decided against her.
Colored citizens of the North need
expect no unusual consideration in
their travels to jamestown. The
State of Virginia has laws, wise or
unwise, and she will not abrogate
them because of a semi-festal occa-
sion. But inside the exposition
grounds things ought to be different.
The celebration is, in a sense, a
national one; the Federal Govern
ment is expected to contribute
largely TO it's success, and to dis
criminate against any citizen of this
country because of his color would
be highly improper and pretty near
ly illegal.
That no such discrimination will
be permitted is indicated by a state
ment of the governor of Virginia 70

colcred visitors at st. Louis would

This is about as far as any colored

Making a Model City.

Several years ago, under author
ity of a Senate resolution, the So
called Burnham commission went to
Europe and made an exhaustive
study of the beautiful cities of the
Continent, on which was based a
report setting forth a magnificent
scheme for making Washington the
worlds ideal Capital. The concIu-
sions and suggestions of the com
mission were embodied in a practi-
cal plan, published by the Govern
ment, and now being fulfilled with,
at least, all proper elaboration.
But 1t turns out that while Wash
ington is destined to realize from
this study slowly. the new San
Francisco may avail itself extensive
ly and promptly of the work of the
Burnham commission. Ness than
two years ago Burnham was en-
gagged by the authorities of that
city to do just what has been done

ganization and identifying the CITY

Fit the Theory TO the Facts.

The city of Washington is now,
theoretically, about half as large
as it is actually. It begins at the
river front, according to theory, and
ends with Florida avenue. In other
words, on paper. it has not yet out
grown the L'Enfant plan, while, in
fact, it spreads over as much ground
beyond the limits of that plan as is
encompassed within its limits.
Now, this theory of the size of
Washington is embodied into law.
Those of our people who live beyond
Florida avenue in Columbia Heights,
Holmead Manor, Kalorama Heights,
Connecticut Avenue Heights, Eek
ington, Bloomingdale, lie Droit Park,
and the extensions of the Northeast
are all in law, as well as theory,
residents of the county. That the
theory is utterly preposterous, that
those people are as much residents
of the city as their neighbors living
within a block of Tenth and +
streets, does not change the law.
According to our code, the city
stops at Florida avenue, and that's
the end of it.
Of course, the matter is largely
sentimental But it is not exclusive
~ so. Important details of admins
tration are affected by this theory.
Overhead wires constitute one of
those details-and there are many
others. That conduits should sup
plant wires strung from telegraph
poles in Columbia Heights is as
incontrovertible. as the proposition
that corresponding wires should be
buried downtown. Yet il is clear
that extending the city limits to the
boundaries of the District without
careful provision covering the ex-
tension of such laws as the under
ground wire regulations, would be
at once unnecessary and unjust.
Columbia Heights may and does
need its wires buried, but not Grant
road.
So Commissioner mcfarland does
well to state the proposition to Wild
en- the city limits and then go slow.
Possibly he Will find it enough to
extend all the city restrictions as
far as the fire limits Possibly 1T
viii not be wise to go even that far.
But it is beyond all question that
the city does not end now with
Florida avenue, and that the law
should be adjusted as nearly as pos
si5le to the city's actual size.

Some New Phases.

That opponents Of rate legislation
have deliberately made the debate in
the Senate turn on a non-essentiaI-
the question of court review-to the
exclusion from reasonable considera-
ton of the tremendous abuses and
dangers of transportation questions.
was the charge with which Senator
La Toilette opened the remarkable
speech on this question, which is
now published entire in the Congress
sional Record.
The address covered a wider range
than any other that the great de-
bate has elected Tt viii stand in
the history of this great debate
alongside that of Bailey a few DAYS
ago; Bailey's, as the conclusive ex-
position of the great legal question
that this discussion has raised, and
La Follette's as the comprehensive
elucidation of the general phases of
the transportation question.
Thus on the question of stock-wa-
tering, Senator La Toilette gave the
results of study covering years; a
study that resulted in revolutionizing
railroad taxation methods in his own
State, and that has started agitation
for like revolution in other States.
He favored having a scientific study
made Of the value of the railroads of
the entire country. as that alone
would furnish a basis on Which TO
determine a reasonable rate. The an
praisal of railroad properties in
Wisconsin brought out startling evil
dence of the water in the capitaIiza-
ton. Thus the engineers of the Wis
consin Central appraised its property
at S19,93O per mile; the State board
increased this to 500. I'll per mile: and
the capitalization of the property at
that very time, on which 1t was earn
ing dividends, was SIS, 275 per mile
That is, for purposes of taxation the
railroad found its property worth lust
about one-third as much as il was
for purposes of capitalization and
notwithstanding. The case is prob
ably extreme, but it is different only
in degree from every other railroads
situation
The Senator did not find much to
commend in the Dolliver-Hepburn
bill. 1t merely patched up the blum
ders of the law of 1857. With his spe-
cial knowledge of the subject and an
The Washington times., 1906-04-29

increasing realization of its serious
ness, the Senator insisted that the
country ought to be ready to go
much farther toward a real solution
than 1t was in 1887. He pointed out
what he regarded as the weakness OF
the pending bill. and expressed the
hope-almost certainly a vain hope
that they would be remedied by
amendments.
Senator La Follette's speech will
probably have small effect on the
legislation pending, but It marks out
the path which railroad legislation of
the future may be expected to travel,
and on which its journey will be
long. before 1t accomplishes its good
and perfect work.
