COTTRELL SCORES
MAPES TAX BILLS
Proposed Measures Opposed
by Board of Trade Because
of Intent, He Says.

The only reason for pending bills
imposing increased tax burdens upon
the voteless people Of the District was
ascribed by Robert J. Cottrell, execu-
tive secretary of the Washington Board
OF Trade, in a radio address over Sta
ton WMAL last night, as the desire on
the part of Congress to reduce still
further the proportion of the Federal
contribution toward the upkeep OF the
National Capital. Discussing the whole
subject Of fiscal relations, Cottrell de-
clared it was primarily for this reason
that the Board of Trade has enlisted
in the fight against District revenue
measures embodied in the Mapes re-
port.
Declaring that Congress had pursued
its policy of reducing the amount OF
the Federal share of appropriations In
the face of increased expenditures to
make washington the most beautiful
capital in the world, Cottrell asserted
it is now proposed to fix the amount at
Sc 100000 and make up the $3,000,OO
difference in the 100000 Federal ap-
preparation last year by increased tax
alton. He said:
Explains Boards Stand.
Now in opposing the Mapes bill and
the gas tax and income tax, the Board
of Trade and the civic organizations
are opposing these bills for additional
taxation not because they dislike an
income tax or a gas tax. for we have
not determined one way or the other,
but for this reason These bills have
been introduced for the purpose OF rails

Will Take Up Other Mat

The Senate District Committee -
It's meeting scheduled for this after
noon may discuss procedure to be
followed in considering the Mapes bills
on taxation and fiscal relations, but
the committee is not likely to 60 into
the detailed provisions of the measures
at this meeting.
First Set for Tomorrow.
The committee meeting, originally
scheduled for tomorrow morning, was
changed when it was found q number
of members could not attend tomorrow.
One of the things Chairman Capper
wants to talk over with his colleagues
Is the suggestion that the Mapes bills
be referred to the Bureau of Efficiency
for study and report
There are four Mapes bills, seeking
to add a total Of approximately $4,000
900 to the Districts tax burden by
enacting local estate tax, local in
come tax, tax on automobiles by
weight and an increase from to 4
cents q gallon in the gas tax. There
Is also the Mapes bill to repeal the
provision of 1922, which made the 60-40
ratio of expense between the District
and Federal Governments substantive
law.
Ratio Never Repealed.
Although annual lump sums have
been substituted for the Governments

stantive law has never been repealed.

BERNET WANTS 4
EASTERN RAILWAYS
President of c. & O. Supports
Plan of Willard and
AtterbuTy.

Consolidation of Eastern railroads
into four systems was urged today by
the president of the Chesapeake & Ohio
one Of the roads around which the pro-
posed merger would center.
J. j. Bernet, the witness, was the
third president of leading Eastern roads
to urge this action instead Of the FIVE
system plan advocated by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Ask Only Four Lines.
Bernet described the five-system plan
as impracticable and said the four New
England gateway lines should be as
signed to the Eastern systems instead of
New England.
He followed Daniel Willard, president
of the Baltimore g. Ohio, and w. w. At
terbury, president of the Pennsylvania,
as e witness at hearings before Chair
man Porter Of the commission.
These roads, together with the New
York Central, have asked the commits
sion to change its 1929 consolidation
plan to provide only four systems. They
would be the key lines.
Brnet said a four-system plan would
make for efficiency and better public
service.
Changes Proposed.
THE principal changes in the COM
missions plan proposed by the appli-
cants," he said ARE the elimination
from the plan of the Wabash-Seaboard
System and the reallocation Of the car
riers composing that system, the trans
fer Of the four So-called Hudson River
Bridge Lines from New England sys-
TENS to the proposed four systems, the
transfer Of one carrier (the Chicago &
Eastern nlinois) from Northwestern
system to an Eastern system and
changes in the ALLEGATION of certain
carriers as between the four proposed
systems in Eastern territory"
Bernet said the commissions plan in
cluded in the WabaSh-Seaboard the
Detroit, Toledo 81 Ironton and the
Chesapeake & Ohio of Indiana as con-
nections between the Norfolk g. West
ern and the Wabash. This would de-
prtve the Chesapeake g. Ohio of its Chi
cago line, he added, leaving it with a
line ending at Cincinnati without any
connection beyond.
Fears Shift in Program.
Defending the four-system consoli-
6ation plan, w. w. Atterbury, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, yes
terday declared at the hearing that
any change in the alignment now pro-
posed by the carriers would entail re-
opening of negotiations that would en-
danger the work Of eight years.
Atterbury said the railroads scheme
was the result of numerous concessions
by all parties. The five-system East
ern set-up suggested by the commission,
for which the railroads plan is a sub
stitute, is lacking in possibility of
proper financial stability Mr.. Atterbury
said
Taking up the question of the Della
ware g. Hudson Railroad, a bridge"
line to the New England gateway, At
terbury argued against independent
ownership by any one. He asserted
that joint control by all four systems
Pennsylvania, Baltimore e. Ohio, New
York Central and Chesapeake & Ohio.
Nickel Plate-was the only insurance
against one party to the plan gaining
control of the line.
Questioned regarding the disposition
of the various lines leading into New
England, Atterbury denied emphatically
that the Pennsylvania controls the New
Haven Railroad.
