opposition to q provision that would
have applied the local income tax
to that portion of the salaries
earned here by non-residents from
Maryland and Virginia and 80 other
States which have income tax
laws. The bill provided a credit
offset for non-reSidents who pay
taxes In the States in which they
live, and since the tax rate in those
States is higher than the District
rate, none of them would have been
required to pay the local tax. But
charges were made, especially by
Representative Poage. that such a
plan would discriminate" against
non-residents from the IA States
which do not have an income tax.
The first charge that the real
estate tax rate and gasoline taxes
in Washington are too low. came
from Mr.. Poage. He said if these
two items are increased there would
be no need for an income tax.
IF you raise real estate taxes
rents will go up" declared Rep
resentative Dirksen. "And if you do,
all of our constituents will pay the
bill. The rental people here will get
50 for every 81 you raise the real
estate tax rate. Don't kid your
selves about that"

Representative Hinshaw. Repub-
hcan, of California was one of those
who said he believed the real estate
tax rate here is too low. Increase
it Is cents on 500 of assessed
valuation" he declared, land you
won't need an income tax"
The House was told by Mr.. Poage
that if the tax rate on real estate
and gasoline is raised, he did not
believe it would be necessary to
have an income tax to raise revenue
for the municipal government.
Representative Mott, Republican,
Of Oregon said he believed the
present rate of the local income tax
amounts to nothing" why don't
you fix a rate that will raise sub
stantial revenue?" he asked.

The Gulf Widens

Before this General Assembly met,
there We're those who predicted it
would be a conservative body, that
it would safeguard the peoples funds
and would not permit spending de
mands to run away with Ii. And it
may yet urn out to be that sort Of
a body, but up 10 this good hour
there has been little in its doings TO
offer hope and encouragement to
the people who VIII be called upon

Some measures that have already
been offered and others that are as
suredly on the way would chop Off
certain tax leVies that now exist,
while others would establish vast
~generosities through great %appropria-
tons, many of them in no sense
necessary or essential.
Minorities who want u thrust
their hands deeper into the pubic
till to help themselves are SEEKING
alliances with and support from IN
nocent, Well-Wishing friends who
either are not as informed aS they
should be or are indifferent to the
inevitable consequences OF the course
they are pursuing in lending their
influence to these agitatore.
That day is IRE when some neW
proposal is not brought out with the
purpose Of granting increased bene-
fits of one kind or another TO this
group or that. How much OF 1t IS
done to curry political favor toward
realizing selfish ambitions is a mat
ter Of guessWOrk. But it seems APP
parent that those who are demand
ing and Will demand more liberal
helpings from tax funds are not IN
the least concerned over where or
how much money viii be found, or
who Will be made to suffer in fuWn-
ishing il, Just 50 they get what they
are after.

that a lot of people who are already

Widespread BootIegging
OF Food Charged in Italy
By the Associated Press.

ROME, Oct. 18.-Giovanni Prez-
osi, editor of the weekly magazine
La Vita Italian, recommended tax
ing the pants down and whipping
Italy's rumor mongers.
At the same time Preziosi called
on the Fascist party to end wide
spread bootlegging of rationed food
at sky-high prices.

figures indicating food prices had
gone far beyond the limits set by
the government, that butter can
be had at a dollar a pound, lard at
two dollars a pound, olive oil at a
dollar and a half and so on with a
lengthy list Of rationed products. -
Filming prohteers only made them
laugh, Preziosi said, adding No
body would have thought'there was
so much indiscipline, voracity and
effrontery.' He urged the searching
of cellars for hidden food stores.

D. {. Auto Trade Grour
Assures Car Owners
1942ModeIsAvaiIab|e
Points TO Fact That
Price Increases Are
Below Point Expected

The Washington Automotive
Trade Association today is on record
as declaring full cooperation with
defense efforts of industry and
Government, but at the same time
giving District car owners as
surances that 1912 models are i'm
mediately available.
These facts were brought out at a
meeting Friday in the Columbia
Country Club, where there was a
full discussions of trade problems
in connection with presentation of
1912 models.
The association said no automobile
show would be held here this year
but assurances were given that the
public would be welcomed to all
shoWrooms to see the new cars.
They will cost less, it was said,
than was expected and be better
because of use of substitute ma
terialS.
Increase to 16 Pet.
Only a few months ago, it was
said, the public had been led to
believe new car costs would rise
Is per cent or more whereas actually
the price increase is expected to
vary between 8 per cent and l6
per cent.
In answer to criticism that the
industry would use too much bright
metal" it was pointed out the fac
tories were fooled for the new model
as much as 18 months ago, a time
when the national defense drive had
not yet started TO gain momentum.
In this connection, the meeting
was told there is vital safety factor
in night driving TO be considered. If
cars are held to non-rehecting,
painted materials, there is greater
likelihood of highway accidents be-
cause drivers would be denied their
usual indices of gauging the size
Of an on-coming vehicle.
Substantial improvements"
Lee D. Butler, association presi-
dent. told the group that with
respect to quality, automobile manu-
facturerS have been obliged to use
new and more expensive materials
to replace materials for defense
We wish particularly to stress this
point as it is not generally under
stood or approached by the public.
Substantial Improvements have
been made in the engineering of
new cars with respect to perfor-
nance, handling and riding quail
ties"
In explaining why the automobile
show was Cancelled here, Mr.. Butler
said the association did not wish to
stimulate sales in the face of auto
mobile production which has been
drastically curtailed as an essential
move in the Nations defense
efforts"

tablish fringe parking lots they
would provide some parking facili-
ties in the central business area to
compete with privately owned lots
and garages, some of which, he
charged, are "gouging the public" !"
Mr.. Poole took the witness stand
a few minutes later and vigorously
denied that parking lot operators
are profiteering. He explained that
the recent raise in parking fees on
some lots was necessary to meet
higher rents and increased wages
for attendants.
Parking Meters Backed.
Mr.. Van Duzer gave his indorse-
ment to both features of the bill,
and said he favored parking meters
because both merchants and
motorists "like them" The meters,
however, he declared, should not be
installed on main traffic arteries.
Mr.. Van Duzer also said Sugges-
tionS for system of alternating one
way streets in the business zone
could not be carried out because
some of the principal thoroughfares
have car tracks on them and others,
like Sixteenth, Thirteenth, Tenth
and Sixth streets, have dead ends.

or Street Parking Hearings.
commissioner KutZ and Commits
sloner Mason agreed yesterday that
an early public hearing should be
held on a proposal to come from the
Zonlng Commission concerning off,
street parking.
Members of the Zoning Commits
sion, meeting in executive session
tomorrow at 2 pm, are expected
to take action on this question
while considering also declarations
from some officials that no such
move should be made unless there
Is also adopted rule banning all
day or all-night parking.
Members of the Zoning Commits
sion, it was revealed, are somewhat
worried as to the legality of pend
ing proposals, whether an adopted
rule might be attacked as dis
criminatory or confiscatory, and
these are among reasons why two
of its members have agreed a new
hearing should be held before any
decision is reached.
1t is recalled that the commission
held a hearing on the subject dur
ing the past year, but only hand
full of witnesses attended and little
public interest then was shown.
