WHAT rs MR. CLAUsEN WAITING FOR'

H..
1t would not do TO take Park Commissioner
Clausen's letter to the Central Federated Union
rs conclusive that the pay chair privilege in the
marks Is 10 be cancelled, for If public remon-
strances should cease it is much to be feared
that no such action would take place; but the
letter docs indicate that the commissioner is in
n frame of mind TO be benefited by further
expressions. and he gives reason for the hope
that in time he may be brought to see-what
10 most mon is sclf-evident-that privilege or
tbIs character is wholly improper and mex
cusabIe The Park Commissioners course since
the granting of this privilege has been charac-
teristic He entered into the contract without
apnarently consulting anybody certainly with
ont permitting any one but Spate to DID, put
Immediately announced that he welcomed eN-
pressions of opinion from the public as 10 the
right and wisdom Of his action Nhen the
discussion became widespread Ar. Clausen SAID
that he considered it premature. Then, although
all the public expressions on the SUBJECT were
without exception denunciatory, the commits
sioner grayely announced that he observed
general approbation on the part OF the public
and that consequently he had no intention OF
revoking the privilege. Now in his letter 10
the Central Federated Union he declares that
while he thinks that the privilege couid De
conducted without Infringing upon any oh' :"
"rights. and that its effect is generally misun-
"derstood" nothing which is demonstrated 10
he unpopular and Objectionable will be sup
ported by him.
The amount of demonstration which MI
Clausen requires in order to determine whether
or not an act of his is unpopular and obJec-
tIonable" is evidently formidable in quantity
So far as we have observed, no person except
the commissioner has had good word TO say
for tho Grant and the public denunciaton has
hean general and bitter. What more does the
commissioner want? The way not TO support
unpopular and Objectionable things is not TO
sunnort them. The way to cancel foolish ana
outrageous contract is to cancel It, OF course.
II would have been more pleasant for the COM
missioner if he had possessed the wit In the
beginning TO see that the granting of this prlvl-
lege was sure TO be unpopular and objection
able" There was no great mystery about II.
The nublic has habit which is constant enough
to he depended upon of objecting to the grant
ing away of it's rights and privileges for private
gain Mr. Clausen might have thought this out
for himself before he acted, or, II he had CON
s1lted any one, it doubtless would have been
made plain to him; but he preferred TO be
guided by public expressions made after he
acted. he must not complain if the expressions
have been promptly and unanimously against
him.
But now that he has the expressions what is
he waiting for? If he is unwilling TO support
grants of privileges which are unpopular and
objectionable, why does he not revoke the Spate
privilege and he done with it?

RETENTE ERON POSTERS.

The proposal to secure the regula ton of the
advertising sign nuisance by the imposition of
n small stamp tax finds favor wherever it is
considered. 1t is plan that has not been tried
in this country with reference TO posters. but
frequently resorted to for the regulation of
other kinds of business which are likely TO be-
come a public nuisance If left to operate unre
strained. There can be no doubt that the adj
vertisng sign business is carried to an ex-
treme which does make 1t public nuisance.
No legitimate requirement of commerce renders
necessary the monstrosties of ugness which
intrude themselves upon the passers in the
streets. Our cities are entitled to some prOtec
tion from the damage done to their beauty, and
indirectly to their wealth. by this use for pri-
vate gain of what is really a public franchise.
A poster has value only as it is put where pco-
pie in a public place must see it. and the privi-
lege of putting it there should he paid for to
the public. A tax on the display of posters is
merely the exaction of just compensation for
being allowed to accost people in the streets
with requests to buy crackers and soap. just
as the license tax for pushcarts is the just COM
pensation for being allowed TO make the actual
transaction in crackers and soap in the street
Three years ago The Tribune suggested that
posters offered a source of revenue TO Congress,
then seeking to provide for the expenses OF the
with Spain. Lawmakers were nj mat time
too little familiar with the methods employed
abroad to tax signs. and stamp taxes 10 which
they were more accustomed, were adopted. AS
"rThe Rochester Post Express" notes in its COM
ment reprinted in another column. on our Paris
correspondents recent account of the French
poster law. stamp tax on advertising signs fur-
nishes a convenient means of indirect taxation.
The United States now has no need of such reve-
nue., but New-Y ork has great need of II. Gov
ernor Odell is striving TO secure money for the
States expenses without continued recourse 10
the general property tax with its equalization
embarrassments. Care must be taken not to
levy tax which will drive money and business
to other States. stamp tax on posters would
involve no such danger. IT would make those
who want to gain the attention Of our people
pay a trifie for the privilege, and as this is the
greatest market of the country they would
gladly do So 1t would furnish the State a reve-
nue. taken in considerable measure from non
residents who sell here but do not manufact-
ure here by an mpost which would not he
seriously felt by anybody. resident or non-resi-
dent And best OF all, 1t would discourage
reckless and senseIess multiplication of signs
while not making burdensome advertising to
secure for any business in a reasonable and
decent way the attention Of the public.
