taken up in the House yesterday was the bill
TO repeal the section of the Revised Statutes

tion for bounty land.
Mr.. George declared that there were very
few of these claimants surviving, and that
the debt was just one. and that payment
was withheld simply because these men were
afterward Confederates.
1T is simply to remove the last vestige of
political disability against these old Mexican
veterans. is it not?" inquired Mr.. Hill.

Mr.. Hill for stating it SO pungently. Mr..

GOOD BILL TO VETO.

1t Is to be hoped that President Cleveland
will withhold his signature from House bill
No. 6s95, as recommended by majority of
the District Commissioners. The bill sub
mitted to him for his approval would not givo
the Commissioners, as they say, any power to
assess, its scope merely being the regulation
OF assessments for water mains. Under the
prevailing system of assessments, which was
established by the act of juno %, 1873. the
cost of hydrants is included, and under the
proposed law, which calls for taxation for
water mains only, the Commissioners doubt
their authority to make an asse ssment for hy-
drants.
Apart from this feature. however, and of
even greater importance, is the fact that the
principle of the area basis of taxation is more
just and equitable than the frontage basis in
volved in the bill under consideration. By
area taxation ultimately every foot of ground
pays its share of the general burden, whereas
il taxation should be made according to
frontage the levy would be inequitable in
asnuch as the large suburban lots would paw
proportionately for less than the smaller city
lots.
The reasons advanced by Commissioners
Ross and Powell, even though not concurred
in by their colleague. Mr.. Truesdell, would
seem to furnish the President with sufficient
ground for withholding his approval.
