.|GOE ASKS TO GIVE
UP AUTO TAG lob
Losing Money, He Says, With
$4,000 Still to Be De-
Iivered Here.

The Districts already muddled au-
tomobile tag situation became more
serious today when Represe NATIVE
elect James Igoe of Illinois, who took
over the defaulted contract of the
original manufacturer, requested TO
be relieved of filling the order for the
remainder of the 1927 tags. g
Approximately $4,000 of the 100000
pairs of tags ordered in the original
contract have been delivered, $4,000
of them coming in today, but Mr.. lgoe
advised District officials that he is not
anxious to continue with the contract
because of heavy financial loss.
Mr.. Igoe said his losses thus far to-
tai $20,276.63, and that this sum would
mount materially if he Is forced to pay
for the remaining $4,000 tags called
for in the original contract, in add
ton TO 81 $50 pairs ordered iii sub
sequent contract.
Means Another Delay.
The tags are costing him % cents
per pair, he said, while the contract
price is p cents per pair.
AS a result of Mr.. Igeo's desire to
be relieved of the responsibility for
completing the contract. M. G. Har-
grove, District purchasing agent, made
arrangements to go out on the open
market for the remainder of the tags,
which. of course, will force another de-
lay in the ultimate distribution.
About 1000 tags have been issued,
but Wade II. Coombs, superintendent
of licenses, does not plan TO distribute
any of. the Is 900 which came in today
until deliveries are made on the new
contract to be awarded.
The Commissioners have extended
the time limit for the use of the 1926
tags until March /. A further extern
sion likely will be ordered, in view of
the new developments.
Mr.. Hargrove said that the contract
for the remainder of the tags would
be awarded to the firm that can make
the quickest delivery and that the
price will not be a major factor Tor
consideration.
Contracting Company Must Pay.
The company which furnished the
bond for the original contractor viii
be called upon to make up any dirfef-
ence in price.
The Maryland State Penitentiary,
the second lowest bidder on the orig
inal contract, has informed Mr.. Har-
grave that it can turn out 1900 tags
per day as soon as steel is obtained.
The steel plate manufacturer In
Minnesota reported that it could make
delivery of the tags within about 40
days.
Mr.. Igeo was the financial hacker of
the Chicago tag manufacturer who
was awarded the original contract.
When this contractor defaulted, Mr..
Igeo took over the project and prom
Used to complete it.

OF the conference to the warning ges-
lures of pacifism," as evidenced by
the efforts of the foes of preparedness
TO abolish military training i'm the
schools and colleges throughout the
country.
Mr.. McNutt sought to refute the
pacifistic propaganda against military
training for the youth of the United
States by summoning logical argu-
ments in answer to each of the prin-
cipal derogatory claims advanced In
reply to the objection that military
training Is dangerous, he said:
THE public school system would be
failure if military service were not
recognized as part OF the duties OF
citizenship"
The question of compulsion-there
being compulsory military training in
SO of the schools and colleges of the
country according to Mr.. McNutt-
was settled by the fact that 1t was
only fraction of the rest of the curTi
culum, also compulsory.
