If the people of Washington are being- discriminated aKAlnst by the coal-carrylo8" railroads, as now seems to be the case, the facts of the matter will soon be made known and such action will follow as will beat suit the requirements of the situation. The District -CommtHelonittra auve appointed a committee of cltlsens, chosen by the. pres ident , oi ih..J3o(ft of xg&M'&n$lJK?, Business Men's Association, . to investi gate the charges of discrimination and to determine what steps are necessary and can be taken toward breaking the dead lock which Is apparently cutting Wash ington oft entirely from the coal supply now being shipped from the anttiradhe mines. The committee was appointed upon the motion of Commissioner Macfarland, the president of the local board. It has been represented to the commissioners by President Thomas W. Smith of the Board of Trade and other officers of that or ganization that some action .should be taken at once to prevent a possible coal famine in this city in midwinter, with all its disastrous consequences. Com missioner Macfarland took up the mat ter, and, after consultation with a num ber of prominent cltsens, recommended to his associate commissioners that the situation should be treated as an excep tional case, warranting the intervention which IS proposed. ITS EFFECTS. ' ' Commissioner Macfarland states hat as a matter which affected the well-being of the entire District, and the health, as well as the comfort, of every home, it oould be distinguished easily and properly from the ordinary commercial operations, so as to deserve and receive the attention of the executive government of the Dis trict of Columbia. It was agreed by the other commissioner thatthis -was the case, and thereupon the action was taken, Mr. Macfarland, suggested the appoint men! of a committee of ten. Composed of fire members from the Board. of Trade and five members from the Business Men's Association. He consulted 'with Mr. Smith, president cf the Board of Trade, and with lYesldent Gude of the business men's organisation. Mr. Mac farland asked Mr. Smith to act as chair man of the committee, and he consented to do so. President Gude will also be a member of the committee, the complete personnel of which is as follows; , COMMITTEES. ' Board of Trade Thomas 'W. Smith, John Joy Edom, George , Truesdell, E.

WASHINGTON, Dec 8.-A prohiblUve tax nlni'Prl nn a . n..A r m poraUons, this tax to te levied and coll lected by the machinery provided for the collection of Internal revenues of the government. Is a remedy proposed to meet the trust evil, which Representative Hepburn of Iowa believes would annihi late that class of combinations formed not tor the legitimate purpose of trade or commerce, but for the sole purpose of making money out of stock vajues. "And this is exactly the form of trust that cauHes all of the evil," declared Col. Hepburn in disc u string the subject. When you take away the opportunity t of the professional 'promoter" of getting rich simply through the organisation of a trust and the Issuance of ehormous quantities of stock baaed on ncthhig but the visionary dividend earning capacity of the projiosed enterprise you w.ilf at once put an effectual end to such organ izations. In my opinion a prohibitive tax on the stock of every corporation whloli Is not representative of substanttaJ value would wle such corporations out of existence, and when that-was d6no combinations would be made only for the legitimate trede advantages which could be secured. Combinations of the latter .class, in my opinion; are not harmful. "V MORGAN'S MERGER. ' "As an example, take Mr. Morgan's steamship merger. Wrhat motive did Mc. LAioreaa ha.v,Jn $RgineesiBg..th! gigantic scheme through if it were not for fhe SPvat proht he could derive, not through the legitimate business of shipping, but through the Issuance of stock based on the combination. If the matter were nn nlyred it would be found that Mr. Mor gan Is not posted, or even Interested, in the conditions governing the actual busi ness of the navigation of the Atlantic Ocean. He, as a professional promoter, sees a chance to make a great combina tion on which a fabulous amount of stock can be issued and sold, and through which Incidentally Mr. Morgan will reap an enormous prollt. "The motive for the railroad mergers will be found to be the same, and It is this gambling on the possibilities of enor mous profits which becomes at once the money-making end of the trust and not .lbaJusJUraata jsoines..whlcb-.shxjuJdaie..J the real cause for the combination and the real source of the profit." "How would you put your Idea.' into operation?''- - :. ; . . . "Simply give the collectors of Internal stock of corporations the same as-tliey place a value on liquor and cigars, have the tax on the stock which did not repre sent actual value subject to a fixed tax. This fixed tax In evdry Instance to be sufficiently til eh to make the existence of such stork impossible. "In order that no injustice might be done and that the right of appeal might be hd from the decision of the Internal revenue collector, provision should be made for a special board of appeal, and even the Judgment of this board might l appealed from to the federal courts. This. In my Judgment, would be ample machinery and a practical method of reaching the evil efTectr of trusts. "It. however, Is a remedy which has oc curred to me during the past few months, and beyond thinking it out along the lines I have suggested I have given It no care ful research.

The commis sioner of internal revenue estimates that the receipts duning the fiscal year ending; June 30 next will amount to 1220,000,000. The receipts last year were $271,867,990, and the year before they were S306.&71.669. The decrease Is solely due to the repeal of the war taxes.. The aggregate decrease would be much more, but the phenomenal prosperity of the country has increased the general re ceipts to such an qxtent that the loss, on account of the repeal of the war taxes, has been partially offset.
