THE LAW or THE BILLBOARD.

Missouri reports an encouraging steD
in the campaign against the public
nuisance of dangerous and offensive bill
boards and advertising hoardings. A
few years ago an attempt TO deal with
the matter was made in New Jersey.
The Governor of that state In mes
sage 10 the Legislature called attention
to the need of doing something in the
interest of a suffering and indignant
puhlic." and he suggested the imposi-
ticn Of high tax. There was no doubt
about the sufferings and indignation Of
the public. but the Legislature did moth
ing. 4 few municipalities adopted tax
alton systems. with Indifferent success,
but the general nuisance remained and
remains undated.

fact, il was of much Importance. since
the financial interests involved in the

To the Editor of TIE Tribune.
Sir do not agree with the conclusions
reached by the Committee on Congestion
Of Population or those of the Allied Real
Estate Interests that are causing so much
discussion among owners Of real estate
regarding The effect that will follow as
result Of the annual reduction ~ 10 PEI
cent in the tax on improvements upon
land TIL reduction Of 80 per cent has been
reached.
II appears To mo that me exemption from
taxation Of all Improvements on land in
the city of New York and the addition TO
the value or rent Of land of the tax taken
off all improvements would not reduce the
net rent Of land or the selling price of real
estate, because the present annual tax on
improvements on land discourages the maxi
Ing of such improvements, and thus lessons
tho demand for land and therefore lessons
the rent Of land. both gross and net.
The abolition of all taxes on improve
ments upon land would. by increasing the
demand for land. cause an advance In
the gross and net rent NJ land, not a de-
cline and this Increase In net rent would
exceed the increase IN tax on rent OF land
made necessary by the abolition of the tax
on improvements.
1t Is not possible 10 take any step by
which the wealth producing power Of labor
and capital can be increased without IN
creasng the rent Of land. The abolition
81 all tayes on improvements on land Is
such step. HAROLD DORSEY

NY experience with the children who De-

that these children had other perniciou'

Untold riches lie benea tn the feet of the
hardy citizens who have gone TO the

perhaps the richest coal fields In the
world. Alaska has to import coal. Nhat

treasure house 10 which Congress holds

Angry Alaska blames the conservation

THE VETO RECORD.

Governor Dix he's broken the rec
ord" for vetoes. Applause accordingly
should he his. 1t goes to oil record
breakers. and il belongs especially TO one
who is the author of so popular an
achievement as nineteen vetoes in one
DAY. In this matter, however, the Gov
e,nor has the advantage Of his prede-
cessors. He has q Legislature on MS
hands which invites vetoes, though II Is
"do.nothing" Legislature, whose ses-
sions bore its members so much that
many are always absent. and there will
be general surprise that 1t succeeded in
putting nineteen bills in the Governors
hands. That the nineteen were bad IS,
however. what was to he expected.
There is no reason why that veto rec
ord should stand long. As in the new
sport of aeronautics the records OF TO-
dav are outdistanced and forgotten to-
morrow. so It should be with this ses-
sion such are the facilities likely to he
placed in the Governors hands for max
ing new veto records. II the public had
entire confidence in the Governor as a
performer In its interest 1t would expect
veto record that would stand for all
time TO be made when Tammany puts
across" the mass Of vicious legislation
that now awaits the favorable moment
for the party whip TO compel the at
tendance OF enough Democrats 10 insure

that policy and calls il 'insincere''
