Poll Shows House DC. Units
Republicans Split on Sales Tax
ROBERT N.
BY Harold 3. Rogers

All incomplete poll Of sentiment
of the Republican members Of the
House District Committee today in
dicated keen interest in the pro-
posed per cent sales tax and other
items in the Commissioners new
tax plan, but with a variance of
ideas.
Reactions on sales tax ranged
from general support to fiat opposi-
ton.
Chairman Dirksen, who several
years ago helped to kill a proposal
for sales tax tor the District, said
recently he had revised his thought
in the light of the Districts greatly
increased revenue problems. He
voiced belief the new Congress
probably would accept this levy.
Illinois Experience Cited.
Representative Simpson also from
Illinois, commented that a sales
tax for his State at first was "bit-
terly fought" Today, however, he
said he was convinced the great ma
jority of Illinois residents would
vote to retain this tax because of
it's successful operation.
On the matter of the Federal
payment, Mr.. Simpson recalled that
last year he had voted for $4,000
600 increase in the old 5000, 900
lump sum.
Il felt and I still feel" he said,
"that if Congress is trying to run
the Government of the District in
any detail at all, it must provide
funds necessary for its operation"
Mr.. Simpson added that, while no
blank check" should be given the
District Commissioners, he believed
their recommendations should be
followed whenever the city heads
supply proper justification for their
proposals. 81
BealI Not Convinced. Y
Representative Beall of Maryland,
a strong advocate Of increasing the
Districts gasoline tax from the
present cents a gallon to cents
one of the Commissioners requests
said he wanted to be convinced
about the proposed sales tax. He
said I'VE may have to come to that.
but that he wanted first to study the
budget requirements.
Representative Bates of Massa-
chusetts withheld final judgment on
any of the new tax proposals. His
first objective. he said, will be to
keep taxes down as much as pos
sible" and to see II the tax dollars
are well spent Because of ex-
panded needs, however, he said, he
was keeping an open mind" on the
tax proposals.
Representative Auchincloss of New
Jersey, former member of the Dis
trict Committee, said, Il don't like
the proposed sales tax very much.
New Jersey people don't go for
sales tax. They are against 1T.
Favors Vote for d. C.
The District government. Mr..
said. was "topheavy."
You have too many separate
police forces, too much diversified
responsibility. which does not make
for efficiency he said, IF the peo-
pie could elect their own officials,
they could see that responsibility is
placed directly where it belongs.
II favor giving the people here
the vote"
Mr.. Auchincloss also is member
of the new House Public Works
Committee, where many projects af-
fecting the District will be consid-
cred.

Sales Tax Forum Hears
Those Who Pay D. c.
Nothing Criticized

Both the proposed District sales
tax and District workers who pay
no local taxes came In for criticism
last night at the public forum on
the sales tax sponsored by the
Kalorama Citizens Association.
Representative Bates, Republican,
of Massachusetts,, the moderator, be-
gan things at the John Quincy
Adams School, Nineteenth and Cali
fornia streets NV. by pointing out
the District budget had l2,900, 900
deficit which had to be made up.
Cites Revenue Need.
Either we've got to raise present
taxes or devise other means Of
revenue such as the sales tax" he
said.
Frank Waldrop, Washington
Times Herald writer, spoke for the
sales tax. He said it was the only
fair way of raising money, and 1t
made the people pay who had never
paid taxes in the District before.
Edward D. Hollander, president Of
the Washington chapter Of the
Union for Democratic Action, took
the negative side, claiming the tax
'hit hardest those who could least
afford to pay"
W @Arthur wubnig'' 1915 Kalorama
road NV, asked the speakers, why
doesn't the District float bonds as
every other municipality does?
1.-The District has bum credit"
MIR. Waldrop answered. Once it
was said, and not all in fun, that
holders of Washington bonds In
Amsterdam would have to foreclose
on our city. Then Congress stepped
in and set up that celebrated form
ula of paying a lump sum in order
to save a worlds capital"
No Vote Allowed.
Mr.. Hollander said the injustice
Is that District residents have tol
spend themselves poor for capital
improvements and cut services to
do it.
g. w. Absher, 1901 Alabama ave-
nue. Sc, suggested that one half
per cent gross income tax on all
money earned in the District
seemed to him mighty good idea,
even though his Citizens Associa-
tion, Hillcrest, had voted for the
sales tax.
Mr.. Waldrop said, The sales tax
will take care of those border
characters who hang out in the
District-who make their money
here and then hide out in Virginia
and Maryland where our tax col
lectors can't touch them
After the debate, a number of
voices from the audience demanded
q vote be taken.
Mr.. Bates explained the rules of
the meeting would not allow vote,
and the meeting was adjourned.
