1t did not need an explanation from the Dis
trict Commissioners to enable tho public to un-
derstand that the land along the proposed
Massachusetts avenue extension would pay a
much larger sum into the treasury taxes
after the improvement than IL does now, in
consequence of its largely enhanced value,
which is certain to follow the completion oil the
work. Any person who has ever owned piece
OF property that from any cause grew more
valuable can easily comprehend that. The
question, and the only question presented at
present by this case. is who shall foot the bills
for bringing the properly into market and thus
making IL more valuable, its owners or the tax
payers at large? The latter have about as
heavy load now as they can well carry in pro-
viding the means to pay the assessments on
their own property, whether II declines or ad-
vances in value, without having to put their
hands In their pockets to pay directly for the
betterment OF othe- peoples speculative invest
nents. II the owners OF the property in aues-
ton shall In future have to pay more taxes than
they do now 1t will be because they have more
To pay taxes upon,-being that much richer; and,
therefore, better able TO pay, and not on account
OF any special or unusual hardship imposed
upon them. That Is just what other people do
when their financial condition is improved.
But let the beneficiaries of any improvement
that Is pushed forward liz advance of the actual
needs of the public, grow richer by their OWE
enterprise and liberality, not by increasing the
taxes of other people.

The Incidence which has in the past allowed

The negligence which has in the past allowed
the rights OF the federal government, in the
AqueducI bridge to go so long unasserted is most
blameworthv. Instead of being able to-day to
dictate the course OF the owners a majority
stakeholder in the corporation, IL Is obliged to
take o second place and submit to dictatiou,
and for no better reason than that the servants
whose duty 1t was to protect the public interest,
slum bered when they ought TO have been awake
and working. The agreement reached between
the owners and lessees whereby the latter are
10 acquire tull title 10 the property and become
the only parties to the negotiation with the
government. Is absurd on It's face. The stock
holders meeting Is set for the 22d of November
when less than a month will remain of the
haltyear, within which the free bridge act re-
quires the whole matter TO be closed and set
tied. II il improbable that the Secretary of the
Treasury will consent tamely to- the arrange
msnt now proposed, and further controversy
may cause such delay that the government
will have no alternative but to go to work on
its survey of the Three Sisters route. This route
would be less convenient than the present one
for the public who have to cross the river at
Georgetown: and possibly the bridge-owners
trust that most of the Virginia farmers the
school-ehildren and The pilgrims TO Arlington
will be willing TO continue to pay the heavy
toll for the sake of avoiding detour. and that
the old structure may be kept profitable. II
would serve them only right If the government
should build the Three Sisters bridgi and then
establish Its controlling interest in the canal
company and make things lively for the engi-
neers of the dog-in-the-manger policy which
that concern is now pursuing Their tate would
be a salurary lesson to other persons who delib-
erately obstruct public Improvements for the
sake of a few dollars extra gain to their own
purseR

The Commissioners show commendable good
temper under the fire OF criticism they are sub
fected 10 from time TO time. They doubtless
appreciate the fact that the two hundred thou
sand people over whom they preside having
lost all voice in the management of their affairs
through the ballot, have right to a tree ex-
preston OF their views and wishes through the
public press. In this free expression of public
opinion there may be much unfounded censure
of the acts Of the Commissioners bat
they have always the opportunity to set
forth fully through the same press me-
dunn the reasons governing their action
This they have done, as the columns of The
STAR have shown, and their answers have been
marked by a courtesy and candor that mas
earned for them the good will of the public,
even where the latter could not quite agree
with the conclusions reached by the Commits
sioners.
The people have high respec. and much per-
sonal regard for the Comm ssioners, but for all
that they want to maintain their inalienahle
night 10 growl about affairs. especially as that
Is all the right they have in the premises.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE.

1t seems as if the Legislature is
liable to deadlock by hasty adj
journment without time. 1t is also
apt to be irregular in taking recess,
when a piece of business is up at
the usual hour, which there is hope
Of despatching within few minutes.
In the latter case, there is liability
either to irregularity in prolonging
the sitting, or to undue haste in get
ting through with the particular
matter. This not very satisfactory
state of affairs might surely be
remedied by new rule or two. Mr..
Dickey's resolution, hastily voted
down the other day, would have
covered the difficulty in part. That
was, when the house adjourned at
noon without mentioning an hour for
re-assembling, it should meet at 80
p. NJ, and, when it adjourned the
same way in the afternoon, it should
meet at 10 next morning. Such a
rule as that, with the addition of q
provision for regular hours for re-
cess, either at noon or in the even
ing, would make matters work with
out any risk of hitch. Let it be
provided that the President leave
the chair promptly at II O'Clock and
resume it at 1:30, taking up the
business at the place where it was
broken off. If member had the
floor at -, he resumes his remarks
at 80, and so on. Let the house
sit till a or 8 in the afternoon, unless
a motion to adjourn intervene sooner.
In other legislatures there is an hour
fixed for recess, and on its arrival
the presiding officer vacates the
chair without ceremony. Also, in
the session after recess, when a
debate is in progress, a member
making successful motion to ad-
journ is entitled to the floor on the
resumption of that debate at sue
ceeding session. If his motion fail,
it signifies that the house desires to
have the discussion proceed, if posi-
BILE, to division. These suggestions
are respectfully submitted to the
assembled wisdom of the Hawaiian
nation.
