Of single persons Of 81 900 or more and
allow married couples an exemption
Of $2,500 with $40Q additional for
each dependent.
Plans had been made to have the
full committee pass on the subcom-
mittee's tax program at special
meeting Tuesday, but 1t Is likely this
arrangement will be scrapped be-
cause OF the absence OF Chairman
Norton from the city. She Is not ex-
pected to return before the end Of the
week and indicated when she left sew
eral days ago that she wanted to be
present when the committee acted on
the tax increase program.
Here are the final tax bill recon-
mendations Of the Commissioners, with
estimates on the revenue they will
yield:
Income tax, s2,ooo,OOO
Strengthening the Intangible tax
law, additional $1,000000.
Motor vehicle weight tax, 81, SOC, 900.
Inheritance and estates tax, $780,
900.
Increase from Is to 2 per cent on
the present tax on insurance pre-
MUM receipts, an additional 5000 900.
Business privilege tax, $3,000,0O0
Altogether this program would yield
an estimated $8,5OO,o0O in additional
revenue. From this, however, must
be subtracted the $l,500,000' antici-
pated revenue from the motor ve-
hicle weight tax which would go into
the special N,soline tax fund to sup
port the highway department and GER
tain activities of the department. Of
vehicles and trafic rather than to
offset the deficit.

Is months before complete benefits
from the estate and inheritance tax
are fully realized by the District, since
those who will be affected by this
legislation have that length OF time in
which to settle up. And it will be an
other year before the District begins
to realize on the income tax, since the
tax subcommittee knocked out a pro-
posal Of the Commissioners to make
it retroactive on 1886 income. The
initial tax on income will be based on
1897 earnings and the tax paid next
year.
The business privilege tax, however,
will be levied this year, on the basis
OF 1886 gross receipts, although only
one-haf OF the amount collectible,
will be demanded by the District.
Nevertheless, since all the estimated
revenue from the new tax program
will not be available in the first half
Of the new fiscal year, the 'subcom-
mittee proposes to sponsor legislation
permitting the Commissioners to bor-
row funds from the Federal Treasury
uiltii lilc YAK revenues Sldll TOIllnR III
about September !.
The amount Of revenue the new tax
program will raise is not the only un-
certainty. The programs fate before
the full District Committee. where a
revolt has threatened to develop, is
just as uncertain. The chief protest
against the program is not only the
income tax plan, but the haste and
the procedure under which it was
thrown together to meet a so-called
emergency"
Favors Larger Realty Levy.
Several committee members, includ-
ing Chairman Norton. are hopeful of
killing the income tax plan by sub
stituting 20 cent increase in the
real estate levy which would raise
between s2,000,0OO and s2.4OO 900.
Mrs. Norton is not opposed to the in
come tax plan, but she believes it
should hit the big fellow by exempt
ing incomes under s3,500. The sub
committee voted to tax the incomes

William and Mary Alumni Vote
To Curtail Enrolling of Goods
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va, June s.
William and Mary alumni voted to-
day a, their annual meeting here to
reques, the Board OF Visitors OF the
college to curtail the enrolment OF
women students.
The session, one OF the warmest in
years, witnessed a lengthy discussion
regarding the steady increase in wom-
en- and decline in number OF men stu
dents at William and Mary.
The resolution, recommended by
the Board Of Managers Of the Alumni
Association and introduced by Miss
Cornelia Adair Of Richmond, was
passed without a dissenting vote.
1t requested the Board Of Visitors
at an early date to limit enrolment
on basis Of so men and 40 women.
H. Lester Hooker, member OF the
State Corporation Commission of
Richmond, urged that the college cur
riculum be changed, eliminating sew
ing, cooking and secretarial science
in order to attract "he-men."
No action was taken on proposals
that the college now "hew to the
line in compelling applicants for ad-
mission TO be in the upper part Of
their classes and that an effort be
made to sell the college" to men OF
Virginia and the South
Another recommendation OF the
Board OF Managers adopted was that

the Governor give preference to
alumni and alumnae Of the college
in filling vacancies on the Board of
Visitors.
The recommendation at first called
for appointing visitors from list
submitted by the managers OF the
Alumni Association. but former Sena-
tor G. Walter Mapp Of Accomac and
Judge Frank Armistead OF Williams
burg led the night which resulted In
deleting this proposal from the recon-
mendation as passed.
The alumni adopted unanimously a
motion by Gardiner Tyler, Richmond
attorney, requesting the General
Assembly to pass law specifying that
majority Of the members OF the
Board Of Visitors be appointed from
alumni Of the college.
DR.. Sidney B. Hall, State superin-
tendent Of public instruction and
member Of the Glass Of '16. was elected
president OF the association for the
coming year.
Malcolm Bridges OF Richmond was
named vice president. DR.. John

cisions by the supreme courts of three
States, Oklahoma, Florida and Ala
bama. The meters have 2-to-l
count on their objectors in these cases
Only the Alabama court threw out
the meter programs.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court
stated parking meter ordinances, on
their face, appeared to be bona fide
exercise of the police power. 1t stated
there was no showing that the meters
were installed on streets where traf-
f1c was not sufficiently heavy to JUS
tify any parking regulation, or that
the city was making an unjustifled
profit and was resorting to their use
for the purpose of raising revenue and
not regulation. This decision was
filed in March Of this year.
The Florida Supreme Court, last
December in upholding the validity
of parking meter ordinance in
Miami, said it was not dealing with
the right to travel but with the power
OF municipality to regulate parking
and that the only question was
whether the ordinance was a proper
exercise of that power. Citing au-
thorities, the court said:
Undoubtedly city may not make
gain under an illegal exercise Of the
police power but it is well settled
that license fee may be Of sufficient
| amount to include the expense Of
issuing the license and the cost Of
necessary inspection or police sur
veillance connected with the busi-
ness or calling licensed, and all the
incidental expenses that are likely to
be imposed upon the public in conse-
quence Of the business licensed. The
courts will not seek to avoid an ordi-
nance by nice calculations of the ex-
pense Of enforcing police regulations
but will promptly arrest any clear
abuse of the power"
Property Claim Made.
The Alabama case included a claim
that the owner of premises before
which a parking meter had been es-
tablished was being deprived of the
| full exercise of free access to his
property by reason of the use of the
| space for parking for a fee.
In digest it made Of this deci-
sion, in January Of this year, the
A. A. A. said the court ruled the
meter ordinance of Birmingham it,
legal on three grounds:
/. That the original deed OF dedi-
cation Of land for streets specified
that these were to be devoted to the
use OF the public in general and that
the conversion of them into city,
| operated parking lots was in contra
vention OF the terms Of the original
deeds.
2. That property owners or lease
holders had certain inherent rights
pertaining to streets adjacent to their
properties, particularly those of in
gress and egress and that the renting
OF parking space was contrary to the
due process" clause OF the Constitu-
ton.
3. That the constitution of Ala
bama did not authorize the city to
exercise the grant OF police power to
the extent OF using it for taxing pur-
poses.
Whether the same questions would
apply here, District lawyers have not
determined. Congress has exclusive
jurisdiction over the District

OF the Collins measure, or to be
exact, about $2.000000 year.
The Commissioners and the Tax
Subcommittee, however, admit the
credit to be allowed on income tax
payment for intangible tax payment
will make decided difference in the
original 100000 estimate, but on
the wrong side of the ledger. In fact,
the $2,000,000 credit from the intang-
ible tax the collections in 1886
amounted to $2l00, ,000-would vir-
tually wipe out the income from the
income tax. Since teeth" are to be
put into the intangible tax law, the
Commissioners predict a net gain of
at least 81 100000 from the operation
Of both Of these taxes.
There's Yield. At Any Rate.
AT any rate the income tax plan is
still the big prize. 1t may yield a
net profit to the District OF ST 900 900
and 1t may produce as much as s5.-
100000. Whatever the result. the
taxpayer and not the District. will
be the loser.
The business privilege tax-one of
the backbones OF the new tax pro-
gram-ls another one Of the tax plans
which has doubtful outcome. The
commissioners estimated it would
yield about 100000 year, but that
figure is purely theoretical, being
based on the total amount of retail
sales in the District last year. There
was no other measuring stick avail
able, so the Commissioners used it.
Where the estimates came from for
the other tax-raising plans not even
the tax subcommittee seems to know,
but the figures supplied by the Com
mlssioners more than a month ago
were never questioned.
There's the inheritance and estate
tax, expected to yield about $500 900,
and an increase from Ia to 2 per
cent on the present tax on insurance
premium receipts, estimated to pro-
duce an additional 100000. But it
will take more than year of actual
operation Of these taxes to determine
II these estimates are anywhere near
accurate.
In the first place, it will be at least
