Trade Commission to dismiss the in
junction proceedings brought by the
Royal Baking Powder Co. of New
York to prevent the reopening of a
case against the company in reference
to alleged unfair advertising.

sible notifications Of cease and de.

peals. He contended that the com

STATESP[AN DRIVE
|NMOTOR TAG WAR
Maryland and Virginia Ready
to Nab Aut0iStS With H.
legal D. c. Licenses.

Traffic officers of the two adjoining
States. Virginia and Maryland, are
planning q drastic drive on bona fide
residents of those States who are
evading State registration laws by
equipping their automobiles Illegally
with d. c. tags.
When the lines of the police forces
are drawn every automobile with d. c.
tags which attempts to enter the Dis
trlct during the morning rush hours
from Arlington County Va. and
Montgomery County, Md, will be halt
ed for an explanation by its owner as
to why State tags are not carried.
May Appear i'm Court.
If the motorists are unable to give
a satisfactory explanation they will
be summoned to appear in court and
defend themselves. If they so desire,
against charges of violating the State
traffic laws.
Virginia's crusade was to have be.
gun today, but inclement weather is
thought to have been responsible for
what was described as Temporary
postponement." State traffic officers
from Richmond, Stafford Court House,
Culpeper and other points are to be
mobilized at the bridges leading across
the Potomac and all cars bearing ID. c.
tags will be stopped for several hours
before 10 o'clock in the morning.
Leading the Maryland campaign
will be Chief Of Police Alvie A. Moxley
of Rockville. Chief Moxley will not
give the signal for his men to "gc
over the top" until November /, how
ever. He says he wants to give every
one a chance to comply with the law
before he goes after them.
County Drive Looms.
According to Moxley, there are ap
proximately ESQ persons residing in
Montgomery County who have been
operating their automobiles in Dis
trict license plates, which cost only q
dollar. Furthermore, he declared to-
day, these persons are escaping pay
ment of Maryland's personal tax on
automobiles. The new drive will be
similar to one conducted year or two
ago, when many motorists were fined
in the Rockville Police Court.
Virginia's warfare on her ciizens who
seek to evade payment of her higher
automobile tag fees, was planned last
week at the reciprocity conference"
held In Gov. Byrd's Office at Richmond
Motor Vehicle Commissioner James M.
Hayes, jr., announced at that time
that he would station officers at the
Key and Highway bridges. to halt all
motorists thought to be violating the

New System Sought.
Systematic procedure for ordering
and storing the various classes of
tags, which will permit economic use
of labor and space and will facilitate

The most important recommendation
of the bureau, however, that seek
ing to set up machinery to serve as a.
substitute for a registration of title
laws in the absence of such legisla.
ture, was postponed for further con-

deferred action on recommendation
for setting up an accurate accounting
system for cash receipts. This Ques-
ton was referred jointly to the
District Auditor and Collector of
Taxes for further consideration.
