"GAs" TAX BILLS HIT.

without dissenting vote the joint
special civic committee for the Dis
trict Of Columbia on the gasoline tax
rejected all proposals for reciprocity
at a meeting yesterday afternoon
with the exception of that originally
approved by the Governor of Mary
land. Representing every large civic
and motoring organization in the Ma
tional Capital, the committee placed
itself on record as opposing any at
tempt Of Congress to violate the 1910
plan under which the fiscal relations
between the federal government and
the District are conducted.
Following the reading of an edf-
torial in The Evening Star, which
compared the gas tax situation at the
present time with tabled days, when
the master called in all the fowls and
asked them in what way they prefer
red to be cooked for dinner, a resolu-
ton was introduced by Pearce Ray
committee of the Board of Trade. who
called on the committee to take i'm
mediate action and to stand by its
convictions"
The resolution follows:
'It is unanimously agreed that the
special Joint civic committee on the
bfiis, s. 100 and II. r. 655, and to the
substitute proposed by Senator Ball
and would prefer no reciprocity with
Maryland rather than have that sub

upon the principles of fixed proper

WELFARE DIRECTOR
FOR D|STR|CT ASKED
Spencer Bill Would Establish
Department for Charity
and Other Activities.

A bill to establish q department of
public welfare of the government of
the District Of Columbia was intro
duced in the Senate today by Senator
Spencer of Missouri and referred to
the Senate District committee. 1t Is
similar to IL bill introduced in the
last Congress by Senator Spencer.
The duties and functions now per-
formed by the board Of charities. the
board of childrens' guardians. the
board of trustees of the national
training school for girls, the board of
and the board of directors of Column
bia Hospital would be transferred TO
the department Of public welfare.
The proposed department would have
control over the workhouse. the
Washington asylum and jail. the re-
formatory and the District Home and
Training School
Provision is made for a director of
public welfare to serve for a term of
five years and an advisory board Of
five members, all to be appointed by
the District Commissioners.
The department would be divided
into four divisions, as follows: Mem
tai diseases, child guardianship, cor
rection and administration and SUI
pervision.
The bill also contains provisions
granting aid to mothers with depend
ent children, compelling persons
twenty-one years or more of age to
support destitute parents, providing
for compulsory school attendance
and school census, compelling the
support of the wife and minor chill
dren by husband.
1t contains also various amend
ments to the law relating to the Ju-
venile Court.

CUT IN PHONE RATE

Immediate Reduction De.
ponds Upon Question of
Depreciation Funds.

Whether telephone rates are to be
the investigation held by the Utilities
Commission yesterday will depend
largely on the commissions final de-
cision in the matter Of handling de-
probation funds.
On the commissions present method
of accounting the telephone COM
pany's rate of return last year was
1888 per cent. At the hearing yes
terday William Nick. Clayton. spokes.
man for the Federation of Citizens
Associations. commended that the COM
pany's accrued depreciation OF more
than 100000 in 1923 should be figured
as part of net income. Following that
rule would make the rate OF return
11.99 per cent.
Walter C. Allen, secretary to the
commission, explained today that this
process of adding the amount set up
last year for depreciation TO net in
come is the same as not allowing 1t
as an operating expense.
Allen Outlines Course.
Such q course, Mr.. Allen said. could
not be followed by the commission
said. provides that the commission
must see to 1t that the companies do
set up a certain amount under oper-
ating expenses each year for depre-
citation of the property.
This practically eliminates any
possibility of the commission decid-
ing, as Mr.. Clayton contended, that
the accrued depreciation for the year
should be figured as part of the COM
pany's return.
What the commission is going to
consider at IL public hearing next
Monday Is whether the balance in any
utility's depreciation fund should be
deducted from the fair value of the
property for rats-making purposes.
This, Mr.. Allen said, is a different
proposition entirely from deducting
the accrued depreciation set up in
penses of that year.
