But here In tho nation's capital, the cab Jockeys re plain polite and phllosophlo by nature, fig uring tips will come only by act of congress and then only after the cus tomer has ap pealed twice to the supreme court. The Washing ton taxi driver is a freer man with an opinion than the average legislator. He has views on every subject the Inside of the Inside but unlike the New York cabby, he won't switch his views i dinner, Just to please the human cargo who Is paying the fare. Owns His Cab His forum is the highway, his rostrum the front seat of his cab, which he probably owns himself and that makes him a small busi nessman and therefore gives him the right to say how the country should be run. Ask him to take it easy at the wheel, and he's off: Tm in no hurry either. Don't worry about me hitting any pedes trians. Can't afford to any more. The repair costs to the cars run too high nowadays. It's $100 now where it used to be $18. "Klnda new here, aren't you? I been here most my life. It's a swell city, but I never saw one like it for middle-aged women getting tanked. Darn near every night gotta drive some ginned-up woman home. "Had one In the car the other night and she started in complain ing about her husband. They all want to tell you their life story. This one had two kids she oughta been home minding and here she's been out touring the beer joints with a bald-headed, pot-bellied buzzard with a face like a hoptoad. He was more romantic, she said, than her husband all he did was bring home his paycheck. And she kept saving, "Well, what'd you do if you were me?" "I told her, "Lady, I don't know what I'd do if I was you, but I know what I'd do if I was your husband. I'd just plain kick you out the house ana down the front porch, a step a ume. "She shut up then, and when I drove up to her house I was sp mad I socked an extra $1.50 on the bill. She didn't holler just gave me a four-bit tip. Slow Tippers "Tips? You'd think with all these high-priced people around here they'd hand out a little money. But you're lucky If you get a dime from "Senators ihe.y hand me a laugh, but Unit's about all. Once one oi them tipped me a nickel. However, I took another one home once pretty good old guy, he was and he said, 'You have to get my car home, too, I've drunk too much to drive. So I got a friend and we drove his car home, and the senator slipped me ten bucks and winked and said, Now my wife will think I'm all right when she sees the car's home.' "Funny tiling about the presidents. Most of them do get uppity. But you take Wood row Wilson. People say he was a cold man. But I saw him at a theatre and walked right up ana spoke to him. He was real pleas ant. A fine man. ' "So was Teddy Roosevelt. I saw him whale his two youngest boys right on the White House lawn. Seiit another man to fetch them in to and they sassed him. So Teddy came out himself with a stick and gave it to them good right there on the lawn. They went In a-hopplng. "Never saw Franklin D. Roosevelt except when he was here wav back in the First World war. Riglit nice young fellow then. "Still and all. you take presidents generally. I don't understand it. But with most of them soon's they get to ne president right away they begin to think they're a big shot."
