TRYING TO BEAT THE CITY.

There can be no two honest opinions
as to the outrageous injustice OF the at
tempt OF the State to recover over six
hundred thousand dollars of this city as
its share Of the tax for taking care Of
the State insane.
New York supports Its own insane pau
pers. 1t has lands and buildings for that
purpose worth nearly ten million dollars,
and 1t expended last year nearly nine
hundred thousand dollars for mainte-
nance and care OF It's unfortunate de-
to pay the States demand our people
would be taxed twice over.
Enough injuE tlce is done to the city by
the Increase made every year in the as
sessments by the State Board OF Equal
zation. which puts on New York an UNI
due share OF the general taxation and
the school tax. But when an attempt is
made to tax us twice over and to make
us pay expenses that ought to fall on
those who derive benefit from the law fol
the support of the insane poor by the
State the outrage becomes unbearable
! \ county gets rid of the expense OF
caring for these unfortunates. and puts
the tax for their support on another
county which derives no benefit whatever
| from the law.
Comptroller Fitch does right to resls
ICES this double taxation, then its con
stitutionality ought to be thorough!

The Tammany platform says: 1--WE
recognize that improved rapid transit
facilities are vital TO the continued
growth and prosperity OF our city. and
favor any proposition which promises
progress in this direction. The time al
ready lost in unavailing dependence
upon private enterprise for solution
OF the problems Of rapid transit makes
plain the necessity for municipal con-
struction OF a complete system, with
proper safeguards thrown about this
expenditure OF public money" Yet II

The Way TO He Loved.

All the real advantages OF life have
their roots In virtue, just as the OBJ
servances of polite society sprung FIRST
from the Golden Rule. Everyone, ex-
cept, perhaps. the few shrinking spirits
akin to those Of Thoreau and Haw-
thorne. loves to be loved; no one, with
honesty. despises a popularity which
has been gained without loss of self
respect. The recipe for such need of at
lection il very simple, but one which Is.
nevertheless, hard to follow. Love and
you will be loved Is not a paradox.
but logical certainty; seek the hap
riness Of others and your own will fol-
