Two Phases of District Taxation,


An important and interesting de-
bate ON taxation in the District of
Columbia occurred yesterday in the
House. Citizens of the Capital will
do well 70 yead il all. not in the alb
hreviated form in which the news
papers are compelled to present it,
but as it appears in the Congression-
al Record. For the House SubcOm-
mittee on Appropriations for the Dis
trict of Columbia, being composed
with one exception of men new to
the task of framing a District appro-
priation bill, found it necessary to
examine into the whole problem Of
our finances, and the fruits of that
action are outlined in speech by
Representative GiIlett of Massachu-
setts.
Owners Of property in Washington
should pay particular attention TO his
TWO propOsitiOns-that the amount
collected from taxes IN Washington
IS disproportionate to the amount of
property privately owned and should
be decidedly increased. and that the
residential and business portions Of
Washington "are so far exceeding in
growth the national portion. that in
Il few years the same half-and-half
division will not be fair
and undoubtedly will be changed"
Mr., Gflett's calculation is that the
present tax Of SIS on each $1,000 val
uation, the latter figure representing
only two-thirds of the market valua-
ton, amounts in fact to only $40 per
81 600 of actual valuation, and that
that rate is far too low. In his
judgment 1t is even producing the
natural tendency to make Washing
ton a paradise for persons who wish
10 evade taxes" They pay no per-
sonal tax he says, except upon
their household effects, and then pay
only $40 a thousand upon the real
value of their estate. That is far less
than is paid IN most Of the common
wealths of this country"
The other proposition should be
given in full. 1t is this:
The Government now Is paying one
half OF the expenses. j do not suppose
that viii always remain true. / do not
think il ought always TO remain true,
because, although We all recognize that
this being the National Capital we wish
that ii should be made model city and
We are willing that the Government
should contribute toward that end vet
! think we recognize. too. that WaSn-
ington IS growing so fast and that the
residential AID business portions are so
far exceeding in growth the national
portion, that in n few years the same
half-and-haif division. which may have
been fair years ago and may be fair
TODAY win not be fair and undoubtedly
viii be changed
More and accurate information is
needed before the first contention
can be discussed. It will not serve
10 cite tax rates elsewhere. Those
rates must be considered with rela-
ton 70 actual values. Nor does il

What Free Alcohol Will Do.

i reader who seems very much in

MORALS OF PUBLIC AND

Interesting Topic Discussed Before the Congregational

A Little Too Advanced.

If Maxim Gorky believed that his
socialistic creed was sufficient cloak
to cover his bringing to America
with him, in the role Of a wife, an
actress to whom ne Is not married, he
is doubtless undeceived by this time.
The people OF this country, and es-
pecially that portion of it that has
been ready to welcome him warmly
as man of letters, are not fond Of
this sort OF semi-marital arrange
ments They know that Cork has
wiEe in Russia from whom he is
not divorced, which makes the mat
ter worse.
Gorky's defense OF his course is
wholly unconvincing hereabouts.
Mime Pieshkoff," said he, lis my
wife No law that was ever devised
or made by man can make her more
so than she is now. Never was union
between man and woman more holy
and moral than that OF Nine Piesh-
koff and myself"
But the fact remains that the nov
elist has not been married TO the
lady in either OF the ways deemed
necessary in polite society. To OBJ
ject to the Gorky method may seem
Pecksniffian to the upholders of his
beliefs, but even the mocking George
Bernard Shaw so far yielded to con-
vention as TO wed the lady of his
choice in a regulation way. And
here in America we are still purI-
tanical enough to stick TO the ancient
custom that has been proven to be
the best yet devised for man and
woman. One Gorky can scarcely
wean us from our beliefs.
II is obvious that the able Russian
has badly injured his cause by this
seemingly needless afrOnt to the con-
ventiOns. Already useful doors have
been shut against him and powerful
supporters have announced their
withdrawal The whole thing is a
serious tactical mistake on the part
Of a man whose avowed mission is
that of reform.
