yesterday suggested reductions in rate
ranging from A cents to sLn on COM
mutation tickets on the Washington and

months and containing twenty-sx round
trip tickets, should be sold from all points

elusive. to Cherrydale. for 81. 1t was
suggested further, that the present twen-
ty-six-trip family ticket should not be
cancelled, but that an adjustment of rates
might be advisable. Rates on these
tickets, including transfer to points with
in the District, are suggested as follows:
From Franklin Park-Old rate, H.6O:

WE ARE TOO SUSPICIOUS

Corporation Counsel Conrad II. Syme,
speaking before the Park View Citizens
Association last night, made a stirring
speach on the relations between the Ma
tional Capital and Congress.
Mutual understanding was the key
note of his address. Admitting that few
members of Congress have an intimate
knowledge of the needs and conditions
Of the District" the corporation counsel
pleaded with his listeners TO realize that
these men are liable to misinformation
and often are misled by distorted state
ments" He asserted emphatically that
there has been too much unjust criti-
cism on both sides Of late. This criti-
cism, he added, can only serve to widen
the breach now existing between the
Capital and its parents"
Mr.. Syme said, in part:
Hampers All Progress.
1T is undeniably the fact that dIssatis-
faction and suspicion hampers the pros-
ress Of the District, fiscal and political
Harsh criticism on both sides has been

HITS PROUTY'S PLAN
Adopts Statement Saying Amendment
Would Work Harm to Small
Home Owners.
URGE CONGRESS TO DEFEAT 1T

Vigorous opposition to the Prouty
amendment to the George bill was ex-
pressed last evening by the Tax Reform
Association of the District of Columbia
at its meeting at the Public Library.
The protest took the form % a state
ment, which was unanimously adopted by
the association The statement is as fol-
lows:
Believing tha; the so-caIled Prouty
amendment to the George bill, pro-
viding for the assessment and taxa
ton OF real estate in the District of
Columbia, would, If enacted into law,
work infinite harm to the small home
owners of the District, the Tax Re-
form Association of the District of
Columbia declares its opposition TO
said amendment.
The said amendment destroys the
original purpose Of the George bill by
providing for the taxation of personal
property to which this association Is
unalterably opposed for the reason
that each tax operates as a fine upon
industry, thrift, and economy. The
said amendment also provides for a
minimum rate of taxation on real
estate. assessed at its fun value.
which would be unfair to the small
home-owners and increase their al
ready onerous burden OF taxation. We
ahe heartily in favor of the George
bill in its original form. but If the
Prouty amendment is retained in the
bill We urge Congress to defeat the
bill
The Tax Reform Association is primar-
lily in favor of single tax. but in the
present agitation in regard to taxation in
the District, it has taken an active part
in any movement for tax reform. A

Brief Synopsis of Report is Presented to Interior De- partment Against Pass ing Moqui and Navajo Scrip Lands to Patent

The hearing before the interior department of the protest of the Arizona land commission against the passing to patent of the lands in the state covered by Navajo base and Moqui scrip was concluded on Thursday. The commission was rep resented by Chairman Mulford Win sor. who was armed with a report prepared by the commission and with a large number of maps repre- senting months of research and labor.
 The report is a history of the selection of the lieu lands to date Chairman Winsor took with him a large numbes of maps showing where the lieu land selections have been made. Another document is a di- gest of the legislation in the course of some years permitting these se lections. This digest. the work oi P. D. Southworth, an attache of the commission, describes methods of legislation which would be impOs sble now
 The history of the commission s action, gathered from reports, shows that an investigation of the charac ter of these lieu land selections was begun soon after the creation of the commission. As the commission p.o- ceeded with the selection of state lands under the enabling act it en- countered larger and larger areas of this selected land.
