The Law Declared Ineffective.
APPOINTMENT OF ARMY OFFICERS.
An Inquiry Made of the Secretary OF
War by Senate Committee.


The committee on military affairs of the
Senate has ordered that a letter be written
to the Secretary of War, asking him to
state to the committee his Interpretation of
the law relating to appointment to heads of
bureaus, etc, from the lists of army Of
ficers. 1t is understood that the COMMITTEE
itself expects that the officers of senior
grades shall be given these appointments
rather than officers very far down the list
provided that their fitness is equal
This letter does not refer to the name of
Capt. William Crozier, nominated to be
chief of ordnance of the army, but it bears
upon his case and was called out because
OF his nomination to be chief of ordnance.
1t is understood that If the Secretary of
War indicates that his Interpretation of the
law is such as to allow him to select Of
ficers without regard to their seniority that
the committee will take an early oppor-
tunity to re-enact the law bearing on that
subject in such language as to leave no
question of doubt.
The committee on military affairs of the
Senate has received a letter from Joseph
l.. Sttckney, representing the trustees of
the Brown segmental wire tube gun, bear
ing on the nomination of Capt. William
,Crozier to be chief of ordnance of the
army. The writer states that for reasons
specified in his letter Captain Crozier's
nomination should not be favorably re-
ported to the Senate for confirmation. He
SPECIFIES pdleIlS lildl nave D6en secured
in the United States by Captain Crozier
for disappearing gun mounting and for
wire-wound gun.
The writer refers the committee to the
records of the patent office for further in
formation regarding these patents. Under
the law, the writer says. Captain Crozier
is clearly ineligible to serve as member
of the board Of ordnance or Notifications,
Of which, by the custom Of the service the
chief of ordnance becomes a member He
says that 1t is one of the fundamental
principles Of justice that no man shall sit
as judge in a case in which he has a per-
sonal interest, and that 1t is manffestly
improper that an officer who Is trying to
secure the adoption of his invention by the
United States should sit in a board whose
duty it is to decide whether the inventions
are suitable for use in the army. As an
evidence that Captain Crozier is trying to
secure the adoption of his invention of a
wfre-wound gun by the United States
army, the writer transmits paper bearing
on the subject.

Charges Against Otero.

The Senate committee on territories spent
the greater part of yesterday in dnvestigat-
ing the charges made against NJ A. Otero
in connection with his denomination as
governor of New Mexico. These charges
were formulated by Ex-Delegate Catron.
but were read by VIM. NJ. Berger of Santa
Fe. They assert that under Governor
Otero the republican party in New Mexico
has become mere clique and also attacks
the governor on his business record
The committee, after hearing all the
charges, unanimously decided to recon-
mend his confirmation by the Senate.

of the personal tax law, and with two as
sistants engaged In reporting upon all mer-
camille establishments, with a view to list
ing for taxation every one liable under the
law. The lack of force necessary to en-
force this law and other obstacles impel
me to again recommend it's repeal, and in
lieu thereof license tax on all mercantile
business and corporations Except street
railways of one-half of 1 per cent on
each 500 of the gross volume of business

equitable and Just, and simplify the assess
ment and collection of the tax"
The Law Declared Ineffective.
A test case was carried to the District
Supreme Court and was there decided ad-
versely to the law, which was declared to
be Ineffective by reason of the lack of the
proper machinery for it's enforcement. Thus
after more than a quarter of century
of effort on the part of the District off,
Gals the law was declared to be inopera-
tive
The draft of new personal tax law to
replace the old has since been made by
the assessor at the instance of the chair
man Of the Senate District committee and
is now under consideration.

tional Misrepresentation Of fact, and In
every way is calculates to demoralize the
| general standard Of public morality by en-
couraging extreme tension in the on whose
| conscience is inclined to be elastic On the
question of legal responsibility. The Law
should be repealed"
A Prediction of Judicial Repeal.
In 1895 the assessor YEARLY refers to his
previous arguments and representations
against the personal tax law and says: II
venture this further assertion that if ap-
| pealed to our courts would find close re-
| lattonship between this and the much-ab-
| horred income tax which was lately abolish
| ed by decision of our highest judicial tri
bunal, I submit the question without itlr-
| Their argument or suggestion in he nope,
| however, that the law will be repealed"
In 1900 the assessor, the incum-
! bent. said: Being well satisfied that an
| equitable enforcement relating to personal
property is absolutely impossible I deem
| it my duty to make recommendation for
| it's repeal. 1 claim that this law is wrong
| in principle. that 1t invites perjury, and
| Is calculated to demoralize the standard Of
public morality. The comparatively small
revenue derived from this tax could be
| compensated by a revision of our license
| laws by substituting in lieu of the present
| system tax on all mercantile business and
| corporations of one-half Of / per cent on
| each 500 Of the gross volume of business
| done each year."
| The question of the personal tax in the
| District was discussed In Congress at the
| last session and inquiry was made by
! members Of the Houses of the Commission
ers as to the reasons why 1t, the law, was
not enforced. The assessor, being asked
| for an opinion. suggested that the law was
uncomfortable. The subsequent proceed
| ings were noted In the course Of his annual
| report, as follows:
An Effort to Collect Tax.
Under a recent order of the Commits
sioners the assessor was directed to en-
| force the provisions of the personal tax
| law and 1t shall be my endeavor to comply
| with said order to it's fullest extent with
| the means at my command. Due notice
has been given by advertisement, and
| blanks sent out requiring returns to be
made on or before August l. 1901, after
which time all persons liable to personal
tax. where the facts can be ascertained,
will be assessed, as provided by law, with
an addition OF 30 per cent. For the past
two months have personally visited the
prominent residential portion of the city
and the various local corporations, trust

NEED
OF a Bridge at Cuya-

4 Taxpayer Calls Attention Of
Officials Thereto.
Akron, o., March 26, 'O2.

Akron, o., March 26, '02.
To the Editor of the Democrat:
noticed when the appropriations
were made for the different funds of
the taxes paid into the treasury, that
there was $4,000 put into the bridge
fund.
Now, nearly three years ago the City
Council took action for bridge across
the river on Cuyahoga street intersect-
ing North Howard st. and the matter
was brought up to the City Commits
sioners. The former City Council and
City Commissioners were satisfied that
the bridge WIS nm urgent necessity for
the safety of life and limb of all those
that were compelled to travel Cuyahoga
st. from the northwest part OF the
city and county. The City Council
took immediate action upon the mat.
ter, but 1t got hung up by the Oity
Commissioners on the plea that as
soon as the bridge fund received REIN
bursements. the bridge would be built
Now TO allay any erroneous opinions
that the tax payers OF the city might
have that the people Of Cuyahoga
ut. want an extension or new opening
for the street, is not true. Cuyahoga
St. and this part now shut OF Ia one
pf the Oldest streets In the city, even
the regular street 10 enter the city,
way back TO the time of the stage
routes were the only means of travel,
II being one Of the regular streets trav-
ersed by the stages from north to
south through Akron; and Il was a
regular thoroughfare until number
Of years ago, when 1t was cut OF and
the people made to go a narrow by.
way out OF the regular course to get
onto Howard ST.
At that time there were no street
cars on Howard street or any build,
ings 10 obstruct the view so as 10 avoid
any chance Of collisions, but now the
entrance from Cuyahoga street to
Howard st. is a death trap, as neither
the person In the private conveyance
nor the motorman can see the other
until they come within few feet OF
one another. 1t is only by miracle that
there are not daily accidents and death
at the intersection of Howard and
Cnynhoga SITS.
We trust the City Commissioners
will take immediate action and save
the tax payers the expense of dam
age suit as well as the unnecessary loss
Of life and limb, especially when the
cost OF bridge and approaches will not
exceed $1,000, aud thereby give the
people Of Cuyahoga ST., etc, the benefit
of that which they have been paying
taxes Tor for many years.
