The French system of Taxes.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The consular report for June contains a
very interesting article on taxation in
France, some features of which are far
more just than our system. Houses and
other buildings are taxed In proportion to
the rent derived from them, buildings used
for business purposes paying a lower tax
than those used as residences. To induce
parties to build houses are not taxed until
three years after they are completed. Ex-
emptions are granted to all large families
of limited means and worthy of sympathy,
and by law of 1897 rural proprietors
whose taxes would amount to from 10 to
. francs are relieved from all taxation.
Every species of business pays license
tax and, strangest Of all, the amount de-
rived from personal taxes Is as large as
that derived from real property. The the
ory on which property Of all kinds is taxed
is based upon it's capacity to yield a reve-
nue., and not on its intrinsic or selling
value which Is certainly more just and
equitable than our system for every one
can afford to pay according to his income.
If our single tax advocates would use their
efforts to have that system adopted instead
of the one they advocate they might ac-
complish some good.
There is one feature Of the French sys-
tenn however that strikes one as very
strange, to say the least and that is the
tax on doors and windows. This is simply
a tax on light and air, which nature fur
nishes free to ALL Double doors are
charged more than single ones, and the
taxes on doors and windows are highest on
the lower floor and they vary in different
cities according to the number of the popu-
lation. the tax being increased as the city
increases in size.
Dogs are taxed, and- apparently not per-
mitted to run at large The tax on a
watch dog kept on TIM lover floor, always
tied I'D or held by accord when out, is 2
francs (3S6 cents) per- year; other dogs of
valued breeds. 10 to Is francs ($193 to
$3.50 per year. but Whefher these latter
are kept confined the ,ooHnl does not state.

TRUSTEES RECONSIDER.
Lists of Questions In Schools With
lraWn-SaIe of Badges.

District Commissioner Macfarland was
informed today by Mr.. ]. W. Whelpley,
president of the board of trustees of the
public schools, that the board at spe-
cial meeting held Thursday reconsidered
the authority granted the Medical society
to obtain certain statistics relative to
school children, and that the questions
prepared by the society will be withdrawn.
The board also directed that the rules in
regard to the sale of badges of the Anti
Cigarette League shall be enforced and
such sales prohibited.
Mr.. Macfarland has also received a let
ter from Mr.. l. Q. H. Award. attorney and
general superintendent of the Anti-CiGar-
ette League. in which Mr.. Award states
which he accuses the public press of max
ing in regard to the sale of the leagues
badges to public school children. The OBJ
ject of the league, states Mr.. Award. is
to pledge boys and girls to refrain from the
use of cigarettes and tobacco until they
have reached the age of twenty-one." Boys
and girls become members of the league.
he explains. upon signing the pledge, and
are not required to purchase badges un-
less they wish them.
There has been." declares Mr.. Award.
absolutely no effort to force the sale of
badges in any Of the schools and the stu
cards with, in many cases, the express un-
derstanding that they were not required to
purchase badges: Pledge cards and badges
have been distributed by the boy and girl
superintendents in the various schools. and
no. by representatives of the league. Per-
haps one-fifth Of the boys and girls who
have signed the pledges have purchased
badges, and from these sales the local
league receives small profit.
''The press" complains Mr.. Award. has
made much of this. While the officers of
the local organization have no desire to en-
ter into a newspaper controversy, we do
not hesitate to state to you that the gross
receipts from the sale Of badges would not
pay 25 per cent of the expense of the
pledge cards, which are distributed gratui-
tously, to say nothing Of badges which are
quite often given out in the same way to
those who are unable to purchase them.
The purpose Of the league is to aid the
youth in overcoming the growing evil of
cigarette smoking, not to make a profit
from the sale of badges. We believe that
you, knowing the facts. can but wish us
hearty Godspeed in the work undertaken.
Mr.. Macfarland desires 1t understood that
he is in sympathy with the object Of the
league, but feels that the action Of the
school board in prohibiting the sale Of the
leagues badges to school children is quite
proper.
