PERSONAL TAX IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, March 23.-At the frs,

an act was passed reviving the personal
tax law OF the District OF Columbia, which
II was impossible to enforce when formerly
on the statute books. Under the law AZ
1t stands a tax OF ~ per cent. is collect.

pictures, articles OF wearing apparel and
Of personal adornment. A penalty OF ao

dissatisfaction with this provision OF the

that he should be assessed and penalized

Senator Hoar also is much interested in
the operation OF the new law, and
may introduce an amendment at the next
session OF Congress which will exempt
operation during their sojourn In the ma.
tional capital. The officials at the Dis
trict Building do not believe this, how
ever. as they say it would operate as a
discrimination, and the law tries TO avoid
determinations. There are many transient
residents Of the District besides the Sena.
tors and Representatives.
majority Of the Congressional dwellers
In the capital have made their returns,
however, while others are disposed to
resist the double taxation. Senator Elkins
Of West Virginia has sent in a return OF
Si7, 900 worth Of tangible personal prop
erty. Representative Hit has declared
for large amount. Representative Wads-
worth OF New York neglected TO make a
return and he Is now faced with a large
assessment, which includes a penalty Of

From another point OF view, that OF the

This leads to the self evident conclusion that
the United States possesses or will possess

England and France. Considering only
the number Of ships authorized or build
ing. including the three battleships Of the
Vermont class, and the two battleships of
the Mississippi class, provided for by the

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The naval au-
thorities awoke to-day to the realization
that the United States have risen from
the position Of a second class TO that OF
great naval power. A few years ago the
American Navy stood sixth on the list OF
naval nations. being superior only to Japan
among those nations which have made
pretensions to q big fleet. Now, however,
according to an official memorandum
handed to-day to Charles II. Darling. The
acting Secretary OF the Navy, by Capt.
Charles d. Sigsbee. Chief Of the ONCE OF
Naval Intelligence. this Government is
the third naval power. basing the calcu-
lation on the number Of battle-line ships
built, building and authorized, while on the
basis Of comparison OF vessels under con-
struction or authorized only the United
States stands second in naval strength.
All authorities now recognize that the
real criterion of nations naval strength
Ia the number Of Its fighting ships. Now
adays these include only armorclads capable
Of taking a place in the line OF battle.
Lightly armored cruisers, protected and
unprotected cruisers, gunboats. torpedo
boat destroyers and torpedo boats being
regarded as auxiliaries and not as actual
fighting craft. Capt. Sigsbee followed this
rule In making his calculations. which were
based on official data, and a mere matter
OF addition proved that the United States
is the third naval power from the stand
point OF actual and authorized strength,
although II stands fifth only in the point
OF number OF vessels now available.
'In arranging naval powers in their
order Of relative strength says Capt.
Sigsbee, only those vessels should be con-
sidered which are capable OF giving and
receiving blows on the battle line. These
are battleships. armored coast defence
vessels and arInored cruisers. Other vessels
are necessary for various duties, but the
crucial test Ia the battle line. On this basis
the relative strength is as follows:
