RETURNING TROOPS ON
 BOARD OF STEAMER
 THREATEN TO MUTINY

HALIFAX, March 12.-Threats of 800 troops of the British army, who enlisted in the United States, S1 of them American citizens, to sink the transport Toloa unless immediately allowed to land and proceed to des- tinations in the United States by rail, were reported to the Canadian authorities today by Captain Jack son, commander of the transport.
 The Toloa, after debarking Canad- ian troops here, sailed for New York with the American-bound contingent on March 10, but was ordered back to this port to coal for the return trip to England because of the har- bor strike in New York
 Captain Jackson told the authori- ties that he had no guns on board and that his ship was at the mercy of the soldiers
 The Captain said that his orders from the British Admiralty were to take the men to Halifax and disem bark them there, but the military
 
 stated, to furnish transportation of the men to their homes in the Unit ed States After having started for New York and being forced to re- turn, the men complained bitterly, Of being held up in their journey, and their threats sFesulted.
 They say that after serving in the British army for various terms of from two to four years it almost would seem that they are citizens of no country Most of them came to Canada during the early months of the war and enlisted in the Brit ish expeditionary Forces.
 After consultation with the authori ties the only answer that Captain Jackson could take back to the ship today was that those who had enough money to pay their transportation and sufficient additional money to meet the United States immigration law would be allowed to land But only small number, it is understood possessed the necessary funds.

OF New York alone between $4,000, 900
and $2s,000,000. If we add State busi-
ness tax extended to firms and partner
ships as well as to corporations, and
N 1t be desired TO levy, in addition In
the city of New York, a slight business
tax 1t will he realized that we have in
this combination OF business and per-
sonal income tax an engine of prodigious
momentum. In fact the problem OF
fiscal reform in New York city and New
York State is a far simpler one than in
any other State or city In the Union for
the obvious reason that the great mass
of the nations wealth is found here"
Prof Seligman presented figures from
the Internal Revenue Department to
show that in 1918 81 per cent of the
entire Federal income tax was contrib
uted by New York State and 81 per cent
OF this amount came from New York
city.
ut is more than probable" he de-
clared, that with the contemplated
change in the business tax an income
tax rate varying from | to per cent
and denoting a revenue OF from S25, 00O,-
600 to S60,000,000 will be entirely ade-
ouate for a long time to come. There IL
clearly no reason why in the case OF per
sonal incomes the rate should not vary
from year to year. just as It varies to-
day with personal property or other
property"

Senator Jones indicated, which they have
hitherto been unable TO accept by reason
OF the restrictions placed by the Ship

To prove that the President Is re-
sponsible for the present conditions
which are keeping thousands OF ship

opinion OF the board was favorable to

Jones said:
In a letter to the Commerce Com

as follows: y may say that ever since
has been constantly giving its interested
attention to the subject touched upon by
this bill. Those of us who are here are
quite firmly of the conviction that per-

yards for construction therein of vessels

The letter had been written by Com

since resigned.

Woodrow Wilson will not let it dc

to my resolution, which was adopted by
the Senate. the Shipping Board reports
on the same day war time restrictions
upon the construction of steel vessels In
American yards for domestic account
were removed. but the restrictions upon
such construction for foreign account
have not been removed. This restriction
remains In force temporarily by direc'

ALBANY. Jan. 2a.-Owing to thu re-
sible for Gov. Smith to appoint the
members OF new Public Service Com
mission to>supplant the two bodies now
in existence it is likely that the less
sweeping measure introduced by James
A. Foley, Democratic leader. creating
a single rapid transit commissioner to
take charge OF completing the New York
city subway system will be favored
The attitude OF Republicans who at
tended hearings on the proposed legis-
lation before tho Senate Public Service
Commission to-day leaned strongly in
this direction.
Alternating bills now pending are for
the appointment OF combined State
members, and a measure for the sub
stitution OF a single commissioner with
four deputies for the present New York
city commission of five men, on which
there are two vacancies.
Senator George F. Thompson suC-
gested to Senator Foley that it would be
advisable to push the passage of the
bill for a rapid transit commissioner.

Of this measure.

message which the simplest mind can
comprehend at a glance.
So when the line why Gamble With
Human Lives?" appeared at the top of
one of his screaming editorials in the
subway yesterday every one at once
recognized it as a product of Col Woofs
genius and read on expectantly.
