THE EVENING WASHINGTON: SATUR: AY. CROSBY 8. NOYES. THE EVENING STAK has the fellest Lecal Circulation of any Newspaper in the Werld, mere than all the other papers published in w “Annual income twenty pounds, annual ex- Ppenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happi- Ress. Annual income twenty pounds, anuual expenditure twenty pounds onght and six, re- sult misery.” Witxixs Micawser. The District is now in the position financially to profit by*the Micawber maxims, and it is figuring hard to keep its expenditures just Within its income and at least » hair's breadth on the right side of the line which separates financial happiness from financial misery. To develop with the steady progress that the national capital should ex- hibit and at the same time to live comforta- Dly within ite income is Washington's probiem. Itseems to be necessary either to discover some items of expenditure which can be de- creased without public injury or to devise some fair method of increasing the revenue, or per- haps to do both. In glancing at the ontiays of the District one is impressed by the fact that over a million dollars annually of its revenues are withdrawn from application to present needs and applied on the interest and sinking fund of the heavy indebteduess incurred in building up the capital. ‘Theoreticaily the nation in the beginning undertook to develop the capital at its own expense, then it threw practically the entire burden of capital building upon the feeble population of the city, and finally im 1878 it acknowledged its obligation to pay one-half. As justice requires the nation now to meet this obligation, so both justice and consistency re- quire & corresponding contribution for the period of negleet prior to 1878 and the reim bursement of the District for expenditures beyond its proportion during thix period. This reimbursement, which was recommended in Congress as far back as 1835 in Senator South- ard’s time, would almost cancel the present indebtedness, and release a million dollars annually for the capital's upbuilding. In view of the comparative fai ness and liberality of the nation’s dealing with the capital in refer- ence to present expenses, there is little disposition on the latter's part to push effen- sively old scores. But these facts should at least be remembered with the result of cutting out certain other items of District expenditure, which have been imposed upon the people of the city. although the purposes of the outlay are purely national as in the maintenance of the Zoological gardens, or although the city is not benefited and has incurred no responsibility for the expense asin the payments upon the abandoned tunnel. Congress should de- erease the District's expense account by releasing it from these unjust charges, In cases where permanent public improve- ments are made, of which the benefits will be largely if not entirely enjoyed by succeeding taxpayers, it seems to be fair to impose a pro- portioaste share of the expense of such im- provements upon the future city which will profit by them. In such cases provision for qeeting the cost by payments in annual in- stallments suggests itself as wise. Improve- ments must be undertaken and promptly com- pleted in developing the capital which are too expensive to be met at once from the current revenues without crippling all other branches of municipal growth. Naturally and inev- itably certain current expenses, like those for the police and fire departments, will enlarge with increase in population, and this enlarge- ment cannot safely bechecked. The obvious methods of decreasing without injury the present municipal outlays appear then to be the escape from certain unjust exactions and the adoption in respect to certain outluys of the installment system of payment. On the other side of the account it should be possible toenlatge the District's revenue without increasing the rate of taxation or raising the general standard of assessment or subjecting anybody to unfair treatment. The opinion is entertained not only at the Dis- trict building but among citizens quite gener- ally that the provision of a permanent board of assessors would not only render the tax assessment more equitable, but result in a con- siderable and just enlargement of the District’s revenues. The present system is objectionable im that inequalities are inevitable under it, since the opinions of the temporary sub-asses- sors in the different localities differ widely both as to values and standards of value and Ro effective provision for equalization of as- sesements is made. If in correcting the system and putting the citizens of all sections and property owners of all classes on an equal footing as far as possible the District revenues are enlarged, the increase will be very welcome and will be derived from the proper sources. This method of increas- ing the District's income seems on its face to be more just and reasonable than the impo- sition of « special tax of one-third the cost upon the owners of property abutting upon future street improvements. This assessment lowers the contribution of the general government for such improvements from one-half to one-third of the cost, a change for which there seems to be no reason, and collects an additional amount from the property owners who have not been #0 fortunate as to secure street improvements under the present system. An enlargement of the permit system might well allow property owners who are so anxious for speedy improve- ments as to pay a large share of the cost to do so, but there appears to be no reason why for the general street improvements the govern- ment's proportion of payment should be les- sened and that of the citizen increased. $< It costs Mayor Grant of New York nearly all of a year’s salary to be elected, not counting sums to god-children and so forth. ——— A democrat is in some degree defective if he has no speakership aspirations, —— ‘The base ball business seems to have been republicanized as it were. —_——_— = __ And now Nobraska is trifling with the nerves of the country by threatening to throw out some towns aud fix the returns so that nobody can find If it be true as reported that Senator Car- liste and Mr. Cleveland have quarreled, it is sate to say the cause was not the McKinley bia ——— Mr. Jay Gould ina tctter to the New York Sun, says the western rate war is costing the Tailsoads 22,400,000 a year.
