The Rapid Change From Farms to
Built Up Streets and Avenues.

The laying of the corner stone of the Nc
Kinley Memorial Hall Of Government at
the American University has directed at
tention to the northwest section of WASH
ington. 1t was proposed to Bishop Hurst
when he purchased the grounds for the
university site that he secure 500 acres in
stead on 100, setting aside 400 acres to be
sold to establish an endowment fund for
the university. 1t is evident that had the
friends Of the university foreseen the rapid
growth Of the city in that direction this
would have been done. as millions of dollars
could have been realized had that amount
of property been sold at the present prices.
The university campus was purchased for
81, 200 per acre. and that was considered
fair price at that time but there is no
acreage property now anywhere to be had
that is at all desirable In that vicinity for
less than from 81 600 to 5000 per acre. 1t
may be remembered that the Barber prop
erty of thirty acres was bought for $120.-
600 and sold to the cathedral foundation
eighteen months afterward at $4,000, and
this is but a sample of many more recent
transactions. The Cleveland home was
purchased for $50. 600. sold to Mr.. Newlands
for $150,OO0, from whom Col. Fleming
bought two acres, including the old house,
for 10000. and has since refused So. coo for
the same piece.

Laborers In the DEPARTMENTS
Editor of The Evening Star.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The President of the United States was
once member of the civil service Commits
sion and is truly a civil service reform
man and a fearless advocate of the "merit
system. The laborers in the various de-
partments who are doing MESSENGERS
work. and in some instances clerical work
are looking to the President for a proper
believe they should be classified. and If
they merit it they should be placed in the
line of promotion. The various depart
ments are full of men in the classified sery-
ice as messengers" and assistant messen-
gers who cannot give as good service to
their chiefs as do the laborers Thus the
laborers are repeatedly called upon to per-
form some task the messengers could not
perform on account of the messengers in
ability to read fiuenty or at sight.
In all well-regulated business houses men
are given chance to be promoted if they
merit IL. In the government service under
existing rules, a man may be capable in
telligent. efficient and painstaking: he NAV.
after year or more of service show spe-
cial aptness or adaptabilty. yet he must
remain laborer all his days, do messenger
work and draw q laborer's pay although he
may be superior to the messenger intelec-
tually and give better service. We have
noticed the rules in some Of the depart-
ment5 read thus:
in all cases where clerks having higher
salaries are less efficient than those having
less salaries that fact shall be reported.
ground of merit only"
Why should not this fair rule apply to
the laborers, who are the hardest work ed
employees in the service? c. R.

be assessed making "a double taxation. He
contended that h6wStild be as just to tax
a mans farm and then tax the deed for
that farm.
President Mallery said that 95 per cent OF
the taxes at presentTis raised on real es-
tate, and that if it We're necessary to raise
more revenue unreasonable personal tax
law, while not pleasant need not be objec-
tionable, as it would not materially increase
the poor mans Hlrdedi, while it would in
crease the taxes of many who are we'll able
to pay. but who now very largely escape
their just shareEDf 1akation. It was gen.
orally agreed that $3.50 is too small an ex-
emption.
Mr.. McKeen thought that the whole mat
ter Of taxation and af'divison of expenses
between the District and the general gov
eminent was on an unsatisfactory basis.
He contended that the only just way of tax
ing the District is to fix a rate of taxation
which should not be materially higher than
that in other similar communities, and that
this should be applied first to purely local
needs and then to other matters as far as
it would go, and then let Congress appro-
pirate as much OF as little from the general
government as it sees fit.
President Mallory declared that on the
half-and-half proposition the general gov
eminent owes the District over S13. O0U, 600
yet the District was often expected to pay
In single year for extraordinary Improve
ments whose benefits Would accrue mostly

KENILWoRTH ASSOCIATION.
Discussion Of Local Interests, Includ-
ing Proposed Personal Tax.

There was a meeting of Kenllworth Cit
liens Association in Kenilworth on Tues
day evening The meeting was called to
order by President Mallery, who. in the abb
sence of the chairman of the committee on
road improvement, explained the present
condition and prospects of the promised APP
preparation for matchmaking the road from
the Benning lace track to the District line.
From the interest taken in the matter and
the promises made by the members of Con-
gress who have the matter in charge, and
others, he concluded that the prospect FOR
securing at this session the appropriation
for the much-needed improvement was
good. Notwithstanding the general tendency
to cut down appropriations for the District.
The several committees already appointed
to look after such matters as electric light
Ing, fire and police protection, &C., were in
stTucted as to future action. and recon-
mended to bring before the District Com
missioners the matter of necessary appro-
priations for next year when they begin to
make up the estimates for that year.
Some time was spent in the discussion of
the proposed personal tax law for the Dis
trict. w. b. Shaw could not see the Justice
of a personal tax law, and to illustrate his
point said that manufacturing concern
would be taxed, while at the same time GER

location may be attributed some of this
marvellous growth, but the fact that the
Episcopal Cathedral buildings the Presby-
terrain School for Boys and the Methodist
University have been located in this section
has called the attention of those large de-
nominations TO the availability of this por-
tion Of the District desirable for resi-
dence. And it is not to be wondered at
that under these circumstances some of the
most successful and prosperous subdivisions
have been opened up and developed. 1t is
surprising to note the large number of new
buildings that have recently gone up or
that are now in course of construction on
the west side OF Wisconsin avenue, where
but few years ago nothing was seen but
truck farms.
