D. c. SALE TAX
PLAN TO CARRY
AN EXEMPTION
Limit to Be Between
10 and so Cents

A local sales tax exemption on
small purchases, the limit to be be-
tween 10 and so cents, will be
recommended by the joint con-
gressional committee on internal
revenue legislation, it was learned
today.
1t was learned on good authority
that when the committee presents
its recommendations on the Dis
trict's new tax program to Con-
gress, the proposed percent sales
tax will be fixed so the poor man
will not be unduly hit.
Although the exact exemption
could not be learned, it was under
stood that purchases of considera-
bly, less than so cents would not be
subject to the tax, while the
floor" will be considerably more
than 10 cents.
MAY USE TOKENS
1t also is expected that if the
sales tax is enacted it will be col.
lected by use of tokens, already in
use in many Jurisdiction which
have levied this particular type Of
taxation
Although the joint committee
is not expected to make any
specific recommendation as to the
method of collection, it is known
that Major Daniel j. Donovan,
District Auditor, favors the tokens.
The Joint committee is expected
| to explain in it's report the various
types of collection methods, with
particular emphasis on the tokens
and on the coupon" system in ef-
feet in Ohio.
SYSTEM EXPLAINED
Under the coupon method, re-
tailers must purchase the coupons,
giving the customer one half and
retaining the other half for their
own records.
The joint committee, which
must make its report, by January
IS, already has sent its report to
be printed and will meet soon,
probably early next week, with the
citizens advisory committee on
taxation to discuss the final report.
Sales tax features of the report
are combined with a $4,000 ex-
emption income tax, as well as
recommendations for repeal of the
business privilege and intangible
property taxes.

Producing Future Mechanics
1T Abbott VOCltiOnAL School
Boy Students Get
Real Training in
Auto Repairing

Clustered around an automoblle
engine just removed from a sick
looking 1887 sedan, a group of
students attending the Abbot Voca.
tional School auto shop, listened
intently as w. L. Drissel identified
the various parts and their all
ments.
Barring the greasy overalls and
m h anical atmosphere, they
might have been medical students
studying a cadaver.
AS a matter of fact, when they
graduate after three years of
study, they will be doctors of a
sort. But instead of serving in
terneshlpS in hospitals they will
work as firSt-class apprentices in
Washington's garages until they
can qualify as fullnedged me
chanics at $40 per.
THOROUGH TRAINING
Approximately 81 students take
the automotive course at Abbot's
each year.
They receive thorough training
IN elementary mechanics though
their training in fender and body
work is practically nil due to lack
OF equipment. DriSSel said:
Until we can teach that. the
Washington Automotive Trade
Association will not be particu.
larly interested in us. There is,
you know, great demand for
experienced men in this field.
But we lack sufficient teachers
we could use two more-and
we should have a beginners
school to start the boys on dead
machinery.
WORK ON OWN CARS
"As it is. the boys work on
their own cars, and private ma
chimes brought in. We charge
very low rateS-not because we
are competitors but because our
boys are apprentices and folks
who bring their cars here know
that"
He indicated small, wiry LAD
lying supine under an antiquated
coupe:
George, there. is fixing his
own car. He ran into a street.
car-or which was it, George?"
George. who can do body and
fender work despite the lack OF
equipment, grinned:
Nav! The streetcar ran into
me-"
THEY LIKE ENGINES
Some day." sadi George, as he
wiped the grease off his hands
I'm going to have a new car
when I learn to take care of it.
He indicated the wooden running
board he had substituted for the
original, 1T won't look 50 bad
painted"
The shop was cluttered with
automobiles in various stages OF
dishabille. One denuded car had
supplied parts for several other
machines so that there was little
left save the steering wheel and
I THAT had been promised.
The boys are intensely inter
eSted in their work and few leave
before the course is complete. ALI
when asked how they came tc
pick automotive work replied:
"Oh, we always liked fooling
with engines"

PLEA
U. S. Tolerance Urged
Bu DR.. Studebaker

A plea for tolerance was voiced
today by DR.. John w. Studebaker,
United States Commissioner of Ed
ucation.
Commencing the action of the
New York City Board of Educa-
ton, in inaugurating school as
semblies for instruction in racial
and religious tolerance, DR.. Stude-
baker said:
Teaching of tolerance is one
Of the major problems for Amer
ican education this year.
1T is important that we
strengthen our defenses of our
democratic ideas and practices
against the inroads of other doc
trineS, which lack scientific and
spiritual juStificationS."

MORE POLICE
DEMANDED BY
REP. SCHULTZ
Asks Increase Here OIL
At Least so Men

At least so additional police.
men, requested by the Commis-
sioners but denied by the Budget
Bureau, were demanded today by
Representative william T. Schultz
Cd Indiana, as the price OF
Washington's traffic safety.
Mr.. Schultz, who probably will
continue his craftsmanship Of the
House District traffic Subcommit,
tee when the House is organized
for the new session, criticized the
1910 budget presented to Congress
yesterday for its failure to include
the Commissioners request for
additional policemen.
I'm the past five years." he
said, while the city of Wash
ington has seen its greatest
growth. only a few policemen
have been added to the force"
GROWTH CITED
He pointed out that washing.
ton has grown from a city OF
ATS, 900 population in 1888 to more
than 100000, with a resultant in.
crease in the number of automo-
biles.
"An increase in the number
of policemen" he said, "is abso-
lutely essential for traffic con-
troll"
At the same time however, he
congratulated police, traffic and
other District officials, as well as
the newspapers and the broad
casting companies, for their Co
operation in reducing the mum
ber of traffic fatalities and acci'
dents in 1888.
In the past year, the number
Of traffic deaths was reduced
from LOG in 1887 to So in 1888,
This was described by Traffic Di'
rector william A. Van Duzer as
the smallest number since 1888
FEWER INJURED
The number of injuries went
down from 4,655 to 3,727, a de.
crease of 928, and the number OF
accidents involving property dam
age dropped from s,615 to 1909
or 1906.
The Budget Bureaus recon-
mendations, in many cases
Slashed under the Commissioners
pruned budget, was received with
much criticism by District Off
Cials. Comment follows:
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
1--WE cut the estimates OF the
various departments by more
than $16, ,OOO, 900, and hoped the
Budget Bureau would approve
our figures.
Lieut.. Col. David McCoach,
jr., Engineer Commissioner:
Il feel the same way as Com
missioner Hazen."
DR.. George F. Bowerman, Ii
brarian:
Most disheartening."
MRS. DOYLE'S VIEW
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi
dent of the Board of Education:
II am glad to hear we're going
to get So more teachers, but we
need more than that to cut
down congestion and give the
necessary amount of individual
attention to pupils"
L. A. Carruthers, president Of
the Federation of Citizens Associa.
tionS:
II still can see no reason why
the District budget must be
passed on by the Federal bureau.
Why should it be assumed that
the Federal bureau knows more
than local officials about needs
here? I would like to see the rec
concentrations of the District
Commissioners go straight to
Congress"

Hunters Quit When Bear
Turns Tables on Them

KELSO, WASH. - Clyde Mellitt
and Joseph St. Onge returned from
hunting trip to report fantastic
escape from death at the claws of
large black bear.
st. Onge sighted the bear first, and
his shot knocked the animal off a
log. The hunter laid aside his rifle
and climbed over the log. A wound
ed and enraged beast met him. The
hunter turned and fled.
He then called Mellitt and re-
turning to the place where St. Onge
had laid aside his rifle, the two
hunters separated in an attempt to
pick up the bears trail.
Mellitt had progressed only
short distance when the bear
charged him. A frantic chase en-
sued, with Mellitt dashing madly
around stump and the wounded
bear behind him.
Mellitt's shouts attracted St.
Onge, but was afraid to risk shot
for fear Of hitting his comrade. FL
nally, however, he fired a shot into
the air and frightened the bear
away.
The hunters decided they had
been hunted enough for one day,
and made no further attempt to fol.
low the wounded animal.
