LIQUOR RACKET
BILL BACKED

Aimed at stamping out a
racket" which has grown in
the local liquor industry, a bill to
prohibit the sale or transfer Of
liquor licenses came back to the
District Commissioners late yester-
day with the stamp Of approval
of the Bureau of the Budget.
Proposed by the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board, the bill is
intended to end the selling of
liquor licenses by original licensees
for three times their original cost.
In addition to the license bill,
the bureau also approved a meas
ure to limit the number of taxi
cabs in the District, and another
bill which is intended to tighten
the local restrictions against child
marriages.
Under terms of the taxicab bill,
the Public Utilities Commission
would be empowered to reduce the
number Of cabs by declining to
issue new licenses after taxi IL
censes are either surrendered or
revoked. The Commissioners told
the bureau the excessive number
of cabs operating and cruising
seriously affect vehicular and pc
destrian traffic."

that while half Of the street cars

not detract from the efficiency Of

INHERITS ABILITY

You gathered that the PhillipSes
bought from needy artists at
sacrifice to themselves.
Mrs. Phillips comes rightly by
her artistic ability. Her mothers
brother was Clifford Reynolds Beal,
a famous painter. The family is
well known in New York.
The Phillips mansion, designed
by husband and wife, is built Eng
lish manor, style, of handmade red
brick with white wood trim. Sur
rounded by 10 acres of land, it
overlooks the entire city of Wash
ington. The rear porch, with it's
enormous white wood pillars, is
reminiscent of Lees home in Ar
lington. The drawing room is 38
feet long, simply and exquisitely
furnished. There is no obvious
display of wealth. The maid who
opens the door is smiling and
courteous. BY the time the
mistress Of the house appears you
are prepared to meet a gracious
lady who, if she were older, might
be called a "grande dame"
Slim, willowy and soft-spoken,
Mrs. Phillips has intensely blue
eyes and soft grazing hair. Her
hands, long. white and slender.
are exquisite.
She is justly proud of her two
children. Laughlin, IL. and Mary
Marjorie, IA. The boy was her
model in her painting. Baseball"
now on display at the Corcoran
Art Gallery. Another Of her paint
ingS is Locust Trees in Spring"
which was exhibited at her hus-
bands gallery for several months.
Asked if she ever sold a picture,
Mrs. Phillips looked shocked:
"Oh, no! We buy them. to
keep"
She added, with an apologize
little laugh:
"The collecting bug gets into
your blOOd!"

TAX REVISION
FORECAST

A complete revision of the Dis
trict tax structure may result
from the study which has Just
been launched by a special House
District subcommittee seeking to
raise the additional revenue
needed to meet the anticipated
deficit for the next fiscal year, it
was indicated today.
Not only will the program the
subcommittee will develop contain
provisions for meeting the deficit,
but it is possible that current
methods of administration and
collection will be altered, so as
to make the taxes more effective.
The whole program will be shaped
up so that it can be expanded or
reduced to meet the needs Of the
city for years to come.
Keynote Sounded
Representative Everett Dirksen
(R.), of Illinois, and Jack Nichols
CD, of Oklahoma, both members
of the subcommittee, sounded the
keynote concerning this angle Of
the study today when they said:
''NOw that we have this job
to do, it would be foolish for
this subcommittee merely to add
new taxes on to meet this deficit
in such q way as to do a patch
work sort Of job.
"It would seem that our job
is to go over the entire tax struc-
ture Of the District, take the
best Of what already exists and
mold it into new basis in keep
ing with modern tax methods.
I'm this way the subcommittee
can do q worthwhile jOb-we
can give the District o basis
which it could use for years to
cOme-expand it when necessary
without having new studies and
investigations made and narrow
1t when It appears that less rev.
enue is needed"
CITES CITY GROWTH
Dirksen pointed out that with
Washington steadily increasing in
population, it must be taken into
account that the local government
activities will be called upon more
and more by the people. This will
take more money, the Illinois
member pointed out, and unless
the tax basis which the subcom
mittee sets UP at present is made
flexible, it would only mean that
in another few years the District
Committee would be called upon
to do this same job over again.
Practically the only concrete
indication that came out of yes
terday'S hearing was that the sub
committee members apparently
are determined to compel the cor
porations doing business in the
city to share a greater part OF
the tax load, Informed that these
corporations now pay only real es
tate and tangible and intangible
taXes-and, according to witnesses
there is no way of being sure that
they pay all they should on Their
bank accountS-the subcommittee
members seemed definitely favor
able to the imposition of priv
ilege tax and tax on the business
transacted by these corporations.
Seeks Percentages
Dirksen yesterday started paw
ing the way for a study, by which
the subcommittee might com
pletely overhaul the present tax
structure here. He sought infor
nation as to the amount of taxes
derived from each of the sources
now being tapped, as well as the
percentage Of taxes levied that
are collected.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 29-Magda de Fontages, who shot and slight ly wounded the former French ambassador to Italy, Count Chas de Chambrun, after she said he had ended her romantic affair with Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy, started today aboard a french ship voyage back to France, her homeland. She was barred from entering the United States by a board of United Sta .es immigration commissioners on the grounds of moral turpi- tude.'
 She reached American shores three weeks ago, but was held at immigration quarters on Ellis Is- land while her attorney made ef- forts to gain for her admission to the United States.
