Measure Raises Question Of
Legality OF Advance to
Present Rate.

A new Scent trolley fare bill
for Washington = providing also
for an investigation of the Public
Utilities COMMISSIONERS been
prepared by Senator Kenneth Nc
Kellar Of Tennessee.
Question Legality OF Fare.
The measure contains a preamble
reciting the fact that, in the opin-
ION Of many lawyers, the Public
Utilities Commission acted beyond
its jurisdiction in permitting the
Capital Traction Company and the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company to abrogate their contract
agreement with the city to maintain
q scent fare on their lines.
It then provides for an investi-
cation of the various acts and
policies OF the Public Utilities Com
mission and its assumption of power
70 set aside contract agreements In
fixing utility rates in Washington.
Following comes a stipulation that
the local traction companies must
city without further delay.
A1cheIlar 10 Rush Bill.
Senator Mcclellan intends to In
troduce his bin as soon as Congress
conYenes and viii press II yigor-
ously. e he cannot obtain action
upon It from the Senate District
Committee he win try the expedient
Of attaching II as a rider to
other District bills that are to come
up. In this way it is possible that
another blockade of District legis-
lation may develop in Congress at
an early date in the session be-
cause there viii be plenty Of oppo-
eition on the floor to Senator Nc
Kellar's proposition.
Senator Ball, chairman OF the
Senate District Committee. is strong
~ opposed to the Mcclellan bill.
because he does not think the local
street railways companies could
revert to a scent fare without 60
ing into bankruptcy: Senator Nc
Kinley Of Illinois. former traction
magnate. also is conspicuously OPP
passed. Whether Senator Mcclellan
will resort to the drastic expedient
Of holding up all District legisla-
ton, If ne fails to obtain a vote
upon his bill, remains yet to be de-
termned.
Ball Firm in Opposition.
Senator Ball, chairman of the
Senate District COMMITTEES, today
reiterated his opposition to the Nc
Kellar scent fare proposition. He
has been gathering data relating to
street railway operations in diff
ferent cities, including Detroit.
Senator Ball said the competition
Of the bus lines had developed to
such an extent that he believed
they should be taxed on the same
basis as the traction companies. He
declared that any merger Of the
traction companies should include
the buses.

Suggested Temporary Truce
Mould Save. Purchase Of
1924 Tags. B

Temporary automobile reci-
procity between Maryland and

letter to Gov. Albert c. Richie.
of Maryland, asking that District
motorists be allowed to 60 into
Maryland for two months using
1924 District license tags only.
To Cite Gas Tax Bill.
Garages win point out in the letter
that a 2-cent gasoline tax bill win be
introduced into Congress as soon

Maryland has in force gasoline
tax bin which provides for reciprOc-
ity with the District as soon as
Congress passes a gas tax bill AZ
fecting Washington.
Both the District and Maryland
would benefit materially by the
temporary arrangement. Maryland
autOists, who comprise 20 per cent
of the tag buyers in the District,

would save considerable money.
If, after two months, Congress
fails to pass the gasoline tax here,
the reciprocity agreement would
cease. according to the Commissions

2-cent gas tax on every gallon or
