HAD Il not been for the objection Of
Representative Johnson of Kentucky the
House might have passed yesterday the
bill permitting commissions in the Ma
tional Guard Of the District of Columbia

perience elsewhere. Representative Kahn
of California. author of the bill, explain
ed that under the present law no man
Ii the guard can be commissioned second

PLAN TO CANCEL OLD TAXES.
0utlawed by Limitation, $4,000
May Be Dropped.

Unpaid tax accounts aggregating
thousands of dollars may be Cancelled
by the District as a result of the ref
erence to the corporation counsel to-
day of the question of whether or not
there is any statute or rule of law
which bars the collection of taxes on
real estate after a given length of
time.
/, is stated that the collectors books
carry about S15o.00o in unpaid taxes
from the year 1876 to 1910, and the
commissioners want to know II there
is any reason why they should not
cancel the accounts since they are con-
sldered practically uncollectable.
In the settlement of estates pay
ments sometimes are made in order to
clear up titles, but these instances are
rare The Commissioners probably viii
order the cancellation of all taxes
which may be found to be barred by a
statute Of limitations.

Let us hope, AS We stand aghsst

This emergency was not contem-
