STORIES
AID FARMERS

The farmers Of the United States
are quick to take up new ideas on
farming ami home-making when
the idea is advertised, M. c. Wilson.
Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, declared today as
the result of a study of the rela-
tive effectiveness Of the numerous
methods employed by the extension
forces Of the department in intro
ducing new and better practices in
farming AMI home economics.
Methods classified as publicity.
which includes news stories,
bulletins, circular letters, posters,
exhibits, general meetings and
radio, were responsible for the
adoption Of, 80 per cent of the
27,032 improved practices intro
duced on S,73S farms in IL States.
When all costs were considered,
Mr.. Wilson said, the news story
was found to be the most eco
nomical means of influencing
farmers and farm women to adopt
the desired changes.
Object lesson methods, including
adult and junior result demon
stratiops, are the most expensive
means Of bringing about the wanted
changes, Mr.. Wilson found.

TAX SALE URGED
FOR GORDON
HOTEL

The first case under the new
law which provides that the coIlec.
tor Of taxes may apply to the court
to sell property for uncollectedI
taxes has been placed before the
District Commissioners by Col
lector Chatham M. Towers, when he
asked that authority be given to
sell a portion the Gordon Hotel
on sixteenth Street near K Street
Northwest.
Unpaid since 1887, the taxes and
penalties on this particular piece
OF property, described as lot I3I
square 1856, aggregate $40,078.23.
The property has been sold at tax
sales several times, but in each
instance the District has had to
buy it in, the amount of cash re.
quired for q tax title being too high
for the individual investor.
Show Down Due
The records in the Assessors Of
flee show that in 1887 the taxes, plus
penalties, on the property, amounted
to $833.96. The property il owned
by w. E., Jennie M. and Emma
Prall. The owners have declined
year after year to pay up the arrears
and the District, after being given
court authorization, win sell the
property at public auction.
One phase Of the new law which
may in some instances embarrass
the collector, who is the official au.
thorized to conduct the auction, is
the fact that the District may accept
no less than the amount Of taxes,
plus penalties and advertising fees.
In a number of instances the prop
critics which may be sold under the
new law, and clear title given the
purchaser, have more taxes against
them than they are actually worth.
In the case Of the sale Of the
Prall property the sale must bring
the full amount OF the uncollected
sums in cash. In the past the
sale of the place has been held up
several times due to the fact that a
clear title could not be passed until
the arrears had been wiped out en-.
tirely.
Others Long Delinquent
The property is, Of course, worth
q great deal more than the uncol
lected amounts, it is pointed out.
but there is sonic doubt in the minds
of the District officials that many
bidders will come forward to nut
up the cash necessary to clear the
property.
Several hundreds other properties
which have the same status as that
section OF the Gordon Hotel are be-
ing looked up and steps will be
taken in the near future to proceed
with a court sale of them.
In some cases taxes have re-
mained unpaid since 1880, but these
amounts are for the most part
small. On the books of the collec-
tor of taxes approximately $1,000
900 remains on the unpaid list, but
in the opinion of Towers this sum
will be materially reduced when
the properties in question are put
up for sale. He expressed the
opinion that many of the owners
when seeing the property getting
away from them will pay the ar
rears.
The Washington times., 1929-04-22
PLAN
To CONTROL
ALE TAX|S

Recommendation win be made
to Congress by the Public Utilities
Commission within the next few
days, that all taxicabs and for hire
vehicles in the District be placed
directly under the commission and
power given that body to regulate
and govern the operations of all
such vehicles.
The commission has long advo-
Gated changes in existing regula-
tions which place certain taxicabs
in the class of livery" and as such
do not come within the scope of
the commission except where the
matter Of meter charges are con-
cerned.
Under the plan now being consid.
cred by the commission all such
vehicles will be required to submit
monthly reports on their earnings,
the number of passengers carried
and so forth, in just the same man.
ner as that required Of other utili-
ties.
Bride FavOrs Plan
Some months ago an opinion was
sought from the office of the Cor
poration Counsel and William W.
Bride held that the Utilities Com
mission not only could but should
assume Jurisdiction over all taxi
cabs and public vehicles.
The Corporation Counsel ruled
that in his opinion the taxicabs are
a. public utilities as they come un.
der the heading Of common car.
rier, and as such are within the
jurisdiction of the commission.
One of the principal reasons be-
hind the demand that the present
regulations be changed, it was said
at the office OF the commission. IL
to compel all operators of public
cabs to cover themselves with full
liability insurance.
1t is shown that certain inde-
pendent concerns maintain a fund
out of which to meet any claims
for damages
This system, however. has 50
many weak spots, in the opinion
Of the commission, that it should
be abolished and each cab required
to carry sufficient liability insur-
ance.
The larger cab companies are
fully protected with such insurance

Won P0RAT'S HOPES
BLASTED BY RISKO
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April 6.-Johnny Risko,
the trial horse OF the heavyweight divi-
sion, has tested Otto Won porat, late
OF Norway. and found him wanting as
q serious contender for championship
honors.
Johnny broke his losing streak here
last night by administering 10-round
beating to Otto. Risko carried the hon.
ors In every round, and his rugged in
lighting prevented Won Porat from do
ing much with his right hand, Ieputed
to be O terrific weapon.
Both battlers weighed 1913 pounds,
but the Norwegian was head taller
than the former Cleveland baker boy
and had the longer reach. Despite
these advantages, he was only able to
lab Risko weakly with his right, and
his only, telling punch was launched
in the sixth round, when he landed
hard on the side Of Johnny,S head.
The blow staggered Risko, but the
Norwegian refused to become agrees
sive, thereby permitting Risko to slash
his way back inside and nay away with
both hands to the body.
Risko, who lost his three previous
bouts, two Of them in Boston against
Jimmy Maloney and Ernie Schaaf,
thought that a knockout over Won
Porat would regain him much Of his
lost standing. During the ninth and
tenth rounds he made no effort to de-
fend himself, using every ounce Of his
amazing strength In q vain attempt to
drop his gigantic opponent. Porat,
meanwhile, had many openings, which
he failed to use.

The Philadelphian captured individual

and one third place. Laufer came close
behind with two firsts, two seconds and
third. Spence gained the added
honor of setting two new worlds rec

300-yard individual medley and the
