This is the same philanthropist who once declared it was a ts still doing business at ries and insti crime for a man to die rich he tax board thought hie music hall and studio building were worth $1,400,000 His palatial mansion on the avenue they put at $2,300,000. His unimproved lots they valued at $883,500 These figures displeased the philanthropist very much. He is reported to have said that it was “Outrageous!” His own valuations were: music hall and studio building, $800,300; ave nue palace, $1,432,000; vacant lots, $445,000, So he entered suit to compe! the tax board to accept a lower valuation The difference, you observe, is just $2,308,200, which means, if the irommaster wins his suit, a yearly saving of about $34,000, alee 6 # Almost a stone's throw of the philanthropist’s palace there houses. The people who live in them are are some tenement at the tax board keeps its eye on the tenement very poor. I houses just 45 it does on the music hall and the palace It appraises the little properties just as it does the big ones It values the building at so much, and then the landlord raises the rent again tenements, There isn't any use. All in the world the poor peo ple have is right there in plain view. There isn’t any stock in the safe. There are no bonds tucked away in the safe deposit box of some trust company. If the tax assessor should say, “What have you got?” they would just wave their hands around the room an But the man who owns a little home or a small business, When the time comes to pay, say, “There it is.” he finds his taxes a real burden it means something, a little more economy, a little more sacri fice, a little more deprivation. They never dispute the finding of the assessor, because in the first place the Government is a kind of sacred and majestic thing to them, and in the second | place they haven't the extra money to hire lawyers and go to court So the little property owner pays And the tenement dweller pays more rent He has to. He has to. But the philanthropist runs to court, and doesn't pay doesn’t have to. He It may be the tax board is all wrong. The philanthropist said as much to them once. He pointed out their error they only smiled, and told him they couldn't see it But Perhaps the philanthropist thinks he is justified because it is a matter of principle. “Principle” is deed, and it is better than that—it is a useful word The world will probably be inclined to accept the opinion of the tax assessors. If it turns out that they are wrong, it will only prove that tax assessors and philanthropists are pretty much alike—they both can make mistakes “IF IT WERE REALLY TRUE very fine word, = =o = = HEALTH AND BEAUTY it will perfume the water delicious yy eee | Be going out, anoint the Celery is @ nerve tonic 8° Are | complexion with a good cold cream, onions. we forcing into the pores all they wili accept.
