ANOTHER FIRST SUGAR ExposER

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In a recent editorial in which YOU
make gOOd-natured reference TO myself l
think you are lacking i'm logic. Judge
Gaynor is progressive Democrat and
therefore probably believes in the refer
endum; which, being true, any statement
that he may have made about serving as
Mayor Tor four years does not count. lie
would not have 10 resign his office TO run
for President il he is called upon by the
Democratic rank and file of the country
10 serve as their standard bearer. which, I
believe, viii be the case. If he is elected
President il would only be after a majority
of the citizens OF greater New York had
favored him for that Office. II would then
be the people themselves releasing him
from any obligation that he might now
consider binding. The voice of the peo-
pie is the voice of God" Ie he should
not be elected, which 1 gravely doubt. in

PRAISE AND FLUCTUATIONS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; Kindly permit me TO join the many
others in congratuIating The Tribune on its
recent reduction TO one cent daily. I'm
doubtedly this will prove OF great benefit
u the newspaper reading public of New
York, and feel sure will win for it large
number OF new subscribers.
Tho Tribune is widely known as the mos.
reliable and authentic newspaper published
In New York. and. whether from an educa-
ticnal or a news point of view, stands for
excellence. I selected it to send TO critical
friends in England a sample of whole
some New York journalism, and found that
IL was thoroughly appreciated on that side
OF the Atlantic.
My best wishes for its increased aud con-
tinued success. AN ENGLISIIMAN

of Commons. is about 10 be acted upon

of Lords. and will. we are assured. be
adhered 10 without further modification
or compromise hy the government. We
may therefore regard il as embodyins
the matured designs Of the Liberal gov
ernment and especially of the Chancellor
of the EXchequer. The portion OF it
which has provoked most comment and
opposition is that which relates 10 the
taxation of land. and as Mr. LLOYD
George is a disciple Of the late Henry
George, il il ~ interest ta observe the
means by which. in The present meas.
ure. lac aims 10 secure the ultimate
abolition of private property In land
and the vestins Of all realty titles i'm
the commune or the nation.
The hin provides for four new taxes
on land. The first is an increment tax.
Land commissioners are To fix the site

in April last, and hereafter. whenever
land j. sold or leased for more than
fourteen years for 4 higher valuation
than that thus fixed. one-iifth Of the
Increase is TO accrue Ia the stale After
The first sale the tax is To be levied ON
th" Increment since the last preceding
sale. In case property does not change
hands. the tax is to he levied on its
asoertained Increase in value every
fifteen years. Thus we may suppose u

emptions from this tax. the chief being
agricultural land of TO higher value
than lis value for agricultural pur-
poses, small houses occupied by their
owners, land occupied by tenements and
crown lands.
The second is a reversi0n tax. amount
ing 10 10 per cent on the Increased
value of land accrulng 10 the owner or
lessor through the determination of a
lease. Thus if piece Of land was
leased on Il valuation OF Si.9p0 and at
the end Of the term, say fifty years. #
WIS found 10 be worth 5000 the re-
Versionary tax would be one tenth of
the 5000 increase, or S4OO. From this
tax agricultural land and land held un-
der short term leases are exempted.
The third tax II tax on ''uudeyeloped"
land. 10 wit. land which is not used
for the erection OF dwellings or for any
business or industry other than agri-
culture. On such land there is TO be
a yearly tax Of ~ on every 500 OF

The serious coal strike in Australia
was originally fomented by professional
agitators from outside the Common
wealth, but it would not have occurred
had il not been for the perversity and
folly Of certain mine prOprietors. VINO
had all along been hostile to the law for
the settlement OF industrial disputes, and
who gave provOcation to a strike by
somewhat arrogantly refusing TO enter a
conference for consideration Of alleged
grievances. That refusal gave the alien
strike organizers the opportunity which
they desired. and a strike was promptly
ordered The leaders, however, have
since put themselves even more in the
wrong than We're the proprietOrs, for
they declare that tile strike is not merely
for redress of grievances and improve
ment Of conditions Of labor, but for the
establishment of complete control over
the mines by the men as against the
owners. 1t is encouraging TO see that
the state government of New South
Wales has refused either 10 purchase
and operate collieries for the supply of
the government services or TO operate
any of the mines temporarily 10 supply
pressing needs. The ultimate aim Of the
Socialists who organized the strike was
ana is To bring about state ownership of
the mines and abolition of private prop
erty, and the government does wisely in
refusing to play into their hands. Hap

THE WOMAN'S CLUB.
Renewed Activities in Anticipation of
Joining the Federation.

The Woman's Club of Palisade held
its last meeting at the residence of
Mrs. Lucien 2. Druck, at which Mrs.
George Fl. Frew read paper on Toll
stoi, and Mrs Capt S. E Darby sang
two songs in her usual graceful style.
Mrs. Frew's paper was greatly en-
joyed There was a good attendance.
The next meeting will be held at
the residence of Mrs Tibbetts.
Modern Composers" will be the sub
ject discussed, and Mrs. Tibbetts will
prepare the special paper for the pro-
gram, and Miss Marion Tibbetts will
furnish the music. Singing to suit
the subject.
Mrs. Samuel E. Darby is Chairman
of the Entertainment Committee, and
has several treats in store for the
coming season.
In this connection it is pertinent
to say that the Woman's Club is re-
newing its activities as a local organi-
zation, in which everyone takes great
pride, and will introduce several in
novations the present season. 1t has
now been determined to admit all
the young married matrons of the
village, besides all of the young ladies.
This should prove a great stimulus to
the purposes OF the Club. and give it
a sterling good membership with
which to present its petition for mem
bership into the New Jersey Fedora

rain that make the soil grow.
