New Taxes Hit
By President

President Roosevelt is opposed
to any new or additional taxes for
the fiscal year 1886, he said in de-
|livering his budget message to Con-
gress.
This was taken to indicate that
the Administration will frown on
the attempts to impose an addi-
tional income tax on District resi-
dents, as advocated by Senator
William H. King, .Dem.), of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee.
| Such a tax measure would con-
stitute not only a new tax, but
would take millions of dollars out
of the pockets of District wage
earners and business men, tax
authorities have pointed out.
In the Presidents message, he
stated he does not feel it advis-
able to propose any new or addl-
tional taxes at this time.
The budget, submitted to Con
gress with the message, contains
the 1886 budget for the District
of Columbia and makes no men,
ton of the income tax.
1t fixes the ''lump sum" appro-
patton from the Federal Govern
ment toward the cost of local
government at $5,70o,o00, the
same figure as for this year.
The $5,7o0ooo given by the Fed
eral Government this year con-
%stitutes only IS per cent of the
cost of municipal government.
while under the law Congress is
obligated to pay 40 per cent.
The 1886 budget sets estimated
revenues and receipts for the
District at $33,l00,0OO and ex-
penditures of $41,S00,o 900, leaving
a deficit of $4,000
This will be met by the Federal
contribution of $5,700,000 and a
decrease in the working balance
of $3,OOO,OOO to balance the bud
get.
Real estate, with an assessed
value of $1,135,oo0 900, will carry
the principal tax burden of the
District, with a levy of $685.
900 and an estimated revenue Of
SIS, 100000, including payments
of taxes in default.
Tangible property assessed al
100000 and paying a tax Of
$50 per 500, is expected tt
yield $1,05O,0O0.
Intangible personal property
assessed at $3.50, 100000 and pay
ing a rate of SO cents per 500, il
expected to net the District 81
100000 as against a levy of ST.
10000.
Senator King had advocated
that this intangible tax be repealed
and the income tax substituted
Tax authorities differ with him in
this, asserting it would be unfair
to exempt this great sum from taxa
ton.
Other sources of estimated in
come for the District are: Public
utilities and banks, 1865, 900;
licenses, 1925, 900; gasoline tax,
$2,050,000; water rates, $780,
900.
The budget hits at the total Of
uncollected taxes in the District
and recommends that steps be taken
to collect these delinquent taxes or
to write them off the collectors
books.
AT the close of the fiscal year
1884, it is pointed out, the total
of uncollected realty taxes was
$4,639,ooo. While the major part
of this sum was delinquent since
1929, some dates as far back as
1877.
OF the collection of delinquent
taxes in 1884, non were prior to
1926 and there was only a small
and Insignificant collection" on
the years 1926-1930.

Urges Care for Pets

To the Editor of The Times:
I want to thank you for the
following item which appeared in
The Washington Times of July /.
Although brief. it is excellent and
speaks volumes: Fourth of July

It was kind and thoughtful of
you to place the article in a
prominent space Of the paper,
where I trust every reader saw
and read it, and I also trust will
needs its common7sense sugges-
tionS.
wish that the public generally
could receive more insistent re-
minders to make adequate provi-
sion for the care of their pets
during all vacations. Animal
lovers would greatly appreciate it
if you could and would publish
brief notices at frequent inter.
walls concerning the care of pets
in general, making proper ar
rangementS for their care during
vace tions. and also ask that people
please not leave animals in closed
automobiles while on trips and
outings. Man. people thought
lessly leave their dogs shut up in
cutos on hot days, when the
temperature becomes almost as
hot as an oven, causing terrible
suffering to the animal.

Thorough Lobby Probe
Demanded by Clark
international News Service


A thorough probe of lobbying
activities on all phases of legisla'
ton will be sought in the Senate
next week by Senator Clark CD
of Missouri.
The Senator disclosed today he
intended to request that the scope
of the existing proposal for an in;
vestigation of lobbying and Adj
ministration pressure" in connec-
ton with the utilities bill be
widened to cover lobbying on all
legislation.
He said he also would seek to
obtain assurances that the Senate
inquiry would delve into the Ad'
ministrationS pressure" activities
in connection with the passage OF
legislation.
Meanwhile, the House Rules
Committee prepared to move ahead
Monday with separate inquiry
OF its own on this matter.

FIGHT
! PUSHED HARD
BY WHEELER

Prepared to fight to the last
ditch, Senator Wheeler CD Of
Montana today dispelled rumors
that he would relax his efforts to
restore the so-called death sen.
tence" to the utilities holding COM
pany bill.
Wheeler, who successfully
steered the measure through the
Senate, said he would fight Senate
concurrence in House amendments
without first sending the bill to
conference between Senate and
House members.
Fight Certain
Senator Dieterich CD of ILL
nois will move Monday that the
Senate pass the bill as passed by
the House without the death SEN
tence" clause and other vital parts.
Senator Dieterich fought vigor-
ously for regulation rather than
eradication of giant holding com
panieS. He lost by one vote.
Senator Wheeler will attempt to
block this action. He contends
that if he can get the measure to
conference he will have better
Chance-but a small one-of ul-
innate restoration of the death
sentence" clause and other parts
of the bill knocked out by the
House.
Calls Bill Worthless
Senator Wheeler asserted that
as the bill now stands it is prac-
tically worthless and fails to carry
out President Roosevelt's program
for elimination of the holding
companies. He added:
"The House amendments de-
part radically in many vital par
ticuIars from the Senate bill,
departure that is by no means
confined to elimination of the
death sentence and other
clauses.
I'm the House measure sec.
ton II does not only require
utility holding companies to get
out of the field of specific non

ally hampers the Administration
in dealing with these nOn-utility

SEN. JOHNSON
FISHES WITH
ROOSEVELT
BY EARL GOODWIN


The fact that President Roose-
welt is taking Senator Hiram
johnson of California down the
bay for a weekend fishing trip is
looked upon as significant. 1t
is said that the conversation will
center on subjects related to
power, to foreign affairs-and to
1886 when the Democratic Ma
tional Committee may find 1t
necessary to coalesce with some
of the western liberal elements
of which Hi" johnson is typi.
cal.
The President left the White
House at about 1880 today
bound for the Chesapeake Bay
via Annapolis.
He took with him Senator and
Mrs. Hiram Johnson, his personal
secretary, Miss LIE Hand, and Miss
LIE Hands two nieces, Barbara and
Marguerite Farwell, of West Cen
terville, Mass, a Boston suburb.
Fishing Incidental
The party will cruise the waters
of the Chesapeake Bay and the
Potomac River, wherever there is
good enough fishing for an an
chorage.
But fishing is said to be merely
incidental. The President is un-
derstood to have a large number
of items he wants to discuss with
the Californian.
With the power fight looming
in the House on two items-the
death sentence" clause, which is
a bone of contention between
Senate and House and will be
fought out again in conference,
and the attempt to throttle the
TVA-it is understood that the
President may go to the people
over the heads of Congress and
if he does he will need western
liberal and Progressive support.
It has been a long time since
Hiram johnson has been White
House guest. Through the Will.
son, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover
administrations Senator johnson
was always just on the edge of
the crowd. He was always in
opposition, never looked on as a
favorite.
Significance Noted
It will be recalled that at the
time Ramsey Macdonald, English
premier was here, President
Hoover invited everyone on the
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee
to dine at the White House-but
somehow or other Senator John
sons name was left off the list.
A State Department official
took the rap" and Lawrence
Richey, President Hoover's per-
sonal aid, took an apologize letter
from the President to Senator
johnson. It was, no doubt, an
oversight; but Senator johnson
never thought so.
Inc TACT That ne IS going to

dent Roosevelt was announced at
the White House with just enough
of a fine touch to call attention
to the fact that it is looked on
as unusual and significant.

wide political appeal next fall,
starting it off with a visit to Sen
