Families with incomes averaging $2,000 to $2,500 can afford the modern automobile. Yet citizens of this metropolis and motor centre of the world pay ‘ninety cents a mile to ride in licensed motor taxicabs! In Lon- don the rate is sixteen cents. Why do we pay five or six times as mudh as other people to ride in taxicabe? For one reason because the big hotele through the taxicab com- | panies graft thousands of dollars each year from the public by «clling street privileges that actually belong to the people. But is this just? On the contrary it i « shame and a disgrace. Residents en- | dure it. Visitors resent and execrate it.

He devotes page after page to describing the marvellous ex- pansion of the city during the last eighty years and gives many in- stances of the incredible rise in value of various parcels of land. He |. shows how the amazing march of the city’s development has con- ht verted farms and country places into crowded business centres. He waxes eloquent over the chances for « poor man to become rich by the stmple process of buying land and holding it. | He compares tend values in three great citics. He finds land in the City of New York valued at 48,600 yen (824,300) per tsubo (36 square feet); in London, 24,000 yen ($12,000) per teubo, and in Osaka, 1,000 yen ($500). In spite of these enormous relative values in New York Mr.) thet in the suburbs of the city, which are every | year brought nearer anf nearer to the business centres, there sre, stil golden chances for tnvestment. He takes paine to declare inci- | dentally thet the Jepanese are wrong in believing thet New Yorkers thing of nothing but money. On the contrary he finds us diligent, | |_ philanthropic and benevolent. 5 The author's one object is frankly to persuade his countrymen to jump in end make big profits in land in and around New York. He points ‘out that while many foreigners own land hereabouts, Jap- anese are not among them. This may be either because the Japan- ese Gietrust their judgment o io lend values and appreciation, or because they believe their right to own land is uncertain. In the latter dowbt, as the Chronicle suggests, lies the curious weakness of Mr. Okamoto’s advice. The Real Property Law of the State of New York includes an act passed in 1909 which provides thet “any citizen of a State or nation WHICH BY ITS LAWS CON- FERS SIMILAR PRIVILEGES ON OITIZENS OF THE UNITED] STATES, may take, acquire, hold and convey land or real estate| within this State in the same manner and with like effect as if such pereon were at the time a citizen of the United States.” But can such reciprocity be claimed to exist? Apparently not. “uy are the — children A law was indeed promulgated in Japan in April, 1910, which nom- | inally gave to foreigners the right to own real estate in Japan. | bestowed upon the ittie Jarre uy ¢ : But this law contained a clause epecifying that an imperial ordinance | ther the other evening that some Im) portant social event was in prospect. | should be necessary to put the act into effect.

But come and dine at mine house and I will introduce thee unto a SWEET GIRL.’ | “And the Bachelor (for that his judgment had forsaken him, and it wes the month of June and roses, when a man is asop with sentiment) consented. | “Now, as they went their way toward BROOKLYN, the Bachelor ex- | tended unto his friend a cigar. But the other sighed and answercd: “‘Nay! I amoke no more. My wife does not LIKE it.’ “Then the Bachelor said: ‘Lo, it is hot and dusty, and I am a thirsty soul, Core with me and I will buy thee a drink.’ But the Married Man | protested, saying: ‘Nav, I prithee. I drink no more, now that I am MARRIED. “Thereupon the Bachelor sought to ronverse of books and sporte and the latest operas.
