ON CHARGE OF
GIVING SHORT WEIGHT

kell. superintendent Of weights and meas
ures of the District of Columbia, Assist
ant Superintendent George A. Howe
swept down upon the butchers on the
south side Of Louisiana avenue between
9th and 10th streets northwest last night
and as a result George T. Robertson of
90 Louisiana avenue and Harry Sherry
of 94S Louisiana avenue were placed un-
der arrest on a charge of using scales
which did not comply with the standard.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock last night Mr..
Howe passed along the market front and
examined the scales of merchants in the
block. The scales used by Mr.. Robertson
are said to be one ounce short and those
used by Mr.. Sherry one-half ounce short.
The scales were taken by Mr.. Howe,
while the two butchers deposited SO each
at the first precinct police station for
their appearance in the Police Court to-
morrow morning.

leases OF longer than twenty-one years
duration. In England. where nearly
all improvements are made upon leas-
ed land, it is not unusual for land
lord. by the expiration of the lease. to
become possessed of building and other
improvements worth thousands and
hundreds of thousands and even mil
lions OF dollars, for which he was in
no way responsible. The government
wants 10 per cent of the increase in
value or his property thus created.
The third feature is the tax on unde-
veloped land, direct tax of hall penny

every five years. This is the only one

the United States. Strange to say il was
the most objectionable feature of the
entire Lloyd-George scheme. The land

forced to give to the state a portion OF
the money earned for them by the COM
munity, but they regarded as mon

at the heart Of the British aristocracy,
Tor 1t meant tax on the game pre-

that II might force some of the game

these taxes as much to make large land

>'~" >>e~"' as ii did to raise rev.
enues. In this respect it may be said that
the taxes were not bona fide revenue
measures, but were aimed to break up,
as far as possible, the present land sys-
tenn. The tories made the most of the
argument against this abuse Of the tax
ing power, but in the same breath they
clamored for protective tariff to pro-
tect their wheat fields against the pau
per- wheat of America and Argentina.
AS matter of fact the new land taxes
are not revolutionary, except in England.
They are the same taxes as are imposed
in France, In Germany, In the United
States, in Australia, and In practically
every civilized nation in the world. The
hue and cry against the Lloyd-Georse
budget came from a comparatively few

TOmorrOw-The British Crisis.
XIII-The BurdensOme Land System.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-07-17

In every instance where land is rented
the tenant or lessee must pay the rates.
The owner of the
Tenant or Lessee land never pays
~ taxes on his own
A"JS A'"oS' property. This sys-
tenn was arranged by the peers, who are
the principal landowners, over two hun
dred years ago, when they exchanged to
King William this money revenue. to be
paid by their tenants. in lieu of all serv-
ice, tenures and leyies of soldiers due to
the crown from the peers under the re-
naming rules of the feudal system.
So much has been said about the ter
rible socialistic features of this land tax,
it has been so often denounced and so
seldom explained, that it is worth while
to examine into its provisions in order to
find out exactly what the British land
lords are crying about. The new scheme
of taxation is complicated affair, which
at first can produce but little revenue,
but it is regarded as an entering wedge
The principal proposals are threefoid-
the increment duty, the reversion duty
and the undeveloped land duty.
The first provides that in the future
the increase In the value OF land due
to the efforts of society as whole. and
in no wise to the industry or ingenuity Of
the owner, shall be regarded as unearned
increment. and that 70 per cent, or one
fifth, of such increase shall be rafd to
the treasury.
This tax is to be paid only when the
land is Sold or when it changes hands by
reason of the death of the owner In
case it is owned by corporation not
liable to death duties then the tax is to
be paid in 1914 and each seventh year
thereafter The phrase ''unearned incre-
ment" may startle some conservative
Americans who are sensitive to the inf1u-
ences of bugaboos. hut 1t must be remem-
bered that in American states every an
nual or biennial assessment takes into &C
count for purposes Of annual taxation
not only the unearned increment. but also
the original value of the land.

Differs From the
Missouri Custom.

increased by $1,000 because of the build
ing of a new railroad, the state of Mis-
souri, would collect taxes on the total
value. including improvements made at
the. expense of the. owner, as well as the
unearned increment resulting from the
advent of the railroad. In England I'M
der the Lloyd-George budget taxation
no tax would be levied upon the 5000
original value, nor upon the improve
ments. The only thing would be that when
the land was sold. five years or fifty years
hence, the government would take 20
per cent Of the $1,000 unearned incre-
ment, after allowing an exception of the
first 10 per cent increase to the owner
tax free. In a country where land rarely
is sold it Is difficult to see how this tax
would work a hardship.
AS a matter of fact, the Missouri farm
would entirely escape taxation under
the Lloyd-George system, for all pure
ly agricultural land, all land worth
less than $3.50 an acre. all property oc-
cupied by the owner as home, is ex-
cepted from taxation absolutely. In
other words. the tax would be levied
only upon the landlord owners
of rented property of high value used
for other than agricultural purposes
to which the community has contribute
ed generously by increasing its value.
and from which. under the old system.
no taxes could be collected. So much
for the socialistic increment duty.

The Epiourean Badasr.

The badger is a great epicuxs m eggs. and much of tho hostility of gamekeepers to this animal lies un- doubtedly in the fact that it will. when 1t gets the chance. devour a whole nest of partridge or pheasant eggs. Badgers are said also to be fond of honey, and, knowing the extraordinary craving of their South African cousin. the ratel, for this delicacy, I should say 1t is net inproba ble that they may occasionally partake of it. 1t is certain that these animals have a particular liking for the nest and larvae of wasps and wild bees. digging down with strong feet and infinite persever- ance till they attain their object These animals are said by keepers to kill and devour freely young rabbits. That they do partake of this fare at times is. think. certain, but that they destroy any very considerable number is more than doubtful Still. the badg- CT is carnivorous in his tastes and is not, even by his kindliest friends, to be absolved from devouring at times tender rabbits and even the young of game birds when he can get hold of Westminster Gazette.

Stranoe Eishino Matches,

In the olden time in England lords and ladies sometimes invented queer amusements They were always on the lookout for some novelty, and one of the strangest they discovered was fishing by a goose. A line with bait ed hook attached having been fastened to the goose. tied to its leg. she was flung into the water from the boat in which were all the gay lords and la- dies. Then. when a pike caught the bait she was sport indeed. a royal bat tie between bird and fish. and all the time. between the loud splashings, wheelings and nounder1ngs, the on- lockers in the boat giving vent to their feelings in cheers. handclappings and handkerchief waving. But the goose was usually the victor and ended the Hruggle by landing it's prisoner on the shore, where its quack-Quack as it cleared itself from the line and wad- dled away ended the scene. The lake of Monteith. in the southwest of Perth shire, was often the scene of such an- gling matches.

Old Saws and sayino.,

A few old sayings on the subject of food come to US rather as surprise in our age of daintiness and refine ment. yet they have their raison detre notwithstanding. Meat is much, man ners are mere;" Cease your chatter and mind your platter;'' '.Tbe ass that brays most eats least;;" 'oFhe wing with the liver to him who's the giver;' 'eHe can give little to his servant who ncks his own .trencher.".
 Apropos of this remark. it is anus ing to note that manners" was the name given to the remnants of meal These came to the servants as official perquisites; hence our well worn ex- pression before emptying dish, "Leave the last slice tor whatever it may bel for manners" though if votes were collected on this point 1t is hardly likely that any of us would have taken it as it stands in the original.
