iad REALTY WLLASK COURTS TO BLOCK DET STATE If Governor Refuses Fair Pub- lic Hearing, Injunction Will Stop Bond Issue. Realty will appeal to the courts to halt the $20,000,000 direct State tax. Although it looks as if Father Knickerbocker must pay hia huge tri- bute to up-State politicians for an- other year at least, real estate leaders are not acknowledging defeat an yet. They have discovered that the plot to plunder Greater New York realty was lald long Before The Evening World began its series of articles exposing sross extravagance and financial mis- management throughout the State de- partments. As wi dicated several weeks ago, the combination of up-State interests and the so-called Wall Street Money Trust group has been able again to force its will against the protests of honest taxpayers. The Money Trust coterie gets protection for tax-dodging ‘on billions of personal property, while the up-State crowd not only continues to dodge taxes on $2,000,000,000 or more of realty but obtains millions of ready cash from New York City for salary grabs and public improvements in all sections, WHY CITY MUST PAY IMMENSE TRIBUTE TO STATE. Investigations by realty organiza- tion representatives are showing that: 1. Gov. Whitman is not personally responsible for the direct tax levy of $20,000,000, which he has declared for several days that ould make a law. 2. The plan to create an wnneces- sary big surplus in the State Treasury ——————— PAINFUL PIMPLES GATHERED ON FACE Also Blackheads, Burned, So Disfig- ured Gave Up Hope, Cuticura Soap and Cuticura{Ointment Healed, * 1300 Stebbins Ave., Bronx, New York -—"About four months ago such as ulation of bleckheads and pimples on my face that my looks were marred vore- pletely.

This opens a situation which realty and civic leaders who are not bound by political ties are studying care-/ fully. They believe that the alleged combination can be defeated with proper publicity. To this end they are striving for a final hearing before | 1 the Governor, President wart Browne of the United Real Estate Owners’ Aasoocia- tion and the Advisory Counell of Real Estate Interests are sending out urgent calle to all realty and civic bodies for cencentrated pressure upon the Governor, They want a epecial real estate hearing on Monday. His time limit for signing the direct t levy extends to midnight of that da: and they hope to convince him that a special session of the Legisiatui should be called to correct the mud- die of taxation that was left by the regular session. The Advisory Council has been fol- lowing the hearings and other details closely through @ committee consist- ing of Cyrus C. Miller as Chairman, Willard V. King, Alfred B. Marling and President Thomas M. Mulry of the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank. The committee in its call to taxpayers says that the Governor ap- parently intends to let the $2,600,000 which he has cut from the depart- mental budget remain as a surplus in the State Treasury, thus depriving taxpayers of any benefit that might come from the reductions, TO FORCE SPECIAL S8ION OF THE LEGISLATURE. “Inasmuch as the tax burden on New York City is very heavy,” says the committee, “we urge all property owners to show the Governor the necessity of eliminating the economies which he effected from the direct tax. If this can be done only by calling @ special session of the Legislature, then this should be his course. Under the depressed real estate conditions in city, it would be wise for the Governor to adopt heroic remedies in reducing the direct tax rather than permit a large surplus to accumu-| late.” Independently of other means, the United Real Estate Owners Aasoc! tions will bring injunction proceed- ings against the State Comptroller to stop the proposed insue of $5,000,000 bonds on a seven-year term. The} issue is intended to meet deficits in revenue, | “The State Constitution provides that the State cannot contract « debt | of more than $1,000,000 for auch pur- poses, id President Browne yester- day. o believe this ts good law and that we can stop the bond lasue permanently. Then, of course, the entire matter of the direct State tax would have to be taken up by the Legislature again and the injunction will act automatically to halt the levy. When we get the Legislature in seusion the whole matter can be fought out anew.” | ——_——_— | | | | | | WILL 60 TO CHAIR FOR HIRING MAN TO KILL Leggio, Who Planned Death of Ma- rino, Is Found Guilty in the First, Degree. | The Bing Bing Prison death house) will soon ehelter, besides Charies!
