HEARING ASKED
ON TAXPLAN

Consideration was being given
by the District Commissioners
today to a request of a local
steamboat company for a public
hearing in the event the commit
tee appointed by the city heads
to study means Of raising addi-
tional taxes delves into the field
Of taxing such companies.
Officials said today that public
hearings will be accorded to all
groups Of business and civic as
sociations affected under the new
tax program. Two courses of
hearings are open: First, which
will likely be followed, hearings
by the Commissioners themselves,
after the committee has made it's
recommendations; the other,
hearings by the committee.
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman was named chairman
Of the committee, which was in
structed to inquire into all fields
Of taxation to raise an additional
$1,50O,000 for municipal revenues.
All forms Of taxation, including
possibility of an increase in the
gasoline tax, will be considered.

who Is After
General Johnson?

To the Editor of The Times:
General johnson has written on
many subjects; Huey Long, Father
Coughlin, the man that has, the
man that hasn't, and the man
that might get in the near future
The citizens of this country who
have been affected, by the ms and
outs, would like for the General
to write of his fall from power
and who was behind his dethrone'
ment. Were his former friends,
Honest John and William, the mo-
tive power behind this minor clerk
Donovan, who served as the means
of labor politicians to GUST him?
From Washington now to New
York, and labor according to press
reports, again is after johnson,
They are now biting the hand that
is trying to feed them. Can it be
the New York leaders? Are they
the real mobsters giving the orders
from Washington? Anyone with
an ounce of intelligence knows the
order is coming from the same
gang who scalped johnson here
after he gave them the keys to the
Blue Eagles roost.
The General is supposed to be a
straight-shooting fearless man, and
we might say he is, if he tells the
American people what labor has
on him, and why he is taking such
a flashing from them.

1t Looks As Though
You Lose Out

To the Editor of The Times:
I work for a corporation which,
I suppose, would be classed as "big
business"
The company has in effect a
system Of retirement pay under
which I, and all other employees,
will be retired after a certain
period Of service and under a
liberal pay. Understand, that
not a penny is deducted from my
salary to accumulate funds for
retirement as is done in the Fed
eral Government service.
The retirement pay is an out
right gift of the company, a pro-
lection given by the company to
me. The retirement pay is not
computed on the basis of when I
was earning a low salary. 1t Is
figured on the salary Of the high
est job I have held with the COM
pany during my service.
Now, would like to know what
right the Federal Government
has to deprive me Of this ad-
vantage. It will deprive me Of it
under which it calls its social
security" law, for the company
cannot maintain the reserves
necessary to support its own re-
tirement system while paying the
excessive tax required under the
security law.
Will someone explain how this
law is going to help me and thou
sands like me? ANXIOUS.

LOST M0SLEN
PRINCESS IS
RUNAWAY

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. IA.
(I.N.S0.-The bitter religious
strife of the middle ages had
been re-fought here today, bring
ing victory to a beautiful 90
year-old Moslem princess, who
won her way to the freedom Of
American Christianity by casting
off the faith of her fathers.
The girl, olive skinned, Rubie
Sale, object of 24-hour police
search here, left with all her
belongings on a train for Los
Angeles it was revealed today.
She had been reported missing
by her father, Prince M. U. M.
Sale, Ceylon gem importer, here
to show his wares at the Cali
fornia Pacific Exposition.
Police Drop Case
The case is closed on the police
blotter-for the girl is Of age and
allowed in this country to go
where she will.
Presiding over his gem exhibit
here is Prince Sale, heartbroken
and lonely. He gave his daughter
everything-money, home, clothes
and she ran away because he
demanded Of her what is paid
willingly by the women of his
homeland.
He, a strict Mohammedan, for.
bade her to talk to anyone besides
himself; refused to allow her to
read books or magazines which
were not Mohammedan; insisted
she work for him as Molsem
women should.
Restraint Too Much
But the girl is half English. Her
mother, who died in Ceylon four
months ago, was Elsie Goldbor.
ough, of Melbourne, Australia, be-
fore her marriage to the Oriental
prince. And Princess Rubie, raised
in the Christian beliefs of her
mother, had been partially educa.
ted in this country. When her
mother died, the princess joined
her father in Florida and for four
months lived under severe Moslem
restraint.
According to neighbors and con.
fidants, discovered by police here;
she decided to flee the oriental
influence more than two months
ago.
Then she made the break. With
q girl friend, unknown to her
father, she left with the pitiful
sum of $50, presumably to join her
mothers people in London.
Her father cannot understand.

Extra Bus Charges
Thev Will Breed Confusion

The objections which Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
is raising to the order of the Public Utilities Commission
allowing encent fare the Takoma Park express bus
line sound
Also they Importance all sections of the city, their
value not being confined to those who would paronze the
service recently ordered by the Public Utilities Com
mission.
AS Mr.. Roberts has pointed out the operating company
is allowed to put extra charge for this special Takoma
Park service precedent would be established which would
extra charges other express services which may
be found necessary in the future.
Should this procedure follow there would be the greatest
confusion.
It will be recalled that when two street companies
operated here before the merger the Public Utilities Com
mission constantly refused to establish different rates of fare
for the two lines This mainly the ground that the
dferental would work to the disadvantage of the
companies and to the advantage of the other
But there also in mind at that time the that diff
fren rates the two companies would confusion and
hardship for the riders
In establishing the express service to Takoma Park the
Commission simply giving the residents Of that community
the service they deserve.
There is for taxing them extra for what the
transit company should be glad to give.

Filling School Buildings
Before They Are Built

superintendent of Schools Frank W. Baou speaking at the
meeting Of the American University Park Citizens Association
is quoted saying that the Bureau of the Budget
include estimates for school buildings the budget unless
it be shown that the buildings will be filled from go
80 per cent Of their capacity upon completion.
That probably reveals the inner story why city like
Washington is struggling along with INADEQUATE pub
lie school system.
Such attitude the part of the Bureau of the Budget
makes impossible to keep abreast Of the school needs Of
PEblc school offcsls can+ n~arantea that bv1dr mill
be than half filled open but that doesn
mean that there isn't GENUINE NEED for the building
which they seek.
The trouble with Washington is that of its present
school buildings overcrowdd and under the dctaon

preparations with which to relieve the congestion.
We aren't providing adequately for those now attending

you are. You think of yourself
as inhabiting a certain body,
living in certain place, bear

That, you believe, is your life.
WIDER EXPERIENCE
But these wise men believed

That, they said, was merely

Your real self stretched far
beyond your body-was aware
of things which lay entirely

Often you know that some
one has come into the room.
You haven't seen them come.
You didn't hear them. Then
how do you know they are
there? Through that wider
self which stretches, ghostlike
but keenly alive, outside the
body, the wise men decided.
A strange and fascinating
theory. Is it true? Nobody
