COOPERATION DESIRED
IN BOOK DISTRIBUTION
George F. Bowerman Makes
Suggestion Regarding Public
Libraries and Bookstores.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May l4.-Speaking on the
necessity for cooperation between the
library and the bookstore at today's ses-
sion of the thirteenth annual convention
of the American Booksellers Association.
George f. Bowerman of the Washington
Public Library said il is a fallacy TO
believe that public libraries decrease the
business % booksellers. ard urged the
good which will result II the dealers and
librarians work together. He said that II
the booksellers will assist in dimin shing
the number of worthless books II will
make their business more stable and re-
munerative.
.As a basis for such cooperation" said
Mr. Bowerman. there must be on the
part of the bookseller a reasonable re-
gard for high standards both in choosing
his stock and in pushing sales. BY this
I do not mean that the bookseller should
turn the business of buying MS stock
over 10 the librarian. but ! do mean that
a bookseller cannot long hope for enthu-
siastic cooperation from the librarian II
he persists In filling his most prominent
tables with weak. trashy or saidcious
royels of low grade and badly printed
and crudeiy illustrated chiidren's books
Work of Public Libraries.
Mr.. Bowerman told Of the work of the
Washington Public Library IN assisting
the booksellers. Beginning in 1904, he
said. the library has conducted. in the
weeks preceding Christmas, an exhibition
OF volumes suitable for gifts. and other
means have been taken to encourage
people to buy books. 1t is a mistake to
believe that the public libraries are not
favorable TO the ownership OF books by
private individuals. he said.
He added that in some years the wash
ington Public Library has co-operated
with libraries in other cities. securing i'm
printed editions of catalogues compiled
elsewhere Last Christmas. he said, the IL
hrary did not issue a catalogue. but did
hold an exhibition Of children's books On
special days the public was invited to
hear the children's librarian discuss the
volumes exhibited and the principles OF
selecting books for children. On other oc-
casions the children's librarian and other
CONSERVATIVES of the library have ac-
cepted invitations TO address women $
clubs and parent teacher associations on
books suitable for Christmas gifts. Often.
he added, the books recommended have
been sent by the librarv 20 the club meet
ines for examination. Always in con-
nection with such exhibits at the library
Christmas and other book lists from pub
fishers have been given away in large
numbers in addition to the liorary's own
list of recommended books.
II have for distribution to all persons

LIST is based on q group of books col
Iected as a result of years of experience.

WANT MOUNT VERNON
OPENED ON SUNDAY
Resolutions Adopted by Com
merCe Chamber-Tariff
Discussed.

The Chamber of Commerce. at meet
ing held last night at the New Willard
Hotel. adopted resolutions in favor of the
opening of Mount Vernon to visitors on
Sunday. The action was taken upon the
motion OF William s. Shannon; the re-
quest being addressed to the board of re-
gents.
Mr. Shannon explained that there are
thousands of residents of Washington
who have never visited Mount Vernon
because Of their inability to make the trip
on week days. He also declared that the
opening of the estate on Sundays will be
greatly appreciated by the many tourists
who visit Washington.
Tariff Is Chief Topic.
The tariff was the chief topic of dis
cussion at the meeting. For time the
debate became so animated that the
gathering resembled a political meeting
rather than that of a commercial or
ganization.
a letter from the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York, asking the support of
the Washington Chamber of Commerce
in an attempt TO change certain admin
istrative provisions of the tariff law. was
responsible. Chaplin Brown, counsel for
the organization, urged that the chamber
take action on the requests embodied in
the letter. Immediately protests were
heard from several members, who de-
clared that the matter was purely pO-
litical one. One member declared that
the quickest way to destroy the useful
ness of the Chamber OF Commerce would
be to pay attention to protests against
the tariff.
Others were opposed to tabIing the let
ter on the ground that such action would
be discourteous. After spirited discus
sion the matter was referred to the COM
Hospital Movement Approved.
Upon the motion of D. j. Kaufman
unanimous approval of the movement to
raise $3O0,O0o for a new Emergency Hos
pital was given. Approval also was
given the proposition to establish a for
est reserve between Washington and
Baltimore To the committee on safe
and sane observance of Independence day
was referred a communication from the
Drama League regarding the holding of
a pageant July 4.

THE INCOME TAX.
W.-Taxation at the
Source.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The principal objection to the income
tax in the United States is the one stated
in 1894 by William l.. Wilson before Ben
ton McMillin stole a march him and
forced his amendment to the Wilson bill
through the House-that 1t is tax upon
conscience. As will be told in a subse-
quent article. the House leaders were not
in favor of an income tax. and William
l.. Wilson declared that he favored cor
poration tax because the government had
means TO assess corporations properly,
but that he thought it would be difficult
TO collect income taxes from individuals.
He declared that he believed in the equity
of such a tax. but not in its practical
bilty
What Mr.. Wilson sought was a means
of imposing a tax that would make taxa
ton at its source a possibility. Such a
method of collecting the bulk OF their in
come taxes has been found to be success
full by a number of governments. In some
Of the countries which have national in
come tax laws as much as four-tifths of
the total possible revenues from these
laws are gathered into the public treas
ury before the incomes upon which they
are n tax reach the bank accounts of
their owners.

Advantage of System
Has Been Demonstrated

first adopted 1t in 1903. Before that time
the tax rate had been 10 per cent The
law that provided for collecting the major
portion of the tax at its source also con-
tanned provision cutting the rate in
half and making it 5 per cent. And Yet
the lower rate, with stoppage at the
source as a substitute for the lump sum
tax, produced practically the same
amount Of revenue as the higher rate
without it.
Practically every student of the Eng
lish income tax laws agrees that one
of the principal factors in it's success has
been the principle Of stopping the tax
at it's source. England has chung tena-
ciously to that idea from the beginning
and has coupled with 1t the practice Of
requiring incomes to be itemized by
schedules in such way that their salient
features. at least. may be checked up.
Every English tax authority. as was
shown by the invest cation Of 1906, feels
that it would be an evil day for England
should 1t decide to give up these prin-
ciples of assessment and collection.
In Germany the situation Is a different
one There inquisitorial methods are
taken as matter of course, and the peo-
pie seem to care but little if the revenue
authorities do pry into their private af-
fairs They permit such inquiry into
their affairs as never would be tolerated
by British subjects or American citi-
Zens, and so there is not the great neces-
sity for avoiding inquisitor.al investi
cations that there is in England and the
United States.

Large Gallery Present.

The fact that this match was scheduled
and that the Marine Band had been en-
gagged brought out a large gallery and
the court was surrounded when play was
called. The match was replete with sem
sational plays made by one side or the
other, and long-spirited rallies kept the
gallery keyed up to high pitch through
out the three sets.
In the first set the local pair lost the
opening game. but soon tied things up
and forged to the front losing another
and then taking four straight, making the
score 5-2. An unexpected squirt on the
part of the .'Gothamites' gave them the
next two, and almost tied things up, but
the local pair took the final one, which
was a love one, thereby drawing first
blood. The card for the set was:
Doyle and Doyle l . 6 4-35-6

HELD HERE BY REQUEST
E. r. Sheppard Is Charged With Al
legged Larceny of Diamonds.
Hearing Tomorrow.

Erie r. Sheppard thirty-three years
Old said to be connected with New
York firm of manufacturing jewelers.
will be given a hearing probably before
Chief Justice Clabaugh tomorrow. on
vania that he be turned over to County
Detective Fred W. Tepel of Williams
port. a warrant having been issued for
his arrest for alleged larceny by bailee.
1t is alleged that he obtained $1,000 worth
of diamond jewelry from Max Kohner of
Baltimore and failed to make returns
for the consignment.
Detective Messer arrested Sheppard last
night and found a quantity of jewelry in
his pockets. Sheppard also had d re-
volver in his pocket and charge of con-
cealed weapons was entered against him.
1t is stated that the man under arrest
came to this city for the purpose of pur
chasing the stock OF 9th street jewelry
store and was arrested before he had
made the deal.
NJ. c. Rhone a lawyer from Williams
port reached this city this morning to
take an interest i'll the prosecution of
Sheppard. He stated to Inspector Board
man that County Detective Tepel will
reach here late this afternoon with req
uisition papers
JeWelry From Baltimore Firm.
Lawyer Rhone gave the police infor-
nation about the case in which Sheppard
is defendant. Three months ago. he
stated. Sheppard is alleged TO have re-
ceived the jewelry from the Baltimore
firm. and 10 have placed it in his place
of business in Williamsport, having previ-
ously purchased the bankrupt business of
B. q. kaplan. Three slight fires occurred
in the building in which the store was To-
Gated. states the attorney, and Sheppard
claimed the kohner diamonds were lost
in the fire.
kaplan was arrested later and charged
with concealing assets in bankruptcy pro-
ceedings the attorney says, and was
sentenced TO six months imprisonment
and fined $500. Lawyers Brandenburg
and Brandenburg are counsel for Shep-
pard and it is stated the prisoner also
wired for his counsel in Willamsport to

he takes a box at the theater. what he

niture last year, and hundred and one
other questions. any one of which, if
asked OF the average American. would
tempt him to reply: 1T isn't any Of your

But Germany is about the only country
where stoppage at the source has not
proved to be a prime essential to the sue
cess of the tax. Elsewhere other systems
have been tried and pronounced fall
ure. and when stoppage at the source
was written into the law this failure gen
orally has been followed by success or
course, 1t Is natural that If A pays B a
part of BIS income. he Is not going to
perjure himself to save the amount of
that payment from becoming known to
the revenue authorities. Therefore. he
is rather certain to tell just how much
income 3 does get through him. That
is why stoppage at the source succeeds
where the old system of simply letting B
report his income fails.
rhe United States heretofore has made
little effort TO apply the principle of
stoppage at the source to its tax laws.
In the civil war income tax laws there
was almost no effort to establish such a
system of assessment and collection In
the law of 1894 1t was provided that the
government was to deduct the tax from
the salaries of public officials and that
corpora tons should pay the tax on divi-
dends. but these were the only provisions
looking to the collection of the tax before
it reached the man who was to pay IT..
The law did provide that every corpora
ton which was paying salaries or COM
pensations in excess of $4,000 should re-
ba nf M RI vxybf ch
such salaries were paid, and that each
such employee should pay the tax thereon
