ONLY 14DAYSLEFT
TO BUY AUTO TAGS
Car Owners Who Do Not Get
License by January Are
Liable to Arrest.

Fourteen days remain to obtain
1921 license tags for automobiles.
Wade II. Coombs. superintendent OF
licenses. today stated positively nc
would not recommend an extension
of time after January 1 for automobile
owners to get their tags.
Any person without 1921 tag ar
ter the new year is liable TO arrest.
Only 1900 tags have been Issued
to date. superintendent Coombs says
20 900 more tags should be obtained
before January 1. There are usually
81, 900 issued by the first OF each
year.
Superintendent Coombs explained
today that 1921 tags may be put on
automobiles Immediately upon their
issuance. This does not hold true for
Maryland tags, however, and State
au thorities are calling attention to
the fact that 1921 Maryland tags can
not be used until January next.

House Leaders Confident Meas

As Reported.


bia appropriation bill In the House
late this afternoon was forecasted
by House leaders who vouch that
the measure will be sent over TO the
Senate In substantially the same
form as reported from committee.
SOME RAISES PRUNED.
House leaders showed a disposition
to question the few increases In per-
sonnet provided by the committee for
terday's brief debate. but further
siashing Of the measure is not eN-
pected.
Due to the fact that the appropria-
tions committee, "hewed SO close to
the line" as Congressman Davis re-
marked, there Is very little that can
be eliminated without doing serious
damage to the efficiency of the vari-
Gus departments OF the local govern
ment.
Approval of the 6O-4O method OF APP
propriating for the District met with
no opposition from proponents of the
old fifty-ffty plan, who were content
to leave the question to be threshed
legislative bill which proposes to
change the fiscal relations between
the two governments.
Congressman Sssel, former chair
man of the subcommittee in charge
of District appropriations defenued
the Amendment of the $3.50 plan. de-
claring that the new method Of re-
curing the Federal Government to
appropriate forty per cent of the
revenues of the District imposes too
great a burden on the Federal Treas
sury as it is.
The existing tax, he declared. con-
stitutes the smallest municipal tax
rate in the country.
TAXATION DISCUSSION.
Discussion of the taxation rate
brought from Congressman Buchanan
of Texas the statement that the total
value of taxable property in the Dis
trict follows; Real estate, S461 800
900; personal property. sTI.OOO.OO0: in
tangible property. 343,300, 900, making
total of 1891 100000.
The question of bringing about
better reciprocity agreements be-
tween the District of Columbia and
Maryland with respect to the recog-
milton of automobile licenses was
brought up by Congressman Blanton
of Texas, who protested against the
discrimination by Maryland officials
"That is a matter which the legis-
lative committee OF the District of
Columbia would cheerfully take up
if the gentleman would introduce
a bill of that kind" replied Con-
gresham Davis. He said the oues-
tion was out of jurisdiction of the
Appropriations Committee, which Mr..
Blanton had contended was the real
grandmother" of the District.
Mr. Blanton stoutly contended that

HOTEL RATES
Senators Reused by Inaugural
Charges Propose to Re-

Congress is going TO make an h.
vestigation Of proposed inaugura~

The ire Of Senators already has
been aroused by reports that the sc
rates are going to dwarf all pre- :,
Gus charges of the kind into insig
and even establish nsyy>
high-water marks in the UnfS0A
States.

he innocently called one of the Capt.

rates would be for 1.-TWO rooms and

He was promptly informed, 80 report
has 1t, that any reservation of this
sort would have to be made for seven
days. and that the charge for the
entire period would be $3.50. Where
upon there was a hectic atmosphere
in the immediate vicinity of one Sem
ate committee room in the Capitol.
and one Missourian decided that he
would have "to be shown" He was
Joined in this resolve by several other
senator's who heard the story.
SENATORS ARE ANGRY.
III the Washington hotels are going
to make any blanket rule that all
reservations for the Inauguration are
to be for period of seven days. when
as a matter of fact the inaugural
ceremonies are concluded in a single
day, we might as well know It now

what steps are TO be taken to com bat

1t was suggested by one Senator
yesterday that the Inaugural Commit

local business men in persuading them
to place their charges on q moderate
basis. 1t is possible even that Sena-
tor Harding may be communicated
with in regard to the matter, since
the possibility that thousands Of WISH

treatment from a small minority of

keepers as to constitute a national
disgrace" has not been overlooked.
