Brewster, magazine publisher, two years ago, has rejoined him after a brief separation which they had announced would be permanent. Now, they say, they are determined never to part again.

A small attendance will be taken as an indication of lack of interest and give the impression that you will be satisfied with any reciprocity plan. Two plans have been put forward. One has been introduced at the re quest of the District Commissioners, supported by your local motor associations and the business interest of the city. The other, put together on Capitol Hill, has been proposed by Senator Ball of Delaware, chairman of the Senate District Committee. - Here are the two plans, side by side. Which do you want? Plan Suggested by Senator Ball: Plan of District Commissioners: rsey- Lunx 18 i\r‘d rum Tow. A two cents a gallon gasoline tax and a registration fee of one dollar, with elimination of the personal property tax. This is what is known as “the original gasoline tax bill”” and was proposed to meet, and fully covers, the demands of Maryland for reciprocity. It was proposed solely as a substitute for the present plan of auto taxation in the District. It would bring to the District more revenue than the present plan and is generally considered adequate under present conditions.

Revenue col- lected from the gas tax itself is to be spent, according to the plan, for street maintenance in the District of Columbia, but €ongress refuses its customary 40 per cent contributed to this fund. In other words, the District of Columbia pays 100 per cent on road maintenance. This is considered unnecessary and unfair, and likely to en- danger the present relations between the District and the Federal Government, to the disadvantage of the District. Results: Senator Ball’s plan will tax District motorists $1,600,000. Commissioners’ bill will tax District motorists $1,000,000. Present taxes paid by District motorists amount to $900,000 Senator Ball believes the individual motorists of Washlngton would vote in favor of his plan. .
