Only 4 SIDE ISSUE.

Critics Of the national publicity bill
seem to be greatly exercised because
only one accounting-after elections
provided for in the measure which
passed the Senate and was reported out
of the conference committee. The bill,
as the House passed it, provided for
two accountings "a preliminary one
from ten to fifteen days before election
and a final one thirty days after. In
stead Of welcoming a law which will
compel complete publicity of campaign
contributions and expenditures, those
faultfinders are trying to spread the
idea that the whole scheme of account
ing will be a failure if Che partial pre-
liminary statement is dispensed with
Thus eur esteemed neighbor, 1.-THE

MI Taft has declared himself in
favor of campaign fund publicity, ana

We have already pointed out that the
aim of the campaign publicity legisla-
ton is to secure full sworn account
Of election contributions and expendi-
lures. All the state corrupt practices
laws have been drawn with that end in
view. They have not required a partial
prediction accounting. because it was
evident that such an accounting would
be of comparatively little value. 1t
could be made to show just as much as
q committee wanted it to show; for
items which 1t might not be considered
desirable to publish could be held over
for the final statement. The double ac-
counting idea is a new development.
Why insist so strenuously on that single
minor feature Of an important reform
which is about to be undertaken and
complain that without it the reform.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS Governor Hughes has declared
there is urgent need Of some adequate
method of bringing the income of the state
UP to the demands on it, with the great an
ruaI increase in the demands" and our
system of taxation now in New York is
neither as equitable nor as satisfactory in
it's results as it should be. is not the time
opportune to consider some other source
from which to draw revenue?
Why may we not consider carefully the
method now used In many European cities
of obtaining revenue by a tax of. say, one
mill Oh the dollar of the unearned fncre-
ment? Is it not better to tax the economic
surplus, the mass of unearned wealth. than
the necessities, comforts Of life and needful
processes OF industry?
Mr.. Lloyd George, in his celebrated land
tax budget showed clearly how the govern
ment could get It's revenues in such a way
that the rich could no longer continue to
make, in the final outcome, the poor man
bear the hardest part of the burden Even
IN the House OF Lords this tax on the un-
earned increment was deemed SO just that
1t received the approving vote of members
who owned a total of more than five hum
dred thousand acres in certain Of the rich
est districts OF England
1t is affirmed that here in New York the
assessed value Of the land and the fran
chises alone amount to the sum of $3.50 and
in Manhattan Borough 10 $1,S76 per capita
OF population
The annual increase in the value of the
land alone hero. as well as i'll our other
large cities, usually exceeds in amount the
total expenditures Of each of the munich
palities And the expioiters of land values
in this city are aided not only by the 150. 900
that is added each year 20 our population
but all improvements, educational. munich
pal, sanitary and philanthropic. contribute
to the enrichment Of those who own ana
profit by this mighty social increment.
All these things enrich the most barren
of building sites in this greater New York,
and all that flows therefrom into the purse
of the owners of the sites is unearned by
them. When they make sales and big
profits. why should they not be willing to
pay part of the profits into the city s
treasury? JOSIAH {. PUMPELLh.

Lad been growing. Five years ago The
more moderate wing of that movement,
the Independence party, led by Francis
Kossuth, son of Louis kossuth, whose
memory is reyered by Magyars and
whose name is still potent TO conjure
with. swept the country at a general
election, and this year Ill WAS expected
tkat that performance would be repeated
under the direction of Mr.. Justh and the
more extreme wing of actual and inl-
mediate separatists. The result of the
late election was almost to annihilate
both those factions, Mr. Kossuth's losing
two-thirds and Mr.. Justh's four-ffths,
and TO give Count -Hedervary,
with his enlightened programme OF con-
tinued union and franchise reform, 8
three -fourrhs majority
This must be regarded as largely, if
not chiefly, 8 personal triumph for the
King; perhaps the crowning triumph of
his life. Francis Joseph has long been
aware of the progress of the separatist
movement and of the widespread fear
that while it might not culminate in his
reign 1t would at the beginning of his
successors, and that after him the King
of Hungary and the Emperor Of Austria
would be two separate persons. It has
been one of his chief concerns to defeat
this movement and to transmit the Dual
Realm unimpaired to his successor, and
he has found ample ways and means of
working to that end without transgress-
inc the bounds of constitutionalism. He
has now succeeded, perhaps beyond his
most sanguine expectations. The great
compromise Of Deak is restored to
greater integrity and power than it has
enjoyed for a quarter Of 9 century, and
if the governments at Budapest and
Vienna are conducted with a reasonable
degree Of tact the spectre of separatism
will be effectually laid for the next
generation.
