sizable elections will be held Tuesday

ballot boxes and other necessary
equipment, will be open to members
of the metropolitan, park and White
House police* forces comprising the
association.
The usual fight for the presidency
is lacking, however, for some unknown
reason. Since the organization was
started in 1903 the position of presi
dent has carried a great deal of pres
tige with the file members and on
numerous occasions it has led to pro
motions. »
Presidency of the association carries
the power to appoint the powerful
Legislative Committee of which the
president is usually a member. This
committee spends much time at the
Capitol lobbying for the needs of the
policemen.
One Candidate on Trip.

dency, Lt. Frank A. Vamey of the
traffic division, has finished his rou

Acting Precinct Detective Ralph E.
Burton of the eleventh precinct.
The other candidates are as fol
lows:
First vice president. Pvt. W P. Als,
twelfth precinct, and Pvt. R. F. Selby,
park police.
Second vice president. F. R. Bar
nard, first precinct, and F. W. Proctor,
White House police.
Recording secretary, W. J. Kerns,

precincts, harbor station, White House
guardroom, park police headquarters.

Father Says He’ll Rot in Jail
Before His Son Is Vaccinated
By the Associated Press.
CARLISLE. Pm., Dec. 4.—Non
chalantly pulling a, corncob pipe,
Farmhand Jack Marsh—spending his
20th day in Jail for refusing to have
his son vaccinated—“allowed” today
that "by gracious, I’ll stay here ’till
I rot, first.”
It was the third time March was
arrested for a similar offense in four
years, and the second time he was
sent to jail for it. Last time he was
in for eight months, until the court
forced the vaccination of 'one of his
, children.
The South Mountain hired man
i stroked his 20 days’ beard today, when
i jail attendants suggested he was “bull
i headed.” It’s all because his niece
went blind after a vaccination some
years ago, he protested.
Physicians asserted the blindness
was not due to the vaccination, but
Mr. March spat into a corner of his
cell and said he "know* better.”
His son Eugene is 7. March refused
to send the boy to school when the
teacher said he would have to be in
noculated, the authorities charge.
They went up into the mountains
and brought him back to jail. A
magistrate sentenced him to five day*.
March would not "give in” and drew
five more. That’s the way it has
been ever since. And that’s the way
his sentence ran up to eight month*
four years ago when he refused to
allow another of his children to be
vaccinated.
It has cost the county about *10
to feed the prisoner since he was
brought in 20 day* ago.

cate for a passport and learned
it was a day earlier.

NEW DEAL CHIEFS
PAY LOW DX TAX
Permanent U. S. Executives,
Receiving Less, Are Hit
Harder by Levies.
An analysis of District taxes paid by
executives of permanent Government
departments and those in New Deal
agencies indicates, despite much high
er salaries among the latter, they paid
much less in direct District taxes, ac
cording to a statement issued last
night by the Washington Taxpayers’
Association.'
The association said its sole purpose
in making this analysis was to point
out that any District tax revision pro
gram which does not have a wide base
will place the burden, as is now the
case, upon comparatively few per
sons.
The study was made by taking at
random 100 executives working in "old
line” Federal departments and a like
number in newly created agencies.
None had been employed in the Capi
tal less than two years and most of
them four or more years.
"The salary of each,” the statement
said, "was secured together with the
real estate, tangible and intangible
tax paid for the current year; automo
bile, gas and water taxes were not
included. The average salary of the
100 executives in'such departments as
War, State, Navy, etc., was $5,935 and
the average tax paid was $52.54. The
average per capita paid by Washing
tonians in real and personal taxes is
about $40. Forty-one paid no tax.
"The 100 executives employed in new
agencies, such as the Securities and
Exchange Commission and Farm Cred
it Administration, had an average sal
ary of $6,868, and paid an average tax
of $20.57. Sixty-eight paid no tax.
"One reason for so many paying no
D. C. taxes is that of these 200 highly
paid employes, 43 live in Maryland or
Virginia.”
Egypt Pegs Wheat Price.
To stop the decline in wheat prices
the government of Egypt is buying a
large quantity of the grain for ex
