INCOM e TAX.
What One Would be Worth to the Country at
Present in its Hour of Need.

It has been decided by majority OF
the justices of the Supreme Court OF
the United States that tax upon wealth
to support the federal government is not
warranted by the constitution. Our
congress had provided for such tax
and during our Civil war nearly $780,
100000 were brought into the treasury
from small percentage of the incomes
of the wealthy. The law had been sus-
tanned by numerous decisions, but for
some reasons a judge of the court re-
versed his own opinion, which he had
deliberately given, and thus declared
accumulated wealth exempt from all
taxes.
1t is not our province to impeach the
judgment of the highest court, but we
do affirm that if the convention that
formed the federal constitution intended
to exempt the rich from bearing the bur-
dens Of the government, they were not
qualified to make an organic law for a

CURRENT EVENTS
IN GEORGETOWN
SCARLET FEVER ON THE INCREASE
The Canal Closed for the Season.
Relief Headquarters Establish
ed-Wiliiam Whites Funeral.

A large number of scarlet fever cases
have recently made their appearance in
this section of the city. The disease
seems to be spreading rapidly and is of
severe type.
The canal is closed for the season, and
no coal has been shipped from Cumber-
land for nearly a week. Many boats are
locked in the ice at various points, but
the ice breakers have been put to work.
and it is thought that most of the boats
will get through. As soon as these boats
arrive at either terminus the water will
be drawn from the canal for the winter.
Last week a total of 2,4i5 tons OF coal
were shipped by the canal, these ship
ments having been made early in the
week. During the past season rs, ,245 tons
were sent by the canal, this being a de-
crease as compared with the same period
last year Of 2,592 tons. This decrease Is
especially significant at this stage of the
canals affairs. There has been a large
increase III the output of coal in the
Georges Creek. Cumberland, region. but
Notwithstanding this fact, the shipments
over the canal have decreased and
Georgetown men generally seem to think
that this decrease portends the passing of
the canal as a waterway.

performed during the period of the license.
The Northeast Washington Citizens
Association, through a special committee,
consisting of Messrs. A II. Holstein, J:
r. Colvin, B. Ostmann, and William o.
Miller, has called the attention of the Dis
trict Commissioners to a lack of gas
lamps on Florida Avenue, between Sew
enth and Fourteenth Streets northeast.
1t Is asserted that some of the lamps are
500 feet apart leaving one side of the
street almost entirely without light. The
request for lamps has been denied on ac-
count of lack of funds for street lighting
purposes. The Commissioners state that
twenty additional lamps were recently
erected in the northeast section of the
city and part of them at the instance of
the Northeast Citizens Association.

Two Pointed Question. Answered

What is the use of making better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get better price for 1t?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better.
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly mass
judgment on them and use only the bet
ter one.

berlain's Cough Remedy. The people have
