TAX|S ARE SAVED
LICENSE DELAY
Compliance With New Rates
and Zones to Be De-
manded.

Licenses for taxicab operations for
the new fiscal year will be issued be-
ginning tomorrow, but only with the
stipulation that all operators agree to
abide by the uniform rates and zones
to be ordered later in the month by
the Public Utilities Commission.
The date for the public hearing on
zones and rates has been postponed
from July to July 8. The commits
sion had decided to issue no new
licenses between July and Is, and to
place the deadline for 1885 licenses at
July Is. 1t planned to make its uni
form rates and zones effective July Is.
Company Opposes Delay.
The problem then arose as to how
so many new licenses could be issued
in 10 days and counsel for one COM
pany served notice it would have new
cabs ready for use this week and
pleaded against delay in new licenses.

ton that the licensee will conform

Provision Of 1886 Act.
The point is that the provision of
the 1896 District appropriation act
giving the Utilities Commission power
to require uniform rates and zones is
stated as a prohibition against the use
of its appropriation for the licensing
of any cabs except in accordance with
uniform rates and zones which shall
have been prescribed by the COM

DISTRICT LIQUOR
BILL IS MODIFIED
Senate Committee Ready to
Report House Measure
Tomorrow.

After working out modified plan
for requiring retail liquor establish
ments to obtain their supplies from
local wholesalers, the Senate District
Committee was ready yesterday to
report favorably to the Senate the
House bill making this and nine other
changes in the local liquor law
Chairman King probably will file the
report tomorrow.
The controversy over whether to
restrict the importation of stocks of
wet goods from other cities delayed
action on the measure after hear
ing last week. There was no dispute
over other features of the bill.
Monopoly Is Feared.
AS it passed the House, the bill
made it mandatory on retailers to
purchase from wholesalers in the Dis
trict. The report drafted yesterday
by the Senate committee points out,
however, that the Commissioners felt
such a statutory restriction would
give rise to the possibility of a mo-
nopoly.
The modified amendment confers
on the Commissioners discretionary
authority to apply such a restriction
by regulations that could be revoked
or changed if found necessary. The
compromise further provides that If
the Commissioners applied the restric-
tion, the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board could at the same time be
empowered to issue, upon application,
special permits to retailers for the
importation of supplies from outside
the District under specified terms and
conditions.
This latter provision would make 1t
possible, for instance, for the board to
grant permits for importation of
brands not available locally. The Sen
ate report states that the Commis-
sioners and the A. B. c. Board favor
the proposed restriction in the inter-
est of enforcement and point out that
such a restriction is in the laws of all
except two of the States that have
adopted the private license system of
liquor control
Other Changes in Bill.
Among the other changes the bill
makes in the liquor law are the fol-
lowing:
To allow the A. B. c. Board to sus-
pend licenses as well as to revoke
them; to prohibit patrons in ION sale"
places from buying drinks within the
legal hours of sale and consuming
them after those hours; to reduce the
tax on wine from 35 to 10 cents a
gallon. and on champagne from so to
IS cents a gallon; to simplify the
method of collecting the tax on liquor
sold in railroad dining cars or on
passenger boats; to increase the pen
alties for second and third offenses
of intoxication; to strike out the ban
against employing as a dispenser OF
beverages any person who was con-
victed within the last five years of
a miSdemeanor under the national
prohibition act, and a few other minor
amendments.
The Senate Committee also will file
tomorrow a favorable report on the
resolution authorizing the Commits
sioners to expend $35, 900 on necessary
public order arrangements during the
conventions of the Colored Elks and
the Colored Shriners, both of which
organizations will meet here the latter
part of August.

Lashing out at big boys and the fat

whom he included in that class, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace

people in the United States, who feel
that I'VE can set up an isle of refuge
in America" are doomed to disap-

Citing the lack of foreign markets
for agricultural products, Wallace de-
clared it may be necessary to take out

as was taken out in 1884.
He asserted that lit is important
to have a full understanding Of the
forces at work in the world, no matter
what Government Is in power In
Washington"
We live IN well-populated world,
he said, but I'VE are not equipped to
live together. We retain some of the
bad habits of the pioneers. Some Of
these habits, he said. win be 'fbar-
barian" o hundred years hence.
