tional Capital has gotten along most
satisfactorily for thirty-years, under
an efiicient and honest government.

showing the wisdom and Justice OF the

A salvo of applause greeted Mr.. West
when he said that '.it's bad enough to
have taxation without representation. but
it's going to be a great deal worse to
suffer confischtion." Much laughter was
created by his assertion that everybody
who wants to go to the White House and
see the President on some cranky idea, Is
sent to the Government Hospital for the
Insane, and is charged up to the people
Of the District"
Judge Prouty nkened the idea of ad-
dressing Washington audience to that

fact that he could not go into barber

The District was charged with selfish
ness. that supreme influence in human
affairs that even vanluishcs love-" by
the member OF the House District Com
mittee. He assured he listeners that he
had no malice. ill-wili or hatred against
the District.
Then Representative Prouty made an
ardent plea in behalf of taxing real
estate and personal property at the same
rate, and taxing Jewels, 5ewelry, and
similar articles of adornment. He termed
'.indefensible" the policy Of exempting
from taxation the moneys, credits, stocks,
and bonds of the predatory rich, while
levying full tribute upon the small hold
ings Of personal property on which the
laboring man has to depend to earn his
daily bread"
E. W. Oyster. member of the board of
assessoys, at the conclusion Of Judge
speech. pointed to the fact that
there are at present between 1900 and
5000 small homes idle. He asserted
that the Johnson-Prouty amendments to
the George bill. IL enacted into law. would
break the back of the small taxpayers,
while failing to reach those who really
should be reached. Thomas z. VIII pre-
sided at the meeting.

Mr.. Gaininger finds that the motorcycle
not only pays as a business asset. but

there are now 225,0oo motorcycles in use
