SUBTERF FUGE SEEN
IN MAPES TAX BILLS
CottreII ASSaiIS Measures at
eLunCheon cf Twentieth
Century Club.

Citizens of Washington oppose the
Mapes tax measures primarily because
the bills would Lave the way for a re-
duction in the Federal contribution to
the upkeep of the Capital rather than
for any inherent error in the measures
themselves. Robert j. Cottrell executive
secretary of the Washington Board of
Trade ana secretary of the Citizens
Joint Committee on Fiscal Relations,
told the Twentieth Century Club at
luncheon meeting yesterday in the
Young WomenS Christian Association
Building
We would not fight against the pas
sage of the Mapes bills so Wig
orously if their purpose were to
provide more revenue for the Dis
trict government" Mr.. Cottrell de-
clared. They really constitute a sub
terfuge to give the Federal Government
an excuse to decrease the amount of its
contribution to the District. and should
be opposed for this reason"
Fiscal History Traced.
The speaker traced the history of
fiscal relations between the Federal and
District Governments from the found
ing sOf Washington in 1890 to the pres
ent Gay. The tendency always has been,
he said, fer Congress to attempt to un
lead its burden on District taxpayers,
contrary to the original intention when
it first was decided to build the Capital
At that time, he said, it was thought
the entire Nation would bear the burden
OF developing Washington.
Mr. Cottrell showed that up to 1870
the Federal Government had contrib
uted but S12,OOO,O00 toward the upkeep
of the city, while the taxpayers carried
on the burden of its development al
most unaided.
Then. in 1873, he related, an organic
act was passed by Congress providing
for appropriations for the maintenance
of the Capital on a $3.50 basis between
the Federal Government and the Dis
trict
Development Rapid.
From 1878 to 1915. during the time
OF the $3.50 basis, the development of
the city was remarkable Mr.. Cottrell
asserted In 1922 the 60-4O plan came
into operation. and within a few years
Congress began 2ppropriating a lump
sum of S9,O00000. in direct opposition
to existing law. We want Congress to
60 back to the l9tter Of the law and
contribute its 40 per cent of the cost
of maintaining Washington rather than
the 30 per cent which S9,000,000 rep
resents."
Answering the arguments of those
who point TO the SIT tax rate prevail
ing in the District, Mr. Cottrell argued
that the high assessment of property
here results in the people paying an
even higher tax than the residents of
other cites of comparable size.

To inspect finishing work, par ticularly the interior painting job, in the Federal and Territorial Building is the mission of w. A. Newman, Pacific Coast representa- tive of the Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury in the purchase of building sites and inspection of buildings under con- struction. MT Newman's head quarters are in San, Francisco. He arrived in Juneau this week on the steamship Alaska.
 There is a dispute as to the merits of the interior painting job. the Guiry Brothers Paint and Wallpaper Company of Denver. Col, which had the contract for the work. declaring it meets the specifications, and L. R. Cleveland. federal inspector, refusing to rec cmmend acceptance of the job be- cause of asserted defects llnd thereby causing final payments to be withheld from the Guiry Bro- thers' Company,
 Notice Given Of Defects
 Some months ago after Guiry Brothers had announced oomple- ton of the job, MT Cleveland mo- tified them of what he deemed de- fleets. The contractors then en- gagged Max Mielke, painter of Ju- neau, and a force of several men to remedy the defects. Then the con- tractors were notified of further defects. Curry Brothers. however, refused to admit additional respon- sibility in the matter, and ap- pealed to the Supervising Architect of the Treasury and asked for pay ment in full on their contract.
 Making Thorough Inspection
 MT. Newman in company with MT Cleveland is making a thorough inspection of the painting, and the report that MT. Newman will sub init to the Supervising Architec. is expected to guide the latter in his final acknowledgement or re- iection of the Guiry claim.
