he was not bankrupt. he drew a SIS note from
his pocket. which the collector offered to
change. but he did not want it changed. The
row then started. Pistols and knives were
drawn, but fortunately no one was killed.
Policeman Slack learned of the trouble and he
swore out warrants for Spider" Anderson and
Isaac Johnson, the former for carrying pistol
and the latter for attempting to use knife on

The Taxation OF Newspaper Property.

FROM the Washington Press.
1t was arranged to fit the situation and pos
sibly to aid in confirming Commissioner Webb
that the publication of official statements con-
corning the tax paid by corporations of this
District was made. 1t seems incredible to us
that any member of The EVENING STAR COM
pany should ask any official to estimate the
value of the stock of the company at so pei
cent below par. We are, therefore, not sur
prised to read the fiat denial of the statement
in an editorial of that paper on yesterday.
which We print in full this morning. The good
will of a concern is not stock on hand 1t is
valuable, it is true, but TO rate it for taxation,
it must be easily seen, is dealing with an in
definite quantity, because it Is undertaking to
measure the value of that which is as unstable
as water and as tickle as public opinion. What
may have been received from the public last
year may all be required to maintain the insti-
tuition next year. Such are the experiences of
newspaper enterprises, and such is the power
of public opinion. Consequently, an estimate
for taxation should be an account of property
on hand, taken at a cash valuation If placed
under the hammer. This rule is the customary
one adopted by the best business men of the
country. The proper way for the assessor to
reach the revenue of The STAR would be by
the enactment Of law imposing an income
tax.
