Of all this in America-that 1 am a kind Of

things, instead of an artist who understa nds
how to create pictures of truth In whatever

numbers of Americans both of me and my

1t fair or kind. and as I love Americans

Work Of Removing Piers Progressing

The work of removing the piers of the old

down to low water and two dredging ma

The demolition of the piers to the low
water mark was a comparatively easy job
AS fast as the stone was removed it was

is being used in the construction of a wall
about portion of the flats to be reclaimed
within the next three months. The removal
of the piers in the channel. where the wa

proved a much more di cult proposition
than was anticipated, but the difficulties are
being overcome and it is expected that
early In August the work of demolshng
the old bridge will be completed
The tearing down of the woodwork Of the
bridge was started In the early part or
March last and the contractors have had a

work since that time. In addition to NOV

formed the approach to the bridge on the
VIRGINIA shore is also being blown up and
removed so that the river tides can have

situation. which Congress permits to exist.
The example thereof to our citizens, to
the young folks of the District and to those
of the nation is bad, independent of the
fact that our local land owners and tax
payers are every year being called upon in
an unjust and un-American way to bear
more than their share of the national
burden.
The federal government has not acquired
all the land in the District of Columbia,
but 1t has acquired more than so per cent
of that portion within the old city limits
1t is constantly increasing federal hold
ings and refusing to pay a just share of
the expense of the Capital city, thereby
placing an unfair and unequal burden
upon $4,000 local land owners out of a
population of more than $4,000 people, for
the purpose of making the District of CO.
lumba all that it ought to be for the
benefit OF more than S0,0o0,0oo people.
Besides the matter of general taxation,
which has become excessive, Congress is
constantly directing special assessments
for parks, for opening streets and alleys,
all of which are said to be necessary for
the development and improvement of the
National capital; yet Congress has in many
instances refused to assume any part of
the cost thereof This matter Of special
taxation is also increasing every year and
fast becoming beyond endurance. In some
cases it has operated as contiscation of
private property for the public use and the
taking of private property without just
compensation.
Special assessments, like other evils, grow
rapidly. We may well say they ought not
to exist for they too often imposed
through fraud and injustice upon our peo-
pie. If any benefit acc-ues by reason of
public Improvement, otherwise, surely
the regular assessor will find 1t. If i'm
aginary and speculative, special benefits,
which may or may not accrue, are to be
assessed by a separate body, and the regu-
lar assessor is also to act, then we can see
at a glance that there exists two mediums
of taxation authorized by the government
for the same purpose upon the same prop
erty and because of the same public i'm

Special Taxation System.

The system Of special taxation, If general
taxation Is to continue to exist should be
forever abandoned. 1t simply means a
double system of taxation. Special assess
ments are levied because of supposed and
often speculative special benefits. 1t may
be we'll said that special benefits ought not
to be conferred, except as they may be
legitimately conferred by reason of the
making of general publ, improvements.
The government has no authority to make
special improvements for the benefit of
only a few individuals; its duty Is to make
general, public improvements for the bene-
At of the public, and the proper just and
fair way to pay for all public improvements
Is from a public treasury.
Answer to the question as to what form
of government should exist in the District
Of Columbia ought to be, and is very SIM
pie, unless we admit that the American
Idea Of government Is wrong; unless we are
afraid to trust the loyalty as well as the
patriotism of our people, prepared to say
that they are not capable Of governing
themselves, and unless we ignore the truth
of Patrick Henrys declaration that there
should be no taxation without representa-
ton"
The plain answer to the question as to a
suitable form Of government can be found
in the statement that we should establish
for Washington, under proper restrictions
with reference to voters, republican form
of government, thus allowing our people to
govern themselves, subject to the exclusive
control of Congress, as provided by the
Constitution, and as now exercised over the
territories.
Commissioners, If elected by the people
under proper restrictions, imposing a prop
erty, residential or educational qualifica-
ton upon those who may vote, would be no
less subject to the exclusive control Of
Congress than Commissioners who are ap--
pointed by the President

English Author Angry
Over American INTERVIEW
Special Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON, July 10. 1907.
-JJNOR Glyn, whose rather daring
II novel, Three Weeks" is attracting
- so much attention in this country, Is
considerably annoyed by an interview with
her recently published in the Hearst news
papers. She says that 1t contains several
serious Interpretations, and that the writer
has doubtless unintentionally distorted her
views in a fashion that is likely to do
serious injury to her standing in the United
States.
The subject of this interview was Mrs.
Gyms new book-which the headlines over
the article described as "a novel of very
free love'-and in the course OF 1t the def
mite impression was given that the views Of
the passionate Russian woman who serves
as Mrs. Glyn's latest heroine are also those
of the authoress herself. This Mrs. Glyn
declares is far from being the case. Again
the interviewer quoted her as stating that
few persons in whose judgment she had
confidence begged her not to publish her
book on the ground of its supposed Inn
morality-a statement which the author
characterizes as quite untrue
Mrs. Glyn, who also was described by the
American interviewer an "attacker or
law-bound emotions" is especially resentful
over being thus msrepresented lin the
United states, as she ~ W iidhe d WISH u

what I actually said to the author of
that interview" observed Mrs. Glyn, was
that the art of writing is to be able to put
oneself into ones work SO thoroughly that
one sees only from the heroines or hero's
point of view for the time. 1 explained that
were l writing of a nun, 1 would see the
nuns point of View-perhapS narrow and
ascetc-were / writing Of a poodle would
not make him have the feelings Of a bull
dog, but his own, whatever my personal
views were. And in the case of Three

TRUSTEES Of THE

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE WILL
WATCH THE COMING SESSION OF
THE LEGISLATURE.

The Trustees of the Chamber Of Com
merce met yesterday afternoon decided
to closely watch the legislative matters
coming before the next legislature. In
order to facilitate this work the COM
mittee on legislation and public works
was empowered to add to the commit
tee as they saw fit and to employ legal
advice 1t is not expected that the
chamber will have much to consider
during the coming session but it was
thought best to prepare for it.
A letter was received from Governor
Carter stating that all government en-
ployes who are members of the Ma
tional Guard have been granted a leave
of absence for five days on full pay
to attend the ancampment at Leilehua
The governor urged that members OF
the chamber grant their employees ia
the National Guard a like leave of abb
sence. A motion to that effect was
passed by the trustees.

otherwise would not have found lodge
