To the Editor of The Journal:
la your paper of the 13ih, Mr. T. J.
Green takes Issue with my views In
regard to taxing adjacent land own
ers for the construction of public
highways. Now I do not know who
T. J. Green is, but he says that so
many people seem to have "perverted
ideas of equity and Justice that if
I will only write again and give him
the opportunity he "will be glad to
inaka further comment," and thus
give the public the benefit of his
store of knowledge on this great sub
ject. So a little more on the "other
side"' of this question. I repeat my
first proposition, as given In my form
er article, that all property that is
enhanced in value by reason of public
improvements should bear its full
share of taxation accordingly, but be
yond that it should not be taxed for
making or upkeep of such Improve
ments. Take Mr. Green's illustration of
John Smith and his one hundred
acres of land. Suppose that this land
U enhanced $10,000 by the building
of a hard surface road through it.
For the right of way for said road
he receives no remuneration and his
land will not produce a boll more
of cotton or an ear more of corn by
reason of the road. His only way to
realize a penity on this fancied en
hancement of $10,000 Is by sale of
his farm, which sale he does not wlh
to make. Perhai It is the home of
Ills child-hood and heritage of his
fathers. But if it Is "equity and Jus-

number of telegrams of felicitations
he received in the few hours after his
selection from friends who really
I knew him. He ?ald that he priied
tin. apll lifa frftti. ntnnv anvluj
.i,,Mi. th. .nu ...ii..ki . .hose much more than the mass oi
eluding the anle available to men
who begin at the foot of the ladder.
He has battled his way to wealth and
honors, writes one recent interview
er of the chairman, and now deserves
to be called "a winner of the blue
ribbon In finance, politics, and also
in matrimony." White has "gone
throngh the mill," according to a
special dispatch from Columbus.
Ohio, to the New York Times. He
knows what it means "to be knocked
about and to have to make a stern
fight for success." According to this
account:
White knows the ambitions and
hopes of the small-town man, and he
has also played with big things in
politics and business. While ho was
in congress he was named "Klondike
Pete" by his intimate friends, not
only because he bad spent two and a
half years In the Klondike during the
gold-fever period, but because they
realized that he appreciated how the
gold-seeker felt in facing the
hardships of that country and had a
keen understanding of human nature.
There Is nothing of the snob about
White, either as a seeker In the uold-
fielils or as a successful busiiir uan.
He has learned to recogntii" the good
in a man and soften nls opinio-.i (.bout
lice" thai he should pay ten thousand 'anything that might oe charactarlwd

duty of the government to collect it.
But Mr. Green may say let him uiy
part of said enhancement. Well, what
part? If It is "equity and Justice"
for him to pay part, Is Is not equally
t.o for him to pay all T So John Smith
is called on for ten thousand dollars
for which not a penn.whas been add
ed to his bank account. He cannot
pay it and is forced to sell. At forc
ed sales real estate seldom brings
its full value, and the owner after
White reflects his character In his
appearance. He is or Ihe rough-and-ready
type. He does not resent crit
icism; in fact, he smiles nt it and ad
mits raulia. He says nj learned one
lesson that every m has faults
while he wns knockins about the
world, and therefore is ready always
to forgive rather than condemn.
Born in Elnilra. N. Y.. White spent
his boyhood in Tituaville, Pa.,VJl has
passed most of his .nature life in
Ohio. At Princeton he was a eludent
formal telegrams which he received
from men and women who had heard
of him but whom he had never met.
White is a graduate of Princeton of
the class of 'S3 and was popular
among men there Just as he has been
popular among men in his latter
years. He is distinctly a man's man
in every sense of the word.
He has made most of his money
he U said to be worth a million to-riay-l
in oil. His business is that of an
oll-aiiiler, and he has interests in
Ohio, West Virginia, and Oklahoma.
The accumulation of a fortune has
not changed him a bit. He has made
more friends, but Re has kept the old
ones too.
.White was a Wilson man in 1912,
and he was for Cox this year the min
ute he beard that Cox was a candi
date for the uomination. He believed
firmly in Cox and thinks h will make
a great president. On this basis only.
White says, he Is entering the fight
as National Chairman to elect his
friend.
The Sun and New York Herald Is
resiionsible for these additional side
lights on the character and ways of
(he Democratic campaign manager.
On his way back from San Francis
co. White went around by Seattle to
look over Ihe ground he had traveled
twenty years before on the way to
and from the Klondyke. He didn't
have a very good time. The city had
