Charity is necessary because justice is lacking. The sarne Mr. Belmont who makes this threat is the proprietor of the Interborough Co ny, which has capitalized its Subway tease at $104,500,000, issuing buads and stock for five times its actual investment in equipment. : A guileless reader of Mr. Belmont’s address might think that he was paying taxes at the regular rate:on this capitalization, and.that it was proposed to substitute ‘punitive spoliation” for the ordinary tax rate, : "Quite the contrary. The “punitive spoliation” is the attitude of Mr.- Belmont’s company toward the city treasury. The Interborough refuses to pay any taxes at all, It claims exemption on the ground that the city owns the Subway and that the Interborough’s property is used only as the city’s lessee. If the same tax rate of zero which the Interborough pays were Paid by every one else, every farnilyin New York City would have over $160 a year more to spend, and if only half of this were devoted i Ao charity there would be the most colossal charitable fund the world sO) has ever'seen. , In return for the exemption from paying $1,572,000 taxes every year, what does Mr. Belmont propose? What “stream of donations” has he or the Interborough set flowing? What “springs of life” would his paying his taxes dry up? Mr. Belmont asks what would take its place should the charity of ‘ ° COMMON PEOPLE the rich cease. Bosh! | There is little real charity of the rich to the Poor; there is much condescension, patronizing, self-complacency, the giving of tips and sops, but there can be no intelligent, self-respecting charity. The only such charity Is that of the mass of the people to one another. = 1 'T last he has been found. man quicker than a widow. supper over the chafing-dish, consults im about where RY of Pau Claire, Wisconsin. sent to scho ull the first thing he Mrs, Itora Fraker, and jised| ‘when we are widow's met hout securing Mra, Fraker and=himself, pis Actio: Tho widow was incensed by his premimption and cai 1 notice to be Inaetted in th a declaring th rel without he and that ahe had) before her start ed.
