CHEVY CHASE UNIT
+ TO HOLD ELECTION
Action Also to Be Taken
Wednesday on Change
in Constitution.

An amendment to the constitution
Of the Chevy Chase Citizens Associ-
alton which would make the ONCE of
secretary appointive rather than elec-
tive will be voted on at the regular
January meeting, scheduled for We'd
nesday at 8 pm. In the E. v. Brown
School.
Under the proposed new amendment
the secretary would be appointed by
the president, with the approval Of the
Executive Committee. Sponsors Of
the measure claim that under this
method the president could name some
one with whom he could work more
freely or who lives in the same neigh
borhood and could be reached more
easily. This proposal was to be voted
on at the last meeting. but was held
over one month so it could be discussed
at the annual meeting, at which time
election Of officers also Is held.
Candidates for Office, named by the
Nominating Committee, are: Lewis
Radcliffe, president; John r. Man.
ming, first vice president; Fred Emory,
second vice president; George Diffen-
bach, treasurer. Edwin S. Hege, for the
past three years president of the asso-
ciation, announced at the last meet
ing that he would not be a candidate
to succeed himself, but was nominated
from the floor for the position of Sec
ond vice president. George Fraser also
has been nominated for that post.
At Wednesdays meeting Mr.. Hege
will give the annual report of the pres
ident, a regular feature at the Janu-
ary meeting since he took office three
years ago.
Also scheduled for Wednesday night
is an open forum discussion of the Dis
trict traffic situation, with Inspector
William E. Holmes, head Of the traffic
division, as speaker.

trying to make the District suffer
for having couple of dozen rich
residents with fine houses would
never think for moment OF treat
ing in the same way any town whose
vote would be necessary for their
reelection"
A failure to visualize themselves
as legislators for the voteless and
unrepresented Of the National Cap
ital community is responsible for
just such a condition as that men,
toned by Senator Root. 1t is a
failure on the part Of many in Con-
gress to recognize residents Of the
District of Columbia as fellow
American citizens fully deserving
of all the fundamental rights, priv
ileges and protection guaranteed
to their voting brethren in the
States.
The very fact of being deprived
of the vote and direct repre-
sentation would seem to place
heavier obligation upon Congress
to protect their rights and privi-
leges. to heed their wishes and
treat them with the same consid-
Grafton as they would give to the
voters back in the States who have
sent them to Congress.
Local civic leaders are wonder
ing whether it will ever be pos
sible to solve this problem through
convincing their legislators of this
obligation. Many confess that
they consider the obtaining of
voting representation for the Dis
trict Of Columbia In both the Sen
ate and House of Representatives
as well as in the electoral college
as being the only channel through
which this problem will ever be
solved Pending this ultimate So
luton by that truly American plan
they continue to pray and petition
that their wishes and desires will
be formulated into laws.

~ ISTRICT affairs engaged
the attention last week Of
three subcommittee Of
- the House Of Representa-
tives. The District Subcommittee
of the Committee on Appropria-
tions has continued to hear Dis
trict officials on the 1899 budget.
Representatives Of organizations
and individual citizens will follow
and the committee, it is reported,
expects to complete hearings in
few days. The bill will then be
written up and introduced in the
House probably by January "a.
The Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee
of the District Committee has been
holding hearings with the view to
the formulation of a revenue bill to
take care Of the Districts antici-
pated deficit District officials
we're first heard and these are to be
followed by the Citizens Advisory
Committee on Taxation and then
organizations and citizens.
The Public Utilities Subcom-
mittee of the District Committee
began its proposed probe into the
affairs of the Capital Transit Co.
Members of the commission ap-
peared and presented facts and fig
ures in justification of their order
revising the rates and fixing the
fair return to the company. The
indications are that as the figures
of the commission are presented
and digested by the subcommittee
the entire matter will get down to
a more practical basis. It Is even
predicted that the committee will
see that Congress has seriously
handicapped the commission by
reducing its technical PERSONAL
when the intricate problems in
volved demanded an increase.
The District is again threatened
with an amendment to the liquor
law SO as to permit sales after
midnight on Saturday. When this
was proposed some time ago there
was general civic objection that
was needed by Congress. The i'm
mediate need, claimed for this
legislation, is to premit partici-
pants in the Presidents birthday
anniversary ball to continue their
revelry over into the early hours
Of Sunday.
The Federation of Citizens As
sociations met on Saturday, jan
uary 8, and again last night. A
very heavy calendar and the de-
mand for extended debate on
nearly every item and the con-
tinued additions to the calendar
give indications of q jam which
will be difficult to dispose Of
promptly.

Drafting a New Tax Law
Presents Real Difficulties.

lV1C LEADERS are by no
means optimistic over the
prospect Of an equitable tax law
coming out of the subcommittee
of the House District Committee.
Press reports seem to indicate that
some committee members began
the hearings with minds pretty
we'll made up in some particulars
before any of the evidence was
presented. For example, it has
been announced that any proposal
tv increase the Federal share would
be out and that the Objectionable
business privilege tax and the in
creased rate on real estate will be
continued beyond June 80 next,
when they were to have expired by
limitation.
The repeal of the business priyi-
lege tax and reduction Of the IS
per cent increase in the real estate
tax were recommended by the Dis
trict Commissioners Tax Commit
tee and also by the Advisory Com
mittee on Taxation. Some mem
bers Of the subcommittee confess
that they cannot understand why
any Of the citizen representatives
should seek to repeal the business
privilege tax. These legislators,
however, are unfamiliar with the
fact that many of our active and
civic-minded citizens are engaged
in business and are required to pay
sthis tax.
In civic circles the consensus is
clearly in favor of a general sales
tax with exemptions of food, medi-
cine and possibly the lower priced
clothing. Some figures have been
given out by one member of the
subcommittee in an endeavor to
prove the injustice and burden of
the sales tax on the poor. These
figures appear illogical and far
from convincing.
The sales tax is generally pre.
ferred to an income tax as meet
ing more readily the peculiar local
conditions. These are unlike the
conditions prevailing in any other
community. The theory of the
income tax. based on ability to pay,
would fall down completely with
the many exemptions which Con-
gress would write into the law. It
would be inadequate as a revenue
producer and impose an unfair
burden upon q comparatively
small part Of the local population.
From the viewpoint Of the in
formed District citizen, the first
and fundamental need in the
financing of the National Capital
is the recognition by Congress
that the primary, obligation for
the support and development of
the beautiful seat of government
rests squarely upon the Federal
Government and that the local
participation Is incidental. Many
believe that there should be a
complete and scientific revision of
the District tax structure and that
1t should begin with a definite pro-
vision for a liberal payment by the
National Government, preferably
on a fixed proportionate basis
which would afford the local COM
munity protection against any
congressional extravasance Ut the
expense Of the local taxpayers.

GABBY HARTNETT IS
BOSS OF THE CUBS
Veteran Catcher Replaces
Charlie Grimm AS Boss
Of Faltering Chicago

Chicago, July 81 (Aio)-Big Charles
foo (Gabbv) Hartnett got his chance
last night to manage the Chicago
Cubs, the club he has served SO bril-
liantlv as player for the past Is
wears. TIartnett, 5racketed with base
balls greatest catchers, was named
plaving boss by Owner Phil K. Wrlg-
lev to replace Charlie Grimm, manag-
or of the club since August 1882, the
appointment to become effective to-
day in a double-header with the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
Grimm released outright and with
out immediate plans, will go back 20
his farm near st. Louis. He SAID nc
hoped to make some connection IN
the major leagues.
Wrigley said the former first base
man who succeeded Roger Hornsby
as manager in mid-seasOn of 1897
would draw his full salary on con-
tract which does not expire until
December 81. Hartnett has been Of
fered no new contract, Wrigley said.
and will finish the year under his
present player-coach agreement.
1.-The decision to change was not
sudden one the Cub owner said. Il
have been thinking about it for some
time. In fact, I have thought about
it so much that 1 have lost sleep, and
have almost lost my appetite.
Charlie Grimm has done a swell
job, but 1 decided that a change
would be best for the organization.
Grimm gave us everything he had,
but the club has not done as we'll as
we felt it should"
CONTRARY to a rather general be-
lief" he said Il am very much inter-
ested in the Chicago National league
baseball club, and this caused me to
make a change.
