JAPS TO join
U. S. IN PACIFIC
OCEAN PATROL
American Ships Will Cover
Western Coast and Be-
yond Hawaii.

Complete plans have been worked
out here and In Tokyo for joint patrol
of the Pacific by American and Japa-
nese warships.
This cooperation. first announced in
Secretary Lansing's statement, was
discussed yesterday by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels. Mr.. Daniels would
say nothing OF the details OF the plan,
but asserted that the naval experts
af both countries and discussed the
situation at length and reached COM
plete agreement.
Unofficially, 1t was learned that the
United States will be in sole patrol of
waters OF the American Pacific Coast
and beyond Hawaii. This American
patrol will probably extend as far as
Guam. on the China coast and on the
Important trade lanes to Vladivostock,
Japanese warships will cooperate to
keep the sea clear OF German raiders.
Britain Aids Work.
While generally viewed as dual con-
troll, it Is in reality tripartite, as Brit
Ish warships also are engaged in hunt
ing down raiders in the Pacific. On
the Western Coast of Canada. Ameri-
can ships are doing a great part of
the work. as there are few British war
vessels in those waters, but in the far
reaches OF the ocean, the British Asia
tic fleet is doing duty.
One feature of the patrol will be
the possible guarding Of the Australian
coasts by japanese war vessels. The
major ships OF the Australian navy
are understood to be in other waters

MOTOR VEHICLE
OWNERS TOPAY
TAX ON JAN. |
Licenses in the Future Will
Only Run for one
Year.

Automobile owners will be hit by
the new auto tax which goes into
effect in Washington the first of next
year. Many dollars that heretofore
have gone to help pay the gasoline
and tire bills will be diverted to the
Golfers OF the District by the law
which imposes a graduated tax on
all automobiles and motorcycles, and
requires yearly renewal of licenses
granted.
Under the present law which has
been in effect for some time, owners
OF automobiles and motorcycles are
required only to obtain a license once
at a cost of 81. The same license
served as long as the same car was
used and the same person owned 1t.
Rate of Taxation.
Only the owners of motorcycles will
get off under the new law with as
light a tax as 81. The least the poor
automobile owner will have to pay
will be 50 and the rate runs up to
SO. The tax is fixed on the horse
power of car based on the A. l.
A. NJ. rating.
The scale follows: Motorcycles, s.;
automobiles up to "a horsepower, 50;
above "a and not over 30, s.; above
90 horsepower. SO. Licenses granted
to demonstrators of machines will
cost Sc.
S31,O92 Paid Last Year.
During the last fiscal year s3l, ,092
was received by the Tax Collectors
Office, 1856 licenses having been
granted.
Just how much the income of the
District from this source will be in
creased by the new law could not be
ascertained, because of the varying
fees paid for licenses. but with the
thousands Of owners who have OBJ
tained licenses in previods years
which still are good obtaining new
tags officials Of the tax collectors
Office declared they expected to see
it doubled many times.
