SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR SAME

the Offices that the District has known.
Even before the November elections
there was slate making of District Of
fees. Since President Taft nominated
Mr.. Cuno H. Rudolph and Capt. James
F. Oyster in January, the subject has
been prominently and constantly in the
public mind This is especially true of
the nearly four months since President
Wilson was inaugurated.
In this protracted consideration OF
an affair most important to the District,
the names of scores of men for whom
our people entertain high respect and
affection have been used. All these
mems qualifications have been judged
by the President. The choosing of two
out of the many is no depreciation of
the others, who have lost not one whit
of the peoples regard for them. There
should be, seemingly there is, no
rancor.
When the nominations of Mr.. New
man and Mr.. Siddons are confirmed,
and the new officials are inaugurated,
the people of the District will welcome
them with ready loyalty and complete
confidence.

MIR. Cuno H.. Rudolph.

The nominations of the civilian CON-
missioners to succeed the present hold
ers of those Offices marks the retire.
ment of Mr.. Cuno H. Rudolph from
the presidency of the Board of Com
missioners. Words of farewell to Com
missioner Rudolph and of greeting to
Citizen Rudolph are, therefore, timely.
In both the farewell and the greeting
there is hearty friendship for Mr.. Ru-
dolph. In his office Mr. Rudolph has
been conscientious, competent, and
courteous. In his work for the Dis
trict he exhibited the same qualihca-
tons that had won him success as a
private citizen. He will come back to
the ranks of the people with those
qualifications enhanced by useful ex-
perience of large affairs, which should
be valuable, not merely to himself, but
to his fellow-citizenS.
A man of honor, a man of ability, a
man of unfailing cheer and healthful
humor, Mr.. Rudolph, in Office or out
of it, is secure in the esteem of the
people.

Ambassador Page Housed.

1t develops after all that Ambassador
Page at London will not have to live
in a style unbecoming his predecessors
at the Court of St. James. No sneers
nor side remarks will be Forthcoming
at his receptions.
The President appointed Mr.. Page
after there had been several declina-
tons of the post. For while it looked
as if the President seriously would be
embarrassed, owing to the discrepancy
existing between the ambassadorial
salary of SI7,5oo annually and the
money it actually takes to maintain the
dignity of the Office.
When Mr.. Pages nomination was
sent to the Senate the appointment was
heralded as that of poor man" and
much was written about the barking
back to the days of Democratic SIM
plicity"
1t develops now that if Mr.. Page
was in any degree of poverty he has
managed TO make a raise. The cables
yesterday brought the news that the
American Ambassador is about to close
negotiations for the palatial town resi-
dence of the Duke of Manchester. The
residence is offered at a rental of
$1,000 to $4,000 for period of eleven
and half months with an option of
purchase. The Ambassador is reported
greatly pleased. There is a garden in
the rear and the neighbors include Earl
Fitzwilliam, the Duke of Portland, Lord
Farquhar, and Lady Vincent.
According to the story, Col. E. NJ.
House, of Texas, frequently reported
to be the premier of the Wilson
Kitchen Cabinet" is abroad, and it
was the Texas colonel, who, after
diligent house hunt, succeeded in max
ing the deal with the Duke of Man
chester.
Another human interest story to the
effect that Mr.. Page would have to
hustle for breakfast money while in
London is rudely dispelled.

Merely Postponed.

The action of. the Democratic ma
.jority in the House in defeating the
budget reform proposition is to be de-
plored, even though it was to have
been expected.
In the fullness of time, however, the
present system of handling appropria-
ton bills in the House will have to be
changed 1t is illogical, cumbersome,
and extravagant. No one can read
Representative Fitzgerald's thoughtful
and exhaustive speech upon the subject
without feeling that his contention is
absolutely sound. Appropriation bills
should not be distributed among eight
or ten committees, or, If so distributed,
there should be supervision and cor
relation by some central authority. 1t
is haphazard arrangement now, and
one which would not be tolerated for a
moment in a great corporation con-
Quoted upon business principles.
The majority in the House will not
now accede to the suggestion of a
change because they do not want to
relinquish any of the power to expend
public money so widely distributed
among them. They must come 10
realize, however, that the welfare OF
the country is paramount to selfish and
personal considerations. A necessary
and wise reform is merely postponed.

THE OPEN FORUM
s'The Schedule That Is L."

To the Editor: The attention OF the
writer has been called to an editorial in
The Herald of Friday, June 20, headed.
THE Schedule that Is L" which refers
to, without in any way quoting the let
ter which / had the pleasure of writing
The Herald on June 10. and which, 1 be-
Iieve, was not published. rms letter or
June 10 was called forth by a previous
editorial in The Herald OF Friday, June g.
believed at that time, and still be-
lieve, that The Herald did not wilrulIy
misrepresent the facts in that article,
but had been misinformed. what 1 took
exception to in my letter OF June 10, and
again take exception TO In this editorial
OF June ~, Is that the impression Is
given that nobody is in favor OF specific
duties upon SILK goods. except rev
manufacturers VINO are TO prort by them,
and that we are attempting to MAINTAIN
a prohibitive and unreasonable schedule.
Such is not the case.
AS a matter OF fact, such duties nave
been advocated by the French Chamber
OF Commerce, very greatly interested IN
the importation of silk goods; by the
Importers Association of New York,
which prepared a schedule themselves
for presentation to the ways ana Means
Committee of specific rates; they have
been Endorsed by the customs officials
who have had charge or the collection
of the customs, and by every Secretary
of the Treasury for the last fifty years,
with one exception; ana. moreover. the
failure to place specific duties upon
broad goods is the very point where they
are most needed. because IL is here that
goods come in competition most closely
with goods from CHINA ana Japan, made
by Iow-priced Oriental labor. and where
values are most difficult TO ascertain.
The writer does not consider that a
schedule which allows the Importation
OF 100000 worth of goods should be
classified as a prohibitive one.
. Although there are a great number OF
classifications in this schedule, the prin-
ciples are quite simple and administra-
ton is not difficult. While a complete
understanding OF any industry as a total
is a complicated matter, yet 1 do not
believe that a person acquainted with
the silk business of ordinary intelligence,
should f1nd It at all dIfncult TO under
stand how these duties are assessed or
what they mean.
The Silk Association. and myself as
their representative, has not during this
tariff session talked about the question
of the size of the rates, expecting that
a Democratic administration would feel
bound to reduce them to some extent:
but have devoted our entire energies 10
the question of maintaining what we be-
lieve to be absolutely necessary for the
proper collection of duties-specific rates.

One InfaIlible Sign.

In the midst OF rumors of dizziness,
of strikes and wage advances, mid the
dullness Of tariff changes, the change
of administration, the floods, and other
evils that have come upon US, there has
been much prosperity in the first half
OF the year 1913.
There is one infallible sign, and that
is the disbursements that are made
July and January. If they are salts
factory then business has not been so
very bad.
With the Ist of July semi-annual
and quarterly dividends are paid by
many corporations. railroads, street
railroads, industrial corporations, and
by banks and other institutions.
Therefore, when the announcement
is made that S266,ooo.ooo will be paid
out to shareholders and Landowners in
American investment enterprises, it is
an infallible evidence that times have
been better than we have admitted.
Furthermore, this years semi-annual
payment will be 100000 greater than
at the corresponding time last year.
Disbursement will be dividends on
A,755,Ieo,ooo of stock and interest on
8,ooo,735,97o par valuation of bonds.
The former will aggregate $o7.oo7,4S7,
and the bond interest SI6S, 76S.o26, max
ing actual disbursements Se65,7755I3.
Some of the largest disbursements
will be made by industrial corporations.
Harvester, $4,000; American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, $685.
$50; Anaconda Copper, S3,e64375;
Swift & Co.. SI,3I2,5oo, while the Union
Pacific Railroad Company will leave
all far in the rear with payments of
S54Is.6o5. Southern Pacific will pay
100000, and Lehigh Valley, S3,o25y 900.
And for the six months of the year
the disbursements have aggregated
S., IoI 100000, as follows: January,
S248oooooo; February, SS6ooo,ooo;
March, SII3,ooo,ooo; April, sI7I,ooo,ooo;
May, $II3oooooo; June, SIoAooo,ooo,
and July, $266,ooo,ooo.
When the July disbursements are paid
out there ought to be material ease
ment in the money market.
The size of the disbursement is more
than half of the proposed issue of
Treasury notes.
