Il FEDERAL CITY

| Daily Picayune:
Several years ago some citizens
of Baton Rouge wanted the State
capital declared the States city,
and if not VIII oily, at least to large
extent, maintained at the cost of
the State.
No State capital in the Union
occupies such a position; but the
Federal capital does. Only one
half the money used for the mainte-
nance of the city of Washington is
raised by taxing property there.
The balance is appropriated out of
the National Treasury.
A Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Chronicle reports that
all private property in the capital
city is owned by less than 1000 per-
sons, many of whom are Senators,
members of Congress-, owners OF
large newspapers and other people
of influence. Washington is rap
idly becoming desirable place of
residence, not only for public men,
but for others who seek Its semi
European social life. AS national
capital, it must continue to grow in
population and beauty, for the
Government is constantly making
public improvements, erecting new
buildings and opening new streets.
Taxes are sail to be low in the
Federal city, and many of the pri-
vate residences there are costly.
The Government buildings of late
period-the Congressional Library,
for instance-have vast wealth Law
ished upon them The older struct-
ures are, in many cases, of
cheaper sort. The day will come
when sectional jealousy between the
West and the East will demand and
capital to some more central point.
Some ST. Louis people have long
the dream that their city
IS to be the future capital. Some
such transfer of the seat of Govern
nent will be accomplished in time.

nificant affair, except so far as dull

fined to professional manipulation by

Ing resulted in only trivial net changes,
most of which were on the side of

wide during the day. many stocks at
one time rising shadow over Satur-

was devoted to the sultry covering
