Will Rogers BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Yester- day was income tax day. And I am in no shape to be funny. Why don't they do it all like they do the gaso- line tax, you pay it when you buy it and you are through with it, or make the man that pays it to us take it out, or some- thire. The way it is they let us handle it one year, then two and a half months after its all made and spent then they ask you to pay it. But no one that made enough to pay tax this year should kick. In fact its increased taxes on incomes over one hundred thou- sand net where the money should come from to supply work during slack time.

A more elastic rate structure to per- mit railroads to compete with trucks operating as commercial carriers was urged today before the Interstate Com- merce Commission motor-rail co-ordi- nation hearing by Robert N. Collyer, chairman of the Traffic Executive As- sociation of the eastern territory. The rules of the commission also should be liberalized to permit the rail carriers to experiment with innovations contrary to long-established practices in an effort to cope with the changed conditions brought about by the in- crle;smq use of highway carriers, he said. Asks Same Basis. Railroads should be permitted to en- gage in highway transportation on the same basis as any other carriers, Col- lyer argued, and where a joint ra motor service was performed, to con- form to established tariffs for the rail haul, but to meet the rates of other highway operators in handling the traffic between rail points. The rail lines also should have the privilege of abandoning operation and facilities when the no longer are economical, he add e? Former Senator Nathaniel B. Dial of South Carolina, now president of the Eastern Public Service Corporation, a holding company for a group of bus lines, argued for interstate requhuon of buses, appearing, he said, interest of the ‘“unrepresented .!mnll stockholder in intrastate bus operation.” Dial Cites Competition. Interstate busses can bring serious competition into a territory without re- gard to the wishes of State regulatory agencies, he said, and to the detriment of those concerns which had gone in and opened up the fleld. His company operates between Wash- ington and Knoxville, through Win- chester and Bristol.

WILLIAM KING & SON ESTABLISHED 1835 COAL MERCHANT|S 2901 K Street Georgetown HIGHER GOURT GETS VIRGINIA LINE FIGHT Tribunal to Review Whether Boundary Is at High or Low Water Mark. ‘The long-debated question of whether the boundary line between the District of Columbia and Virginia is at high or low water mark on the Virginia shote of the Potomac will be argued in the United States Supreme Court next month. The court, which some time ago agreedsto review the question, has just fixed April 13 as the date for arguments. The issue comes to the highest court as the result of litigation between the Smoot S8and and Gravel Corporation and the Washington rt, Inc., in Virginia ccurts, but the boundry line feature of the case is of special in- terest to the Federal Government. Be- cause of the interest of the United States, Government counsel are joining in presentation of the matter to the highest court. Many Cases Cited. One of the briefs filed in the Supreme Court points out that many cases have arisen in which this boundary line has been at issue, but the true boundary has never been fixed beyond dl.apt;u by decision of the highest court. ‘The question has a bearing on police jurisdiction over the shoreline between ow and high water mark, and is also of interest in connection with a certain portion of the George Washington Memorial Highway now being bullt along the shore from Arlington Memorial Bridge to Mount Vernon. The nunfim; douknm interfere with the progress of work on the highway, but the final decision will determine whether the Government already owns or will have to buy an area now being developed for the boulevard at the south end of the Highway Bridge. Decision Was Reversed. In October of last year, the Circuit Court of Appeals for the fourth circuit lend!l'ed a decision to the effect that roperty lying between the high nnd w_water marks was within Vir- ginia, which meant that the boundary was at the low-water mark. In this decision, the court reversed the Federal Cfis:fi for the Eastern District of Vir- 8! ) Both parties to the original litiga- tion joined in asking the United' States Supreme Court to review the question, because of the importance of determin- ing definitely where th! ‘boundary line is on the Virginia sl 1t is contended '.hnt fl' the boundary is at high-water mark, the Government would be the owner of the tide land. i Japan's_ Congress consists of the House of Peers—princes, counts, barons, etc, and 66 representatives of the largest taxpayers—and of the House of Representatives. Snow in Maryland Cuts Attendance In State Assembly ) Members Marooned, Cars and Bay Ships Halted by Falling Flakes. . By the Assoclated Press.

Only those members who started early in the afternoon arrived for the semon, the remainder being marooned through- out the night at Crisfield. The heavy snow, which blanketed the count ide, turned highways into ribbons of inch- deep slush and halted automobile traffic. The snow fell so thickly that boats of the Claiborne-Annapolis ferry halted their trips across the bay. The last scheduled ship last night from Clai- borne, which left the Eastern Shore terminal about 7 o'clock, was forced to turn back before it had gotten out of l{ght of land, with vmon through the ickly falling flakes impossible. ‘The House, where 60 members con- stitute a quorum, had a bare 65 in at- tendance, and the 15-member qucrum in the upper branch had but two to spare, 17 being present on the roll call. As a consequence, practically no busi- nesusd of controversal nature was trans- ac automatic JOSLIN TAKES OATH -AS HOOVER AIDE President’s Other Secreta-’ ries and Group of Newspaper Mén: Witness Ceremony.

Joslin, Washington cor- respondent of the Boston Transcript for a number of years, who was ap- pointed yesterday by President Hoover to succeed George Akerson as one of his secretaries, took the formal oath of office shortly before noon today and at once entered upon his new dutles.
