Evidence gathered by the police

Justice against George Z. Long, al

been promised immunity from prose
cution II he confessed to the writing
of the death threat letters.
II also IL stated that the women
who received the letters do not feel
Long to be criminally inclined, but

To FORCE
MERGERDRAWN
BY COMMISSION
Drastic Tax Proposal Designed
To Equalize Earnings Put
Up to Senate.

A new and drastic tax proposal.
aimed to force a traction merger,
has been placed before Congress
by the District Commissioners.
In communication to Senator
Ball, chairman of the Senate DIS
trict Committee, the Commission
ers outline a plan which will equal
ice the earning power OF the TWO
companies and make a merger or
traction facilities in Washington in
cvitable.
The original proposal Of the Com.
nlissioners was to place a flat %
per cent tax on all operating rev.
enues of the Capital Traction and
the Washington Railway and Eiec-
trio Company in excess OF per
cent on their fair value.
The new proposal Is to place a
so per cent tax, on all operating
revenues Of the companies, rang.
ing between and per cent OF
the fair value, and to place q
rs per cent tax on all revenues IN
excess of per cent. ..
Under the new plan the differ
ence between the earnings OF the
two companies will be reduced to
1.1S per cent. according to Engineer
Commissioner Keller. The Capital
Traction Company, on the basis OF
its 1921 earnings. would be given
a return of 7.s per cent on Its fair
value of $l5,134.221, while the
Washington Railway Company
would obtain a 6.67 per cent.
Under the original tax proposal OF
the Commissioners the Capital Trac.
tion Company would have received
an annual return Of s.72 per cent on
fair value, while the washington
Railway would have received 6.S5
per cent. There would have still re-
mained a difference of nearly per
cent in the return for the two COM
panies.
The actual increase in the taxes
to be imposed upon the two COM
panies is estimated by the District
commissioners on the basis of their
1921 earnings to be s412,s76 over the
present taxes. Under the original
plan the increase would only have
been $177.314.
The operating income of the
Capital Traction Company In 1921
was S1,s24,468, and under the new
plan the corporation would have to
nav the city s695,ss9 In taxes. leav-
ing to the stockholders s1,22S,4 97,
or a return Of rs per cent.
The operating income Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company in 1921 was s1,326,101, and
under the new tax plan there would
be levied against the company
$175,s47, leaving s1,150,254 for the
stockholders, or a return of 6.e7 per
cent on it's fair value Of s17,2Ss, 400.
The total taxes to be imposed
against both companies under the
plan would be 1871 1886. as compared
with their present taxes Of s45s,ss1.
There is a difference in the tax re.
turn to the city between the first
and new plan of $685., 900.
II Is believed that the graduated.
tax proposal now favored by the
District Commissioners will 60 Ear
toward removing all the objections
advanced to the original plan. II
will be introduced in the Senate i'm.
mediately by Senator Ball as an
amendment to the first proposal arid
will be taken up for considerations
at the meeting OF the District Con
mittee tomorrow.
