GASOLINE TAX PACT
ASSURED Of ACTION
Senators Await Commission
erS' Bill on D. C.-MaryIand
- Auto Reciprocity.
TO OBVIATE LICENSES
Committee Members Anxious to
Dispose of Question at Present
Congress Session.
TO OBVIATE LICENSES

Members of the Senate interested in
bringing about reciprocity in the mat
ter of automobile licenses between
tho District of Columbia and Mary
land, are awaiting the draft of bill
by the District Commissioners pro-
viding a tax on gasoline in the Dis
trict. 1t was promised by Maryland
officials before the Senate appropria-
tions committee last week that the
establishment of such a tax would
result in complete reciprocity be-
tween that state and the District.
In the hearings on the agricultural
appropriation bill last week, when
the question of reciprocal arrange
ments regarding automobile licenses
was being discussed, Senator Jones of
Washington, member of the appropri-
ations committee, and also of the DIS
trict committee, said:
THE Commissioners will have to get
this bill in shape, and if they VIII
send it up here we will act on IL
Maryland Fixes Two-Cent Rate.
Early in the hearing John y.
Mackall, chairman of the Maryland
state roads commission, told the COM
y
grant full reciprocity with the Dis
trict if a gasoline tax of cents
gallon is established here. He said
that reciprocity would be in effect
sufficiently long before January /,
1924, to make ii unnecessary for
residents of the District TO purchase
Maryland licenses for the year 1924.
two two-cent tax on gasoline goes into
effect in Maryland January /. 1924.
Questioned by Senator McNary as
TO what steps have been taken to
bring about an agreement with the
District officials. Mr.. Mackal replied:
We have made this proposal to
Commissioners Rudolph Keller and
Oyster, and they have all accepted 1t
insofar as IL can be done-that they
will present TO Congress and use
tax on gasoline If that is done, un-
limited reciprocal relations will be
granted with the District
Curry Amendment Dropped.
1t was upon this showing that the
committee agreed to drop the So
called Curry amendment to the agri-
cultural bill which would have denied
20 any state federal appropriations
for good roads when that state re-
fused to recognize automobile licenses
Of any other state or territory or the
District of Columbia.
The members of the committee are
intent upon bringing about reciprocity
between Maryland and the District.
They are anxious to get the matter
cleared up. 1t was made clear at the
hearings that they were favorably
impressed with the idea Of a gaso-
line tax to take the place of the
license tax.
With less than two months Of the
present Congress remaining, how
ever, they are desirous of getting the
legislation under way if there is to
be legislation.

maintain an attitude Of complete
friendliness toward all the allies
Troops on Rhine.
If it appears that withdrawal OF
Mai. Gen. Aliens command at TINS
time would be interpreted in France
as an expression of disapprovai of
the action of the French government
= seems very unlikely that the ad-
ministration will order return OF the
force to the United States.
II can he said that up to the mo-
nent of the Franco British rupture
on repara tions plans at PARIS, the
purposes of the Washington govern
ment in keeping American troops
on the Rhine had little to do with the
reparations question. Any change in
status which the breaking up of the
council of premiers might have
caused has not received official at
tentfon in any way that would tndi-
cate that the matter is considered inn
nortant On the contrary, there is
official warrant for the statement
that withdrawal of the troops as a
reuly to the French determination to
proceed with reparations collection
never has been discussed by the ad-
ministration.
.ment of French forces into Germany
through the Coblenz zone will create
any difficulties for Gen. Allen or for
the American government. 1t is point
ed out that orders which confined
French detachments under Gen. AL
Ien's command in Coblenz to their
barracks, in order to prevent clashes
with the German population, did not
originate with Gen Allen himself, but
were merely a precautionary step on
the part of the French military au-
tborities. That Gen. Allen approved
the course goes without saying.
II seems not improbable that with
French forces moving into Germany
via Coblenz the presence of French
troops on the streets in that neigh
borhood and mingling with the Ger
man civil population would result in
minor disorders. To relieve Gen. AL
len of whatever embarrassment he
might have in maintaining order the
French military authorities are said
To have suggested that the French
garrison forces remain in their bar
racks.

had left his country to participate
in a mission Of this nature.
1t indicated clearly to his mind a
realization of the magnitude of a
negotiation or transaction, not merely
of the utmost Importance in itself,
but bearing with it possible conse-
quences so farreaching that they
could hardly be computed.
Americans Also Anxious.
He begged to assure the distin-
guished visitors that the United
States commission, Of which he had
the honor of being the chairman, was
no less sensible than themselves of
the extreme desirability, amounting
TO a virtual necessity, OF effecting a
dehnlte settlement of the financial
relationship of the two countries
upon basis entirely just to both.
Tne purpose of the conference and
the conditions bearing upon them were
so well understood that he saw no
necessity of stating them in detail.
He wished at the moment only to
say that the prompt payment by
Great Britain of 800, 100000 of inter-
est during the past three months,
pending a definite arrangement, was
to his mind conclusive proof of the
right spirit of financial integrity
which he was proud and glad to say
had always animated both of the two
great English speaking nations.
The chairman also called attention
to the fact that the commission had
limited authority under the appli-
cable statute.
Prepares Further Data.
Following the meeting 1t was stated
that the British mission has in course
of preparation further data with ref
erence to the general statement sub
mitted.

outside of the District for these white
girls. He said that the appropriations
committee lacks authority 10 make
such an appropriation, and that the
matter should be taken up by the
House committee having Jurisdiction
over District legislation.
chairman Cramton said that his
committee has allowed the same
amount in this bill as the current an
preparation. He said that he hoped

IN regard to this particular project
Chairman Cramton in his report said:
About one-third of the total re-
auctions ($199,950) for charities and
corrections is attributable to failure
to provide for an additional home for
delinquent girls. The committee is
impressed with the needs for improv9
ing conditions at the National Train
ing School for Girls, but is without
the institution beyond its present
confines"

son, also of Minnesota, paid a tribute

superintendent of that institution for
the last six months, coming here from

Representative Cramton said: 1--WE
are making appropriations on a busi-
ness basis. and not because some one
is nice lady" He said that when
Mrs. Morse came before the commit
tee she could give mo information as
to the business affairs of that insti-
tuition" and so the committee thought
that the current appropriation was
sufficient to intrust to her charge.
BIanton for Segregation.
Representative Blanton of Texas, in
vigorous speech, said he wanted the
white and colored inmates segregated.
He charged that the District bill was
drawn by great triumvirate." He
accused them of passing the buck"
of "camouf1age," of Throwing up
smoke screens" but of including new
legislation in an appropriation bill
when they wanted to. Representative
Blanton said: 81 am in favor of sepa-
rating the whites and blacks If it
costs all the money this House could
holds
Representative Cramton replied
that Mr.. Blanton seemed to favor new
legislation for building a home for
wayward children today, while on
Saturday he had stricken from the
bill number of provisions which
would provide schools for boys and
girls who are not wayward.
On a viye Voce vote the Newton
amendment was adopted.
