When President Harrison, in
a public address, warned men OF
wealth against the danger Of try
ing to escape from paying their
share of the taxes, he spoke as a
Christian statesman. The Mayor
of New York city has gone a step
further in the same direction. He
has asked of the assessors the privi-
lege of paying $57, 900 more of
taxes than they put down for him.
This is what comes of electing an
eminent Christian for mayor.
