May6r?Edwara F. bunnawa accorded an
ovation In welcoming th vleitor. Presi
dent. Rhett iVepondfal. ;
Mr. Lawaoir Purdy of New Tork deliv
ered an add.reaa on '"h Influence or Tax
ation on the Proaperlty of -Cltle." II said
in part:
In 171 Ernest Bnsley, a wealthy planter
of Tennessee, urged an amendment to the
constitution so thst nothing should be
tsxed which is of value to the state, that
could, and would run tway or that could
and would, come to It. Thl rule ha be
come 'an, axiom, but be f pre It can be ap
plied 4h constitution or about l,lrty-fiv
state must be smnfrl and 1 aiialf dis
cus only what can be accomplished In
most cltl by executive officials under ex
isting law.
The Interests of the city and of Its cltl
cens are Identical. Revenue must be ample
and economically 'administered. Needless
expenditures must be avoided, such as th
unnecessary streets, so common In all our
cities, which must be sewered, paved,
lighted, cleaned - and '- policed. To erotd"
opening unnecessary streets the develop
ment of, the city must be uniform -and
compact, yet without overcrowding. Every
lot must be put to Its best use. In our
cities not half the lots are put to th best
use. We see wornout wooden buildings on
lots which ought to ba Improved with
modern offices or loft tumble-down tene
ments on sites needed for factories; lots
entirely vacant and unused needed for
stores,-, -factories .or 'dwellings. In the
suburbs are hundreds of acres of unused
land. Intersected by streets, which ought
to-be peed for gardens. , ",
Wk Pay Tast
The principal source of revenue in alt
American cities I the tsx on real estate,
yet few men tske the trouble to find out
who pays the real,tate tax. Th only dif.
Acuity In answering this question arises
because real estate Is 'two things of differ
ent nature Joined under one name, and it
Is necessary to distinguish the effect of th
tax Insofar ss it falls on the value of land
from It effect so far ss It falls on im
provements. The effect of the tsx on
buildings is t)e same as th effect of the
tax on any other labor product. Th tax
tends to check the . erection of buildings
and when th supply Is decreased the rent
rise bv the amount of the tax. Th tax
on. land not only cannot decrease the sup
ply of land, as does the tax on buildings,
but really. Increases the supply, becsuse It
induce some owners to sell or Improve
sooner than It there wer no tax.'vTh
real estate tax. so far a it falls on th
value of land,- exclusive" of improvements,
makes land cheaper- and easier to get, re
duces rentals and tends to force land to be
put to the beaf use. The tax Is no burden
on owners so long as the rate Is uniform,
because, the purchase price paid was re
duced by the amount of the tax capitalised
at the current rate of Interest.
Assessments are generally imperfectly
made with disregard of the law, which
require -an assessment at msrket value.
Moreover, buildings are almost alwavs
overnssessed. ss compared with land.
Buildings csn ' never be wortB more than
the cost of reproduction, and very, soon
after they are erected,., deteriorate from
wear or by comparison . with more modern
buildings. Land, on the other hand, in all
progressive cities; Is worth on the average
more esch year than, the year before. In
order, to secure an equitable 'assessment it
Is essential that th value of land should
be separately etatfej.'-as It Is In the city
of New York and lii Massachusetts snd
Maryland, and It Is desirable that, either
by publication pf tha sssessment roll, or
in other ways, the greatest publicity should
be given to the work of assessors.
flqoltabie'Fiaii. "
If the real eitMsMux 1s equitably as
sessed, Buildings wllh -b. assessed at .lea
than nown and land much more. The
comparison of bur 'cities with- those -o
Europe prove 'that 'our 'tax on real estate,
imperfect as It (Is in practice, has been of
enormous , valu , in our development and
prosperity.. Kuropeen cities derive very lit
tle revenue front the4'alue of land and ar
waking up t the necessity of following
our example. Paris Jiaa recently adopted
a small land value ' tax tn place of the
"octroi. or duty on" goods brought into
the city, and Oermsn cities, which, for.
tunately, have greater powers of local
self-government than American cities, ar
one after the other adopting small taxes
on land values for economic rather than
revenue reaaona. In England the present
ministry la committed to such a tax aa
a matter of party policy.
If land w're assessed at Its market
valve, ss the law directs, and buildings
were not overassessed. the profit now
gained by retaining worn-out buildings on
lots needed for Improvement, or by put
ting up one-story store as taxpayers, fr-tad-
of bulldlnga Bulled to th site, will
b materially reduced. Taxes on build
ings will be less and homes will be better
and cheaper. . The increased contribution
of th tax on land will relieve the burden
of taxes which check production, Increase
th cost of goods, reduce th opportunities
for employment, and thu tend to lower
wage. We - have pointed out that un
necessary streets should not be opened.
They ar opened because the vacsnt jot In
dustry is profitable. The smaller the profit
In withholding lend from use. the fewer
wtll .be the unnecessary streets. If th
city la. compact. ols not Immediately
needed for 'building will not have a ficti
tious value and will be utilized to advan
tage for market gardens. With these ad
vantages growth will be more rapid, and
with added growrh land value will In
crease, so that ' the mor the source of
revenue Is tapped, the larger will grow th
flow of revenue. .
An honest and Intelligent assessment of
real estate for Ave years would add to the
wealth of th country hundred of million
of dollars and improve th condition of
Ufa for all our rltisens. And to get It is
simple, easy and in obedience to existing
law.

r. ' Senor Montalvo - asserted, ' wer con
ducive not to peace but to war, aa such
solution offered Incentive to further revo
lution aa A result of the victory which tha
revolution lata would obtain through th
action ot Jh commissioner. Senor Mon
talvo concluded with these words:
"Only on a basis of law and Justice can
lh moderate continue treating tor peso."
In th meanwhile Senor Dolt had been
ent for by Secretary Taft. H Appeared
at the American legation and mad th
following proposition, requesting th opin
ion of the commissioner thereupon:
"That both tide appoint committee of
tlx to treat for peace, but with th prior
condition that th rebel lay down their
arm."
'Senator Taft approved of thl with th
exception that It waa unfair to mak tb
rebels lay down their irnu before th
acceptance by both partle of a formal
agreement to tblde by th ultimate de
rision. Benor Dolt returned to th tsaembly
and reported the result of bis effort.
Moderate Back Dowa.
At th resumption of th meeting and
after hearing and hastily discussing .the
view of Secretary Taft, th assembly pre
cipitately receded from Its various conten
tions that th rebels must lay down their
arms befor negotiation could be reopened
and resolved to notify Secretary Taft that
they would appoint a committee of six to
meet a similar committee from the liberals
to negotiate peace terms, leaving all points
upon which no agreement wss reached to
th arbitration of the American commis
sioners. Th assembly directed that Secre
tary Taft be requested to notify the liberals
of this action ot th moderates, to arrange
for th appointment of a similar commit!
by the liberals and to fix a time and place
of meeting.
It waa agreed tht at the extraordinary
session of congress called for next Friday
the resignation of President Palma would
b tabled, pending these negotiations, with
the hope of obviating the necessity of his
leaving office.
A committee, of Spanish merchants visited
the assembly during It session and recom
mended Oenersl Bartolomeo Mssso for the
presidency in the tvent of the acceptance
of Palma' resignation.
It waa tb ultimatum Issued by Messrs.
Taft and Bacon that brought tha moderates
to agree to these conciliatory methods.
-Taft Describes" lltaatloa.
In describing the situation Secretary
Taft said:
Th moderate yesterday determined to
force American Intervention by the resig
nation of government officers, thus leav
ing affairs In our hands. President Palma
chose to regard our suggestions as de
mands, and has rejected them emphat
ically. Today we acquainted Alfredo
Zayas. the liberal leader, with the ltua
tlon. and he undertook to Induce hi a
soclates to consent to th original propo
sition of the moderates, namely, that the
Insurgents lay down their arms and sub
mit the entire controversy to the Ameri
can commission,' but the rebel commander
and men in the field suspected Insincerity
on the part of the government and de
clined. The negro Insurgents especially insisted
on retaining their arms until peace waa
assured. Zayas' report tsy Indicative of
future trouble with the lawless element
and rebels. I feel certain that a settle
ment of the trouble is possible only along
the lines suggested by us.
After an exhaustive investigation we
Informed both the moderates and the lib
erals that unless they were willing to
listen to reason the Vnlted States must
enfoeea a settlement' I told them that a
proclamation would be Issued establishing
a military government In the Island, but
that this would continue only so long as
necessary to restore order and Insure the
holding of new and fair general elections.
Washington Expects Settlement.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. While not
abating in any degree th preparation for
transporting troops to Cuba In accordance
with th wiahe of th president, th
ranking official her in the army and
navy are still of the opinion that Secre
tary Taft will succeed In effecting an
arrangement which will obviate the neces
lty of landing a tlngl American soldier
on Cuban soil. They believe that event
In Havana ar shaping up directly tn
accordance with the plan of th secre
tary of war and that while the situation
appears to b desperate the present as
pect is really only one-hase of the pro
gram mapped out by Secretary Taft. It
la believed hi purpose was to clear th
field for a complete reconstruction in
Cuba, but that this did not necessarily
Involve Intervention In the sense of armed
occupation of the island -by American
troops. President Palma's withdrawal, or
at least that of th conservative advisors
who surrounded him, was, however, be
lieved to b essential .to the working out
of this plan.
It is conjectured by the official hero
that the secretary's purpose Ik to carry
out direct instructions rom President
Roosevelt and give the Cubans another
chanc to govern their own island. 'The
only way thl could be worxvd out, they
ay, would b for him to call together
some of th most patriotic and Judicious
of th Cuban, without regard to party
affiliation and ask them, to creat a pro.
visional government. They point oat that
the Insurgent general would be asked to
giv their allegiance to this government,
temporarily at lesst, and the military
forces of th Palma government would
be expected to support it, that the pro
visional government would be pledged to
call new .elections under conditions that
would Insure th control of th permanent
government by a majority, of the Cuban
people, and that If they fall again to
maintain order and security in th Island
then Intervention must ensue, resulting
In probabl annexation.
No Devrlaaitneala Thla Week.
President Roosevelt ia expected to trrlvt
In Washington nsxt Monday night and
army officer ar of tb opinion that thr
will be no aenaatlonal development in
Cuban affaire befor that tiro. Th presi
dent haa been constantly In communica
tlon with Major Oeneral F. C. Ainawortb.
th military secretary, and Brigadier Oen
eral J. Franklin Bell, the chief of staff of
th army, for several days. All their plana
for preparing to meet any emergency which
may demand th endlng of troop to Cuba
hav been approved at Oyster Bay and th
president haa repeatedly concurred in
recommendation by general staff officer
that everything possible b In readlnao for
any turn tba Cuban ertai may take. At
th president' suggestions, officers in all
psrts of tb Vnlted States hav been ad
vised to prepare for a call to service in
Cuba, upon which call th men and officer
of th army can be ready to tail long be
fox transportation can be provided for
tbera.
Although President Roosevelt haa con
stantly cautioned th army to b prepared,
h ha been unwilling to hav th quarter
mast era' department contract for transport
and mak arrangements for tending troops
tt Cuba.
Tht unwillingness of th administration to
"tak this final ttep If regarded by army
men as an Indication that President Roose
velt till hope to tvold landing troops on
Cuban aoil. Th War department cannot
prepare commercial ship for transport
service tn lea than t week after taking
po aealon of them. ' Consequently If there
