- WHHHNR AHNAN
Project Already Contains
5000 Acres, Tax Free Be-
cause of U. S. Ownership

With a Federal agricultural de-
: velopment project in Prince
: Georges county about one-fourth
as large as the District of Colum-
bia, tax free because it is Govern
ment-owned, Prince Georges citi-
=; zens and officials are beginning to
agitate for Federal grant to re-
place. the taxes "lost" when the
land became federally owned.
The project, near Beltsville, al
ready contains more than 5000
acres, about half of which was
purchased during 1888 and which
will be taken off the county tax
books this year for the first time.
U. s. Buys Land
Land purchased by the Federal
Government alone was assessed at
$106,975. The county tax rate
was $1.O8 last year and may be
raised for the coming tax year,
while the Federal farm project
may entail purchases three times
as large as for 1888.
Budget officials are facing
particularly trying problem in the
Seventeenth district, says Thomas
Baxter, supervisor of assessments,
with much of the land owned by
religious and educational institu-
tions, which also are tax free up
to 40 acres for each institution.
Officials indicated that they
will reverse the Anne Arundel
county ruling that all persons on
Government land are exempt
from taxes, even on automobiles.
The only ruling of this sort in
Prince Georges is for Fort Wash
ington, and Mr.. Baxter contends
that only officers can evade tax
alton there.
Test Case Sought
Mr.. Baxter indicated that he
would insist on the ruling and
face q test case, should it be nee
essary, to back legally his inter-
probation of the law.
The Federal Government pur-
chased total of 4,631 acres in
the last three years, having a
total assessment of $155, ,465, ac-
cording to records in Mr.. Bax-
ter's office.

Shaft of First Steamboat
Marks Farm Boundary

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Jan. 25.
The owner of the Wetzel farm
near Libertytown is preserving, as
q valuable relic, an iron shaft cast
at Catoctin furnace for James
Rumsey's first steamboat, about
140 years ago.
Since an attempt was made to
steal the shaft several years ago,
it has been imbedded in concrete
and set up on the farm to mark
a boundary line. The shaft is
about eight feet long and six
@icheS in diameter
Various owners of the farm
handed down the story that Rum
sey had the shaft cast at Catoc-
tin Furnace, where cannon were
made for the Revolutionary Army.
The shaft that has been preserved
had a defect and was rejected by

Bullet in Brain,

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Jan.
25.-Living since December IL
with a rifle bullet in his brain,
Luther Lamb, IA, son of Mr..

city, died in a hospital here
yesterday.
The boy was shot from be-
hind by an unknown assailant,
the bullet entering the right
side of the head. Death was
expected momentarily, but the
lad rallied. Death eventually
was caused by infection.
Following the boys death
the bullet was removed and
turned over to state police,
who have been investigating
the shooting. Whether it COM
pares with bullets being fired
by a youth at target practice
in the vicinity the same after
noon that Lamb was struck

SALES TAX BLOC
WINS. z MORE
MEMBERS
Representatives Robinson and
Claiborne to Back Revenue
Measure

Persons best able to pay taxes
are those who should bear the
burden of taxation, believes Repre-
sentative James R. Claiborne
(D0, of Missouri.
That is why he said today he
would favor passage of a manufac-
turers' sales tax, providing it ex-
empted certain obvious necessities
of life.
Claiborne, the congressional di-
rectory reveals, was elected to the
present Congress by 1,004,170
votes, which, with one exception,
was the greatest number of votes
cast for any successful candidate
to the Seventy-third Congress.
The sales tax as purely an emer-
gency measure today also won the
support of Representative J. Will
Robinson CD, of Utah.
Robinson is another neophyte
Congrc man brought to Washing
ton by the Democratic landslide
of 1882. He is a former school
teacher, lawyer, county food ad-
miniStrator, and Democratic choice
for Utah'S attorney general.
co: lmenting on Utah's expert
ence with the sales tax, he said:
1--WE have had a two per cent
sales tax on manufacturers for
some time now in order to raise
funds for relief work and it GER
tainly has produced results. 1t
has proved a most effective way
to raise funds.
Normally l am not in favor
of either a State or Federal sales
tax, but in time of national
emergency it is proper to resort
to it for such time as is abso-
lutely necessary"

Quarrel Over Girl
Leads to SLGying

WINCHESTER, Va, Jan. 25.
William Flynn, 25, is dead from

charged with his murder. is in
Warren county Jail, in Front
Royal, following a quarrel last
night involving a girl, Josephine
Flynn, niece of the dead man.
All parties are colored and live

The Flynn girl is said to have
occupied a house with Lewis, and
to have entertained another male
visitor. Informed of this. Lewis
procured a Single-barreled shot
gun and returned to the house.
Flynn became engaged in an ar
gument with Lewis who, it is
charged, leveled the gun and shot
Flynn in the abdomen, and later
fired a second shot into his head.

NRA Policies Lead to Upsets
In Labor Union Ranks

Whether traditional trade union
ism or vertical unionization shall
be the future policy of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is becom-
ing the principal matter before
the general legislative council,
now in session at the Carpenters
Building.
The NRA is largely responsible
for the ferment in labor ranks,
for, under the National Industrial
Recovery Act, organization of
workmen is encouraged, but the
forms it shall take are not pre-
scribed. AS consequence, juris-
dictional conflicts between the
older unions and the new ones
coming into existence under the
act have been numerous, and the
problem is now resolving itself
into a question whether vertical
organization shall supersede the
traditional type.
A special committee named to
consider procedure at the confer
ence reported today through its
chairman, Matthew Woll, that or
ganization is the prime essential
and that unionization activities of
all types must continue in bring
ing workers nto organizations
neither controlled nor influenced
by employers.
It appeared today that the
federation and the NRA will come
to terms, and that Gen. Hugh S.
johnson would give some of his

the first man to give a practical

ton. His steamboat made a sue
cesSful trip on the Potomac River
at Shepherdstown on December 3,
1887. The boat made four miles
an hour and travelled up and
down the river several times, &C
cording to records.
The demonstration was made,
it is claimed, some time before

FLEMING WINS
CLUB AWARD

For his activities during the
national bank holiday, Robert v.
Fleming, president of Riggs Ma
tional Bank, today was awarded
the distinguished service medal
of the Cosmopolitan Club of
Washington.
The exercises, which were
staged at the weekly luncheon
meeting of the club at the Carl
ton Hotel were broadcast over
station WRC. The presentation
was made by DR.. j. Rozier BiggS,
who several years ago, while
president of the club, inaugurated
the custom of presenting a medal
annually to the Washington res
ident, who, during the previous
year, had performed the most
unselfish and outstanding SER
vice to the community.
DR.. Biggs recalled Fleming's
service during the bank crisis,
pointing out that not only had
he worked night and day, but
also had turned over the Riggs
National Bank as headquarters
for the District of Columbia
Bankers Association and the
Clearing House Association, and,
in addition, had provided space
for examiners of the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corporation so that
they could quickly pass on ap-
plications of various banks for
l0anS.
