PLEASED BY REPORT
ON FAKE AUCTION BILL
Local Merchants Heartily Approve
Course of Subcommittee of Senate
District Committee.

The prompt reporting Of the fake auc-
ton bill by the judiciary subcommittee OF
the Senate District committee to the full
committee has met with the hearty ap-
proval of local merchants, says Charles J.
Columbus, secretary Of the Retail Mer-
chants Association.
Fake auctions are a disgrace to the
National Capital. The Retail Merchants
Association has been waging this cam
paign against them for some time. and
consequently complaints have come to our
offices. Our Office reports, as well as the
complaints reaching the district attor-
neys office in the Police Court, indicate
that hundreds Of visitors as well as Wash
ingtonians have been tricked.
1.-The fake auction bill has already pass
ed the House. In submitting a report to
that body Representative Ben. johnson,
who introduced the bill at the request Of
the Retail Merchants Association, de-
cIared that Washington seems to have
become the mecca for fake auctions. Not
only local residents, but thousands OF Visi-
tors from the states are made their vic
Tins
unfortunately. there is no present law
to catch the fake auctioneer. but the
bill now before the Senate will certainly
put an end to this nefarious practice. and
we have every reason to expect that the
Senate will take the short time necessary
to give the District and citizens of the
country generally the benefit of this very
necessary legisla ton before adjournment"
concluded Mr.. Columbus.

LABOR RAPs AT RALPH.
Philadelphia Central Union Scores
Oppositiou to Conversation Act.

Delegates to the Central Labor Union
of Philadelphia and vicinity at a meet
ing Wednesday night in that city adopt
ed resolutions condemning the action
of Joseph E. Ralph, director Of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing. for
what they described as his unfair and
hostile attitude to the workmen's COM
pensation act and the claimants under
it."
The resolutions urge the passage of
the so-called Carlin bill for the pro-
lection of American labor and American
capital as the only remedy against this
species of aggression by officials of the
United States government"
Mr.. Ralph was criticised for aiding
and assisting in establishing plate
printing plants owned and operated by
foreign capital and alien labor which
enter into competition with American
plate printers and deprive them of en-
plovment."
On the action of the union copies of
the resolutions will be sent to many
public officers who have to DO with
legislation and with the conduct of the
bureau.

Founders of the Jonadabs.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In articles upon the death of our be-
loved fellow citizen, James Croggon, 1
see it is stated that he was the sole
surviving founder of the Sons of Jona-
dab. 1t seems to me that this is not
really the case. The Sons of Jonadab
was organized in September. 1867. and
held it's first meeting the early part
of that month. In the National Repub-
lican for September 16, 1857. appears
the following notice, which may prove
of interest to the members of the
fraternity:
Another Temperance Organization
Last Friday evening a meeting was
held at the residence of Mr.. Asbury
Lloyd. No. 3Ss E street. for the purpose
of forming a new temperance organiza-
ton. Messrs. Samuel C. Mills, Alder
man A. Lloyd, J. j. Campbell, E. c.
Ecklof, James Croggon. Gen. W. p.
Lassalle and others participated and
the Sons of Jonadab was chosen as
the title Of the organization"
Immediately after this initial meet
ing the constitution was printed by one
of its founders. John H. Cunningham.
a well known printer of that period. A
copy, which 1 have before me. bears
the date 1867, and the constitution be-
gins as follows:
we. whose names are appended
hereto, knowing the evil effects of in
temperance, and the virtues and bene-
fits of temperate. orderly life, and
being desirouS of contributing all of
our power and influence in behalf of
the unfortunate victims of strong and
Intoxicating drinks in our midst and
believing that the most effectual and
certain way of protecting ourselves
against this insidious and dangerous
enemy, and relieving and saving our

MULTIPLE TAXATION
UNJUST ON COMMUNITY
Proposed Tax on Intangibles Would
Work Hardship-Inquiry Into
Subject Welcomed.
To the Editor Of The Star:

The carefully considered editorial
correspondence of Mr.. Theodore w.
Noyes on Unfair Taxation of Intan-
gibles." merits the attention of all tax
reformers. All double, all multiple tax
alton. carries its own evidence of un-
fairness. of injustice. Real estate.
whether mortgaged or free. is taxed in
the first instance. To tax the mort
gage means inevitably. as soon as the
readjustment takes place. an increase
in the rate of mortgage interest by the
amount of the tax. Thereby the burden
on the holder of mortgaged real estate
is increased over that on the holder Of
unmortgaged real estate. Why make
real estate investment more difficult? :?
Congress has just passed a rural credits
act to cheaper farm mortgages.
Intangible property in the last analy-
sis always assumes some form of credit
instrument, which rests on a founda-
ton of taxed tangible property. Bank
deposits are credits Offset by prac-
tically equal volume of debts Tax the
credits and the burden is shifted inn
mediately by increased interest rates to
the debts.
