REVISE DEMANDS
UPON NEW HAVEN
Railroad Must Dispose of
Sound Steamship Lines, Say
Government Attorneys.

Department of Justice attorneys in
charge of the New Haven dissolution. at
their conference today with the road S
counsel revised their demand that the
New Haven prepare to get rid of its So
called Sound steamship lines The de-
mand came as a surprise to New Haven
officials and to officials of the department
itself not directly connected with the ne
gotiations.
The announcement several weeks ago
by Chairman Howard Elliott that the
railroad and the department had agreed
to agree declared that the New Haven
should rid itself of its outside steamship
lines. but said plainly that determination
of the Sound lines question should be left
to the interstate commerce commission.
Under the Panama canal act no railroad
is permitted without the commission s
authority to own and operate steamship
lines after July 1.

County Taxes in 1912 Census.

When Washington is shown to be
heavily taxed by comparison of its CEN
sus figures with those of the other cities
of it's class, the attempt is made to slur
this showing by the claim that only city
taxes are compared in the census bulle-
tins. and that county taxes, which Wash
ington does not have to bear. must be
added to the per capita tax levy of the
other cities, in order that there may be
fair comparison of tax burdens. In the
House debates on the subject 1t has been
asserted, in the face Of the showing made
nv the census, that Washington Is the
highest taxed city in the United States

county taxation in the census COMPARE

Rut in the census bulletin recently pub

taxation enters into the calculation in the
cities of Washington's class. The theory
that county taxation must be added to
the census figures of all other cities than
washington to render fair intercity COM
parsons falls to the ground. In eight of
these eighteen cities washington and
seven others the county and city. or
ganizations are merged. In the ten 9TH

the number whose per capita tax levies
is 147: more than Washington. Al. This
citys comparative per capita taxation
has increased relatively since 1910 in
which year only 129 cities had smaller
per capita levies and 33 cities exceeded it.

Compare these speculative proposed tax
levies with those actually imposed
throughout the United States. Applied to
resourceless Washington they are clearly
bankrupting and confiscatory.
Questioning the fairness Of these COM
parsons of per capita tax levy objection
is raised that the census figures do not
take into account county and state as
well as city taxes, aad that Washington,
which has no county or state taxes bene-
fits by this omission.
