TAXES SEXCEED
COSTS0 OF D. c.
0ne-third Larger Than Last
Year-Personal Assessments
lump 100000.

Washington's tax rate is produc-
ing more revenue than is actually
needed to pay the expenses of the
Government. This is the opinion
of District officials. The tax books
for the year have been computed
and the addition of the tax shows
that there has been an increase in
revenue of about 33 1-3 per cent.
$1,000 900 INCREAsE.
The personal tax alone amounted
to about $l,OOO,0OO more than last
year. Last year the yield from this
source was S3.OS9, 79s.S0. This year
this same tax will yield $4,07s,s49.le.
The real estate tax was over w.
600, 900 more this year than last year.
although based upon old valuations.
The new valuation on real estate will
60 into effect July 1, next, and this
will mean at least another half mil
lion dollars in taxes. The increase
Is due to the new tax of 1.eo. The
old rate. so. was changed last July.
Tangible personal property in the
District yielded a tax of $1.634.9I3.o3
this year at the increased rate. Last
year the yield was S1,002 2,3l5.71. This
year the amount Of money paid INTO
the District Golfers by the taxpayers
on this item alone was over $6Oo,ooo
more than last year.
Banks and public utility corpora
tions paid 1880. 900 this year, against
100000 last year.
INTANGIBLE TAX SAME.
In the Intangible personal tax there
was not such a difference, because
the rate of three-tenths Of per cent
still is adhered to. Last year $96S,-
O93s3 was derived from this source.
The increase in real estate tax was
more marked than in the personal
property tax. This year the District
" i'll collect from land holders $S,47s,-
493.33, about 100000 more than last
year.
The number of personal tax ac-
counts last year exceeded the expec-
tations of the officials. More than
~. 900 persons, or one out OF every
ten, paid a personal tax.

PLUMB HITS CUT IN
RAIL LABOR WAGES
Sees No Need to Slash Pay in
Order to Reduce Freight
Rates.

Strong opposition to any cut in
wages OF railroad employees "at least
until the cost of living is reduced and
until the gross inefficiency of man
agement of railroad operations has
been remedied." was voiced last night
at a meeting Of the joint association
Of railroad employees in the new Ma
sonic Temple.
resentatives OF sixteen of the larger
railroad organizations, OF which
more than 1000 were present last
night.
Glenn II. Plumb, author of the ia
nous Plumb Plan" charged that the
cost of operating the railroads could
be cut to the extent of $1.650,0O0.0o0
year and freight rates could be cut
in half without reducing wages IL the
railroads were efficiently managed.
He declared that the railroads had
dropped moro than 100000 men from
their payrolls since the wage in
creases had been granted and that
there had been a 2S per cent decrease
in the number of employees and a II
per cent increase In wages and II was
therefore not necessary to reduce
wages in order to reduce freight rates.
Other speakers were: Williarm N.
Doak, vice president Of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen; Con-
sressman Huddleston of Alabama
former Congressman John M. Baer;
Henry P. Hunt, formerly of the
Railroad Labor Board: and James j.

REM, In the hopes OF strenStneh-
ing his voice, which he had recovered
after an airplane flight about six
weeks ago, went up for flight on
April 81. The flight did not have
the desired effect, for four days later
his voice failed him entirely asain.
Despairing OF the airplane cure,
REM consulted several physicians In
this city and they worked on him
without obtaining any beneficial re-
suits. Last week he consulted the
physicians of the Public Health
Service and they persuaded him to
try another airplane flight.
This morning, about IL o'clock. he
went up for a flight in machine
piloted by Lieut.. Leroy Wolfe, wno
took him on his first flight. The ma
chine was equipped with speaking
tubes so that the pilot could observe
under what conditions and at what
altitude his voice showed best results.
Lieut.. Wolfe tried stunts at low
altitude. all the time Keeping UP n
running conversation with REM. The
flight did not seem TO be doing REM
any good and II was then decided to
take an altitude fight.
Lieut.. Wolfe was unable to see
The Washington times., 1921-05-07

any beneficial results until he had
reached a height of 12.5OO feet when
REM suddenly began to speak plain
ly and loud enough to be heard. The
pilot continued the flight for about
thirty-hve minutes before descend
irg.
Physicians at the Public Health
Service would not say today that
the flight will permanently restore
Eenzs voice. They said that after
the first flight they thought they
had affected a cure. but when Renx's
voice went back on him again, they
were not sure that II would be a
uermanent cure. However, they said
they were pleased with the result
and though that II could not do
anything but good.
REM lost his voice last fall while
out riding in his automobile, but
physicians ct the Public Health Serv-
ice said that the nffliction was due
to the ordeals which he underwent
as n memher Of a tank regiment dur
ing the war. He was under she'll fra
many times and was in the fercest
fighting the American troops went
