CHICAGO, Sept 22.-There was real

"Commoner's" barking back in his
speech yesterday to the cry of anti
Imperialism and the general impress
sion that the Republicans have bene-
fitted by the recent Hearst expose of
the ramifications of the Stanard OILS

Probably the one feature most to

a good portion Of his time between
this and election to an attack on Pres

TAXATION FOR
THE SCHOOLS
New Plan Discussed by the
County Superintendent
Last Night

A new system Of taxation for school
purposes was discussed by Professor A.
r. Spaid, county superintendent Of
schools, az a meeting of the Holly Oak
Public Service Association last night in
the rooms OF J. Allen Colby.
Under the present law live stock Is
taxed for school purposes on It's real
value, and the real estate Is taxed on
its rental value. It's the idea Of pro-
fessor spaid TO have the school tax come
under the head OF the other county taxes
and distributed 20 tho school districts
through the county treasurer and tho
school commissioners according to the
assessment. Under this plan. according
~, real estate would OF be assessed for
school purposes on it's rental value. but
on its real value, just as It is for county
purposes.
Professor Snaid also favors an Increase
IN the capitation tax for school purposes
so that all would bear a proportion of
school expenses. Mr.. spaid believesthat
the system Of school taxation In Della
ware is antiquated, and he desires TO
see the system adopted that prevails in
nearly all the other States.
Il Is the purpose OF the Holly Oak As
ISOLATION to interest residents in Bran
dywlno hundred in change of the
school taxation system so that n request
to the next LEGISLATURE for change
may have a strong backing. Conferences
with tho nther Improvement associa.
tions OF asst Brandywine hundred are
planned.

TAFT OPPOSED
TO FORAKER

OYSTER, BAY. Sept. 22-Though Presl-
dent Roosevelt is sticking to his an
nounced intention not to go on the stump
in the present Presidential campaign he is
not at loss for ways to get his views
about his candidate before the people. The
seevral letters which he has written to
friends and then given to the newspapers
were followed yesterday by a state
ment' which has for its text the Foraker
incident.
The principal Ssature of the statement
is letter which Mir. Taft wrote to a
friend in Ohio in July. 1907. declaring that
he would not stand for a compromise
resolution Of the State central commit
tee which should include an Endorsement
of himself for the Presidency and Senator
Foraker for the senatorship. In the letter
Taft denounces Foraker for his opposi-
tio nto Administration policies and says
that in making his stand against the Sen
ator it was not a question Of personal
feeling, but question of political prin-
ciple.
In commenting on Senator Foraker's at
titude toward administration policies
President Roosevelt says that it has been
that Of certain other public men, notably
Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma, with the
difference that Haskell stands high in the
counsels of Mr.. Bryan and is treasurer of
his national campaign committee, while
Senator Foreaker represents only the
forces which in embitered fashion fought
the nomination of Mr.. Taft and which
we're definitely deprived Of power within
the Republican party when Mr.. Taft was
nominated"

"OUIT PAVING
BACK ALLEYS"
So Demands John G. Gray
Wants Street Department
Out of Politics

The paving OF obscure streets to the
neglect Of the citys principal thorough
fares was denounced by John G. Gray,
Street and Sewer director. at the direc-
tors meeting this morning as playing
politics." Mr.. Gray's remarks followed
a discussion Of repairs being made in
Delaware avenue, which Mr.. Gray did
not think proportionate to the import
ance OF the avenue.
This paving of Wilson street. DUPONT
street. Elizabeth street and back alleys,
this playing in politics makes me sick"
he said with vigor. 81 don't want to
see this board trucking in Politics so
that some people may be reelected TO
Council. If a mans not better than that
he ought not be reelected to Council.
That's not the right kind of public spirit
It's an outrage to leave a street like
Delaware avenue in such condition so
that councilmen may please their con-
stituents. l don't care whether they are
Democrats or Republicans. / won't put
up with playing politics in this board
for a minute"
Mr. Gray's complaint was actuated by
the fact that nearly all summer the
street department has been paving
streets in the least attractive. and un-
frequented parts Of the city. Several OF
the streets which have been paved with
bitulithic or asphalt are really little
more than back alleys. No effort has
been made until lately to improve streets
on the west side. which are most IN
need of repair or paving.
The department has assumed the pol
lev on the score that il desires TO cater
to the poor man"

To meet the competition of the City

wharf. the Peoples Railway Company,
through General Manager Crook. ask
ed the Street and Sewer Directors this
morning for a franchise to extend its
tracks now ending at Fourth and
Church streets. down fourth street to
the wharf parallel to the tracks of the

DotbtfD that there was not an net
of Legislature prohibiting the placing
of the tracks Of competing railway
companies on one street, the directors
referred the request 70 the city solicitor
for an oDinion.
SOME time ago the Peoples Railway
Company was granted a franchise to
extend its track from Seventh and
Church streets to Fourth and Chur n
streets. This was the nearest point
the railway could get to the wharf. The
City Railway. however, havipg the
franchise down Fourth street, exetnd-
ed its tracks directly to the wharf
As result of these efforts of the
railway companies to get the steam
boat passengers traffic from Philadel-
phia and Chester. a lively rivalry has
developed.
Each company during the summer
stationed barkers at the wharf who
directed passengers to the green" or
yellow cars. The City Railway Com
panv had the advantage as being
directly at he wharf. and the request
by the PEOPLES Railway this morning
is intended to place the companies on
an edual footing at the wharf next
summer.
1t is believed however. that a Legls-
lative act will prevent the pdacing OF
the People's Railway racks on the
same street with the competing COM
pany. and the directors win act accord

Comptroller Murray Tells
How Best to Detect Bank
Irregularities
POINTS OUT THE PITFALLS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 22-The Ma
tional bank examiners who were so
severely scored yesterday by Comp
troller of the Currency Murray showed
signs Of agitation to-day when they as
sembled at the Treasury Department
for their second day'c lesson on how
To best detect bank Irregularities. The
stern. but smooth features Of the
comptroller were in strorg contrast to
the furrowed brows before him. His
demand that they should do better
work or resign had made an unpleasant
but deep impression upon them.
The COMPTROLLER to-day laid particu~
larly stress upon what constitutes
bank insolvency. He declared that
many examiners confused impairment
of capital with insolvency, and this lack
of knowledge frequently made It necesv
sarv for the Office to require a fuh
statement of the banks condition be-
fore acting upon the suggestion OF the
examiner. "A bank is not insolvent.
said the comptroller. until its entire
capital. surplus and undivided profits
are absorbed by losses and its remain
ing assets are insufficient TO cover its
liabilities to depositcrs and other
creditors exclusive Of capital stock

ed for examiners. Mr.. Murray caution
ed them to beware of frauds when they
were compelled to use any part Of the
clerical force of bank 20 assist in IN
examination. Murray further told
them that the unsuspecting adding
machine should be carefully inspected,

wherein the machines had been adroit'
