part of the city has had the great bulk Of the
money for street improvements fully paid for
the taxpayers of Northeast Washington. and
now the District revenues are so foundered
that his section cannot get street improve
ments at all. He opposed the permit and
special tax systems warmly, and then consid-
cred the question
HOW MORE REVENUE rs TO RE HAD.
There are but three ways, he continued, FIRST
10 increase the rate of taxation, az suggested
bv Congress. but no one wants that especially
SO long as the law requires property to be as
sessed at its full cash value. The second plan,
and the only true and just plan, he said, was TO
eaualize the assessments.
Sucn thing, he continued, requires change
in the board of assessors and the manner Of
making the assessments. permanent board
of assessors. he said, should be provided, OF not
less than three who should see that all property.
wherever located, should be assessed equally In
proportion TO its value. Such plan honestly
appiied, Mr.. Dodge added, would increase the
amount derived from taxes mt least half a
million, and that in turn would secure an addi-
tional half million from the United States, thus
increasing the revenues million per annum.
The third plan, he explained, and the one which
ought to be adopted In any event. is for the
general government 20 relieve the District Of
the present debt. We can show from the
records, continued the speaker. that IL the gem
eral government were 70 do that IL would NOT
even then have paid bali from the foundatioa
of the capital 10 the present time.

WORTH LOOKING INTO.

1t is to he hoped that the county
commissioners of silver Bow will probe
to the bottom certain matters now
being investigated connected with the
courts of Butte. Their is something
radically wrong with the present sys-
tenn. and il should be thoroughly nves-
tigated. of course matters i'm the dis
trict court have been necessarily delayed
by the tunnel precinct controversy, but
il would seem that the other courts have
been lax in methods to IN extent hat
certainly deserves investigation.
To begin with, the fee system is
vicious i'm every respect. Three hun
bred dollars is altogether too much for
witness fees i'm the Barriere case. No
sane man doubts hat the circumstan-
tial evidence against h accused fully
justified his being held for trial. Yet
the preliminary examination dragged
along for eight days, and resulted in "a
conclusion hat for red tape and
absurd technicalities could have been
caches in as many minutes.
1t is n crying shame that the taxpay-
ers of silver Bow county should be
thus imposed upon. This pape has on
more than one occasion pointed out
some of the queer ways Butte officials
have of doing business. Two incidents
of yesterday may be cited in connec-
tion with the city prison. All Gin.
n Chinaman who refused to pay his poll
tax, is supposed I" he IN inmate of the
Jail until his tax and the costs
of the prosecution are paid. All Gin
seems to he perfectly satisfied with the
disposition of his case, but objects to
d~elicacies of prison provender. Yes
terday he went out to dinner, but re-
turned to his work at the Jail after his
MONDAY meal. Another city prisoner
was sent to the ~postoilice. but failed to
return. The case against Referee Col
den, n assisted in the murder of
Ward Il few weeks ago. was called in
Judge Newkirk's court yesterday, but
the defendant failed To appear. Ills
bonds were declared forfeited. but the
authorities of Butte must feel that
they let him off at "a pretty low
figure.
There is a screw loose somewhere.
and il behooves those i'm authority to
look after these abuses before the
courts of Silver Bow and Butte City
become notorious as travesties on JUS
tice n looked upon as mere farces.

IN SIGHT AGAIN.

The infamous Dudley letter doomed
zap in the seIiate yesterday and even old
Edmunds could not withstand the as
sault made by Senator Voorhees, on the
administration. The truth of the case
is too plainly known To give weight To
any attempt to laugh the matter down.
That the IIoosier President or his sub
Ordinates issued the order to United
States officers i'm Indiana to prevent the
arrest of Dudley on his recent visit to
that state. is Il fact which the admins
tration does not and can not deny. The
spectacle thus presented in prostituting
the United states courts to So base a
purpose is not calculated to in
spire confidence in the re-
publican party. The incidents cited
by Edmunds yesterday in his
feeble effort tn defend the conspirator
have been exploded long ago. and their
falsity is a matter of record. The au-
tho of the 'blocks of five letter of in
structions tn bribe-givers i'm Indiana
has made little or no effort to prove
that letter u forgery. He appreciates
the damning evidence against him, and
his libel suits against New York news
papers for publishing the epistle bid
fair to he thrown ont of court for lack
of prosecution.
Even the insignificant man who
now rattles around in the presidents
chair has not dared outrage public
opinion by openly rewarding his chief
lieutenant. and the nan who engineered
the frauds in Indiana at the last presi-
dental election is still among the hun
CRY army on the outside. Fol "a time
