down amid tremendous applause.
However. another orator arose and
propounded opposite reasons for open
ports and no determination was
reached.
Astra and her. mother.in-law were
sitting in the library at the Crystal
Palace depressed and sad. The uncer-

sleepless nights.
Thus they had lived. day after day.
hopefully and fearfully.
The life Of the woman who had
been the handspring Of all their
troubles was different. The Princess
Rositta had never been happier than
now. The twenty-nrst aerodromone
was finished. and she. like . general,
would drill her flying squadron per
sonally.
Rositta had acquired great skin in
handling the aerodromone. and she
could execute the capturing act very
easily. She was loved by the whole
crew. which was composed Of men
from noble families.
These men admired their leader.
they were hypnotized by her charms
and she handled them 90 that they
were, as one man, ready to i've their
lives for her.
After a successful maneuver day
Rositta gave the order to her men to
gather In the large hall The hall was
the schoolroom where Santos taught
them the art Of aviation In theory.
There were forty men in all-youns,
vigorous, brave and bold. When Ro-

band. cheer rang out: "Hurrah for
our prineess!"
She walked to the platform, and her
clear voice rang through the hall:

Sln2le-taN presents itself to
Washington in two contradictory
aspects. First. as the benencene
DR.. Jekyll. who would ease the
local tax-burden, by distributing
it more equitably, removing or re-
ducing the tax on enterprise and
public spirit in the levy on realty
improvements, eliminating or de-
creasing the tax on honesty an:l
conscientious veracitv in the levy
on personally, and largely increas-
ing or substituting for all other
taxes the just and uniform levy on
land values with their unearred
increment. Second. as the dc
structive Mr.. HYDE. who would
more than double the Washinstl.-
mans present heavy tax-burden.
who would repel national par
ticipation in capltal-upbuilding
and DESTROY the hali-and-half law,
and who would BY excessive tax
alton contiscate TO the state with

other would destroy. Washing

OF the witnesses The essentials of the
subsequent assaults upon Washington arc
condensed in mutually apprsriatIve
dla loEuc Of evidence between Mr. Browne
and Mr. George. in which Witness Browne
said:
II account for it on the theory that
the assessors are. and for the last TWEEN
ty-odd years have been. confronted With
the obvious fact that il they assessed
the real estate of Washington adequately

This conversation imrutes deliberate
and long continued underassessment Of
District realty in order to deceive the
nation into continuing an unnecessary
half contribution toward capital main
