SEVENTH-AVE. OPPOSED.
People There Do Not Want Ditch
Board Undecided.

Opposition to ditchng Seventh-ave. In building a
subway is growing steadily the plan is more
and more discussed Within several days anti
ditch organization similar to the formed by
Broadway merchants and taxpayers will be in the
field. While all the hubbub against ditch is go
ing on among its opponents it is interesting TO know
that the Rapid Transit Commission has as yet
formed definite plan of what it will do in either
thoroughfare.
When William Barclay Parsons, the chief en-
gineer Of the commission, asked yesterday
what really going TO be done he said:
mo definite plan of building spur from Four
teenth 10 Forty-second st. has been decided on
in fact It has not been worked out. Whether
a SPUR will up Broadway Seventh-ave
whether a tunnel ditch will be dug. or the
spur built at ALL has not been settled I have not
had time to think it out yet. I have been vari-
ously quoted in some papers recently. have been
quoted saying things l never said, and some
things did say were distorted TO suit the occa-
SION.
Mr. Parsons was asked if the subway would be
finished by next April.
If you mean the entire system finished. he re-
piled, Il will say that it will not be. as strikes
have seriously delayed it, and the work. particu-
larly the extreme upper West Side could not
possibly be finished by spring II you were to ask
If trains will be running by April in part OF the
subway, l might say that is possible"

Island making excise arrests. The two men re-
ferred to are Detectives William Black and Thomas

EVERY CITIZEN A CAPITALIST.

Ultimate General Diffusion of Wealth
Among the People.
The outlook may be long one, but
it is clear that consolidation is a
movement that must result in an ulti-
mate general diffusion Of wealth in
average ownership and consequently
in the average income and comfort,
and in a considerable reduction of the
difference between the average wealth
and that of those whose possession is
greatest. There is clearly a visible
time when every worthy citizen shall
have become capitalist with greater
or smaller investments in the industry
or industries which he prefers. How
powerfully this must work toward
general cOntentment and the stabil-
ity of society need not be discussed.
Clearly the conception is Of a much
truer industrial democracy than that
contemplated by the socialist who
crudely imagines that Industrial equal
ity can be achieved by making the di.
