Randolph Proposes
1-Cent Increase
In D. {. Gas Tax
Committee Head Hopes
Bill Will Help Solve
Fiscal Problems

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee has introduced
bill to increase the gasoline tax from
2 to cents per gallon, saying that
he hoped it would help solve the
recurrent question of fiscal relations
between the Federal and District
governments.
He said his bill would produce
81 1888 ,429.59 additional revenue with
relatively slight cost for collection
This was taken by many with close
interest in District legislation as a
strong indication that sales tax
for the District will be considered in
the next session.
How the proposed increase in the
gasoline tax would solve the ques-
ton of fiscal relations was a puzzle
to District officials and citizens, be-
cause it would have no influence to-
ward causing Congress to increase
the Federal contribution toward
support of the National Capital, and
because under the Gasoline Tax Act
the funds collected cannot be di-
verted for general expenses of the
local government. District officials
have repeatedly emphasized that the
gasoline tax revenues are already
sufficient for current highway needs
to which the gas-taX fund is Spe-
officially and exclusively dedicated
II am advised" Chairman Ran
dolph said, that there were 133,-
842,959 gallons of gasoline sold in
the District at retail in 1888. If a
retail sales tax of l per cent per
gallon were levied it would produce
ST 1888 ,429 SO, and this would be COL
lected with very little administra-
tive expense"
Regarding fiscal relations, Mr..
Randolph did not explain how the
proposed increase in the gasoline
tax would improve the situation
In recent years. he said. we
have all had ample opportunity to
become acquainted with the complex
fiscal structure of the District OF
Columbia. The arguments for the
simpllflcation of that structure have
produced two schools of thought
diametrically opposed to each other.
On one hand are the advocates of
an increased Federal contribution.
They are opposed by that group
which advocates increased taxation
for the residents of the District.

DETROIT, Aug. 5.-Terms of the
settlement agreement between the
c. I. o. United Auto Workers and
General Motors Corp disclosed to-
day tnat the corporation had won
a promise of no more work stoppages
because of labor troubles at least
for the duration of the 1910 model
production season.
At the same time the U. A. W.
c. l. o. won wage increases for some
skilled workers and a guarantee of
no discrimination against strikers.

bargaining recognition for its COM
mittees in AZ plants of the corpora

other plants in which both unions
have committees provisions were
made to hear both sides.
The union lost it's demand for a
union label on tools and dies.
Strikers Vote on Pact.
Voting on ratification of the agree
ment proceeded today among the
1900 skiller workers affected by the
strike. and union officials said only
handful of dissenting votes had
been received The agreement has
been approved by the unions Inter-
national Executive Board.
Approval by the union members
generally expected today, will start
tool and die workers back to their
jobs Monday morning in II plants
where the walkout began a month
ago. Completion of re-tooling opera
tions will lead to the rehiring of
10000 production workers now on
seasonal lay-offs.
Wage increases to tool and die
makers and maintenance men were
made through reducing differentials
between plants and establishing a
standard rate schedule, although the
unions demand for fiat 10 cents
an hour increase for all skilled
workers was not granted.
Double time will be paid for Sun
day and legal holidays, with a few
exceptions, and time and a half will
be paid for Saturday work in excess
of the 4O-hour weekly minimum.
Will Extend Security Plan.
The corporation will extend its
income security plan to employees of
Fisher plant No. %, the worlds
largest die plant, in Detroit, and will
make a study with the aim of get
ting more work in the plant or
rotating employment in order to
give the men wore work.

certain loan provisions, includes a
guarantee of wages for 1850 hours

After two and quarter centuries
of history you can be profoundly
certain of the changeless character
of Rock Greek Cemetery. 1t has
always enjoyed the reputation of
being the most beautiful cemetery
in Washington. Deservedly so
because of its exquisite natural
beauties and that definitely
established management, with an
endowment fund already reaching
nearly a million dollars-which
insures not only perpetual care,
but perpetual guardianship against
any possible deteriorating influence
of speculative ownership.
Rock Greek Cemetery isn't a
business proposition. 1t is sacred,
continuing trust.
We do not employ statesmen to
exploit it. We pay no commissions
to individuals or groups. This
inviolable policy is what has kept
it "Washington's. Most Beautiful
Cemetery" Ideally located within
the city limits, in an environment
definitely protected against
undesirable encroachment. So when
you select Rock Greek Cemetery
as the family place for interment,
it is with assurance for the long
future.
Now, before the necessity to make
hurried decision, why not make
inspection of available sites? Learn
how reasonable are the tariffs
and how assuredly the future is
protected.
You will be under no obligation,
and you will not be importuned.
Decision will be left entirely with
you.

WITHOUT WARNING

Unfair seemed the sudden charge of
Jack Frost across the hills and meadows.
The flowers were still blooming gaily, the
crickets chirping and lizards were lazing
in the warm leaves. The warmth of the COL
den October sun still encouraged tiny
green shoots to keep pushing upward on
the lawn, and the squirrels had given little
thought to the searching out of winter
quarters. Then without word of warning,
Jack Frost came, huffing and putting.
There was great slaughter among the
dahlias and the innocent geranium felt the
foul blow and crumpled Imply in it's box,
while other garden and pit flowers, caught
unprotected, fell tragic victims to the ruth
less onslaught. The hardy zinnias and the
chrysanthemums remained adamant but
over the gardens their heads alone appear
ed unbowed
In vegetable gardens the lusty sweet
potato vines whitened and then turned
black, young bean vines felt the cold kiss
of death and wilted low. The scentful on
ion, as usual, was prepared for the worst,
however, while cabbage and cauliflower
claimed immunity from Jacks harvest.
But all in all it was scurvy trick he
played, this ruthless raider on the staff of
