Would Impose Special Taxes,

After disclosing the fact that his
administration had produced serious
deficit. President Wilson told Congress
that there were many sources OF rev.
enue (which can justly be restorted
to-" and he promptly proposed tax OF
fifty cents per horsepower on all arl-
tomobiles and internal combustion en-
gines, and a tax OF one cent gallon
on gasoline and naptha. The Just
uce" OF the first tax is apparent when
1t Is reflected that the man who buys a
twenty-five horsepower runabout for
1890 would have to pay tax of $ll, or
approximately three per cent OF the
cost price, whereas the man who buys
forty horsepower touring car for
$4,000 would pay tax Of $50. or one
half OF one per cent on his investment.
The occupants of houses and apart
nents fitted with gas ranges would
not feel the tax on gasoline, but the
family which was compelled to cook
with gasoline stove would pay some
thing over cone cent gallon because
the retailer would add something to
the tax TO cover the expense Of him.
self and the wholesaler. The man who
uses his automobile daily. In his bust
ness or otherwise, would, even for a
light car, be thus taxed on gasoline
from 81 to Sc month. Both these
taxes would fall on every newspaper
which uses gas engine for power
on every farmer who used a gas en-.
gino in his dairy and farm work. etc
But the comparatively wealthy manu-.
facturer using steam engine would
pay no tax.
Mr.. Wilosn further proposes to raise
s1s,00O.0o0 year by a stamp tax on
bank checks. and $50 900. 900 by a ia,
OF twenty-five cents ton on pig iror
and fabricated steel and iron. This
latter tax would not only raise the do.
mestic price. but would amount TO .
tax on exports as we'll, and so woulG
place American manufacturers at ser.
ious disadvantage in the markets o,
the world.

by his party would serve to increase
the revenues by special taxes who'll,

Tfney Bus Men
Talk Rules with
the Police Board
Will Take Signs Off Wind
shields, but Object to
Other Demands.

Jitney busses will not be permitted
to carry banners announcing their
destination on the windshield here
after and members of the Board of
Police Commissioners said today that
the jitneys must not carry more than
their seating capacity Just how
they were to manage the latter
change was not announced.
The proposed regulations were first
mentioned at conference of the COM
missioners yesterday with Francis ].
Cogan, president, and William ].
Morgan, representing the Jitney own
ers' Association. The jitney men said
they were in entire accord with the
idea to keep the banners off the wind
shields, as the drivers view might be
obscured under certain conditions
They agreed also that accidents
were quite possible when twelve or
more passengers were carried in light
automobiles designed to carry FIVE,
but they expressed the belief that the
condition would automatically right
itself when the number of jitneys is
increased
The jitney men, however, did not
take kindly to the regulation requir-
ing vehicles to stop when back of a
trolley car which has come to stop,
and insisted that this requirement
was burdensome and unnecessary,
and that adequate protection would
be afforded by holding the drivers or
owners of the cars responsible for ac-
cidents.
The matter upon which Ge jitney
men were most insistent however,
was that drivers should be served
with subpoenas when they violate
regulations and should not be placed
under arrest and carried to the po-
lice station with their load of passen-
gers, as was done in one case early
this week. The commissioners made
no decided answer to this suggestion.
The jitney men did more than urge
their own case when the question of
speeding and falling to stop when
back of a trolley which has come TO
stand. according to w. j. Morgan.
They told the commissioners that they
intended to proceed against the Pub
lie Service Railway Company for per-
hitting its cars to exceed the fifteen
mile-an- hour limit, and also demand
ed to know how the commissioners
expect to limit the jitney to its seat
ing capacity and, permit trolley cars
to carry standees Further confer
ences will be held, it was said.

commissioners
Mr.. Boggs explained to the court
that. in his estima tion, an opinion
could not be certioraried, that the
fire commissioners only course would
be to act on an order from the State
board directing the reinstatement of
the denoted chiefs.
To this Justice Parker replied that
the question was a mooted one. He
suggested that the Civil Service
hoard issue an order TO the local fire
board directing the reinstatement of
the chiefs. Such an order, the JUS
tice said, could be reviewed. and IL
the order be given he will, he stated,
