In the five-year depression period, Carthy, metallurgist for a steel com- was indorsed enthusiastically last night by the Association of Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Co- lumbia. The matter was brought up by C. J. MacMurray, who highly commended the campaign of The Evening Star| Safety Council. He introduced a reso- | Jution placing the association on rec- ord formally supporting the campaign. John Clagett Proctor, vice president of the association, declared the re-| sults should be to make the streets safer for “motorists, pedestrians And‘ every one.” The association, after some debate, | went on record as opposed to the| proposal to divert the District of Co- | lumbia gasoline tax to general funds | of the District to be used for other purposes than highways. Charges Double Taxation. The matter was presented to the| association by Richard M. Ham, direc- tor of safety of the District of Co- lumbia Motor Club. He charged that | to divert the gas tax to other pur-| poses would amount to “double taxa- tion.” Motor taxes, he said, “are spe- | cial additional levies for a special pur- | pose, and their application to any-| thing but that particular purpose con- | stitutes discrimination.” Opposition to l diversion of such taxes was said by the speaker to have been embodied by Congress in the Hayden-Cartwright Federal aid authorization bill of 1934. Ham said Commissioner George E. Allen favored diversion of gas taxes. Allen’s views, said the speaker, “are &t such wide variance with generally approved and well established motor | tax principles that they must be chal- lenged as revolutionary and directly involving the interest of the owners of our 163,000 motor vehicles in the Dis- trict of Columbia.” | Attacking the proposed diversion, Lemuel A. Carruthers charged it would be contrary to the basic principles of taxation. While the gas tax now was said by the speaker to be sufficient for its purpose of highway maintenance, Carruthers suggested that if it were to be diverted this would furnish an ' excuse for a substantial increase in the gas tax, which would not be justi- fied. Certain Marylanders and Vir- ginians, he said, would like to see the District gas tax increased from its present 2-cent level because of the 5-cent tax in Virginia and the 4- cent tax in Maryland John B. Dickman spoke in favor of diversion of the tax. He said the present system of keeping the tax for highway purposes alone “savors of class legislation.” He declared it would be as logical to say that all taxes on shoe stores should be used for im- proving the shoe store business. All taxes, he argued, should go into the | common fund. Objection Raised. Max Kohner objected to the shoe store argument as not comparable. He said he had no automobile, but favored using the gas tax for high- ways only. The resolution on the matter, intro- duced by J. Eliot Wright, and passed by the association, with only a few dissenting votes, said “we are opposed to the diversion of the revenues re- ceived from the special gasoline tax in the District of Columbia to other than highway purposes.” ! The resolution indorsed “in letter and in spirit the stand on this ques- tion taken by the District of Colum- bia Motor Club, as communicated to the Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia under date of Eeptember 13, 1935." Center Fund Plan Studied. A proposal from the Board of Trade asking support for the proposal to build part of the Municipal Center from funds to be allocated by Secre- tary of the Interior Ickes was referred to the delegates of the association to the Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions. Carruthers said Senator King of Utah, chairman of the Senate Dis- | trict Committee, has in mind intro- | ducing legislaticn to get money for this from other sources. | On Wright's motion Walter E. Al- len was elected a vice president of the association, filling a vacancy at the foot of the line left by the death of John Joy Edson, one of the senior vice Ppresidents. Kchner suggested that the associa- tion observe its seventieth birthday anniversary next December at its an- | nual banguet in elaborate fashion, with a published souvenir relating the history of the association. The matter wes referred to Wright, chairman of the Entertainment Committee. The development of the association | since he became a member in 1903 was traced by Wright in an interesting paper read to the organization. He gave an accounting of his stewardshio as secretary-treasurer. During 14 years he said 590 members had been admitted, 416 had died, 130 had re- signed or been dropped, leaving a membership now of 435. | “I am next to the oldest member in point of membership,” said Wright. “There is only one person who has been & member longer than I, and EEP fat fried to a golden-brown and served sizzling hot.
