U.S.. BUSINESS men
BEHIND TAX BILL
Send Delegates Here to Push
RalstOn-Nolan Measure.
Hard Campaign On.

Aiming at the conduct of a yigor-
Gus campaign for the passage of
the RaIston- Nolan tax bill. the Com
mittee Of Manufacturers and Mer-
chants on Taxation. representing,
%. 900 business firms of the nation,
has opened a branch ONCE here un-
der the direction of Frederick r.
Ingram. wealthy drug manufacturer
of Detroit.
The Ralston-Nolan bill, introduced
at the last session of Congress, pro-
poses to reduce the present Federal
tax burden on business enterprises
by 25 per cent through substitution
of a per cent tax on land holders
owning property valued at more
than $4,000. 1t is estimated that
a per cent tax on land values will
raise a yearly revenue Of approx
mately $1,000. .00O.00O and relieve
taxes on industry to that extent.
Sensible business men are begin
ming to realize" said Walter w.
Ligget, in charge of the Washing
ton office pending Ingram's arrival
next week, that a sales tax or ex-
cessively high tariff duties Will be
fully as injurious to industry as
the income and excess profits taxes,
of which they now complain. Indus
trial values and land values in the
United States each approximate
about $40. 900. 600, 900. but industry
pays about $4,000. .000. 900 in taxation,
whereas land values only pay about
$500, 200, 900. The Ralston-Nolan bill
tends to equalize this allotment"

Tuesday.

District Commissioners James F.

tric Company on the proposed mers-

an agreement before going to Con-
gress for legislation.
Representatives of the traction
companies and the District Com
misioners outlined tentative steps

Indications of a continued. en-

Automobile Association against the

out-of-town motorists to register
with the police after three days in
the city. were in no way uncertain
at the association headquarters yes
terday.
An A. A. A. committee conference
with Commissioner Oyster is ex-

the Objectionable features of the
regulation.
That the regulation is ridiculous
would appear to be the belief OF

executive board of the association.
Washington today is the only
American city which imposes upon
the visiting motorist the necessity
for a supplemental registration II
he remains beyond a three-day pc
Rod" said Batchelder yesterday.
Such a regulation implies that the
visitor is a potential criminal whose

that he can be ferreted out IL at

anticipated crime he evades arrest
