subject who has become naturalized
abroad is liable on returning to Russia
TO be prosecuted for any anterior Of
fences, including the crime Of unlicensed
naturalization in a foreign country.
And the Russian government steadfastly
declines to make any exception to that
law in favor Of American citizens. 1t Is
true that the treaty of 1882 provides
that American citizens I'm Russia snail
enjoy certain rights and privileges, with
out distinction between native and nat
uralized citizens. But it also adds that
this provision shall not derogate from
the force of Russian laws intended to
prevent the emigration Of Russian sub
jects.
The validity Of such laws Is OF course
not disputed b. the United States, ana
probably would not be if no treaty pro-
vision on the subject existed. The logl-
cal American contention, however, Is
that such domestic police laws can be
exercised and enforced only in Russia, to
prevent the emigration of subjects, and
that when a Russian escapes from Rus
sian Jurisdiction and becomes a natural
lied American citizen he is, or should be,
endowed with all the privileges and I'M
munities of any American citizen. This
Russia persists in denying, holding that
the breaking Of her law against expatria-
ton is punishable equally with the
breaking of the law against larceny CT
murder. The question may arise, there
fore, not merely how American Jews are
to be treated in Russia, but whether any
discrimination is to be observed between
native and naturalized American citl-

SHIFTING THE TAX TO LAND.

1t is to be hoped that everybody who
without adequate consideration is lend
ing his support TO the Congestion Com
missions bill for shifting part Of the
real property taxation in this city from
buildings to land will read Professor J.
B. Clark's able letter in yesterday morn
ings Tribune. In temperate, lucid and
convincing manner 1t explains the prob
able consequences OF such legislation,
and it should give pause to those who are
advocating this bill IN the belief that It
will relieve congestion. The proponents
Of the measure caused It to he drafted
with the design OF putting penalty upon
the holding Of unoccupied land. Pro
fessor Clark shows that it would prob
ably defeat it's own purpose by putting a
penalty upon the owning Of buildings
Since buildings decrease in value
through deterioration investors in real
property look to the increase Of the
value Of the land on which they stand to
reimburse them for their loss on the de-
preciating buildings and to yield them
some profit besides. This bill aims TO
prevent the enhancement Of land values.
It's avowed purpose is TO stop the hold
ing Of land for speculative purposes,
and it strikes directly at land values
through increasing the burden on land.
AS Professor Clark remarks, one Of the
tendencies that make for the relief Of
congestion IS home buying on the out
skirts OF the city, and one inducement 10
that home buying IS the confident expcc.
tation that through its increase in value
the land thus bought will not only Offset
the depreciation Of the house but yield
profit in addition. This bill to relieve
congestion would take away one of the
inducements to home owning Equally 1t
would take away one Of the inducements
to owning dwellings or apartment houses
for rental purposes, unless through an
increase in rents sinking fund were
created to provide for depreciation, TO
take the place Of that now automatically
furnished by the increase in land values.
But if rents were thus advanced the bill
would defeat its own purpose.

4 DLEEERENCE OF SLY

The judgment of the court upon the
brawlers and rioters of Tuesday in Lon
don is variously regarded. BY some it
is denounced as outrageously oppressive
while others look upon II as lenient
Probably the majority think that in the
circumstances it was about as fair and
right as could be expected. Yet it is i'm
possible TO avoid the reflection that, I'M
der precisely the same circumstances but
with merely Il difference In the sex Of
the offenders, that judgment would nee
essarily have been radically different
Here was an organized band Of DELHI,
crate lawbreakers, obstructing traffic, de,
stroying property, aSsaulting officers Of
the law in the discharge of their duty
and endangering human life. 1t was
mob, no more and no less. Had it been
composed Of male offenders the police
would have used their batons freely, if
indeed not their pistols, or would have
been rightly censured for not doing so,
and the prisoners would have been sub
jected 10 heavy penalties, with the gen
eral approval Of the law-abiding public.
But they were female offenders instead.
Had the police resOrted TO the very
means Of quelling or restraining them
which would have been approved In the
case Of male rioters they and their com
handing officers would have been pillor-
led for eXecration and the government
under which they served might have
been howled out Of office by political
revolution. Indeed. a difference of sex
does make all the difference i'm the
world.
Yet what is the inexorable logical Sc
quel TO these considerations? Simply
this, that these women are seeking what
they demand as equality through the
practice and enjoyment Of the most
marked inequality. They are demanding
the rights of men while relying upon the
privileges Of women They are asking
that they shall be treated rs men, but
are doing il in a way which would be-
impossible if they were not treated as
women. They want to be treated as men
at the polls, but if they were treated as
men when they get up a street riot or
commit fclonious assaults there would
be chorus of protests from Cornwall 10
Caithness. We do not know Of anything
more illogical than that, nor--if We may

Intervention or lead to ii. II is one
thing for a country TO protect its own
citizens who are visiting or domiciled in
another land, and it IS n very different
thing for it to control the government
Of that land and TO exercise sovereignty
over it. This country has often landed
marines or soldiers TO protect its citi-
zens and their property, but It has sell
dom meddled with the general sOver-
eighty Of another state. Even the inter
national operations In the Boxer war
were not intervention In the full sense
Of the term, since they recognized the
inherent sovereignty Of the Chinese
crown and made no effort 10 control or
alter the form of government There IS
distinction with a difference between
political and non-pOlitical Intervention,
and it must be clearly recognized.
The Chinese government and the lead
ers OF the revolutionary movement are
all alike said 10 be earnestly DESTROYS
Of avoiding any kind Of intervention.
This country fully reciprocates that de-
sire. The task Of n0n-pOlitical interyen-
ton would be most repugnant 10 the
government and people Of the United
States, while the prospect Of political
Intervention is not 10 be contemplated.

must hope that America and all other
countries will be spared the titanic and
ungrateful task Of assuming response

PARTIALLY TO IMMIGRANTS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: You printed in yesterdays issue Of
your paper an appeal from Alfred Laurens
Brennan for more drastic legislation with
regard to immigration. The least that can
be said OF his remarks is that they are dis
tlnctly anu-Semitc and deserve TO be con-
demned by every fair minded American. It
seems that the worst he can say OF the i'm
migrant is that no IS not Mr.. Brennan's
kin. but OF Semitic strain. Rather clannish
that: a trait more peculiar TO the Scotch
than the Irish. Because the immigrant
does not hail from England, ireland or
Scotland, but from more distant lands
should we close our doors upon him?

Does the Board of Estimate and APP

ton Of temperament? During the quad
rennial period up TO the first Of January
1910, it used to be Controller Metz and
Borough President Coler who wore their
hearts upon their coat sleeves as they
sat at the table Of the board. They put
personality into the government Of the
city.
Interest in the meetings Of the pres
ent board has been furnished in the
clash Of Mayor GaynOr's temperament
with the temperaments Of his fusion as

resolution requesting the Mayor 10 re-
store certain Items to the budget which
had been stricken out by the Board of

what was the explanation Of the Mayors

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

There is one man in The Bronx who
probably does not appreciate the humor OF
an incident in connection with the election
Of November 7. John Gerhardt, who
served two terms in The Assembly from the
s9d Assembly District at $3.50 year, con-
ceived the idea that the legislators should
have an increase 10 5000 for Assembly
men and $500 for Senator's. That entitled
Gerhardt 10 q denomination, which he re-
celved. But he was defeated, and even II
the constitutional amendment submitted to
the people for their vote IS found to have
been adopted. Gerhardt will not be able to
enjoy the fruit Of his own work. From his
point OF view the joke was a tragedy. 3.
