LICENSE AGREEMENT.
ON AUTOS FAVORED.
Commissioners laud Efforts
Of Representative Curry
For Reciprocity.
MARYLAND OPPOSES MOVE
Delegation In Congress Ready
For Battle On Provision In
Agricultural Bill.

Efforts Of Representative Charles
F. Curry. Of California, to effect
reciprocity between all States of
the Union and the District Of Co
lumbia in automobile licenses was
praised yesterday by the District
Commissioners.
The Commissioners have been
trying for several years to reach an
agreement with Maryland and the
move of Representative Curry for
direct action through an amend.
ment to be proposed to the pending
agriculture appropriation bill was
welcomed by District officials.
OYSTER FAVORS MOVE.
Commissioner Oyster declared that
he has been pushing the movement
for the past ten years. He said
that he first became interested
! when the Chamber of Commerce had
it under consideration and since
assuming the office of Commits
sioner he has again urged reci-
procity.
Both Commissioners Rudolph and
Keller also expressed the hope that
Representative Curry's efforts would
be successful. Representative Cur
ry believes that reciprocity can be
brought about through an amend
ment to the section appropriating
money for State aid in road con
struction. The proposed amend.
ment would provide that no allot-
ment should be made from the
Federal road rund to any State
which did not recognize motor IL
censes Of all other States and the
District of Columbia.
OPPOSED BY MARYLAND.
That the plan will not be rail-
roaded through Congress was indi-
Gated yesterday when members of
the Maryland delegation in Con.
gress declared that any amendment
| such as the one proposed by Repre-.
sentative Curry would be fought.
Representative J. Philip Hill, OF
Maryland. commenting on the pro
posal, said: No such amendment
! has been offered in the House.
Under the rules, IL such an amend.
ment should be made by the Sen.
ate l will have the right to have

talking with some of my colleagues
am certain that there is no chance
for the passage Of any amendment
which would force reciprocity upon

rived from District automobiles and

Maryland representatives. how
ever. estimated yesterday that this

than last year. and that even II
the difference between the tax on
the difference ebtween the tax or
District cars and the share of the

to cause her to forego taxing Dis
