FAILED To GET
VAST ESTATE

Washington, Dec. 3O.-The state de
parJment has been receiving inquiries
from people of moderate circum
stances and some apparently almost in
poverty, as TO the operations of some
one known as George w. Thatcher,
who has addressed notes TO various
people representing himself TO be the
administrator of vast estates in Eng
land, in which those addressed were
informed they had an interest. Some
at least OF those written 20 paid fees
TO Thatcher and receiving no interests
in the alleged estate inquired of the
state department for information as to
the estates.
The department referred some of
these inquiries TO the United States
embassy at London and has just re
ceived a report from that Office to the
effect that Thatcher had been prose
cuted for fraud and forgery in LONDON
before chancery court in 1899, had
pleaded guilty and been sentenced to
is months Imprisonment. A great
many inquiries came from Dayton,
Ohio. and vicinity.

LVFRYMEN
REFUSE TO
ARBITRATE

Chicago, Dec. 3O.-A positive re-
fusal to arbitrate was the decision of
the joint associations of liverymen
last night on a proposal submitted by
the striking teamsters. The strikers
asked that the adjustment of the whole
difficulty be placed in the hands of
former members of the Chicago board
of arbitration. The reason given by
livery owners for the refusal of the
proposition Of the men was that the
selection Of the arbitraters by drivers
gave the employers no voice in the
matter. Many desertiOns from the
union were reported yesterday. AT the
headquarters OF the hyerymen's aSso-
ciaticn II was claimed that fully so
strikers had applied for their cid jobs
and had been put back to work.

ACTUALLY REMAIN ON THE ONE WHO PAYS

added to the price of the product. CT it
is capitalized into a lower selling value
of the land so that when the land
changes hands the new purchaser
buys himself free of the tax. In city
real estate, either rents go up or the
prices of lots go down, and in the end
t1e community as a whole bears the
burden. In the case of mortgages. a
tax on a man who lends does not re-
main on him. In the case of the rail-
way security, the new purchaser in the
market buys himself free OF the tax.
Under modern conditions the only kind
OF a personal tax that can be made to
rest on the individual is a poll * and

which are condemned by everybody.
The new ideal is a tax on wealth; the
