Hanrahan Says Speed Law
Will Be Enforced

Replying to criticism from the
Hillwood Citizens Association OF
Falls Church concerning arrests Tor
exceeding 40-mile per hour speed
limit on Lee Boulevard in Arlington
County, Va, County Manager Frank
G. Hanrahan today notified the civic
group that Arlington expects to en-
force the speed law.
The Hillwood Association last
week complained that policemen
Turk in bushes and make traffic ar
rests from unmarked automobiles.
II do not feel that the restrictions
in this residential area are too rigid"
Mr.. Hanrahan said, land will there
fore expect the Police Department
to continue to enforce the ordinance.
1T is not my intention to es-
tablish any speed traps in the

county but since there are sufficient
signs clearly to indicate the speed
limit, citizens will be expected to
operate their vehicles within the
law"
At the 1910 session of the Virginia
General Assembly, Arlington was
given the authority to establish traf-
fic regulations within its boundaries.
1t is the only county in Virginia to
have such authority and the patrons
OF the legislation had to overcome
the fears of some lawmakers that
speed traps would be the result.

Tax Experts
Address
A. A. u. w.
Assessment on Pay
Held Preferable
To Sales Levy

The income tax in preference to
sales tax was advocated in prin-
ciple by tax experts last night at
dinner given by the Legislative Com
mittee of the American Association
of University Women at the club
house. 1884 I street NV.
With DR.. Eric Englund of the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics as
guest speaker, the dinner was given
in honor of members of the House
District Committee who have worked
closely with the A. A. U. w. COM
mittee on legislative problems. The
A. A. U. w. committee long has ad-
vocated an income tax biased on
ability to pay" in preference to a
sales tax for the District of Co.
lumbia.
DR.. Englund, who did not direct
his remarks to the local tax prob
lem, approved the income tax as the
most practical and just method of
raising revenue, but added that
fiscal expediency sometimes impelled
imposition of a sales tax. The choice
must be made with consideration
OF community needs and income
revenues, he asserted.
Coyle and Wood Speak.
David Cushman Coyle, author of
handbook used by the A. A. U. w.
committee, and Herbert Wood of
the Internal Revenue Bureau, who
has acted as an adviser on tax prob
lens to the group, also spoke briefly
While the sales tax is largely hid
den, so that thee consumer fire.
quently is not conscious of it, 1t
falls more heavily on the lower
income group than does the income
tax, DR.. Englund said.
I'm my opinion" he said, "a prop
erly conceived income tax is as near
ly unchallengable as can be on
grounds of fairness to the taxpay-
err" He added, however, that one
of its disadvantages was that the
amount of revenue was apt to fluc-
tuate, dropping off in times of de-
preston, when a community was
most in need of revenue. While this
shortcoming did not challenge the
validity of the tax, DR.. Englund de-
clared, Justice and adequacy are
terms which must be considered in
relation to system of taxation"
Sales taxes in which foodstuffs are
exempted are less apt to affect the
lower Income groups, he added.
Mr.. Coyle declared that "a sales
tax is very much like a real estate
tax" adding "the poor people pay
them both"
Both the general sales tax and the
income tax are derived from the in
comes of the people, said Mr.. Wood,
contending, however, that the in
come tax is more just
Verse on Tax Problems.
During dinner, skit, written in
verse by Miss Mildred Wharton,
dealt amusingly with some of the
Districts tax problems. One verse
ran:
Sing a song of taxes,
Evasive District dollars,
Senators and Congressmen
With frowns and wilted collars,
Realtors, bankers, newspapers,
The District Board of Trade
All pulling all directions
To get some taxes paid"
Mrs. William c. Van Week, presi-
dent of the club, presided and Mrs.
Eugene Callaghan, Legislative Com
mittee chairman, introduced the
speakers.
Honor guests were Representatives
Everett Dirksen of Illinois, George
j. Bates of Massachusetts,. James
Seccombe of Ohio, Harry Sandager
of Rhode Island and w. r. Poage of

include questions about divorces.
He asked a senate commerce sub
committee to consider the conse-

in census information if "it means
the loss of job for woman to
tell she was divorced.
Dr. Leon E. Truesdell, census bu-

the committee that many women
would not have to bring up the
past because their present marital
status is married."
