Once in while we rnn across news paper that thinks Sheldon's edition of tho Topeka Capital success; and the same newspaper would probably tell you that "In His steps" is the greatest book ever published. We are not book reviewers or literary critics, but in read ing "In His Steps" we see right in the first few chapters a picture drawn of a genus of tramp printer that never ex- isted. The printer "on the road" IS there for cause. and the "print" with the qualities of Sheldon's tourist wouldn't be on the road at all, and es- pecially in the condition of Ion the hog that that tramp was pictured to be.

The Question Regarding Title to
Land I'm the Bomford Estate.

After a thorough .lvestigation Of the
facts the Engineer Commissioner has
recommended to his associates that steps
be taken to ascertain the amount OF taxes
due on certain land lying in Q Street
northwest This tract is now occupied for
public uses and has never been dedicated
to the District. Furthermore, the George
Bomford estate, through its attorneys has
filed a suit for trespass and for damages
10 the amount Of $4,000. In case judgment
is received by the plaintiff, the attorneys
in the case have signitied TO the Commis-
sioners that they will dedicate the land
TO the District for the sum of $4,000, which
they consider the tract worth.
With reference to the title in the prop
erty one of the attorneys of the estate
claiming it recently wrote TO the Commits
sioners. saying that when the tract Of
land called "Kalorama" was subdivided
into a number Of lots and streets, among
which was Q Street it appears that z
Street was not opened between Twenty
second and Twenty third Streets, dis

In view Of the facts Captain Beach
recommends to the Commissioners
that the Board Of Assistant As
SCISSORS be instructed to appraise
the property and to list it for taxa
ton purposes. and that the Assessor be re
quested to inform the Commissioners OF
the amount Of taxes due to date on said
property This step Captain Beach thinks
necessary for the proper protection Of the
interests OF the District.
1t is understood that the other Com
missioners will concur in the views Of Cap

The District Commissioners yesterday
sentso both houses OF Congress the draft
OF a bill TO regulate the collection Of
taxes in the District OF Columbia" with
recommendation that ii be promptly en-
acted. It is explained by the Commission
ers that the legislation proposed in the
bill is necessary TO enable them to put
into operation a system Of records and ac-
counts which has recently been adopted
and which is designed 10 facilitate the
transaction Of business in the assessing
and collecting OF taxes. and for the greater
convenience Of the public having business
with the Tax Department
The Commissioners say that in their
opinion no advantage is derived either by
the taxpayers OF by the municipality from
the existing law prescribing the payment
OF general taxes in two installments. On
the contrary. the Commissioners think
that this requirement is the cause Of much
embarrassment in the administration Of
she Tax Department. The bill proposed
FOR enactment is as follows.

The plan is to consolidate firms engag-
ed in dyeing cotton yarns, in hank, for
the use of manufacturers of fancy
cloths. Later this new British trust
may amalgamate with the Bradford
DYers' Association and the Calico
Printers Association. 1t is declared

Benefits to Humble Workers

There has beeen an increase of $407,-
100000 in the savings bank deposits in
the United States, and an increase of
100000 in the number of savings bank
depositors since 1894, the year when the
Free Traders in power presented us
with the Wilson-G German law. Savings
bank depositors are not capitalists;
they are not as rule, even among
those who are classed as "well to do"
They consist mostly of people who work
for daily wages, or on small salaries.
The figures gathered from the savings
banks records, therefore, show thatit
is not the eapitalist alone, as the Free
Traders would like to have us believe,
who derive benefits from the Protect.
i've Tariff. It is made very plain that
the benefits flowing from Protec: ion
are shared in by the humblest of those
who are willing to work.
