BOAT OWNERS ARE FINED.
Those Breaking Navigation Rules
Paw Several Hundred Dollars.

Fines amounting to nearly $4,000 have
been imposed upon motor boat owners
residing on the Potomac side of st.
Marys county. Md. by Collector of Gus
toms Stone at Baltimore, following a
report made by Capt. \. Lincoln Dry
den commanding the government in
specticn launch Tarragon, regarding
violations of the marine regulations
This report is supplementary to one
made early in the week and which re-
suited in fines amounting to several
thousand dollars being imposed
At River Springs, Nd, fines of $3.50
each were imposed upon the owners of
four power boats which smashed the
regulations in slivers, as they did not
have aboard their vessels whistles or
other signaling apparatus, life pre-
servers or pilot rules. They also navi-
gated the boats without this neces-
sary equipment.
Another power boat owner at River
Springs and two owners at Rock Point.
in the WicomicO river, We're assessed
$3.50 each for not having proper equip
ment as required by law.
In addition the eight men have been
reported to the United States district
for indictment for not having means
for extinguishir:c burning gasoline
aboard their boats. The authorities
are determined that vessel masters and
owners shall obey the navigat alton regu-
lations to the fullest extent. and heavy
fines will be the penalty for failure to
do So

figures used by Mr.. PrOuty in his mis-
directed conputation-appears in this con-
nect:On to be taxed heavily rather than
lightly. He pays 26 cents year more
than the average Buffalonian, and 40 cents
year more than the citizen of Indian
apOlis. and $1.9J more than the average
resident of Detroit, and S2l1 more than
the average citizen of Cleveland, and s. 2j
more than the average dweller in St.
Paul. and $4.14 more than the average
citizen of New Orleans, and SfS1 more
than the average Louisvillian.
Thus analyZed it appears that the fig
ures used by Representative Prouty in
his attempt to prove the WashingtOnian
to be overrich and undertaXed demon
strate completely different result. Bear
ing I'm mind the fact that only a fraction
of the physical property in the District
OF Columbia is subject to taxation, and
that the tax burden is borne solely by the
possessions of the citizens and not those
of the government, 1t is evident that
instead Of being tax-dodger. the un-
worthy recipient of federal bounty in the
form of theoret cally equal contributions
from the United States Treasury to the
support of the District municipality. the
WaShingtonian carries. in comparison
with the resident of other cities, heavy
burden of taxation. in reality far in ex-
cess of justification in the form of
tangible taxable properties.

No Evidence of Local Wealth.

1t appears from this showing that
Washington. with only fraction of
its property-that of its citizens and
not that of the SOvernment-subject
to taxation. stands second of the thir-
teen cities of the group in respect to the
actual volume of taxation assessment
being exceeded only by Cleveland. with
210GO more people and an incomparably
greater industrial life. with large manu-
factories and extensive commercial es-
Establishments. In respect of these condi-
tons that greatly affect the material well
fare of community, Washington is in a
poorer position than any of the other cities
of this group. 1t Is not to be compared,
for example. with Detroit. with it's pOpu-
latiOn of .i6S. 900. and yet its assessed VAL
uation on the basis of 100 per cent is great
er by SLIT. $50 than the valuation of
the taxable property in Detroit. Does this
mean that the people of Washington are
richer than those of Detroit? 4 list of
nshington's manufacturing tab1ish-
ments compared with those of the Michi-
gan city would afford pitiable showing
for the capital. and 1t is not to be believ-
ed for a moment that there is in this
District as much taxable wealth i'll the
aggregate or per capita as i'll Detroit, with
its dozens of motor ear factories and
other rich and expanding business In
stitutions. No more is 1t to be believed
that Washington, with nearly 100000 less
population than Buffalo. is a richer city
because it's property valuation. raised to
the basis of 100 per cent, Is more than
S;yOoOo.OCO greater than that of New

Valuation

This means that the average Washing
tOn1an, according to the assessment flg-
ureS which are the basis of Mr.. Prouty' S
attempted comparison. is more heavily
assessed than the average citizen of Min
neapolis by $411. notwithstanding the i'm
mense wealth concentrated there in the
form of great grain elevators and flour
and lumber mills and other manufacture
ing and industrial establishments. He is
more heavily assessed by $491 than the
average citizen of Cincinnati. with it's
great breweries and other large business
institutions He is more heavily assessed
by S5I5 than the average resident OF In
dianapOls. He is assessed more heavily
by $625 than the average Milwaukeean,
although in the latter city are also great
brewer1es and immense manufactures
tending to increase the wealth of the
| community. He is more heavily assessed
by s677 than the resident of Cleveland.
with its large and rapidly expanding bust
ness endowment. He is more heavily
assessed by s776 than the average resi-
dent of Newark He is more heavily
assessed by ss93 than the average resi-
dent of Louisville. with it's great dis
tilleries. His assessment Is greater by
SS95 than that of the resident OF Jersey
City His assessment is greater by 1915
than that of the resident of St. Paul. 1t
is greater by $361 than that of the citi-
zen of New Orleans. 1t is greater by
s1.O03 than that of the resident OF De-
troit, with its Incompatible industrial in
NeStmentS, ana IIidlly II is STedteI w
81 .O7O than that of the average Buffalo
nian. Notwithstanding the wealth there
concentrated in stores. mills and build
ings.
In the light of these figures how is ii
possible to regard Washington as an un-
dertaXed community? All known factors
argue against the assumption that 1t is
city of great wealth. The statistics
upon which Mr.. Prouty has depended to
prove his proposition bear to the very
reverse of his conclusion and prove that
the average WashingtOnian. far from be-
ing the most wealthy citizen of the
United States is in contrast with dwelers
in cities of comparable size. the most
heavily tax burdened as regards per cap
ita taxation assessment.

Changes Since 1907.

This question of the comparative tax
burden of the Washingtonian was ex-
haustvely discussed in a pamphlet pre-
pared by Theodore W. Noyes and issued
by the Board of Trade originally in 1898
and revised in 1910 in order to include the
latest available census figures on the sub
ject of municipal finances. those being
the figures for the year 1907. A COM
parison between the results worked out
in that connection with those deducible
from the figures utilized by Representa-
tive Prouty which have just been analyz-
ed with markedly different showing from
that offered by Mr.. Prouty. will be of in
terest in this connection. For example.
following is a table giving the per capita
actual valuation mot raised to 100 per
cent?, first on the basis of the 1907 census
Evening star., 1913-02-07

in some cases extraordinary changes
are TO be noted between the fgures OF
the first group and those of the second
covering a difference Of presumably hve
years-on the assumption that the Worio
Almanac figures are those for the year
1912 Some Of these changes may not DE
real. but may be due TO the fact that
the World Almanac figures give the
assessed valuation of all taxable prop
erty." thus including both real and per
sonal properties. The census figures OF
1907 we're exclusively those Of real estate
valuations. However this may be. the
inclusion of personal property in 1912 af-
fects all of the cities alike. 1t appears
from this showing that Washington's
per capita assessment has Increased by
500 and that the capital has advanced
in rank in this group from fourth to
second. This signifies that there is no
tendency toward underassessment in the
District but that on the contrary the ten
dency is toward a heavier assessment OF
taxable properties.

tax levy having increased Sab accord
ing to these figures. Its tax rate had re-
mained the same. but the assessment had
Increased sufficiently to make this differ
ence. Some remarkable changes appear
in the list, cities shifting up and down in
the ORDER but the point of immediate in
terest is that Washington's per capita

item of per capita tax levy is determined

Assessed Valuation.

+ Inasmuch as in his endeavor to demon
strate that Washington's per capita
wealth is greater than that of any other
American city. as an argument that the
people of the National Capital can afford
TO pay all their municipal expenses, Mr..
Prouty has used the assessed valuation
of ali properties, raised to the 100 per
cent basis. as the measure of affiuence it
Is necessary. for comparative purposes. to
bring. all of the assessed valuations of
this group of cities to the same point
When this is done the following result
appears. the cities being arranged in or
der of the size of the assessed valuations
thus expanded to the 100 per cent basis:
