countries as an ardent Socialist, and
as radical Comrade Fieldman has
studied the United States with criti-
cal, unbiased eyes. His verdict is that
this is a country worthy of devoted
love and that here destructive agita-
ton is not in place, that only con-
structive thought and labor can be
tolerated.
At time when many native and
foreign-born citizens have caught
some of the contagious old world dis
tempers and in true old world fashion
would tear down and burn and over
turn, Mr.. Fieldman, student of the old
world and the new, will tell the people
that the rioter and the agitator for
violence and obstruction in this coun-
try is working against labor, against
the poor, working for the destruction
of those very advantages that make
America the most favored among the
lands of the world, that such agitators
here are working to undo the freedom
the opportunity and the comfort that
at present are guaranteed to all par
takers in this great commonwea lth.
Mr.. Fieldman has been talking polit
ical idealism for the last twenty-five
years. He has spoken for good gov
eminent and honest legislation from
coast to coast He has won from Will
liam Howard Taft the approving de-
scription of two dynamos in one;
and Jerome Myers, who was chief OF
the Liberty Loan committee bureau
here on outdoor activities. said OF
him: HE is the most eloquent orator
in connection with the Liberty Loan
drives under my supervision"
Mr.. Fieldman has sampled life in
Russia, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Au
|stralia, New Zealand, Egypt, Germany
Sweden, France, Austria, Hungary.

Be. RE-ASSESSED, IS
TAX BOARD RULING

A ruling, providing for the re-assess-
ment of real estate property not prop
erly assessed last year, was adopted
by the state tax commission in Ind
annapolis Friday.
The ruling was made primarily to
correct real estate assessments be

Taxpayers can appeal to the board
for re-assessment of their property
any time before May 1 and any tax
payer can seek re-assessment of any
real estate prior to April 20.
A county assessor. treasurer or
auditor. or any two Of these county
officials, can recommend to the state
board the re-aSsessment of any prop

| to maintain an equitable and just val
uation".

board Friday includes temporary and

MANY WOMEN WILL
NOT take OFF RING

Many women are SO rigid, not to
say superstitious, in their notions con-
corning their wedding rings, that
neither when they wash their hands,
nor at any other time will they take
the ring off their finger, extending, it
would seem, the expression of "tll
death do part even 10 that circlet
which has been the pledge of matri'
mony.
Herrick, the Cavalier poet, has writ
ten of the wedding ring:
And as this round
Is nowhere found
To flow, or else to sever,
So let our love,
AS endless prove,
And pure as gold forever.
And there is likewise famous old
proverb which is often quoted which
says:
AS your wedding ring wears
Your cares will wear away.
The loss of a wedding ring was in
former times, and is not unfrequently
now, looked upon as an omen OF mis-
hap. The widow Of Viscount Dunlee
was met and wooed by William I.iv-
ingstone. AS pledge of his betrothal
N1AAS
lost it one day in the garden, and
as it gave rise to sad presentiments,
a large reward was offered for its
finding and restoration. Strange as
it may seem, several years after the
lady had married she was killed in
Holland as the result of fall from
her horse. And it was not until some
time later that tenant in the garden
in which the ring was lost discovered
it one day while he was digging
potatoes.
According to an Arabian legend
King Solomon, on going to the bath
left his ring behind him-a ring which
he intended giving to his fayorite wife
A jealous Jewess on seeing it stole it
and threw it into the sea. Deprived
of his miraculous amulet which pre-.
vented him from exercising the Judi
cial wisdom for which he was celebrat
ed, Solomon abstained forty days from
administering justice, when at length
the ring was found in the stomach OF
a fish that was served at his table
The legend does not say whether o.
not he gave it to his favorite wife.

three large etchings in the exhibit,

Experiment to Encourage CON.
sfruction to- Be Tried as
BROOKLYN Tract

In solving the almost unsolvable
problem Of housing many suggestions
have been offered, but little progress
made. William E. Harmon & Co., Inc,
are to try some novel ideas, with
the expectation that II successful they
will be adopted by others.
At East Flatbush in Brooklyn 400
25-foot lots have been laid out. The
improvements range from central park
ings, bituminous macadam roadways
and floral embellishments on the main
avenues-Avenues J and z, where lots
will bring the maximum prices-to no
improvements except rough graded
roads, with acreage, prices, on lots in
other parts Of the 150-acre tract. The
restrictions will be accordingly ar
ranged-from $4,000 to $4,000 on the
best property to $500 bungalow ON
the cheaper lots.
The prospective builder will have the
right to negotiate a first mortgage or
building loan, and the company will
subordinate the entire value Of the
land, so that the purchaser has avail
able a credit in land as high as $4,000,
should he purchase that much prop
erty, as soon as he makes his first pay
ment.
Cash bonuses, to offset the present
high building costs, are offered to all
who complete houses before July /,

Wall Street Firms
To Prevent Thefts
With Card Index
Rigid Personal Inquiry of
$4,000 Employees To BE
Made; Guards to Accom-.
pany All Messenger Boys

A rigid personal investigation and
card index system for approximately
$4,000 employees Of 400 Stock Ex-
change and bond brokerage firms in
the financial district to wipe out con=
ditions which have encouraged. an
epidemic of abscondings and en-
bezzelments was announced yester-
day by the National Surety Company.
The Surety Company, through
Ranulph Kingsley, representative,
disclosed that. Central Investigation
Bureau has been established at 2
Albany Street, following conference
with officials of the association Of
Stock Exchange firms. Through this
bureau the company'a secret service
men already are looking over the
character, record and habits Of per-
sons who enjoy positions Of trust
with firms handling large sums Of
negotiable securities,
"The loose system whereby messen-
ger boys have been able to obtain em-
ployment one day and the day follow
ing be trusted with canvas satchels
containing tens of thousands of dol
lars in valuable papers to carry un-
guarded from one firm to another is
entirely eliminated" said the Surety
Company's represe ntative. "The loss
of about $3,000.000 in bonds during
recent months has been lesson to
Stock Exchange firms. Henceforth,
when a 'Wall Street youth threads
his way through crowds with his
satchel he will be trusted with the
burden because he has been investi-
gated previously, card indexed and
placed in position where he can be
checked up. He also will find him
self accompanied, henceforth, by an
adult. guard whose duty it is to pro-
tect him against himself as we'll as
Others"
Not only messenger boys, but al
most every employee Of the firms con-
cerned will come under scrutiny, it
was said. There are between Is and
so in each of the 400 brokerage houses
which come under the Surety Com
pany's protection. Stock Exchange
firm employees are said to welcome
the move since it will result in a
general cleanup and end suspicion and
embarrassment to trustworthy ones
caused by the recent reign Of theft.
The company announces that it is
ready to spend $1,OO0,O0o, if neces-
sary, on its investigation which in
cludes the running down and convic-
ton Of those concerned in Wall Street
thefts.

the stability, equipment and appear
ance Of its architectural forms, it Is
only necessary to restore as far as is
possible the conditions governing the
great building industry of those times.
They cannot be entirely restored. The
great war has imposed set of new
conditions whicn nave to be <reckoned
with.
Income Tax Destructive
But there were errors Of Wartime
legislation that can be corrected and
which, If and when corrected, will start
the building industry into old-time ac-
tivity. First and most destructive Of
these laws was the imposition Of the
income tax and surtax by the Federal
government upon the income from
mortgages. Next was ehe imposition
OF the graded income tax by the state
government These have not only
stopped the supply Of basic capital
(mortgage money! for all forms of real
estate and building operations, but are
forcing the withdrawal Of money from
mortgage investments formerly made,
in this city alone, at the rate Of over
$200,000,000 year.
At crisis in the building develop
ment of the city, when S5o0,oO0,o 900 q
year, for ten years, of fresh capital
would scantily meet the requirements
of the situation, not only is no appre-
ciable part of this sum obtainable, but
over 100000 year is being with
drawn from the fund invested under
former conditions. In the borough Of
Manhattan along in the first = six
months Of this year 1912 mortgages,
for total of $68,845, 14O, were paid off
of real property here can stand that
strain can only be imagined. While
that condition of things continues
there can be no resumption of regular
building business.
Those most experienced in the financ-
ing of real estate and building opera
~tlons are Of the opinion that modifi-
cation CT these income tax laws, by
which fhe income from $4,000 or
$4,000 OF mortgages. or mortgage GER
tificates in any individual ownership
will be exempted from income taxation
will not only stop the outflow from the
mortgage market, but will cause a re-
turn flow of investment sufficient in
volume to meet all the legitimate de-
.nands Of the building industry.
There is another obstacle, in the rent
laws of this state enacted by the last
Legislature. Most authorities agree
that they do not apply to new con-
struction, but there are some who hold
to the contrary. If it was not the in
tention of the Legislature that they
should apply they (the lawmakers) will
hardly object to removing the am
biguity. 1t is repugnant to every
right-minded builder to feel that any
outsider. even a judge of municipal
court, should have any power of inter
ference with him in fixing the rental
schedule of his new building That
must be left to settlement between the
builder and his prospective tenant, as
It always used to be. If the builder
cannot rely upon free market for
the rental or sale of his product he
will not build.
