operated, "a racket" said that many
cab licenses are held by part-time
drivers who might be permitted to
keep their licenses while would be
full-time operators might be de-
prived of licenses.
THE f1exibility in cab numbers
means great uncertainty to all con-
cerned in the business" Mr.. Roberts,
a supporter of the BILL said. He add
ed that except on rainy nights, many
cabs are out of operation.
He assailed the method of opera
ton in the system as a cab
selling business, with the cab owners
eager to keep as many cabs on the
street as possible because the own
ers take their income in rentals
from the drivers.
Mr.. Keech said that his interest
in the legislation was for stabilizing
the business and aiding traffic. He
said that the limitation process
would be gradual, pointing to these
sections in the bill
To accomplish a reduction in
such vehicles to the number deter
mined and fixed by the Public Util-
tiles Commission. no outstanding
lawfully issued taxicab license or
licenses shall be revoked or re-
scinded nor shall its or their re-
newal to the same licensee be denied.
Until such number is reached by
voluntary surrender of license or
licenses by the owner OR owners
thereof, or by failure to renew
license or licenses, or through for
felture according to law of the right
to hold or operate under such license
or licenses by the licensee, or through
any or all of said causes combined,
no new license or licenses shall oe
issued nor shall any outstanding IL
cense or licenses be permitted to be
sold, assigned or transferred"
Mr.. Roberts said the bill would as
sist the drivers toward the unioniza-
ton that they have meyer been able
to obtain.
The Public Utilities Commission
should have the limitation power
as soon as the bill should become
law, all the witnesses agreed. The
bill now carries a 30-day clause.
Several companies, Mr.. Roberts
said, are ready to set up fleets here
before the 30-day grace period ex-
pires.
Opponents of the bill will be heard
by the committee next Tuesday.

Outlines Federation Position.
Aside from indorsing the Overton
formula, Mr.. Edwards outlined the
position previously taken by the
Federation with respect to the tax
program. It's program, in brief, fol-
lows:
l. That Congress provide by statu-
tory enactment that the maximum
rate on real property shall not ex-
ton.
2. That the present tax on in
tangible personal property be re-
tanned. but that teeth" be put into
existing law.
3. That the business privilege tax
on gross receipts be not re-enacted
after its expiration June 80.
4. That all utility corporation be
required to pay per cent tax
on gross receipts with the exception
of the Capital Transit Co., which
should be allowed a per cent rate.
These rates are l per cent higher
than those proposed in the tax pro-
gram under consideration by the
subcommittee.
5. That there be no general net
income tax applying either to indi-
viduals or corporations.
s. That the proposed retail sales
tax be not enacted.
Yield Estimated at Sal, 1,000, 900.
Mr.. Edwards explained that the
Federation's program would yield
Sal 100000 in the general fund,
calculated as follows:
Estimated revenue under present
tax setup, $32 100000.
paid by public utility companies
under gross receipt taxes proposed
by the Federation, 100000
Estimated Federal payment under
Overton formula, $8,00O,OO0.
The So, ,500,0 900 figure is based on
81 so real estate tax and without
the business privilege tax. The SITS
real estate rate, Mr.. Edwards ex-
planned, would produce $3,3O0,OOO in
additional revenue.
Nichols Is Interested"
Chairman Nichols said he was
deeply interested" in the Fedora
tion's program and asked its rep
resentatives to furnish the subcom-
mittee with a more complete break
down of its figures.
If what you propose is correct" :"
said Representative Nichols, this
subcommittee has been wasting its
time. We don't want to enact taxes
that are not needed"
Ernest F. Henry OF the Petworth
Citizens Association indorsed the
tax program as outlined in the Pond
report, which the subcommittee has
under consideration. Opposition to
the sales tax was registered by Paul
Sharrenberg Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Mrs. Ernest Howard of the Dis
trict Federation of Women's Clubs
reaf1rmed that organizations in
dorsement of the sales tax and
pointed out it would make the thou
sands of tourists who come Ia
Washington each year help support
the District government.

THE court replaces the duel; the
Legislature supplants the unre-
strained power of each to decide for
himself. They make the rules and
act as the umpire, while we play the
game.
Its a game that has room for
home runs and strikeouts. But there
are also fouls.
Baseball without umpires would
be a grand row. Democracy without
law would be anarchy. But no UNI
pire can take the place of the rules
of the game, and the best umpire
can't make a good game if the
rules are bad.
Both rules and the umpire must
be fair. Otherwise the game is
spoiled. So with democracy"
Dean Rutledge had been strongly
indorsed for appointment to the
United States Supreme Court to
fill the vacancy caused by Justice
Brandeis' retirement.
President Roosevelt is understood
to have selected Dean Rutledge for
the high court post in Washington
principally upon the recommended
ton OF Attorney General Murphy.
The nomination was sent to the
Senate at noon today and the White
House has every reason to feel that
continuation will be forthcoming
without delay.
In his recommendation to the
President, Attorney General Murphy
referred to Dean Rutledge as being
OF outstanding character and integ-
rlty and as being legal scholar of
repute with broad liberal view
point and man eminently qualified
to serve on the Federal Court of
Appeals here.
Dean Rutledge is recognized as an
authority on matters affecting the
western section of the country, such
as Indian problems, water rights and
land cases.

Of fare making would change the
relation of the cab driver and the
cab owner and lessen a finance COM
pany's authority.
Supporting this view, Mr.. Wender
asked the bill to be amended to
provide for refusal of permits to
those persons already employed in
other gainful occupations Such
a provision would strike at the gov
ernment employees now occasionally
operating cabs.
Representative McArdle COM
mented:
You might put provision in the
bill that would prevent the finance
company from robbing the driver. -
Certain finance firms also domi-
nate the cab business through sales
of cab insurance, which the law re-
quires each to carry, Mr.. Davis said.
He pointed out that the insurance
requirement has not reduced the
number of cabs, which now total
about 1000.

ment.
Although Fern place is not in the
Manor Park area, members of that
group fear this type of dwelling
may spread to other sections of the
city. adversely affecting property
values. unless corrective action is
| taken Immediately. They point out
that similar houses are already be-
ing built on Blair road between
Tuckerman and Underwood streets
NV, which is within the Manor
Park neighborhood.

lively small width They are de-
tached brick dwellings Is feet wide
with side entrances to be built on
lots 80 feet wide. as compared with
the average width of "a feet on a
40-foot lot.
According to George A. Corbin,
president of the Manor Park as
sociation, this enables approximate
ly II of these smaller type houses
to be erected in space where nor
mally only five could be built. He
added that numerous small build
ings such as these, built closely to-
gether for rental purposes, and ad-
jacent property of higher value
overcroWds the land and lowers
property values wherever built.
In appearing before the board, the
group will attempt to secure a mimi
mum lot occupany requirement be-
low which no builder can go. Ad-
mitting that at present there is no
zoning regulation prohibiting the
erection of the II dwellings and
others like them, Mr.. Corbin ex-
pressed the hope that a higher
interim" requirement for the per-
centage of lot occupancy would be
obtained. This ordinance, he point
ed out, would top building opera
tions on the houses until perma-
nent regulation is issued.
