REDUCTION OF TO POINTS
Seen FOR COUNTY TAX RATE
(Continued from cage II

CONTINUED from, cage ID
supreme court that the law exempt
ing for f<e years taxes on new
dwellings is unconstitutional.
Leaders assert that assessing OF
taxes on dwellings constructed since
Oct. /, 1920. will mean financial
ruin for thousands of new owners.
The law was passed in 1920 to slim,
ulate the building of homes. Many
homes have been built as a result
and legislative leaders are trying to
figure out a way to stand by the
promises made to those who erected
homes.
No definite policy has been agreed
upon. but many agree that an act
which would permit municipalities or
county tax boards to remit taxes
on property which ONE within the
scope of the taX exemption law
would take care of the situation.
The supreme court decision proD-
ably will be appealed to the court
of errors and appeals, but a ruling
hy that court would come too late
for legislative action this year.
Most Of the senate leaders left for
their homes last night but the House
is in session today.
No estimate of the amount of
property affected by the decision
could be obtained at TIL state house
today. that it will run into millions
of dollars. however, is admitted by
state officials. In Mercer county
alone the decision would add prop
erty valued at more than $1.000,00o.
There is some question in the
minds C tax boards also whether or
not the supreme court decision
means that each county tax board
must arbitrarily add the property
to the ratables or whether
each county will have 10 await a
specific decision. The courts deci-
sion was made on a petition o.
mandamus by an Essex county tax
and directs the Essex tax
board TO add the property TO rata
bles in that county only. There Is
no question but that the courts
would be the same in all
counties.

the vagrant, not of the open road
but of Paris streets. There are
portraits of him sitting at cafe
tables. The eyes are sodden; the
frame wasted by hunger. misery

foul, suggesting the SCARED body
beneath; the hands, lean and filthy,
shake with absinthe ague. He has
just emerged from the hospital, and
within a week will probably be in
the hospital again. Yet. wallowing
in the muck, he is composing inn

lawsuits. An inexperienced writer

Schnitzler's Types.

CCHNITZLER'S drama is not for
~ those who demand the en-
phatic gesture or the violence and
melodrama of elemental emotion.
His types are almost without ex-
ception of the world of the well-to-
do, of the complex, of the intelli-
gent, the people who are self aware,
but not self conscious. They are
too wise to be dogmatic, not naive
enough to become heroic in any
conventional sense His world is
by prediction that OF atmosphere
and mood. 1t has affiliations with
that of Turgenief and Jens Peter
Jacobsen. His characters are rare
ly men of action: oftener they are
ironists and dreamers. like Anatol
to whom atmosphere" is the elixir
of life; who feels that it would be
a great personal loss were he sud-
denly to become strong: There
are so many diseases. and there is
only one health" Schnitzler knows
the vague, highly differentiated
emotions of the over-civilized mod
ern European-as scarcely any other
writer of the present day; he
knows how to smile al the immense
human capacity for self deception
and how to do il without bitter
ness, though often with something
like a tear glistening in the corner
of his eye.-Froni '.SfihWr SchRitz-
