species OF tax, viz: the taxation OF all addi-
tional lots kept for lawn purposes, at q
higher rate than that on which the resi-.
dence stands. In other words, he contends
that unproductive property should be
taxed higher than productive property
The object and intent Of this position is 10
compel the owners of such property to
make ii productive, or otherwise expressed,
to force them to build, in order that the
city may thereby be enabled to collect utt
s. much more for its treasury. The
lea smacks Of arbitrary and unjust
legislation. And this same idea
ery now aud then crops out with some.o
our solons at Austin, In some.other mat
ters. We regard the ordinance asa piece OF
dctatoh as to how free man shall dispose
OF his possessions or how he shall employ
his capital. Carried out, it meansthat city
council may equally order the construction
OF seven-story establishment instead ola
single story. The principle means equally
that state shall dictate how Landlord
shall utilize his farm. 1t thus means that
the city or the state shall determine for a
possessor OF property, the question OF his
eyenues. 1t is conceded by nearly, If not
quite all Of the writers on poit-
cal economy, that fairly
assessed income tax is in point Of justice
the iairest of all taxes, however unlessb e
It may now be on account Of the present
low state of public morality through which
tn most conscientious would be the great,
est sufferers. Therefore 1t logically follows
that a tax on productive property is the
f,irest tax And yet here Is piece Of
property lawn lot, WHOLLY unproductive-
uness IL be of real sanitary beneft-which
II is proposed TO tax at rate higher than
tae productive piece which yields house
rent, or It's equivalent II occupied by the
owner, AS this. lawn lot increases In value
like its neighbors, II is assessed
at It's improved valuation
and so contributes accordingly
We fail to comprehend why an excess Of
tax should be levied on such lot because Il
IL assumed that the owner who can afford
such comfort or luxury is able to pay such
increase over those who own merely a resi-
dance lot. II such principle were to CD
tin it would be applicable to other prop
o les and the state or city which act6 d
upon II would soon become the selfcon.t IL
tdted administrator ofall our possessions
and could logically determine how ouI
m nies should oe invested, how our time
and energies should re expended. 1t is
therefore to be hoped that Brooklyn wis
dom will not become epidemic.

the, extreme risk which is neces-
sarily involved in the attempt
TO penetrate any part Of the great
Polar packs. The experienced Arctic
navigator, Leigh Smith, on his last voyage
to Franzloselland, two years ago, took the
precaution TO put large part of his pro-
visions ashore at the very earliest possible
moment so as not to be
entirely at the mercy of the ice. The wis
dom OF this course was demonstrated on ly
a lew days later by the crushing ana sink
ing OF his ship. 1.-THE bulk OF the Proteus
stores and ready-made houses which
she had on BOARD, had been landed
in this way on Littletou Island or Cape
Sabine, AS soon as the ship reached either
OF these points, 1t would not have been nee
essary for Lieutenant Darlington
to seek safety at the uI-
per Navik, 500 miles away,
and the lives OF Lieutenant Greely'S
party would not have been imperled, as
they are now, by an insufficient supply OF
provisions, AT a point where
they had reason to expect
abundance. The responsibility for this
fatal omission must rest, it is said rather
upon the department than upon the officers
TO whom was intrusted the execution OF II.
