Rules Out Single Tax Debate.

Senator Salisbury at this point ruled
that any further discussion of the sin
gle tax problem was out of order.
The giving of Mr.. Edson's testimony
and opinions concluded with the ex-
preston of his belief that there should
be a fixed rate of taxation in Washing
ton Representative Cooper brought
this out when he asked Mr.. Edison this
question:
IF Congress permits the law to stand.
which provides that there shall be
fixed rate of s1.50 per hundred. Is it not
true that the present attack on the
taxation system will keep up?'
Mr.. Edison said he thought so. but
that while advocating fxed rate he
wanted to say that he believes there
are reasons why the people of the Dis
trict should pay less taxes than in any
community.
"In other communities, Mr.. Edison
said-and he declared 1T was not neces-
sary to specify them-"20 per cent, 80
per cent and sometimes as much as 40
per cent of the money appropriated
| from the taxes is money appropriated
| for corruption. In this city under the
| haIf-and- half plan we have never had
an accusation of corruption. and by
reason of the fact that all of our money
! that is appropriated is actually used,
with none of 1t going for corrupt pur-
poses, / think we ought to have lower
taxes than any other community where

was made before the congressional
committee investigating the fiscal re-
lations between the District and the
federal government yesterday after
noon by John Joy Edison.
Mr.. Edison, however, would have the
commission form of government re-
retained as at present. with Congress

said, that it would be wise to disturb
in any way the authority of the Con-

Pitcher Eddie Plank
Has Narrow Escape

The st. Louis Feds came nearly
losing Eddie Plank yesterday. The
former Mack twirler had a narrow
escape from being hurled to death by
a Reading train. Plank was enroute
to Harrisburg in his automobile to
catch a train west. Heavy rains
flooded the subway near Rosegarden
and Plank climbed the bank intend
ing to cross the railroad tracks.
The auto stalled on the tracks. A
fast train was approaching but Plank
stuck to his car, getting 1t moving in
time to avoid an accident. He was
only two feet from the tracks when
the fast train passed. Plank had
spent Sunday with his family on the
farm near Gettysburg.
The roads were in bad condition.
Plank forded four streams from
which bridges had been washed away
and found his path blocked where the
road passes under the tracks near
Rosegarden, west of this city, and
with his driver dug a zig-zag path
way to the 7embankmept of the rail-
road, UP which he drove his car.
Plank reached Harrisburg in time
to catch the train for Chicago.

Being by profession a solicitor it is

in criminal cases. He will follow the

questions he would have put to the
witnesses and what verdict he would
have given If he had been in the jury.

quantity of margarine which is con-
sumed. A few weeks afterward the
following conversation took place.
Mr.. Lloyd George: II sent for
some of your margarine the other
day."
The Friend: How did you like it?"
Mr.. Lloyd George: We'll, it SEEM

feel that / was doing the right thing.
The Friend: IT suppose you thought
you were robbing the poor cow of her
living"
Mr. Lloyd George: Eyes. Having
been brought up in the. country 1 re-
gard the COW as a sacred animal. -
