses. or other
heavy objects or material. will soon
be presented to council by President
Hammond OF the board Of works.
President Hammond has been in
vestigatfng this matter for some time
the streets for hauling heavy objects
cut up the surface to great extent.
For this reason he believes they
should be licensed under the vehicle
tax. Just the amount of the tar has
not yet been determined
However. traction engines passing
through the city, not used for hauling
or machines placed on exhibition by
local or foreign concerns for sale pur.
poses, will not be taxed according to
the new amendment.
President Hammond found on inves-
tigating yesterday that the street sur
face on Washington avenue had been
almost ruined by engines moving
houses. Several days ago the side
walk and gutter on Sherman street
was crushed by. heavy traction en-
gine passing over it while moving a
house. This sort of thing must be
stopped according to President Ham
mond
We've got to protect the city" "
said Mr.. Hammond. "and we're going
to do It,"

New York, Nov. 30.-In the organiz-

foresees the evolution of unique
movement to force husbands to divide
half of what they earn with their
wives each week. Ways and means
OF carrying out the project are being
devised by a special committee which
seeks to place its married women on
the basis Of employees of their hus-
bands and as such entitled to compen-
sation for their work in keeping the
home together and providing for their
domestic comfort. Judging from the
land ONCE business being done these
days by the domestic relations court.
which acts as arbiter between inhar-
monious couples and compels insurg-
ent bubbles to provide adequate sup
port for their wives. the league has
assumed q big task. The plan is an
adaptation of q suggestion made re-
Gently by the wife Of Victor Berger,
the Milwaukee Socialist leader elected
to congress on November 8. that there
should be economic a. well as social
and political equality between hus-
band and wife. To the apostles Of
she new movement the intimation that
they are parasites and dependent on
their husbands for support is rather
jarring. 1t IL time. they think, that
husbands should take this view Of it
and recognize that their wives per-
form service as important as they do
and are entitled to as much considera-
ton. When the members get down
