Board of Assistant assessors
Seek New Legislation
for Purpose.
TOTAL OF $4,000
HELD FROM DISTRICT
Railroads Claim They Do Not Have
TO Pay on Property Held
in Fee Simple.

Owing to the refusal of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company and the
Washington Terminal Company TO pay
taxes on highways surrendered for their
use at the new Union Station, an en-
deavOr will be made at the coming ses-
sion Of Congress TO obtain Legislation
amending their charters 50 as 10 en-
force collection, according to an an
nouncement Of the Board OF Assistant
Assessors today.
Certain streets and highways we're
closed to the public under the act pro-
viding for the erection OF the improve
ment OF the terminal facilities in the
District. They became subject TO tax
alton through Section 9 of an act o.
Congress- approved February Is, 1903,
which read as follows:
Subject to Taxation.
THAT the property owned or occupied
by the Terminal Company, or by the
Washington, philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington Railroad Company, or
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, under authority Of this act,
or otherwise, together with the improve
ments that may be put thereon, shall be
subject to taxation in the District OF
Columbia, in the same manner and TO
the same extent as other property IN
the District, and all tracks and sidings
shall be taxed as real estate"
The value Of the property surrendered
to the Washington Terminal company
according to the assessments, IS &lO'SJi.
while a value of 81 30 Is placed upon
the land turned over 10 the Balunl0Ie
and Ohio Railroad Company. The
amount Of taxes for the last two years
is Approximately S25.000
Assessor Richards View.
in accordance with the above require
ments, all abandoned streets where Oc-
cupied or used by the Terminal Com
pany or the railroad companies, were
assessed and bills furnished for the
years 1903 and 1870" says Assessor
Richards. These assessments have
been paid so far as they AFFECT the
Baltimore. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
washington Railroad Company.
Payment has been neglected, how
ever. by the Terminal Company and
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, and in consequence the property
upon which the 1909 taxes were due and
unpaid was offered for sale in March,
1910. No one offered to bid in the prop
erty, so that IL seems likely that this
tax viii be difficult TO collect under
the present legal requirement.
Additional legislation viii be re-
quired to enforce the payment Of this
tax, which at present amounts to
$4,000 for the last two years. The con-
tentiOn is. according to Assessor Rich
ards. that the land Is not owned in fee
simple, and that taxes cannot be forced
upon property not in their name. The
assessor holds that the taxes are due
under the act which provides that
property owned or occupied by the
Terminal Company and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company shall be
taxed as real estate.

FIRST TRAIN RUNS ON
 NEW BUCKEYE ROAD
Nearly Fifty Passengers Make Initial
 Trip Into New Section.

With between forty and fifty passen- gers aboard, the first regular passenger train over the Phoenix Buckeye rail- road left this city yesterday morning shortly after s o'clock It was a mixed train consisting of seven freight cars and two coaches in charge of Conduc- tor Mackay and Engineer Newton. While the departure of this train from Phoenix into the Buckeye country and as far as the Hassayampa river, marks another epoch in the history Of rail- road building in the southwest and DOT tends important changes in the rail- road routing of the future, there was but a small crowd present at the Mar icopa x Phoenix depot at the hour of leaving.
 But down in the section where rail- road trains are q decided novelty and where men have been waiting long for the coming of the locomotive, there were many imprOmptu demonstrations of strictly informal character Farm CTS from the various ranches within miles of the new line laid aside their work long enough to reach vantage points and wave their hats as the train sped on.
 At Buckeye the citizens turned out en masse and welcomed the train as it pulled into town. There were also a goodly number of farmers at the pres cnt terminus of the road at the Hassa- yampa river. The trip was of necessi- ty somewhat prolonged because of the character of the train There were many delays while the crew loaded and unloaded the large quantity of freight which had been consigned to this train.
 The train returned to Phoenix about 7:SO o'clock. and all who had made the trip expressed themselves as more than pleased.
 one of the amusing as we'll as inter esting incidents of the trip occurred while the train was about seven miles below town. There was an uneXpect- ed delay and then the train began to move very slowly The passengers wondering at the snail-like pace put their heads out of windows and dis covered a curious condition of affairs.
 Across the bumpers of one of the freight cars had been placed 9 heavy steel rail extending some distance out from either side Attached 10 each tIlu oL liilS lstll NsiS tiil hi NiiiAiN li'N manned by four or five laborers and the train was furnishing the power to turn a furroW on eaither siGC of the track. In this manner was provided loose soil which will be used in bal lasting between the ties and as a surf ace dressing. Several expressed them selves as having witnessed a decided innovation. They had heard of blowing with everything from a bent stick to an auto gang blow. but it was the first time they had ever heard of blowing with a passenger train.
 A regular schedule will be followed daily upon the new line, a train leav- ing each morning at S:30 a. m, city time, arriving at Buckeye at 1925 and at the Hassayampa river at 1:30 o'clock A rate of cents per mile will be charged passengers.

THE RAIN-It was reported yes terday that the town of Roosevelt has enjoyed three-quarters of an inch of rain or thereabouts. It has rained heavily all the way between here and Roosevelt within the past week, and it has rained on the Verde watershed. In fact, it has rained almost every where except on the watershed Of the upper Salt river, and it is crowd ing that section very closely right now The rain at Roosevelt has no more effect on the reservoir than a rain here would. but if anything drops above that point it will be saved. And if the rain god expects to break any new ground this season he will have to invade the Salt river watershed pretty soon, for he has now showered everything else except few little desert patches here and there.

AMERICANS AS ART COLLECTORS

America has not yet developed any great school of art or produced q su- prene artist who can be ranked with the masters of the old world, but while it's energy has not been equal to very great achievements in the creative field. artistically speaking. it has dem onstrated rare acumen and discern ment in the collection of masterpieces. which, taken together, have been es- timated by competent authorities to represent value of twenty-five mil lions or dollars, this in private collec- tions, which with museum collections. valued at five million dollars, make the sum total of great paintings in this country represent a figure of thirty millions of dollars.
 An interesting fact to be noted in computing the value of pictures is that paintings by artists of the nine teenth century in private collections represent an expenditure of not less than fifty million dollars, a sum con stnatly increasing as time goes by.
 American collections are strongest in works of the Dutch school and of the French painters of the so-called Fon- tainbleau school. Few European coun- tries are so rich in Rembrandts or Frans IIalses, of which we possess sev- enty of the former and thirty-five of the latter. In the early French, Italian and Spanish schools Of the American collections. though still inferior. are constantly improving.
 The figures above quoted seem to represent great amount of money yet that they are not exaggerated is quite credible-Cincinnati Commercial | Tribune.

 The records show that Landrum dis appeared from Fortress Monroe Tn March and surrendered at the Brook . lyn recruiting station in April.
 When the news of his plight got out quickly among his friends, representa- tions were made to the war department that his cratic actions would tend to show that he was not responsible. The findings will be made public from Washington.

AFTER THE LECTURE.

The lecture was over and the gen tleman who did the talking strained his ears as he followed his audience out of the hall to gather in. so far as he could. what sort of an impression he had made. As he drew near the doorway two old gentlemen who were making their way out just ahead of him rendered a verdict.
 Well, ankside." said one of them, what did you think of it?"
 I've heard worse" said Bankside
 Did you think it was a tall illu- minating?" asked the other.
 Tn an old-fashioned way yes re- piled the venerable Bankside.
 T don't quite catch your point said the questioner.
 Why, it was Illuminating. but it struck me as having more gas than electricity about it,"explained the critic.-Judge's Library. .. .. .. ..

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York. July 25.-Reports of damage to the corn crop greatly dis turbed the financial district today.
 Great reliance had been placed on the success of the corn crop to make of the deficiency of spring wheat, and to redeem the agricultural re- turns for the year. The importance of a profitable crop was considered great since Hhe controllers report as to the years profits will be re- quired to repay the extensive bank ing credits throughout the country. The prospect that the hoped for bumper crop might be jeopardized put a new face on the financial pros set.
 StcN under selling pressure was one of several prominent stocks to fall to new low levels. Copper stocks showed effective resistance to the prevailing depression. Bonds were easy: sales $1.C99OOO. United States bonds were unchanged.
