Colonel Harper has been identified
with so many parades in the past
that the first thing done after de-
Gliding TO hold procession. Of some
sort In WashingtOn, Is to go TO him

Gaping taxation by establishing a res
idence here.
In 1917, Congressman Ben Johnson.
Of Kentucky. then chairman of the
House District Committee, introduced
in the House q bill to restore the tax
on intangible personal property. The
tax he asked for was the same as
charged on tangible property-$1.5O so
per 800.
The Johnson bill did not pass, but
its author succeeded in having a rider
on the District appropriation bill OF
1917 which carried a provision tax
ing intangible personal property at
three-tenths OF l per cent.
Pays S2yOOOyOOO Annually.
1t was estimated at that time that
this tax would yield an annual in
come to the District government Of
about $4,000, 900.
A stiff tight will be made by certain
financial interests OF the District
when the bill comes up for considera-
tion.

FOR UNION BATTLE

The legal battle between the City
Policemen's Union and the District
Commissioners begins in the District
supreme Court at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning, when the police Of Washing
ton will seek permanently to prevent
.he commission from discharGlnE DO
licemen because of organized labor
Affiliations.
Wilton J. Lambert and Rudolph H.
Yeatman are representing the police,
while Conrad H. syme, District Cor

mission.
As the time for the hearing on the
writ OF injunction iled by the union
uears, Washington police are watch
ing with interest the turn of affairs
n Boston, where the police have gone
on strike. The union in Boston is
similar to the one here. and At one
lime had in its constitution a no
'trike" clause similar to the wash
lngton union.
Members Of the union In this city
are reticent in giving their opinion
OF the action Of the police in Boston,
but will openly state that no such ac-
tion will be taken in Washington, and
that the decision Of the Supreme Court
probably will end the case.
Tomorrow, also, q meeting of the
police union is scheduled. l. z.
Dreager, president Of the union, and
two other union members who are
named in the writ, win report TO the
