that his taxes will not be Immediately
and directly increased, The, farmer
does not now pay anything in Federal
taxes either. on his land or buildings.
But if we farmers approve of the Kel-
Ter: bill, We admit the idea of the "un.
earned Increment" applied to- land
only as a principle of taxation. We.
admit that we ourselves have done
practically nothing to bring values
into our farm and that its value
doesn really belong to u.s.. We. adj
that Congress will take advantage of
the full rental value, OF our farms.
And. you can bet. your bottom cent

believe in public ownership of public
utilities and natural monopolies. The
only way to preserve private wealth
and private ownership Of land and yet
keep it within safe limits is gradu-
ated Land and income tax. This will
fal! lightly on the small landowner
and the man OF SINAI! wealth and will
grow heavier and heavier as an in
dividuaIs income. and ownership OF
land increases, thus putting certain
stipulated limit. to private wealth and
the holding of land. Under the full
operation of the single tax, titles to
land would not be changed but the
rea! ownership would. The title
holders would pay in taxes the rental
value of the land. They would then
all be renters, and the owners of the
industries who would, in the form Of
tax exemption, get the benefits of the
rents, would be the rea! owners.
The Single Tax Utopia
Suppose our government and indus
tries We're managed as the single tax
ers want them to be. More and more
people would flock to the cities where
the tax free Industries would at first
be stimulated. And additional burden
would be placed on the already over
burdened farmers. And then in the
cities there would be over-production
and unemployment There would be
2 greater exportablc surplus, keener
competition for world trade, larger
and still larger navy and army to pro-
tect the markets and -investm ents, a
consequent increasing of taxation to
be loaded on the land If the heavy
taxation would force a mere rapid de-
velopment-thati is, destruction Of our
natural resources, as the single tax
ers gay it would, our forests which
are now being destroyed at an alarm
ing rate, would soon be fields of
stumps. This would solve the housing
problem. Coal mines and oil wells
would be developed in the same way
But as Mr.. Lord writes, there would
be one hopeful sign: capitalists, la
bCrers, farmers and business men, re-
publicans, democrats and non-parti
cans, all working in sweet harmony
for the same t!1ing-all pulling 70:

There must be cooperation be-
tween every branch of the police de-
partment. This is the edict said to
have been served on Major Harry
Gessford, Superintendent of Police,
when he talked with Commissioner
James F. Oyster about police mat
ters yesterday afternoon.
INSISTS ON UNITY.
Although neither will tell exactly
what took place at the conference,
it is understood that Commi ssion Ter

that he would see that there was
unity in the police department. at

week. in which Major Gessford is
said to have branded the detective
force as 'disloyal" and also is re-
ported to have called down" In
spector Clifford l.. Grant, is now
said to be officially before the Dis
trict Commissioners.
That some action will be taken in
regard to this tilt" is certain.
Rumors of 4 shakeup in the depart
mant were current today.
GRANT ON GRILL TODAY.
Only one side Of the controversy
Major Gessford's side-is before the
district Commissioners. Inspector
Grant is expected TO be summoned to
Commissioner Oysters office some time
today.
Commissioner Oyster, it was
learned. is more interested in the al
legged failure of cooperation between
the detective bureau and the police
sonal row between Grant and Cess
ford.
Harmony must exist in the police
department" Commissioner oyster
said. Every policeman and every de-
tective should be working together.
Only such cooperation will make our
police department an efficient one"
1t is understood Commissioner Oyster
informally discussed the police situa-
tion with Commissioners Kutz and
Rudolph at the board meeting yester-
day. That no definite action was de-
cided upon is certain.
SEEK ALL THE FACTS.
1t appears that the Commissioners
are waiting to gather all of the facts
in the alleged controversy. and also
the several reasons which prompted
Major Gessford to critic1se the detec-
tives. before making any move that
will necessarily come before the pub
lie eye.
Rumors also were current today
that a shake-up within the Detective
Bureau" was contemplated by "those
higher up in the department" Sew

/ T!0SNLLMAN'SLIST
Trio Of Charmers Formed Web
Around Banker, ''Fifi" Wilt
Charge in Court.

NEW YORK. April 5-Into the
variegated cast of counter CORE
spondents to be named by Mrs. Fin"
Potter stillman. who is being sued
for divorce by her husband. head of
the National City Bank. appeared to-
day, a Woman of Society to take
her place with Mrs Florence II. Leeds
and the woman of Mystery"
The trio of charmers, Mrs. Stillman
will allege, formed a veritable "web
of women" that has enmeshed the
bankers wandering fancy for years.
Served late yesterday with Supreme
Court Justice Morschauser's alimony
and counsel fees order, attorneys for
Mr.. Stillman prepared to file notice of
appeal with the Appellate Division
In Brooklyn today. The appeal can
be placed on the calendar in three
days notice. Thus the famous con
fession" and "Beauvais" letters may
become public by the end of the
week.
Disposing OF twenty-four-hour
mystery as to her whereabouts, Mrs
Stillman. fresh Of complexion and as
vivacious as ever, made an unex-
pected appearance In a Fifth avenue
modiste's shop. Frankly amused at
the curiosity Of those in the shop,
she said:
II have come to spend part of the
alimony. No, I don't want a private
room for my fittings. / am not in
hiding. There is no mystery about
me. don't like mystery!"
Ordering an expensive outft of
sport costumes and several ex-
quisite evening gowns, Mrs. Stiliman
went to her new apartment at Fifth
avenue and Seventy-second street and
superintended the work Of interior
decorators. She expects to move into
her new home within q fortnight. she
told friends.
Mrs. Leeds. the only unmask ed
woman of mystery" that appears in
timately in the case, was reported in
conference in her Connecticut retreat
with an attorney. an intimate friend.
and members of her family.
The probable naming Of q third
woman-the woman of Society" was
discovered when IL was learned that
Mrs. Stillman's lawyers are gathering
evidence against this woman, who fig
ured largely In the leisure hours Of
the bankers life.
