"All should he taxed. There is
nothing sacred about any form of
property. New York City property
owners have one idea in mind a fixed
tax rate on real estate. and that rate
must not exceed per cent per an
mum. If more income is needed for
the support OF the government that
is not their affair. Other forms Of
wealth are available for taxation
in Greater New York. They are prac-
tically unit in their demand for a
fixed tax rate, and that other forms
of wealth should bear fair share OF
the burden of government. The arGu-
ments of paid experts and of organ'za,,
tions interested in protecting personal
property does not interest them.
"The failure of fixed tax rate IN
one state does not prove anything so
far as New York is concerned. me
bald statement that there cannot pe q
general property tax because such q
tax has not worked we'll under entirely
different conditions than those that
prevail here does not prove anythlng.
One of the chief difficulties in any
plan to collect,any considerable amount
of money through general property
tax Ga tax on personal property lies
in the fact that taxation of personal
property is not on g uniform basis
among the states
Could Dodge Payments
If New York State, and particularly
New York City, begins the taxation Of
shares of corporations at one-quarter
of per cent, for instance, all of the
great financial institutions will be sub
jected to the temptation of organizing
a holding company either in New
Jersey or Connecticut, so that when tax
day comes around they might transfer
the bulk of their shares to out-of-town
Offices. New Jersey is the so-called
"home of corporations" because the
tax laws of that state bear less heav-
lily on corpoVtions than the laws OF
some other states. The same is true
Of West Virginia.

fred the United States had 74O ma
chimes at the front. As no compare
tive figures we're given, this meant lit
tie to the public, and alongside the co.
900 machines that superheated public
ity talked about year ago it seemed
small.
Good Showing Made
The significance of TAO American ma
chimes at the front is that the total
number of French, British and Italian
machines in service when hostilities
ceased was $500. After four years the
combined efforts of tho three Allies
had not been able to keep in action
more than $500 machines. Despite all
Of it's troubles, failures, investigations,
reorganizations and criticism the
American aircraft effort had succeeded
in little more than a year in getting to
the front about one-third as many ma
chimes as the rest of the Allies had in
tour years.
Behind these 74O machines was a
stream of fighting aircraft Of the sec
ond and third lines and the bases in
America totalling about 5000 machines.
And both the numbers at the front and
the feeding stream were rapidly grow
ing.
In October American factories turned
out 5,603 aircraft motors, of which 1870
were of the Liberty type. The schedule
for January was for 5000. The planes
we're coming on rapidly, too. The pro-
duction OF fighting planes Vas about
800 week when the er :, came, and was
aimed at 1000 woek by next April.
Had the war lasted another year
authorities say that in military aero
nautics America would have been doing
something at the front which would
have surpassed by far all that the rest
Of the Allies were doing, even if the
dream of $4,000 planes in the air at
once was never approximated.

RAT is FRIEND OF MINERS
Workers Warned Of Coming catas-
trophe When the Rodents Leave
Tunnei-Are Fed by Men.

Investigators of mining conditions
and the peculiar dangers to which
miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest in the practice
Of Western gold miners to make pets
Of the rats which commonly infest
mines. On the mother lode Of Cali
fornia 1t has been found that the
miners invariably feed the rats and
take care Of them. believing that the
rodents are a source Of protection
against accident, says Our Dumb AMI
mails. This is due, the men say, to the
instinct Of the rats, which warns them
when a tunnel Is unsafe. And when
the rats leave tunnel It Ii almost i'm
possible to get the miners to work
there. This recalls the belief among
sailors that rats will leave a doomed
ship. The miners also have found that
rats are much more susceptible than
humans to the dangerous gases that
20 often cause loss Of life in the mines.
Long before the miners themselves are
affected by these gases the rats be-
come sick and show symptoms Of dis
tress. So the men keep close watch
Of the rats good health.
