American Magazine.

AS the laws are today no wealthy
man who has proper legal advice need
pay any direct tax on personal prop
erty" is the statement of Hon. Law
son Purdy, president of the tax COM
mission, 1910, which the author of an
interesting article on the subject
quotes in the December American
Magazine. AS proofs in support of
this statement. the following exam
pies of rich men beat their tax
bills wholly or in part are cited;
MIR Vanderbilt, for instance, has a
place in Long Island covering $50
acres. BY some miracle of good ma
ture the Hampstead assessors rated 1t
at $4,000. II would be great bar
gain at the prlce--but let IL go at that.
His property at CSC Fifth avenue is
estimated at 100000. Now think of
Il mans situation when he has real
estate to the value of 100000, held
for purely residential purposes, and
only 100000 personal property, all
told-money, credits, furniture, orna-
ments, jewellery, everything-to keep
it up with!
"Mr. Payne Whitney, too, has
place of 531 acres at Manhasset, l.. l..
estimated at $t01,5O0. His property
at 972 Fifth avenue is reckoned at
$500 000--total $656.5OO-and his
personal property is assessed at $25,-
600. How do you suppose he keeps
the repairs up?
Mrs. Anna Weightman Penheld,
said to be the richest woman I'm the
world. lives at 7S7 Fifth avenue. and
her property Is assessed at $1,200,OOO
and she pays on a nonresident
personal property assessment of S.
600. How far would $4,000 go In
furniture alone for a house costing
$1,20O,000.?
Robert Goelet lives at sol Fifth
avenue. His house is rated at $780,
900. and his personal assessment in
New York is only $4,000. A white
elephant Is II windfall beside such
misfortune as this.
'Still, 1t appears that things might
be even worse. Mr.. VIM. r. Have
meyer legally resident I'm New Jer-
sey has very good house at 10 East
5Ith street, just off Fifth avenue. ap-
praised at 100000. and has no per-
sonal property at all Mr. Otto H.
Kahn ditto New Jersey, lives at s
East 6Sth street. four doors from
Fifth avenue, estimated at $685. 900,
and he has nothing. He was assessed
at $50,000. but convinced the tax de-
partment that he was more interested
In other forms of charity.
Glorious old Hetty Green! II
there were only more like her, the
superstition would be broken up and
the general property tax would dis
appear She okes out thrifty liv-
ing largely out of New York mort
cages, and pays nothing. She seems
opposed to taxation of any
Kind. Her mortgages contain clause
to the effect that should the state ever
levy an income tax, that moment the
mortgage becomes due and payable"

ReNicM or RcNicMs

There Is a widespread feeling. in
which thousands of Republicans share
that the Democratic victories of last
month are an excellent thing for the
country. The striking victory Of Mr.
floss, as Democratic candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts,, was not
a merely personal affair. Governor
Draper had made an excellent eXecu-
tive, and the voters were not express
ing disapproval of him. New Eng
land desires tariff reciprocity with
Canada and policies more progressive
than those that the Republican party
at Washington has made its own i'm
recent years. The earlier Democratic
victory in Maine was merely "A fore
shadowing Of what Massachusetts did
last month. Republican success i'm
New Hampshire. where Mr.. Bass was
elected governor by a good majority,
can be attributed to the fact that this
progressive young Republican was
nominated as the result of prelim-
mary party house-cleaning. Although
Rhode Island was carried by the Re-
pubicans. II should not be overlooked
that the moral victory was with the
Democrats. This is readily seen when
one remembers that last year Gov
ernor Pothier carried the state by a
majority Of about 10000. while this
year his majority is less than 1000.
When one further keeps in mind the
total population of the state. 1t will
be seen that the shrinkage of the Re
publican vote in Rhode Island Is in
comparably greater than that in New
York. Thus the people who have
been so eager to say that Roosevelt
was rebuked by the Democratic vic
tory in Maine, that Senator Aldrich
was likewise rebuked by the falling
off in Rhode Islands plurality, that
Senator Lodge. by Inference. was
repudiated In Massachusetts,, and that
of them are opposed to Mr.. Lodge.
and If they should combine with the
Democrats 1t Is possible. though un-
likely that Mr.. Lodge may lose his
seat.-From "The Progress of the

TO PLACE DEMOCRAT
ON SUPREME BENCH
Taft Thinks Well Of Lehman
Of 81. Louis.

Washington, Dec. 5. - President
Taft has indicated to callers his in.
tention OF appointing Democrat to
one of the vacancies on the supreme
bench. As the situation stands.
Frederick w. Lehman OF st. Louis
may be named as one OF the asso-
ciate Justices. The president has an
nounced his intention OF appointing
Mr.. Lehman solicitor general to
succeed the late Lloyd w. Bowers,
but the appointment has not yet been
made and the president has contin.
ued to talk favorably OF Mr.. Leh.
mann's chances for the supreme
bench.
Mr.. Taft was pleased TO nnd that
the suggestion of Mr.. Lehman for
the bench met with approval OF pro-
gressive Republicans and many Dem.
ocrats. In politics Mr.. Lehman is
classed as a Democrat. He lives In
tho Eighth judicial district. to which
the president has expressed his de-
sire to go for one of the associate
Justices.
President Taft will look to the east
for the other associate Justice, and
1t Is understood that he has turned
his attention from New Jersey and Is
looking over available material In
Pennsylvania. The names OF Judges
Gummere and swayze of New Jersey,
once prominently mentioned, are now
declared to be practically eliminated.
Two names OF PENNSYLVANIA jurists
are much discussed as possibilities

and Judge James 8. Young, United
States district Judge for the western
district of Pennsylvania.
