Naval Warrant Officers.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


Some days ago an article appeared In
your valuable paper anent the bill intro
duced to promote boatswains and gunnefs
to the grade of ensign. l have read the
article with great interest, and sincerely
hope the bill will reach successful ISSUE
as 1t will be a great incentive to get good
men enlisted in the service, but there is
one branch of the service which is quite
overlooked in the bill for promotion. viz,
the warrant machinists. Why should not
they receive recognition as well as the
boatswains and gunners?
In the modern vessels of the navy the
machinist Is quite necessary as the
boatswain or gunner; his duties are more
arduous and responsibilities greater than
either of the above officers, both In times
of peace and war. That the warrant ma
chinists are capable and intelligent men was
proved by the examination for promotion
to that grade, when 109 men passed the
examination with an average OF ~ per
cent. JUSTICE.

"The laws of Massachusetts as to capt.

been adduced showing that they have been
peculiarly Ineffective. On the contrary,

I'm this connection, some figures concern

report of the Illinois bureau of labor sta

the mileage and capitalization of the three

Pullman Car Assessment.

Deputy Assessor Beard. under in
stfuctlons from the State Board Of AS
sessnent, wrote to A. S. Wansheimer,
secretary Of the Pullman Car Com
pany for a statement of their taxable
property in Washoe county. who under
oath sent the following.
That in ten states they a their
standard cars over 56l6 miles. That
they had So sleeping cars, valued at
$265,ooo or $4,000 a car, giving a
valuation Of $49.l9 per mile. That
they had AZ tourist cars valued at ISL,
zoo, about $3.50 each, running over
lo,564 miles Of track, which makes
an average Of $4.85 a car per mile,
and the standard and tourists together
averaged $52.04 per mile, all of which
they twere ready and willing to pay
taxes upon.
According to the Journals estimate
this will add to the taxable property in
the state $2l ,258, of which Washoe's
portion will be $3.50. SO, it having a
little over So miles Of track. Of
course this is the valuation and not the
tax amount.
1t is not a large gain, but as the tax
has never before been collected it is a
start in the right direction.
