RICARDO TAP|A
MEXICO s HOPE

If Mexico takes a match from
the United States team in the
Davis Cup tie that begins at the
Club Deportivo Chapultepec in
Mexico City Friday tennis follow.
erS Of the Republic will be content.
Ricardo Tapia is counted on to
take that match. He is MeXico'S
No. player.
Two years ago he carried Frank
ChieldS to five sets and dupli-
Gated Vines last year. He won
a 13-to-11 set from Vines.
Later, Vines wrote, If Tapia
would dedicate himself to tennis
he would be one of the best play
ers in the world"
Tapia recently became a doc
tor.
After Tapia, linda ranks next
in Mexican tennis. He is the
Howard Kinsey Of Mexico-a re-
liable, dependable player.
Mestre, who will be making his
debut in Davis Cup play, is the
son Sof the father of Mexican
lawn tennis, Don Eduardo Mestre
Chigliaza. He was developed by
his father for international play.
When only IA, he went to Chicago
and finished in the seni-finals
of the boys tournament.
Acosta learned tennis at Ok
ford University. With less in
difference he might rate second
only to Tapia.
Roldan is known as a brilliant,
but erratic player.

FR|SCH BETTER
At SECOND

Frank F'risch's appearance at
shortstop for the Cardinals has
proven to st. Louis club owners
that their farm chains do not
always provide the material when
needed. The st. Louis club has
about half dozen good short
stops on its lisS Of players, but
the man thought the most avail
able for the Job was Frisch and
the veteran is not going to sup
ply the fielding brilliance he did
at second base.
Colbert Wounded
When Charley Colbert was
wounded by his own shotgun in
the off season the Cards own
ers did not waste any time about
looking for a man for his place.
First, they made the Cincinnati
club a big offer for Leo Duro-
cher, the talkative Shortstop. The
Reds, .:rangely enough, turned
down the bid.
Then the Cards chief moved on
to Chicago to try and pry the
veteran Mark Koenig away from
the Cubs, but that offer failed
to bring the player whose bat
helped push the Cubs into their
1882 flag. Then the deal for
Gordon Slade, of Brooklyn, was
put through. Slade was so weak
with the stick the st. Louis club
owners decided to try some ex-
perimentS.
None Qualified
There were three men in the
st. Louis minor chains who were
considered for the job, but none
qualified to the satisfaction Of
Gabby Street; so he decided to
revamp the ever-ready Frisch.
Until the Cards are able to
land another shortstop, F'riscn
will stay on the job.
Members of the Chicago and
Pittsburgh teams say that Pepper
Martin never will be a third
baseman. They point out that if
Pepper is lucky enough to geT in
front of q ball there is no tell
ing where he will throw 1t.
Therefore, the shortstop vacancy
may force the st. Louis team
out Of the race, for there ap-
pears to be no capable man loose
who could fill up that gap and
let Frisch 60 to third.

NEEDSHELP

When Paul Derringer was
blazing his trail through the
batters of the National League
two years ago he had for his
tutor Burleigh Grimes. Grimes
would 60 over the batters with
Derringer before the youthful
hurler faced his foes. There
was not a man that Grimes did
not check up on, and this aided
Derringer a lot.
Last year Derringer had to go
along by himself, much like Lon
Warneke has done since Rogers
Hornsby left the staff of Chi
cago's best minds. Warneke is
coming around all right. He
studies batters and that low
curve ball of his will stop many
teams this season.
Derringer is developing, but he
is finding the task harder than
Warneke did after hornsby dis

Districts Intangible Tax
Is the Heaviest ImpOst

To the Editor of The Star
On the authority Of the Christian
Science Monitor Of June /, 20 States
have adopted the personal income tax.
The tax seems to be on the average /
per cent gross as minimum. and the ex-
emptions cited are from $725 to 81 900.
Here in the District the tax analogous
to the income tax that We are consid-
ering Is the Intangible property tax Of
one-half Of / per cent on. roughly
speaking. all money at interest, with
no exemptions, except $500 in saw
ings account. non-checking.
Now consider, If you please, the de-
pendent class Of our population. as to
whom society has recognized its re-
sponsibility. Many in this category
have succeeded by thrift in providing
for themselves, taking the burden of
support from society. to their own in
tense satisfaction. Not being able 70
work, they live, Of course, upon money
at interest.
Five hundred dollars year will per-
haps support one person, but with moth
ing to spare, and this income requires
$4,000 at interest, II only normal risk
be taken.
Half Of / per cent. the intangible
property tax on $4,000 Is $50, which
Is the exact equivalent Of 10 per cent
income tax with no exemptions.
To the best of my knowledge and be-
lief. this is the heaviest tax on record.

clan. It came about through the opera
ton of laws immutable and rigid. That
verdict is definitely confirmed by all
historians capable Of comprehensive
unprejudiced view of the various factors
involved.
Granted that "our generation may
not have been endowed with any spe-
cial genius of its own, 1t still remains
patiently obvious that it has had no
particular monopoly Of stupidity, self
ishness or belligerency. 1t has been
no more sunk in folly than its prede-
cessors There always has been a
"frightful mess" in the world, and only
gradual improvement ever has been
feasible Toward that evolutionary
gain the seniors Of today have made
generous contribution. The earth Is
better place in which to live in 1888
than it was in 1898, and the young
graduates now emerging from the Ma
tion's schools have a distinct advantage
over their forerunners. The immediate
prospect may be bleak and oarren' put
it is not different in kind from that
which "our generation" faced.
1t is difficult to have patience with
individuals who are SO afflicted with
fixed ideas of inferiority as to imagine
all their contemporaries worthless.
Such pessimists do the race little
service by suggesting that human des-
tiny rests exclusively in the hands OF
youth. That notion Is fallacy.
Certainly "our generation" wishes to
help the men and women of tomorrow.
But it Is in no way genuinely helpful
to imply that all the problems of the
universe perforce must be delivered to
them for solution The oldsters still
have work to do. The youngsters may
join with them in the task. Neither

Independent Offices Act
Will Cause DismissaIs

Tc the Editor Of The Star.
Your editorial of June 16, 1898, re-
lating to economy legislation passed at
the recently adjourned Congress as
affecting Government employees would
create the impression that the fur
Tough clause (section o. of the inde-
pendent Offices bill is a favorable piece
of legislation for the employees, mas
much as it authorizes a rotative fur
Tough system. On the contrary. this
section will undoubtedly adversely af-
feet thousands. In my opinion, sight
has been lost of the fact that section
PIG Of the legislative appropriation act
Of 1888. as amended, and as carried
out during the current fiscal year, in
augurated and made mandatory upon
the departments to furlough and not
dismiss Gin express terms) employees
Consequently, not one single civil service
emplOye was dismissed for reasons OF
economy up to the passage OF the new
law. it being contrary to law to do so.
Not one single employe was thrown into
the streets without job. The new
furlough clause, however, repeals sec
tion ZIG and leaves 1t discretionary with
the departments to furlough or dismiss.
There is no question that as a result
of this legislation thousands of Gov
ernment employees, many of whom make
barely living wage 1,200 to $1,000,
less IS per cent and less 3ik per cent
fer retiremenD will now lose their jobs
and join the breadlines, whereas under
previous legislation, bad as 1t was, all
employees contributed their share by
taking furlough without pay, so that
that none had to be thrown upon
charity without Jobs.

widened, with the sacrifice Of sidewalk
space and the removal Of shade trees.
A few years ago it was even proposed
to slice of a portion Of Franklin Square
to effect q wider driving space.
In the downtown streets the sacrifice
of trees though deplorable, has not been
strenuously resisted, but the gain in
traffic accommodation has not effected
any appreciable advantage, in view Of
the fact that parking continues to be
permitted, so that the net addition to
the driving space has not been material
If the proposed change at Thomas
Circle were executed, there would be no
security whatever for any Of the other
beauty spots of the Capital. This cir
Gle has in the present situation stood
as a symbol, and 1t Is now highly graft
flying that the Commission of Fine Arts
has, with a view to the preservation OF
the city plan, expressed its strong dis
approval of a project which, If carried
out, would undoubtedly have led the way
to other encroachments, and perhaps
displacements, Of doubtful utility and
of assured harm to the character of the
Capital.

Thomas Circle.

Emphatic disapproval by the Com
mission Of Fine Arts of the proposal
to rearrange the layout OF Thomas
Circle, at the intersection OF Fourteenth
and M streets and Massachusetts ave-
nue.. should cause the abandonment of
this plan. which has evoked protests
from many citizens and organizations
The idea OF the change was TO facili-
tate traffic at that point. 1t involved
the shifting Of the car tracks to lines
closer to the statue, with the establish
ment Of lunette islands as safety points
for pedestrians. Not only would it have
greatly altered the appearance of the
circle to It's disadvantage, but it would
have established, as the Commission of
Fine Arts points out. dangerous
precedent.
The original plan Of the city pro-
video for several circles al street in
tersections. In these circles have been
erected memorials Of various types which
have become part Of the Capital scene.
With the advent OF the motor car has
come great change in conditions, with
heavy pressure upon the arterial high
ways. From time to time in recent
years efforts have been made to modify
the general plan as . means OF lessen

Two-Cent Local Postage.

On and after July l Uncle Sam will
carry letters for two cents, reduc-
tion Of one-third from the rate that
has prevailed for about year past.
But this service will be rendered on q
two-cent basis only for letters that
are to be delivered within the imme-
diate area A letter written by resi-
dent of Mount Pleasant to another who
lives in Southeast Washington will be
delivered for a two-cent stamp, but
one that is addressed to a Baltimore
correspondent will cost three cents, just
as at present
will apply to what are known In postal
parlance as drop letters" 1t will not
apply to interurban letters. That fact
Is to be borne in mind to prevent en-
barrassment and perhaps delay. 1t
will not be pleasant to have the post
man present q letter from New York
or Chicago with a two-cent stamp on
it and demand an additional penny or
one-cent stamp before delivery. Some
times the penny or the one-cent stamp
is not Immediately available. If the
postman is hard-hearted and rigid
interpreter of the rules he will not leave
the letter, for later collection Of the
arrears.
The increase Of the postal rate on
first-class matter from two to three
cents caused q considerable falling of
in the volume of that class and the
expected addition to the postal rev.
enues was not forthcoming. Just
whether the present change. restoring
the two-cent rate for local mail. will
cause q sufficient addition to the vol
ume OF mail matter to make up the
deficiency remains to be seen. With
the rate cut by one-third there must
be an increase Of third in the volume
Of drop letters to break even.
One effect Of the new rate-or the
old rate restored-for the local de-
livery letters will be the necessity of
keeping two kinds of stamps at hand,
two-centers and three-centers, not to
mention the penny stamps that are al
ways useful

End of the Kit Case.
buffalo Evening News,

From the Buffalo Evening News.
The committee which investigated the
toilet-kit contracts decided that the kits
purchased were worth the money. but
that they were much better than should
have been bought for the reforestation
army.
That let's down Secretary Howe and
Director Fechner to the extent OF dis
creditmg the claim OF the Quarter
masters Department that the articles
should have been bought for about half
what was paid. Nevertheless, when
Senators wish to buy combs for them
selves they would better ask the Quar-
termasters Department what the things
are worth.
Evidently the talk about turning the
tables by raising a campaign to oust
the quartefmsster general and the
chief Of staff should not be taken seri-
ously. Any attempt along such lines
might have turned tlSkafYair into q real
scandal.
