No Tax Reduction in 1902.

Note how low and how huctuating tho
assessments we're under the old law which
nominally included both intangible and
tangible personally in the valuation
And then note how as soon as the corrupt
conspirators of 1902 had done their nefa-
rious work of relieving untold millions ~
Intangible personally from taxation the
assessment jumped 30 per cent and the
collection under the assessment over 2cN
per cent. And note that instead OF huc-
tuating under the new law there has been
a steady and substantial increase OF the
assessment each year ever since.
Obviously the motive of the 1917. law
Was not to swindle Uncle Sam into con
tinuing the half-and- half plan by cutting
down corruptly the local tax revenue. or
if so, this criminal motive was mysteri-
ously baffled Either the corruptionists
of Washington had not bribed. AS insin-
uated. and weak and degraded Congress
had not been bribed suggested or
these conspirators Numbered and were
hoist with their own petard.
The crime of 1902 was thus in reality
a municipal virtue. a community benefit
If the Washington tax-dodgers and male
factors Of great wealth hypnotizcd
base and plant Congress into this lcRis
lation, designed to injure and to swindle,
their criminal designs were turned up
side down and Congress. like Balaam. un
dertakin: to curse. WAS compelled Ia
bless. For these swindlers who would
corrupt,y reduce the personally assess
ment ny many millions actually increased
this assessment 20 per cent. and multi
piled three-fold the cash collections I'M
der the assessments. Designing to cut
down the realty assessment By one-third.
or fifty eight millions. they actually in
creased this assessment by thirty-tWo mil
lions Designing to hide their taxable re-
sources in order to swindle Uncle Sam
they uncovered and EXPOSED them. Either
as constructors they we're idiots, OR they
were not conspirators at all.
Is there not an insult to Congress in
volved in every such suggestion that the
House and Senate have criminally par
ticipated in or weakly and basely Yielded
to swindlns conspiracy to secure cor
rurt legislation injuring the public for
private profit" In the light Of the dis
closed facts should not those who have
thus surred and slandered the Congress
and the Washington of 1872 feel sense
81 shame?

his tax contribution added to the levy

per capita than that of any other city
In the United States. more than

tions. Not one of tho cities enumerated
has SO few mOney-makinE resources

L. Clearly NnShingtOn's tax levy not
only averages up in actual figures with
th,>c of other American cities. but for
:bc reason stated 1t must he doubled in
order to make fair comparison with
ether cities. and even without this
doubling its tax-burden is, OWING to
its peculiar conditions. harder to he

March IA, 1914.

In the last analysis every one
OF the assaults upon the half-and-
halt law turns in final decision
upon the answer to be given to
the question: is the Washing
tonlan already paying as much
tax as he ought If his tax-bur-
den is now as heavy as should
fairly be imposed no reasonable
American, whether in or out of
Congress, will favor doubling or
increasing by fifty per cent his tax
assessment; or shifting from the
strong. broad shoulders OF Uncle
sam TO those OF the feeble local
community any further portion OF
the nations burden of capital
making: or blistering the Wash
lngtonlan with perjury-promotine,
veracity-punishing new taxes; or
extorting from him without due
consideration alleged ancient debts
that died. buried and decayed
forty Years ago, and, that. resur-
rected. violate all the decencies
by stalking abroad in their grave
clothes
The comparative tax-burden OF
the Washingtonian has ALREADY
been measured i'll detail in the
light OF the census figures OF 1910.
Study OF the recently published
census statistics OF 1912 develops
that the comparative tax burden
OF Washington has increased
within the two wears not only alb
solutely and substantially. but in
its relation to the other American
cities. The lessons taught by the
| 1910 figures are confirmed and
strengthened by the figures OF
1912.
! The burden imposed by Con
eress upon the local taxpayers is
fully as heavy as that which the
average sclisoverning municipal
\ 1ty imposes upon itself, and in
view OF the capitals lack OF tax

disabilities under which the Dis
