New taxes on District residents in excess of budget requirements until the tax burden is more equally di- vided were opposed by the Randle Highlands Citizens' Association. H. F. Marti, vice chairman of the Committee on Laws and Legislation, led a discussion on District tax bills | now before Congress. The associa- tion viewed the proposed income tax | as an undue hardship on the small | land-owning class, in that taxes on real estate would not be reduced by the increased revenue.

A. F. E. Scher addressed the group on the common problems of the vari- | ous associations and extended to them he hopes to be able to ride the horse “if Dr. Boyd says so.” Today Randy Duffey will ride Fred- dy Warburg’s horse, Dual Control, the horse that gave Jack his spill on Saturday. Randy will also ride two of Mrs. Randolph Scott's horses today, | Macroome and Veldschoen. Mike Kerr | will ride Mrs. Pete Bostwick's veteran, | the well-known Fugitive, that won | the Carolina Cup in March with Mike | riding.
