D. c. HEADS TO ASK
NEW LEGISLATION
Of NEXT CONGRESS
Proposed ''BIue Sky Law"
Among important Bills to
Be Presented.
ALSO WANT AMENDMENT
TO LOAN SHARK STATUTE
Higher Interest Rate Believed Ad-
visable-Better Regulation of
Milk Supply Also Desired.

A number of important bills affect
ing the District will be sent to Con-
gress by the Commissioners next
the special session opens
A new piece of legislation to be sub
mitted is the proposed blue sky law"
to prevent the sale of unsound stocks
and other securities. This bill was
prepared by committee represent
ing the bankers of the city and has
been approved by the Commissi oners.
Another important bill which the
Commissioners again will submit with
the request for early action is that
amending the loan shark law of 1918.
Would Raise Interest Rate.
This bill would raise from / to 9
per cent the rate of interest which
pawnbrokerS and money lenders
would be permitted to charge. Prac
ticaiiy no pawnbroking business has
been done in the District since the
interest rate was restricted to l per
cent. and it is the belief of the Com
missioners and the citizens commit
tee in charge of this question that
there is need for pawnshops in the
ci ty under certain regulations.
According to George S. Wilson. sec
retary of the citizens committee
in other cities on per cent rate OF
interest. and it is believed they would
establish themselves here at that
rate.
The proposed bill would not limit
the amount that a pawnbroker could
lend on jewelry or other personal eff
fects. 1t would limit, however. to
5000 advances made by money lenders
on personal notes. The theory of the
citizens committee is that persons
who need loans of more than 5000 are
able to make them through the
banks.
1t is understood the Commissioners
also are working on bill to au-
thorize the preparation of survey
for a connecting parkway between
the old civil war forts around the
Nationay Capital.
Other Proposed LeEislation.
Health Officer Fowler is now en-.
gagged in redrafting for submission
at this session the bill to better regu-
late the city's milk supply. which
failed. in the last Congress,
In addition. the Commissioners ex-
pect to have a special budget of esti-
mates ready early in the session to
meet the urgent needs OF the school
system by drawing on the four mil
lion dollars of surplus District reve-
nues. coupled with an appropriation
from the federal government, either
on the $3.50 or 60-4O basis
The Commissioners also will submit
to Congress next week deficiency
bill to meet the urgent needs of the
various departments of the city gov
ernment for the remaining three
months of the fiscal year.

suggestions as to means of raising
the four billion dollars of revenue
necessary for the conduct of the ma
tional government during the next
hscal year will be sent to Congress
early next week. Secretary Mellon
said today. Discussion of sources
which may be tapped by the new tax
program will be concluded probably
Saturday by the Secretary of the
Treasury and his staf of advisers.
Inus Tar. 1t was stated, definite
decision has been reached on only one
question affecting tax revision Mr..
mellon viii recommend repeal of the
excess profits tax. but he has not yet
decided what form of levy, will sup
plant that wartime revanue provis-
Ion.
Vital Decisions Pending.
In connection with tax revision, it
appeared that no determination had
been reached regarding redemption of
the so-called floating debt or short
term Treasury certificates of indebt-
edness totaling around $2,770, ,00O, 900
in other than the presen fashion of
reissuing certificates to take the
place Of those maturing, less the
amounts paid when funds are availa-
Bile. This phase of federal financing
as well as the retirement of $4,10O,-
100000 in victory notes. due in two
years. is regarded as being insepa-
rably linked with any tax program
Action on the certificate payments
and maturing victory notes may be
left for determination by Congress in
connection with disposition of the
great wartime debt which it has been
proposed to fund into long-term
bonds.
Ex-Secretary Houston's Plan.
Former Secretary Eous;on aad
planned t. merge the victory notes
into a floating debt to be retired as
are certificates of Indebtedness, but
sentiment in Congress for a funding
of the entire outstanding debt may
