chairman Of the council, to succeed
John Clahin, who had resigned. Ed
ward c. Blum, of the firm of Abraham
& Straus, was elected as a represent
atiye to the council from Brooklyn.
The council has sent out strong
and urgent appeal for cooperation
among all the taxpayers organizations
of greater New York. in order to
launch new policv of co-ordinated
action among property owners. The
property owners have too often fought
large battles single-handed, when uni
ty Of interests demanded unity of ac-
ton Consequently, the various real
estate associations and property own
ers' organizations have been requested
to unite and support the council IN ITS
attitude upon such real estate matters
as will be considered and approved or
by the council.
The law and legislative committee Of
the Advisory Council of Real Estate
interests, at a recent regular weekly
meeting, thoroughly considered those
provisions of the national war tax bill
which affect real estate.
The committee, however, has got in
touch with the subcommittee of the
Senate Finance Committee, which is
now examining those provisions OF the
law that are of vital interest TO prop
ertv owners. It has suggested change
in two points Of the bill, namely. the
tax on conveyances and the tax on
mortgages and assignments OF zeal
estate. as under the 1898 law this bill
leyies a tax Of 81 a thousand on the
consideration or value of the property
conveyed.
Under the 1898 law this was held 10
mean that the amount of stamps was
required 10 represent the entire value
of the property, including the amount
represented by mortgages, and that II
was not TO be measured by the amount
Of equity or interest conveyed. IL IS
contended that such tax would not
be equable, as all that is conveyed or
paid for is the equity over and above
mortgage Indebtedness. The commit
lee has suggested a change so that the
amount of the tax will be measured by
the consideration which actually passes
between the parties and the thing
which is conveyed.
The second change suggested was
relative 70 the tax on mortgages,
qhich is in form similar to the tax on
mortgages in the 1898 law. The rate is
80 cents a thousand on each $1,000 OF
mortgage over and above the first
81 900 The committee believes II there
must be "A tax on mortgages that. in
addition to taxing mortgages when
made and first transfer or renewal
thereon. It is improper TO also tax
other subsequent assignments or re-
rewals, inasmuch as other taxes upon
Indebtedness fall upon the debtor.

NO CHANCE FOR HIM THEN
Unlucky Man Realizes That Opportu'
nifty for That Day Had Departed
From Him.

An official OF the st. Paul road tells
how when a certain branch in Mime
sofa was in course Of construction, its
progress was a matter Of great inter
est to the people Of the region. A
farmer who sold provisions to the con-
tractors often reached the place where
the men were at work at meal time.
The work was hard, and when the bell
rang every man made a dash for the
table, and before one could believe it
possible, the food had disappeared.
On one occasion a workman, on
his way to the table, tripped over
the root of a tree and fell. He lay
quite still, making no attempt to
rise.
At this juncture the farmer rushed
up in great concern. The fallen one
assurd him that he was not badly
hurt.
why don't you get up and go to
dinner?"
What's the use?" asked the man
on the ground. Its too late now"

Her Only Justification.

Senator Roots capture of the $4O,-
900 Nobel peace prize recalls the
R~ooseveltian dictum hat Root is the
ablest man in America
TT recalls also many stories OF Mr..
Roots brilliance at the bar. One OF
these stories is about a woman who
sued a railroad company for SIS 900
for the loss OF her thumb, which had
been destroyed in a rear-end collision.
Mr.. Root-a young man then
opened the defense with the words:
twenty-five thousand dollars for
the loss of a thumb. Well, gentlemen
of the jury, the only justification i
can see for so exorbitant a claim is
that it was the thumb the lady kept
her husband under"
