ALLEN To- ISSUE
MILK TICKETS

Determined to increase con.
sumption by families on relief rolls,
Commissioner George E. Allen to.
day formulated plans for the dis
tribution of tickets to be ex.
changed for milk by needy families.
Operation of these plans is being
held up until tomorrow when the
weekly relief checks will be dis
t1'ibuted. Local dairy representa-
tives plan to canvass the majority
of the persons on relief for sale of
milk at 10 cents a quart.
This price was made possible
when the Maryland-Virginia Milk
Producers Association agreed to
sell surplus" milk at "a cents a
gallon.
Mrs. John Boyle, jr, chairman
of the washington Consumers
Council, told the association yes
terday that reduction in milk
prices should be taken out of the
profit margins of the dairles and
not from the farmer.
Local dairies soliciting sales of
10-cent milk from relief families
have obtained few orders, most
of those solicited saying they
have no money with which to
buy.

REPTILE At zoo
ON FOOD STRIKE.
By R1LLA SCHROEDER

BY RILLA SCHROEDER
A note to you girls who try to
reduce on weak tea, toast and or.
ange juice-the bushmaster out at
the local Zoo completely eclipses
any three of you.
Old BUSHES" a reptile from
Trinidad, with a fine reputation
for being bad. Very poisonous, in.
deed, are snakes of this breed. A
sourpan who packs a sting, this
"Rushie" bites like anything.
So, be this a build-up as it may,
the snatchers got this snake me
day he wasn't feeling on the ball.
They shipped him up here, sting
and all.
Every NICE" said DR.. Mann,
looking over sourpan. welcome
to our local Zoo. Make yourself
at home, please do"
Registering great dislike, "Old
Bushie" went on a hunger strike.
Nothing is quite good enough
for rare reptile in a huff. But
stuffily he eschews tidbits cal
culated to enthuse his sinuous
nonentity; he starves in deep
serenity.
He will not go for nice fat
mice. He scorns his dish of but
tered rice. Even at flies his eye.
brows arch (You may be right
they may have starch). So set
is he on getting slim, nothing
tasty pleaSes him.
He just sits down from head to
tail, adamant, beyond the pale
of well bred captive animals,
such as you see in carnivals.
He'll sit like that six months or
more, albeit he'll finish a little
sore as any marathon sitter
should-especially if he sits on
wood.
Less picturesque than statu-
esque, this study in reptilian
wrath lives, getting thin and
shedding skin. This is the only
aftermath.
MORAL
Inert elegance is achieved by
"Old Bushie," bereaved. His ma
ture still is very bad. How are
the folks in Trinidad?

SEEK DRASTIC
REVISION Of
SYSTEM
Federation Committee Offers
6-Point Plan at Farley; Sug-
uest Sales, Luxury Levy

Special taxes to be earmarked
for relief purposes were advocated
by budget committee Of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations
who appeared before the District
Commissioners today.
Presenting six-point program
which would entail radical over
hauling of the tax system OF the
District, in connection with the
1896 budget, the citizens group
requested the Commissioners to
consider a general sales tax or lux
ury tax, the proceeds to be used
for relief to local needy families.
Yaden Heads Group
Headed by James G. Yaden,
President of the federation, the
committee included Mrs. Elizabeth
T. Sullivan, William Mckinley
Clayton and L. A. Carruthers.
The following measures con-
stitute the budget platform of
the federation:
Increased taxation Of public
utilities; assessments on property
at so per cent of its sale value,
instead of the present 100 per
cent; curb on relief eXpendi-
lures; a larger payment by the
Federal Government and no eX-
emptions of taxes for national
and other organizations, unless
they are strictly religious, chari
table or educational
WOul1 Help d. C.
It was pointed out by fedora
ton members that if property
were assessed at one.half it's sale
value and the tax increased to
SO a hundred, District spokes-
men would be better aoie to ask
for an increase in the Federal
appropriation
Although this would mean no
increase in tax payments, it
would bring the assessment basis
in the District on a parity with
the States.
The estate tax sought by the
citizens provides that of the taxes
now paid to the Federal govern
ment, 80 percent would be turned
over to the District. 1t would
place no burden on the taxpayer.
Would Tax Utilities
In connection with taxation of
public utilities, the Federation is
is favor of the utility groups
paying receipt taxes for the
privilege of using the streets and
for the monopoly, and in addi-
ton should pay personal property
taxes like any other corpora
tion.
The Federation group Is in
favor of a complete investigation
to see whether there is any prop
erty now exempt which should
be on the tax list.

Farley Hears Plea for Exten-
sion of Railway Plan to
Labor Generally

An appeal for old-age pensions
not only for railway employe;
but for all labor, was made today
at convention of the AsSo
ciation of Surgeons of the Penn
Sylvania Railroad at the Willard
Hotel.
Considered important in the
light of the recent action Of
the District Supreme Court ir
declaring the Railway Retirement
Act unconstitutional, the appea
was made by DR.. A. w. Colcord
of Clarion, Pa.
Asks Aid For All
He said:
Something must be done for
all those growing old in in
dustry-nOt only for railway
workers, but for all the A.
100000 workers in the United
States.
"There are too many old
workers in almShOuses, hos
pitals, and old peoples homes,
too many selling ShOeStrings
and lead pencils on the corner,
too many begging"
The speaker looked for re
suits from the Presidents com
mittee on economic security
which is to devise methods o1
establishing a contributory sys
tenn for old age pensions whereby
the employers, employees, AND
Government would pay pre-
miums to aid aged workers.
Court AnnulS Act
On Wednesday, the District Su
preme Court held that the Rail
way Retirement Act passed by the
last Congress was unconStitutional
because it amounted to taking
property of the companies with
out due process of law. The act
provides that 2 per cent Of EN-
ployeS' salaries be deducted ano
twice that amount be contributed
by the companies for establish
ment Of a retirement system.
The surgeons convention was
addressed also by DR.. Warren F.
Draper, Assistant Surgeon General
of the United States Public Health
Service. The sessions will end to
morrow with a clinic at Walter
Reed Hospital.
