Paying Tax Here.
CITY WILL LOSE HEAVILY
Estimates of Amount of the
Exodus Run as High as $780,
100000, but Commis-
sioner Purdy Doubts.

This is the day when the city Tax De-
partment makes it's levy on personal
property AS a consequence 1t is ex-
pected that deposits of banks will show
in the next few days a noticeable shrink
age. while Jersey institutions will enjoy
a corresponding increase.
Estimates on the value of accounts that
will be opened across the river range
from $1000O,OoO to SIS 10000. If either of
these estimates is at all accurate New
York may lose $780, 900 TO $4,000 in taxes,
las the rate is a trife in excess of Is per
cent
Last year II was estimated when tax
levy day came around that the New Jer-
sey institutions would be richer by $50,
10000. but this sum was considered ex-
cessive by officials Of trust companies
which are affected by the temporary
money exodus. 1t was stated, however.
that in years gone by the public took a
much greater advantage Of what 1t con-
sidered an opportunity to avoid taxation.
Lawson W. Purdy, commissioner of the
Tax Department, put little credence in
the idea that New York City was a heavy
loser in this way. He said blank was
sent TO each taxable citizen with the re-
quest that he make list OF his personal
property which came under the tax law
and TO make oath that the list was cor
rect Mr.. Purdy believes in the integrity
,of the average citizen and holds TO the
idea that the city loses little Of what is
Justly coming to 1t.
II is true. however. that in the past
New Jersey banks have competed with
each other for New York deposits around
October l. and this gave rise to reports
of large transfers Of cash TO avoid the
personal property tax. 1t was said yes
terday that no such spirited bidding was
prevalent this fall.
Savings banks feel sure that none OF
their deposits will be removed, as they
are exempt. From the assessed value of
personal property. the owner is allowed TO
deduct the total of all lust debts owing
BY him." subject, however. TO limitations
affecting unregistered secured debts.
Debts which may be deducted are:
Amount owing on bond and mortgage,
on which the person claiming the offset is
liable while he remains the owner;
amount owing on promissory notes
amount owing on book debts or con-
tracts. Just debts also do not include
contingent liabilities as guarantor or In
dorser unless such liabilities have become
fixed, or debts incurred for the purpose
Of evading taxation.
1t is also pointed out by the city Tax
Department that all Intangible personal
property owned by resident, no matter
where the written evidences Of such prop
erty may be- or where the debtor may
reside, is to be assessed in the district
where the owner lives. Thus, a resident

PUEBLOS HAD SKYSCRAPERS
H. j. Spinden Says Their Adobe
Structures Were 5 Stories.

The instinct for building "skyscrapers"
was present in this country as far back
as the 10th century, according TO Herbert
J. Spinden, Of the staff Of the American
Museum of Natural History. who re-
turned yesterday from a five months
period Of research among the Pueblo In
dams in New Mexico. Ii was The Pueblo
Indian who made his Mexican and Indian
brothers dwelling in one-story houses
"rubberneck" at the five-story adobe
structures he reared in such cities as
Walpi, Taos and Acoma.
Mr. Spinden's trip was the fourth he
has made to the region, and he gathered
much valuable material pertaining TO the
religion, art and myths Of the Pueblos.
While the instinct for "skyscrapers"
might not be new with the Indians. the
white plague has been introduced to
them by modernization of their dwellings
and contact with tuberculous whites, ac-
cording to Mr.. Spinden. who said the
disease mad become alarmingly prevalent
among them. Cast-off clothing and the
indiscriminate use of that section of the
country as a resort for consumptives
have also had a bad effect on the health
OF the Indians, he declared.

Telepathy

 One of the experts connected with this pany recently applied for Letters Patent the United States Patent Office specifying three claims in his application. In due course he received off cial notice of interference. investigation has disclosed that about the time in Boston, Mass, preparing his specifications another in ventor in Denver, Colo, preparing his specified tons for identical invention. This is of course not particularly remarkable, but the unusual feat these:
 First Each the inventors made three claims of peculiarly technical character, and each claim described in exactly the same language
 Second. The words of description employed absolutely the fewest in number and the best ants ideas, disclose the invention, and base the claims
 Third The claims could easily have been couched in other language and still have adequately presented the facts.
 Now, here sets of men-each Inven- tor and his Attorney-strangers to each other, hun dreds of miles apart, each set seeking to express three ideas And each selected the same num- Der of words, the words, the best value in tically"

A Simple Question

fear that investigation which will be begun this morning in the legislature, of the com plaints by the citizens of Florence of the over running of that by convicts, has not been approached in the right and the right spirit
 There seems to be a disposition by both sides, Cand there should not be two sides) to involve whole system of prison reform instituted by the administration. in the inquiry. That issue raised by the complaints from Florence At most single incident and perhaps not actually related to it all, has been brought up.
 If gentlemen on one side are desirous of in vestigatng the new prison system and on the other exploiting it, they should choose another time and occasion for such inquiry exploitation
 If the general inquiry is begun the will find itself engaged in heated discussions of ethical questions The whole subject penology which is by no means an exact or agreed-upon science will be thrown open and the matters com pained of by the Forentines will be lost sight any they will receive the disinterested attention they deserve.
 s There is only thing be considered, and that is the accuracy, or want o accuracy. the statements signed by the citizens the mayor and the council of Florence, that convicts dressed in citizens clothes were allowed to mingle with citi- the streets and frequent gatherings where the and girls Florence go This allega- tion seems very easy thing to prove or dsprove If these things have not been going on, that fact ought to be quickly shown and if they have been going on ought no hesitation or division in the legislature regarding it's duty to put an inn mediate stop such proceeding and enact Iegis- lation that would prevent their recurrence.
 Too much bitterness and factional feeling have preceded the investigation. Some the enemies of the governor employing the complaints from Florence a weapon against the administration. Some of the friends of the governor denounced the complaints only expressions of hostility the admin stratiOn.
 We trust that there will be a sensible majority of the committee which will wholly disregard the governor and his enemies this instance and apply itself solely to the inquiry whether the things plained of have been done Only in this way can complete justice be done, to the people of Flor and to the administration.

It has been pointed hoy cooperation in marketing will waste; that the farmer may take leaf from the book of the manufacturers who were first driven into combinations avoid the great expense of distribution, though some of them have used combination for evil purposes.
 There many other ways, than by improved methods of marketing that the farmers may avoid much waste and loss. We may take the Egyptian cotton growing industry of this valley in which so many are about to engage allured by the profits earned by a comparatively few growers last season
 There should be cooperation and an under standing by all growers intending growers be- of cotton is planted this season Before the opening of the season every farmer in the valley who is contemplating the planting cotton
 Experts of the government have warned the acres; that if than that is planted some of wasted that if has threatened, there should totally because there cannot be developed this sufficient labor here to handle than 5000 acres.
 The farmers should get together and decide, not who shall engage in growing and who shall not but the acreage each shall plant in order that the total may be kept within the safety limit Just at the present stage of the cotton grow ing industry in this valley, this a much inn portant matter than the marketing the cotton. The future of the industry here rests, to a large extent on the understanding reached by the growers as to the area of land to be devoted to cotton.
