House Body Hits
3-Point Formula,
Asks Lu,np-Sun1

Rejecting the Jacobs three point
fiscal relations formula as unworkable
and unfair, the House Appropriations
Committee in reporting the 1888 Dis
trict supply bill today recommended
continuance OF the existing Federal
lump sum payment toward National
Capital costs.
The committee also criticized the
entire tax structure of the District de-
claring it was decidedly weak and fails
to produce nearly the revenue of a
modern tax system. Millions of dol
lars, the committee said, are lost an
nually because of this condition.
Discussing the fiscal relations ques-
ton, and its relation to taxes, the COM
mite declared:
I'm the hope that better under
standing between the Federal Govern
ment and the District government
would result, the subcommitte having
charge Of the bill gathered and had
submitted various data relating to
property values, assessments and levies
thereon in the District and in other
comparable assessment units. 1t also
had before it the so-called Jacobs re-
port on the fiscal relations between
the two governments and the report
Of the "Mapes Committee" relating to
the same subject, which committee
made an exhaustive study of the prob
lem in 1881. The subcommittee also
conducted protracted hearings, at
which appeared efficiency and tax ex-
perts, representatives of civic organiza-
tions in the District, officials of the
District government and others.
THE committee has made careful
and exhaustive study of the contents
of the above mentioned reports and a
close study of the stenographic report
Of all statements made to it. 1t has
also carefully analyzed and studied
all statistical matter gathered and

; 81 so levy.
The proposed tax increases or new
taxes, according to Chairman Collins
Of the appropriations subcommittee
which drafted the bill, will affect auto
mobile owners and various types of
Observation-Disclosures companies, util-
ity corporations, amusement places
and parking lot operators Owners Of
motor vehicles will be confronted with
an increase in the gasoline tax and
weight tax. In addition, the commit
tee is expected to sponsor legislation
for an inheritance tax and an income
tax
The tax program, Collins predicted,
will yield considerably" more revenue
than is needed to wipe out the antici-
pated deficit in the coming fiscal year.
The surplus, he said, may be used to
reduce the tax on real estate in the
1889 fiscal year.
Riders May Be Eliminated.
All of the legislative riders in the
bill are subject to a point of order
under House rules-a position which
puts them in a precarious position. It
is understood that a point of order
will be raised against some of them,
especially those placing Gallinger Hos
pltal and the tuberculosis sanatoria
under the Health Department.
Aside from these changes, the COM
mittee in another rider provided for
abolition of the children's receiving
home by substituting a boarding home
system for juveniles taken into custody
by police, and shifted from the SUPER
vision of the municipal playground
department to the community center
department of the ~-blic schools all
Fairgrounds either connected with or
adjacent to school buildings. This
change will result in about a so per
cent curtailment in he activities of
the municipal playground department.
Other Major Changes.
Other major changes called for in
the legislative riders would:
Shift administrative supervision
over the license bureau headed by
Wade H. Coombs from the assessors
office to the department OF weights,
measures and markets.
Require the Public Utilities Com
mission to make an investigation of
telephone rates to determine their
'reasonableness.
Prevent public school teachers from
performing any clerical work.
Give the Commissioners supervision
and control over the new Police Court
building and allow surplus space to be
