TIKI SULLIVANS LAND TAX
Big Politician Has Scheme to Reduce
Congestion In Now York Tene
ment Districts
Big Tim Sullivan has been looking
about a bit in his Bowery kingdom
and as a consequence the brainiest
man in Tammany has hammered out
a land tax system which he be
lieves will reduce the congestion in
the tenement districts a New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times Star writes Poople in my
district sleep three and four to the
room said he and many of the
rooms have never had a ray of sun
light in them They have to live
that way because the rent is so high
The tenement owner who is willing to
tear down his old building and put
up a new one with sunlight in every
window and a bath in every flat is
afraid to do so because he knows
that his taxes would go skallyhooting
up The poor devils who rent his
flats would in the end pay for that
higher rate of taxation Every eighth
child born in New York cfty dies be
cause its mother has to go to work
or starve At the same time there
are 40000 acres of good land lying
idle within the city limits
Therefore Sullivan has a plan to cut
the taxes on improved real estate and
increase the taxes on vacant prop
erty He figures that owners would
have either to build on their land
which would relieve the downtown
congestion or go to farming it
which would indirectly have the same
effect A watch dog on a farm lives
better than many of my constitu
ents he declares and yet after
an experience of a lifetime downf
there I have yet to find the equal
of the families on the streets near
the Bowery for industry and economy
and courage Maybe my land tax plan
is Bowery political economy as has
been charged I like it all the better
for that fact The Bowery has had to
put up with Fifth avenue political
economy for a good while

FEST OF THE SOUTH PACiFiC
Jack LonoonV Description of the Now-
New Which Pvcs the New
er j ffo
The following story from Jack Lon
dons recently published The Cruise
of the Snark indicates that the Jer
sey mosquito has a rival in the now
now
I made the strategic mistake of
undressing on the edge or a steep 2
bank where I couM dive in but could la
not climb out When I was ready to
dress I had a hundred yards walk on
the bank before I could reach my
clothes At the first step fully 10000
now nows landed upon me At the
second step I was walking in a cloud
By the third step the sun was dimmed
in the sky After that I dont know
what happened
When I arrived at my clothes I
was a maniac And here enters my
grand tactical error There is only
one rule of conduct in dealing with
now nows Never swat them What
ever you do dont swat them
They are so vicious that in the in
stant of annihilation they eject their
last atom of poison into your carcass
You must pluck them delicately be
tween thumb and forefinger and per
suade them gently to remove their
proboscises from your quivering flesh
It is like pulling teeth But the diffi
culty was that the teeth sprouted
faster than I could pull them so I
swatted and so doing filled myself
full of their poison
This was a week ago At the pres
ent moment I resemble a sadly neg
lected smallpox convalescent
HISTORIC IV10UND AT MEMPHIS
On Its Summit De Soto Was Received
by the Chickasaw Chief
in 1541
Under the lead ot the residents of
the southwest portion of the city
there is a renewal of activity for the
purchase of Jackson Mound Park and
a email amount of adjacent property
as an addition to the public park sys
tem People favoring the purchase
have drawn up a petition which sets
out why they think that the property
tdiould be purchased by the city
These mounds have a historical
valuo that is beyond calculation Upon
the summit of one of them in May
1541 De Soto was received by the
Chickasaw chief This was twenty
three years before the birth of Shake
speare it was sixty six years before
Jamestown was settled it was seventy-nine
years before the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth Rock It is there
fore the oldest landmark in the United
States Beneath the bluff here during
the Civil war the gunboat Arkansas
was built
Being such a historical landmark
it is highly important that the city
should own and keep sacred forever

Wanted Dog Massage
Because Alexandria hotel Los An
geles refused to massage her bulldog
with electric appliances Mrs Henry T
Phillips and maid of New York re
fused to register Mrs Phillips had
three maids a man servant and a
brindle bulldog
Before I register said Mrs Phil
lips to the chief clerk Mr Sibbald
I must be assured that my dog will
have sanitary quarters with plenty of
light and sunshine I do not expect to
tabe him to my rooms but he must
be massaged by the barber with elec

Exchange
Smokers Faces Tell It
A cigar dealer in one of the stands
at the Union depot in Kansas City can
tell what kind of a cigar a man smokes
just by looking at him He becomes
quite proficient in reading mens faces
so far as their purchases of tobacco
wares is concerned
I have been in the cigar business 26
years he said It has been my ex
perience that a dark haired man with
a dark complexion wants a heavy
smoke a Havana cigar A light hair
ed man with a fair skin prefers a
light smoke The dark man enjoys a
pipe while the blonde likes the cigar
ette The most trying demand the
cigar man has to hazard is Give me a
good cigar There are some excep
tions of course but if a dealer fol
lowed my rule of light and dark he
will generally please the customer
