Editor of the Evening Journal
Dear Sir-Your editorial in yester-
days issue of your widely read jour
nal, under the caption Of "A New
Tax Swindler," contains so many
false premises that it is actually gro
tesque. 1t would seem only fair that
you should have fully investigated
matter as serious as this before
launching inuendoes so unjustly at
the employees of this office. The
bare and .unadulterated facts of this
case are these: Lot 40 in Block
9S2, being the premises known as
913 Tonnele avenue, and assessed to
Soloman Kosoboskie. was sold for
the taxes of 1897 and expenses incl
dent thereto (amounting in all to
$35.1S) at the tax sale of June IS,
1901, the purchaser being The Mayor
and Aldermen of Jersey City. As is
customary in such cases, the City
Comptroller referred this case for
search of title to the New Jersey
Title Guarantee and Trust Company.
Mr.. C. A. Joyce, of that company.
was deputed to inspect the property,
serve notices on the heirs and dis
charge the usual duties incident to
the search. In this manner he was
b1onght into contact with the son of
the former owner Of the property,
who was probably unaware that it
had been sold for taxes, and having
in his possession the bills for the sub
sequent taxes, undoubtedly misun-
derstood Mr.. Joyce's mission, and so
raised the cry of wolf unwarrant-
ably.
1t would seem to us that the
amende is in order.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM ]. DAVIS,
Deputy City Collector.
The editorial to which the letter refer!
appeared in the Evening Journal las
evening. 1t tells how "a citizen called a
the City Collectors Office and complained
that he had been dunned for taxes whiel
be had paid The clerk to whom he show
ed his receipted bill, did not appear t
the remarkable nature of the
complaint and could not remember tht
name or the location Of
his property.
The true inwardness of the 'sJournafs'
petty meanness Is contained in this para
graph of the editorial:-
If no outsider could secure these
blanks and make out tax bills for
the current year and for past years,
then some one who had access to the
blank bills and the Collectors books
must have done it. This is the Seri-
Gus part of the affair.
The entire attack Of the Journal
lpon the Collectors Office is all the more
iespicabIe because it is based entirely
lpon a gross lie. The clerk did remem-
Der enough of the citizen's visit TO lead
@ successful probing of the affair, with
he result mentioned in the letter.

The Ship Subsidy Trick.

The decision Of the House leaders
to postpone the ship subsidy bill un-
til the next session of Congress is

whose possibilities are so well under

been developed into such an art now
adays that the OH masters-the
Aaron Burr and Thurlow Weeds
-wouldappearb unglers il they could
be reincarnated at the national tapi-
tai.
The management of the ship sub
sidy cll illustrates the methods Of
political manipulation that are SO
popular to-day. Its laudable pur-
pose, as announced by its promot-
ers, was TO establish the supremacy
OF the Stars and Stripes ON the high
seas" Unfortunately for their plans
the introduction Of the hill was at

the shipping industry. But the in
n ase of difficulties only sharpened
the wits of the men in charge of the
measure. 1t was held back, pushed
forward and iuckeyed along as cir
cumstances dictated untll its path
suggested the old rhyme:
ltwobbled in and wobbled out,
Cntll the mind was left in doubt
Whether the snake that made the track
Was going south or coming back
At last it was unanswered through
the Senate, only to meet the blow of
the Morgan shipping combine. Its
friends might still have been willing
to risk it in the House had ii not
been for impending congressional
election. In view of this unfortunate
circumstance it has been decided To
postpone action until the next ses.

an issue that might damage the par.
~ this autumn, and it will give time
FOR the excitement over the shipping
trust to die out, Clearly ii is good
politics to let the bill go oyer--nt

behind the measure.
Possibly events may show that
they have miscalculated. There is "A
chance that the voters will not forget
SO easily, They may resent the lack
OF irankness which has characterized
the management Of the measure, and
they may not cease their opposition
to the bill itself. 1t is Just possible
that this latest trick won't work.
