MADE NO HIT WITH HIM.
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: That was happy thought of yours
editoriaIIy expressed In tc-day's issue. that
personally should he relieved of taxation
because of the difficulty of collection, and
that realty should be called on to make up
the deficit.
You admit that last year this personally
tax netted some $4,000, with some $3,500.-
600 uncollectible. and that realty stood the
gaff to an amount of $l00.000000. Your
proposition, therefore, is to relieve person
atty of the $4,000 which it admits itself
willing to pay. and to raise realty the 4
per cent necessary to cover the deficit.
How will this strike the little householder.
struggling now with increasing tax rate
in addition to meeting his mortgage interest
charges? Is it fair that he should bear the
burden, while the man who collects interest
and probably some stray dividends from
other sources hastily invests the returns in
some non-taxable securities. the while dom
iciled here in apartments or hotel. enjoy
ing the comforts and protection afforded
him by Il budget wholly supported by re-
atty? With an increasing tax rate, as we
are led to foresee, with the additional bur
den you propose. / am inclined to believe
the only hope is q greater degree of con-
gestion-not the spreading out that would
follow the smaller development OF homes
for individual families.
Why could not the date of the personality
tax levy and collection. by law or other
wise, be advanced TO show the net amount
to be available before the tax rate is deter
mined? Certainly not all so favored should
be allowed to escape because of the evaslvc-
ness of some or the inaptitude of the tax
collector to guess who actually has the
goods" or because of insufficient laws! Let
the burden of government be equitabIy dis
tributed-and nail the shirkers

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
PUZZLED OVER CITY FINANCES.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sill: Can it be possible that the city's
financial transactions have been carried on
in the way you describe without the Bu-
reau of Municipal Research having discov-
cred and denounced them? That institu-
ton has taken great interest even in such
things as the excessive cost of rubber
erasers, and has been admitted almost TO
partnership in the Finance Department in
the course of introducing its new methods
of accounting. I tlrd it difficult to believe
that trust funds have been depleted, cor
porate stock moneys miSused and revenue
bonds issued for purposes not authorized
by the charter, you declare, without the
bureau in it's elaborate Investigations hav-
ing discovered It and having published the
facts, as they are much more important
than the discovery that supplies cost too
much.
l look for an authoritative denial OF the
correctness of your statements. for If they
are true they should have been made PUBIC
and corrected before now. f. G- N

operation in this instance is for the pur-
pose of removing tattoo marks from the
patients hands by grating flesh from
the back in place of that which was so
carefully spoiled by the tattooer's needle,

pleased by the variegated evidences of

in this sort of art should bear in mind

The reports that a. J. Idttlejohn, who is
making a trip by trolley of 200 miles
from Syracuse to St. LoUiS-had finished
the first lap Of about 1910 miles to Chi
cago in about forty hours. will be read
with interest by d New Yorker who never
fails 70 make use OF the trolley when he
can do so on his travels. His family went
to Saratoga last season by boat and train.
and he followed by trolley. On the return
trip he made detours into New England
and reached New York by route different
from the one he had taken when he fol-
lowed his family. The difference in cost
and the charm Of the democratic mode of
travel are always fruitful topics to this
enthusiast Last week he was asked to a
house party in Westchester County and
accepted His friends all went by automo-
biIe-he preferred the trolley. Near Ma
maroneCk he came upon his friends, stand

argument in favor of 1.-The poor mans au-

In many of the schools of Georgia to-
day will be observed with elaborate pro-
grammes. and in the larger places speak
ers of prominence Will address the young
people. While the pupils themselves
will probably receive the greatest benefit
from the exercises, parents can hardly
fail TO develop a keener interest in the
things that most concern them. Too
many young people are permitted to
grow up with a very limited knowledge
Of their own state. and to this Is partly
due, no doubt, that interchange Of popu-
lation which is so notable a feature of
American life. The New York farmer
goes West in search of greater oppor-
tunity and the Westerncr returns to the
East to develop the exhausted acres
which his father left a generation ago,
or to enter business or professional life
IL one Of its cities. AS often as not,
perhaps. they would have found just as
great opportunities at home If they had
known how to look for them.
