Decision.

The vexatious haif-and-half princi-
pie of taxation in the District. which
has been a bone Of contention be-
tween the two Houses Of Congress for
sixteen years. is to be given separate
consideration in the House and sen-
ate.
A bill providing for the abolition OF
the half-and-half will be drawn next
week by Congressman Carl e. Mapes,
chairman Of the District Committee.
In the meantime he will consult with
members of the District and appropri-
ations committees as to the proposed
measure
In order to be fair to all parties
concerned, Chairman Mapes will ar
range for bearings before his commit
tee. The bill will be introduced in
the House soon after the present holi-
day. The hearings may begin a week
or SO later.
It is said to be the opinion not only
of Mr.. Mapes, but of the majority of
the House who voted for the elimina-
ton OF the half-and-half plan from
the Districts scheme Of taxation, that
the entire expense for the District
should be taken from the taxes col
lected by the local authorities until
the total is exhausted, and II there
should then be deficit II should be
drawn from the United States Treas
ury.
The Mapes elimination bill will meet
the desires of both Senators and Rep
resentatives who have contended that
the question should be given consid-
Grafton as a separate measure and not
as rider on an appropriation bill.
