The p. A. Y. z. Cars.

To the Editor of The Star:
Under the heading Local Street Car
Evils in The Evening Star of March II
j find the following statement: There
has been a good deal of discussion over
the 'pay-as-you-enter' cars, just intro
duced into Washington. Only one com
plant has been received by the commits
sion and that was anonymous.
To my surprise no protests concerning
these cars have appeared in The Star.
Certainly the air is full of them, for
have not found one person who approves
of the new "pay-as-you-enter'' cars. The
.'pay-as-you-enter' feature should be
combined with the large yellow cars on
18th street and the number of those cars
increased during the rush hours as to
give all passengers seats, or at least COM
Portable standing room, with a seat for
support.
Ii the company must run the new green
cars II should add on the front window
below pay-aS-you-enter" the following:
Fare cents. no transfers, no seats -
and act accordingly. The new green cars
should either be removed reseated cross
wise or the fare reduced.

Why Not a CitizenP

10 fSditoT OF ne star.
/ notice that 1t is proposed to appoint
another colored man from distant state
as recorder of deeds for the District. OF
all positions in the District that is the
last that should be given to an outsider,
either white or black. as the fees are paid
entirely by the owners OF property in the
DISTRICT. Not only do the fees pay the
salaries and all expenses. but they fur
nish large surplus. Years ago. when the
recorder received the fees they amounted
TO about S9,ND a year. and it was for
that reason that we induced Congress to
change 1t TO a salaried office. OF late
years the receipts must have largely in
creased. as the sales or transfers of prop
erty are many times now what they
were then.
For sixteen years that Office has been
given TO cOlored men from distant states
men who were in no manner identified
with the District or it's interests. who
owned no property and paid no taxes
here. and that, too. in open violation of
the pledges of both political parties. for
In their national conventions. time after
time. they both adopted a resolution that
all officials in the territories should be
citizens thereof. it being understood that
that Included the District. and in order to
leave no doubt on that point the demo-
following language:
We hold that the officials appointed to
administer the government of any terri
tory. together with the District Of Column
bia and Alaska, should be bona fide resi-
dents of the territory or District in which
their duties are to be performed.
III II be true. as We are assured il is.
that President Taft has adopted the policy
of appointing only such men as the ciu-
zens OF the states approve. | do not see
how he can, with any consistency. APP
point man. either white or colored. from
outside of the District as recorder of
deeds in this District. even though he may
be urged by a senator or others to do so.
As an old-time resident OF the District,
and as an original republican. I can as
sure him that We greatly prefer that who
ever is appointed shall be a resident of
the District. and hope and trust that
the President will crafty this desire.
Surely the wishes of the loyal and tax
paying citizens of the District ought to be
respected in this matter, II in no other.
