4 GOOD TAJ.

The debate on the new liquor tax bill in the
Assembly brought forth the epigram. Better
20 tax liquor than 10 tax land That, We
think will be the feeling Of the great majority
OF the people of This State in judging Of the law.
A practical problem of raising revenue was pre-
xepted Should we continue 10 raise S5,G00,0eO
q vesr bv general fax for State purposes on
zeal and personal property already heavily bur
dened hy local taxation, or levy new Indirect
tax on some of the same properties. or raise the
excise fees 10 the level that is found practicable
IN other States less wealthy than New York
Considerations Of Justice and morality prompted
the increase in the liquor law which has been
voted by both houses and will undoubtedly be
approved ly the Governor.
OF course. this measure win be denounced as
m outrage by the opposition. Any other meas
ure would have been. matter what it taxed
A failure 10 PASS any measure and return TO the
evsre-n of indirect taxation would have given
equal opportunity for faultfnding. The Demo
Gratis are perhaps more than ordinarily indig-
rant that their friends the saloonkeepers should

land than liquor any day They would rather
burden legitimate business than the institution
10 which they look for large body of their
voters But after all. their frantic opposition is
more for the sake of opposing than anything
else II they were 10 come into power two years
hence II is not likely that they would lower the

eaioonteepers Tammany would not object TO
gaining n large legitimate revenue from them;
and as g. matter Of fact the tax, though large
increase upon that at present exacted, is not
larger than that borne without complaint In
neighboripg States. 1t may diminish someW hat

done There are many more here than are

sunnlv Of the public demand for drink. High
license has long been regarded as a conserva-

fhe readiness with which licenses were secured
under the present law, that the limits OF reason

reached.
The massage of this bill solves the pressing

EXTREME ECONOMY.

City officials who are ambitious to cut down
expenses and save money for the municipality
should be encouraged in their ambition. But
they may have gone a step too far in that di-
rection when they deprived the Morgue men
of their Tations and made them eat with the
tramps at the city lodging house The men
who do the grewsome work at the Morgue re
ceive about 40 cents a day This is certainly
not princely compensation, and TO some peo-
pie who know what is required Of a man who
works as a day laborer IN the gloomy dead
house it is puzzle how men can be found for
the places Heretofore, the meals which were
served to the ten employees cost about 10 cents
EACH while under the new arrangement the
men will be fed at the rate of three cents
meal and we sympathze with them when they
object to the change
It is true that the Morgue men do not belong
to a high class Of wage earners, but they think
themselves a trife better than the tramp while
they are employed, and they contend also that
for the proper performance of their CHASTITY
duties they should be properly nourished. 1t
seems that the Bureau Of Dependent Adults
might find some other place to exercise its COM
mendabIe ideas of economy than in the group
of poor fellows who compose the "deadhouse
gang"

child labor legislation, hundreds Of children
would be deprived of their needed vacation

The Child Labor Committee in a circular writ

New-York State has for a number of years
prohibited all vacation work in factories TO
children under fourteen years of age There
are many reasons apparent to our committee
whv there should be no weakening of the ex-
listing laws in this regard, and am sure tnat
your familiarity with the industry In question
will suggest other reasons not known TO US.
To exempt canning factories from the operation
of the law would be class legislation or the
