CAPITAL FOR $50,032
Chesapeake & Potomac Co. Wants
Money Back, Claiming Wrong
Tax Assessment.

The District Of Columbia was sued
yesterday for $50,032.7S by the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co. to re-
cover that amount of taxes claimed to
have been illegally assessed and col
lected from the company. According to
Attorney George P. Hoover for the
company, the District wrongfully as
sessed and levied the tax on the poles,
wires and conduits of the company as
real estate.
The company protested, but when
threatened with distraint, paid the
tax under protest under it's conten-
ton that the assessment should have
been made as personal property and
not as real estate.
The Identical question is awaiting
decision before Justice Stafford in an
equity proceeding brought by the
Potomac Electric Power Co. to enjoin
the District Commissioners from col
lecting a tax on it's poles, wires and
conduits, which had been assessed as
real estate.

In one section half a million

PnVCHOT PLAYS
SILENT CAME
By O. ROSS DOWNING
InternatIonal News service

HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept. g.
Clifford Pincl1ot, who, as governor
Of Pennsylvania, has been noted
for the emphatic manner IN which
he has made known his stand on
most public questions. remains an
unknown quantity in the coming
November election.
Although he ran poor third In
the May primaries in which VIII
liam s. Ware. Of Philadelphia, was
given the Republican nomination
United States senate, Pincfot, by
virtue OF SCI votes, received the
senatorial nomination on the Labor
ticket and therefore is entitled to
place on the November ballot.
The Labor party in the recent
primary was only a gesture Of a
few disgruntled men, lacking en-
tireIy the leadership which ait one
time made the party force 20 be
reckoned WITH
Nevertheless, that nomination for
Governor Pinchot is peg on which
many predictions can be hung, and
the governor has repeatedly refus-
ed to say what his intentions are
regarding it.
Much Uneasiness
The state election laws require
that q candidate who does not want
his name to appear on the ballot
must file notice Of his intentions
on or before September Is previous
to the election.
Regardless of the huge vote which
Vare, in the face of two opponents
-Pinchot and Senator George Whar-
ton Pepper-piIed up at the primary
it was generally expected that
Pinchot will be an independent can
didate, basing his campaign on the
dry issue and his gubernatorial
record. The course, it was believed,
would enable him to get the sup
port Of many Pepper supporters
and give him fighting chance
against the Philadelphia leader.
May Fight Ware
1t Is generally conceded that
Pinchot will do nothing whatever to
aid Wares candidacy, but what he
may do to hurt it is the big prob
lem confronting the old line Repub-
lican leaders.
Democratic newspapers and lead
ers have been hopeful of getting
Pinchot into the race in support OF
William B. Wilson, the Democratic
nominee. Because the governor has
announced his intention to remain
in public life in some capacity after
his goyernorship ends next January.
it is not expected that he will desert
the Republican banner under which
he won his nomination and election
four years ago.
One of Pinchot's favorite phrases
in politics Is mot merely there, but
fighting" Just where there will
be and for whom he will be fight
ing" constitute an enigma which
even September 10 may not def
nitely solve.

high heels are detrimental to play

subject.
