Graduated Tax Against Chain
Stores Also Is Considered
Among Schemes Submitted

Radical revision of the Dis

relations with the government to-
day loomed as inevitable at the
coming session of Congress.
Half Dozen Schemes
Half q dozen schemes for
alterations in the tax program
Of the city already are under
consideration among District
leaders in House and Senate and
from present indications the new
Congress-, 50 far as the District
is concerned. win be largely a
taxation body.
The fiical relations inquiry now
being conducted by the Mapes
committee of the House is the
local point of the financial aspect
Of the new Congress, but in ad-
0lCl0n Ghefc are several important
proposals for new taxes and re-
vision of present ones.
Income Tax Proposed
Several members of the Senate
already are at work on a bill
which would establish an income
tax in the District, similar to
those in effect in MANY States.
There is also under consideration
. proposal to impose upon resi-
dents Of the city an estate or in
heritanee tax.
Still another taxation scheme
for which o drive will be made i'm
the coming Congress, which, I'm
fact Is already under way, is
one which would place q gradu-

EXTRA TASKS
FORCED ON
WORKERS
FurIoughS Now at Minimum to
End July |; Provision for
Saturday HaIf-HoIidays

The present furlough system at
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing probably will be ended
entirely with the beginning of the
new fiscal year on July /.
This is the word which reached
the employees today, and, although
not officially confirmed, it is re-
garded as a certainty because Of
the influx of new work coming
to the plant.
FurIoughs Already Cut
Furloughs already have been
cunt down to minimun1-the
plate printers having three q
month and the plate printers as
sistants and other workers but
one a month. This arrangement
has been in effect for the past two
months, and since that time the
volume of printing jobs at the bu-
reau has been steadily increasing.
The 1882 Treasury appropria-
ton bill, which goes into effect
next month, will iron out num-
Der of difficulties which the
Bureau OF Engraving and Print
ing has faced recently.
Saturday Half Holidays
1t makes ample provision for
putting the Saturday half holiday
law into effect for all workers. 1t
also provides for the refunding
operations of the Liberty Loan
act authorized by the last Con-
gress, and thus gives the Bureau
a large additional job.
The Treasury refinancing dur
ing 1882 will be the largest in
more than a decade, involving
both long and short-term bonds
and certificates of Indebtedness.
For that reason the Bureau is
likely to be worked at full ca
pacity officials say.
