Plea for the Unrepresented Taxed.

1.-The fact that in the District taxes
are not self-imposed as elsewhere in
the United States makes it the more
essential that in equity taxing body
in which the taxed are not represented
should to certainty avoid double tax
alton and any other tax eXaction that
| is obviously excessive and unjust.
Congress should not. for example. I'M
pose "a more drastic tax on intangibles
in the District than neighboring Mary
land imposes upon itself. No state with
a classified low rate personally tax
taxes all forms of intangibles i'll the
fashion apparently proposed for WASH
ington. Maryland. for instance. does
not tax mortgages; it does not tax bank
deposits of non-reSidents of resi-
dents unless they bear interest. and
according to Judge Lesser of the tax
| commission the question is before the
courts whether all bank deposits are
not exempt: it does not tax book ac-
counts or in general reproductive
securities or credits.
IF the District is to be taken from
the class of states which do not tax in
tangibles. i.e.. Delaware, Washington
state and Idaho, and put into the class
of states dixie Maryland) which tax
lightly certain forms of intangibles
then at least every equity and every
safeguard against double taxation
which applies in Maryland or in any
other of these states should with scru-
pulous care be applied in similar taxa
ton of the District
''Washingtons hope is that the joint
congressional committee, in accordance
with the purpose for which 1t was Gre
ated. will treat the intangibles tax pro-
vision of the last session as merely
t"tro'iv. aud suggestive and will give

She was deep among her mental abb

desolate story. She had a truly sym
pathizing auditor and when Ridley
had gone Susie felt that she had at
least one good friend in the world.
Then came further distress for the
devoted Susie. She returned to her
old position, but only for a week. For
q month poor Susie was down with
contagious fever.
She was wan and debilitated when
the consuming fever left her. Her
pale cheek flushed as gradually her
nurse told her all about the three
weeks blank in her life

Susie sitting up and on the road to

said mysteriously more than once, Il

Then one morning, when Susie was
able to walk about the room, Ridley
quietly drew a small volume from his
pocket. He handed 1t to her. Susie
sat transfxed

Susie cried. She could not help it.
And then she smiled and a great glad
ness surged up in her heart at the
words from Ridley.

Billy Gibson, who conducted a small
boxing club. told of a bout be-
tween Montana Dan Sullivan, a
middleweight, and a rough, rug
ged fellow who was noted for
his punching powers, but who was
rather slow afoot. Montana Dan APP
parently held his opponent in great re-
spect. He would approach the rough
lad cautiously, make a light lead at
him, and then skitter away to far
corner of the ring. This went on for
a short time, with the crowd watch
ing silently, until finally Dan reached
out quick left and jabbed the rough
one lightly on the chin. That's right,
Dan," came a thin. piping and very
weary voice from the cheapest seats.
That's right! Antagonize him, Dan;
