NEW YORK, Sept 2S.-Cheered
by thousand men and women as
he entered the banquet hall on the
arm of Rear Admiral Schley, DR.. F.
Cook told his story tonight before
the most brilliant audience he has
addressed since he left the court of
Denmark. The banquet was given
by the Arctic Club of America, of
which Cook is a member.
DR.. Cook detailed many of his
polar experiences, and insisted that
his exploit furnished honor enough
for all. He declared that he want
ed to divide the praise with the ex-
plorers of the past, upon whose ex-
periences he had won; with the Es-
kimos, whose customs he had adopt
ed with victorious effect. and with
Bradley, who financed his expedi-
ton. Cook stated that he had dis
covered a new land along the 1O2nd
meridian, between the Saith and
S5th parallel. Beyond that point
he said there was no life and no
land.

his attention primarily to a consid-
Grafton of methods of freeing the
assessment and collection of that
tax from the inequalities which now
accompany them. Those inequali-
ties are numerous and grave. In the
country many townships can be
found in which a farm with SELL
ing value Of $4,000 is subject to the
same tax as a second farm in an
other part of the township with a
selling value of $4,000; and the
townships are legion in number in
which farm property is assessed at

that assigned to forest land, and the
property used for residential, man.

Mr.. Powers outlined his idea of
the method which should govern
the listing of real property. The
state should prepare careful cadas-
ter of all real estate, he said, this
cadaster to show the acreage under
cultivation, that covered with tim
ber, with orchards. waste land and
land which may be plowed.
When we have a classified list
ing of acre property that segregates
areas and values according to the
character of the land, and separate
ly sets forth the values of the i'm
provements on every class of land,
we will have the application of the
analytical and statistical method to
the taxation of realty" continued
Mr.. Powers. I'VE shall have as in
telligent and as lucid statement of
acre property subject to taxation as
some of our states now provide
their citizens with reference to per-
sonal property subject to the tax.
When such a listing Is made. the
farmers and other classes OF eitl-
zens will have the data for deter
mining approximately whether they
are being taxed more than other
classes; and the people engaged In
productive Industries will know
whether they are bearing burdens

girl dressed in knickerbockers. She
was matched against two older rid
