Skeleton View of New Curtiss
Pursuit Plane, Showing Metal
Construction.

The test performance Of . new
Curtiss Pursuit Plane has caused q
sensation in the Army and Navy SER
vices. Ever since the Pulitzer Race
ut Detroit, in which new all-Ameri-
can motor finished in the first four
places, it has been expected that
military planes Of super-type would
make their appearance at almost any
time. The actual performance of the
first pursuit shin Of a series surpasses
expectation.
In many respects, this aeroplane is
. departure from precedent. It uses
the same Curtiss motor used in the
racing ships at Detroit. It is equipped
with wing radiators, the most radical
advance in the art Of cooling q motor
since 1917, and which reduces the
resistance Of the air almost to zero.
These features were expected. The
construction, however, is said to pos
sess, also, new feature, in that the
entire machine can be stored for q
period Of twenty years, If necessary,

AUTO LICENSE BIG REVENUE
PRODUCER.
Tax On Gasoline will Be Two Cent
On The Gallon.

Tax On Gasoline Will Be Two Cent
On The Gallon.
This year will be the last in
which the Office of the Autcmobil
Commissioner will be seen as the
biggest single reyenue-producing de-
partment of the State. In 1925
this department produced about 81,
100000 from the registration fe
of automobiles. On the basis o.
these figures it should collect asou
$3,000,00O in 1928, most of whic
will be received prior to January Is.
After that receipts of the office wi!
be nominal in comparison with wha
they have been. 1t is not expected
that the receipts ever will exceed
$1,000, 900 again.
The reason for this is the tax O,
gasoline. Beginning January
1924, this tax will constitute the
bulk of the charge to automobilists
for the use of the State roads. The
tax has been in effect since June 1.
but 1t has been at the rate of 1 cent
gallon and has been for the pur-
pose Of providing for the deficit In
the construction funds of the State
Roads Commission.
John N. Mackall, chairman of
the State Roads Commission, who
worked out the gas tax and was in
strumental in securing its passage
through the Legislature, said the ]
cent tax had worked out almost ex-
actly as anticipated. 1t has aver
aged 100000 month for the six
months the tax has been in opera
ton and is expected to average $685..
600 month for the Is months tc
January /, 1924. II it does, the
maintenance deficit will be wiped
out.
On January 1, when the 2-cent tax
on gasoline goes into effect, it is ex-
pected to produce a revenue of at
least $l.5O0,OO0 a year. Then the
registration fees of Automobiles
will be reduced. The new charge is
expected to be about one-third of
the old registration fees, or about
20 cents per horsepower.
Adoption Of the gas tax by Mary
land and the District of Columbia
automatically will solve all recip.
rocity troubles that have been agita-
ting motorists for years.
A bill is already before Congress
providing for the adoption of the
gas tax in the District beginning
with 1924. When this is passed NO
Washington license tag will be re-
qnired for Maryland machines and
no Maryland tags for Washington
machines.

STATE TAX REVISION.
Commission viii Make Recommen-
dations After Thorough Inves-

81 tigation.
! The Tax Revision Commission APP
pointed by Governor Richie. under
the provisions of Chapter 427 Of the
Acts of the General Assembly of
1922. has held its first meeting. The
members of the Commission are
Francis King Carey. William H.
Maltbie, j. Augustine Mason, Frank
Novak and George C. Smith.
Mr.. Carey and Mr.. Maltbie are
members Of the Baltimore Bar; Mr..
Mason is prominent lawyer of
Hagerstown; Mr.. Novak is a we'll
known Baltimore builder, and Mr..
Smith is the Director of the Indus
trial Bureau of the Board of Trade
OF Baltimore. All of the members
of the Commission are requested by
the Act to serve without pay. Mr..
Carey was chosen Chairman of the
Commission. Mr.. Maltbie, Vice
Chairman, and e. L. Burke, Secre-
tary.
BY the terms Of the Act under
which it was appointed the Commits
sion is requested to investigate the
systems OF State, County and Munic-
ipal taxation In force in Maryland
and to inquire into their practical
operations and effect in the raising
of adequate revenue The Commits
sion is instructed to inquire int the
systems of State, County and Mu-
nicipal taxation in force in other
States and to ascertain their prac-
tical operation and effect, and is in
structed to make a printed report
to. the Governor by December /,
1928, for his use and for transmits
sion by him to the General Assembly
of 1924 which report is to contain
"a draft OF, the general system. Of
law providing for the imposition and
collection of revenue, taxes and
charges in the State of Maryland. ."
Governor Richie has asked the
Tax Revision Committee to perform
a very difficult and responsible piece
of work." states Mr.. Carey.
Whether our Commission recon-
mends to Governor Richie, as the
result Of our study. any radical
changes in the present tax laws or
not, think the entire Bar of the
State and all of the taxing author
tiles will agree,with us in thinking
hat the existing laws can at least
be put in a more orderly and intel
igible form without the exercise of
any high ability in Statute writing;
and,eyen II we find it unnecessary or
undesirable to recommend any rad
ical changes in the taxing system of
Maryland, think we may be able to
render a real service to the public
by recodifying the existing law SO
that 1t will be found under one arti-
Gle and can be read and understood
by man of ordinary intelligence.

WHY BOOTLEGGERS OPPOSE
STATE Law ENFORCEMENT
CODE

The interests seeking the nullifica-
ton OF the Eighteenth Amendment
will in no way further their cause
by weakening its enforcement. That
they do not believe what they are
saying about the impossibility of eff
fective enforcement is shown by
their united opposition to every at
tempt to secure closer cooperation
by the several states with the feder-
al enforcement agencies. If the
state laws are OF no use in checking
violations OF the volstead act, why
all this protest and the demand for
their repeal?
It will be unfortunate from every
point of view II legislative consider
alton of many urgent state problems
10 delayed through pushing to the
front In politics a meaningless issue.
So Tar as the states are concerned
nothing can be done to permit the
iegalized sale of intoxicating liquors.
This was clearly shown In the case
OF New Jersey, where a governor
was elected on his pledge to make
that state las wet as the Atlantic
Ocean He has done nothing, and
can do nothing, to carry out his
promises. He has been elected to
the United States Senate because
OF his wet Views, but even there ali
he can do is to urge the resubmis-
sion to the states of resolution re-
2ealing the Eighteenth Amendment

LACK OF FOREIGN POLICY.
Especial Correspondence.l


Washington, Jan. 15.-Time and
events are clearly demonstrating
that the fundamentals Of the foreign
policies of the late Democratic adj
ministration were sound. President
Wilson prophetically foresaw the
evil consequences of a failure of a
just and prompt determination OF
German reparations, and in his first
communication to Senator Lodge,
Chairman of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee, on July Is, 1919,
solicited the approval of provision
al representative of the United
States on the Reparation Commits
sion. The letter follows:
MY dear Senator: There are
some things in connection with the
execution of the treaty of peace
which can hardly await the action of
the several governments which must
act with regard to the ratification of
the treaty, and chief of these is the
functioning of the Reparation Com
mission. 1t is of so much import
ance to the business interests of the
United States, as we'll as to the ma.
tions with which we are associated,
that the United States should be
represented on that commission, and
represented now while the work OF
the Commission is taking shape, that
am taking the liberty of writing
to ask IL you will not be kind enough
to consult the Committee on Foreign
Relations with regard to this par
ticular appointment. and say to
them that would very much appre-
ciate their approval OF my appoint
ment Professionally of a represent
alive of the United States to act
upon the PREPARATION Commission.
The best time to have dealt with,
the question OF German PREPARATIONS
was when this letter was written.
Not only was the request not grant
ed but eight months later. in order
to forestall the appointment of an
American representative on the
Reparations Commission, Senator
Lodge introduced a reservation pro-
viding that mo person is or shall be
authorized to represent the United
States, nor shall any citizen of the
United States be eligible, as the
member of any body or agency es-
tablished or authorized by said
treaty with Germany, except pursu-
ant to an act Of Congress Of the
United States providing for his APP
pointment and defining his powers
and duties"
AS late as two years ago leaders
of the Republican party, as well as
every one else, saw that the world
was at the crossroads and that Eu,
rope was threatened with financia!
and economic chaos.
Already welded to policy of iso-
lation the party now in power did
nothing to avert the threatened dis
aster. 1t was not even imbued with
an enlightened selfishness" to pro-
tect the interests OF the United
States which would inevitably suffer
as result of Europe's complete
breakdown.
Now that the supreme crisis has
been reached what is that party do
ing? 1t is as lacking In foreign
policy now as then. 1t flies from
or spurns anything and everything
suggested. With the worst that
can happen in Europe possible and
probable. the attitude of the Repup.
lican administration is one of help
lessness, and it seems animated only
one moment by timidity and the
next by perversity.

But what a difference now! In

restitution, we see Germany whining

Germany should be compelled to
