State and County Taxation.

Representative Crisp alleges that the
census comparisons of taxation take into
account only municipal taxation and
ignore the state and county taxes which
other Americans than those of Washing
ton pay. He insists upon taxing the
Washingtonian who enjoys no state and
county benefits an amount equal to that
paid by those Americans who do enjoy
these privileges and benefits. why Should
the Washingtonian be taxed to pay Tor
what he does not get?
The Washington per capita tax levy
would naturally fall slightly below that
of other American cities of Its class.
Coupled with the disadvantages or ex-
elusive national control is a benefit out
side of the direct national contribution.
The city being governed directly by
Uncle Sam ought to be and is well
governed in the sense that 1t IS econom-
ically and efficiently governed without
mulcting either local or national
tquasi) taxpayers to provide graft.
The United States. throwing Treasury
safeguards about all expenditures, can
see and does see that every dollar is
for private graft. The District tax
payer is entitled to the benefit of this
economy OF clean. honest and efnclent
municipal government; and ms per
capita taxation to be reasonable and
fair in itself ought not to be so high
as that of many other large American
cities in which it is conceded that
through graft percentage OF the
amount represented by the per capita
tax levy is not devoted to any bene-
fetal public purpose.
one of the census items of municipal
expen diture is legislative expense, but IL
the case of Washington that item is zero,
and the Washingtonian's per capita tax
levy would naturally be slightly reduced
on bthat account. Congress. or the ma
tioo does not permit Washington to par
ticipate in it's own legislative control. but
reserves ali power to itself. Washing
tonians participate on equal terms with
other Americans in payment of all ma.
tional taxes from which the salaries of
its congressional legislators are paid.
The Washington taxpayer thus pays in
his national taxes for this legislative
expense.
Not having any legislature of his own,
he should not pay what is paid in the
per capita levies of other Americans for
that privilege. Not having any of the
benefits or privileges of statehood and
state government he should not be
viewed as escaping just obligation if he
pays no state taxes.

In measuring city tax burdens to ascer-
tain whether the Wasaingtonian is or is
not reasonably taxed the figures OF the
census bulletin giving the statistics of
1S4 American cities exceeding 10000 in
population are used. These figures for
cities with which Washington taxes
are compared include tax levieS not only
by the city corporation, out by school dis

THE CURRENCY BILL

The administration currency bill
involves three fundamental prin-
ciples.
First: The notes issued must
be issued by the government and
not by the banks.
Second The issue must be con
trolled by public servants and not
by private institutions or individ-
uals.
Third: The emergency curren-
cy issued through state banks as
we'll as through national banks.
The bill as prepared observes
these three requirements. The
right of the government to issue
money is not surrendered to the
banks; the control over the money
so issued is not relinquished by the
government; and national banks
are not given a monopoly Of the
benefits flowing from the issue of
these emergency notes.
The regional reserve banks will
prove of great advantage to busi-
ness. Each reserve bank will be a
commercial center and this center
will be much nearer to the ex-
tremes than the few large cities are

NOTICE

To Whom This May Concern: We, the undersigned, feel that we are being imposed upon by a certain element of people who fail or refuse to pay their ac- counts.
 We find after considering the matter among ourselves, that there are hundreds of people who owe most every doctor in town and never pay any one eX- cept by putting one doctor and using another as long as possible without paying either
 Now the practice of medicine is hard enough when we collect our bills, muchless when we do not collect, as a rule, fifty per cent. Our charges today are the same as they were fifteen years ago, when wages and liv- ing expenses in general among other classes have increased fifty per cent. Still we only ask that we be paid for our services at the same price as formally. It Is not our object to impose a hardship upon any worthy person who needs the services of a physician and unable to pay for the same, but those who can and refuse or fail to do so, we earnestly request that you call and make satisfactory arrang- ments with the doctor you owe. We know who you are and we do not intend to practice for you un- less you comply with the above request an an early date.
