Proposed Tax Bill
Aid to Spectators,
Says Investigator
No Relief for Improved
Real Estate in Davenport
Measure, Asserts Asso.
citation After Review

The New York Tax Reform Associa-
ton, after review of the proposed
income tax measure at Albany, hear
ings on which will be held to-day and
tomorrow in Albany, declares that the
benefits Of any "relief" to real estate
through such taxes will 60 chiefly to
spectators and the holders of unde-
veloped properties.
The report sent to the members of
the association, as we'll as to members
of the Legislature, is signed by A. C.
Pleydell, secretary, Of 20 Broadway.
THE outstanding feature of the bills
proposed by the Davenport committee
IS that the anticipated needs for rev.
enue are to be met by increasing taxes
on industry" says Secretary Pleydell.
Business corporations, business part
nershlps and individuals in business--
manufacturers, merchants, farmers
are to pay more taxes.
SHOULD tho individual income tax
and the new rate for business cor
poratons both be enacted, the effect
will be that resident Of the state
whose capital is invested in q buBl-
ness corporation with all Of its prop
erty here will be paying tax Of
~ per cent on the corporation in
come and per cent additional on the
dividend he receives, in addition to
tho Federal income and profits on
the corporation, taxes on any real
estate it may own, and his Federal
income tax. For all taxes on cor
porations operate to reduce dividends,
and thus fall ultimately, though in
directly, on the ehnrchodcrs.
"And the optional business tax may
mean another tax Of s per cent Of
gross receipts.
"Fhe business enterprise which owns
the premises occupied viii not be re-
lieved by slight reduction in the
real estate rate gained only by much
heavier taxes on the business
"The business occupying rented
premises will not gain anything by
the heavier business tax, which will
not reduce rents.
"The salaried home owner will prob
ably find his real estate tax remain
the same, while he has to pay an
income tax in addition.
1T must be remembered that in the
last thirty years q number of special
taxes have been enacted that fall
mostly on industry and capital, and
yield S75,O00,000 annually. The per
centage of total taxes (state and To-
CALI paid by real estate declined from
81 IN 1890 to less than rs in 1918
Any large reduction in real estate
taxation will operate only to raise cap
ital values. To the extent that taxes
on land are reduced, the price will go
up. And after a boom due to low
taxes, every effort will be made to keep
up real estate prices and rents on the
plea that interest should be allowed to
be earned on that increased capitaliza-
ton.
ut is true that some classes of i'm
proved real estate are overburdened
but the remedy for this is to reform
the system of taxing real estate, not
to put burdens on enterprise and in
dustry. The benefits Of any relief to
real estate through such taxes will 90
chiefly to spectators and the holders
OF undeveloped properties"

School Board
Opens War ON
Teachers Union
Continued from page l

one Of the members Of the union stated
that he had attacked the Constitution.
"a resolution by Abraham Lefkowitz
protesting against the action of the
Board of Education In refusing to al
low Mr.. Schmallhausen to speak at this
was accompanied by bitter invectives
against the Board OF Education. In
view of all these facts I strongly rec
ommend that the Teachers Union be
not allowed to meet in the public
schools for any reason watsoever.'
The organization referred to is the
one which rallied 80 ardently to the
defence Of the three ousted teachers
whose war attitude was called into
question in 1917.
More recently it has championed the
cause Of Mr.. Glassperg. whose pupils
declared that he told them the United
states government was suppressing the
truth about Russia and that the Sovicts

Concurrently with its stand against

Mrs. Mott Admits
Writing ing to Negro
''My Dearest Boy
Was s'Baby Doll" to All Her
Servants, Says Counsel;
Asks Dismissal of Suit
for Alienated Affection

Mrs. Augusta L. Mott, of Far Rock
away, through her counsel, acknowl-
edged yesterday in the Supreme Cour,
the authorship of q letter written to
Albert King, her negro chauffeur, in
which she addressed him as "My Dear
est Good Boy" and subscribed herself
"B. d. said to be the initials for
Baby DOLL" But, it was contended
the note was nothing more than the
foolish writing of Mrs. Mott, who is
sixty-four years old, to servant who
had been loyal to the family.
Her counsel argued that it could not
possibly form basis for the allega-
tion of Mrs. Julia King, the chauf-
feur's negro wife, that Mrs. Mott alien
ated Kings affections. for which she
is suing for $4,000 damages. Mrs
Mott is the wife Of George r. Mott, &
lawyer, who appeared yesterday before
Justice Wagner and a jury as one OF
his wife's counsel. King is twenty
nine years old, native of South Caro-
lima and black. He was witness foi

Mott, first introduced the subject O.

Mrs. King bases her charges. The not,

Gated that she and her usband did no

After the plaintiffs case had bee,

Wagner for dismissal of the com

With Townley, but
Won't Air Trouble
One of Most Important Men
in Nonpartisan League
Will Be Back in New York
May L, He Tells Friends
Ne1c York Tribune
Washing Bureau

NtW OfE lFtOuNe
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Another i'm
portant wheel will drop out of the A.
c. Townley Non-Partisan League ma
chine in the near future, according to
information received here to-day The
wheel in question is John Thompson,
who has served as Townley's right
hand man for about two years. Before
entering the service of the league,
Thompson was connected with Pear
sons Magazine"
There are two theories as to the
cause of Thompson breaking away
from Townley. One is that Thomp-
son, who is regarded here as probably
the shrcwdest man in the league or
ganization, sees an end to the league
as a result of the quarrel in North
Dakota and desires to quit before the
grand smash comes.
The other theory which seems to
carry more weight, is that Townley
is sidetracking him, and that the lat
ter is leaving the organization because
he feels he is not being given a square
deal.
Thompson made a mysterious trip
East short time ago. He spent con
siderable time here and in New York
1t is said that he was in conference
with Department of Justice officials
The nature of the subject discussed is
being kept secret.
In New York friends of Thompson
said he seemed out of humor with the
Northwest He is declared to have
told one man that he will move back
to New York May l. This man in
ferred from Thompson's conversation
that he had fallen out with Townley,
but IS the subject seemed delicate
one with Thompson he did not press it.
Numerous trips have been made to
Washington by Thompson in behalf of
the league. The first one to attract at
tention was a year ago last fall when
he came here with Townley. George
Creel, then chairman of the Committee
on Public Information. took Townley
and Thompson to the White House to
see the President, thus giving them
an opportunity to pledge the leagues
support to Mr.. Wilson's course in the
war. This interview was used later
by the league officials to ward off at
tacks charging disloyalty.
Thompson also was here with Town
ley when the latter appeared before
the Senate Committee on Military Al
fairs, following charges of disloyalty.
On neither Of these occasions did
Thompson have anything to say pub
licly. r'N
