DISTRICT ESTIMATES
THE COMMISSIONERS BUSY PRE-
PAIRING THEIR REPORT.
Hopeful Of Securing Practically All
They Ask or-personal Tax
and eadessment.

The District Commissioners are progress
ing rapidly with the preparation OF their
estimates OF appropriations needed by the
Dlstrlct government during the next fiscal
year. The Commissioners meet in board
session twice daily, and it is expected will
have the figures in shape for transmission
to the Secretary of the Treasury by Satur-
day next The various heads of depart
ments In the District service are appearing
before the board and explaining their re-
spective schedules of estimates.
The aggregate of the estimates submit
ted to the Commissioners from the depart
ments is between So 600, 600 and $4,000, OOO
Inc commissioners expect to scale this
doWn 10 little more than $lOOOO,OOO. Inc
estimates will then be about the same as
submitted to the last Congress and will rep
resent the needs of the District as the Com
missloners see them. Last year there was
large cut IN the estimates by Congress, but
thls year the authorities are hopeful of Sc
curing practically all that they ask for, as
the District revenues will be increased
largely under the operation of the personal
TAX law and the new assessment OF real
property.
Just what the increase in District reve-
nues Will be has not yet been ascertained
and Will not be at command until after the
poard OF equalization and review concludes
Its work of revising the realty assessments
ana until the personal tax appraisers have
made their rounds and bring in report.
Inc Commissioners proceeding upon
the assumption that the increased revenue
will be sufficient to warrant at least a
Slo,oooooO appropriation bill by Congress.
The Permanent Improvements.
The Commissioners will again ask that
the permanent projects of Improvement be
carried upon a separate account, and be
built through advances from the United
states treasury. A long-term system of
payment through sinking fund will be rec
commended by the Commissioners, in order
that future taxpayers, benefiting by the
present works, may stand a share of the
burden. In no city, the Commissioners will
argue, are large projects of permanent
Improvement paid for Immediately out Of
current revenues.
Last year the Secretary of the Treasury
recommended to Congress that the District
appropriation bill be limited to 81, 500, 600, as
the available revenue apparently amounted
to -, 100000. 1t is believed that the District
revenues will be increased possibly $780,
wv this year. Through schedule of ad-
vances from the treasury the Commission
ers secured appropriations last year above
the $f,oOo,oOO mark for carrying on the work
or constructing filtration plant, and also
secured an appropriation for the new Dis
trict building. The highway bridge across
the Potomac, the District share in the ex-
pense OF the proposed union depot and other
permanent projects will have to be cared
for in the next appropriation bill.

Effect Of Republican Defeat.

THE defeat of the republican ticket will
be practically a defeat for the entire state
hood project for the reason that the bill
now before the Senate in all probability
would be rejected upon the ground that the
people of Oklahoma at the polls had de-
cared against the admission of the terri
tory without the Indian territory. Although
there was opposition to the statehood
bill in the House at the last session, when
the vote was taken. a hard fight had been
made to sidetrack it. If it be Endorsed at
the polls in November I think the Senate
will be certain to pass it without much de-
lay. If it be discredited, as it will appear
If the democrats win. the opponents Of
statehood in the Senate will seize the OPP
portunty to reject 1t and demand a new
bill in line with the sentiment of the peo-
pie. This will mean that action will be
postponed indefinitely. The campaign is
one of the most interesting Oklahoma has
known. There is no apathy there. I look
for the heaviest vote the territory has
polled and l expect republican success
There is no doubt. however that we have a
fight on hands that will keep US busy
until the closing of the polls Everybody
Is anxious that Oklahoma become, a state
but we have met with some difficulty in
presenting the real significance of the state
hood issue The democrats are not in line
with their party in Congress and the re-
publicans have used this fact to some ad-
vantage. Republican speakers have en-
phasized it throughout the territory, and
thereby have brought some confusion to
their opponents. A democratic leader
wrote Senator Bailey. making inquiry as
to the feeling In Congress on statehood, and
asking If the senator did not believe a bill
including the Indian territory could be
passed Mr.. Bailey replied that he did not
think Congress would pass bill of that
kind.
LAS elsewhere, the republicans are talking
prosperity and Roosevelt. Everybody in
Oklahoma admires the President, and many
democrats would like to support him and
see his administration a success. AS l have
said. indications point to the election of the
republican candidates. but vigorous cam
paign must be made"

Caucasian paper here, and one that has
been very fair and liberal in exploiting
Negro genius, since Frank~A. Munsey
assumed charge The figures were fur
nished by officials of the Census Office,
and consequently are reliable
l The most significant feature about the
whole affair is that the two gentlemen
-Messrs. Jennifer and Pelham-who
stand at the head of their class for
quality and quantity of work, in the
manufactures department of the Census
bureau are Negroes-Of pronounced
type There were only a few cOlOred
people in the Census Bureau, and the
miscellaneous dismissals of late has re
duced this number to a minimum. Why
are these people dismissed and others
retained? 1t is certainly not due to in
competency, when it is admitted that
two of their number stand at the head of
their department for quality and quanti-
ty of work Well then, why is It? Has
the hydra-headed monster of color
prejudice" spread out his Unsuitable do
minion from the Southland and encircled
the distant lands of the National Capt.
tai? Has the deadly virus of color
phobia" been injected into the blue veins
Of the man upon whose classic brow sits
enthroned the civilization of centuries
We cannot believe that such is the case,
and yet we are at loss to know why.
Nevertheless the fact remains that the
cOlored clerks in One-tWO-three order
have been led to slaughter, and what
will be done after the first of July can
only be a matter of conjecture.
Somebody should inquire into this
matter and call halt before it is ever
lastingly too late.

one clerk was by Mr. w A. BOlinger,
of Kansas, who, up to February I, held
the record of 0O8 schedules tabulated in
six and one-half hours time.
About this time. however, Mr. Robert
Pelham, Jr, of Michigan, set the mark
considerably higher by tabulating I,I5o
schedules in one day, or not quite twice
the average, which for that day was 5oI
schedules. Mr. Pelham tabulated $50 of
the I,I5o schedules in little less than
four hours time, and upon the exami-
nation of his work by the cOmparers it
was found that he had not sacrificed ac-
Curacy for speed, but had maintained his
quality record by doing the work with
a trifle more than I per cent Of errors.
Had Mr.. Pelham begun at 9 a. m. at
his record-breaking speed, he could have
The colored American., 1902-03-29

tabulated at least 1900 schedules. He
holds without question the quantity rec
ord to date
While in the agricultural division last
year Mr.. Pelham also demonstrated that
his early training in the mailing depart
ment of Detroit newspaper still serves
hin in good stead by successfully treat
in0 and arranging several thousand farm
schedules that had been looked over"
three times by other clerks, counted
among the most efficient in that division,
but who had failed to get them in the
shape desired by the department, for the
crop editing.
To Mr.. William Jenifer, of Texas, be-
longs the quality record for the tabu-
lation mentioned above, he having tabu-
lated GOO schedules in one day without
an error.
These feats were given to reporter
IF the Washington Times, a leading
