STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting and Council 10 A. M,
Gov. Baxter Says
Prison Loan Is
Not Needed Now

A State House correspondent call
ed upon Governor Baxter and asked
when the 100000 temporary loan
authorized for the rebuilding of the
state prison was to be issued. Gov
ernor Baxter said:
In the fall OF the year the bills
for highway construction and for
other state activities are unusually
heavy. Just at this time also work is
going on on large scale in rebuild
ing the state prison. 1 wanted to be
sure to have funds enough on hand
to make prompt payments and the
council authorized the loan of $780,
600 for the state prison work.
1.-THE loan will not be negotiated at
present, but if the emergency war
rants it can be arranged for on short
notice. There is money enough in
the State Treasury at present to take
care of all tine obligations in sight,
and although there are no large
amounts coming into the treasury
during November several large items
are due in December.
1.-THE credit of the state is in eX-
ccllent condition and bankers are
eager to purchase the states obliga-
tons, but the authority for the loan
will not be exercised until it is
needed"

Reciprocity in Prospect.

Motor reciprocity between the Dis.

Every motorist in the District will
pray for the successful outcome of
this effort.
1t has always seemed absurd that
Maryland and the District should
alone of all the jurisdictions in the
United States have failed to provide
for mutual recognition of license tags
and have exacted fees Of visiting mo.
torists. 1t is needless now to go into the
reasons for this situation or to trace
the efforts in recent years to bring
about a reciprocal relationship. Now
1t is proposed that to match the state
gasoline tax, the proceeds Of which in
Maryland are to go to liquidation
Of the good roads debt and to the
maintenance Of the highways Of the
state, a similar tax shall be levied in
the District. If that is done it is un.
derstood Maryland will consent to

and the District to full recognition
Of Maryland licenses, with result
that the motorists Of each jurisdiction

British Liquor Treaty.

Dispatches from London report
Lord Curzon as moving warily in the
negotiation Of the treaty with the
United States which will enable us
to fight liquor smuggling by extending
the right Of search and seizure to a
greater distance at sea than the three.
mile limit. He is said to be apprehen-
sive that the Supreme Court may in
validate the section which gives Great
Britain her quid pro quo in the agree
ment, the right of British ships to
bring liquor to our shores, under seal
while in United States waters, for use
on the homeward voyage
Secretary Hughes is said to hold
that there is little ground for fear
that the Supreme Court will do any
such thing, although he does not
amplify his reasons for his belief. The
United States Supreme Court, strictly
and rigidly constituting the Volstead
act. ruled that liquors could not be
brought in under seal or any other
way. This decision has created fric.
ton between the United States gov
ernment and foreign nations, some of
whom have laws requiring the is
suance of wine rations to their crews
The exercise of forbearance and good
nature has prevented the issue be.
coming acute thus far.
The present negotiations were en-.
tered into by this government on the
theory that a treaty would supersede
the section of the Volstead act deal.
ing with this subject, and the knotty
problem could be united in this way.
Lord CurZon may be justified in taxi
ing all precautions that Britain may
rot be placed in the possible position
of giving something for nothing, but
1t is to be hoped that the negotiations
will not fail.
We need that twelve-mile- search
privilege for the protection Of the
morals and the health of the nation.
Lord Curzon would be justified in
taking a chance" that the Supreme
Court would not Illustrate the carry
ing out Of the treaty by the United
States. Or exercise of the search
privilege might be conditioned on con.
tinuance Of license to British ships to
bring in liquor under seal.

even as District motorists can travel
freely into Virginia and vice versa.
Maryland's reason for requiring that
a District gasoline tax should be inn
posed in the District is that otherwise
the Districts supply will be available
to Maryland motorists at lower rates
than prevail in that state. With a
be no reason for such r-the.bound.
ary dealings.
AS the case now stands it will be
necessary for the Commissioners, who
are deeply interested in this matter.
to secure from Congress law i'm
posing a tax Of Q cents gallon on
gasoline in the District Of Columbia.
The hope is that such a law may be
enacted before the 1st of January, the
opening of new license year. But it
is proposed to proclaim a moratorium
or truce for sixty days, that will allow
two months for enactment of the law,
pending which reciprocal license
recognition will be granted.
The motorists of the District should
have as free access to Maryland as to
Virginia, without being put to the
annoyance and trouble and delay of
obtaining licenses from the state. The
way now seems open to this end, and
the hope is that through the neces.
sary legislation there will soon be
complete reciprocal relationship.
