MARYLAND and Gambling.

The District trusts that there will
be no such serious disagreement be-
tween the state and county authori-
ties in Maryland over the expenses
of the recent poolroom raid at
Myers station as to discourage future
activities in that section in enforcing
the law against gambling. The Dis
trict is dependent upon the officials
OF the adjacent state to a great ex-
tent for the maintenance of law and
order upon its borders. 1t was graft
fed at the activity shown in the
recent raid. which seems to have ef-
fectively discouraged the establish
ment and promotion of poolrooms
near the boundary, drawing their
patronage chiefly from this city. If
however, owing to failure to reach
a practical basis of understanding
the state and county authorities re-
nit in their efforts to enforce the
law the District will ultimately be
the chief sufferer. AS long as Mary
land enforces its prohibition again.,
gambling the District feels that it i:
we'll protected on the north and east
The amount involved in the contro.
versy between the state and the
county is comparatively slight and a
settlement should easily be reached

Personal Tax Appraisal.

Representative Pages complaint
against the methods OF the board OF
personal tax appraisers is practically
complaint against the personal tax
law itself. The appraisers are mere
ly following the statute III their
mode OF estimating the taxable per-
sonalty. 1t is their practice. as the
law directs. to furnish tax schedules
upon application. If the citizen files
this schedule the return is scrutinized
and in the majority OF cases it is
accepted. Last summer all unusual
number of returns were rejected ow-
ing to a failure to understand new
ruling regarding jewelry. If the re-
turn is not filed and the board has
reason to believe the citizen to be
subject to taxation rough estimate
is made upon the best obtainable in
formation--and with an appraisal
force OF only two men little can be
undertaken save the broadest guess
ing-and to this appraisal is added &c
pci Scit dS q PSAaity, oo eiiS IL" vi
rects. The chief object of this pen
atty is to bring the citizen before the
board, where he can explain his po-
sition and perhaps swear off his
taxes or make a return acceptable to
the board
Thus as the law stands the initia-
tive is placed upon the citizen. In
the case of Representative Page, the
appraisal OF which he complains was,
ii is understood, made by the board
in the light OF a return made by him
the year previous, with the usual
statutory 20 per cent penalty for a
failure to make fresh return
Though the law does not SO direct
the board might, as matter of ex-
pediency, furnish to all who are on
the books as personal taxpayers
blank returns each year without wait
ing for them to apply for them.

Mr.. 0'Gorman's Warning.

The most interesting feature of
yesterdays debate in the Senate was
the challenge of the New Leadership
by Mr.. O'Gorman. 1t was as direct
as that of Mr.. Clapp last week at
the White House The difference
between the two challenges relates
to the political affiliations of the
chailengers, and the importance Of
the states they represent.
Mr.. Clapp is a bull mooser of re-
publican extraction. and may return
to his old associations. His state
is not prominent in any presidential
calculation. As matters are heading,
II seems likely TO go republican next
year. II belongs in that northwestern
belt where protection and sound
money. when properly presented,
have always been strong.
Mr.. O'Gorman is a democrat. He
represents in part in the Senate a
state which is most prominent in the
presidential calculations of both par
ties. Moreover. he was the only New
Yorker of consequence who favored
Mr. Wilson for the Baltimore nomi-
nation and helped bring it about. He
did not join in Mr.. Bryan's outcry
against New York at the conven-
,ion. but was nevertheless a strong
supporter of the candidate for whom
Mr.. Bryan was working. He then
-eturncd home and aided Tammany

Jitney Bus Regulation.

The public utilities commission, it
is announced, has decided to treat the
"jitney bus" as a hack, and not as a
public conveyance. and will therefore
not undertake to regulate its rates or
operation and presumably will not
impose taxes upon it This raises an
interesting question, relative to the
distinction between the jitney bus
and the taxicab, over which the COM
mission now seeks to acquire juris-
diction through affirmation by the
United States Supreme Court of the
judicial decisions already rendered.
If the taxicab, operating without
routes and upon all the streets in
differently, is subject to regulation
surely the routed bus, plying on

Rejecting the Crosser Bill.

In the light OF findings by :. conf
rlittee, after q careful study. the
Chamber OF Commerce at its meeting
last night voted to record 1tseit
against the Crosser bill providing Tor
the ownership and operation OF street
railways by the District municipality
This emphasizes the public opposition
to the proposed legislation. which, II
enacted. would burden the District
With heavy bonded debt (poss1bfy
S50.000,000). for which the nited
States would repudiate all responsi-
biIity and thus in effect abro9atc the
hali-and-half principle. 1t has here
toiore been urged that i'll any event
TO step should be taken III this dt-
rection without public approval. ex-
pressed through referendum vote oI
the local taxpayers. such expressions
as that OF the Chamber or Commerce
indicate that this assent. in case OF
4 reference. would not be granted.
Municipal ownership OF Washing
ton street railways should not now be
considered: for the reason that gov
ernment regulation through an inde-
pendent and impartial public utilities
commission. which has been wisely
created by Congress, has not yet been
thoroughly tested; and resort to nlu-
nicipal ownership should be had only
in the event that government reguia-
tion through commission proves
failure
While regulation by utilities COM
mission IS thus under earnest and
searching test, municipal ownership,
with It's responsibilities and dangers
OF loss, is premature and unnecessary.
The Chamber OF Commerce based
its action last night on this ground.
The advocates OF municipal owner
ship on principle who believe that the
people Of the community should di-
rectly control public utilities should
be unalterably hostile to the Crosser
proposition; for it violates flagrantly
the principle that the people OF the
community, as taxpayers buying the
roads, should absolutely control them.
The Crosser bill proposes that after
the people OF the community have
burdened themselves with millions OF
debt to buy the roads the absolute
control OF the railways shall be
turned over to the District Commis-
sioners, who are not chosen by the
people OF the District, who cannot be
discharged by the people if they iail
to give satisfaction as railway man
ayers, and who are responsible in no
manner or degree whatsoever to the
local community for any rnismanage-
ment and loss on their part through
the biunders Of inexperience.
There results the paradox that pub
lie ownership OF the local railroads
as proposed by Mr.. Crosser means an
absolute reduction Of the public con-
troll OF those utilities This result
should offend and ALLEVIATE every sin
oere believer in the principle that the
people of community should con-
troll through ownership the public
utilities.

schedule. may properly be rated as a
public utility
Meanwhile the corporation coun-
sci has been asked for an opinion Or
| the subject Of the sightseeing auto
mobile, and thus the question of reg,
ulatiaa motor vehicles carrying pas
seneers for fixed rates broadens. Ir
this matter the point to be held clear
ly in view is that the cheap routed
bus is a competitor of the street car
which is operated as part Of an ex-
tensive plant and subject to heavy
taxation in payment for the privilege
of street use. 1t would be incquitable
to permit such competitors to be es-
tablished without any taxation what
ever. The street railway company
laws and maintains its own track and
/ is responsible for the care OF the
sire Il for a certain space beyond the
rails. 1t involves no expense upon
the city whatsoever. The motor ON
nibus, however, pays nothing tor
trackage or street pavement and yet
imposes detcriorating pressure up
on the pavements.
If the motor bus service can be
furnished to the people on reason
able terms, with convenient rout-
ing, it should be encouraged, bu,
not to the extent of permitting d
promiscuous use of the streets fol-
purposes OF competition with the
street railways, without any tax ex,
actions whatever and without careful
regulation as to conditions of service
