to discuss briefly. hope. one or two re.
marks that you made. | am very much
interested in the action taken by the
Municipal Committee to fix valuation Cor
properties 10 this Island so that we may
have some idea as 10 what l 25 per ceOt
or any other rate might bring in. |
would like to draw attention 10 the fact,
however, that this assessment too, is uR-
official. 1t will probably be more nearly
exact so far as present valuations are con
cerned than are the valuations to which
| referred previously. You mentioned the
fact that it might be possible that | fels
myself bound by the Act of May rs TO
insist on l Is per cent. That is not the
whole story. The tax rate now in effect.
by reason of the Act of Congress, is LIS
per cent and am fully satisfied with
that rate and do not see why 1t should be
decreased or increased. If your tenta.
tive valuation proves that we are going
to get more tax than is now collected,
we mig consider the repeal of other
existing taxes 10 addition 10 the Ground.

usually brings in $2I 100000 to $4,000 90

Immigration Tax which falls upon real
property. That tax 10 the past brought
10 $4,000 yearly. should like to re.
peal the Quarter Per Cent Tax as well.
That is paid by people who borrow
money with security in real property.
The law says the mortgage holder must
pay the tax, but it is well known fact that
the person who borrows money is the one

POLICE EXAMS
NO LONGER
SIMPLE
BY J. EARLE MOsER


According to the Civil Service
Commission, the belief that the
policemen has to be stupid to re-
ceive a post on the force has
become outworn. Policemen, it
appears, must pass a more rigid
examination than the average
enrollee on Government person
mel pay rolls.
At one time, it is admitted, the
requirements for District Of Co
lumbia policemen were negligible.
A strong back was the principle
requirement and a weak mind
constituted no drawback. Now.
however, the lad who desires to
wear the blue must have some
thing" in street vernacular.
Examinations, which are given
every once in while to keep
the eligible list for "cops" from
getting too slim, in ca the
Metropolitan force should need
reserves in a hurry, still are not
particularly difficult in the So
called mental tests. The ques-
tionS presented are simple and
not so ambiguous that they baf-
tle many who otherwise would
prove entirely satisfactory. Never
theless, the mental test itself
bars many hopefuls.
The physical examination, how.
ever, is extremely rigid and, &C
cording to the testimony of the
board Of physicians who admins
ter the quiz, approximately two out
Of every three candidates fail to
pass. At one time the physical
bars were even tighter because OF
the fact that rookie" policemen
became eligible for retirement
shortly after their appointment,
causing financial embarrassment
to the Government, but this no
longer applies.
In recent years the quality of
police material furnished Wash
ington by the Civil Service Com
mission has improved mainly
through the use of a character
investigation" which other Gov
ernment appointes do not have to
undergo. After passing the COM
missions test, all eligibles for the
District of Columbia force are in.
veStigated thoroughly before being
certified for service.
In carrying out the investiga.
tion, the would-be policemen's for
mer employers are interviewed,
then a "neighborhood investiga-
ton" is conducted. All folk &C
quainted with the prospective Of
ficer are asked their opinion of
him, and if he has ever become
mixed up in any scrapes his eligi.
bility is seriously impaired if not
cancelled. Such probes are usually
conducted just before the candi-
date is certified to the force. The
new and rigid method was adopted
nine years ago, the Civil Service
Commission declares, and the Met
ropolitan Police Department is
quoted as being very pleased with
its results"
Daniel L. Borden is chairman of
the board Of physicians who con-
ducts the physical tests of prospec-
tive policemen and is usually as
sisted by several members of the
board of Police and Fire Surgeons.
In the most recent test "a survived
the mental test and but 81 passed
at once. Another 18 were rejected
but later accepted after they had
corrected physical drawbacks
which could not be allowed but
which were subject to treatment.

This is a fine old British army
custom in the matter Of military
executions. When 1t came time to
take him out he was unconscious
and to make matters worse when
they got him to the pole to which
they were to tie him, it was found
that the quartermaster had failed
to provide a rope.
The doomed man was what they
call in Texas "a timber drunk. "
They couldn't get him to stand up.
But the officer in charge Of the
firing squad discovered that there
was a large iron hook driven into
the wall just to the right Of the
execution pole.
1t was little higher than the
mans head. But no matter. His
comrades gently hoisted him into
the air, the officer pushed the col
lar of his coat through the hook
and, hanging like q side Of beef,
he was shot dead.
