FEW D. c. AUTOISTS
GET MD. LICENSES
Only $50 Provide Themselves
With 1917 PIates-No Ar.
rests Today.

Z Several thousand automobile own
ers who carry Maryland licenses on
their cars let all last month pass
without procuring a 1917 license and
constables and other law officers OF
Maryland are keeping a sharp watch
for all machines which have the hgz
ures "1916v instead of those OF the
babv year. ushed I'm this morning.
There will be New Year Day mary
land drives for only $50 District auto
owners because just that NUMBER
nrevided themselves with tags for
1917 Although the office OF the
Maryland license bureau, at TWeltth
street and New York avenue, was
open during-the entire month OF De
cember there was little business UNI
III the last few days. Then the on1ce
was swamped with demands Tor 1911
licenses.
But tomorrow morning at o'clock
all delinquents can provide tneIn-
selves with a license tag and speed
by the MaryIand authorities with EN-
yiable IMMUNITY. The bureau expects
a rushing business, so the clerks an
noun and there will be tags enough
to number every car in the Distr1ct.
AT the bureau it was learned to-
day that there had been no arrests
so far for violation of the laws. IL
was suggested as a reason for tnt1
that the temperature this morning
was not especially conducive to coun-
try drives.
The new licenses are provided win
green letters and figures, with the
background of the plate OF cream
color. Deputy Commissioner OF Motor
vehicles Charles z. Beane has re-
auested that motorists, anxious to SCI
cure new licenses, bring with them
the manufacturers number OF the
machine, as this Information Is
necessary part Of the bureaus rec
ords, and in the past has Irequenuy
been the cause Of much CONFUSION anu
inconvenience.

IMPENDING DEFICIT
WORRIES CONGRESS
Democratic Leaders Much Con.
.cerned Over Where Money
Is Coming From.

Congress has troublous time ahead
on the revenue legislation. Demo
cratic leaders in Congress, as well as
the President, are much concerned
over where the money is to come from
to keep things going the rest of this
fiscal year, and the fiscal year which
begins July !.
Taxation of coffee is. one of the
things the Treasury officials and some
of the leaders in Congress are con-
sidering, along with duties on rubber
and wool, with higher rates on sugar.
Right at this point there is going
to be strong protest if the plans under
discussion are carried out.
Long n Cry.
mo tax on the breakfast table" is a
cry which has been repeatedly heard
in this country, and, with the cost of
living already at point where many
families are suffering, it is sure to
be raised again il a duty on coffee
is attempted.
Every time the tariff is revised
there is talk about taxation of coffee.
Congress has discussed the idea fire.
'quently, but 1t has found intense op-
position. That similar opposition will
be found in the present instance is
not to be doubted.
II the Democrats go ahead with the
plan TO put a duty on coffee, Repub-
licans may be expected to fight n
strenuously. Nor is IT likely the Dem
ocTats can be united on 1t, even
though 1t may be-argued that a tax
on coffee or tea is purely a revenue
duty.
Revenue Duty.
A duty on rubber, too, would be q
revenue duty. With the present high
prices of rubber in this country, II
may be set down as certainty that
automobile users and4other consumers
Of rubber will not take kindly to this
proposed tax.
AS to a tax on wool, while Repub
licans would regard this as protective
and would not oppose It, the fact that
States which have been leaders in
crying for a wool tariff have gone to
the Democrats, will probably cause
the Republicans to be less concerned
about wool than ordinarily.
The truth about the revenue and
fiscal situation is that Congress Is
spending money at a rate without
precedent in the history of the coun-
try. The huge outlay OF last session
and the enormous outlay which is
certain to be allowed this session are

opinions of a good many men In Con
gress are correct.
a session OF Congress has become
an occasion for appropriations and
authorizations mounting close to the
1000, OO0, 900 mark. Nor is there any
real sign that expenditures for Gov
eminent purposes are going to be low
cred.
On the contrary. they are likely TO
increase. While II is the fashion 70
say the cause Is increased money for
preparedness, this is not the whole
truth. Government outlay is growing
in every direction.
Under the circumstances, the reve
nues OF peace times would not be ade-
quate to keep up with the outlay.
That is to say, the so-called war
revenue legislation. as it looks now,
will have to be continued IL peace
comes or some new revenue measures
devised to make up funds derived
from 1t.
Ordinary Tariff Not Enough.
Ordinary tariff duties. and ordinary
internafrevenu receipts are not go
ing to be adequate, as some suppose,
when peace comes.
The American public is in for heay-
Ter taxation for the Federal Govern.
ment as a Permanent proposition, and
when it awakens to this fact, IL is
not likely to be pleased about it, es
pecially IL lean years succeed the
present period of prosperity.
= 1t Is expected that to meet such
deficit as may be threatened this
fiscal year bonds will be issued. But

want to avoid reliance on bonds to
meet that situation. Naturally, the
Democratic leaders don't want to 90
into a Congressional campaign with
big bond Tissue.
Not Much Time.
Not much time will be given this
session of Congress. from January 2
to March 4 or less than two months,
to enact revenue legislation.
1t is by no means certain II can
be disposed OF in that time. especially
with railroad and other legislation
Of moment to be considered.
The House Republicans are sus-
picious that the Democrats will
hand a package" to them II the Re-
publicans organize the-House by hav-
ing an extra session and letting the
Republicans frame a revenue bill to
meet Treasury conditions.
A large share OF the Republicans
in the House have not much stomach
for the responsibility and say frank
ly they prefer to let 1t rest on the
Democrats.

DELINQUENT WATER USERS
GRANTED TINE EXTENSION

Because of the existing public en-
ergency and as a war measure to in
crease the production of crops, the
project manager has been authorized
to deliver water to those on the
project who are delinquent in their
water right charges, upon the ex-
ecution by the owner of the land of
a satisfactory note covering the de-
linquent charges and penalties there
on.
Owing to the unprecedented con-
ditions arising this spring all es-
Inmates and calculations have gone
awry and a number of water users
found themselves faced with the
necessity of spending money intend
ed for payment of back water right
charges to purchase seed or of fore
going the purchase of seed in order
to meet the charges required to be
paid before the water is delivered.
AS the water would be of very lit
tie use without the seed and vice
versa, and in view of the national
emergency calling for the raising OF
as much crops as possible, Project
Manager Hough wired for and Sc
cured the necessary authority for de-
livering water to those owing delin-
quent water right charges to the ex-
tent that the local afficers were pre-
vented from delivering water TO
them. The relief requested was
promptly granted and it is now pos
sible for the 80 or 40 delinquent
water users to secure both seed and
water, the latter by simply giving a
promissory note covering the amount
of the delinquent charges and PEN
alties.

talks on salesmanship an1 store CO.
operation. In closing Mr., B. c. Ar
cher summed up the talks that had

teresting things of his varied busi-
ness experience.
Several musical numbers were
given and quite a number of cou-
plies enjoyed dancing. Altogether
the evening was most enjoyably
spent and it is the intention of teh
firm to promote these gatherings
thus bringing the store help closer
together into one seeming big fami-
ly.
After singing America the gather

Thief ROBS SLEEPING
GUESTS AT GRAND HOTEL

Several of the guests at the Grand
hotel had their clothing "frisked"
while they were sleeping in their
rooms at the Grand Hotel last
Thursday night. The sneak thief,
who was evidently some one familiar
with the premises, for he entered
each room in turn and rifed the
pockets of his sleeping victims ap-
parently at his leisure.
Despite the thoroughness of his
search the burglar received little for
his pains, the net amount of loot in
coin was but 90 cents. Several
small articles of jewellery we're TAX
en-, but later recovered in a drawer
In the bathroom, with the exception
Of a Waltham watch. One of the
guests is also minus a pair of tan
shoes
