District Tax Bill
Like MahOmet's Coffin.

WITH apologies for the use of
such figure OF speech, the
Districts omnibus revenue bill, like
Mahomet's coffin, continues to be
suspended between Heaven and
earth. The general civic verdict
appears to be that this bill in
either form requires numerous
changes before it is fit to rest in
either place. There are even some
who would suggest third and
unnamed destinat ton.
If there is any considerable group
in q out of Congress satisfied with
this bill, either m the form passed
by the House or that reported by

Commissioners Special Committee
Taxation Report.


HE report of the Commissioners
Special Taxation Committee,
which was submitted on Wednes-
day, is interesting and contains a
number of recommendations for
improvement Of the present tax
collection and assessment proce-
dure. There has been no oppor-
tunity as yet to make a study of
the complete text OF the report.
1t is indicated that there is out
tanding, overdue personal prop
erty taxes to the amount Of s4.-
ll4,365. The committee is OF the
opinion that this money may be
collected through methods which
are commonly used by private busi-
ness concerns.
To some the disclosure Of this
large amount of uncollected taxes
Is rather startling in view OF the
Districts financial condition which
calls for the raising of additional
money through the laying new
taxes. The immediate problem in
volved is that of putting into
operation these practical collection
methods. 1t is not known whether
this would be possible under ex-
isting authority vested in the Com
missioners.
A popular idea advanced by the
committee is that of establishing
central Office which would con-
solidate all information on each
parcel OF property so that it would
no longer be necessary for a tax
payer to go from one office to an
other to determine the amount of
his Indebtedness to the District.
Any private business concern which
would require customers to go to
so much trouble to learn the
amount of their Indebtedness,
would find patronage transferred
to another firm in short order.
The committee would thoroughly
moderni1e both the assessors and
collectors offices. This would be
accomplished through the installa-
ton of approved mechanical de-
vices which would cut down the
personnel and materially speed up
the work.
In any determining COM
munity such q report, with practi-
cal recommendations, would re.
suit IN the prompt adoption Of the

How Can Washington
Be Sold TO Congressc

THE Greater National Capital
Committee of the Washington
Board of Trade has been doing a
fine JOB selling Washington to the
organizations throughout the Ma
ton as convention city and as
the tourists Mecca Of the conti-
nent This has been accomplished
through an extensive and Sys-
tematIc campaign of educational
promotion. II has taken consid-
cradle outlay of money to carry on
this work, but its financial sup
porters have felt that the results
warranted the expenditure of both
effort and money.
Recent developments regarding
the relations existing between the
National Capital community and
its exclusively governing legisla-
ture present a most serious prob
lem. The District of Columbias
legislature is clearly uninformed re-
garding the District of Columbia
for which it is required by the Con-
Stltution to legislate. There is a
complete lack If sympathetic un-
derstanding between the voteless
and unrepresented residents of the
District and their legislators in
whose choosing they had no part.
Because of the successful sales
manship of the Greater National
Capital Committee, the idea sug-
gests itself that a similar effort to
sell Washington to the Congress
is worthy of consideration.
A real solution of the problem.
1t appears, might be found through
the formation of a similar body,
with just as vigorous and efficient
plan Of operation and as substan-
ial financing.

AID TO RELIEF
OF PSORIASIS
SYMPTOMS

The itching and irritation of
psoriasis is readily relieved by
Resinol Ointment, an old formula
containing ingredients well known
to physicians for their effectiveness.
To get best results, wash of the
scales with a pure, mild soap. Res
inol Soap is gently medicated and
free from excess alkali. Use it with
warm water, then rinse and pat dry.
Spread Resinol Ointment evenly
over the surface, letting it remain
for several hours during the day and
overnight. Note how quickly its
oily base enables the Resinol medi-
cation to soothe the angry skin.
Even when the rash begins to
fade, do not stop using Resinol too
soon. The eruptions Of psoriasis
have a tendency to recur. For this
reason it is advisable to continue
Resinol applications to soothe the
irritation, as long as any trace Of
it remains.
Get Resinol Ointment and Soap
at any drug store. Sample free.
