Taxation upon basis OF spending,

The sales taxi advocated by the

Miss Patton told authorities she was
sitting on her porch about o'clock
when she noticed a man approach and
enter the house of her brother. Arthur
Patton, across the road. She called
to learn what the man wanted. where
upon he came across the road and
stepped up on her porch. He started
a conversation, but when Miss Patton
sought TO leave the porch the man
grabbed her. She fought to break his
hold and finally succeeded in jumping
from the porch and running down the
road. Her screams frightened him off
and attracted other villagers.
Sheriff Allison of Fairfax court

NEWMAN REVEALS
WEAK POINTS Of
TWO-FARES PLAN

CONTINUED from First PageJ
than the Washington Railway and
Electric
This is exactly what II CAN do, and
this fact is significantly demonstrated
by the experience OF both companies
under the existing Scent rate.
Under It the Capital Traction, dur.
ing the past year, made 1864 per cent
on its fair value. while the Washing
ton Railway and Electric made only
5.6 per cent.
Now. the proponents OF the differ
ent fare plan" put the case like this:
Under the law, which practically
guarantees each street railway a
reasonable return" the Public Utili.
ties Commission has fixed street car
fares at figure which is certain
to give the WASHINGTON RAIL
WAY AND ELECTRIC that return.
without regard to the fact that IT
gives the Capital Traction an UN-
REASONABLE return.
This, ii is commended, results in a
violation of the law so far as the
Capital Traction is concerned. be-
cause the legislators no more in.
'NhNNN AhoN NOIllpdhy Dt
given TOO MUCH than 1t intended
that IT should be given TOO LITTLE.
The result Of this arrangement. II
Ii argued, is that everybody who
rides on the Capital Traction pays
more than the company is entitled
to, In order to force those who ride
on the Washington Railway and
Electric TO pay what IL is entitled to.
The Capital Traction has appeared
before the commission and stated Of
ficially and formally that It is will
ing to take a REDUCTION in fares,
which, of course, lends strength to
the proponents OF the different fare
plan.
Favor People, Not Stockholders.
They contend that. faced with the
necessity of fixing a fare which will
either be TOO MUCH for the Capital
Traction or TOO LITTLE for the
Washington Railway and Electric,
the commission should resolve the
question In favor of the thousands
Traction instead OF in favor of the
comparatively few stockholders of
the Washington Railway and Elec,
trio.
II the fare on the Capital Trac.
ton were fixed on the basis of what
THAT company has to have, II Is
argued, the Washington Railway and
Electric would meet the reduction
and take it's losses.
There is no use trying to ignore
the very serious consequences which
would follow such action. IL the
Washington Railway and Electric
maintained a higher fare, everybody
who could quit It's lines and ride on
the Capital Traction lines would do
so, which would result in further
over-crowding of that system and
pronounced reduction in revenues OF
the Washington Railway and Elec.
trio. ...'.
Some people go so far as TO declare
Il would bankrupt the Washington
Railway and Electric---and any action
which might have such serious con-
sequences for the city should be most
carefully considered before applica-
ton.
On the other hand, proponents of the
different fare plan declare IL is more
unjust to penalize Capital Traction
patrons than Washington Railway 4
Electric stockholders. They say that
we actually have competition In much
OF the territory of the District, and
that, therefore. the rules OF competi,
ton ought TO apply. by which they

BILL TO BAN GIRLS
SMOKES IND. CTS
RAzzED ROYALTY
Cong. Johnson's Measure Re-
ceived in "Ten-Twent-
Thirt" Style at Hearing.

Rough shedding for the johnson Bill
prohibiting Washington women from
smoking in public was forecast today
at a stormy meeting of the House
District committee.
In a hearing bristling with more
ten.twenty-thirty vaudeville than has
been seen in the Capitol for many
months, Congressman Johnson. of
Mississippi, saw his measure "kidded"
and all. but laughed and ridiculed to
extinction before an audience Of
women who were sharply critical OF
any further sex legislation"
The keynote of the opposition TO
the bill was struck by Mrs. j. e.
Caffidy of this city, who said:
Men are now legislating about
everything pertaining to women. They
want to tell them how to wear their
bathing suits. what kind Of stockings
they shall wear, and how much rouge
they must put on their cheeks. Wom-
en- resent the idea that this sort of
thing can be regulated by law"
Congressman Blanton. of Texas,
suggested that maybe the men are
trying to get revenge on the women
for having taken liquor away from
them"
Mrs. Caffidy replied that there was
no sex discrimination in the eish-
teenth amendment.
Mrs. Z. M. Atwood, of the Wom-
ems Antique Law League, followed
Mrs. Caffidy on the stand. She said
she has never smoked in her life,
but admitted she liked a glass OF
beer once in a while" She said,
however. she had Loyalty observed
the prohibition law since it's enact
ment.
Congressman johnson made long
statement, on behalf of his bill, out
it was apparent the District commit
tee was against his proposal.
