NICHOLS ASKS

4 F0RCARS
Proposals Voiced at
Hearing on Plan to
Reduce Number

Two members Of the House Dis
trict Committee today proposed an
increase in taxicab fares as a Dis.
trict subcommittee heard cab op.
orators and owners and city Off.
cials approve a bill designed to re-
duce the number of taxicabs
operating in Washington.
Representative Jennings Ran.
dolph CD of West Virginia, chair.
man Of the subcommittee which
held the hearing, expressed his un.
qualified Endorsement of a rate in.
crease, asserting:
'T don't think the taxicab
rates here are high enough.
They should be increased"
The other Endorsement of in.
creases came from Representative
Jack Nichols CD of Oklahoma,
who appeared as the only witness
in opposition to the bill reducing
the number of cabs.
Insurance Proposed
It was Nichols view that the
better way to effect a reduction
would be by enacting compulsory
insurance legislation for taxi
cabs. When it was pointed out
that this would cause the taxi
drivers to pay out more Of their
money, Nichols said:
81 think that could be taken
care of by increasing the zone
fares five cents each. That
would give the drivers enough
additional revenue to allow
them to carry the insurance.
However, his opposition to the
cab reduction bill was based part.
ly on his contention that if any
substantial reductions were af.
fected in the number of cabs,
rates would be increased accord.
ingly. --
He was assured, however, by
members of the Public Utilities
Commission, who attended the
hearing, that so far as they were
concerned the commission would
oppose any increase in rates.
Bill Wins Approval
AS the hearing opened Repre-
sentative Randolph read a letter
from the District Commissioners
approving the cab reduction bill,
and both Riley E. Elgin and
Richmond Keech, chairman and
vice-chairman, respectively, of
the P. U. c., gave hearty indorse.
ment to the proposal.
They explained that there were
more than 4,700 taxicabs in Wash
ington, and that under existing
laws they were powerless to effect
a reduction despite the fact that,
as one witness pointed out. there
are more cabs in Washington than
there are in Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh and Chicago combined.
Under the provisions of pending
legislation, the reduction would
be made by granting the P. U. C..
authority to refuse to issue any
more licenses to operate until the
number of cabs on the street is
reduced to a point where they
deem it sufficient to take care Of
the demands.
Both Representatives Randolph
and Leo Sacks CD of Pennsyl-
vania, expressed disapproval of
Federal and District employees who
drive taxicabs in their spare time.
Representatives of the cab driv-
ers and owners, without exception,
approved the cab reduction DILL.
declaring that with so many cabs
on the streets it was difficult for
the drivers to make a living wage.

Up from the caves Of the Dru-
Idle grove, he has brought this
embodiment of his primal fighting
urge-never more than Sublimated
in the humdrum pursuits Of the
work-a-day world. He has refined
and stepped up the killing lust
through centuries Of watchful
breeding.
The Walmsley family, genera

England, anticipated Mendel, in
their discoveries Of dominant and

ago that Porfirio Canales was
killed in Honduras by the thrust
of the gamecock's gaff in his
heart. The cock was tried in the
criminal court and hanged.
Details Of these sanguinary en-
counters, in which the trained
cocks use their gaff as deity as a
fencer, do not make pleasant read
ing. Through the South, two
inches is the established length
of the gaff; in the North, one and
one-half inches. When the bird is
thus "heeled," the spur is cut down
to about half an inch. Keeling the
cock properly is a highly expert

The fighting cock is supposed
to have descended from the wild
jungle fowl Of India. There Is no
certainty as to this. Other YER
sions assign Persia as his origin.
In both these countries cockfight-
ing was a favorite public sport, as
it was in China and Greece. The
English had fighting cocks as
early as the Twelfth Century.
With the conquest Of India, the
Aseel or Orient bird was brought
back by English officers and this
was the ancestor Of our fighting

The Irish were enthusiasts long
