Pass The Bill.

In speaking of the duty Of Senators in
regard to the Wilson tariff bill, the Rich
mond Dispatch says: sIf Senators, one
and all, could but realize what great
stumbling block to the renewal OF bus
mess activity this tariff question is, they
would work night and day to hurry the
bill through. None of us will ever live
to see perfect tariff bill. The most we
can do is to aim in the right direction
and do what we are going to do
promptly This is the sense OF the
whole country. The suspense of waits
ing for conditions under which buying
and selling can go forward freely cannot
be borne forever Let us have an end of
it. The Senate should quicken its slow
gait.

the coinage of the silver bullion in the

tax proposition was being debated 1t was
shown conclusively by The Star that a
sum as great as that looked for by the
advocates Of class revenue could be secured
by a slight increase in the duty on malt
liquors without any additional cost for COL
lection and without any resultant increase
In the price Of beer to the consumer. This
proposition received no support from those
who had charge of the measure-the LIQUOR
vote Is no inconsiderable thing. and the
funds contributed by brewers for Campaign
purposes are large enough in the aggre-
gate to obscure legislative vision. 1t there
tore turns out that for the comparatively
small sum Of S15,OOO0O0 an abhorrent form
OF taxation has been established in this
country for period Of at least five years.
The experience of those who kI ow what an
inccne-tax is and how 1t Is collected does
rot furnish material upon which to base
anything but disgust at the outlook In
quisitorfal methods and the necessarily
resultant official arrogance will breed more
or less OF disturbance, and will cause the
political party on whom must rest all re-
sponsibility for the foolish and unprofitab Bile
legislation a great deal of real trouble
There was some semblance of an argument
IN 1aVor or an income-tax when 1t was
maintained that for the support of the gov
eminent such an impost was necessary, bu;
Eow that 1t has been developed that the

THIS concession to populist sentiment is
evidently as much of a financial failure as
it is politically disgraceful.

For the summary dismissal of ten police
ofncers whose conduct was found on inves-
LEGATION to be such as to indicate unftness
for service the District Commissioners are
IN receipt or the thanks of every good
citizen. In letter to the superintendent
OF police. published in yesterdays Star the
Commissioners developed a state of affairs
IN the police department discreditable to
mat organization and distressing to the
community. That there is need for contin-
ued investiSatory energy on the part of
Commissioner Truesdell Is shown by the fact
that these men who have been found guilty
OF serious offending received no punishment
whatever at the hands of the police trial
board; the undue leniency of this court is
pointedly referred to in the Commissioners
epistle to Major Moore. For some time past
the force has suffered seriously because
discipline was lax; those who want to know
why discipline was lax will undoubtedly find
answer in the fact that the trial board was
given TO the infiiction of small fines and to
the dismissal of charges instead of the dis
m.ssal of officers. Then there were cases
That never reach,' the trial board at all.
although the exempted officers had been
convicted in Police Court of misdemeanors
that certainly rendered them amenable to
trial for violating police regulations. With
SO much of carelessness on the part of some
OF their superiors it is not extremely sur
prising to know that ten men believed them
selves privileged to indulge in such infrac-
items as the dismissed officers were found
guilty of participating in. Washington like
any other city, has to depend to very
great extent upon it's police force for its
good repute; the force as whole is be-
heved to be active. well-meaning and eff

Der and in every respect, be equal to the
police of any community on the face of the
earth. An ample supply of good material
is available and if any of those who now
wear the uniform are found to be unfit for
the service. they should be promptly re-
moved and their places filed by men who
can be morally upright without over-exert-
fng themselves and who will conscentiously
abide by the oath that is supposed to bind
every one who takes II. There is an unfor-
tunate tendency to regard the dismissals
made yesterday as victory for one faction
in the department and black eye for
another subdivision of the force. Such a
view Of the case should be promptly dis
couhtenanced. The victory is for good gov
eminent and such victories should continue
to occur until all factional feeling and &C
tion have been entirely eliminated and the

only in a unanimous ehdeavor to uphold

The appointment by the District Commits
sioners yesterday of the board of perma-
pent assessors is the first and an i'm
portant step in the execution of the new
assessment lava law the workings of
which concern vitality the interests of the
national capital This law, which was en-
acted during the present session of Con-
gress. is designed to correct the abuses
and remove the hardships from which the
property interests of the District have suf-
fered for some ySars past. The inequali-
ties and injustice of the existing and for
ner assessments have been so glaring that
citizens generally were aroused to insist
upon Congressional action which would
remedy the evils complained of. The mat
ter was .takeL up by the board of trade
and a result of the careful work of that
body. bill Was framed, which, after slight
notifications. received the approval OF the
national legislature and the President. To
the measure originally framed the
District Commissioners added a section
transferring the duties of the excise board
to the proposed board of assessors, and this
amendment was agreed to by Congress.
There therefore rests upon the shoulders of
the three men who compose the board
great burden CT responsibility. but it is be-
after much deli5eratien-will be fully equal
to the task which has been set them. They
are men of ability and experience, possessed
of knowledge of real estate values and are
of high standing in the community. Ample
time is given them in which to do the work
and a just compensation has been provided
as recOmpense for the expenditure of time
and labor which the law requires. I'M
pOrtant is the work OF readjusting the
very uneven assessment under which taxes
are at present being collected. the duties
of the board in connection with the issuing
of liquor licenses can hardly be termed
sec dairy. The liquor license problem in
SO large city as this is always extremely
puzzling. especially when there is SC much
of latitude permitted the authorities as is
conferred by the existing statute. but it is
confidently believed that the board will in
every respect be fully capable of meeting
all requirements Its proceedings will be
watched by friendly yet critical eyes.
