tificates. held by banks
In need, the government. through its
agents. appealed to the banks to buy
tax-free securities at less than going
rates of interest in the money marts
of the nation. The banks responded.
As one banker puts it: 1T is i'm
possible to sense the arguments or
theory of the Commissioners of the
District in thinking that such tax
could be imposed"
The banking corporations of the Dis
trict are assessed 6 per cent on gross
earnings in lieu of all other personal
taxes. They are now asked to segre-
gate their earnings so to show the
income from the various government
issues
That the matter will be finally ad-

conclusion. and that the Commissioners
will be obliged to initiate the proceed
ings- Bankers who have given the
case considerable thought declare that
IT is contrary to the law.
Perhaps the Commissioners found a
precedent in the fact that the interest
on per cents issued by the govern
. ment with circulation privilege have
before been Included in gross earn
ings.
The banks of the District, in COM
mon with the banks of the nation, have
lost heavily in time, service and money
in the assistance rendered the govern
ment in the fiotation of it's war paper,
and should not again be called upon for
additional expense.
District bankers will discuss the
subject Friday afternoon at a special

HARDING MAY ALTER
PLANS FOR WINTER
Friends Advising Him to Locate

hardly be said that the Harding home
will become the mecca for more Iil-
grims than are wont to visit even
the Mecca OF Oriental fame. One sug-
gestion Is that he take quarters in
one of the leading hotels and this
would simplify things from ~"
standpoint OF Mrs. Harding who
would thus avoid the resDonslbilit
OF managing her household through
the trying weeks preceding the IN
augural.
Senator Harding plans to consult
with many Senators and House MEM
bers and with many Republican lead
ers In the course of the winter lie
has been calculating on calling thehn
To Marion. But, the fact Is many OF
the big men OF the party are not en-
amored of a long trip to Marion In
midwinter and would much rather
come to Washington. Senate ana
House members, of course. would De
on the ground and could consult
Mr.. Harding freely. 1t would De
much to the convenience OF Congress
to have the President-elect close at
hand and in many respects II would
be convenient for him. Furthermore,
he could be more freely consulted
about the arrangements for his In
augural.
The objection to being in Washing
ton. from Senator Harding's stand
point. is that he would probably have
so many callers az to be burdensome.

Federal Jobs. He would have many
callers OF course. In Marion, but not
so many. Railroad fare is high ana
then there are the Marion hotels,
which are something OF hardship.
Some there be, too. who opine that
II would be more dignified for the
President-elect to stay away from the
Capital in the period prior to his In
augural. But as a Senator having
residence In Washington. Mr.. Harding
would seem to be quite within the
prophecies in coming here. In a GER
tain sense, the outgoing Administra-
ton might. be inclined to object that
the President-elect had established
himself in the Capital just as IL he
had already been inaugurated. but as
q matter OF fact any OF the reasons
urged against coming here are rather
tenuous unless II be the one that SEN
ator Harding would be the objective
Of such an army OF callers here as to
tire him out and prevent him from
doing many things in the way OF
work preliminary to assuming the
Presidency which he would like to do.
TAFT PRECEDENT CITED.
1T will be recalled that, some weeks
prior to his inauguration. in 1909,
W llliam ii. Taft made his headquar-
teTS at the IndHSiOH' ti'fc,
he was in close and frequent consul
tation with leaders in Congress and
party leaders. Moreover, folks hunt
ing for place and patronage camped
on his trail from morning until late
at night. The automobiles parked in
the region of the Taft headquarters
in the weeks before the Inauguration
resembled those Of the transport OF d
good-sized expedition.
incidentally, the close friends OF
President Roosevelt did not like the
idea very well. They seemed to feel
there was slight haste in the APP
plication of the saying: THE king ~
dead; long live the king Neverthe-
less. it is a fact that Mr.. TAFT was
advised to establish himself here by
some of the strong men in the mate
to whom he was close.
CAN'T LIMIT CALLERS.
with respect to the matter OF who
will call on Senator Harding, whether
here or at Marion, IL can be said
quite plainly that it will be impossi-
BILE for the Senator or anyone else
to limit the callers to any prescribed
list OF Senators, House members,
party leaders or politicians. Save 20
far as time may limit the list, it is
not likely Senator Harding will put
any arbitrary bounds on it. That
is, he will have to see men in Con-
gress of all shades of views and all
if they want to see him and
his door will have to be open within
reasonable bounds to the American
public. Presumably il he makes head |
quarters in Washington, he will set
tie down to having certain fixed hours |
when he will receive callers, much Is !
he would do If he were in the White |
House.
1t may be a little hard on Marion. |
Ohio. if Senator Harding is induced |
to pitch his tent in Washington this |
winter. but II he does it is certain |
that all roads will lead to the Ma |
tional Capital, whether railroads, |
motor roads, air routes, or the water
ways.
