Taxes in One Payment. There is more than one reason why the plan of single payments of tax+s, suzgested by the collector of taxes of the District in his annual report, is desirable. Provided the annual payment in one installment is made at the end of the tax year in the shape of a remittance for taxes incurred and due instead of at the beginning of the year as an advance payment, the property owners would have the benefit of the money for twelve months. To most of the District taxpaycrs this is a matter of con- siderable importance, for, as a rule, they keep their funds in bank where they earn other money, and for the payments to be made In adyance means a considerable loss in interest and in the vse of the money, withdrawing it from circulation and taking it from the hands of the local banking in- stitutions. To adopt the annual payment system now might, it is urged, be a consid- erable embarrassment to many heavy tax- payers who at times find it dificult to raise in a lump sum the large assessments placed upon their property, and to others who are of such disposition and habits that it is easier to pay a debt in irstallments, even if part is thus paid before payment is nec- essary. Ii is not, however, an argument that indicates a great degree of thrift to urge that an annual payment at the end of the year cannot be met as easily as two seml-annval payments. If such taxpayers eculd form the habit of putting in bank in Noven.ber the amount due for six months of taxes, it would then be available in May to add to a simiiar amount to be turned in to the District treasury for the com- plete annual ment. This is surely as easy a task as paying in two installments, and is advantageous in that it gives the taxpayer the benefit of the bank deposit for six months. It is a short-sighted bu ness policy that permits a merchant who has a debt falling due at the end of the year to expend in some extravagance the money that he has laid by for this pur- . and the same is true of the taxpa s annual burden be fifty or five thousand ollars. If two payments are such a decided advantage to the taxpaye would be twice as much of an advantage, and on the same line of reasoning monthly payments would be a practically ideal sys- tem. This perhaps would accommodate the taxpayers who are never ready and who never prepare in advance for this obliga- tion, but ‘t would be a great inconvenience to the majority, who are thrifty men who know the value of employed means. An item ef considerable importance in this con- nection is the fact that the annual system of payme:ts would result in a notable re- duction of the present cost of collecting the taxes. This is no small matter and repre- sents < great saving that would be felt di- rectly by the taxpayers. It will not be much more difficult for the collection and auditing force of the District to handle the entire bulk of taxes at one operation than It is at present to care fcr the partial payment each half year. There are no figures at hand to show the exact economy that this change of plan would entail, but it cannot help being a most desirable sum to save. The plan of course could not be put into operation without a special act of Con- gress, and doubtless the proposition of such a scheme in the House or the Senate would be the signal for a brisk debate by the vis- iting statesmen from all parts of the coun- try, who would give their views pro and econ and piaise to the skies the particular fiscal system in use in their own localities. Perhaps after such a cyclone of wisdom the District may obtain this beneficial bit of fegislation. It is worth the seeking. —_—— + + Brooklyn “Life has discovered some new points about bicycling that are worthy of attention. It declares that there fs not a wheel-riding husband who has not dur- ing the past four months urged his wife to learn to ride, too. Having prevailed upon her so to do there is not one who does not regret it. In addition to impairing his neryous system fifty per cent it has also affected him with a “husband's neck.” The malady is caused by a constant cran- ing of his head's svpport, generally to the left, to see if the partner of his joys and sorrows is safe. The bicycle-face was bad enough, especially as it was almost uni- versally accompanied by the bicycle hump which caused irreverent persons to allude to riders so affected .as being “bible backed,"" but the bicycle-neck is the worst of all. If the bicycle is going to distort humanity and destrey all its sym- % of form and beauty of feature eth- with a regard for the future had in a big supply of clay and go to work making busts and casts of the few who yet retain the erect and supple figure of youth. + +-____ n has been widely congratulated on her rapid strides in civilization.

Fortunately there was not an in- cident in the race itself to mar the com- pleteness of the victory nor the greatness of the honor of vanquishing such a mag- nificent challenger. It was a fair, even test of skMi in all kinds of work, and both in eating and in running before the wind Defender showed herself to be the best craft that ever entered the water. It may be doubted whether after such a defeat, presuming that the forthcoming races pro- duce the same results, Lord Dunraven or any other Britisn yachtsman will repeat for several years the experiment of trying to win back the America cup. It has been a supreme effort on the part of the sports- manlike Britons to produce a racing ma- chine that could vanquish America’s best, and they will probably feel their disap- pointment sorely. The cup is, of course, Tot yet won, as two more races must be secured before the final award can be made, but there is unwavering confidence today in the minds of all on this side of the Atlantic that Defender is the better boat, end that she will win the next two races as easily as she did the first. +» _____ The young Duke of Marlborough who is now visiting these shores is in a fair way to become very popular here. When ap- proached recently by a reporter in New York and asked for his impressions of America, he said: “Well, really, I don’t care to tell them now. A man’s impres- sions are of no value when he has only been here a week. I may have to make them ull over again.” If young Maribor- ough is rot a high and shining light in English diplomatic circles before many years have passed then all signs fail A man who can put the tempter behind him as easily as this 1s surely destined for great things. ———_-e. There could be no more significant indi- cation of Thomas B. Reed's presidential strength than the fact that Senator Quay regards him with friendliness in that con- nection. It is not a sentimental regard. Mr. Quay Is not given to ebullitions of sim- ple affection in his political transactions. It is the cool-headed choice of a keenly perceptive politician of the man whose chances look the best at chis stage of the game. Postmaster General Wilson's election to the Greenbrier Hunting Club of West Vir- ginia may be fraught with extraordinary poxsibilities. Suppose, for Instance, that Mr. Wilson should be convinced of the pro- priety of taking down the fences of the hunting preserves so as to put game on the free list? —- - +02 ———_ Mascagni declares that composers have librettos sent them by shcemakers and rail- way porters. Perhaps it would be a good idea to try some of these lbrettos for a change. The pain of General Harrison's recent dental operation may have been somewhat tempered by the reflection ‘that some poli- ticians haven't any wisdojn teeth to lose. ——___~<-.

It Made a Difference. “What's the matter, William?” said the wealthy hovseholder. “Anything gone wrong?” “Not exactly gone wrong, sir; but I want a new understanding.” “What about?” “My pay, sir.” “Why, you get very good wages for a cook. “Yes, sir. They does very well for a cook, sir, But I overheard you when you were talking to your friends, sir, You called me your chef.” “Well, you ought to be complimented.” “Yes, sir. I'm complimented. But busi- ness is business. I can't be a chef for less than three thousand dollars a year. Wages is all right for a cook, but a chef's got to have a salary Turn About. The politician appeared in public places once more with a smile on his face, where once dejection sat. “You seem pleased,” said the friend. “Yes. I'm glad the yacht race is over.”* “Why, it doesn’t make any difference to you, does it?” “I should say so. People will get their minds off of spanker-booms now and give my presidential boom a chance.” A Change of Base. The wind which through his whiskers blew Will soon find sport elsewhere, And gaily toss itself across The football player's hair. A Suggestion. “I don’t know what's going to become of Binx," said one police official. ‘He's an old man on the force.” “What's the matter with him?” inquired the other. “He's getting near-sighted.”” That's bad.” ‘And hard of hearing.” “He always that way.” “And I hardly see what we're going to do with him. I can't discharge him.” “U-m-m—why don't you put him on the detective force?" September.
