sentative Thomas l.. Blanton Of Texas
in an address before the Takoma, u.

The Takoma Public Library.
Speaking of the District Commits

With reference to representation
in Congress he said he was in favor

For Increased Taxes.
Another matter for which I have
been severely criticized Is my attitude
Tor increased taxes. For nine years
| have been advocating a raise in

the peoples city as we'll as your city
and the States should be willing that
millions Of dollars should be spent

too low. Taxes in other cities are
two and q half to three and half
times higher than here. | find it has
the lowest tax rate of any city in the
United States. Your tax rate next
year will be S1.70. and | find else
where that they are paying consider
ably more. and in my home State
business men are paying $4.25 per
$500
In referring to the street car fares
In the District. he said he considered
1t crime" to pay cents. The char
ter Of every railway in the District
provides that the rate of fare shall
be cents. and they should be com
PEELED TO charge that fare and no
more. he said. He favored restricting
the companies To their charters, and
said instead Of the 65 900 school chill
dren being compelled to pay s cents
they should ride for cents, and if
they We're forced to put business ad-
miniStration into their roads the chill
dren could ride for 3 cents.
Have YOU noticed that since March

You should get after the people receiv-

The ash service came in for Criti-
cism when he said that the collectors
