SaIes-Income Tax
Indorsed by Unit in
Columbia Heights
Citizens Forum Fuvors
Liquor Dispensories,
Opposes Race Track

A per cent sales tax linked with
q levy on incomes in excess of $10,-
900, with exemption of several neces-
sities-a plan embodied in bill now
before the House District Commit
tee-was favored by the Citizens
Forum of Columbia Heights last
night in a divided vote.
w. w. Coulliette made the motion
favoring the combination tax and
debated the proposal with A. M. Ed
wards. Mr.. Coulliette contended
that the tax would reap benefits for
the District from the $4,000 tourists
who visit the city each day.
Government-contr liquor dis
pensaries for the District were in
dorsed to increase revenue and to
eliminate sales to minors by way of
telephone orders. Six dispensaries
were recommended.
Parade for Vote Suggested.
A parade of District residents was
suggested in an effort to obtain the
vote.
One member contended that if
the suffragettes were successful in
getting the women's vote following
the parade they staged preceding
the Inauguration Day of 1918, then
why shouldn't District vote seekers
use similar methods?
The forum unanimously opposed
a race track in the District and
asked immediate demolition of con-
demned houses on recently pur-
chased playground site in the Co.
lumbia Heights area. Police have
linked several crimes with these
empty houses.
Newton T Brewer, jr., represent
ing the District tuberculosis Asso-
citation, spoke, asking the forums
support for a convalescent home ad-
vocated by Commissioner Allen. The
matter was referred to a special
committee. A short motion picture
on tuberculosis was shown.
Boys Club Committee Named.
A committee of five members was
appointed to aid in the Metropolitan
Police Boys Club campaign for
funds. Members are Mrs. w. B.
Wender, Mrs. Charles P. Keller, Mrs.
c. J. Fernald, Vernon Brown and
w. L. Ford.
Rounding of the crubing at Four
teenth street and Spring road NV.
was asked to correct a hazardous
traffic condition. A change in the
regulation of traffic. lights at Six
teenth and Harvard streets NV.
also was requested.
The meeting was held in the
Powell Junior High School.

seems only a drop in the bucket,
note that we will produce 10000 tons
this year.
Under government subsidized
plant expansion to the tune of
about half billion dollars cone
twentieth of the present national
defense outlay we probably could
be supplying the full demand in
i8 months to two years.
Synthetic rubber is three to five
times as costly as the natural
product under the present set-up.
This will not be true even year
frcm now. 1t does not mean that
finished synthetic rubber pro-
ducts will cost anything like that
much more.
To conserve rubber, we could
have driveless days for our 3d.
0C0,000 cars and trucks. We could
use retreads when the old tires
blew out. We could decrease the
national speed limit rubber ex-
perts estimate that if everybody
held throttles to 80 or 40 miles
per hour. it would add months to
our rubber supply. We even
could reclaim rubber from worm
eaten rubber bands, bursted toy
balloons and tired blimDs. Some
where along the line we would
turn to our approximately eight
months supply OF raw and fin
ished rubber.
