mitted the bill was not perfect.
There are lots Of things in this bill
as it now stands" he said. which
will have to be corrected in the Sen
ate"
After the committee adopted Coles
amendment by close to vote
to exempt from the income tax
plan members of Congress and other
Federal employees appointed or elect
ed for a definite term, Representative
Sacks, Democrat, of Pennsylvania at
tempted to have the entire Income
tax title removed from the bill. He
wanted to substitute a graduated tax
on real estate, exempting property
assessed under $4,000 The proposal
was rejected, however, by a 6 to 1
vote.
Debate Becomes Warm.
Heated debate preceded action on
Coles amendment. Kennedy took
the lead in opposing it. If you're
going to tax the people of the Dis
trict," he declared, you should tax
members of Congress, too"
Representative McGehee, Demo-
crat, Of Mississippi. who also served on
the Tax Subcommittee, argued that
| Congress would never enact an in
come tax il it would place a levy on
their own salaries. And Representa-
tive Quinn. Democrat, of Pennsyl-
vania predicted: You're not going
to pass this bill with the income tax
in it."
Nichols explained he was instru-
mental in getting the Commissioners
to approve the original plan to elimi-
nate the income tax and substitute a
20-cent increase in the real estate
tax rate, which would jump the levy
from Sl.50 to sl.70 The 2O-cent
rise would yield about s2,4OO,00O ad-
ditional revenue.
After a long session with the
Commissioners, Nichols said, I'VE
felt there would be considerable op-
position to the income tax AS a
result the Commissioners and agreed
to take out the income tax and sub
stltute a 20-cent increase in the real
estate levy. I believe that is neces-
sary for compromise
The committee declined to agree
with the plan by adopting the Cole
amendment. 1t was pointed out,
however, the Commissioners have au-
tnorlty to raise the real estate tax il
the additional revenue needed to
meet the anticipated deficit in the
coming fiscal year IS not produced
by the tax bill.

CAUTION ADVISED
T0CUT DR0WN|NCS
Rutland Gives Rules for
Safety to Swimmers and
N0n.SWimmerS.

DR.. George c. Rutland, District
health offlcer. today Endorsed five
rules Of safety for the prevention Of
drownings.
He took cognizance Of several
drownings already reported this Sum-
mer by issuing the following state
ment:
THE Health Department feels that
loss OF life from drowning can largely
be avoided. Carelessness, both on the
part OF non-swimmers and swimmers
is an important cause Of mortality in
water.
There is little excuse for the per-
son who does not learn how to swim.
Private land public pools are at the
disposal of every one.
Stay Out of Canoes.
Water sports should be encouraged
because Of the benefits of exercise and
recreation which they provide. but
persons who have not learned to
swim should paddle near the shore
or stay out Of canoes.
1nOSe VINO WISH 10 enjoy Sa1e
Summer with water sports may be
guided by the following points:
81. A physical examination by a
physician is advisable to every one
who wishes to swim during the Sum-
mer because undiscovered physical de-
fects are often the cause of drown
ings. especially among the so-called
expert swimmers.
Watch Currents.
-. Non-swlmmers should make
every effort to learn how to stay above
water and to continue until rea
sonable degree Of swimming skill is
accomplished. Many people drown
each year because they do not know
how even to stay above the water for
few minutes.
49, Be alert to treacherous currents,
weeds and objects which may cause in
jury or handicap the swimmer.
a. Do not bathe in an unknown
stretch Of water alone.
IS. Do not swim Immediately after
q meal"
