Emil Zimmerman, of 541 West Hath
Street, a reporter on 1.-THE Wall Street
Journal" was taken in custody by op-
eratives Of the Customs Intelligence
Service and ordered detained in the
Raymond Street Jail by Perry M. Arm
strong, chief examiner of the Enemy
Alien Bureau, as dangerous enemy

While it is probable that thinner

thorities have not Abandoned their in

to the United States first in 1907, and
was engaged in the cotton business ir
Texas. He made frequent trips to Ger.

nothing sacred about any form of

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,,
tons interested in protecting personal
property does not interest them.

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 competitions 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,
congratulations 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 TAO 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 $500 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 week 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.
