THE IVY HILL A

HE Ivy Hill tract in South Orange, which has been selected
as the site for a new and improved city amshouse, was
purchased years ago by the Board of Works as Il site for a
reservoir, which was never built. The price was 100000. AS the
city could sell the tract today for 100000 it was a paying invest
ment. When the Martin act for adjustment of past due taxes and
assessments was passed there were hundreds of acres of unimproyed
land in the citys outskirts that had never paid a dollar of tax OF
assessment, and the amounts due appropriated the value of the
land. Their owners would rather have forfeited the properties
than pay what they owed to the city. The Martin act let them off
easily. If Newark had taken possession of these tracts and held
them, giving leases for improvements, it would now have a big
income from land rentals. as Philadelphia and a few other cities
possess. These tracts have appreciated i'll value to a much greater
extent than the Ivy Hill tract, the price for which when the city
purchased it was deemed exorbitant.

ABOUT MENx
%eUWoW

Samuel Birn-"Sam" it is for those
House-is the Oldest court crier in
point of service of any of those impor-
tant functionaries and, with his mem
cries of seventeen years of interesting
work and association with the jul
dietary, he can talk of men, some of
whom most of us have forgotten and
some of whom have stepped into the
bright light of State and national po-
sitions. -
Sam opened up the other day and
talked for awhile, giving what were
really appropriations of former Gov
ernor Fort, who left the Supreme Court
to go to Trenton; of Judges Ten Fyck,
Davis, Skinner and Kirkpatrick. and
it seems superfiuous to say that his
nearer was more than ever impressed
with the bigness of the men who have
served the people on the bench.

TAX EXEMPTION AND SINGLE TAX.

IT I is only a step from the recommendation by the State Board of
Ii Equalization for exempting household goods and personal eff.
fects from assessment for taxation to the "single tax" propo-
suion advocated by George L. Record of placing all taxes on land
alone. If household goods and personal effects, why not machinery
and tools? And if these are exempted, why not factory buildings
and materials, raw and manufactured? Stocks of goods in stores,
representing the product of labor and enterprise, would be equally
entitled to exemption, and how could we consistently then tax stores
and dwellings built by labor and enterprise? Logically, the recon-
mendation by the State board leads straight to the single tax.

IT us seldom that there is witnessed in the country or in Congress
a unity of sentiment upon a public question such as that we
now see on the question of the treaty rights of American cti
zes in Russia. This question has been forced upon the administra-
ton by an overpOwering public sentiment after it had been treated
with utter neglect for upward of forty years, and the administra-
ton has sought to find a quick way out of the quandary it was placed
in. Mr.. Taft finds in this case that he is somewhat at fault in his
depreciation of the principle of national honor. 1t is largely the
popular feeling that American citizenship abroad represents the
national honor, which brought out the demand for the proper recep-
tion of American passports, be they held by jew or Gentle. We
know no distinctions of citizenship in the United States and we will
tolerate none in the treatment of American citizens abroad.

All Depends ON the Viewpoint.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A very estimable lady of my ac-
a%uaintance was quite horror-stricken
one day when | told her that the em-
ployees of the various express COM
panies operating in Jersey City, who
were striking for higher wages. threw
missiles at those that took their
places. This good lady deprecated the
fact that civilization has not adj
vanced to the stage where violence of
any sort is looked Upon as a relic of
cave-dwelling days. Needless to say
/ shared this woman's views.
Recently a prominent English suf-
fragette gave it as her opinion that
the throwing of stones, breaking of
windows, and the poking of high gov
eminent officials In the eye were justi-
fable because women must have the
ballot and can get 1t no other way.
The good lady who threw up her
hands in horror at violence in Jersey
City, melted by the thought thai I'M
less the strikers won their families
would have to continue to go hungry,
said that while it was wrong to throw
stones at "scabs'' it was quite the
thing to cripple English officials and
break windows and destroy property.
If murder Is murder" and pigs is
pigs" why is not violence violence?

Fine DO Not Stop Rotten Egg Dealers.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In spite of the many arrests and
fines among their number in New
York, the wholesale dealers in butter,
eggs and bakers supplies are still SELL
ing rotten eggs, SOU cream, etc.
twelve cents a dozen, and when they
can sell them for about thirty or
thirty-five cents a. dozen they figure
that ii is worth the risk of a large fine
to sell them. Before they are caught
they have in most cases made more
than the fine in profits. Newark is not
very far from New York. and let us
be thankful that those conditions do
not exist in this city. Yes, | know
someone will remark about the last
dozen eggs they bought not being up
to the standard. In most cases this is
not the dealers fault. Perhaps he has
been taken in hen he bought them
and does not know it. Perhaps. The
last applies to this city, not New York.

Lets Arcadia Dam Job.

(From Sundays Globe-Democrat.l
An announcement that the Ar
cadia Country Club has let con-
tracts for the construction of a
$4,000 dam to extend across
Stout's creek in the Arcadia VAL
ley was made by John H. Curran,
president of the club, yesterday.
The dam will create a lake Of 800
acres on the club grounds. 1t will
be called Lake Killarney.
The dam will be built by the
Whitener London Realty Com
pany Of st. Louis. It will be of
re-enforced concrete and will ex-
tend 500 feet from bluff to bluff
across the gorge. 1t will be 40 feet
high at its highest point, 20 feet
through at the base and six feet
wide at the top. A power plant
will be established to pump water
and furnish electric light for the
club buildings.
The building of the dam will be
the second step in the work OF
creating a great playground for
st. Louisans, the buying of 5000
acres of land in Iron, st. Francois
and Madison counties having been
the first. The tract is said to be
the only large plot of its kind in
Missouri within a short distance OF
a railroad station, the clubhouse
being only one and one-half miles
from Arcadia. The final cost Of
improvements on the tract will be
$3.50, 900, it is estimated.
AS soonas the dam is completed,
work on the clubhouse will begin.
1t will be built on rustic plans
with wide verandas on all sides.
Golf links, tennis courts, rifle and
archery ranges, running tracks
and other improvements for
athletic sports will be laid out
around the clubhouse.
Each member in the club has
been given d bungalow site on the
lake front and several Of them
already have decided on plans for
buildings. The lake will be
stocked with fish and there will be
q boathouse for persons who like
to sail. The clubhouse will be
kept open all the year.
An automobile road from st.
Louis to Arcadia will accomplished
in q few days and 1t 10 expected il
will become one Of the most pop-
ular highways in the state.
