WANTS TERMINAL FACILITIES.
President Newlands. of the Rock Greek
Road, States His Case.

President Newlands. of the Rock Greek
Road, States His Case.
Hon Francis G. Newlands, president Of the
Rock Creek Railway Company, has written a
letter to the District Committees of the Senate
and House. asking that they take some action to
enable his company to obtain terminal facilities
down town. After reciting the work done by his
company and noticing the various attempts to
obtain legislation by the Washington Traction
and Metropolitan Railroad Companies, he states
that a deadlock has now occurred, and he fears
that the session will pass without action being
taken on this matter. He then continues:
"since became interested in these enter
prises have become a member OF Congress. and
personally ! would prefer to secure rights of
access to central points for the Rock Creek Rail-
way Company by negotiation with existing COM
panies rather than by legislation, for legislation
concerning enterprises in which am interested
involves considerations of delicacy. But as the
owners of the property object to the appropri-
alton of any new route, and the existing rail-
ways object TO the joint use of any portion of
their tracks, am compelled to make application
for some solution of this matter by your honor
able committees
..In this connection We present the following
considerations: These enterprises have ex-
pended in the District over s2,OO0.o0O, most of
which has gone to labor We have secured with
ou. cost to the District the dedication TO public
use of Connecticut avenue extended. 100 feet
wide, for space Of more than three miles We
have graded and improved this avenue without
cost to the public, and have constructed two
bridges al a cost of nearly s200000, which were
designed not merely for the railway, but to ac-
commodate the general public In no respect
have these enterprises been a charge upon the
public On the contrary, taxable values have
been largely increased by them. The Rock
Creek railway furnishes the only means of de-
yeloping the beautiful region west of Rock
creek. By means of lateral lines extending TO
the west il can be the main factor in the devel-
opment of what Will be in the future a superb
addition TO Washington.
'In view, therefore, of the, public interests il
represents and the benefcent results it prom
ises suggest that it should not be compelled
10 halt at the verge of the city, but should be
allowed, either by its own line by some trunk
line, access to central points"

HILL ON THE INCOME TAX.

The attempt of Senator Hill to decry the
income tax as undemocratic. unauthorized,
and unpopular will prove dismal failure.
1t is true that the income tax is not in favor
with wealthy Democrats, nor was 1t approved
by the Democratic national convention, but
it is popular with the general public, and is
being indorsed by Democratic conventions
in all parts of the country.
1t is tax on brain energy, and not on the
wages of labor, and will be welcomed by a
majority of the people as means Of reliev-
ing in part the burden of tariff taxation.
So long as the earnings Of manufacturing
are regulated by protective tariff law, and SO
long as the cupidity of trusts and business
corporations is limited only by their ability to
bleed the public, any measure that will levy
tax on their incomes will be both popular and
justifable.
Senator Hill will have to adopt some other
method of proving his democracy than by de-
nouncing the income tax The majority OF
his party and a majority Of the great public
will not agree with him nor approve his de-
nunciation. Therefore his speech will not
make Il good campaign document, nor will it
add to his reputation as Democrat.

Inspect b. o. Tracks With Refer.

1t was quite pleasant little party Of gentle
men that drove about in vehicle yesterday
morning and inspected the tracks and terminal
facilities Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in
the northeastern section of the city. There were
Messrs W. j. Frizzell and Evan II. Tucker, Of
the Northeast Washington Citizens Association.
who acted as the hosts Of the occasion; Messrs.
Heard, Babcock, and Cooper, of the House Dis
trict Committee, were the guests. and MessrsL
William Olney and &. E. Hamilton representing
the railroad company and to help along the con-
versaticn.
While the party was driving about the Con-
gressmen got several object lessons as to how
easy 1t Is for persons or vehicles 10 be run over
by trains Or engines at the different grade,
above grade, and below grade crossings All this
was done in order to impress the Legislators with
the necessity of passing the bill which proposes
TO compel the Baltimore and Ohio road 10 enter
the city by viaduct.
The start was made from the tracks at North
Capitol street opposite the northern end of the
depot. and thence by easy stages the inspecting
party went to the street crossing. where the
Metropolitan branch joins the Baltimore road;
then 10 street, and to Delaware avenue, at
which points trains were being shifted and re-
tarded progress The Congressmen were made
familiar with the dangers of the \, and the I'm
pediments to travel by vehicle at the crossings
from Second TO Eighth streets impressed upon
them.
The citizens related the stories Of the fatal ac
cidents that had occurred at several Of these
crossings, the representatives Of the railroad
company in every instance endeavoring TO show
that the respective victims met their fate
through contributory negligence. They also
contended that the grade Of the railroad had
been established by act OF Congress. and that
much of the obstructive condition was due 10
the radical changes made by Gov. Shepherd
twenty odd years ago.
The Congressrnen expressed themselves as
very much gratifed at having had the oppor-
tunity TO see for themselves what the situation
Is, and requested that a like opportunity be
given the other members of the committee.
Whel the committee is ready 10 visit the point
beyond the city limits where il Is proposed to
build the new they will make use Of loco
motive and car which will be placed at their dis
posal by Mr. Oiney.

THE SENATE MUST BE CONSISTENT.

It is TO be hoped that the Senate will not
hand Messrs. Havemeyer and Searles over to
the District Attorney 1t would violate all
precedent and introduce into sugar trust
events an uncertainty that would be as pain
ful as novek
Up TO date all has been consistent.
Our census laws prescribed inquiries to be
made from manufacturers, aud penalties for
refusal to respond. The small fry obeyed the
law; the main sugar trust concerns refused any
information. Mr.. Porter waited till the Harri-
administration was about at au end before
he put it in the hands of the Attorney General.
In January last it was practically decided to
drop the prosecution.
Again. when the Senate Finance Commit
tee received the Wilson bill, it resolved to
have no hearings" and the manufacturers
OF the country were warned away from the
Capitol. OF course this was intended only
for the small fry, and the committee had all
the more time to give the sugar trust, which
set up its headquarters at Washington and
sent for the Senators whom it wanted to see,
its henchmen "holding up" the tariff bill till
a satisfactory adjustment was reached.
Then came the Investigation" at which
the Senators who proposed to vote for the
sugar trust schedule made inquiry as to the
authority of the backblters who had actually
limited that some of them had aided to con-
eoct the scheme to which they were to sur
render. The reporters were so impudent as
to suggest that the men who did the work
were the best witnesses, and while they were
yet unsworn declined to supply their lack.
The committee was forced to the reluctant
discourtesy of sending for and questioning
Messrs. Havemeyer and Searles. This proved
a great mistake. for they actually admitted
much of what the reporters had charged, and
were forced to refuse to answer further as
the only way to avoid unpleasant disclosures.
1t was not the fault of the sugar trust officials
or of the committee, but rather that Of the
reporters, that they were summoned at ali.
But the Populist member of the committee
and Searles included with common reporters
in presentment to the District Attorney.
The Senate however, may be trusted to
observe those traditions of courtesy to CO.
ordinate branches of the government that
has distinguished not merely the Senate
Itself. but the executive and judicial de-
rartments OF our government as well, in its
dealings with the sugar trust-the great
'foarth estate.'
