"YOu and I" at
 WOmen's Club
Little Theatre to Present Barry Comedy Tonight
 and Tomorrow Night

Tonight at the Waterbury Wo- mems club at S:30 the Little The ater will present its second public performance of the season--Philip Barry's You and l." This was the Harvard Prize Play of 1928. It was produced In New York this winter very successfully and Bar ry's name became known as that of q clever and amusing playwright with ideas. You and I" is not n profound play. but 1t has genuine human problcm and It's characters are real people. They talk as real people actually talk and the play moves along with great facility and ease. The story Is interesting and we'll worked out; the lines are amusing. It should be play which wonld appeal to almost any body in Little Theater audiences. They will particularly enjoy seeing actors whom they have liked before in new ro1es---such as Harold Ash worth. Charlotte Rose Peck, John Cassidy and Anne Cowperthwait. It Is also always interesting to sec new players. especially when they are as promising as Annette Mac kay Pyle. Robert Dean and Dewitt

A. L. A. Seeking
 Reduced Fees
Bill Introduced By Thoms Would Cut Registration
 Fifty Per Cent and Add One Cent to Gas Tax

Believing that the old system of high registration fees computed &C., cording to horsepower or piston displacement results in unfair tax ation, the A. l.. A. has filed bill in the Connecticut legislature which, if adopted, will be more equitable than the present fees. It is not claimed that the evil of the present fees will be cured but 1t is thought the rates proposed VIII be more equitable, particularly to small car owners. Under the pres- ent system every pleasure motor vehicle owner pays high registra- ton fee regardless of whether he r',ns his car one thousand miles or twenty thousand miles a year. Re- presentative John D. Thoms of Waterbury has filed the bill at the request of Connecticut Manager Charles B. Butler of the A. l.. A.
 Tn addition to the high registra- ton fee-=the Connecticut motorist pays a state tax of two cents on every gallon of gasoline he uses. In other words, he pays a high initial fee and in addition another fee based upon the distance he travels 1, year. It is realized that any attempt to reduce the revenue to the state would meet with disaster, therefore it was thought best 0 confine present efforts to accom- plish an equitable readjustment of motor vehicle taxes which would do away with the high initial cost of putting a car on the road and yet keep motor vehicle revenue about where 1t is now.
 It so happens that the revenue from motor vehicle fees and from ' the gasoline tax is about equal. In 1881 the revenue from registration fees from pleasure cars equalled s4,738,261 and from the gasoline tax $4,727,903. The fees from the gasoline tax include taxes paid by non-residents, trucks, etc as well as pleasure cars. In other words the 300,763 pleasure cars in 1881 paid m average fee of $1b.74 per vehicle.
 The bill that has been filed pro- vides for a fifty per cent reduction in registration foes on pleasure cars and an increase of one cent in the gasoline tax. On the face of the bill one would naturally con- decreased and the gasoline tax in- creased by the same percentage | the cost to the motorist will be the same as before. This, however. is not quite true. For example, under the present fee system 1t costs $16 to register a four cylinder Ford. On the basis of 10000 miles per year another $12 is paid for a gas o.ine tax, making a total of $2S. Under the proposed system the reg istration fee would be $s and the gasoline tax SIS or a total of $26. If the car was only run 5000 miles q year the total tax under the present system would be $22 and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-01-04

under the proposed system only $17. In other words, every motor ist' will be paying more nearly in proportion to the amount he uses the road.
 Even under the proposed bill he registration fees are unques- tionably too high but 1t is obvious ly better to ask for relief to which t''e motorists are entitled and to which opposition Is not Justified than to ask for that which prob- ally would not be considered. Fur thermore, the motorists of Con- necticut if they will support the A. l.. A. bill, are definitely placing themselves on record as opposing that the gasoline tax be increased, the proceeds to be used for pur-
 oses far removed from motoring.
 Every motorist in Connecticut should support the A. l.. A. In it's ght for lower fees.

HOOVER TO KEEP UP VETO MOOD
 TO THE FINALE
Philippines and Beer Are
 to Be Killed If Possible When He Signs His No
BY FREDERICK 0. OTHMAN United Press Stan Corrcspondent)

BY FREDERICK 0. OTHMAN United Press Stan Corrcspondent)
 Washington. Jan. 4. .(UP)-- President Hoover began the final 60 days of his sojourn in the. White House to-day, while the household began tidying up for the new ten- ant.
 Mir Hoover will spend his re- maining two months at work. de- spite the pounding of hammers and the smell of paint as servants re- furnish the excutivce offices.
 Two major problems awaiting his official attention are the Philip pine Independence bill and possible beer legislation. He apparently has made up his mind against both.
 His veto Is expected soon for the bill by which congress agreed to free the Philippines after 10 years. Another veto seems inevitable If the senate and house get together on a bill legalizlng real beer.
 Mir Hoover unburdened himself yesterday on a third problem, that of economy in government. He said he hoped Mir Roosevelt gets better cooperation from the congress than he did. and predicted that if con- gress doesn't keep "hands off," the presid elects economy program will turn into make-believe. He urged congress to approve his pro- posed reorganlzing of 30 federal agencies, but democratic leaders were determined to leave the re- organization to MT Roosevelt.
 A fourth great question, that of war debts, also is rapidly ceasing to be q worry of Mir Hoover's. AL though he was represented as be- ing adeeply disappointed because he and MT Roosevelt could not agree on future procedure, years actually seemed to lift from Mir Hoover's shoulders as 1t became evident that little could be done about debts until after March 4.

MICHIGAN FIRST
To TAKE VOTE
ON REPEAL

'"The Big Parade" of American
voters on the way to the polls
to ballot on repeal of the Eight
eenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution starts early next month,
Michigan seems certain to lead
the parade, with Wisconsin only
one day behind. Jouett Shouse,
president of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amend,
ment, said yesterday after sur
veying last weeks results by re-
peal forces to bring the. issue to
an early conclusion.
Delegates in 100 Michigan
legislative districts will be elected
on April 3 for a convention to be
held April 10. The Michigan Su-
preme Court denied a petition
challenging the method.
Wisconsin Day Later
Wisconsin's election will be
held April and the convention
April Is. States of Is dele.
gates for and against repeal will
be elected by the State at large,
after being nominated by peti-
tion.
One significant development in
connection with the convention
Set-ups, Shouse said, was the de-
termination of a growing number
Of Southern States to provide
representative Statewide votes.
This has been done in Alabama
and Arkansas, while one branch
of the Texas and the Tennessee
legislatures have approved bills
for the election of delegates at
large.
Shouse gave the situation as to
voting and convention dates in
States which have completed
legislative action on repeal as fol-
lows:

Riding horseback, playing ten,
