Reciprocity for Motorists

but we don It care much about paying
a tax on gasoline merely to guar
antee Maryland's road tax money.
We've contributed enough in the
last ten years to build and maintain
about one-fourth of your LOO miles
Of excellent roads. We're glad
you have the good roads, but we re
tired Of paying for them.
If you want some real reciprocity
we might propose this: Every Mary
land resident who enters the District
in an auto must pay tax equal to
that which he pays in Maryland.
That would raise several hundred
thousands of dollars for us, and
would offset some Of the inequity.
And then let every District resident
pay for his Maryland tag just what
he pays for his District tag.
Wouldn't that be nice, gentlemeni
You see, under that arrangement,
the District would get four times it's
$61, 900 annual income from you, and
our residents would pay about $685.
GOO for their Maryland tags, instead
Of about a half-million dollars.

Plain Hold-ups by Ash
And Garbage Collectors
BY BILL PRICE.

~
Bitter complaints come from responsible Washington
citizens-men and women-about the tributes they
think they compelled to pay to ash and garbage col
ectors to make of the removal Of refuse from their
homes and apartments
An inquiry to the facts leaves doubt that this
supposedly compulsory tipping is widespread and that
District authorities will have to take drastic measures
to break it up. The public is entitled to prompt and
satisfactory service in the removal Of ashes and gar
bage without feeling that is necessary to tip the col
ectors to get that service.
The health regulations of the District are quite strict
in compelling the householder to gather up refuse
there is failure to do this the householder is subjected
to penalties. When those who eagerly comply with the
law find that they encounter difficulties in having the
refuse taken up, after it is properly arranged and
placed where required, there is naturally irritation
and bitterness &4.
The victims of most of these diplomatic hold-ups
appear to be who have strong armed deter
mined around to take the steps essential to prompt
service, and the Street Cleaning Department finds it
difficult to trace the perpetrators when the victims fail
to write or telephone the department.
The Superintendent of Street Cleaning makes special
request that aouseholders notify that department every
time there is failure to collect ashes garbage at the
proper time and whenever they believe they have been
compelled to give tips to get service The department
has just three inspectors for the entire city, and whom
ever investigations have shown Compulsory tipping
the collectors have been discharged suspended and
in some instances forced to return the tips.
The law is violated whenever tip is given
cepted The clipper could be prosecuted as easily as

There are large numbers of people who voluntarily
offer tips and become offended at any suggestion that
they forbidden to give away their money, if they
desire It is this class which is responsible for the
widespread complaints. They set precedents that
plague others who may not be well off financially.
The present complaints not based upon Christ
gifts to the collectors but the charge is made and
cannot be effectually denied that "hodups" are Of
year-round occurrence.

BugabOOs

n HERE is an agreeable signif-
canoe in the fact that Ameri-
can audiences have returned to
their sanity and are enjoying with
their old discrimination and taste
the great German operas at the
metropolitan Opera House in New
York. It is an Austrian artist who
has won their greatest appreciation.
While the effect of the war anaes-
thetics given by propaganda to the
American mind has now pretty well
worn off, it still fingers among the
politicians in Washington, or at least
those who are seeking special priv
leges at the hands of Congress still
think that the politicians in our ma
tional Government are under the old
influence.
One group of these interests is
seeking to establish a monopoly in
the unexposed films on which NOV
ing pictures are made by increasing
the duties on them. The excuse for
this attempt is the alleged fear of
German competition when there is
no real German competition. The
competition is Belgian and Swiss.
Senator Penrose, chairman of the
Finance Committee of the Senate,
showed that he had at least awaken
ed, if indeed he ever was put to
sleep, by the propaganda that Ger
many was monster against which
the world must always be in a per-
petual state of vigilance and prepa
ration.
When an attorney was describing
the terrors of threatened German
competition to the Finance Commit
tee, Penrose growled out at him:
"Mr. Choate, I am getting tired of
these lurid pictures of German ter
rors. They roll off me like water
off a ducks back. They are too
much like nursery bugaboos.

4 LTHOUGH the proposal Of
~ Maryland officials that tan

of l cent gallon be levied on
all gasoline sold in Maryland and
the District of Columbia is not rea-
sonable, it is hopeful that our Mary
land friends are thinking about
eliminating the double license tags
for Maryland and District automo-
biles.
Nowhere else in the United States
is it necessary to obtain auto licenses
in two States. Stubbornness of
Maryland officials, greedy to collect
the heavy fees exacted from District
residents, has prevented reciprocity
between these contiguous territories.
The lack of equity in the present
condition is shown by a few figures.
In order to drive a car over the
State line into Maryland, District
auto owner must obtain Maryland
license, as we'll as own a District
license. His District license costs,
on an average, little more than "a.
His Maryland license costs, on an
average, just little less than 500.
District owners contributed in
1920 more than $4,000 in license
fees to Maryland. The total collec-
ton from the entire State of Mary
land was about two millions-in
other words, Washington paid one
fourth of Maryland's auto tax. The
city of Baltimore received and spent
100000 for road work in the year.
Of this, the District of Columbia
contributed, through auto tax, about
one-fourth, or 100000.
Washington spent ON it's own
streets in that year approximately
$4,000 of the money collected from
people here. Washington con-
tributed to the upkeep of Baltimore
streets just $4,000 less than it con-
tributed to the upkeep of its own.
Should Washington be taxed to
pay two-thirds the cost of main
tanning Baltimore streetsi Do
Washington vehicles use the streets
in that proportioni And do not
Baltimore autos use our streetsi
Marylanders have charged that
District autos tear up the Maryland
roads. The American Automobile
Association, a disinterested body,
finds that on the roads from Balti-
more to Washington 66 per cent of
all the traffic originates in Mary
land, and that more than 80 per cent
Of the truck traffic-admittedly the
most damaging to roads-originates
in Maryland.
And still Washington gets stung
for $40 license tag each year in
Maryland, and let's the Marylander
have District tag for less than SIS.
Maryland officials admit that this
is not equity, but they want to hang
on to that money somehow. So
they propose that a tax be levied on
gasoline in Maryland and the Dis
trict, to bring the revenues up to
point making possible the dropping
of the double license system.
Now, Mr.. Maryland gentlemen,
you go ahead and levy your taxes in
Maryland, and let us levy what we
want here. We appreciate your de-
sire to drop the double tag disgrace,

Your Girl and the Coming Years,

Girls are great idealists. No one
familiar with the working of the
eirl mind can fail to recognize how
quickly they respond to deals. They
dream dreams, NOS success, but of
Happiness. They look up rather
than out.
But they are vague and uncertain,
full of wistfnl warnings that lead
nowhere. Given cause and a lead
er, they will bring to ct an almost
pathetic eagerness. staunchness
loyalty, enthusiasm and unselfish
effort.
There comes a critical time in the
young girls mental and spiritual
life, when she is waiting impatiently
for young womanhood. The things
OF her childhood have lost their
interest. She has abandoned her
lolls the little boys she played with
nave deserted her and found the
girl-less associations of the teens
They have their sports, their clubs
and their meeting places. But to
he young girl there is seemingly
nothing but that period of waiting.
She is peculiarly isolated Her family
often think her queer and find her
strange. She is often moody and
Dreamy and begging to spend an
alarming amount of time and
thought upon her appearance. The
family ask What In the world is
the matter with Mary?" And her
lither and mother suggest that it is
too much going to the movies. But
he truth Is that Mary is idle, she
oea moi belong between babyhood
Ea womanhNod anywhere in the
3oefal organization, She is active and
romatlc. She haunts the movies be-
'auae she finds there vlcarious
romance and vicarious adventure.
the great outdoor is hers to play in,
on the screen.
And at the same time no increas-
ed outlet for her activities. her
imagination is being stimulated as
never before. Books, magazines
automobiles, moving pictures, all are
revealing to her this strange thing
we call life, which is hers to observe
but not vet to live. She is a yearning
onlooker
They need to be taught certain
loyalties, sex loyalty. Loyalty to
ideals and loyalty to country. When
man learns to take off his hat to
the flag he has a new respect for it.

Some of our girls need to be
taught honesty. They cover th-r
dreams with small deceits. They seek
romance out of sheer boredom, and
are driven into hypocrisy. The boy
has fewer Creams to conceal, and he
is honest with the honesty OF fresh
air and the great outdoors. We give
orr girls occupation, when we get
them out Of doors, when we give
them organized play in the open.
Give them something to do Lat
interests them. Get them out into
tho air. Fill in the waiting years
with work and play Give them some
rules of life which will appeal alike
to their Imagination and to their
instructive desire for something
better. Let them look out as we'll as
up The out door organizations for
the young girl are sane, healthy and
