MAPES TAX BILLS
HELD TYRANNY
Richmond Park Citizens Vote
to Back Federation in
Fighting Increases.

Branding the Mapes bills for in
creased taxation as tyranny" the
Richmond Park Citizens Association
last night voted to lend its support and
active backing in the fight the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations is making
against the measures.
The resolution left it to the fedora
tion group to determine the best method
of attacking the bills and to decide
what modification Of the report now
before Congress would best adapt it to
eouitably meet the increased taxation
needs of the District. This action
places the Richmond Park Association
in line with a long list of similar or
ganizations which have gone on record
in a vigorous diSapproval of the Mapes
bills.
Not Equitable or Just.
at is not equitable or just that the
citizens of washington should be called
upon to support almost in their entirety
the tremendous holdings Of the Federal
Government in the District Of Colum-
bia," said J. w. McGarry, who led the
attack on the bills. The United States
Government is not bearing its just
share of this expense, and this it should
do before calling upon us for more
money in taxes.
THE fact that the ways proposed for
securing additional income under the
Mapes bills are manifestly unfair does
not tend 10 lessen the feeling Of an
tagonism with which the bills are con-
templated by the taxpayer"
The Department Of Commerce will
be called upon to investigate allegations
49, aSY ryia ir %raf
laws in, flying too low over the Rich
mond Park section, following complaint
by DR.. Homer Curtis that the noise Of
low-f1ying planes has interfered with
the recovery of sick persons under his
care. The ships, he said, fly at alti-
tudeS over the residential section that
are not only annoying but dangerous
as well.
Ask Recreational Facilities.
A petition will also be presented to
the District Commissioners asking for
additional recreation facilities in the
locality, with a view to securing for
park purposes nearby timber land that
at present is standing idle. At the
same time request will be made that
Porter street be extended to connect
with the Rock Greek Park boulevard
system to afford new automobile out
let to the business section. Petition
will also be made for cleaning up the
area at Thirty street, Quebec
street and Idaho avenue and the tri-
angle at Thirty-fourth street and Reno
road, and a traffic light will be re-
quested at the intersection of Porter
street and Connecticut avenue.
There was no contest at the annual
election of officers, and George L. Buck
man was reelected president of the
association, w. M. Sparhawk vice presi-
dent, G. E. Clark secretary and w. j.
Calnan treasurer.

COURT SCANDAL

u. S. Judge Is Charged
With ReCeivership Racket.

WASHINGTON. May 30.-While
a senate committee was worrying
over charges OF receivership excuses
against Federal Judge wilkerson by
union labor leaders, another receiv-
ership scandal vas charged before
the house.
Representative F. n. La Guardia
(Rep.. N. ". has introduced a res
olution calling upon the house to
name a committee Of five members
to investigate an alleged receiver
ship racket exposed by the Scripps-
Howard News in San Francisco in
connection with Federal Judge Har-
old Louderback of the northern CAL
iforna district. The formal charges
against Louderback will be laid by
La Guardia before the house judi
ciary committee Tuesday.
The Louderback affair has been
the subject of several Investigations
in San Francisco. Loudenback,
nominee OF Senator Shortridge and
Coolidge appointee. Is accused of
having named Shortridge's son as
receiver and allowed him and his
associates excessive fees in a num-
Der Of cases in equity.
The federal court Of appeals
sharply has criticised Louderback's
conduct. In one case. the state
insurance commissioner started suit
to set aside receivership named
by Louderback on the ground that
he improperly turned A fat appoint
ment over to one of Shortridge's
friends instead of permitting the
state official to administer the in
surance company without fee.
