THE TAX REFORM BRIEF.
Sentiment that HaIf-and-
Half Plan Is Dead as. Door Nail.

Editor Herald: In a recent editorial
you have seen Mt to pass Judgment upon
the brief filed by the>Tax Reform As
ISOLATION with the joint committee which
Is investigating the fiscal relations be-
tween the United States and the District
OF Columbia. and TO condemn Il as prac-
ticalIy worthless.
The brief was published. not to please
the newspapers. but TO help the Con-
gressional Committee in its solution OF a
somewhat difficult problem-a problem
which affects the pOCketbOoks of every
Tent-payer and Taxpayer in the District.
We have set forth the origin of the half
and-half system We have shown how
under the present system of taxation. the
system has not been an unmixed good.
We have made fair comparison between
rates OF taxation in Washington and
other cities. We have submitted our con-
illusions and recommendations with incl
dental reference to our system Of taxa
ton and the form of our District govern
ment. which are more or less bound up
with the question of fiscal readjustment
Other briefs submitted no doubt contain
some reliable information. We do not
claim a monopoly OF truth. but We be-
lieve it will be found that We have pre-

without giving the victim a hearing,
ana after few days, to our profound
sstonishment. We discovered that Miss
Saveil. the busiest woman In Brus-
seis' had made a thorough investiga-
tIon OF the facts and the little maid
was Cleared. Miss. Cavell even offered
AZ her own expense to sue the de-
faner In the courts Of Justice, but the
girl. glad to be rid Of her nightmare
so easily. refused. and the matter was
stanch churchwoman. Miss Cavell
was imbued with the spirit of duty and
OF a generation before
whose eyes the ideals of the Old Tesla
ment had been held. We progresslyes
nave been wont for years to sneer lightly
al what we termed the early Victorian
virtues. The war has cleared our vision
and given us a truer sense of real values.
Before the spirit that will lose its life
rather than tell lie the widest cynic
must bow.
Miss Cavell could have saved herself
she was true to her faith and would NOT
lie.
Her death for the sake of the soldiers
she nursed and succored was a fitting
sequel to life of untiring altruistic dee
votion.
Worthy to stand by the side Of her
great sister. Florence Nightingale. the
name OF Edith Cavell shall be blessed by
countless generations of Englishmen. She
was strong In a faith that Is greater than
war lords and judges. and we. her coun-
trymen. believe. in spite OF all evidence
10 the contrary. that against this the
gates OF hell shall not prevail"

And yet some soon at the phrase irony
of fate" =
A theatrical mystery is romping up and
down the Rialto. 1t centers around two
mythical persons known as Paul Herve
and Jean Briquet" Whenever Adolph
Phillip produces a play these French
men are heralded as the authors. They
have gained quite a reputation in New
York.
But it is whispered that there are no
such persons as "Herve and Briquet."
Phillips is declared to be the author of
such plays as Little Boy Blue Alma"
Adele" The Midnight Girl and THE
Girl Who Smiles" "Herve and BriQuet"
were supposed to be the collaborators.
1t is a great laugh on the dramatic
critics. The last play that was produced
by these fictitious authors was roasted by
one critic, who said: THE play seems
to have lost flavor in crossing>the At
lantic." Phillips. it seems, wrote the
piece in the neighborhood of Times
Square.
1t is reported that Sing Sing is having
no trouble managing its new bank. They
have plenty OF tellers and cashiers.

ably. Under present conditions some Of
the states and provinces have less food
on hand than others.
New regulations will be made in or
