Aviation for Home Comers.

An aviation meet in connection with
homecoming week next October would
provide thrilling entertainment for the
stay-at-homes and home-coners If salts
factory terms could be made with the
bird men. who. by the way, seem some
times to have something of the hawk in
their makeup. The Star in it's news coll
umns last evening gave an account of GER
tain proposals made to the Aero Club of
Washington looking to the holding here
Of an aviation spectacle. 1t was also re-
ported that the officers of the club "are
not inclined to treat any of the offers
seriously. as aviators at present hold
themselves at a high price," and that
the officials think that before the meet is
held here aviators will command about
the same prices as automobile race

The Republican Factions.

The Governor of West Virginia Is
quoted for remark with reference to
has application elsewhere. He tells his
party-he Is a republican-that unless
fractional fighting ceases 1t cannot win in
this years contests. This is as true in
New York, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa-all
republican states with the party united
as In West Virginia. When will the
bugles sing truce? Unless they do; ii
the fighting goes on, even democracy

Mr.. Bailey and the Insurgents.

Senator Bailey went over to Newark
Wednesday. and that night gave an au-
dience of Jersey democrats a talk about
politics He adjured them to get busy
and restore the state to the ranks Of
the old party. He painted the early fu-
ture a rose color. The tide having turned,
the democrats should take it promptly.
Mr.. Bailey believes-and so told his
Jersey friends-that the insurgent re-
publicans should cast their lot now with
the democrats. He thinks they should be
as courageous and as consistent as the in
surgent democrats Of 1906. who went over
to the republicans like men," Yes, those
democrats were courageous and consist
emit. but there were some good and able
men who differing with their party that
year did not leave it. They held to their
allegiance. and did not suffer as the re-
suit Of their course.
One of them was an able young man
residing in Texas. and giving promise of

the conservation question as affected by

The tariff did not attract Mr.. Roosevelt
while he was in office. He glanced at 1t
once, but only for moment, He did not
take It up. He probably knows little
about it. Mr. Root voted for the Payne
bill. and while he has not been prominent
in the discussion since the bill l.came a
law, he holds with the President that the
law, in the main. is good one, ana
should have a trial He is likely to take
that position with Mr.. Roosevelt.
In the other matter Mr.. Root Is fully
informed. AS a member of the investi-
eating committee he has heard both sides
The investigation is closing, ana Mr..
Roots opinion is undoubtedly made up.

and has agreed with Gov. Hughes on all

weigh much in the naming of ticket

preference as to a candidate for govern
or, but he knows the men of most proml-
nence in his party and may have one.
And We may all be sure that whatever
he says to Mr.. Roosevelt on New York
affairs will be carefully considered by the
latter.

qualities.
Usually Americans tax themselves for
specific purposes, in the way most easily
horne by them, with an accurate adjust
ment of rate and assessment to raise as
nearly possible the exact amount re-
aIired. Here the necessary tax total I'M
der the law is one-half of the amount that
Congress is willing to authorize to be eX-
pended each year on the National Cap
ital Washington is accustomed to raise
this amount by heavy realty tax under
an assessment much higher than that Of
the average American city. and by COM
paratively light personal tax.
This method of taxation imposes net
burden of tax levy upon the Washing
tonian heavier than that imposed upon the
vas. ajority of American cities, and at
least as heavy as that of the average
American city approximatng Washington
In population; and this tax system raises
the amount OF revenue which is and will
be required from the local taxpayers I'M

discuss an increase of the comparatively
light personal tax burden, for instance,
unless Il corresponding reduction is pro-
vt ed in the excessively high real estate
tax burden? Why suggest that the per-

tangible personal property, if the local
taxpayers prefer that the revenues be
raised from realty and tangible personal
property taxes instead, on the theory
that these taxes are the fairest. the most
uniform, the most easily and accurately
ascertained, and the most readily collected
OF any that could be imposed? Why pro-
pose an unnecessary inheritance tax? Why
should not Congress. the constitutienally
chosen local legislature of Washington,
act as faithful and sympathetic repre-
sentatives of these people. whose interests
are intrtsted exclusively to their legisla-
tive protection, and devise and put in
