What do you, MT. Man From Home, know about Goat Alley, Washington, D. C.? You have seen the Capitol, the White House and the Washington Monument. But your responsibility extends also to Goat Alley and all the other back alleys. Your vote counts in the municipal affairs of the nation s capitaECongress is the city govern nent of ~Washington-but the peoPle who live there have no vote.
 For more years than a few some of the people of Washington have been aware that there is in the c1ty's in habited alleys a menace to the public health, morals and police records. But the majority of that changing frac- ton of it's people who hold federal of Hce and ex-offcio govern the city, have <efrafned from taking any interest in them.
 So during all these years the re- quests and demands of local social workers and of citizens with 8 social conscience-Dut without a vote-felI on ears that were hard of hearing. Only Srom President Roosevelt did they get any counfort-from his Presidents Homes Commission, which made Q study Of the alleys dwellings and pub 1ished a report with recommendations dts only tangible result to date has been the beginning of the conversion of Willow Tree Alley into an interior
 
 of the workers believe that such an in- terior park will be almost as great a menace as the inhabited alley, but Washington has some 275 inhabited al- 1eys.
 There has been some legislation that has improved conditions. The Board for the Condemnation of InSanttary Buildings has been created Up to May 1 of this year it had demolished 1.692 of the worst shacks and caused 1,55S to be repaired There is a law prohibiting the erection of new houses on alleys less than forty feet. wide But that works two ways Old houses are kept in commission, the owners chief fears being that the Board for the Condemnation will fcatch them if they don't watch out. There is a. law providing for the conversion of alleys Into minor streets, but like some other laws which mean well, 1t doesn't t work. So Washington has made very little progress on its alley problem.
 The voteIess citizens of the capital did more than ask Congress to do something for them They studied their problem and published books and reports just as citizens with votes in other cities do They drought in men like Jacob A Raas to arouse general interest. And-to show their earnest ness-they organized two housing com panies on five per cent. and a four per cent basis to provide good hous- Ing in competition with bad. H
 But 1t was not until last winter that the general pubHc-includfng both the resident and the constitutional term elementS-began to take interest. Two more pamphlets were issued, one by the Monday Evening Club, the other by the Women,s VEelfare Depar tnaent, the ministers Of the National Civic Federation preached about bad alleys, and Mrs. Woodrow wilson Joined the ranks. Tn May the welfare department of the National Civic Federation held a large public meeting at which Sec retary of Commerce Redfield and the field secretary of the National Housing Association, spoke.
 Two weeks later the Committee of Fifty outlined plan of campaign. It

The act of carrying a list of property exempt from taxation is altered by adding to the list church houses on comp grounds. Slight changes are made in the laws regarding the tax ation of woodland, providing for a graduated yield tax, which runs from per cent. Of the yield upon ten years from the time planting to per cent. after 50 years.
 Tax collectors in towns are to pre- serve carbon copies of receipts paid. the slips being numbered and taken from bound books prepared for the purpose. Towns, at their annual meet ings, are authorized to fix the com pensation of assessors, members of the board of relief and auditors, the power being vested in the seIectmen, if the town meeting fails to act. Town treas urers and tax collectors are required to secure bonds from a surety com pany at the expense of the town.
 The new act giving cities and bor- oughs the power to issue bonds under certain restrictions, without specific permission of the Legislature, is given A change in the law regarding the tax atfon of land taken by munici palities for water supply provides that the land shall be taxed ''at the average assessed valuation per acre of inn proved farming land in the town

wher it is located unless the inhab- itants of such town have the right to use the water on the same terms as the municipality controlling it.
 An act provides that selectmen's or ders on the treasurer shall be made in carbon duplicate, like the tax coIlec tors receipts, and it is ordered that the board Of equalization shall pro- scribe the blank forms for all tax lists. Minor changes are made in the act ergarding the collection of a per sona1 tax, the changes relating mostly to the appointment of collectors in bor- oughs.
 The pamphlet regarding state rev enues opens with a. change in the in heritance tax law, every Legislature having made some changes in it since it's introduction. The word husband, wife, are added to the act of 1911 A further tinker is given in another act. which provides that bequests to charitable institutions shall be exempt from the tax.
 Section 2.424 of the General Statutes is amended, so as to require railroad companies to pay a tax Of il mills up- on the valuation of their stock, as fixed by the board of equalization. The statute, as 1t stood, imposed a tax of per cent
 new tax is imposed, in lieu of any existing ones, upon the gross earnings of express comanies, telegr aph, cable and telephone companies, dining, sleep ing, chair or parlor car companies and refrigerator, oil, stock and fruit car companies operating in the state. The tax on express companies is 2 per cent, on telegraph and cable companies 3 per cent, on car companies per cent, and on telephone companies per cent. The pamphlet also contains the pro- vision for 1-mill state tax on the lists of 1919 and 1913.

NEW TAX LAWS
ComnaIssioner Gives Acts on State and
 Local Finances

Two pamphlets have been issued from the office of Tax Commissioner Corbin. one giving the legislation of 1913 regarding state revenues and the other the changes regard ding local rev enues. The latter gives the text of the new acts, and both compel the seeker after light to compare the enacfments with the General Statutes and with the Public Acts of 1905, 1907, 1893 and 1911, in order to see what has happened A law regarding the levy ing of school district taxes permits the district to tax the personal property of persons living in it at the time the 1ax is laid and to tax the property Of manufacturing business subject to tax ation located in the district, but not including any real estate belonging to such concern not located in the dis trict Another act permits an asses sor to add to a districts list any real estate accidentally omitted.
