ANNUAL MEETING
 AND BANQUT OF
 THE YACHT CLUB

The members of the Bridgeport Yacht Club gathered at the Stratfield last evening for the annual meeting and banquet of the club. The affair was a particularly joyous one in view of the splendid showing made by the club during its past season, socially and financially.

 Commodore, Gen. Henry A. Bishop, fourth term) vice commodore, Judge Carl Foster; rear commodore. c. V. Barrington; secretary and treasurer, T. B. Beecher; board of governors. A. l.. Riker and J. M. Tomlinson.
 As a recognition of the hard work of the secretary-treasurer. MT. Beech CT. the club unanimously voted him $100 wherewith to buy himself @ tes- timonia1 of the clubs esteem.
 Business concluded. the gathering sat down to a very enjoyable banquet. following which the toastmaster, Com modore Bishop. called upon number of speakers, including Mayor E. T. Buckingham, Senator Garry Paddock, Harbor Master Charles H. Morris, former Commodore Thomas H. Mac donald, former Commodore Wilson Marshall. John Chamberlain. and A. Holland Forbes, president of the Aero Club of Connecticut.

CLERKS
 HOLD BANQUET

At Irwin's Arcade restaurant last evening, about 50 members of the Re- tail Clerks association sat down to the annual meeting and banquet of the association. Former Alderman J. T. Connors, the president, presided as postmaster and called as one of the first speakers, John J. O'Neill.
 MT. O'Neill explained the usefulness of the Clerks association in obtaining shorter hours and better working con- ditions for the clerks through the CO., operation of other branches of orga- nized labor He asked that the clerks be considerate in their demands, re- membering that the majority of work ingmen have but one opportunity Saturday night-for visiting the stores. He urged the members to be loyal to their organization and to strive in every way to be useful to it.
 Another very interesting speaker was T. Stuart Reid, who followed up MT. O'Neill's remarks in a very able manner and made an excellent inn pression upon his hearers. He show ed the clerks the necessity of political activity to secure the betterment of conditions for the working classes.
 Other speakers who gave excellent toasts were Edward Lonegran, Ran dolph Lyon and George Madden.

EXPLAINS PROPER WAY OF ASSESSING
 CITY REAL ESTATE.

Before the Bridgeport Business Mems association at The Stratfield last evening, W. A. Somers, New York real estate expert, explained the Cleveland system of taxation, particu- lariy as applied to the appraisal of land values.
 His system is something along the lines of single-tax, and based on the theory that land values may be deter mined and taxed strictly according to their location within definite areas. and not according to the amount of i1mproveme upon them.
 The advantage and fairness of this system, as opposed to the present may be seen in the fact that 1t en- courages the Improvement of land and discourages the holding of bar ren real-estate for speculative pur- poses
 Under the present system, the hold CT of unimproved real estate may escape taxation, securing a low valua- ton for his holdings on the ground that they are 'unimproved'; whereas the man who has put valuable struc- lures upon his land, is assessed more heavily for the land itself, the city thus actually discouraging the cree ton of new buildings and the start ing of business enterprises. and en- couraging the holding of land for speculative purposes.
 MT. Somers maintained in his argu- ment that the value of any real es- tate may be determined strictly by its location with reference to the center of population and business. A com mittee of experts may fix definite areas, with certain units of assess ment per front foot. This method of assessment, MT. Somers believes, is very much more fair than the pres ent more or less slip-shod arrange rnent. and has the further advantage of encouraging the growth of the city and discouraging the speculation which makes land values proh. oitive and retards a city's expansion.

S. E. VINCENT'S TALK ON TARIFF
 BOARD QUESTION

Samuel E. Vincent made most fa- vorable impression on the Bridgeport Business Mems Association when he night, on the subject of tariff com mission.
 Mr. Vincent made it apparent that he has investigated this subject with his usual thoroughness. He attended the recent convention at Washington which discussed this question. and was able to lay before the Business Mems Association number of facts and figures which showed with startling system. the national tariff is laid in the most haphazard and slip-shod way, except such portions of it as are de- signed to favor the special inter ests."
 That the only scientific and proper method of laying the tariff is through the creation of a permanent commits sion with the means and power to thoroughly investigate every item of the entire schedule, and to change the tariff from time to time as markets and manufacturing conditions vary, was clearly demonstrated by the speaker.
 Such commission, explained MT. Vincent. could meet the hearty ap- proval of every one, protectfonists and free traders alike, as 1t is to be an entirely non-political body, and aimed simply to arrange the exact tariff af- fording the proper protection and not one. whit more. thus favoring no spe- cial interests and at the same time keeping foreign competition within it's proper sphere.
 The making of a tariff on any par ticular schedule. under such condi- tions. would be based upon the calcu- lations of experts, with reference to market conditions at home and abroad, the cost of manufacturing the article or commodity in question here and abroad, the transportation prob lem and all the other items that would reasonably enter into consideration. Then with these facts before it. the commission might lay a tariff design ed to balance as exactly as possible the differences here and abroad, with the idea of making competition abso- lutely fair and open.

BALKAN POWERS
 IN CONCERT AGAINST TURKEY
(Special from United Press. ]

Vienna, Jan. 1S-An anti-Turkish coalition of Balkan powers, which bids fair to throw that trouble spot" into eruption again, is now nearing completion, according to information that reached the foreign office, today.
 Servia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Rou- mania and Greece are declared to be in league to curb Turkish aggressions in the Balkans. The Servian govern ment has guaranteed a subsidy of $S,- 900 to support a guerilla harrassment along the Turkish frontier, Servian bands acting in conjunction with the Montenegrans. The negro conserva tive party that has taken office in Roumania is known to be violently anti-Turkish.
 It is the belief here that the moment Turkey shows open hostility to any of these menacing moves, the small CT powers will act in concert in open warfare against her.
