BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Elimination from the 1899 District
revenue bill by the House itself of the
unpopular business privilege tax on
gross receipts was predicted last night
by q number of members as the Sub
committee on Fiscal Affairs Of the
District Committee made arrange
ments to complete public hearings on
the measure this week
The Maryland delegation, headed by
Chairman Palmsano of the District
Committee. will take the lead in fight
ing for repeal of the business privilege
levy. The North Carolina delegation
and other groups of House members
representing States within an area of
500 miles Of Washington which have
firms doing business here and are sub
ject to the tax also will take an active
part in the battle.
Mr.. Palmisano said he is confident
the House will remove the business
privilege tax from the bill He pointed
out that if members from various
States which have firms doing busi-
ness in Washington had known the
widespread effects and ramifications
Of the levy last year they would have
objected to it's inclusion in the emer-
gency revenue bill for the current
fiscal year.
Complaints Heard.
The latest protest against continu-
alton of the business privilege tax
came from Representative Mapes. Re-
publican, of Michigan, who about
seven years ago headed a select House
committee appointed to work out q
solution OF the still troublesome prob
lem of fiscal relations between the
Federal and District governments.
Mr. Mapes also sponsored tax in
crease program for the District as a
result of that study. This included
q weight tax on motor vehicles which
Congress put into effect this year.
Mr.. Mapes said he had heard "a
good deal Of complaint" about the
business privilege tax as it affects
firms outside the District. especially
the requirement for payment by the
firms of license fee for its salesmen.
The 1889 bill, however, would remove
the requirement for payment of these
fees. but would force the firms to con-
tinue to procure license for the sales
men.
These firms also would continue to
be required to pay the new proposed
graduated scale of taxation on gross
receipts.
Protests Filed.
Florida vegetable and citrus growers,
through members of the Florida dele
CATION. have threatened to oppose the
business privilege tax on the ground
that Washington commission mer-
chants plan to curtail handling Of
their products if the tax is continued
for another year. The North Caro-
lima delegation has received requests
from furniture manufacturing Arms
in that State to fight the tax.
The most vigorous protest, however,
is to be filed with the subcommittee
tomorrow by 400 Baltimore Arms,

Then roll the meat up and put it in the ice

cook it, scar it without burning the flour
and then it goes into turkey roaster, with
Worcestershire. catsup. plenty of thinly
sliced Spanish onions, can of tomatoes and
sometimes tomato puree - but no water
The meat is now ready to be roasted and this
will take about three hours. When it's finished
you'll have lot of nice gravy"
The meat" Rochelle adds, ''is so tender
that you can cut it with fork"
The two vegetables we should like to men,
ton especially in connection with Rochelle
are asparagus with Hollandaise sauce - don't
be afraid to try Hollandaise, for we can tell
you how to make it by fool-proof recipe -
and eggplant in two forms. First is baked
eggplant; and second we mention eggplant
souffle with cheese top. This is distinct
variation from the more familiar ways of
serving eggplant and it is excellent.
For dessert Rochelle likes chocolate cake -
and we suggest a recipe that includes the
addition of coffee flavor and nuts. Chocolate
ice cream is also favorite with her And here
we are able to supply you, if you like, with an
inexpensive recipe that is very easy to make

- The words are keynote to the
mind and personality of the dark-haired,
gray-eyed, young motion-picture star. who
has turned her back temporarily on the temp
tation of long term contracts to begin period
OF free-lancing.
Small boned, slender, and delicately mod
eled, Rochelle was designed by nature to be
fastidious - mentally as we'll as physically.
She does not like commonplaceness and she
does not intend to be dull. She sheathes an
iron purpose in her flowerlike loveliness.
This was quality she needed when, with her
family, she left her native Oklahoma in 1890
for the land of golden-gleaming oranges -
and of Hollywood.
She had had dramatic lessons. She was ready
for chance in pictures But pictures kept
her waiting for three years. And then in 1893,
coincidence gave her small part in picture
being made by Oklahoma s most famous son,
Will Rogers. Unimportant though her role
was, Rochelle's real opportunity had come;
and in the next four and half years she made
some eighteen important pictures.
Rochelle likes the Wes. She likes the life
they live there, and the things they eat there.
Especially she likes oranges Il eat lot of
oranges" she says. Il like them in their
natural state love orange juice. I'm fond of
salads made with oranges. For instance,
orange and avocado combine to make de-
lightful salad.
Then there is an orange and cottage cheese
salad which often have for lunch. 1t is not
only very pleasing to the taste, but very easy
on the figure When am working in pictures,
it is very important not to gain weight. But
can have as much as like of this salad and
get nourishment, too"
Orange flavor figures again in some special
parker house rolls which Rochelle talks about,
and for which we shall be glad to send a
recipe to readers who would like to have it.

Southern Fare Plan
Hearing Date Set

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission today set for argument on
December the application of the
Southern Railway to cancel COM
mutation fares between Washington
md points in Virginia within a
hdius of approximately IS miles.
The case will be heard by di-
lision 4, composed of Commissioners
fIeyer, Porter and Mahafie. The
Eouthern is proposing the cancella-
ton as a forerunner to taking off
three trains, declaring that declin-
ing revenues are foricng this STEP
The move has been vigorouly pro-
tested by commuters who use the
service, inasmuch as they will now
be required to pay 2 cents a mile
instead of being able to take adj
vantage of the monthly or quarterly
communication tickets, which are sold
at fraction of that cost.
The Southern is proposing to cut
out these schedules as of February
! next, and an examiner for the
I. c. c., Frank C. Weems, who heard
the case at the outset, has recon-
mended that the necessary permits
sion be given the carrier.

wrote to the commission complain
ing that on two occasions the So
ciety had heard a jazz orchestra

Japanese Extending
Drive From Canton

HONG KONG, Nov. 2 (P.-Jan-
anese air and naval forces today
bore the brunt of the extensive cam
paign radiating from the captured
southern China city Of Canton.
Japanese planes in an attack on
Sheki killed so and wounded 60.
Incendiary bombs started a number
of fires and houses were damaged
extensively. The injured were taken
to Macao, across the mouth Of the
Canton River from Hong Kong.
Canton dispatches indicated jap
anese naval forces and infantry de-
tachments were pushing steadily
west from Shiuhing, IS miles south
and west of Canton itself.
Reports not officially confirmed
said the British gunboat Robin and
four river steamers carrying women
and children refugees from Wuchow
to Canton were bottled in the West
River there. They were caught be-
tween q boom laid across the river
by Chinese and dangerous mines.
Chinese heard more than 10000
troops arrived at Annoy, southern
port in Fukien Province, to reinforce
Canton units; and similarly that the
Japanese garrison at Fenglingtu,
Southern Shensi, had been increased
preparatory to a new drive into

Subsidies 10 Competition
Hit by Railroad Man

BY the Associated fleSS.
CHICAGO, Nov. Fired w. Sar-
gent, president of the Chicago g.
Northwestern Railway Co., asserted
today, THE railroad problem will
never be solved under the present
scheme of subsidies to the chief
competitors of the railroads"
The premise that railroads have
a monopoly of transportation has
failed" he told the Association of
Commerce gathering in a prepared
address. "It is this false premise
that has been the basis for subsi-
dizing most of the other competitive
forms of transportation. Not only
have these subsidies come direct
from the tax-paying public, but they
are forced from the railroads them
selves under such laws as the Deni-
son Act.
In my judgment, either the sub
sides will have to be removed and
unjust requirements repealed, and
each kind of transportation stand
squarely on its own merits, or all
will have to be subsidized alike"
