power, though this effort may in its own
proper time and place be proper enough.
Meanwhile while our own people should
remember that there is need for the highest
standard Of conduct among the Americans
sent to the Philippine Islands. not only
among the public servants but among the
private individuals who go to them. It is
because feel this SO deeply that in the
administration Of these islands have POSI-
lively refused to permit any discrimination
whatsoever for political reasons and have
insisted that in choosing the public serv-
ants consideration should be paid solely to
the worth Of the men chosen and to the
needs OF the islands. There is no higher
body of men in our public service than we
have In the Philippine Islands under Gov
SAAAoA VAiShI anu HIS associates. so 1ar
as possible these men should be given
free hand, and their suggestions should re-
ceive the hearty backing both of the Exec
utive and of the Congress. There is need
OF vtgilant and disinterested support of
our public servants in the Philippines by
good citizens here in the United States.
Unfortunately hitherto those of our people
here at home who have specially claimed
to be the champions of the Filipinos have
In reality been their worst enemies.
This will continue to be the case as long
as they strive to make the Fflipinos indie
pendent, and stop all Industrial develop
ment OF the islands by crying out against
the laws which would bring It on the
ground that capitalists must not "exploit'
the islands. Such proceedings are not only
unWise, but are most harmful to the EIli-
p1nos, who do not need independence at all,
but who do need good laws, good public
servants, and the Industrial development
that can only come If the investment of
American and foreign capital in the islands
is favored in all legitimate ways
Every measure taken concerning the IS
lands should be taken primarily with a
view to their advantage. We should GER
tainly give them lower tariff rates on their
exports to the United States If this is not
done 1t will be wrong to extend our ship
ping laws to them. l earnestly hope for the
immediate enactment into law Of the legis-
latfon now pending to encourage American
capital to seek investment in the Islands in
railroads, In factories, in plantations, and
in numbering and mining.

AFFAIRS OF DISTRICT

The Collection Of Taxes.
The receipts from realty taxes during the
year amounted to 1922. $50 10; from per-
sonal taxes, $3.50. 730.O2; and from miscella-
neous sources. 1853, 837.04, aggregating 81
703, 267.1 OF the amount collected from
personal taxes the sum of $76s2O.O4 was
for arrears, leaving $553, 9299S as the re-
suit for the year 1904, or grand total dur
ing the two years the law has been in
force of 81, 091, 021.60.
The Commissioners again take pleasure in
noting the responsiveness which attends
the enforcement of the personal tax law.
It has not been necessary to distrain ex-
cept in a few minor cases, and in the larger
number of instances where reluctance was
shown by the taxpayer In meeting his obli-
cations the diligent work Of the collectors
Office has been effective. When, in accord
ance with law, all unpaid personal tax ae-
counts at the end of the fiscal year 1903
were turned over to the collectors office
for collection, the inability of that office to
place force in the field sufficient to secure
all these delinquencies caused considerable
loss of revenue. The provision made by
Congress during the last session for addi-
tioral assistance proved Of great value It
enabled the representatives Of the tax office
to visit all sections of the District and re-
quest delinquents to settle their accounts.
BY this personal solicitation, accompanied
In many cases by explanation, much fric-
ton has been avoided and the exercise of
harsh measures obvfated It should be
stated, however, that persons desiring to
evade payment of the tax have frequent
opportunity to do so through removal from
the District, transfer or sale of their prop
erty retirement from business, etc, and it
is only by prompt pursuit of these deIin-
quents and patient effort in bringing the
accounts to their attention that the revenue
is saved to the District. These accounts.
though always small in amount. are suffi-
GENTLY numerous to lead the Commission
ers to earnestly recommend that the appro-
priation for additional assistance be in
creased to 5000.
The Commissioners also take pleasure In
inviting attention to the fact that the
amount of unpaid taxes for the seventeen
years, inclusive. from 1877 to 1908 amounts
to only $108065.14, an average of about
5000 year. This demonstrates the

During the past year 504, 201, 4S2 square
yards of paved streets were cleaned by
hand, as against 52S. OF. sos square yards in
1903, decrease of 1s.s76,323 square yards,
due to the transfer of a portion of The
hand-cleaning area to machine sweeping
last May. The total cost of this class OF
work, including salaries of repair and stable
men, was $SS,O57.72 in 1904, as against s91,-
1SO.7S the previous year, a decrease of 49,
MAY, 1904, the hand-cleaning area was re-
duced from LOCO. 900 squars yards to 1,60O-
600 square yards per day, and the daily
machine-sweeping area increased from L.
400 600 square yards to 100000 square
wards At the same time the number of
laborers on hand cleaning was reduced
from 202 to 100. because of the lesser area
to be cared for.
Previous to November 1903 the horses OF
the department were boarded at a livery
stable at cost of SIC per head per month.
In October 1903. the Commissioners leased
half of the two-story brick building in
which the horses were kept at a rental or
SO per month. and In the following Novem-
monthly rental of $125. This department
took full charge of 1t. and the repair shop
and storage room, which had previously
been located in another section of the city,
were transferred to that point, thus placing
under one roof that branch Of the service
pertaining to the maintenance of the equip
ment used in connection with hand cleaning
and sprinkling. BY reason Of this arrange

whether they were born here or born
abroad. 1t has proved very difficult to Sc
cure from Russia the right for our Jewish
fellow citizens to receive passports and
travel through Russian territory. Such
conduct is not only unjust and irritating
toward u.s. but 1t is difficult to see its wis
dom from Russia's standpoint. No con-
ceivable good is accomplished by 1t. If an
American Jew or an American Christian
misbehaves himself in Russia he can at
once be driven out; but the ordinary Amert-
can Jew, like the ordinary American Chris
tian, would behave Just about as he be-
HAYES here, that is, behave as any good
citizen ought to behave; and where this is
the case 1t is wrong against which we are
entitled to protest to refuse him his passport

In Turkey our difficulties arise less from
the way in which our citizens are some
times treated than from the indignation in
evftably excited in seeing such fearful mis-
rule as has been witnessed both In Armenia
and Macedonia.
The Navy.
The strong arm of the-dovernment in en-
forcing respect for its just rights in inter-
national matters is the Navy Of the United
States. I most earnestly recommend that
there be no halt in the work of upbuilding
the American Navy. There is no more pa
triotic duty before us as people than to
keep the Navy adequate to the needs Of this
countrys position. We have undertaken
to build the Isthmian Canal. We have I'M
dertaken to secure for ourselves our Just
share In the trade Of the Orient. We have
undertaken to protect our citizens from i'm
proper treatment In foreign lands. We con-
tinue steadily to insist on the application
of the Monroe Doctrine to the Western
Hemisphere Unless our attitude In these
and all similar matters Is be a mere boast
full sham we cannot afford to abandon our
naval program. Our voice Is now potent
for peace, and Is so potent because we are
not afraid of war. But our protestations
upon behalf of peace would neither receive
nor deserve the slightest attention If we
were impotent to make them good

methods which prevail in the conduct of his
department
The Commissioners regret however their
inability to bring the force up to the nu-
merical strength allowed by law, VIZ, CSC
officers and subordinates. The average
number Of vacancies during the year was
20, due to the fact that the salary of $50
per month paid to privates of the first class
Is not a sufficient fnducement in city
where the demand for labor is great ana
where men of intelligence and capacity re-
ceive larger compensation in almost all
branches of work. When it is remembered
that policemen are required to pay for their
uniforms and are denied the enjoyment OF
Sundays, holidays and evenings, besides be-
ing exposed to danger and the inclemency
of the weather ii is not difficult to UNDER
stand the obstacles In securing recruits. In
view of this condition, the Commissioners
have proposed, in their annual estimates,
that officers of class 1 who have served for
five years or over shall be promoted to the
grade of class 2, the duties and require-
ments of the two classes being identical.
The Commissioners believe that this pro-
motion will be an incentive to active and
intelligent performance of work, and Will
also increase the membership of the force.
The present necessity is not legislation add
ing to the numerical strength, but a provi-
sion which, through increased financial in
ducement, will invite accessions to the
force and at the same time improve the
situation Of those who are at present there.

only demanded by the conditions which ex-
ist, but is indorsed by citizens associations
and other representative bodies Of the Dis
trict Advances are also recommended for
the few supervising officers of the force. In
order that their salaries may more nearly
equal the compensation paid in other cities
for similar service. and that they may be
better able to meet the cost of living and
the expenses Of equipment incident to their
positions. c
The regulation of public vehicles is o

the justification for our stay In the Philip

good we are able to do in the islands.
do not overlook the fact that In the devel-
onment of our interests in the Pacific Ocean
and along it's coasts, the Philippines have
PLAYED and will play an important part, and
that our interests have been served In more
than one way by the possession Of the Is

to hold them must be that we ought In
good faith to try to do our share Of the
worlds work. and this particular piece OF
work has been imposed upon US by the re-
suits of the war with Spain. The problem
presented to us in the Philippine Islands is
akin to, but not exactly like, the problems
presented to the other great civilized pow
ers which have possessions In the Orient.

any of these powers We are endeavoring to
develop the natives themselves so that they
shall take an ever-increasing share in their

we are already admitting their representa-
