GLOOMY PROSPECTS
FOR D. c. TAXATION

Prospects of an agreement for a
permanent taxation system In the
District of Columbia are rather pes
simistic at the present time. Mem
bers of the Senate and House, who
are comforting on the subject are
not hopeful of reaching an agree
ment.
The Senate committee dealing with
the fiscal relations Iof the Federal
Government of the District OF Co
lumbia comprises Senator Jones of
Washington. Dillingham;, and King.
and the House committee consists
of Congressman Mapes, Focht, and
johnson, of Kentucky or these all
but Congressman Focht were pres
ent at the conference today.
II Is uncertain when the con-
ferees will get together again. The
call for further conferences will be
made by Senator Dillingham; and
Congressman Mapes. A
! In the meantime the conferees on
the District appropriation bill are
meeting. and Il is anticipated that
an agreement will be reached on the
basis OF the G0-4o plan, favored by
the House. The Senate conferees are
Senator Curtis, Phipps and Smith, OF
Maryland, and the House conferees
are Congressman Davis. Of Minnesota,
Cranton and Davis.
Until a permanent taxation bill Ia
passed by Congress relating to the
District of Columbia Il will lbe neces-
sary to provide tax legislation from
year to year in the District bills.
The uncertainty surrounding this
practice of thus providing for the
District revenues have caused much
dissatisfaction both In Congress and
in the business circles Of Washing
ton. II ls hoped that In the coming
special session OF Congress- some
means will be found for stabilizlng
taxation In the city through perma-
nent legislation. which will supplant
the organic act of 1879.

There have not yet been any open
campaigns on the part Of candidates
for the various positions. but friends
OF Robert I. Miller. one OF the fore
most of thu "original Harding men,"
and Edward r. ColIaday are mention
ing them for United States Attorney.
Mr.. Miller is understood to have the
best chance for the. appointment as
President elect has several times In
dicated an earnest desire to reward
Mr.. Miller for the great work he did
during the preconvention days, when
most OF the now prominent" Re-
publicans were hustling for other
candidates.
John r. Major, confidential score
tary to Edward B. Mclean. who is one
of the President-elect's most intimate
friends, will be the next United States
Marshal of the District IL he so de-
sires. There are a number of other
local men close to the next adminis-
tration who have their eyes on that
particular piece of pie, but Mr.. Major
is within closest reach OF IL and can
have II by grabbing IT. at
There are scores of submerged can
didacies for the various positions,
among them booms for would-be Dis
trict Commissioners, but it Is quite
generally believed that President
elect Harding will be slow to alter
the present situation.

FEDERAL UNION OUT
AFTER 'S0REHEADS'
Chiefs to Keep One Ear Closed
When Employees Kick About
Uncle Sam.

A $3.50 policy will be inaugurated
by the grievance committee Of Fed
erai Employees Union, Local No. 2, al
its monthly meeting Thursday even
ing, which will mean that aggrieved
employees must do their bit and meet
Uncle Sam. as their employer, half
way IL they expect any assistance.
Such a policy has been conceived by
w. J. Hendricks, chairman of the
cornmittee, II was learned today, and
is expected to meet with the approval
of all Government officials.
Hundreds of complaints from Gov
errment employees are being constant
ly. received by the unions grievance
committee. Such complaints range
Ali the way from alleged injustices in
promotions, to partiality in sick and
annual leave to practices OF political
pull"
While a number of such complaints
are found to be justified there are
others, Mr.. Hendricks has discovered
in which cases the employees are al
fault instead of their employer The
"chronic kicker" and the one who Ia
never satisfied are frequently In evil
dence, according to Mr.. Hendricks
who IL firm believer that 'lf the
enploye win conscientiously do his
or her part, Uncle Sam will do his.'
Many of the dissentions in the de-
partments with employees and chiefs
are held to frequently be the result
OF "sore-head edness," which friction
a. IL maintained. can easily be over
come by little bit of common sense
on the part OF both concerned.

Gasoline sold today In Washing
ton, and throughout the country is
very similar in average quality to
that sold a year ago and should be
fully as satisfactory when used In
motor cars. according to the scmi-
annual survey just completed by
the bureau. AS IN the two surveys
made in 1920. samples Of gasoline
were collected from cities through
out the country and analyzed in
the bureau Laboratories.
The best gasoline is being sold
in the Pittsburgh territory. and the
poorest In the Rocky Mountain

acter of the gasoline Is noted, which
shows that a larger proportion CT

Va. today that their sixtesns nsyear-
old daughter Margaret Bragunier
and her fifteen-year-old chum, Eliza
beth Shorey, missing since Friday,
had gone to New Orleans, to attend
the Mardi-Gras.
The couple had planned their de-
parture a week before, he said ana
had bought dothes accordingly. They
took jewelry along for additional
money, to be gotten through pawn
shops, and arranged to sail from
Baltimore Saturday evening. They
intended, he said. to land at Jack
sonville, and complete the journey
to New Orleans overland.
He, refused to say whether or not
they had been accompanied by boy
friends"
:, That his story is true is indicated,
according to Mr.. Watts, by the loca-
tion of his wife's diamond studded
watch, which Margaret took when
she left, and birthday ring, worn oy
the girl In a Baltimore pawn shop.
The two girls are believed to have
gone to Baltimore Friday afternoon,
spending the night in that city. and
to have sailed on a boat bound for
Jacksonville leaving Baltimore at o
o'clock Saturday evening. The police
of Jacksonville and New Orleans have
been asked to look out for the run
