Mr. Knox points out that during the
three years there has been a gain of
Wl ,311,005 In our foreign trade, the total
value of exports for the tlscal year
ending June 30, 1012. being 2.204,322,100.
the trade balance for 1012 In favor of the
Ignited States being fBSl.0QT.475. Under
the minimum tariff clauee of the Payne
tariff law practically the entire world
has received "most favored nation' treatment.
American exports to Germany
alone have Increased from $249,000,000 In
1910 to $306,000,000 in 1912. an Increase of
$57,000,000. During the same period our
trade with practically all Europe has increased
In exports $3*5,000,000 and our
exports to Canada have grown from $215.990.O21
in 1910 to $.120,257,302 in 1912.
"As Secretary Knox says, the foreign
market Is a vital consideration in our Industrial
life, and wherever we may look
we find American products forging their
way Into the great markets of the world
To quote from a leading newspaper: "The
figures are almost bewildering. They tell
the story of prosperity which should not
be disturbed.'
Why Disturb ItP
"Then whv rilsturh it? T would not SUB
pect the democratic candidates for the
White House and for the Capitol of such
falsity to their pledges that they do not
Intend to disturb it. Their speech is very
much like that which heralded the election
of Mr. Cleveland, and they may be
presumed, in Justice to themselves, to be
as sincere in their purpose as he was.
Therefore they do Intend to disturb the
prosperous business we are now enjoying
at home and with foreign countries?for
our foreign trade is based largely on provisions
of the Payne tariff law, which
the democratic party condemns and proposes
to repeal.
"Except in the south, where the man of
color is not allowed to vote, and in
California and Kansas, where white as
well as colored republicans are for the
present disfranchised, the ballot is free
throughout the United States, and that
means that the large majority of citizens
Qualified to vote are free to express their
will at the polls. The choice for the
voter is not obscure; on the contrary It is
as plain and clear an issue as ever was
presented in our political history?it Is
between actual an assured prosperity, active
industries, good wages, a flourishing
home market and rapidly growing farm
trade, on the one hand, and depression of
business, paralysis of industry, loss of
employment for wage earners and general
demoralization of trade at home and
abroad on the other hand. On one side
prosperity and real progress; on the
other, a leap in the dark. The American
people have more than once surprised
those who thought the people were being
successfully fooled, and I believe that a
similar surprise awaits our opponents on
the coming 5th of November."
SITUATION IN KANSAS.
Gov. Stubbs Says President Taft'i
Statement Is Inaccurate.
TOPEKA. Kan., October 28.?Gov.
Stubbs today made the following statement
in reply to President Taft's assertion
that the republicans of Kansas are
disfranchised: ,
"President Taft is entirely mistaken in
his statement that the republicans in
Kansas are disfranchised. The exact
facts are that after the Taft electors had
!>een edfeated in a state-wide legal republican
primary by 35.000 in favor of
Roosevelt electors, the Roosevelt men
voluntarily withdrew from the republican
column and the republican state central
committee has placed the Taft electors
on the republican ticket under the name
of Taft and Sherman. The Roosevelt
electors in Kansas will appear in an independent
column under the name of
Roosevelt and Johnson.
"The voluntary withdrawal of the
Roosevelt electors from the republican
column was after the Taft attorneys had
failed to get them removed in two suits
in the supreme court of the state, one
in a district court of the state and three
suits in the federal court of the United
9tatea
"President Taft evidently has failed to
keep up with the political situation in
Kansas during the present campaign."
JOHNSON STUMPING MAINE.
Begins Tenth Week of Campaign
and Makes First Speech in State.
PORTLAND. Me., October 28.?Gov.
Johnson today began the tenth week of
his campaign, and, incidentally, made his
initial speech in this state. Other addresses
have been scheduled for the governor
which will keep him busy up to
election day.
Gov. Johnson opened his campaign with
a speech at Blddeford. Later he left
Portland by a special train to speak In
six cities and large towns before going
tonight to Connecticut.
A large crowd had gathered In the City
Square at Blddeford and Gov. Johnson
spoke for half an hour. His talk was received
enthusiastically. The governor
denounced the nomination of President
Taft at Chicago as having been obtained
by theft and fraud.
"The national committee." he declared,
"nominated the candidate of a minority
of the republican party, and a mighty
smaii minority at tnat. ?y mis act tne
committee assassinated the old republican
party, and they did more, they assassinated
their very candidate as well."
Speaking of Gov. Wilson, the California
executive declared that the democratic
lea-Jer's trust program had been one of
negations, masterly inactivity and silence.''
"The spirit of this progressive movement."
the governor said in conclusion,
"Is unbeatable and unquenchable, and we
.re going forward te ultimate victory in
i 'ls land In next November."

Annual Assessments. MEANS
OF EQUALIZING TAX
Suggests That Triennial Plan Gives
Reason for Criticism. t

REPLIES TO GEORGE REPORT I

Total Valuation of Land and Im- [

Placed at $330,332,487. *
d
c
Charging the triennial assessment meth- v
od in vogue In the District of Columbia f
with being responsible for the criticism ^
made that larger and more valuable pieces *
of property are under assessed, while *
smaller holdings are taxed to the limit.
District Assessor William P. Richards, in
his annual report to the Commissioners,
renews his recommendation of several 1
years past that provision be made for r
annual instead of triennial assessments.
While no reference is made to the re- r
port submitted by the George committee s
on assessment and taxation methods in a
the District, the report of the assessor h
answers indirectly some of the allega- t
tions made by the House investigating g
committee. f
"There has been In the last few years
much well founded complaint which was t
more directly chargeable to the triennial f
method of assessment than to any j
other cause," It states. a
"This was due to the fact that some \
values in the business section of the city ^
and in some portions of the county had v
greatly enhanced, while others, from some i
local cause, had depreciated, but the as- r
sessmerrt could not at once be made to ^
conform to the changed conditions. In consequence,
a comparison of values with as- s
sessments, especially toward tne ena or t
the triennial period, showed so great a r
difference as to leave the Impression upon r
the minds of many that the large and ?
more valuable property was underrated, a
while the smaller and less expensive hold- i
ing was assessed to its full limit, apparently
Indicating a discrimination In favor
of the former, when as a matter of fact,
the difference was due wholly to the
change of conditions. ^
Proposed Change Condemned.
"It Is proposed by some, who favor a
change In assessment matters, to enlarge
the board of assistant assessors, and dl- 1
vide the'Distrlct of Columbia into a num- *
ber of subdistrlcta, with one assistant as- 8
sessor for each subdistrict, on the theory *
that by limiting his services to his own *
particular territory he wbuld become so o
familiar with values therein as to be an j
expert. This proposed change, however, _
is merely the return to a former and
long-since-abandoned system which, for I1
years, was 'tried and found wanting,' i<
leading to gross inequalities which were
so numerous that some even yet remain, h
An annual assessment which is the ?
product of the united judgment of an en- t
tire board promises better results in d
eliminating or greatly reducing the in- a
equalities of our tax levy, and at the
same time tending to convince the public j
that justice and fair treatement are ac- n
corded to all?a consummation which j
must be considered desirable from every ^
point of view." t
The report urges the necessity for reg- g
tsterlng all automobiles and the issue of ?
new tags annually or the passage of a
law requiring an annual fee to be paid
based on the horsepower of the machine,
this fee to be in lieu of personal tax and
seat or wheel tax.
Tax to Remain the Same. ^
"The amount of tax would remain the
same each year as long as the machine
was in use, and this office is of the a
opinion that It would result in an in- a:
creased revenue to the District and do E
away entirely with the question of depre- cl
elation of the value of the car for assess- ei
ment purposes and also the added I
wheel or seat tax so much opposed by B1
owners," the report states.
Attention Is directed to the problem of 1
equalising taxes. In this connection, the r
rcpuw iwxj a. u
"In the assessor's report of 1911 mention
was made of some of the difficulties t
experienced in equalizing taxes andMuring ri
this year there has been considerable discussion
concerning the equalization of
taxes and a scientific method of assessment.
There may be differences of opinion .
as to what constitutes a real scientific
method of assessment, but there are at
least three legislative changes that are of
paramount importance in bringing about "
an equalization of taxes. These are:
Requested Legislation Outlined. ri
"First, an annual assessment for the en- f<
tire District of Columbia; second, a paljn "
method of designating all taxable property
through the use of accurate and
complete maps; third, a sufficient cleri- g,
cal force to gather data and assist the s<
assessors in their field and office work." b
According to the report, the total as- d
sessed valuation of real estate in the Dis- r
trict of Columbia for the fiscal year that
ended June 30. 1912. was $330,:?2.487. Of T
this amount, $100,074,000 represented the
assessed valuation of improvements and
$169,048,481 the assessed valuation of
land.

an address on "American . Occupa

meeting at Pythian Temple yesterday. b
The speaker held that "the Filipinos are
no more qualified for conducting an in- e
dependent government of their own than t
our high school boys are qualified to go f
to Congress and make our laws." He (
held that the United States cannot let 1
the islands go, but must hold and develop
them. When, after due training,
the people of the Islands are sufficiently
qualified, he was In favor of grant:ng ]
them Independence If they desired It. He
stated that a large portion of the Filipinos
themselves also look at the matter
In this light?regard It as best that

CUBAN CLASH EXPECTED
Officials Here Believe Real
Trouble Will Come After
Election.
Officials here welcome the announcement
from Havana that leaders of the
two political factions have undertaken to
abandon the pre-election mass meetings,
which have already resulted in several
serious collisions. But the impression
prevails here that the danger of an outbreak
on a large scale has merely been
averted, and that, unless there 1b a decided
change in the attitude of the leaders
on both sides, the real trouble may
be expected after election day, next Friday.
Though the business interests of Cuba
are believed to be largely aligned with
;he conservations of Menocal party, Zayistas
or liberals have heretofore shown
such strength that their triumph at the
polls is expected by many.
A drastic restriction of the registration
lists, which would exclude a large
proportion of the liberal element, may,
however, operate to turn the tide in
favor of the conservatives, and therein
officials here believe lies the real
danger, for they fear the Zaylatas are
ilmost certain to break into open riot
If the election judges undertake to
iraw the lines against them.

jewels the thieves overlooked $75 in notes
under the jewel box, $300 in gold and
othlr coin kept in a drawer of the dreaser
and other jewelry in the room amounting
in value to nearly $1,500. It is thought by
Mrs. Wilson that they were frightened
before they had completed the search.
Among the jewels taken was a ring
containing two rare blue-white diamonds,
valued at $1,000; an opal ring set with
fourteen small diamonds, valued at $125,
and two Tiffany set diamond rinas. val
ued at $100 and $75, respectively.
Dr. Wilson said that the last time his
wife had opened the jewel case was Tuesday
night, after they had returned from
a reception. She was sure she had locked
the case before retiring.
Mrs. Wilson had been in feeble health,
and the shock of finding that some of her
jewels had been stolen was too much for
her nerves. She fell in a faint. Dr. Wilson
revived her and made a search of the
apartment to ascertain if anything else
of value had been stolen.
The jewel box had been shoved partly
out of position, but not enough to expose
the $75 In notes lying underneath

Cornwall today arrested Thomas Linwood,
colored, twenty-three years old,

drug store in the northwest section of
the city. Linwood admissions, the police
say, explains the disappearance of the
contents of a number of express packages
left at his place of employment,
where the express company had an
agency.
Following the rifling of a number of
packages at the agency, the Plnkerton
detective Saturday night left a package
of clothing there to be shipped. This
morning he went to the agency, opened
the package and discovered that waste
paper had been put in the package to
take the place of the clothing.
Linwood's arrest followed. He is said
to have admitted having taken the contents
of Ave packages. In one instance,
he is said to have stated, he emptied a
gallon jug of the whisky it contained and
tilled the Jug with water.
FAINTS FROM SHOCK.
Wife of Baltimore Physician Robbed
of Jewels Worth $1,300.
BALTIMORE, October 118.?By picking
the lock of her jewel case, thieves secured
$1,300 worth of jewelry from the
bedroom of Mrs. Mamie F. Wilson, wife
of Dr. Abel A. Wl'.son, between Tuesday
night and Saturday, when the loss
was discovered.
Important financial returns are secured Ry
by the meat-packing Industry through an<
the sale of the by-products. It has been coi
frequently asserted by the packers that Ma
they sell dressed meat for less than they be<
pay for the live weight. A similar state 'or
of things exists in other highly organized wh
industries, such as the United States ta?
Steel Corporation, the Standard Oil Com- act
pany and some corporations dealing in it i
cereal products. Much of the profit comes a.ft
from intelligent use of materials secured lic<
incidentally in preparing the chief ar- nih
tides manufactured. In the greatest in- stu
dustry of them all, agriculture, the by- I
products are subjected to woeful waste. aS<
Attention is called by Prof. H. M. Cottrell.
agricultural commissioner of the
Rock Island railroad, to the fact that
farmers in the corn belt waste literally
millions of dollars because they fail prop- kpo
erly to utilize cornstalks for fodder. Instead
of harvesting the stalks, they burn 1
them or secure trifling returns by pastur- by
Ing their animals in the fields during the bet
winter. "With the grain worth on the vh
farms $1,500,000,000." writes Prof. Cottrell *
ine ieeu v?iuc ui iuc 10m ui w up,
if fully utilized, is $1,000,000,000." The vl,c
basis of this calculation is the fact that
there is 40 per cent of nutriment in the *
stalks as compared with 60 per cent In ,
the kernels.
Prof. Cottrell prescribes silos, in which BO
the stalks, leaves and husks could be kept *a
In a way to make them available for food f
for cattle. This, he believes, would an- "?
swer the objections of corn belt farmers ,
who say that it is unprofitable for them i?1'
to raise cattle for the market. Moreover, * "
there would be great additional economy a?
in the fertilization of farm lands through B
the feeding of cattle upon them.
The day is near at hand when wasteful M
farming methods in this country must dan
end. Full value must be secured from Ma
the soli in the rich corn belt as elsewhere pre
through the use of everything usable Sen
including the humble cornstalk, and cha
through intelligent and systematic efforts Md
to preserve and heighten the fertility of Lei
the fields. ^ the

ANNAPOLIS, Md. October 28.?Naval
Academy authorities have boycotted A 1napolls
barber shops.
In accordance with the regulations governing
the student body of midshipmen,
which have been undergoing a thorough
course of revision by Supt. Olbbona during
the laat several weeks. It develop*
that midshipmen will tn the future he
absolutely prohibited from visiting tho
city shops, either to have their hair cut
or beards shaved from their faces.
That such an edict had been placed <*
force was noted by the proprietors of several
tonsorial saloons laat Saturday. That
is the only day In the week that the majority
of the midshipmen are allowed liberty
privileges to visit in the city, and
not one of the students was seen In anv
of the shops. Formerly Saturday ha*
been a big day for some of the barbers
in midshipmen trade.
Alleged Reason.
No specific reason is given by tn?
authorities for the rigid regulations
that are now effective. There has al
ways been & provision that midship
men should provide themselves with
razors and shave themselves, but no
effort was made to enforce it until
recently. It Is believed, however, that
the death of Midshipman Julian B. Bishop
of New York several months ago
of blood poisoning has something to do
with the step taken.
Young Bishop, it was said, contracted
the dread malady by an infected wound
on the face, the result of shaving. It.
was admitted that he frequently shaved
himself, and while the source of the infection
was not definitely traced, it is
known that a medical officer at the academy
conducted an inspection of local barber
shops.
TIGAN STILL AT ACM

Midshipman Not Yet Sent
to Annapolis.
Special IXxpatcb to TTie Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md.f October ??Although
dispatches from Wa*4?tngt?n indicate
that Midshipman Walter TiKan of
Illinois, a member of the third cass, has
been dismissed rfom the Naval Academy
by order of the Navy Department for
hazing, authorities of the academy have
received no word concerning: the department's
action on the verdict of the courtmartial
before which young Tigan was
tried .
It is adimtted by the officials, however,
that Tigan was convicted of the offense,
that the court's recommendation was for
dismissal, and that the report received the
approval of Supt. Gibbons. It was upon
the superintendent's request that the
Navy Department detailed the court-martial.
Young Tigan is still at the academy,
but will leave as soon aa official notification
of the department's action comes
down from Washington.
It was charged that Tigan compelled
Midshipman R. 8. Berkey of Indiana,
member of the "plebe" or new fourth
class, to stand on his head a number
of times. This is one of the brutal
customs peculiar to the old hazing rode
that prevailed at the naval school fur
years, and under the revised hazing
law' offenses of that character are punishable
by dismissal from the service.
The superintendent of the academy has
the authority to deal with less severe
cases without assembling a court-martial.
