the coat was on Miss Sydow when

Ham Says 1O-Cent Fare
Would Prevent Trouble
Of Men Making Change

Painting a picture of an indiffer-
ent public that does not care how
high car fares go, William F. Ham.
president of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, today
asked the Public Utilities Commits
sion to boost fares to 10 cents be-
cause ''it will enable us to avoid
the annoyance, of making change
for a large number of passengers
during rush hours"
1t is very inconvenient, Ham
pointed out, for conductors on the
cars of his company to return 2
cents to passengers who now offer
10 cents to pay for ride.
Little Difference
The public as a whole, Ham as.
serted, is indifferent t. the slight
increase in fare asked by the car
companies, and declared that he did
not think the proposed increase
would have any noticeable effect
on the volume of passengers car
ried by his company. He said
the public is not greatly concerned
whether it pays 40 cents for six
car tokens or 80 cents for four car
tokens.
IT am heartily in favor of a To-
cent cash fare" Ham said, because
I believe it will be more acceptable
and much more convenient. Broadly
speaking, everything now costs 100
per, cent more than it did before
the war. We used to have a scent

5000 Hay Fever Cases
Reported in District

Figuring on a basis of 5.8 cases
to every 1000 of population, the
Public Health Service yesterday an.
nounced that more than 5000 per.
sons in the District of Columbia are
now suffering from hay fever.
Many causes are. ascribed for the
prevalence of this annual affliction
the most serious being pollination of
ragweed, which is now on in fun
bloom. The least serious menace of
all is goldenrod. commonly con.
demned as being the largest single
factor in promoting hay fever.
Prompt medical attention is rec
commended by the Public Health
Service which points out that by
proper preventive treatment persons
who have suffered from hay fever
in the past may very often avoid
the annual recurrence which is enc
OF the features Of the disease.

District Income Tax Measure Planned By Schafer
WOULD REVISE
!. PRESENT LAW !
ON LEVIES

Revision of laws governing
taxatiof in the District will
be asked Of Congress by Rep
resentative John G. Schafer, Of
Wisconsin, either after expira-
ton of the present recess or
upon the converting Of the
regular session in December.
The purpose of the Wisconsin,
legislator is to bring about a shift
in the tax burden and to set up
within the District an income tax
separate from the Federal income
tax now levied. In this way Schafer
believes that he can remove some
Of the burden from those now pay
ing taxes upon personal property
and upon real estate and turn 1t
over to those having large incomes
upon which they pay tribute only
to the Federal Government under
the existing system.
Representative Schafer has not
as yet prepared definite bill gov
erning the changes which he will
ask Congress to enact.
Studies Tax System
Schafer has been In town for
most Of the summer recess period
and has made complete study OF
the present tax system of the Dis
trict, the amount of revenue which
it produces and the number Of per.
sons paying taxes under the sys.
tenn.
Schafer for a long time has been
student of the income tax. both
as levied by the Federal Govern
ment and as levied by the In
dividual states. He believes that
the States have in the income tax
an excellent means of increasing
their income. He also believes that
the income tax places the burden
of taxation upon those who are besta
able to carry it,.
Schafer pointed out today that his
home State Of Wisconsin has for
several years had a State income
tax law and that It has been found
to work excellently. He said that
while as yet he is. not yet ready
with his District bill, it win prob.~
ably follow closely along the lines !,
embodied in the Wisconsin measure.
Other States Surveyed
Schafer. however, is not confin.
ing his study of taxation systems
to the District and his home State
in preparation for asking for re-
vision of the local laws. He has
obtained copies OF income tax laws
which are in effect in various
States of the Union, and is prepar.
ing tabulated statements of the re.
suits gained from each.
From this tabulation, Schafer ex-
poets to find out which are the best
laws and the most enforceable. Once
this is determined, he will draw up
his bill for the District and it will
embody the best features Of the
various State laws.

voiced their reluctance to enter into

REALTY PROBE
PLANS BEING
MADE

Preparations are being COM
pleted today at the Capitol for
the launching within the next
two weeks Of the Senatorial
investigation into realty opera
tions and real estate financing
within the District.
In anticipation of the return to
the city next week Of Senator John
]. Blaine of, Wisconsin, chairman
OF the special committee which will
conduct the investigation, his office
force is preparing final arrangements
for the probe.
Senator Blaine. under authority
Of q resolution which he introduced
and had adopted before the recess,
viii go into every phase Of finances
and realty dealings in the city.
/. He win be assisted in his investi.
cation by Senators Arthur H. Van
denberg, of Michigan: Frederic NJ.
Sacket, OF Kentucky; Carter Glass,
of Virginia. and Willard Tydings.
OF Maryland.
FuDhc meanings
The course which the investlga-
ton will take has not been COM
pletely mapped, but Senator Blaine,
it, Is understood, during the recess
has given the matter considerable
thought and Is bringing back to the
city with him a thorough program
for the inquiry.
1t Is expected that the investiga-
ton will be conducted largely
through the medium of public hear
ings, although the special committee
will have several undercover agents
at work while 1t is in progress.
Scope Extended
The inquiry is to be conducted
under a resolution which Blaine in.
troduced as substitute for a reso-
luton which had been introduced by
| Senator Smith w. Brookhart, of
Iowa, the substitute was found
necessary in order to extend the
scope OF the inquiry originally plan
| ned and fostered by Brookhart.
Brookhart is expected to play an
| important role in the investigation,
he having received great volume
of data dealing with the local real
| estate and finance fields.
| The committee is authorized to
consider all matters dealing with the
sale of stocks, bonds, mortgages and
real estate trusts. AS a result of
the investigation it is expected that
legislation will be recommended
which will set up for the District
rigorous code of laws dealing with
these matters.
Existing laws covering this field
have been declared in the Senate
to be inadequate.
