The New York Tax Reform Association re- cently wrote to many college presidents and professors asking their views on the platform of the association. Among those whose views were asked was Dr. James C. Welling, presi- dent of the Columbian University. Tho plat- form referred to is as follows: 1. The most direct taxation is the best, be- cause it gives to the real payers of taxes a cbn- scious and direct pecuniary interest in honest and economical government. 2. Mortgages and capital engaged in produe- tion or trade should be exempt from taxation. becanse taxes on such capital tend .to drive it to puta premium on dishonesty and to discourage industry, 8. Real estate should bear the main burden of taxation, because such taxes can be most easily, cheaply and certainly collected and be- cause they bear least heavily on the farmer and the worker. 4. Our present system of levying and collect- ing state and municipal taxes is extremely bad and spasmodic and unreflecting tinkering with itis unbkely to result in substantial improve- ment. 5. No legislature will venture to enact a good system of local taxation wxtil the peop! cially the farmers, perceive. the correct princi. ples of taxation aud see the folly of taxing personal property. ‘Therefore, we desire to unite our efforts, in snch ways as may scem advisable, to keep up ject of taxation, with a view to improvement in the system and enlightenment as to the cor- rect principles. Dr. Welling said in his reply to the asso- ciation: “I give my hearty assent to the five propositions contained in the platform of the ew York Tax Reform Association. I think, orations enjoying a lucrative franchise by public authority should pay equit- ably for that franchise and that as the con- dition of their existence ‘the sunlight of pub- licity’ should Le made to shine on all their operations.” Xr. bolton Hall, secretary of the association, says that eighty-one other college professors evincide in Dr. ¥ THE COURTS.

Health Officer Hammett to Investigate as to the Use of Salt, The space between tho car tracks of the Washington and Georgetown cable road is concreted from the Navy Yard to Georgetown with the exception of a short distance, and the company anticipates some trouble with the horses during the snow and sleet this winter. Daring the cold wenther when the streets are sprinkled preparatory to sweeping the freezing of the water, before the appronch of the sweepers.it is thought, will also eause the horses and drivers some annoyance, and to prevent this President Hurt recently addressed a letter to the Commissioners upon the subject in which the question of salting and sanding the tracks was mentioned. ‘The letter was referred to Supt.

Asto sprinkling salt or sand upon the tracks: Superintendent Arnold thinks either would constitute a violaticn of law, Should the com- Pany be granted the permission to ase sand he suggests that they be required to olean the tracke and renew the sand at least once a week, as by permitting the sand to remain there too ‘pe- } long it would be ground into dust and would be an intolerable nuisance. As to the question of salting the tracks Supt. Arnold says that exhalations arising aro un- doubtedly injurions to health. In conclusion he @ays that the attention of the company should be called to the condition of their tracks about the switchce and they should be required to remove the debris.
