Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md., December 2.— Tnless the payment of taxes on auto- 'r;mbflu is l‘él"’ex‘\tly facilitated during the next two weeks by city and county authorities, E. Austin Baughman, commissioner of motor vehicles, yes- terday said he expected that an un- precedented crowd of persons seeking 1928 automobile licenses would jam the doors of his office during the last week of this year. Doubt whether the office would be able to take care of the last-minute application8 was expressed by Mr. Baughman. Difficulties Encoumtered. Because of the enactment by the Iast Legislature of the law requiring the payment of taxes on an automo- bile before the license for the follow- ing year can be issued, difficulties in this year's preparations to send out the new license tags have been experi- enced by the office of Mr. Baughman, it was said. The new statute has changed the old system of mailing out license tags on verification of the title and receipt of | the proper amount to such an extent that comparatively few licenses have been mailed out so far this year. According to reports from various countles, scarcely 50 per cent of the STAR, WASHINGTON, owners of automobiles have paid taxes for this year on their vehicles. Accord- ing to a dispatch from Salisbury, the commissioners of nine Eastern Shore counties will discuss the situation when they hold a joint meeting in Easton Monday. Motorists Face Delay, Failure of county authorities to understand the new system has re- #ulted in its being almost halted in the counties and thousands of automobile owners lacking licenses will be unable to use their machines for several weeks after the first of the year, the dispatch said. During October Mr. Baughman's of- fice sent to all county treasurers cards for each car owner asking that they be returned and marked whether taxes had been paid. When the cards were returned those that were not marked paid were returned to the owners with a letter advising that the taxes be paid as soon as possible. The cnunty treasurers were directed to forward the receipts as soon as the taxes were paid to Mr. Baughman's office here so that the owner can re- ceive his license. HIGHER POLI(SE PAY ASKED Representative Blanton to Intro- duce Bill Also for Firemen. Increase of $300 a year in the pay of Washington police and firemen is proposed in a bill which Representa. tive Blanton, Democrat, of Texas has ready for introduction as soon as the House organizes. He also has prepared a bill to pre- vent tr: erence to street car: directing traffic, He says that, being in the pay of the street car companies, they favor the street cars over all other traffic, and that he has received repeated complaints about this. His bill would make the showing of such preference cause for dismissal from the police force. D. C, REED ITS MELLON IN CHICAGD TALK Attack on Slush Fund System in Politics Takes in Samuel Insull. By the Amoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 2.—Wealthy men who use their power for purpose of corrupting the Government were attacked by Senator James A. Reed, Missourf, in a speech last night in which he cited the Vare election and the Teapot Dome case as exampk and arraigned Samuel I 1, traction magnate, for his alleged aid in elect. ing Frank L. Smith Senator from Ithough he did not name Mr. In a speech before the Cook County Real Estate Board Senator Reed said: “The citizen is crowded further and further from direct participation in and knowledge of Government affairs. The feeling of responsibllity is corre- spondingly diminished. “Greater sums of money can now be raised to carry an election in a single city than was formerly employ- ed in a national campaign, and the vote, crooked or otherwise, of a great city frequently determines the elec- tions in a great State. Thus, the dis- honest elections in a single city may determine a national election and shape the fate of the republic. Mellon Is Attacked. “Government thus controlled will in- evitably produce the bribe giver and FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, Packages Parcel Post to any part of the U. S. 19217, ::: bribe taker, the betrayer and the Aftacking Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon for his part in the Pennsylvania elections, Reed averred that Mellon put up $25,000 to the fund for Senator George Wharton Pepper and sald that “it remained, however, for the Secretary of the Treasury, sanctity when with impious insolence he declared the gathering of the slush fund to have been as justifiable as col- lecting money for the church of God.” Referring to the Smith case, Sehator Reed called attention to the money he said Smith had accepted from e head of public service corporations.” Hits Oil Investigation. “After he is seated in the Senate, whom will he represent?” Reed asked of Smith’s case. d the shrewd in- vestor in public franchises make a mistake when he invested in a United States Senator? Is the man who ac- cepted this stupendous sum of money free to consider only the interests of the republic?” Discussing the Teapot Dome case and the nomination and election of President Harding, Reed said that he personally was ‘convinced that mnot one-half of the story of the loot of the ofl lands had been tol He declared that “we should pass no law which is now almost universal- ly believed in.” Such laws, he said, backed by the common sentiment of the people, could be and would be enforced. Seeks to Cl;lnge Name. Wishing to show his gratitude to Patrick Downey and his wife, Martha A. Downey, who have cared for him since he was two months old, Marvin Himes, 21 years old, a student at the University of Virginia, has filed a pe- tition in the District Supreme Court to change his name to Downey.
