TAX RATE LIMIT
BY LAW IS URGED
Dah|gren Terrace Citizens
Propose $1.75 Maximum.
Ask Cut Meanwhile.

The Dahlgren Terrace Citizens As
sociation last night asked that the
District tax rate on real property be
limited by law at maximum of SITS
per hundred. An immediate decrease
of the present rate to $3.50 per hun
dred also was advocated.
THE association firmly believes"
said Francis J. Mcdonald, president,
that real property is carrying more
of the burden than any other type
of taxed property. Some limitation
should be enacted by statutory law
limiting the tax rate on real property"
A $40,o00000 budget for the 1910
fiscal year in the District of Columbia
again was eSvocated by the associa-
ton.
Public Defender Urged.
Creation of the office of public de-
fender, with a sufficient staff to carry
out the objectives of the office, was
proposed by the association to care for
those in criminal or equity law cases
who cannot afford counsel. Mr.. NC
Donald told the association the present
system of appointing attorneys in the
courtroom for clients of limited means
was not producing best results in the
interests of justice.
The Federation of Citlzens' Associa-
tons was requested to urge the ap-
pointment of a peoples counsel and
to consider the feasibility of provid-
ing competent staff to protect the
interests of the people in utilities
matters.
An increase in the personnel of
the Public Utility Commission was
favored to increase efficiency of the
functions of that body The Fedora
ton was asked to advise Congress OF
the position Of the association in both
matters.
Specific Fiscal Policy Asked.
The adoption of sound fiscal policy
based on formula which would set
up a definite relation between the
District of Columbia and the Federal
Government was favored. The lump
sum" method was opposed because
of its f1exibility.
The resignation of A. F. E. Scheer.
for many years a leader in civic work
in Northeast Washington and dele
gate to the Northeast Conference and

Mcdonald. Mr.. Scheer is moving
from the area.

A recent film about the early
days of black gold in Pennsyl-

visitors to Titusville, near Oil
City, III northwestern Pennsyl-
vania. Travellers came far and
near to see the Drake we'll on
Oil Creek, first commercial oil
we'll in the United States.
INSPIRING SPOT
OF course, like the majority
of pioneers, Colonel Drake had
to listen to jeers and even
threats. But within a year the
whole neighborhood was trans
formed. Oil City was founded
and a mighty empire was added
to our resources. Isn't a visit
to such a spot more interesting
than a visit to the ancient
castle of some old marauding
knight?

to view the wonders of the

The traveller who claims to be
familiar with his country has
visited such marvels as Natural
Bridge as we'll as the national
parks. He has visited Mammoth
Cave, Carlsbad caverns, the
Shenandoah caverns and has
gazed upon the marvels of the
Grand Canyon and the Painted
Desert.
The list is almost endless and
we could go on and on citing
spots that, if they were in any
other country, would find hosts
of travellers making long trips
to see them. All we need in this
country is a trusty automobile
or a journey in a comfortable
train or bus to bring us to these
marvels.

are, we were more intrigued by
