GAB ORDINANCE VOTE PUT OFF BY COUNCIL ‘Would Put Taxis in Politics,’ Is Contention of Enemies. After hearing the proposed ordinance for more rigid regulation of taxicabs branded as legislation that "would put the cab business in politics,” the city council Monday night deferred action on the measure. In the committee of the whole Wednesday night, the council will consider the ordinance that would require drivers to reveal their records five years prior to applying for licenses, provide for stringent supervision of taxicab stands, and call boxes, and require drivers to hold city licenses. Nearly 100 small cab owners appeared at the meeting in opposition to the measure. "It would necessitate all taxicab companies getting into politics to elect a mayor and city council favorable to them,” Delbert O. Wilmeth, counsel for the United Transportation Company and leaders of opponents to the ordinance, told the council. Lawlessness Charged Contending that most of the ordinance already is covered by state law, Wilmeth characterized many of its sections as “a mere waste of printers’ ink.” Mike Maroney, Yellow Cab Company president, led those favoring passage of the ordinance by citing that in other cities taxicabs are so regulated by the city councils. Maroney discussed prevalent "lawlessness” in the cab business and said the measure was designed to correct much of this. When Maroney started a personal attack on Wilmeth, Ernest C. Ropkey, council president, demanded he confine his remarks to the merits on demerits of the ordinance. Thomas P. Ruckelshaus, vicepresident of the Red Cab Company, said: “My company believes there should be some regulation.” Opponents of the measure vigorously attacked one provision that would give the board of safety and city council the power to decide, after a public hearing, whether a new cab company should be organized or not. “My clients object to such stranglehold legislation on the cab business as is embodied in the ordinance,” Wilmeth said in this connection. Five Ordinances Passed “The board of safety would be embarking on a dangerous procedure to say who may and who may not operate taxicabs and how many each may operate,” Wilmeth declared. The council deferred action on an amendment that would establish a $29 license fee for all cabs instead of SIOO for the first and S3O for each additional one. Five ordinances were passed. One for purchasing of fire hose by the safety board, one transferring $44,000 to the park department, one appropriation and transfer of $37,150 in the sanitary department, one appropriation of $68,302.08 from the 1930 general fund balance for payment of 1930 bills and another regulating milk deliveries.

BRITAIN POINTS TOWARD BREAK IN FREE TRADE Foremost Economists Favor Tariff for Revenue; U. S. Faces, Blow. By United Press LONDON, March 17.—Opinion in Great Britain today appeared to be mounting more swiftly toward a break from the traditional policy of free trade. Within the last week the movement has been accentuated by sunprising public pronouncements of two of England’s foremost economists, Sir Josiah Stamp and Professor James Maynard Keynes, in favor of a general tariff for revenue. In view of the forthcoming budget deficit, unemployment and generally chaotic political conditions, with a possibility of general elections soon, the declarations of Stamp and Keynes were given great signifiance. The current tendency toward a tariff especially is important in connection with commercial relations wtih the United States because England is by far the best customer in Europe, buying between $800,000,000 and $900,000,000 worth of goods annually. A tariff would have the immediate effect of decreasing United States exports to England. Stamp, who is director of the Bank of England and one of the principal framers of the Dawes and Young preparations plans, said Britain must devote serious attention to a remedy for the general revenue situation by means of tariff. He said Britain has been attempting to maintain a standard of real wage and real income which economically Is out of balance in relation to the rest of Europe. A tariff, Stamp said, should be general in nature so that al imports would be affected, and thus, bring about the effect of a general rise in the price level. Keynes proposed a general revenue tariff of flat rates—ls per cent on all manufactured and semimanufactured goods and 5 per cent on foodstuffs and some raw materials. Keynes maintained that Britain is out of economic equilibrium with the rest of the world and must consider some extraordinary remedies to prevent additional taxation and to restore business confidence.

GERMAN HATE STIRRED OVER KILLING OF RED Struggle of Communists Against Fascists Reaches Bitterness Peak. : By United Press BERLIN. March 17.—The struggle of extremists—Fascists versus Comj munists —i nthe tumultuous Dolitical . life of Germany reached anew pitch | of bitterness today as a result of the assassination of a Communist memI ber of the Hamburg city council. Shooting of the council member. Ernest Hennig, had repercussions | throughout Germany and in the reichstag, where violent protests | were made and a measure for sup- ! pression of political violence was in--1 troduced. j Hennig was shot to death by three

Fascists who entered a bus on which he was riding, asked for Hennig's identification papers and then riddled his body with bullets. Later the assassins surrendered to police and gave their names as Adelbert Jansen, a former policeman; Otto Bammel. a clerk, and Hans Hoeckmej’er. All are Fascists. They said they had decided to shoot Hennig only after they boarded the bus. in a suburb of Hamburg. Another Communist, Herr Camblei, was with Hennig. Two other passengers were wounded in the volley of fifteen shots fired. In Berlin and other cities, plans for protest demonstrations were announced. In the reichstag the debate was more bitter than in the history of the long political fight between the two rival factions. The speaker was forced to suspend a Communist deputy. Then the Communists marched out in a body, singing the Internationale, but they returned later. At Munich, Adolph Hitler, Fascist leader, issued a statement exoressing “deeep regret” for the Hennig incident. He pointed out. however, that Jansen, Bammel and Hoeckmeyer had “been aggravated for months by a campaign of blood and

hatred conducted by the Communist and Anti-Fascist League. “Many party associates of the men were victims of this hatred,” the statement said.
