RECIPROCITY FIGHT
CROWDS GALLERIES

With the House galleries crowded.
the salsoine tax bill, which is sup
posed to effect reciprocity on autorno-
and the National Capital. came up for
consideration in the House today.
The first hour was devoted to de-
bate in favor of the bill by Acting
Chairman Fred y. Zihlman of Mary
land, in charge of this legislation
and in opposition by Representative
Thomas l. Blanton of Texas, who de-
clared it to be unconstitutional and an
attempt to eyade taxes in the District
various states in the Union.
Representative Charles l. Under
hill of Massachusetts declared, I'VE
have the most wonderful Capital city
in the world" and urged the passage
of the gasoline tax bill, including an
amendment by himself which would
impose a personal property tax in
addition to the gasoline tax and that
the money should be put upon i'm
provement of the streets.
Bianton Proposal Defeated.
Representative Blanton insisted
that the people of the country should
not be forced to pay a tax when they
visit their own National Capital
On motion of Representative Blan-
ton to strike out the enacting clause,
a division of the House and a vote
by tellers defeated his proposition,
Is to So.
Representative Begg of Ohio de-
clared that there is no reason for
exempting any part of the personal
property tax on an automobile any
more than on any piece of property
and even less The bill before the
House proposes an exemption up to
$1,000, the same as on household
furniture.
Representative Besg called atten-
tion that the only reason for tax
on automobiles is to recover money
for the maintenance of streets from
the people who destroy them. The
only reason for a. gasoline tax is to
collect for damages done by the ma
chimes, he SaidI He declared his
belief that a gasoline tax IL the .'only
equitable tax in the world. because
the people who do the damage pay
as they ride in proportion to the
wear and tear on the roads"

URGES NAVAL BASE

Mare Island Commander Points to
Inadequacy in Pacific Coast
q Situation.

Declaring Mare Island had all the
work il could handle in looking after
ships of less than thirty feet draft,
Rear Admiral Mexican, commander Of
tho Mare Island navy yard, today told
base should be placed at Alameda or
the project abandoned.
In the event of war, Rear Admiral
Mexican said, the island would not be
able to do more than one-fourth of
the repair work needed. and that even
with the Alameda base, every port
on-tbe Pacific would be taxed to ca
pacity.
Required for Defense.
Defense of the Pacific, he added,
defended upon central base in San
Francisco bay with Puget Sound and
San Diego as fanking stations. and
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, as an advnce
port, adding that Pearl Harbor prop

TeE Admiral McKean said the
Manila, az these ports were fortified
as.l strongly as possible under the

they might come into the enemy's
possession overnight. This, he added,
strengthens the need of developing
Pearl Harbor as an advance base,
which must be supported from the
coast.
Denies Atlantic Neglect.
He denied that the, coast south of
Charleston, S. c., had been neglected,
as was questioned recently by Rep
reSentative O'Connor, democrat

CO. DEFENDS
POWER SITE ASSET
Counsel Argues Right to Add
100000 Property to
Valuation Figures.

The Great Falls power site is essen-
tiaI to meet the needs of the Potomac
Electric Power Company in the future,
and, therefore, the company should be
permitted to have its value Of $1,000
600 included in a valuation OF the
physical property Of the company, ac-
cording to the contention of Attorney
James S. Barbour, who today began
the closing argument for the company
at the valution hearing before Justice
Stafford in Equity Division 2.
Conrad H. Syme, counsel for the
Public Utilities Commission had
claimed this item should be elimi-
mated because the property at Gress ese I
Falls has not been put to use by the
company. Mr.. Barbour is expected
to conclude his remarks tomorrow
morning when Justice STAFFORD VIII
take the matter under advisement.
Court Of Appeals in remanding the
case after reversing the decision IN
favor Of the commission rendered by
the late Justice Gould did not intend
that the District Supreme Court
should make the revaluation but that
the case should be returned to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. which alone is
empowered under the law to make
valuations.
If the company should be dissatis-
fed with the new action of the COM
mission it could then appeal to the
District Supreme Court for a review
of the revaluation. he said.
The Public Utilities Commission in
ciuded only costs in announcing its
valuation of the property in 1916 and
eliminated items which properly
should have been included in q VAL
uatien OF the company's property.
Mr.. Barbour asserted. The lawyer
pointed out what he called a number
of admissions by the expert for the
com mission that he had made dupli-
cate eliminations of items for which
only one deduction should have been
made.

GEORGIA VANS TO

kiln dried Georgia yams will run as
high as $500 or more per 100 pounds

forecast in the current issue of the

of Markets. Letters from produce
merchants, wholesalers and jobbers
as far distant as Texas were the basis
for the price estimate
The sweet potato crop is short
more than 100000 bushels in the
United States this year and 100000
bushels under 1923 in Georgia, giving
sound basis forf orecast of high pric-
es. according to Market Bureau Off
cials. yt .sa
The price in Georgia markets at
present is substantially less than 81
for sweet potatoes, running from $l.25
in Columbus to $l.80 in Augusta. The
price should begin to improve with

COMMUNITY PRODUCTION
SOLVES SEED PROBLEM

An adequate supply of pure plant
ing seed of standard cotton varieties
is the fundamental requirement of the
cotton industry, to replace the mix
ed 'gin run" stocks now generally
grown, says the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture A general inves-
tigation of the breeding and utiliza-
ton of superior varieties of cotton has
shown that pure seed can be produced
only in communities that limit them
selves to one variety.
Remarkable results have been Sc
cured on the community plan of one
variety production at Winterville in
Clarke county, and Reed creek, in
Hart county during the past two years
and in 1924 twelve communities were
organized on this basis. Five hundred
acres of College No. cotton was
grown in the Reed creek community
this year and all of the seed sold for
planting purposes. In every oommun-
itv following the one variety plan, a
pure seed association has been organ
lied, which handles all of the sales
and purchases of seed on a coopera-
tive basis.
Under the community production
system the mixing of seed and the
I consequent running out of varieties
are avoided, production is based on
pure seed, superior qualities are util-
lied, better cultural methods are adop-
ted, greater efficiency in production is
secured and commercial advantages
are obtained from the marketing of a
uniform product.
Information on the one-variety com
munity method of cotton production,
including the selection of variety, the
maintenance of seed stocks and the
organization of new centers of seed
supply may be obtained by writing the
State College of Agriculture at Ath-
ems or the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington.
