NYE BILL HAS FOES
Taxation of Intangible Prop
erty Is Not Popular.
DISAPPROvAL IS EXPECTED
Commissioners Likely to Heed Criti-
cisms of Measure and Report
Against It to Congress.
DISAPPROvAL IS EXPECTED

Mighty small chance exists that the
Commissioners will have a single good
word to say about the Nye BILL intro
duced In the House OF Representatives,
to tax all personal property, whether
tangible or intangible.
The bill has been in the District build
ing since April is, on which drte Com
missioner Rudolph sent 1t down to the
assessors Office. There seems to be no
special hurry to get the thing reported,
but when 1t does come through the ex-
pectat!on is that it will give the entire
proposition Of taxing intangible assets
a black eye that will last throughout the
life of the present board Of Commits
sioners at least ste
Commissioners Likely to Disapprove.
The sentiment Of the oflicials or the
District government is so dead Get
against this sort Of thing that the Com
missioners would be flying i'm the face
of the best advice obtainable should they
recommend the bill. Tho expressions,
lnquisitorial measure" making every
man liar by this MEANS and similar
uncomplimentary terms are heard In the
District building in criticism Of the Nye
bill. =
The Commissioners, although not say
ing anything about what their report Will
be, are opposed to tax of Intangible as
sets. They will tax to the limit desks.
horses, wagons. automobiles and houses:
and the limit is to be strictly enforced
this next assessment. But when II comes
to making a man give a list of his stock,
his interest In business. and other mat
tiers Of that kind, the Commissioners are
believed to be strongly of the opinion
that the bill will recruit the grandeot
army of the sons Of Ananias that has
ever been seen.
The bill is short. In less than eight
full lines il simply says that hereafter
all intangible property shall be assessed,
except, of course. such as is now specth-
cally exempt from taxation.

Change in Regulations Affect
ing Pennsylvania Avenue.
Benefit OF RALEIGH HOTEL
May Build to Height of 100 Feet on
One Square Only.
AMENDED BY THE SENATE
Did Not Ask Advice of District
Officials Before Passing
Measure.

While all this talk Of making Washing
ton the most beautiful capital city Of the
world is going, and the art atmosphere
is thickening on all sides, the building
regulations are being changed SO that the
sky line Of Pennsylvania avenue can be
made to look like a tumble of uneven
parapets. where the original intention
was to preserve it's regularity at a uni
form height Of 100 feet.
Along with the new building law, which
allows buildings the city over to Zoe
erected twenty feet higher than hereto
fore, several amendments were passed
yesterday by the Senate. The amendment
which affects Pennsylvania avenue never
saw the District building officially. al
though it was discussed there often
enough. and had the Senate taken the ad-
vice of the engineer department of the
District government no such amendment
would have been offered or passed.
Wanted Uniform Height.
What the engineer department want
ed, from Maj. Judson down to the last
inspector in the building inspectors
Office. was regulation permitting uni
form height of buildings on P&nnsyl-
vania avenue from the Capitol to the
Treasury.
What the Senate did was to amend the
step in the ''city beautiful plans, by
permitting buildings on one square of
Pennsylvania avenue between 18th and
18th streets to shoot upward thirty feet
higher than the law previously has al
lowed.
No report was made by the District
Commissioners, according to informa-
ton obtained in the engineer depart
ment today.
The amendment was put on the bill for
the benefit of the Raleigh Hotel The
hotel in question has a height Of 100 feet
farther back from Pennsylvania avenue.
Part of the building Is 100 feet high. That
the legislation was introduced solely and
exclusively for that purpose, witness a
memorandum from the ONCE of Commits
sioner Judson. which reads:
I'm order that the Raleigh Hotel may
be permitted to be rebuilt on the Pennsyl-
vania avenue front to the same height
1t is now in the rear the following amend
1000, Sixty-first Congress, second ses-
sion and Senate bill 5714 for the same
purpose.
Following line %. page 4. of the bill,
add: Except that on business streets
100 feet will be allowed"
Points Out Particular Spot.
That would have raised the entire
building height all along the avenue.
AS it is the bill points out a spot on the
map. and says:
Here you can stick something up in
the air higher than the surrounding
houses"
1t is the impression at the District
building that the legislators who ia
vored this amendment feared that the
raising Of the building height all the
way down the avenue would tend to
dwarf the public buildings that may
some day be erected on that street.

dixon GETS ANGRY
Senator Says He Is Tired Of
Remarks on insurgents.

A hare-up Of resentment from insurgent
afternoon. Senator Dixon of Montana.
who has been classed frequently as an
insurgent or near-insurgent. arose to a
question OF personal privilege and caused
to be read an article in New York pa
per which declared that democratic
senator had written the remarks deliv-
cred by Senator Elkins on an amendment
to the rate bill, which had been forced
on Senator Ell1ins by the democrats
Senator Dixon called attention to what
seemed to him. in this incident. an al
lance between a regular republican and
the democrats. He said he was tired or
being classed as an insurgent and he
was likewise tired Of the difference in
the republican party being accentuated
in a certain quarter.
Senator Dixon was very angry, from
his appearance and manner. and warm
ed up as he proceeded, while Senator
Elkins. who sat nearby. grew red In the
face and fidgeted in his seat
Tired of Arrogance, He Says.
Senator Dixon went on to say that he
was tired of certain men arrogating to
themselves all the virtues Of republican
ism and seek king to read out Of the re-
publican party other republicans who
differed from them.
AS he proceeded many OF the regular
republicans began to look innocent. as IL
his remarks had no application to them,
and several busted themselves with
papers on their decks.
Senator Dixon continued for some time
in the strain of protest against the as
sumption Of superior political virtue and
party loyalty on the part OF certain
senator's and announced that he did not
propose to sit silent under the treatment
that senators who did not agree with the
leaders were receiving:
He protested emphatically that he was
as good a republican as any other in the
Senate.
Senator Elkins. when Senator Dixon
promptly disavowed any intention OF
reading Senator Dixon or any other SEN
ator out Of the party.
You are as regular as ! am. and I
said Senator Elkins.
Elkins Averts Trouble.
Senator Elkins adroitely evaded ac-
or denying that a demo-
crat had written remarks on the amend
crat had written his remarks on the
referred to. and loudly in
sisted that he was glad OF democratic
support for his measure wherever he
could get 1t.
II would like to have all the democrats
for this BILL" said Senator Elkins. I'VE
need YOU" he added. in a tone of signif-
canoe, which drew a general laugh, ''aa
we have some differences on our side"
As Senator Elzins refused to take the
protest of the Montana senator seriously
or acknowledge there was ground for IL.
and continued to declaim his delight at
having democratic support and alliance.
the incident passed OF without further
cash, which at the outset seemed immi-
nent.
