Loe and louder grow the plaints of real estate owners that for three years. past the edministration of the city has been piling an unfair load of taxation on realty. The city, they claim, does not make an honest effort to collect the “Personal Tax.” It prefers the less srdoous job of getting the money out of tangible veal estate. According to figures which Thomes F. Larkin of Brooklya weoently laid before the Ralph Avenue Board of Trade the city’s personal tax assessment dropped from $872,644,825 im 1010 to 9042,968;540 in 1919. On the other hand, during the eame two years Gho sasessed valuation of real estate rose from §7,044,192,674 to . In other words there was an incrense of over $9889,000;000 in the assessed valuetion of realty, while the personal femdroreased by more than $29,000,000. Three million dollars was eBied:to the valuation of Brooklyn laid in 1921. Moreover, Mr. ‘Techie Goclares that real estate owners are finding out to their cost Sew. litle there is in the theory that increased valuation of prop- ede tn oe uiterts eae Go ee -ef land who pay heavy taxes bitterly resent the amended fam@ow of-1912 applying to secured debt.

The assesment of real estate in New York has increased a billion dollars in the lest five years. Realty owners point out that 90 per cent. of the city revenue comes from real estate. City depart- ments grow more and more extravagant. To run the Tax Depart- ment alone cost $75,000 more in 1918 than in 1910. And yet, say the real esjgte men, personal property is constantly being provided with easy avenues of escape, while the city leans more and moré heavily on its real estate owners when it comes to footing the bills. ————_=4- s ‘When Johs Hays Hammond as a witness reports on fects he Is worth $1.50 per day.

Father Vaughan fe a shrewd observer. If he had listened to “experts” whose “profession” is to prove that American workingmen -afe fools and slaves who only better themselves by hatred and dyna- mite; if he had taken from the samo authorities the tip that “all the natural resourcesf the country are in hock to Rockefeller,” he might have carried home different counsels to his fellow Britishers. Aa it is he asys: “Do I recommend the workingman to go to America? I recommend anybody to go who goes with the determination to take bis coat off, roll up his sleeves, put his back to the work and let the gweet:roll down.” Father Vaughan hae a happy knack of eluding misinformation. ——-+ Stockholders of the New York, New Haven and fttora Ratl- road have organized to count the cost of trying to swallow New Bagland.
