CHEVY CHASE VOTE
HITS GUYER BILL
Citizens Oppose Move to
Restore Prohibition in
District.

Opposed to the return of prohibition
TO the District, the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association voted against the
passage of the Guyer bill by 3-to-1
majority at the regular meeting last
night.
The association did vote, however.
against the establishment of on-sale
places in the Chevy Chase area, and
also favored a decrease in the number
Of of sale establishments. No discus
sion was held on the question. Edwin
S. Hege, president of the association,
asked for an expression of opinion
from members present so that he and
other members of the associations
Executive Committee would know how
to testify before congressional COM
rAittees when the Guyer bill is pre-
sented.
Bus Service Discussed.
]. r. Manning, vice president of
the association and chairman of the
Public Utilities Committee, quoting a
report of the Executive Committee de-
clared that the Capital Transit Co.
sis not demonstrating a capacity to
operate In a manner satisfactory to
the public" He urged transit officials
and other authorities to act promptly
to render better service and discourage
q step toward revocation of the COM
pany franchise.
A nine-point program leading to
better service, which he presented. in
cluded statement that the quantity
of equipment is insufficient and that
the bus operators are poorly trained.
The program also included requests
that parking on some streets be elm
mated during rush hours, that police
aid in moving buSSeS and other forms
of public transportation, and that
overcrowding be remedied. He sug-
gested that group of company Off
cials ride the Connecticut avenue
buses during rush periods so they
can see first hand just what conditions
prevail.
Budget Committee Named.
President Hege outlined the fiscal
relations between the District and the
Federal Governments. He pointed out
that the $5,70O,000 allotted by Con-
gress last year was below the 40 per
cent Federal contribution originally
planned He recited a list of possible
taxes which may be imposed to make
up the additional 100000 needed
for the District next year if no in
crease is made in the Federal contri-
button. A committee was appointed
to study the budget in an effort to
secure economy in expenditures. The
committee was also given power to
act to get real estate taxation in
Chevy Chase equalized with that of
other areas.

perience had better give the matter
further consideration, police officials
say, since 26 of the 40 members of
the class have already qualified as
pistol experts.
The students. after having COM
pleted approximately two-thirds of
their course. have already delved
deeply into the general subject Of
police work. The instruction goes
much further than in the old days,
for now the students are required to
learn the art Of hngerprinting. trafnc
laws, the District Code in so far as it
affects crime, the United States laws
on the same subject relating to the
District Of Columbia, correct court
procedure, fire prevention and count
less other subjects relating to general

Work of 80 Police Rockies
Praised, Even by Taxi Driuer

which taxi drivers restrain themselves
on Endorsements of anything, espe-
cially traffic cops.
1t may be, of course, that the COM
pliment had its negative aspects. The
hacker merely said that the new cops
were handling traffic better than the
seasoned men. He may have men,
toned it more in criticism of the vet
Grams than in praise of the rockies.
The entire class is In charge Of
Lieut.. Walter H. Thomas, head of the

students are doing actual police work,
they remain under Lieut.. Thomas

Maybe you. too, have been puzzled
by those strange faces among the
policemen on special traffic duty in
the shopping area. They are pretty
interesting faces, as faces go.
Checking up on them, one discovers
that they belong to 80 rockies, straight
out of the Police School, and getting
their first taste of public service.
There are "A students in the school
altogether. The five not on downtown
traffic duty are on various chores with
the vice squad.
Their superiors think the rockies

"LIvE WITHIN OUR INCOMES"

The president of the Wachovis
Bank and Trust Company at Win.
ston-Salem has given out this state
ment in regard to his idea of the best
way to relieve the increasingly bad
tax situation that confronts our gov
ernments from towns and states ia
the United States:
II believe that the following course
must be followed if we are to avoid
a national crisis: by careful and in
telligent study, it must be determined
what tax burdens the citizens of the
country can reasonably carry without
retarding business, then, these taxes
must be assessed fearlessly and inn
partially. The Governments spending
should be limited to the amount that
can be raised by such taxes. I believe
such a program will do more to slim
ulate business, to relieve unemploy-
ment, and to bring sound recovery
than anything else."
This policy of living within our in
comes and keeping the expenses of
our government down to figure that
we can pay is surely the most rea-
sonable and sane one that we could
possible follow.
Figures show that it required
around $5o,0O0,00O to operate the
government of North Carolina last
year. $24, 100000 of this amount was
paid by citizens in privilege taxes and
the remainder was levied on sales OF
fools and merchandise, taxes on gaso-
line and beer.
Figures show that it will require
around $10,OOO,OOO, 900 to pay for rum
ming the federal government this
year. The national income is said to
be running from $4,000, 900 900 to
$50, 5000, 900. 1t: is not hard to fig
ure out how much Of this goes for
running the government. -
A reasonable tax burden should
certainly be figured out and then the
government cut out to fit it.

ITALY HAS NOT PICKED
A PLEASANT JOB

According to reports from those
who know, Italy has not set herself
to the most pleasant task in the world
when she invades Ethiopian territory
even though she is far beyond the
African country in training and
equipment. ,...-
We are told that the heat along the
Ethiopian coast reaches such height
that Europeans sicken and die within
a days time. Only Africans can with
stand it. All work done by the SOL
diers along the coast must be done
by night. :.:..
We are also told that the breathing
apparatus of the Africans is so made
that the deadly mustard gases used
in civilized warfare that kills white
men instantly has little or no effect
on them. :
One of the foremost military gen.
fuses of the day says that Ethiopia
can hold out indefinitely against Italy
if Selassie,.is smart enough to keep
his troops from massing together and
making definite stands. Philippians
do not know how to use machine guns
Or cannons, and massed fight would
result in Italy's being able to NOW
them down like grass, but bands of
Philippians attacking the army when
least expected, fighting from am
bush, etc., will keep Italians harrass-
ed while they fight with the natural
problems of extreme heat, and little
or no water.
Arthur Brisbane speaks in this
connection:
"If you are in guessing mood,
think of the eighty-odd Italian SOL
diers said to be prisoners in the hands
of the Philippians. Their Emperor adj
vised them "be savage" and he will
not be disappointed in their treat
ment of prisoners.
"What European soldiers in Eth
opia dread more than death is the
danger of being captured alive. The
fate of the captured Italian soldiers
is not pleasant thought"
