Making II Go.

The Texas League seems 20 be
making its salary reduction go
While there are n few holdouts, there
are fewer than had been expected.
Several PLAYERS who thought they
ought to get more money when first

others of the holdouts are getting

On the 100 Per Cent Basis.

II Is unfair and misleading to score the
Washington assessment and taxation
system on the basis Of absolute and ex-
elusive statistics, without reference to the
conditions that prevail elsewhere. The
question which the House subcommittee
has ostensibly undertaken to answer is
this: Is District property underassessed
for taxation purposes? 1t has presented
an answer that on its face condemns the
assessment system as unequal and made
quate. that creates the impression that
the average Washingtonian is under
taxed and that the District tax system is
not productive of proper amount of
money for municipals maintenance pur-
poses. The fact are quite different The
average Washingtonian is taxed as heav-
lily as the average citizen of other cities
of comparable size, more heavily than
some. and the total of tax revenues is by
no means light in comparison with those
raised elsewhere.
For proof Of these assertions, which
have been advanced heretofore and have
census reports that give the municipal
finance statistics for 19O5-6-7. the latest
obtainable on this subject. In order to
institute an instructive comparison it is
necessary TO raise all assessments TO the
100 Per cent point, that to which the
House subcommittee wishes the District
assessments raised On this basis the

poses in 1905 in the fourteen cities which
cons titute the group with which it Is pcs

Uncle Sam and Income Tax.
From the PHILADELPHIA Evening Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
1t is rather a novel experience for Uncle
Sam to be compelled to disgorge $1,000
collected as tax under the law imposing
such levy on the income of corporations
from New Jersey life insurance COM
pany- Preparing to transfer it to the
Treasury the department was halted by
the United States circuit court. AS the
government cannot be sued, the question
naturally arises how the insurance COM
pany managed to get the better of it in
a court of justice. In this case the fed
eral power agreed to submit the question
as to what constituted the net income of
a life insurance company to the judgment
of the circuit court, and the court de-
cided in a way that made the govern
ments previous collection of the tax il
legal, which,, of course, obligates return
of the sum. thing it is not in the habit
of doing. The government has shown in
the past that it is so far above state
regulations, codes and restrictions when
1t comes to. the business Of collecting
money considered federal revenue that
even the terror inspired by ways Of legal
procedure in the state of Carteret would
not unravel the riddle. The public Will
doubtless have to be satisfied with the
belief that the government was in an
amiable mood when it decided to let the
question be submitted to it's circuit court
and there met with a reverse.

Campaign Contributions.

In the matter OF campaign contribu-
lions the individual record" so far dis
closed is held by August Belmont. Ac-
cording to his own confession, he gave
quarter Of a million dollars to the Parker
fund in 1904
That sum was ten thousand dollars
less than the famous Hartman contribu-
ton to the Roosevelt fund. but the Harri-
man sum was made up by half dozen
rich men. 1t was twice as large as the
amount Mr.. Penrose says was contrib
uted by the Standard Oil Company to
the Roosevelt fund, and would not have
been eclipsed for size had the Standard
Oil Company come across" with the
additional amount Mr.. Penrose says was
requested.
Mr.. Belmont frankly explained his case.
He was democrat, and had always
taken a deep interest in his party's well
fare. He had assisted in the nomination
of Judge Parker. and earnestly desired
his election. He was on duty in the New
York headquarters. and big bills were
being contracted. They had to be met,
and when they were presented. there
being no other source Of supply, he met
them
Candid. and. the investigating commit
tee seemed to think. satisfactory. A rich
man. with warm party blood in his veins,
had seen his party through in a pinch.
In way. 1t Is true, Mr.. Belmont stood
to benefit in the event Of Judge Parker's
election. Not in an appointment to Office
probably. because his ambition has never
turned in that direction. But as an un-
official adviser o. the administration he
would have had opportunity to present
the eastern view Of questions as they
came up. A capable and alert unofficial
adviser sometimes exercises more influ-
ence at the White House than an adviser
in regular commission.
From Mr.. Belmonts admission, from
Mr.. Penrose's charges. ana from other
sources, one gets an idea both of how
much is necessary to run a national cam
paign, and how the money is raised
Canvassing the United States Of America
is huge job. Expenses are very heavy,
and when a campaign manager needs
money he needs it as badly as the Texan
in certain circumstances is said to need
a pistol.
The old saw adjures us to strike while
the irons hot The political manager
strikes where the stuff" is. Sometimes
the touch" falls upon an individual Some
times IL descends upon d collection of indi-
viduals. With tongues in cheek the poll
ticians have barred the trusts and the
ordinary corporations. But with them
barred. there are cakes and ale in plenty.
Subscribing to campaign funds? Every
body has been doing 1T for generations,
and, what is more, everybody dom it
now There are few tightwads when a
campaign gets really warm.

pu1ilist was arrested in London on
warrant issued by Belgian authoritaoA
charging him with theft of jewels at
hotel in Ostend. Selby. though a profess
sional boxer at one time. had never be-
fore been accused Of crookedness. and the
charge was astonishing to the American
public. He was hailed to court and re
manded" under bond for further hearing
and the production Of evidence from Bel

remanded. and finally yesterday. nearly
one month after his arrest. he was dis
charged with the apologies of the court.
the Belgian case having proved utterly
baseless. The London court was. Of
course. acting with extreme difference to
long under bond. but 1t would seem that
this was rather too extended period or
politeness when mans liberty was in
volved and while his name was being
banded about the world as that of a sus-
pected thief. Belgium is within few
hours Of London. and in ordinary circum-
stances three or four days would have
sufficed to set all doubts at rest. But 1t
was characteristic of British justice that.
while fleet in matters affecting the domes-
Tic criminal, IL moved In THIS lnleIHdtioiisii
case with a elaboration that now brings
it seriously into disrepute. Selby is
naturally indignant. not only at his arrest
on an unfounded charge. but his long de-
tention under bond, virtually accused for
a month of a crime of which he was alb
solutely innocent One naturally recol-
lects in this connection the extreme de-
liberation with which the request Of the
United States upon the Canadian gov
eminent for the extradition of Greene and
Gaynor, wanted here for criminal con-
spiracy in the execution of certain public
works, was treated by the dominion au-
thorities This case was dragged out for
two years before the plain requirements
Of the treaties in the case were complied
with by Canada, and then only after di-
rect protest to the British privy council

tried and convicted and punished. Selby.

Thus In 1907 Washington's assessments,
on this basis. were again greater than
those of all the other cities of the group,
save Buffalo alone and lie difference
between Washington and Buffalo, both
cities advancing. had been reduced TO
$.S0o.OO0 Again. it appears that the
Washington realty was then BY no means
underassessed. or the average Washing
touian property owner undertaxed.
These figures show what would happen
II Washington's real property were as
sessed At the full value proposed by the
House subcommittee. Under this system
Washington would be- one OF the most
heavily assessed cities in the country
more heavily rated for taxation purposes
than all but one OF the large, growing
industry supported communities OF a size
II there were any proposition to lower
the tax rate to accompany this increase
In tho assessment there would be less
reason TO protest. But here is plan to
bring all valuations for taxation purposes
UP TO the 100 per cent mark. which. by
the way. Is practiced by very few Ameri-
can cities. and then to leave open the
tax rate TO meet the requirements Of
the budget" In other words. to force
Washington to pay every dollar OF its
municipal expenses. despite the fact that
the government is formally. morally and
equitaoly obligated to bear half the cost
OF maintaining the capital city. One of
two things would happen in such a case.
Either under the half-and-haif basis
more money would be raised than could
be properly spent on municipal needs. or
the alf-and- half basis would be aban-
doned and the whole cost thrown upon
the District. 1t requires no special acute
ness of perception 10 foresee which of
these two results would come.

British Land.
From the New York Evening Post.

Z TON the view hOTk Evening EOSt
A radical paper in London has a
grievance because Harry Payne Whit
ney has leased the Holwich grouse
moors from the Earl of Strathmore.
Whether the grievance is against Mr..
Whitney, or against Lord Strathmore,
or against both. is not quite clear. but
the burden of the complaint is that if
land is worth $4,000 to an American
millionaire for few days shooting, 1t
could be made to produce comfortable
livelihood for British agriculturists if
they were allowed to settle on it. OF
course, this is a convenient stick with
which to belabor British aristocrats and
American millionaires lever a con-
genial occupation) at one stroke. but,
so far as our own acquaintance with
grouse moors goes. it indicates that the
usual habitat of the grouse is on bar
rem land which provides at the best
but scant pasture for sheep. BY no
possibility could 1t be converted to
agricultural purposes That being so, a
patriotic British journal should. one
would have thought. be grateful to an
American millionaire with such an en-
thusiasm for sport as to be willing to
spend $4,000 on 1t in a foreign coun-
try.
