relieve several score filling station pro-
prietors in nearby Virginia from some
Of the vicissitudes Of a keenly COM
petitive business-and furnish such re-
lief by imposing additional taxation on
the unrepresented local community Of
Washington. The proposal is all the
more remarkable because it suggests an
entirely new theory in taxation. That
theory Is this: When local taxes in one
community are lower than in an ad-
be equalized by raising taxes to the
highest level. 1t would be interesting
to put that theory to the test between
two communities in which the tax
payers were also voters; between Mary
land and Virginia, for instance, where
the proposition would be to raise Mary
lands gasoline tax to the Virginia level.
While it is proposed in Mr.. Smith s
bill to resort to the Objectionable prac-
tice of making gas-tax revenues avail
able for general fund use. no attempt
more gasoline tax revenues in the Dis
trict. or that any shortage in such rev.
enues is at present existing. The facts,
of course, are quite to the contrary.
Gasoline and other taxes are collected
from the people of the District, but are
allowed to accumulate unspent in sur
A. ,f
surplus revenue exists there can be no
justifable increase in any tax. And
while this measure proposes that the
increased gas tax be substituted for
other forms Of taxation. the District
has been taught from bitter experience
that while substitute taxation" is gen.
erously proposed additional taxation"
is generally the result.
The filling station proprietors In
nearby Virginia, like their brethren on
the borders Of other high taxing States.
may suffer from competition. Their
suffering heretofore has been recog-
nized by the wealthy oil companies, who
absorbed the gas tax differentials, or
by the State government. which gave
them direct assistance. This is prob
ably the first case on record in which
it is proposed to help the filling station
proprietors of one jurisdiction by
boosting taxes in another jurisdiction.
And it is the only place in the world,
certainly, where such a proposal would
be made.

into the confines Of Louisiana ever
though his policies have been under
the Long attack. The administration
turned down Long on all matters OF
Federal patronage. Then Mr.. Long had
an unfortunate personal encounter with
an unknown at a Long Island club
last Summer, giving rise to the Nation
wide query, Who socked Huey Long?''
This did not enhance his standing.
Then came an open revolt against
Long in the sixth congressional dis
trict. where the Long machine sought to
elect Mrs. Bolivar Kemp to succeed her
late husband as a member of the
House, without the preliminary Of q
party primary. The rebellion of the
people against these tactics was quite
open and was accompanied by some
violence. And the other day the House
itself upheld the revoiters, declining
fatty to seat Mrs. Kemp, although she
came bearing the certificate of election
signed by the Long Governor Of the
State.
The report Of the Senate Committee,
although it did not make direct attack
on Long, did excoriate conditions in the
State and declare that the Long ma
chine was in control while the rottenest
political conditions imaginable were ex-
isting. 1t was anything but flattering
report for the "Kingfsh." The COM
mittee had visited Louisiana to inquire
into the senatorial election of 1882. when
the Long candidate. Senator Overton,
was elected with the aid of the Long
machine.
And now Long Is in the process OF
crushing defeat in that political strong
hold. New Orleans, and the revolt
against his leadership has reached city
and rural district alike. His own term
in the Senate does not expire until
1887, however. and there he will
sit for the next three years unless
the charges of fraud and corruption
brought against him bring results in
the Upper House. On the other hand,
the "peepul,' whose special representa-
tive Mr. Long has dubbed himself. seem
to have his number.

Hooked

The "Kingfish'' has been hooked. At
least that is the burden of the reports
from Louisiana, where yesterday the
voters trod with considerable force on
the candidates of Senator Huey P. Long
IN the election of mayor and other city
officials in New Orleans. 1t was a
three -cornered race, with the Long op-
position divided. Even under such con-
ditions the mayoralty candidate backed
by the Long machine Klorer, is running
well back Of Mayor T. S. Walmsley
candidate of the "old regulars" Of the
Democratic party, while Williams, an
iudependent candidate of the anti-Long
faction, Is running not far behind
Klorer. The combined anti-Long vote
Of both factions is almost 2l2 to
against the "Kingfish." The law requires
o majority vote to elect. and unless the
later returns give Walmsley still longer
lead over his opponents another pri-
mary will be necessary.
And now comes from the throat of
the senior OeIldIOT 1iOIu bOulSAdIld q
Macedonian roar. The election, he
shouts, has been stolen" Forty thou
sand illegal votes, he says. have been
cast and the power trust has spent
millions to beat him. A committee OF
the Senate recently reported that po-
Mtical conditions in Louisiana, and IN
New Orleans especially. were stencil
in the nostrils, fraud upon the peo-
pie, and that the Long machine was
the dominating faction in the State. In
the light of that report. the cry OF
fraud raised now by the self-styled
'Kingfsh" will cause the shedding OF
few tears, except by Mr.. Long Mr..
Long. 1t appears. is not good loser
He is not able to take it.
The revolt against Long has beer
growing rapidly in recent months ano
the "breaks" have all been against the

To Aid Filling Stations.

Representative Smiths gasoline tax
boosting bill for the District of Colum-
bia should appropriately be labeled:
For the relief of filling station pro-
prietors in nearby Virginia" That is
the purpose Of the bill, and its other
proposals, such as diversion of gas tax
revenues to the general fund, are purely
incidental.
In these hard times taX-boosting
legislation has no chance Of success In
representative assemblies Of the people
unless the demands for additional tax
revenues cannot be delayed and must
be met Immediately. The tendency
everywhere is to lessen, not increase,
the burden Of taxation, which, during
the depression, has become more un-
bearable than ever.
But Mr.. Smiths bill is altogether
different. Here is serious proposal to
Evening star., 1934-01-24

Just a few days ago we mentioned
here the proximity of Spring. despite
the fact that it seemed very Winter.
Well, the days have passed, and 1t
seems, and is, closer still to outdoor
gardening.
One may begin, In fact, right now,
as few have.
Only the other day we noticed the
gardener of large estate out spread
ing lime on lawn which last Summer
burned up in the heat.
Whether lime is the remedy. or not
is a question. but at least it gives one
the feeling of doing something.
Just doing something, often enough
is highly satisfactory to the individual
Human beings we're made for action
as life is movement.
In gardening. sometimes. there Is a
real satisfaction in getting out ard
doing something, even If it is too early
As q matter of fact, 1t Is not at all
too early to strew agricultural lime over
lawns which need 1t.
Perhaps there Is more faith needed
in this, than in any other gardening
matter One puts on lime, but does II
do any good?
Surely the average home gardener
no matter how many books or maya
zines he has. is not in a position to
know positively whether or not lining
Is worth while.
The real benefit OF it, so far as we
can find out. lies In a change which
it brings about in the soil, making such
nutriment as is already there more
available to the plant growth. whatever
it may be.
This Is the underlying effect it has
on poor lawns. There can be little
doubt that often enough such an addi-
tion to poor lawn Is very helpful.
y +
Among the many things which may
be added to a lawn which is not as
good as 1t might be, some agricultural
lime is one of the best.
And this is the appointed time.
Right now. or little later.
February is perhaps better. but really
there is no magic in an exact date: in
fact. there isn't any; the only thing to
keep in mind is to sprinkle it on in
time to permit it to do its cleaving
permeating work in the soil.
This will mean that rains and frost
TnuSL 90 LIlelT part, tieEelOlc Ilic lIiiic
must be on while these phenomena still
may be expected.
II ~
Lining such soil as needs it. then
is one of the great February tasks.
Another one. and probably more
important one, since it will include
more gardens, Is that Of pruning the
rose bushes.
No time is as good as February for
this.
Any bright day, when one feels in
the mood, will do. There Is no magic
in this, either, but just common sense.
~ ~
The point in selecting February
rather than in March. is to be able to
prune before the leaf buds begin to
swell.
The swelling Of the buds shows that
all the vital processes of the bush have
begun, although few of them may be
discerned at the time.
II the pruning is done before the
buds start, there is no wrench to the
organism at all. 1t is dormant. and
therefore does not feel the cutting.
II pruning is done after the life OF
the new year begins again, no doubt
there is wrench given the bush which
is not at all imagination. but quite
real.

Recognition for Cuba.

Col Carlos Mendleta mas Deen
promptly recognized by the United
States as president of Cuba-a course
which will command lively approval
In this country because by every pres
ent indication the new regime in
Havana promises at last to restore po-
itical tranquility and economic sta
bility in the island after months OF
devastating unrest.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hull determined to accord the Men
dieta government recognition after ad-
vices from Mr.. Caffery that it enjoys
adequate support of widely diversified
elements, as we'll as of the army and
navy. Prior to the formal act Of
recognition Mr.. Roosevelt invited the
Washington representatives of the
other American republics to confer at
the White House, in order to assure
himself that our impending action had
their approval. 1t was graceful ex-
qualification Of the new good neigh
Dor" touch which the President has
applied to our Latin American rela-
tions.
With Mr.. Caffery's formal accession
% ambassadorial rank at Havana and
Senor Sterlingts return to Washington
As Cuban Ambassador the stage will be
formally set for a new era of normal
Cuban American relations.
The American people are profoundly
thankful that, after all, it proved pos
sible for the United States to avert
intervention in Cuba Doubtless 1t
could have been justified on more than
one occasion after Machado's over
throw last August and during the cha
otic Fall and Winter that ensued. The
anti American elements throughout
Latin America which increasingly croak
about the imperialistic designs Of Uncle
Sam In that region have had an object
lesson from our restraint in the Cuban
crisis that should enlighten them
The last prop will be taken from
under our detractors among the sister
Americas II it proves feasible relatively
coon to carry out the suggestion Of
President Roosevelt looking to the
modification, If not the abrogetion, of
the Platt amendment. President Men
dieta Is man of force, liberalism and
unquesttonable integrity. He has sur
rounded himself with cabinet of
trustworthy and high-minded Cuban
statesmen. II they develop the capac-
ity and courage to suppress extremists
and trouble makers and keep them in
check, then all occasion for perpetual
ton Of the Platt amendment will auto
natically vanish It Is distinctly the
task Of Cuba itself and its new rulers
to demonstrate the uselessness of that
article Of the islands constitution.
Certainly little objection to its repeal
under such circumstances will be forth
coming from the United States
Various economic factors enter into
the other matter on which Cuba lays
vital stress-new trade arrangements
with this country regarding sugar. But
with political stability on the island
once assured. neither the sugar quota
nor the sugar tariff, soon to be ques-
lions Of negotiation between the two
governments, should prove insoluble.
