Mr.. Bryan's Slip.

In a dispatch from Los Angeles Mr..
Bryan is quoted as speaking Of "the
victory of Pinchot and Beveridge over
the republican nominees"
Evidently a misQuotation, or else
Mr.. Bryan, for the moment, was con.
fused about matters.
Mr.. Pinchot and Mr.. Beveridge are
the republican nominees, and achieved
victory as republican candidates.
Neither would have been in the run.
ming except as a republican in good
standing and a supporter Of the Presi.
dent and his administration. Both
made the case plain in their cam.
paigns, and since their nominations
have pledged themselves afresh to re.
publicanism.
If anybody, anywhere, however. is
in doubt on this point he will soon be
set right by Mr.. Pinchot and Mr..
Beyeridge themselves. When they be.
gin their appeals for election they will
do so as republicans who if successful
at the polls will work in harmony
with their party. They do not deny or
apologize for their bull moose records,
but have later republican records to
stand on and are standing on them.
There is factionism in the republic.
an party at present, growing out OF
several questions. the tariff and the
bonus among the number. But it does
not threaten to reach the proportions
Of bull moosery. and Mr.. Pinchot and
Mr.. Beveridge and other men who
were prominent in the bull moose
movement are Of opinion that it is
composable and are active in efforts
to compose it.

MY personal view is that, 50 far as
concerns the only important benefits
received by the citizen Of a state
(who lives in city, in consideration
of his state tax, Washington enjoys
no comparable benefit whatever, and
on the principle laid down by Mr.
Bealea. all state taxes should be ex-
cluded from the calculations.
What are tho benefits enjoyed by
the citizen Of a state which constitute
the real consideration for the state
taxes which he pays? II he lives in a
large city OF the state, is it the drib-
let of state expenditures which the
counties permit to get through to the
city? No. The state tax which he

In 1915 and again In 1918 for use
in congressional committee hearings
this committee prepared financial conn.,
parisons from every conceivable an
gle Of about a dozen typical Amer
ican cities. including especially a
great variety Of per capita COMPARE
sons.
With the new census figures Of
1920 available we set to work to make
similar comparisons for 1920. But
comparisons for that year. we found,
cannot be made with the same full
ness as In 1915 and 1918.
The census bureau in its bulletins
concerning the financial statistics of
cities over $4,000 In population sup
piled the figures on which our COM
parisons of 1915 and 1913 were based.
But this bulletin in 1920. the year of
the general decennial enumeration, is
omitted by the census bureau.
In order that we might not be en-
tirely without significant comparisons
for 1920. Mr.. Starke NJ. Grogan,
statistician for the citiEens' joint
fiscal committee. sent the customary
census inquiries concerning the most
important of the city financial sta
tistics to list of typical American
cities and received full answers from
nearly all of them.
We are thus enabled to submit a
table of interesting and significant
comparisons Of typical American
cities in 1920, utilizing the figures Of
the 1920 census in the per capita
comparisons.
Washington is at disadvantage in
per capita comparisons on account
not only Of the excessive percentage
OF property exempt from taxation, but
also from the much larger percentage
OF transients and non-taxpayers in
the city's population. who figure in
the city's census enumeration, but
not in its tax list. This disadvantage
IL notably increased in connection
with tho census enumeration of 1920.
The $4,000 population Of the District
OF Columbia under the census Of
1920 includes considerable fraction
still remaining in the city Of about
100000 civilian war workers. invited
to the capital by the President and
Congress in the business Of war max
Ing at the capital headquarters. All
the old disadvantages in per capita
comparisons remain. and to them this
new disadvantage Is added.
In spite. of these disadvantaees
Washington makes a very fair show.
Ing in these comparisons.
