GAS TAX RELIEF
PLAN HITS SNAG
EIIenbogen's Opposition Is
Based on Objection to
Class Legislation.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The plan of Commissioner Melvin
c. Hazen to raise the gasoline tax
from 2 to 3 cents a gallon to yield
$1,000,00O for emergency relief pur-
poses in the coming fiscal year struck
its first serious snag today at the
Capitol.
Representative Ellenbogen, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania, chairman Of
the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee Of
the House District Committee, which
handles all District revenue producing
measures, announced his unalterable
opposition to the proposal.
Ellenbogen does not object to aid
ing the poor and needy on the relief
rolls, or those who deserve public
assistance, but he does not approve of
the automobile owner being made to
bear the burden. 1t is his belief that
If additional taxes are needed to meet
the relief situation they should be
placed on the shoulders Of the entire
populace and not on special class"
Awaits Other Proposals.
"Why should the motorist be singled
out to pay for the additional relief
burden?" he asked. 81 am definitely
opposed to such a proposition"
Ellenbogen, however, said his COM
mittee would give serious considera-
ton to any tax increase legislation
recommended by the Commissioners
if the element Of discrimination is re-
moved.
IF the Commissioners request us
to enact legislation imposing addi-
tional taxes for relief or any other
purpose" he said, 81 will call the SUBJ
committee in session to hold hearings
and determine course of action.
Il do not care to state at present
what believe would be the best
source to tap for the needed revenue,
but the subcommittee would 60 into
that question thoroughly.
Ability to Pay Is Guide.
I'VE should be guided by the prin-
ciple Of ability to pay, and we could
hear various suggestions that may
come from the Commissioners, civic
and business groups and the tax
payers themselves. Then We could
determine from what source the addi-
tional revenue should be produced"
Ellenbogen expressed the belief 1t
would not be difficult to maneuver
new tax legislation for the District
through the House at this session to
aid the emergency relief situation.
4-Cent Tax Suggested.
Representative Palmisano, Demo-
crat, Of Maryland, vice chairman Of
the House District Committee, said
he would support Commissioner
plan, but he believed the
gasoline tax should be raised to 4 cents
q gallon. A 2-cent increase. be pointed
out, would produce $4,000, ,0eo, which.

to the men. You can get more" was
the reply.
Gill said he also begged the men
to treat his wife with care because
she is hard Of hearing and highly
nervous" This request was disre-
garded. and Mrs. Gill was subjected
to a manhandling while the third man
looked for the money. Gill attempted
to demonstrate with the men and he
was struck.
The man who held the gun was
described as about 25 years old, clean
shaven, who wore a large black slouch
hat and white overall jumper under
his overcoat. The one who held Mrs.
Gill was believed by Gill to be a taxi
driver. He wore a chauffeurS cap
and leggins and his hands were those
of man vino Is constantly driving an
automobile, the mechanic said.
Gill was asked why he kept the
money in the house. II have been
saving it in 81 and IS bills for years
and liked to keep it in the house.
I would drop bill there in the trunk
when could spare it," he answered.
Some of the bills were of the old
large size. The money was being
saved, Gill said, to build house for
income when he retired.

according to welfare officials, is even
less than the additional amount Com
missioner George E. Allen has eSti-
mated would be needed in the 1887
fiscal year The gas tax in Maryland
is cents gallon.
Palmisano, however, said he thought
additional taxes would be unnecessary
if Congress would appropriate $780,
600 as the Federal obligation toward
the expenses of the District in the
coming fiscal year. If the $4,000, 900
cut in the Federal share which the
House approved, is restored, he de-
clared, it would be possible to raise
the emergency relief item in the 1887
appropriation bill to the figure the
Commissioners believe will be neces-
sary without any new tax legislation.
A policy of strong opposition to any
diversion of existing District of CO.
lumbia gasoline taxes or imposition of
new motor taxes for relief or any other
non-highway purpose was unanimously
adopted at yesterdays meeting Of the
Advisory Board Of the A. A. A. District
of Columbia Motor Club.

Third Opens Trunk.
In the meantime, the third robber
was prying open the trunk and as Gill
fell back. the thug cried:
Come on boys, I've got the money"
The trio fed throught the back
door, through which they had entered.
The door was unlocked. Gill said.
Overlooked by the robbers in their
haSty search was S25.75 in quarters

was able to spare them from her hus-
bands wages. ~
She was suffering today from shock
after the experience and was almost
hysterical as she tried to tell about
the loss of their savings. She IS
slightly deaf and did not hear the
men until the pair came to bind her
and her husband.

minute description of the robbery. He
