IDEAL AUTO TAX SOUGHT BY GROUP Lincoln Park Citizens Hear Van Duzer Suggest Weight Levy. A study of the most appropriate sys- tem of automobile taxaticn for the District is being conducted by the Public Utilities Committee of the Lin- coln Park Citizens' Association, it was announced last night at a meeting in the Bryan School. Charles C. Gillikin, chairman, had written Traffic Director Willlam A. Van Duzer for his views. In reply to his letter Van Duzer wrote: “It is an accepted principle that most vehicle fees should be used for construction and maintenance of streets and roads and the operation of the motor vehicle department and the policing of highways in so far as traffic is concerned—in other words, traffic officers. “A good many of the States have a weight tax, some have a tax by horse- power, & few have a flat rate and some of them, in addition, have a personal property tax. To me the most equitable tax is a weight tax, and of course, the amount of tax should be determined by the necessity for Tevenue. “At present the average price of tags in the District, including personal property tax, is $4.13, while the aver- age throughout the country is a little over $13. “The weight tax would be simple to administer and would not make any distinction as to the age of cars— that is, a car which is five years of age will do as much damage to the highways as a new car.” Gillikin said his committee would take the matter under consideration. The association indorsed the move- ment sponsored by several other citi- zens' and street car pass rate of $1 for any- where in the city. They also indorsed | Col. W. L. Peake for general superin- tendent of the District penal institu- tions. Seek Small Loan Bill. Joseph L.

Another investigation was urged on | the Police and Fire Protection Com- mittee *“shooting-ball machines” in stores. A report of excessive dust on East Capitol street, said to be caused by street cars sanding the tracks, was turned over to the Public Utilities Committee. Bishop's Visit Delayed. FAIRFAX, Va.

B. C. Penalizes Liquor Seller on Charge of Selling to In- toxicated Person. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Board today ordered the suspen- sion for three days of the on-sale beer and light wines license held by Ludwig Mueller, 453 G street, on a charge that the proprietor had allowed a sale to be made to an intoxicated person. Testimony in the case produced a report that officers of Lieut. George Little's liquor squad were under in- structions to follow apparently intoxi- cated persons to see if they were able to buy drinks from licensed dealers. Th buyer in this case was a man who gaid he was a World War veteran and suffered from & nervous ailment which gave him the appearance of a drunk. He said he was not drunk, but officers said he was. George W. Offutt, chairman of the A. B. C. Board, told reporters at the time of the hearing that one of the ways the board could.get evidence against dealers selling to intoxicated persons was for the liquor agents of the board to observe the operations of drunks applying to licensed places to purchase liquor. Offutt later explained that this board had not intended that liquor agents follow drunks endlessly about the streets on the presumption they eventually would be able to buy a drink. At the same time, Offutt sald, it was up to the dealers to decide whether an applicant for a drink was drunk. ‘The Mueller license was ordered sus- pended from November 25 to Novem- ber 28.

By the Assoclated Press. CHARLOTTE, N. C., November 19. —Ear] Carroll’s touring Vanities was a hotbed of charges and counter- charges, of fist fights and deferred sal- ary payments today as Carroll him- self gave notice to Fifi D'Orsay, petit actress lead, for “not doing the show much good.” He also dismissed Sam Leibert for alleged “communistic ac- tivities.” Leibert halted the show, just 11 days on tour, here last night by breaking onto the stage and demanding of the audience that it request the show be Carroll, who had come here by plane to straighten out matters, walke§ on the stage flanked by policemen, lis- tened to Leibert's charges of non- payment of salaries and of fights in Raleigh when he and Miss D'Orsay allegedly were struck by J. M. Mc- Kechnie, company manager, then ordered the show to go on. The show went on—with the audi- ence wondering what it all was about. Leibert announced a “campaign to expose Earl Carroll,” who denied, along with others of the cast, that salaries were due. Leibert said the fight in Raleigh occurred in a Pullman car following & general argument, that McKechnie yanked Paul McCullough, one of the comedy leads, from his berth, struck Fifi when she remon- strated, then “popped” Leibert.

This car, we felt, was superior in competition, and in a friendly way we suggested to people that they “Look at All Three” low-priced cars before they decided. The tremendous success of Plymouth is now a matter of record and we, as a corporation, are very proud of it. o, @ e ‘TODAY—AS RECOVERY GAINS MOMENTUM~we have set for ourselves a similar task in a slightly higher price bracket.

It is impossible for me here to describe this car in de- tail. However, I have driven it for hundreds of miles and 1 have never seen a car in this price class that was so steady on the road, that handled so easily, that responded so quickly and quietly to every whim of the driver or stopped s0 surely at a touch of the brake pedal. In conclusion, I would like to make this point clear. ‘We visualize a tremendous market for this new De Soto.
