MOUNTED POLICE
FEATURE OF SHOW
Army Charger Captures Cup
at Madison Square.

New York. Nov 2O.-In a varied day
at the horse snow in Madison Square
Garden the. feature which brought the
most general applause to-day from boxes
up to the topmost galleries was the dis
play by the mounted traffic police.
Indeed. for the first time in the memory
of horse show habitues, there was at
the rail a fist fight, because among the
five selected for final judging the claims

with a straightOut punch. The fighters
were outside the Garden in jiffy, how

Dony, ridden by PatroIman Edward

the most ceremonial manner of this very
ceremonial festivity. The guidon bearer

Mayor Gaynor came in late and missed
the remarkable perfection of the evolu-
lions which sent the spectators into a
cumulative frenzy of enthusiasm. They
did the four abreast, the two abreast,

single files, circles and figure eights-not
a misstep, not a break in alignment hap

OF next interest and of considerable
significance, was the capture of the Plaza

by Capt. Guy V. Henry.

from this and other competitions That

Terming the present system of tax
alton in the District "inequitable, un-
just, and unscientific." the Central La
Dor Union, at its weekly meeting last
night, adopted a resolution favoring a
tax on land values exclusive of improve
ments, on franchises, banks, and such
occupations as may be wisely taxed for
the public welfare The organization
also favored an amendment to the real
estate assessment law, to remove the
present assessment on Improvements at
the rate of not less than 20 per cent
each year until the tax is entirely re-
moved, and provision that the per-
centage of value deducted from I'M
provements each year be transferred to
land values
OYSTER SUPPORTS RESOLUTION
The resolution was introduced by Dele
gate E. w. Oyster. Mr.. Oyster dwelt on
the injustice and inconsistency under the
present system. He said that assess
ments on many small residences had
been unjustly increased, and that i'm
provements had been assessed higher in
proportion to value than land. Mr.. Oys-
ter said that in many cases land had
been assessed at less than one-fourth OF
the true value while improvements had
been assessed at from 40 to 20 pr cent OF
their true value He said an honest
assessment of two-thirds OF the true
value of land in the District would pro-
duce more revenue than is received under
the inequitable assessments on both land
and improvements.
For Annual Assessment.
The resolution also strongly Endorsed
the proposed change from a trienniaI to
