ne President and Congress in regard to
artain items in the Indian appropria-

measure unless In some way the pro-
visions OF which the President does not
approve are nulliaed, or II is possible
that he may allow It TO become a law
without his signature.
1t any rate. he has taken a very de-
cided stand against certain parts OF the
bill. He does not believe that poor 10

Committee FavorS Same
Rate for Improved and
Uninlproved Property.
AMENDMENT RECOMMENDED
Level Tax CT $3.50 Per sIoo-All Prop
erty 10 Be Subject to Assessment for
Water Mains and othaT Improve
menta.

The Senate District Committee yester-
day decided to recommend a change in
the real estate tax law in the District.
making the rate on all property, i'm
proved and unimproved. s1.50 per 800.
The present law taxes improved prop
erty $40 per SlGO. and unimproved
property in tire suburbs 5uly 81 per 500.
Tho committee has been considering
the advisability Of the change for some
weeks. 1t is argued that the lesser tax
on unimrroved property IS an injus-
tice, and that in addition TO reducing
the revenues of the District it tends to
prevent the development of suburban
property.
Amendment to House Bill.
The change OF the law has been made
in the form of an amendment to the
House bill relating to tax sales and
other tax matters in the District, intro
duced two months ago.
il IS wcrded rs follows:
THAT hereafter the rate of taxation
on all real estate in the District of Co
iGL-Iid. iu.lAILDB Improvements lHtlcO
shall be uniform. not exceeding si.j0 on
each slC0 of assessed valuation; and that
whenever a subdivision of any portion
OF said real estate is made and recorded
with the Surveyor Of the said District,
the board Of assistant assessors OF said
District IS hereby authorized and d.
rccted to roassess said property SO sub
divided. and the tax on said reassess-
ment shall be due and payable at the
semi-annual payment of taxes next fol-
lowing said reassessment"
Other Amendments.
A number OF other amendments havd
been added TO the bill among them the
following:
THAT in the District of Columbia all
property. except that owned By the
-'ni;ed States or the District of Column
G.. shall be subject to assessments for
Ter mains and local Improvements;
! only such property used for educa-
nal purposes as is not used for pri-
ate gain shall be exempt from general
axation.
THAT hereafter the assessor Of the
District CT Columbia shall have the
records of his office open to inspection
OF the public, free of charge, at such
time o. times as the public interest will
permit.
That in all cases where assessments
OF benefits for street extensions in the
District OF Columbia have been or may
hereafter be levied. payment of the
same shall be made in five equal an
rual installncnts, with interest at the
rate of per centum per snnum until
paid; provided, that in all cases Of
payment the accounting officers Of the |
District shall take into account the as
sessments for benefits and the awards |
for damnres 8"

none OF those prerogatlyes OF power
which are usually associated with the
idea OF monarchy. There IL much less
OF the one man power in the British
constitution than there Is In that OF the
United States Of America. The Ameri-
can president has far more direct per-

Is that In all matters Of legislation the
British empire Is quite as republican as
the United States, inasmuch as the will

side by the will OF the monarch. Upon
that point the usage Of the British con-
stitution Is absolutely clear Not even
the most headstrong sovereign would
dare to refuse the royal assent 90 any
measure passed through both houses Of
parliament. II any attempt were made

would probably provoke a measure de-
claring that the royal approval should

Every cabinet MINISTER Is member
OF his majesty's privy council; but the
members Of the privy council are a
very heterogeneous multitude OF per-
sons who are only distinguished from
their fellows by being entitled 10 call
themselves Right Honorable The privy
council as whole has never met, al
though all the members OF It are sum-
moned al the beginning Of a new reign.
and they viii probably all attend the
coronation. But Il Is not necessary 10
confine the choice 10 members Of the
privy council. The prime minister
can make any person he pleases a mem-
Der Of his cabinet and when he be-
comes a member Of his cabinet he be-
comes at the same time a member OF
the priyy council Of the king.
The cabinet Is presided over by a
minister who must possess and retain
the confidence Of the majority Of the
house OF commons. His tenure can be
terminated al a moments notice by the
majority Of the house OF commons. and
