j Washington the Only City in the

Pay One-Half of the Taxes.

f I
i ! 'I he ?'itv of Washington is
to be taxed on this property it
volunteers to pay one-half of all
" | expenses-. Congress, however,
does not propose to let the city
authorities say what these expen.
sessiia'l he, for every penny of
,! money expended for public pur,
poses is specially appropriated by
1'Congress. So this city is unique
( j in that it cannot say what shall
he done with a cent of the money
| raised by it> <wn people by taxai
| tion. Tlie money is placed in the
' Treasury and when the school
pr
^ teachers, for example, are to be
u paid their wages or a contract is
t to be made for cleaning the
a streets, the money is taken from
| the Treasury in accordance with
; a special provision of Congress,
s | one-half being taken from the
f| District iax fund and one-half
f, from the general fund of the
" < iovernment.
? J Still another respect in which
^ I Washiogton is unique is its form
1 | of citv government. After trying
[> a Federal city government with
p a mayor and council, and a territ
torial form with a governor and
. | an elective assembly, the present
I plan, which has its counter part
' nowhere else on earth, was tried
1 and has proved so successful that
it is likely to endure.
All power, under Congress, is
in charge of a Commission of
'hit . mm. appointed by the President
!: ! approved by the Senate.

11 distinction of being the nnlv city
j | hi the country in which the peos
pie are taxed to the extent of hut
jj one-half of the expense necessary
I to keep the machinery of govern
j ment properly "oiled." If new
.[streets are to he laid out, new
achool-houses built, or any muni
,np:il undertaking to ho carried
I through, the people living in the
. citv have to raise hut half of the
cost the rest being attended to by

' sell for five cents or lcs^. ami the\
governei. themselves accordingly
in making debts, nnd as the result 1
many of them wound up the year

in 189N.
While there are scores of farm
ers in York county who have not
bought any flour since they com1
menced to farm, and in fact there
'are several who annually sell
from .'{()() to .">00 bushels of wheat,
I i
still the large majority have never
pretended to raise wheat at all,
contending that it was cheaper to
buy llour than to raise wheat,
figuring something like this : "On
land that will produce a half bale
.of cotton to the acre I can raise
10 bushels of wheat, which will
make about '5.">o pounds of Hour,
worth about $s, while the half1
bale of cotton is worth $ir>." In
securing his results he never
takes into account the cost <1
preparing land, fertilizing, cultivating,
gathering, ginning uul
1
selling til" cotton, because if he
did he would find that after p iv

It is very diilicult at this time
to make a reliable estimate as to
what the cotton acreage will be
this year, but it is reasonably safe
to say that it wi(l be from !>0 to
10 per cent, less fhan last, owing
to the fact that much of the land
that under conditions.j
three or four y'ears ago would
nave been planted in cotton have
ilready been sown in wheat and
Lherelore will not be available.
There h little probability, however.
that the yield of cotton will
be from .'10 to per cent, less
than last year, as the land will be
better prepared, as a rule, and
more fertilizers used. J
