Cutting Rates.
The position assumed by the MANAGEMENT

pany toward the Trunk Line Association
has acted as source of disquietude TO
both the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
ONO companies, and fears are expressed in
railroad circles that war Of rates I'm the

chairman of the Joint Traffic Association
of which nearly all the great trunk lines
are members, has sent the third invitation
TO the N. and w. to come into the fold. but
at last accounts the n. and W. had not
condescended to reply to Mr.. Blanchard's
note; ana 1t was said that the parties in

hippant manner

Keep Carefully Your Tax Receipts.


To the Editor CT The Evening Star:
Most taxpayers imagine that when they
pay their money for general or special
taxes ard receive the usual receipt OFF,
c.ally stamped. that this is sure provision
against ever being called on to pay the tax
again. If so they may find themselves mis-
taken. At least the writer had an expert
cree which may serve as warning to
others. He found himself advertised in the
list of delinquent taxpayers for a water
assessment he had paid a year before and
held a receipt for the same. Having pro-
duced the receipt again at the tax Office
the mistake was corrected with the apology
that in press of business the payment had
been overlooked.
Now. suppose 1 had not kept my receipt
what would have been the result? Simply
that 1 would have had to pay the bill over
again, for their books had no entry Of the
Pc yment. Warned by this experience. 1
succeeded in escaping another double pay
ment of taxes. Having settled up three
certain property and received receipts
therefor, l went to the additional expense
of paying the usual fee for what is termed
tax certificate, which is the only legal
bar remaining to us poor taxpayers against
the mistakes" of the tax office First
they made the mistake Of sending me a
certff1cate on a different piece of property
than had ordered 1T for; this cntailed a
journey to the tax office on account Of their
carelessness. Then came back a certifica te
on which was recorded all taxes paid ex-
cept "all taxes for 1896 unpaid" Now 1
held receipt for all taxes for 1896 on this
very property. The first half was paid on
April 20 and the second half on Nav O.
1896. end yet on the Goth of June they
send me statement which virtually de-
mands the payment over again of the tax
for 1906 Fortunately again had carefully
preserved my receipts. and on presenting
tfem apologies were in order and a full
paid tax receipt given me. But what the
taxpayers OF this city need is not apologies
but better class Of bookkeepers at the
tax office. No banking firm would permit
such loose ways. think all will agree with
me In the Importance Of the Injunction

THE CHICAGO COLOSSEUM.
The Great Building in Which the
Democratic Convention VIII Meet.

Democratic Convention VIII Meet.
A Chicago dispatch to the New York
Herald says:
1T is generally conceded that a conven-
tion hall for national purposes ought to
seat at least $1,000 persons and in this re-
spect the Colosseum, which the democrats
will meet in, fills the bill, but whether the
acoustics are sufficiently good to enable that
number to hear the strong-lunged orators
speaking from the platform or the dele
gates seats lis a problem unsolved. The
probabilities are that no man in the country
can make himself heard throughout the
Colosseum while the convention is i'm ses-
sion, because there will be more or less ,:oise
and moving about, hut this will make no
particular difference, as most of those who
attend such gatherings go to See and not
to hear.

colosseum Company. said today the idea
In building the present structure was not TO

effects to the sacrifice Of utility and while
