Lights Installed; Check
Held Inaccurate.

Appealing directly to the District
Commissioners this week, the men,
bers Of the Benning Citizens Associa-
ton will. continue efforts TO obtain
trafic lights for the BeHning viaduct.
At q meeting Of the association
last week Q letter from William A.
Van Duzer, trafic director, explain
ing that trafiic volume over the Ben
ming Bridge did not warrant lights,
was read to the members. Immediate
protests resulted, with o. c. Splitter,
treasurer, commenting he had taken
time to count the automobiles using
the viaduct, and on several occasions
the number exceeded 1876 for . FIVE
minute period"
Traffic Check Figures.
Van Duzer's check indicated that
less than 1000 vehicles used the
bridge per hour, and because only

year for additional trafilc lights Pc

Complaining that no satisfaction Of
demands for q recount Of the viaduct

nc Department, members instructed
Mrs. F. A. Keyser, secretary, to appeal
directly to the District Commissioners.
Mrs. Keyser was also instructed to

TRoPosED legislation for the
- District continued to &C.
cumulate In both the Senate
\ and House. There Is prom
ise Of considerable activity In tho
various committees dealing with
District legislation. The recent fiscal
relations report Is already the sub.
ject of study by two House sub
committees from different angles.
and bearings are due to start Feb
ruasy is. 1t has been announced
that the District Appropriations
Subcommittee Of the House will
next week start hearings on the
District 1888 budget. The mdica-
tions are that from every angle
the civic-minded people Of the Dis
trict will be well occupied in At.
tending and participating In nu-
merous hearings in the immediate
future.
At the District Building interest
has centered to . large degree in
the Potomac Electric Power Co.
rate hearing held early in the week
with announcement of the commits
sion's orders on Friday establishing
reduced rates.
Another matter Of interest at
the District Building has been the
consideration by the Commissioners
Of the recent decision in the Police
Court declaring the so-called snow
removal parking ban illegal. It Is
understood that the Commissioners
will appeal this case and during
the interim will endeavor to con.
tinue the enforcement Of the rsgu-
1ation. -
The auditorium proposal con-
tinues to keep 10 the front with
numerous suggestions and inter-
esting information comparing our
lack of auditorium facilities with
such facilities in other commune
ties. The Senate resolution to
appoint . commission to 90 into the
matter has been favorably reported.
A novel suggestion Of the week
Is the proposal by Senator James
j. Davis Of Pennsylvania for the
Capitalization Of Washington's sen.
ior high schools. These would oil
be brought together at one point
on the outskirts Of the city. in
cluding vocational schools, . farm,
. giant stadium and Greek theatsr.
It Is the Senator's idea that pro-
viding such Capitalization Of SEN
ior high school facilities would re-
lease the present senior high schools
for use as much needed junior high
schools. As reported, 1t Is intended
to introduce . resolution directing
the President to appoint q COM
mission to report on the practical
bility Of his plan.

Not to be too definite, thereby start
ing an ill-natured controversy, sup
pose that:
State No. i is the country's main
producing area Of Commodity A,
which has on it a stiff excise that
State No. l would like to get rid of,
State No. % is the major producer of
Commodity O. which No. % is anxious
to keep untaxed.

modify A, nor No. az to 23s worries
over Commodity @.
But No. 70 will help No. 1, if No.
1 will help No. %, and vice versa.
APPLIES TO ALL STATES
If this rule applied only to States
Nos. / and % and to Commodity A
and @ it wouldn't so much matter.
But it applies to all states, from, to
and inclusive of 1 to 48, and to all
commodities, from A to the other end
of the alphabet, and several of each
in some cases.
Of course it is not true that the
states combine sclid3y on every item
to defeat levies desired by the ad-
ministration. If they did there
wouldn't be any taxes. But there al
ways is a tendency on the part of
cwo or three or more states to join
forces to get what they want, not col
'ective3y, but variously.
Let this tendency become rampant
and it is enough to knock the stuff
