A constitutional amendment

loon," but at the same time pro-
vidins for the sale of Intoxicating
beverages under a diSpenSary SyS-
tenn controlled by the States
was proposed in the House today
by Representative Tilson (R) of
Connecticut.
The amendment would give
Congress authority to tax the
manufacture and sale of intoxi-
cants.
Tilson, former Republican floor
leader of the House, and recog-
nized as close to the Administra-
ton on questions other than pro-
hibition. said:
eff the constitutional amend
ment 1 have proposed shall be
submitted to the States and
ratified by the required num-
Der, 1 believe it will put the
prohibition question on the way
to a final solution SO far as
the Federal Government is con-
cerned.
"While permitting those States
where the people so desire to
retain the benefits of cOnstitu-
tiOnal prohibition, it will allow
the other States taking diff
ferent view of such benefits to
regulate the liquor traffic as
the people in those States may

TAXES
ASKED FOR
D. {. IN
HOUSE
Little Interest Shown Among
Members; BIanton for
Speedy Enactment

The utter lack of interest of
the majority of members of
Congress in District affairs
was clearly exhibited today
when the Mapes committee re-
port, asking $6,500,OOO Fed
eral contribution and increase
in District taxation, was re-
ported to the House.
More than half of the members
of the House left their places and
many of those remaining failed
to heed the report of the COM
mittee as Representative Carl E.
Mapes of Michigan, Republican
chairman, asked for the institution
of an estate tax, income tax, auto
mobile weight tax and an increase
in the gasoline tax of from 2 to 4
cents per gallon.
Blanton Wants Speed
A recommendation of the COM
mittee for a $6,500,000 appropria-
ton, instead of the $9,500,O00
contribution, was not incorpor-
ated in bill for enactment.
which aroused the ire of Repre-
sentative Thomas L. Blanton CD
of Texas.
Blanton advocated the quick
adoption of legislation that
would prevent the Federal Gov.
ernment from contributing more
than the recommended amount.
He portrayed the residents OF
the District as group of tax
evaders who would, he said:
attempt to ham-string and
hold us up to the closing
hours of the session unless we
protect ourselves by the imme-
diate adoption of such legiS-
latiOn."
The Mapes Committee recon-
mended a $6,500,000 annual Fed
eral contribution to the District
instead of the present contribu-
ton of $9,500,000, an increase in
the gas tax of from 2 to 4 cents a
gallon, an average automobile
weight tax of $l4, an inheritance
tax and in income tax.
The Mapes report asks that the
recommendations be accepted,
otherwise ''the District will become
a haven for tax dodgers and for
those who wish to evade taxation"
Based on Long Study
The drastic proposals of the
committee are based on months Of
tsudying tax rates of other cities
and the Mapes report advises Con-
gress to take no cognizance of the
fact that the District is voteless,
and filled with untaXable Federal
land and park area.
With the increase in taxation
recommendations adopted, the
District would add $4,00,000 to it's
revenues and the report asks that

PRESIDENTS
LEADERSHIP
PRAISED
Sea Is Wild, But Ship Is Safe
In Present Hands, Says
National Chairman

Striking high note of con-
fidence in the Administration
of President Hoover, Senator
Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, chair
man, convened the Republican
national committee today for
the purpose of selecting a con-
vention city for 1882.
In advance of the balloting, it
appeared Chicago was an almost
certain choice, with the date set
for the second week of June.
Points Out Duties
Significantly, Fess told the men
and women of the committee
that:
"Our business is to place Mr..
Hoover in the minds of the
public where his stupendOus ef
forts and brilliant leadership
justify"
All of tho nations current all
lnents were traced by Fess, back
tc the war, and to the more seri'
Gus economic conditions prevail
ing in other countries. He said:
San intelligent public opinion
must be formed. 1t is the pur-
pose Of this committee to assist
in convincing the disaffected
that the President is not re-
spOnSible for the spots on the
sun, the storms at sea, the
drOughts on land, nor the num-
erOus epidemics that frequently
sweep sections of the country"
Regarded AS Keynote
Observers regarded the speech
as a "key-noter" for the anti
cipated denomination of Mr..
Hoover, as Senator Fess con-
tinued:
"Seen from the long distant
point of view, our country is
riding the waves of an economic
storm. 1t is not unlike the best
built ship Overtaken by a storm
at sea. In the midst of the
confusion. both passengers and
crew are aware that on the
