FEDERATION OPENS
FIGHT ON TAX RISE
Committee Named to Help
Commissioners With 1886
Estimates.

Faced with apparently determined
opposition to increased taxation and
the desire for increased Capital ex-
peditures, the Federation Of Citizens
Associations at meeting at the Dis
trict Building board room last night
named special committee to confer
with the District Commissioners and
help them work out the 1896 estimates.
The committee was given a mandate
that the federation would oppose any
increase above the $3.50 tax rate on
real estate at this time.
The debate on taxation was touched
off by Harry N. Stull, chairman of
the federation's Education Commit
tee. who contended the press had mis-
represented him as stating the feder-
alton would approve an increase in
taxes.
L. A. Carruthers said he knew the
Commissioners were considering two
alternative methods of increasing
taxes of the District. One scheme,
he said, was to raise the real estate
rate from $3.50 to S1.60. The other
was to increase the gasoline tax from
2 cents to cents per gallon. The
new gas tax to be proposed, he said,
would apply to all gasoline sales. The
present tax is limited to sales for use
in automobiles. He also said it would
be proposed to make the new gas tax
a part of the general fund instead Of
earmarking it for street work.
Position Told Commissioners.
Mr.. Stull said that at his appear
ance before the Commissioners at
their hearings on the 1886 budget, he
was put through croSs-examination
during the course of which, he told
the Commissioners, the federation fa-
vored an increase in the Federal con-
tribution to the cost of running the
District "to its fair share" He said
he had told them that If after the
Federal contribution had been so in
creased the city still needed money
for the capital expenditures which the
federation desired, he believed the
federation would not object to an in
crease in taxation.
1T is no use to kid ourselves" said
Mr.. Stull, there is no Santa Claus.
If we want new schools built and new
libraries, we have to pay for them. If
we 60 down to the Commissioners and
say we want more schools and more
libraries, but do not increase taxes, we
are just making ourselves ridiculous.
1.-The time has come for us to help
the Commissioners out by some ad-
vice as to where to get the money to
do the things we want done"
George E. Sullivan then moved that
special committee be appointed to
confer with the Commissioners on
the entire question of taxation. He
said such a committee would be able
to show conclusively that Washing
