REPuBLIcAN MACHINE ARROGANCE

Mayor McAleer must select three men friendly to
the organization there will be no board Of public
works."
That declaration is attributed to a prominent
ager Of the local Republican machine otherwise known
the organization" And there is doubt that the
statement has substantial basis The new board Of pub
lie works viii control vast amount Of socalled
patronage" element very much needed for oling
TIE Republican machine.
In the bold declaration quoted above the citizens
Of Los Angeles the promise of municipal reform
fading like dissolvng view. The change in the plan
Of managing the citys public works, effected at the
last election. supposed to mark the beginning of
new era In that branch of municipal affairs. The plan
to take the street department out of the hands Of an
individual politician and intrust the whole system of
public works to board of three trustworthy men was
hailed by the public long stride toward reform.
But in the present phase of the situation there is
plain evidence that the Republican machine is de-
ermned to hold the city's public works political
asset That department employs hundreds Of voters In
normal conditions, and the number can be increased
about election time many hundreds more That fex+
biy offers inducement to the Republican managers
that is of far concern, in their estimation, than
the good of the public service.
1t is of vital importance to the interests Of this
community that the new plan of managing the public
works be started right 1t the general understand
ing when the plan adopted by the popular vote that
partsanism to be ignored in the system. 1t
was largely for the sake of eliminating politics from
important line of public affairs that the change
was effected.
And now when the time has arrived to put the
machinery of the board of public works In motion
there comes the defiant blast quoted above
Mayor McAleer must select three men friendly to
the Republcan organization there will be board
of public works"
Thus go glimmering the hopes of municipal reform

Good for Senator Rainesl

There is no more experienced legisla-
tor at Albany than the Hon. JOHN RAINEs
Of Canandaigua Ontario county. With
but a short hiatus in the continuity OF
his service, Mr.. RAINEs has been a Sena-
tor elected by the Republicans Of his dis
trict since 1885 He has been both a
subordinate and a master on the most
important committees OF the State Sen
ate, Of which he is now the majority
leader. So when Mr. RAINEs imparts
his views concerning the failure 70 heed
the recommendation Of the Stevens in
vestigating committee to give cheaper
gas TO the consumers Of New York city
those views are entitled to receive re-
spectful consideration.
In explanation Of the refusal Of five
Tammany Senators 10 vote for cheaper
gas-a seventy-flve or an eighty cent
rate-for the New York city consumer,
Senator RAINEs has this to say:
1t Wus well known 70 myself and other Repub-
lloan Senators that the vote by which the gas bin
was lost was not nearly close as was made to APP
pear BY the formal record. Normally. the hill
lacked only one vote. but In poinJ Of fact we had
reason TO believe the Tsmmany votes recorded
for Il would have been cast against II had the ne
cessity for such action arisen.
If we had needed three votes TO pass the bin We
would have 20, two, and II We had needed but two
we would have got only one. That the Etua-
ton We were up against The TammAny division
on the bill was more app rent than real
Now Senator RAINEs, the Republican
leader Of the Senate at Albany, which is
composed Of thirty-six Republican Sena-
can perform further service to the
people Of New York city by telling them
in his inimitably succinct style exactly
why the following thirteen Republican
Senators voted with. the five Tammany
Senators against the cheaper gas rate
recommended by the Republican in
vestigsting committee headed by the
Hon. FREDERICK STEVENS Of Attica,

small difference in the unit cost Of the
goods that We shall still find a market.
Consul MASON cites fresh apples, OF
which we sent 20 Germany last year
about 1900 tons, AZ one Of the articles
affected by the increased rate. Ger
many does not buy our apples because
they are cheap. but because they are
good. They are now admitted free.
The new rate will tax them 10 marks
the hundred Kilograms, OF a matter OF
perhaps u OF rs cents a barrel. Apples
from treaty countries will enter at about
one-half that. Query: II the United
States sold last year $1,000 tons OF apples
to Germany in free and open competi-
ton with Italy, Belgium. Servia, Ru-
mania and Switzerland, how much diff
ference will o or cents 9 barrel make in
the German demand for the American
fruitP There are various other items
on which a similar calculation would re-
suit in a similar conclusion.
Another feature appears in the fact
that world trade has a marked ten
dency to equalize itself. II Germany,
under her treaty with Russia, buys
wheat from her instead Of from the
United States, Russia will have just so
much less TO sell TO England or to the Far
East, and those countries will look to
the United States for their supply, and
will take that which otherwise might
have gone to Germany.
Assuming the possibility that no ar
rangement is effected by which we Sc
cure the advantage Of Germany's con-
ventional rates some trade loss may
be expected, though it will probably be
represented by a comparatively small
sum. In the meantime pending nego-
tiations which would look toward Sc
curing for us those conventional rates,
we decline to go into Mysteries over the
possibility of the loss Of so small drop
in our trade bucket as would follow our
inability to get in on Germany's ground
floor. Nearly all of the loss we might
sustain would be in foodstuffs, and il
Germany does not want our surplus
some one else will.
We bid the anxious and the worried
20 cheer up. This nation will manage
10 pull through somehow.

there are signs Of a disposition to do this.
