ARLINGTON BILL
HITS WATERFEES
Delegate Reid Opposes "Pay-
ing State License for Op-
Grating System"
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

RICHMOND, Va, February 3.-The
treasurer of Arlington County would be
prohibited from collecting any more
fees for handling the finances OF the
Arlington County Water Department
under the provisions of a bill intro
duced in the House of Delegates yeSter-
day by Delegate Hugh Reid.
In explaining the measure, Reid said
that by technicality the State has
been requiring the county treasurer to
well as on ordinary county levies.
Always Has Surplus.
The result is that since Arlington
County always returns a surplus Of
fees 1t is equivalent to paying the State
a license fee for operating the water
system.
Reid stated that he did not believe
that it would make any difference in
the remuneration of Treasurer E. Wade
Ball or any of his deputies. since the
fees of the treaSurer'S Office always
exceed by substantial margin the
maximum amount he is permitted by
the State to retain.
Reid's bill was one Of two offered
yesterday by members of the Northern
virginia QeleBaIlOn. Inc second was
introduced by Delegate R. A. Mcintyre.
1t would forbid the use of the Ameri-
can or State flags for advertising pur-
poses, and would prohibit its reproduc-
ton on anything except jewelry, sta
tionery and certain articles authorized
by the Federal Government.
Designed as a companion bill to the
one he introduced last Friday, by which
the automobile license taxes would be
diverted to the schools of the State,

Delegate Colgate Darden yesterday IN
troduced a bill to provide that the
gasoline tax revenue be used Tor tbs
reconstruction and maintenance OF State
highways, as well as for original con-
structiorf. A like bill was introduced
in the Senate.
Auto Tax Year Change.
In accordance with previously an
nounced plan, Delegates Clinton A.
Fowler and c. M. Waldrop introduced a
bill to change the automobile license tax
year from January l to April !, in an
effort to delay the necessity for the
purchase of automobile tags until citi-
zens have had an opportunity to pay
their other taxes and Christmas bills.
The bill would make the 1882 tags
good until April l, 1888, thereby losing
the State a fourth year in license tax
revenues. This amounts, 1t is said, to
S1,500,000. Opponents object to the bill
on the grounds that 1t would make
evens more difficult the efforts that
have been made to provide a uniform
license law for the State.
Lawyers engaged IN the improper
solicitation of business would be guilty
of malpractice under the provisions of
a bill introduced by Delegate Vivian
Page, chairman of the House Courts Of
Justice Committee.
Delegates John O. Rhodes and M. L.
Harrison introduced a bill to allocate
State highway funds to the eight con-

EVANSVILLE, Md, February 3.
Had a stranger dropped in at
meeting of the mayor and Common
Council of Hyattsville in the Munich
pal Building, last night, he doubtless
would have figured that the town
fathers were a rather hard lot to
manage.
For Mayor Lemuel L. Gray was
presiding over the deliberations OF
the body with blackjack.
The fact was that the genial
mayor, unable to find the new gaVel
presented him recently by H. S.
Crawford, accepted the offer of a
town policeman to lend him black
jack.
Mayor Gray hastened to inform
his associates that he was sure he

to be made that he did not believe
to be true, and so, in the course of
years, the 'Carolina Waterman" came
to be widely recognized as a safe and
accurate authority on all such sub

paper men whose acquaintance it has
been my good fortune to make, none
has seemed to me SO near perfection in

this great union-grew eloquent in
praise of wise and sagacious leaders,
and he blotted with a teal the paper
on which he wrote of sectional strife
and discord. He chronicled with sober
earnestness the birth of a new republic,
and Like other loyal sons of the South,
raised his arm and pen in its defense.
He watched with unfeigned interest
its short and stormy career, and then
wrote dispassionately of the furling
of its blood stained banner. He was
found fighting for what he be-
lieved to be the best interests of his
people, and advocating such men and

An old time Wing before the

ferment or position, but only to an

TAX STUDIED

A new wet-and-dry controversy
arose today over the bold pro-

that the Federal Government levy
a 100 per cent tax on all the
profits of bootleggerS.
Varying opinions were expressed
upon McAdoo's scheme, which
was broached in a letter to Sena-
tor Walsh CD of Montana.
Walsh said he could see no
reason for hesitancy in taking
every dollar of profit made in
violation of the Federal law.
Senator Tydings CD of Mary

bloc, was skeptical.
"How are you going to col
Iect it? Especially in small
towns and cities, where boot
leggerS thrive? 1t took three or
four years and an army of
agents to get AL CapOne. The
Government spent nearly all 1t
obtained in taxes from CapOne
just to convict him."

Administration leaders planned

Outside the Administration
