FLAT RATE GOLD
 TAX MEASURE ON
 WAY TO SENATE.
House Measure Calls for 75 Cents an Ounce with
 75O-ounce Exemption

An amendment fixing the gold tax at 75 cents an ounce on gross production over 750 ounces was adopted by the Territorial House this morning to the Green mining tax bill which originally provided for graduated tax of from two and one-half to five percent on net income. Provisions for other mines remain unchanged on net income as proposed by the author The bill would raise approximately $250,00O a year in revenue to the. Territory, it is estimated.
 The bill will go to the Senate for further action where another mining tax bill is under considera- tion which proposes graduated tax on gross profit.
 Pass Nerland Bill
 Approval was given by the House this morning to the Nerland bill which calls for the election of five members to school boards instead of three. Andrew Nerland of the Fourth Division, auth or of the measure, explained the purpose Oi the act was to eliminate as far as possible political maneuvering
 which, he said, in some instances had been especially detrimental to school systems. He said he felt a board of five members would not be so subject to petty politics as one of three members, and the House concurred.
 Another school bill, providing for fire escapes on school buildings, also was approved when it was brought to the attention of the House by A. E. Karnes, Commis- sioner of Education, that there were several buildings in towns of the Territory not properly equipped in this respect.
 $l6,0O0 For Craig School The House voted $16,O0O for the erection of new school building at Craig, which was recently de- stroyed by fire.
 The Lingo bill setting up check ing system in the offices of the Auditor and Treasurer whereby &C., eurate figures on revenue and an- ticipated revenue will be available at all times and requiring the vari- ous concerns in the fishing indus try to submit statements under cath as to production and other facts relative to their business also was approved by the House.

W0LMAN MAY QUIT
AUT0LABOR BOARD
Chairman Tells Friends He
Will Resign When Roose-
welt Consents.

(Copyrisht. 1885. by the Associated Press)
Informed circles said today that DR..
Leo Wolman. chairman Of the Auto
mobile Labor Board, intends to resign
as soon as he can obtain President
Roosevelt's consent.
Wolman, whose boards policies are
criticized by the American Federation
of Labor, which threatens q strike
in the huge industry, told friends Of
his intention on a recent flying visit
to the Capital.
Whether he would take another ad-
ministration post has not been made
known. First as chairman Of the La
Dor Advisory Board at N. r. A. and
then as head of the Auto Board, VOL
man has been with the Government
for nearly two years. He Is generally
known as an adviser to both the
President ard Secretary Perkins on
labor relations problems.
Sent to Detroit.
The White House agreement be-
tween the automobile manufacturers
and the federation just a year ago
took Wolman to Detroit to put into
effect the proportional representa-
ton" plan Of employe representation.
Any organization of employees was
to be represented in proportion to its
strength on works councils to deal
with management.
Last Fall the federation withdrew
from the agreement and now is de-
manding majority rule" The labor
organization chosen by the majority
of employees in plant should speak,
exclusively, for all the employees, the
federation says.
At a House Labor Committee hear
ing yesterday on the Wagner labor
disputes bill, Francis j. Dillon, Amer
lean Federation of Labor organizer in
Detroit, said the federation would
call an automobile strike unless Con-
greSs enacted bill to make major
ity rule" an amendment to N. I. r. A.
collective bargaining guarantee.
Dillon said the auto makers had
fostered company unions and that
they had intimidated their employees
until the workers were afraid to vote
for the federation in the elections the
Labor Board has conducted.
A. F. Of L. Support Small.
The most recent tally of these elec-
tions showed only per cent Of the
workers in 46 plants choosing the
AZ F. of L. for their representative.
About IS per cent of those eligible
voted in these elections. The fedora
ton had advised its members to keep
away from the polls.
Discussing conditions In the Detroit
plants. Dillon called Henry Ford "the
biggest fake in America and the most
over-rated man"
Describing the Detroit manufac-
turer as the Nations largest employer,
he termed him also "the most un-
scrupulous" To this Representative
LesinsN, Democrat, of michigan, in
terjected "and the most cruel" The
interchange was not expanded. But
Dillon continued:
The day has come in the United
States when Congress must enact leg
islation to compel employers to recog-
nize the rights Of the working men
and women"

Representatives Of the Illinois Manu-

man for the Communist party.

mote industrial unrest and was de-

PATMAN TO SEEK
FREE j. s. CREDIT.
Plan to Follow Bonus Would
Take Over Exempt
Bonds.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A drive for free Government
credit" is being planned by Repre-
sentative Patman, Democrat, of Tex
as as follow up on his $4,000, ,000,-
600 currency expansion-bonus pro-
poSal.
Denouncing present public financ-
ing methods as IAN imbecilic system
to benefit the bankers" Patman said
he proposes to:
l. Save the Government more than
750000,000 annually in interest
charges by retiring the $28,500, 900, 900
public debt.
2. Cut local taxes in half by hav-
ing the Government take over the
S17000,000,000 outstanding tax
exempt State. county and municipal
bonds.
Handling Charge Included.
"The bondholders would be paid
with currency or some other form OF
Government credit" the Texan ex-
planned. The Federal Government
would charge the States, counties and
cities one-half of l per cent interest
to cover handling charges and pos
sible losses"
Patman said it would be necessary
to do this gradually to avoid un-
settling conditions. To prevent in
flationary evils, he said, the Govern
ment would have to take over the
Federal Reserve System, and could
require greater reserves for the issu-
ance of bank credit.
This would force the money now
tied up in tax-free Governmental obli-
cations into the channels of trade and
industry" Patman said. THE banks
say they have plenty of money-but
instead of putting 1t to work they buy
Government bonds.
Executives Policy Hit.
THE same thing is true of insur-
ance companies. Their executives
don't earn the big salaries they draw
these days. They've dropped their
home and farm mortgages and in
vested in Government bonds. That
doesn't take any thought or study.
Everybody knows Government bonds
are safe. They ought to be made to
seek out investments"
The flow of money to private in
vestment channels which Patman said
would follow adoption of his sugges-
ton would end the depression, the
Texan believes.

more County, committee chairman,
said the Elections Committee had
ruled in a like manner in three SINH
lar contests for seats in the House.

of the five contests, that there is no
basis for recount in any of these
cases." Hanley said.
Hanley added that, in view of the
fact the State Assembly's session is
4doV VA q WAilS w q OAOoC, tllC CUllIllllUeE

last night and the two Montgomery
County candidates Immediately tele-
graphed an appeal to State Senator
Stedman Prescott to endeavor to OBJ
tain hearing.

shortly after noon today, but was
told that the committee would be
unable to grant Jordan and Imirie
hearing without extending the same
courtesy to the other contestants. and
that this was impossible.
Hanley told The Star the commit
tee also has decided against holding

ELGEN IS FAVORED
FOR UTILITY POST
D. c. Committee Smooths
Reappointment at Hands
of Senate.

Early action by the Senate on the
nomination of Riley Elgen for another
term on the Public Utilities Commis-
sion appeared likely today, following
the favorable report Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee on the appointment
late yesterday.
After several weeks of delay, the
committee approved the nomination
after Elgen had assured Senator Nc
Carran, Democrat, of Nevada that he
has an open mind on the question of
municipal ownership of utilities in the
District
While Senators Capper of Kansas
and King of Utah were questioning
Elgen about the amount of taxes paid
by utilities here, Commissioner HaZen
announced a committee of three Dis
trict officials has been directed to
study existing rates of taxation on
utility companies. Those making the
study, he said, are Peoples Counsel
Roberts. Auditor Donovan and As
SCISSOR Richards.
Tax Levies Questioned.
Senator Capper, who a few weeks
ago introduced bill to increase utility
taxes by coupling net-earhings tax
with the present groSs-receipts tax,
told the committee he Understood the
existing utility tax levies here we're
low in comparison to other cities.
Senator McCarran, who recalled
that he has been considering munich
pal ownership of the electric light,
gas, telephone and other utilities here,
asked Elgen if he had any precon-
ceived opinion on the subject. Elgen
replied he had not and felt he could
approach the subject with an open
mind.
Senator Capper inquired how the
tax on the electric power company
here compared with other places.
Peoples Counsel Roberts said the rate
here is per cent on gross receipts
and that he understood that else
where the combined State and local
taxes on power companies amounted
to 13 per cent.
Rates Declared Low.
Asked by Senator King how the
rates charged consumers of power
said the rates here, if not the lowest.
were the lowest of any city of the
same size
william NICK. Clayton told of the
return the power company has made
on its stock even with the low rate
schedules in effect here.
Senator King also asked Elgen if
the commissions street car rerouting
plans have included a study of i'm
proved methods of transportation in
the future. implying the possible use
of subways at some future time. Elgen
said Forthcoming report of the COM
mission on local transportation would
cover the question of future trends.
King called attention to suggestions
he has received that car tracks should
be removed from Wisconsin avenue
because Of its Importance as a main
artery into the city. Elgen said the
sentiment was not strong at this time
for abandonment of tracks on that
line.
