GRAIN PITS TO
BE REGULATED
BY new BILL
New Dealers Will Seek
Commodity Measure,
Say Spokesman.

By United Press
WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-High
congressional sources said today
that the New Deal intends next ses-
sion to seek adoption of a commod-
ity exchange control bill-bringing
strict regulation Of the grain pits
despite the breathing SPELL
promise of President Roosevelt.
Passage of such a companion
measure to the stock exchange reg
ulation program, would round out
Administration plans to curb spec
ulation injurious to the public.
A commodity exchange control
bill twice has passed the House.
only to fail of Senate action The
first bill of this type was passed
overwhelmingly by the House in the
closing days of the seventy-second
Congress. A similar bill passed the
House June 3. It is still pigeon
holed in the Senate Agriculture
Committee, repeatedly because Of
opposition of cotton belt Senators.
Affects All Exchanges
The commodity program would be
similar to that now in effect on
stock exchanges 1t would pro-
vide for government regulation OF
various speculative practices. and
make some of them illegal. Virtually
all types of commodity exchanges
would be affected, from grain to
cotton to butter and eggs.
If the administration pushes for
passage Of the legislation. it may
be the sole new regulatory bill to
receive White House backing next
session.
Returning committee chairmen
have been wary of predicting con-
slderation of other vital measures
effecting business. For the time be-
ing any substitute legislation for
NRA has been laid aside, pending
the conference of business and
labor leaders here late this month.
No Definite Plans
Chairman Sam Rayburn of the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee indicated his committee has
no plans whatever for legislation. II
had been expected that Federal
regulation of investment trusts
called for in the original draft Of
the utility control bill-would be
considered by the group.
oi,t,1
mouse Agriculture Committee said
that his committee plans would de-
pend almost entirely on the result of
supreme Court decisions. He saw
little chance otherwise of any vital
new administration farm legisla-
ton.

GASOLINE PRICES UP
30 PER CENT IN ITALY
Taxi Fares Increased, Tariff on
Benzine and Oils Raised.

By United Press
ROME, Nov. 6.-Gasoline prices
rose nearly 80 per cent today and
many who normally use motor cars
walked or used motor buses or
street cars.
TaXicab fares were increased be-
cause of the rise.
1t was understood that the in
crease was due to a government de-
sire to reduce consumption and de-
crease imports, and at the same
time maintain reserves.
A royal decree today increased
tariffs on benzine and mineral oils
by from 20 to 40 per cent.

PREDICTS INCREASE
IN 1886 AUTO SALES
Production for Year Expected to
Show Gain of 1872 Per Cent.

ItmeS Special
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Aifred
Reeves, vice president of the Auto
mobile Manufacturers Association,
today forecast an increase
of 1872 per cent in new pas
senger car sales for 1886. He also
predicted a large increase in eX-
port sales for the coming year.
With this years output expected
to reach 100000 cars and trucks,
Mr.. Reeves pointed out that an in
crease of 100000 units in 1886
would establish the industry's oper-
ations once more above the 4,000,-
900 mark.
Mr.. Reeves also stated that the
reciprocal trade program and better
exchange conditions has made it
possible to sell abroad this year ap-
proximately $4,000 units, nearly
three times the number of cars and
trucks exported in 1882.

I wonder II
readers have also
noticed that this
ex e ptio n ally

has been made
the target Of tax
shooters all over
the country.
In the year
1884 the states
collected taxes
from all sources
OF around two
billion dollars.
How mary peo-
pie kE0'v that
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-11-06

naII q all tneSe taxes were pdlQ
by motorists?
Some of these taxes are for
registering cars and some are mere
personal property taxes. This
would account for about S283, 0Co-
600. but the balance-over half a
billion dollars-was from sales
taxes, chiefly sales taxes on gaso-
line.
NF course, autoiSts are supposed
Oto be proper subjects for taxa
ton because they use the roads.
Last year the states spent $685.
100000 on roads. Some came from
the Federal government, but the
states themselves spent out of tax
alton $586, 100000. They got all but
S50,O00,000 of this directly from
motorists.
But motorists are not the only
ones who use the roads and benefit
by them. Property owners benefit
in improved values. Cities and
towns benefit in their business be-
cause they are made more accesSi-
bic to out-of town customers.
Everybody benefits. What is more,
not all the money is spent on auto
mobile roads. Huge sums are spent
on narrow dirt road for farmers.
However, this is not written es-
pecially to criticize state auto taxes,
even though the gasoline tax may
be thought to have gone wholly be-
yond reason. The chief object of
this is to call attention to the part
of the Federal government in this.
TN the last tax year the Federal
Il government collected a quarter
of a billion dollars from motorists
in gasoline taxes. There may be
some excuse for the states, since
they have not open to them the
same sources of taxation as the
Federal government. But this
Federal tax is a sales tax on an
industry that, in spite of 1t, gives
work to hundreds of thousands
directly and indirectly to millions.
Last year the Federal governments
chief source of income was sales
taXes-which is what all internal
revenues taxes aside from income
taxes are.
The Federal tax does not fall on
the automobile manufacturer. 1t
falls on the automobile user, who
for the most part is a man of small
means, by no means a plutocrat
merely because he is running a
1927 Ford. Taxation can help to
cripple one of the most vigorous
industries we have.

Harking back to the days when

smoke screens to escape pursuers,
a speeding Maryland auto early
today succeeded in eluding Sergt,
A. B. Clark of the Second
precinct by releasing a binding
black cloud of burnt oil from its
exhaust.
Sergeant Clark, alone in a
scout car had sighted the Mary
land machine driven by two
colored men at Delaware Avenue
and L Street Southwest. When
he pulled up alongside, the men
drew away at a speed estimated
by Sergeant Clark at over 10
miles an hour.
After speeding several miles,

F St. Widening Plans
Are Speeded Up

Hope for the immediate relief
Of traffic congestion in the vicin-
ity of F Street between Seventh
and Ninth Streets Northwest,
loomed today with the announce
ment that engineers of the Ma
tional Park Service are rushing
new plans for remodeling the Old
Patent office Building.
1t was almost year ago that
the Public Works Administration,
following a campaign by The
washington Times, allocated
100000 for removal of the long
flight Of steps leading to the F
Street entrance of the Old Patent
office Building to make it possible
to straighten F Street at that
point.
Bids Too High
Bids for the project were adver-
tiSed but when opened were
found to exceed the amount ap-
propriated for the project.
Efforts to obtain additional
funds from the PWA were un-
successful.
It was then decided to draw
up new plans for remodeling the
building which would be in line
with the amount allotted by the
PWA.
With the removal of the flight
of steps, the District stands ready
to go ahead with the widening Oh
the congested thoroughfare.

that Policeman Caussin was con-
victed once of being drunk while
on duty and was to appear again
on a similar charge, but failed to
attend the hearing. This state
ment was a mistake.
Policeman Caussin had not been
convicted on that charge and
was not to appear before the

He was tried before the trial

Calvert St. Bridge
Opens Oct. Is

Nearly 10 years ago a woman
lost her life when the automobile
in which she was riding plunged
through the railing Of the old
Calvert Street Bridge.
On October is the new Calvert
Street Bridge will be opened-the
result of a drive carried on for
years by an aroused public for
replacement of the structure
which had cost life.
The new bridge is a magnifi-
cent piece of work, its three
arches beautifully spanning Rock
Creek valley.
Costing more than one million
dollars, its construction has been
the subject of innumerable con-
troversies. Whether it should be
single span or in three arches
was the subject Of one Of these
arguments, while another centered
around whether the structure
should be of steel or masonry.
Another incident which brought
the then-proposed bridge into the
headlines was the manner in
which a substitute traffic artery
was made over Rock Greek Park

Says:

"She Sells Sea Shells, Etc"
Yes sir! There's q young
lady in New Jersey, who not
only says that tricky phrase,
but actually makes q good liv-
ing by selling shells. No,
you're wrong She's not a
munitions maker.
The lady in question, Miss
Gertrude Niedlinger, has built
up a big business from making
jewelry out of shells she picks
up at the SeaShOre Surpris-
ing! Most girls at those resorts,
are not satisfied to pick up any
thing less than pearls.
While this shell jewelry is
said to be in great demand, my
girl friend lost interest when I
suggested giving her some for
her birthday. AT the mere
mention of shell, she shut up
like a clam.

Some fellows satisfy . girls

breaking open a jewelry store.

the strain of street car and auto

was being constructed. This was
done by the John w. Cowper
Company last June 8, and was
