"If They Knew About It."

IL 4uGy Ane" ABOUT 1t,
Many patriotic citizens all over the
country. hearing of the threatened leg
islatlon. have written to their senators
and representatives against it, and
others would gladly do so if they knew
about it. There is no doubt about the
strong desire of our fellow -countrymen
to preserve the progress of their
National Capital and indeed to increase
the rate of progress. There is no doubt
that they want 1t to be made the best
capital on earth. and as rapidly as
possible. They realize that this cannot
be done by the comparatively few peo-
Pile who live here They do not be-
grudse the cents per capita which
they contribute as against the ST per
capita contributed here. They think it
only just that the whole country should
contribute at least one-half of the
ma intenance of the common capital, re-
gardless Of the fact that it owns at
least one-half in value of the real es
tate of Washington. and controls it
as strictly governmental city.
| IN presenting the facts to senators
and representatives we should especi
ally call their attention to the United
States census bulletin lis, of 1913,
giving the only official comparative
in the 1875 cities of the United States
having over 10000 population in 1912.
Official Figures Ignored.
These official figures are practically
ignored by the opponents of the half
| and-half plan. Yet they are the only
authoritative statistics and are, of
course. entirely impartial They give
complete answer to the statistics
| prepared by individuals attempting to
show that taxation and assessment are
| lower here than in cities generally.
| They show. we have repeatedly
| stated-first, that the per capita as
sessment of property in Washington
| was sl.050 in 1912 and that this was
more than the per capita assessment
in 1876 of the 1875 cities. Second, that
the per capita tax levy, which is the
assessment and the rate combined, and
| is the only true measure of comparison,
was $l5.75 in Washington, which was
more than the per capita tax levy in
149 out of the 1875 cities. Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New Orleans, Seattle.
Jersey City, Kansas City, indianapolis.
Louisville, ST. Paul, Atlanta, Toledo.
Columbus. Worcester, Birmingham.
Memphis, Scranton and other great
| manufacturing and commercial cities
| of much greater wealth than the Ma
| tional Capital age among those having
a lower per capita tax levy.
| These figures were not complied by
us or by the District of Columbia gov
eminent. but by the United States gov
eminent. They ought to be conclusive
| with Congress"

agreed to yesterday.
The ceremony will take place in tho

on the board
1t is doubtful if the history OF tho

of where a retiring Commissioner has
administered the oath of office to his
successor.
Mr.. Brownlow expects to receive his
commission to serve as a. member or

tomorrow. and also to complete ar

committee gave the department store
men and other bosses a chance to be
heard in opposition to the proposed
minimum wage law for women and

such a measure and begged that the
legislature would not pass it and re-
duce their profits by forcing them to
pay higher wages.
And in the morals court stood a
woman who had been arrested for
