FINDS LINCOLN

George Washington was no tee

life.
Thus comfort is given the vets,
and hitherto unpublished facts in
the lives Of the two most revered
American Presidents, which in their
respective generations probably did
not even receive passing notice, bid
fair to start another controversy
with the prohibition forces.

Washington while defending the
first President last night at the

HOLD TRACT ION
MERGER NEAR

District officials are looking for
important developments toward a
merger of the local street car in
terests about the middle OF next
month. Some defenite plan is ex-
pected to come to the attention of
the Public Utilities Commission
within a few days after March IL,
the date on which the resignation
of George E. Hamilton, president
OF the Capital Traction Company,
becomes effective.
Two theories are advanced as to
the reasons for Hamilton's resign
ing at this time. the most critical
period in the history of utilities in
the District.
It has been rumored that Hamil-
ton feels that he has done all he
could toward putting the Capital
Traction Company in the position
1t now enjoys and that the time
has come when John II. Hanna, vice
president and general manager OF
the company, should take the helm.
Hanna has been directly respon-
sibIe for the policies of the Capital
Traction Company for some time,
while the experience of Hamilton
has been used to advantage in liti-
cations.
Some think, however, that mer-
ger plans are much further adj
vanced than the public is aware
and that relations between high
officials have become strained over
the proposed allotment of the big
gest jobs with the unified com
panies.
Those in touch with affairs have
Indicated that William F.. Ham,
president of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company. would
be the probable choice for the
presidency and Hamilton, general
manager and counsel, for the
merged companies Thus, the posi-
ton of Hanna would be somewhat
hazy.
Officials of the Public Utilities
Commission believe that more is
being done now toward combine
tion Of the two companies than
ever before.

TAX BILL SURE
To PASS, VIEW
By FRED j. WALKER

The American taxpayer can get to
work today on the unwelcorne task
Of making out his 1925 income tax
return without fear that last-minute
action by Congress may overthrow
the rate structure built up by Sem
ate and House Aonferees.
Leaders OF both parties conf
IDENTIFY predicted enactment OF the
new 1881 900 900 tax reduction bill
before the end Of next week
AS now written the law carries
$61 900 900 more In reductions than
Secretary Mellon said the Treasury
could stand when he fixed d limit
Of $3.50 ,O00, 900.
The House win receive the Bill
Monday and It probably will be
passed Tuesday. It will then go to
the Senate where the chief opposi-
ton il expected, over the restora.
ton Of automobile and amusement
taxes.
No changes were made In normal
taxes as was confidently expected
by the Treasury when II printed
the new forms carrying rates Of
IL per cent on incomes under
$4,000, per cent between $4,000
and $4,000. and per cent over
$4,000. These compare with old
rates of q, 4 and per cent.
Exemptions viii be $500 for single
and $500 for married persons.
The main features Of the COM
promise are the repeal of the
capital stock tax which was met
by an increase in corporation tax
from 1914 per cent under existing
law to 1914 per cent. Returns for
1925 however will be at the rate Of
Is per cent.
Estate taxes were fixed at q
maximum OF 20 per cent on $10,-
OOO, 900 and more with a minimum
OF / per cent on the first $4,000.
An exemption of 100000 was
allowed.
Large reductions in Federal
income were expected from the new
estate taxes which allow exemptions
of 100000 as against $4,000 under
the present law, because 80 per cent
of the revenue is turned back to
the states.
