Tax Reform in Washington.
(ShrevepOrt Times.)


 The city of Washington is governed by a commission of three appointed by the president. Two of the com missioners are taken from civil life and one is an army officer. The two civil commissioners are Oliver P. Newman and +. l.. Siddons.
 One-half of the citys local gov ernment expenses are paid by the fed eral government. The other half is raised by the general property tax prevailing elsewhere. The half-and- half system has usually been defend ed on the plea that the federal gov ernment is large property owner It's practical effect has been to make taxes of large holders of land so low that they can easily afford to, hold much of it out of use. The result has been to make Washington a city oi exorbltant rents. Exorbitant rents have compelled the poorer classes tc crowd in the alleys, and have made the slum districts of the city the most disgraceful in the country.
 But District Commissioner Oliver P Newman has now taken hold of mat ters. He has urged that the half-and- half system be abolished, and, district revenues be raised by tax on land values alone, under which the federal government will pay in proportion tC the amount of property it owns. He has. moreover. presented this plan tc President Wilson for consideration. So, in spite of the nd-holding in.

The Gospel According to
 ST. MATTHEW.
CHAPTER il.

CHAPTER il.
 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
 2. Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, ne sent two of his disciples,
 3. And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
 4. Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
 ,. The blind receive. their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
 6. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
 2. And as they departed, Jesus be- gan to say unto the multitudes con- cerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A read shaken with the wind
 8. But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft rain ment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings houses.
 9. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
 10. For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee
 Il. Verify l say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
 IF. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
 IS. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
 IA. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
 15. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
 16. But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children

son Woodrow, author of "The Black
 Pearl" and several other novels,
 said: There is no place in woman's
 life for jealousy. If she is married
 and her husband comes to her and says that he no longer cares for her, that he loves another woman, the thing to reply is Co, and l hope you make her happy!' One can have no patience with the dog-in-the-manger woman. As for the usual methods by which jealousy manifests itself, they are an insult to anybody" continued the writer. And l am inclined to be- lieve the jealous wife, through her very jealousy, achieves the result she fears. An honest man, continually accused of unfaithfulness, is not un- likely to yield to the repeated sug- gestions. There are women with whom l think jealousy must be a condition, disease" concluded Mrs. Woodrow, pitying note in her voice. And it is the most charitable explanation of them.

The South and the Canal.

There can be no doubt that whatev- CT the benefit arising from the con- struction of the Panama canal the South will receive large share there of. The nature and extent of the com merclal change to ensue cannot now be definitely determined. But there are certain general tendencies which seem inevitable.
 The vast valley of the Mississippi must ever remain the productive DOT tion of the United States. Threading this immense territory is a drainage system which can be utilized for trans. portatlon. True, the railroads seem almost to have destroyed the old "riv- CT days" for passenger service. Yet there are indications of a revival in this; and for the uses of freight ship ment 1t is inevitable that there shall be tremendous increase. The canal will stimulate this. Indeed, no one dare predict how far the canal will turn the tide of shipment downward through the valley to one or more gulf ports, thence eastward or vest ward to seek, by water, the far mar kets of the world.
 If we were to venture upon a pre- dictiOn it would be that the triumph ant success of the canal building will demonstrate the feasibility of dyk- ing the Mississippi, and that this in- ternal improvement will be the next great constructive work of the nation- al government The redemption of the overflow lands will be of incal- culable advantage to the fast-crowd- ing population of the country, and the fertile states bordering the banks of the mighty river will receive popu- latlon and produce wealth which will place them in the forefront of all the states of the union.

CITY EXPENSE RISING.

The census figures on the cost of city government of cities of over 3O,- 900 population show that the cost of municipal administration has been in creased in the past ten years 3S per cent, or from $1S.02 per capita to $17.34 according to tho Pittsburgh Dispatch.
 The $17.34 per capita represents as expenditures for the general muni- cipal government, police, fire. all other protection to persons and prop crty, conservation of health, canita- tion and the promotion of cleanliness, highways. charities, hospitals and correction, education, recreation, mis- cellaneous and general. excluding public service enterprises. The in- crease for police has been but 32 cents per capita, for fire but 20 cents and for education $1.41, total in- crease for these three of $1.93. The other $2.39 of the increase was prob.  ably due to new or enlarged activ, ities in municipal administration playgrounds, recreation, sanitatio. and health. in which great stride; have been made in the decade.
 So while the percentage of iacreas, seems startling. it is seen on analysis that it is traceable to expanded func tions rather than any marked extra vagance. The increase for educa ton probably the largest single fact or, Will be accepted as a good invest ment and so with the social services health. sanitation and T recreatio: which have been in line with tn, trend of public opinion.

 21. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
 P. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

Cause of the Delay.

Recently man who lives ill the West was notified over the telephone that a horse belonging to him had broken from the pasture and had been killed by the cars. Calling farm hand, he told him to go to the meadow and skin the horse.
 What's that?' exclaimed the farm hand. Do you mean to say that Frank is dead?"
 ~ What's that to you?" imperiously demanded the grouchy boss. 'Go and do as I tell you"
 The farm hand departed and 1t wasn't until several hours later that he reappeared.
 "I've been skinnin' that hoss," an- swered the farm hand in response to the boss question.
 "Skinnin' the horse!" exclaimed the boss, heatedly. "Do you mean to say that it took you five hours to do it?"
 "No, sir" was the startling re- joinder of the farm hand. T was nearly two hours ketchin him. Philadelphia Telegraph. j.

FARMERS MUST ORGANIZE.

The spectacle of farmers of Jef- ferson county carting back to the farm cantaloupes and tomatoes pe- cause of inability to dispose of these at any price, considered with the fact that Pine Bluff housekeepers have been paying and may now be paying more than 75 cents per dozen for cantaloupes and upwards Of 2O cents per dozen for tomatoes, is one that should provoke study of causes of the situation with view to remedyi2g matters.
 Unless this is done, it will not be many months before farmers in this section will begin to think that grow ing truck does not pay, when as matter of fact, truck crops should be the most profitable, and are the most profitable when rightly handled.
 Pine Bluff is excellently situated as shipping point. The ground and climate is all that the trucker could desire. The only drawback appears to be in ability to dispose of his produce when crops are maturing rapidly. To remedy this they must organize and cooperate in market ing their products. A commission merchant cannot deal with one farmer alone, there is not enough in the lot to enable him to make a profit. By organizing, studying the needs of the different markets, ascer- taining the best time to plant in order to get the best prices, truck growers of the Pine Bluff country can derive greater returns from truck than from cotton, corn Or any other one crop. This will entail only organization and cooperation, shipping in car load lots.
 The Pine Bluff housewives who may be puzzled over the fact that they are paying three and four times as much for vegetables as the farmers are receiving, might find the solution of their problem in pub lie market. Of course, if one wants to sit at the telephone and order from the grocer articles that arel scarce; articles that are shipped in from some other state, and havc| these delivered in small quantity, one must expect to pay a price sufficient not only to cover the price the pro ducer receives but the commission of the broker, freight. hauling, the re- tailer's cost of operation-including telephone and delivery service-and also his profit.
 With a central market, where the housewife or her servant can go with basket and purchase the articles de- sired, the producer and the consumer are brought together; freight charges, middlemen D costs and profits are el1m- mated. The producer will receive more and the consumer pay less.
 But neither of these solutions can be encompassed as long as the farmer on one hand, tries to work independ- cntly of his fellows, and as long asI the housewife wants to market over the telephone.

 FALSINlERS.

Those political demagogues "ho are telling the people that the couh- try is on the verge of ruin are olros Of iii omen and they are making statements at variance with the facts declares the Woman'sl National Weekly, which asserts: B.
 The crops promise to be the largest in the country's history and tue nr;ces are high. This means an ad- dition of billions of dollars to the conntry,s wealth. Certainly such conditions do not justify any but the most optimistic forecasts.
 So far as Wall street is concerned it would be better for the entlre country if it perished from the earth. It is nothing but a gigantic gambling institution, with interruptions money changers at the helm. Look at the flunctuations in stocks and bonds. Why should value move radically up ward and downward without any req son beyond the imagination of the gambler. When men play faro bank the bettor guesses whether card will win or lose. If many guess the same way and are in luck, the house loses and vice versa Wall street is simply a huge faro bank with no limit to the size of the bets. The same may be said of cotton and grain exchanges where men gamble on what the market will do.
 While all the gambling is going on the intrinsic values of the articles gambled in have neither lost nor gained fraction. The country should pay no attention to the walls of the stock gamblers who are fast losing their grip on the nation.
 The new currency law already has taken great power from Wall street. Last year Secretary McAdoo loaned the country banks money with which to move the crops. Before that incl dent Wall street had managed to concentrate control of the country's cash, and when time arrived to move crops Wall street played the role of a Shylock. This year the banks ill the different sections of the countr, announce that they have plenty ol money for crop purposes, which means that the stranglc hold of Wal street has been broken.
 The walters declare the new tariff is the cause of hard times. This is the limit of perversion. Mill opera tors say their business is booming Wool is higher than for years. St are hides and so are many other articles. The sugar barons how about the tariff being taken off theil product. Now let us look at the facts The men who grow wheat and grail live oa their farms and are happ, and contented.
 During the panic of 1893 wher money was almost unobtainable thu man who owned corn land could bor row the cash. In the sugar growing sections the men who owned th' sugar plantations live ia Ney Orleans and other cities and live lik princes. They use thousands O mules in the sugar fields. but fe, raise corn to feed the mules.
