Motor Reciprocity.

No great amount of sympathy can be
felt here for the Maryland motorists who
are 50 vigorouslT protesting against the
enforcement of the automobile license law
by the District Commissioners on the
ground that the collection of the tax from
Marylanders who wish TO use motor cars
in the District of Columbia is discrim-
ination against them. They admit that
il would be advantageous TO both sides
If this reciprocity were maintained be-
tween the two jurisdictions, the District
license being recognized in Maryland and
the Maryland license here, but they aver
that their own desires TO this end are
thwarted by the legislators, who take the
ground that the users of the state roads
should Fay in part for their upkeep, and
that the District motorists. being large
users of the Maryland roads, should
bear their share of this cost So the
Maryland motorists declare that they are
being visited with the sins OF the state
lawmakers by being compelled to pay a
tax for running their cars into the Dis
trict. Their logic is entertaining if not
convincing. 1t is true that the District
does not apply the automobile tax money
specifically to the upkeep of the streets
and roads, but turns 1t into the general
fund from which all the municipal ex-
penses are met. This does not render
II less incumbent on the Commissioners
to collect motor taxes from the Maryland.
Virginia or other motorists who wish tn
enter this jurisdiction. 1t is rather diff
ficult to see just what the proposition of
the Maryland automobile owners is i'm this
connection. Do they expect freedom OF
tho streets of Washington uitbou< ~, ~
ing any taxes or license fees whatever.

The Recognition Of China.

The United States. having been the first
of the great world powers to recognize
the republic of China. is in a position OF
prestige with that country. despite the
fact that it is not designing to participate
in the International loan. 1t sets the
pace for the powers by thus formally de-
claring China sufficiently organized to en-
ter the family of nations under its new
system of administration. and this rec
IGNITION cannot fail to increase American
influence at Peking.
Much depends. as regards the future OF
China, upon the character of the gov
ernmental advisers at the Chinese CAPT
tai. That men will be brought to Peking
from outside of China to assist in the adj
ministration of affairs seems assured
Particularly is it essential that the Chi
nese government be given the advice OF
an intelligent, conscientious, honest for
eigner in the matter of the finances. And
il would be most appropriate for the
United States to be thus represented al
Picking, if representation it may be styled
by one of it's citizens invited by the Chi
nese government to serve in this capacity
Having withdrawn from all participation
in the international loan. the United
States is interested only in the mainte-
nance by China of the open door of trade
It hopes that it's capitalists will have an
equal opportunity with others to invest in
construction and development enter
prises, and it will strive to that end In
its diplomatic representations.

Sugar and Silver.

Former Gov Carter OF Hawaii echoes
the plant of the Louisianians about
sugar He had no idea that the demo-
cratic party if invested with full power
would put sugar on the free list HIS
reliance was on the assurance that tariff
revision should not take the form of de-
struction to any American industry
And vet Mr. Underwood had declared
for free sugar at the special session or
the Sixty-second Congress Was there
any reason for supposng that he had not
then been sincere? That with his action
subject to review by democratic SEN
ate and President he would not go so
far
There was a charge last year that in
the tariff maneuvers of the year before
MIR Underwood had been playing politics.
that his principal object was TO rut Mr.
Taft in a hole and that the vetoes were
in the line of his. Underwood desires
Some features of the business bore that
aspect Undoubtedly both democrats and
Republicans we're satisfied when the time
came TO go to the country on the Payne
law unchanged. The vetoes were prompt
IL sent in and the issue was raised for
the presidential campaign
But as il now appears, Mr.. Underwood
had meant what he had said about sugar,
and he repeats it, with but an insignifi-
cant change. in his present bill. He
favors free sugar and even at once. The
concession of three years of grace is re-
1uctantly given.
Mr. Underwood then has misled no
body. Sugar men in Porto Rico. Hawaii.
and on the mainland here. had full no
tce. Ii they are now surprised as well
as Erieved they are themselves to blame.
Now is there any comfort for them in
the fact that IL is the income tax which
is making free sugar easy of accomplish
ment They favored that tax. and might
have seen that by levying it the party in
power would if so disposed be able to dis
pense with the revenue from sugar.
The sugar men are this year as con-
spicuous victims of overconfidence as the
silver men were twenty years ago. Silver
democrats and many silver republicans
voted for Mr.. Cleveland in 1892. on the
assurance that if elected he would do
1.-The fair thing by silver What he did
to silver is matter of history
So now with sugar. That product is
scheduled for the free list, although the
planters assert that the policy will de-
stroy their industry and ruin them. The
party they helped bring into power is
committed to a course which will put
them out of business.

The Bill to License Guides.

The Gallinger bill to license guides in
the District should be passed promptly.
Some system should be devised whereby
those who offer their services for the guild
ance of visitors about the capital shall DC
subject to official regulation and held ac-
countable for their treatment of patrons.
At present any one can put on some sort
of an insignia and call himself guide,
without possessing any qualifications TOT
this work and perhaps with the intention
of defraudng and cheating the people
who intrust themselves to his care
large percentage of the visitors of Wash
ington come for only two or three days
and have little chance % acquaint tnem-
selves with their rights and to enter
complaint against impostors when they
find themselves cheated or otherwise In
iured. So in the absence of any regu-
Iaton of the guides these visitors are ex-
posed to imposition.
1t would be well in this connection to
set up some sort of system OF examina-
ton to prove the competency of those
receiving the Districts license to work
as guides. The men who IKE tourists
about the city should know the story or
Washington, know its peculiar political
relationship with the federal government
and its history. They should be able TO
tell interestingly the vital points in the
record of the city in its transition from
a widely scattered, ready-made seat oil
government to the present community OF
over 350O0O people. They should know
the landmarks intimately and be wei
versed in the traditions connected with
them In short, they should be equipped
with information sufficient to send their
patrons home with perfect understand
ing OF Washington, its significance and
its various activities \ scale of charges
should be established and conspicuously
posted in hotels and the railroad station
and other public places with distinct
warning that guides bearing certain
badges are licensed under the law. with
this system visitors to Washington would
be better served and Washington itself
would be better shown.

enormous stake in the game. and well
