CITIZENS SATISFIED
WITH TAXATION PLAN
II. B. F.. MaCfarland Says Aboli-
ton Of Half-and- Half Only
Unsatisfactory Feature.

with the exception Of its reeommen-
dalton to abolish the ''half-and-half'
plan, II. r. +. mcfarland. chairman Of
the joint citizens committee that
fought for the continuance OF that
plan. today said the report OF the joint
Congressional committee coincided with
the contentious made by the citizens
committee.
TT is. of course. regrettable that the
continuance OF the 'half-and-hsif' plan
since without such definite proportion
there can be no assurance that the ma
tlon will contribute regularly as much
as the District taxpayers, or as much
as the Capital needs" said Mr.. Mac
farland.
To Guarantee Progress.
THE logic of all other statements Of
the report except those about the half
and-half plan is that a definite propor-
ton in appropriations should be main
tained, so as to insure steady and ade-
quate progress. for all the rest OF the
report Is practically what we main
tained before the Joint committeeJ II
is very gratifying that the joint coyn-
mittee adopts our contention that we
are not underassassed and sufficient
ly taxed.
It's report completely answers the
misleading statements as to an assess .
ment and taxation which furnished tire
chief argument for the abolition 0f the
