TIE helpless condition Of disfran-

an editorial In the current number
OF the Washington Civitan Radio, re-
senting the suggestion Of Maryland
that the District place a a 2-cent tax

Admitting that there is logic in
the States position that many Of her
citizens are evading the 2-cent i'm
position now in vogue there by pur-
chasing gas in the District, the Ia,
dio notes that "there are more things
In our tax situation than Maryland
has ever dreamed OF"
"As taxpayers who have no rep
resentation." It is set forth. '' we re.
sent the idea of the authorities OF q
State attempting to add to our tax
burden on the probable theory that

are helpless"
The Radio doubts that any taxes
thus derived would be applied to
streets and roads Of Washington and
environs, recalling the cold Congress
