The Tax Curse and It's Causes

The Tax Curse and It's Cause"
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
While the increase in the local tax
rate will not be as large as anticipated
it is large enough, two points not neing
anv too small. That means just so
much more cash out of the pocket Oh
the taxpayer on the one hand and prob
ably a raise of rem for h rent-payer,
because the landlords usually uses the
fact of an increase in the tax rate as a
lever to increase the rent. AS a matter
of fact the landlord is often driven TO
do this because of the increased Dur
dens upon mis- property, which he must
keep up or go under.
What 1 want to get at is that II
strikes me that even these two polnts
could have been saved If there mad
been more economy in the administra-
ton of public affairs. / refer more
specifically to county matters, WITT
which l am somewhat familiar. Fol
instance, in the upholding of the courts
of Justice and the paths that lead TO IL
like the prosecutors office, an analysis
of the expenditures will show some
truly startling figures.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The mandolin should not be mem
toned in the same breath with the
banjo. The guitar is In a class by it
self.
The banjo is not adapted to concerts.
It's modest, plaintive tones are lost in a
theatre or concert hall. Rude COM
mercial hands have dragged it forth
from the Southern cabin n into the
glare of the footlights and the biare
Of brass orchestras. They have made
its rim of German silver, its neck OF
mahogany, and its fingerboard of nom
descript "ebonized'' wood. Even the
old, inconvenient slip pegs have been
replaced by patent affairs of nickel
plated metal. Wire strings have been
installed, and some barbarian vaude-
Williams ever play it with a mandolin
pick, and all for the sake of mere noise.
While experiment has disproved the
old negroes assertion that a pelioan's
pouch properly cured makes the best
head, given a banjo with a good maple
| rim, the right kind of a neck, a snow

strings and a well-seasoned maple

edge of soils, plants and animals, and
the business merits the same respect
accorded special knowledge to profess
sional and manufacturing lines. If
the dignity as well as h profits OF
the agricultural calling were generally
recognized, more of the young men on
the farms would remain there to win
honored success and city men would be
attracted to them.
The city press could render great
assistance to this end, but instead the
business is held up to ridicule and the
agriculturist made the butt of ignor-
ant wit. The renowned lawyer, the
eminent doctor or the merchant prince
is compared with an unsuccessful far
mer as typical of all.
Newspaper writer's could assist in in
creasing the food supply by placing
modern agriculture in it's true ligh'
and recognizing the farmer as the sue
cessful business man he is, and artists
would do well to remember that hi

EVENTS AT II HAMILTON CLUB BANQUET.

erN ERHAPS the most remarkable incident in the extraordinary
Id Western trip of Theodore Roosevelt was the banquet OF the
Hamilton Club in Chicago last night. Roosevelt had sent
word TO the club that if United States Senator LorimeI, the man
with te tainted credentials, was to be present he, RooseVen, would
he a missing guest. And Lorimer did not Haunt MS senatofshlp
at the banquet. But there sat at the banquet board Speaker can
non and former Vice President Fairbanks, extreme types OF the
sreactionary and devoted adherents of the special interests thatI
Roosevelt had mathematical in nearly all his speeches and whch
he is making war upon. 1t was a mixed assemblage that Roosevelt
faced when he spoke, and he had the floor to himself. Outside the
hall great crowds were handled with difficulty by the
police. But the most striking feature of the affair, and the one
that cannot fail to make a deep and lasting impression, was the
exclusion from the banquet hall by Roosevelts peremptory demand
of a United States senator whose election was procured by pur
chase of members of the Illinois Legislature. That act appeals
powerfully to the conscience of the whole nation.

High Intelligence of Ghetto.


To the Editor of the Evening star:
The plan of the management Of the
New Theatre, in New York, to permit
the people of the East Side to witness
the best plays at an admission price of
from ten to fifty cents is proof positive
tina the intelligence as we'll as he
poverty of the ghetto is being appreci-
ated. Those who are now crittcising
the plan and are saying that the East
Siders will not take advantage of the
opportunity of seeing good plays at
prices they can afford to pay will be
surprised when the idea goes into effect.
1t has long been known that the East
Side reads the very best literature and
that there are fewer calls in the
libraries down there for light fiction
than there are in the Weather neigh
borhoods. 1t stands to reason that those
who read good books will also want to
see good plays, and the East Side will
prove to it's critics that although 1t Is
poor 1t is neither ignorant nor mar
tistic. GHETTO.

caricaturing the Farmer.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
"A nation that means to preserve its
prosperity must make sure that its
food supply is adequate. To reverse
our movement toward food scarcity and
permanent high prices is the item of
the conservation program more i'm
portant to us than all the others COM
bined." So said James j. Hill in a
paper opening the Portland (Ore.) fair.

a PUBLIC UTILITIES PIG IN A POKE.

cTa HE Commuters League has labored zealously to procure from
candidates for the Legislature pledges in regard to a puohcI
utilities bill, but, it appears, with indifferent success. Out
of 90 letters of inquiry sent to candidates for the legislative noml
nations ONLY 10 were replied TO up TO date, and OF these rephes
there is none from Republican Regular candidates. All that nave
been received are from Progressive Republicans and Democrats
The theory of the non-committal candidates evidently IS that when
was recently enunciated for the senatorial election, namely, that the
first duty was to elect a Legislature, leaving that body to decide
all such questions. and, Furthermore, that the injection OF the ques
tion into the primary is calculated to endanger party success. And
vet il seems to be the same old practise of selling and buying a pig
in a poke.

HEIGHT IN AVIATION

oTra HERE is a limit to the height a balloon or aeroplane can
reach. By repeated efforts the aeropane has been carried
TO the record height of $3.50 feet. That feat was accom-,
phshed yesterday by an aviator in France. But although the
aviator suffered severely from the high altitude, he did not APP
proach the limit. If mountains $4,000 feet in height have been
scaled by human beings, an aviator should be enabled to reach the
same altitude, with enough power to support his machine in the
attenuated atmosphere of the higher regions he is enabled to reach.

university experts rule against the
