Shark Is a Fish,
Is Official RuIinQ

A shark is most certainly, undoubted-
ly and unequivocally a fish. This is the
firm impression OF DR.. Lester Jones
and other officials of the Bureau Of
Fisheries. all competent authorities.
It was intimated from Philadelphia
that a shark was a mammal, at least
SO far as a certain fishing club was
concerned. and this description fairly
took the breath from DR.. Jones.
II seems that a Philadelphia fishing
club offered a big prize for the big
gest catch OF the season. DR.. Robert
E. Lee killed a ninety-p pound shark with
an ak, and Immediately sent II to the
club as his catch. When the prize
was handed out, DR.. Lee WAS passed up,
solely on the ground that mis- shark wos
declared to be a mammal, there being
no doubt that II was far and away the
biggest "catch." Not satisfied, he ap-
pealed for a description of a shark,
but it seems this will not help him.

George Gains Support.

Congressman Henry George. jr., of
New York. has been engaged, ever since
he was in Congress- in a movement to
promote the cause of taxation of land
values in the District. However, he has
not been by any means alone. And in
one way and another, much support has
been rallied to the cause he advocates.
This Is so far the case that no less than
five of the members Of the House Dis
trict Committee, which has a full MEM
beTship of twenty-One, are in favor OF
this system of taxation. Moreover, the
plan has some strength in the Senate
District Committee, and much support
In the Senate itself.
Under these circumstances, the sup
porters OF the taxation of land values
are likely TO be able to have an effect
on any notifications of the taxation
system here which may be made, even
II they do not accomplish what they
would like TO.
That the subject of taxation of land
values, after the manner advocated
by Henry George. is breaking more
and more into politics in this couh-
try Is indicated in various ways
Recently Edmund B. Osborne, Progress
Give party candidate for governor Of
New Jersey, has sent to friends in
Washington copies OF his declaration OF
principles as a candidate for governor.
In this, he gives prime attention to tax
alton reform, declared for the doctrine
of abolish privilege, instead of regu-
lating II" and comes out for taxation
of land values.
Favors Canadian Method.
He refrains from alluding to the single
tax In so many words, and says:
Il propose that We abolish all taxes
on personal property, including house.

II VIII be possible to enact legislation
of this sort for the District of Columbia
Is doubtful. but there is little question
that the efforts to do so will stir up

SENIORITY TALK
TO Be SETTLED
AT LEAST - BUT
DOMINATION OF SENATE AS
HERETOFORE MUST CEASE.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20.-The
dispute among the senate democrats
over the question of seniority and
committee chairmanships for the
SiXty-thiri congress has been tenta-
lively settled by an agreement that
the senator's who are entitled by
reason of seniroity to the best com
mittee plums shall have these posi-
tions, but otherwise the senate shall
be so organized that senators who
have served longest shall not domi-
nate the upper body, as they hae
always done heretofore.
Senators who are entitled by Sc
niority to have the chairmanships of
the six most important committees,
and these committees are:
Finance-Smmons of North Caro-
lima.
Commerce Martin of Virginia.
priations-Tillman OF South
Carolina.
Foreign Relations-Bacon Of Geor-
gia.
Interstate ommerce-Newlands of
Nevada
udiciary-Culberson of Texas.
1t is proposed. in consideration of
leaving these chairmanships to be
determined by seniority, to provide
further that no senator who is chair
man of any one of this group, at
least until all other democratic sen.
ators are provided places in this
group of committees.
This arrangement would, for in
stance, give Senator Tillman the
chairmalrhip of appropriations, if that
be his choice. But it wouh make
it impossible for him to retain
place on Interstate Commerce, on
which he is now the leading demo
crat.
1t would give Senator Simmons the
craftsmanship of Finance but would
make him ineligible to serve on
Commerce.
1T would make Senator Martin
chairman of Commerce, but would
exclude him from the place he now
holds on, Claims.
1t would make Senator Bacon chair.
man of Foreign Relations, but would
necessitate his retirement from Judi
ciary or vice versa.
Senator Martin of Virginia, under
the plan that has been devised would
continue floor leader of the ma
jority as he is now, but the pow
ers of that position would be greatly
For instance, the leader
ship would be limited to two years
at the end of which time the caucus
would have to make a new selec-
ton.
Also, Mr.. Martin, as leader, would
have the authority taken from him
of naming the committee on commit
tees, and that highly important com
mittee would be elected by the dem
ocratic caucus, or perhaps named by
the leader subject to the approval
Of the caucus.
Still further, the floor leader and
chairman of the caucus, Mr.. Martin
would be made ineligible to serve
on the committee on committees.
Part of the consideration which the
liberals propose to exact for leav-
ing the veterans in the chairman
ships, is that the body of each first
rate committee shall include a ma
iority of radical ami liberal men,
oers, is that the chairman may not
De able to rule absolutely.
There is still an element of more
-adical democrats who insist that
his plan does not go far enough,
and are urging that nothing less than
the veteran conservatives
rom the chairmanships will serve;
mt this is declared not to be by
my means the view of the majority
