FREE COLLEGE BILL SIGNED.
The Mayor Accepts IL Because II Isn't
MandatOry-Advises Caution.

Mayor Mcclellan signed yesterd ay the
bill passed by the Legislature authorizing
the city to establish a free college in Brook
Ign. The Mayor said he accepted the bill
because it was not mandatory and the sign
ing OF the bill would not prevent further
investigation as to the need Of such a col.
lege. He said in addition:
The whole matter, in my opinion, should
be left to a commission Of we'll known edu-
c~ational experts and competent business
men to consider and report upon the ad.
visibility of the plan. The city authorities
should certainly seek the best possible
advice before embarking upon so large and
so expensive a project. II will involve a.,
outlay in the initial investment of several
millions of dollars, and will necessitate large
annual appropriations for its maintenance;
1t should be entered into only after careful
deliberation. because it is n Of those under
takings which nce begun cannot after
ward be abandoned.

Pay Of the Aldermen.

Governor HIGGINS has before him now
a bill increasing the pay Of the New York
city Aldermen from 81 900 to s., 900 a year.
There are seventy-three members Of the
board who would be affected by this
increase in compensation, 30 the addi-
tional expense to the city contemplated
by this bill would amount to $73 900 a
year. There seems to be no reason why
the Aldermen should be paid more than
they are at present.
The Aldermen meet for not more than
six hours one afternoon each week dur
ing ten months o rless of the year, maxi
ing perhaps forty-four sessions a year.
They are not obliged to live away from
their homes to attend the sessions Of
the board, their travelling expenses are
negligible-not more than a few cents
their business need not be neglected, and
the inconvenience to which they are
subjected are not worth considering.
They have some committee and local
board work to do outside the hours Of
their sessions, but it is not OF record that
this is particularly arduous.
Comparing their compensation with
that of members of State Legislatures,
it will be found that the city treats them
with great liberality in allowing them
81, 900 each. Eight States and n Terri
tory pay annual salaries to the members
Of their Legislatures as follows:

Illinois, with its Legislature sitting
~biennially, allows 81 900 to each member
for each two years. Iowa, with biennial
sessions, pays $3.50 a session. Missis-
sippi, under similar conditions, allows
$4OO a session. In Pennsylvania each
State legislator gets $500 a session,
and the Legislature meets regularly once
in two years. Washington allows $500 a
session, and, except when called in spe-
cial session, the Legislature meets only
once in two years. The other States pay
for the number Of days the Legislature is
in session, the compensation ranging
from 50 for each Legislative day Kansas,
Michigan, Oregon and Vermont to So a
day in California and Nevada. In all the
States in which a daily fee is paid to
members of the Legislatures the session
is limited in length, except in Idaho, Mich
igan, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas and
Vermont. OF the States named, Idaho
and Texas pay S. a day. South Carolina
81 and the others So. In the other
States paying by the day the longest
sessions possible are ninety days, which
are allowed in Colorado at 81 "a day
and at IS in Arkansas, Maryland, Min
nesota and Missouri. These States have
biennial sessions. The sessions in the
other States are shorter.
The members of these bodies must live
away from their homes, neglect their
personal affairs and incur expenses that
an Alderman never has to meet. Their
work is continuous from day to day,
and not interrupted by periods in which
they can attend to their W affairs, as is
the Aldermen's. An allowance is made
for their transportation expenses, but it
is generally inadequate, as in this State.
1t Is plain that the Aldermen are paid
high in comparison to the members Of
more important legislative bodies. They
ought to be satisfied with what they
receive, or before they ask for more
they should demonstrate that they are
worth a higher wage to their employers.
This they have not done.

Isaac Rice, 30 years old and living at the
Hotel Balmoral, il2th street and lie o
avenue. was arraigned yesterday morning
in the Harlem police court and held for
trial on a charge Of grand larceny.
In June, 1903. the bakery supply firm OF
Arnold, Rice & Adler was formed and a place
Of business opened at 3i8 Washington
street. The partners were Harry Arnold,
Rebecca Rice and Samuel Adler. Each
out I'D $4,000. The finest asset that the
firm priced was the ability Of Isaac Rice,
husband of Rebecca Rice and an expert
enced salesman.
The firm was doing a good sized business
Mt the beginning OF last summer. Blu the
bills rendered to customers on June l
brought In replies that greatly disturbed
the firm. Many customers wrote that
they had already paid Rice. He was called
on for an accounting and left word that
he had been collecting the firms money,
had speculated and lost heavily in Wall
Street and then departed for parts UNI
known. His wife also disappeared.
The firm went into bankruptcy. Harry
Arnold and Samuel Adler were left prac-
tically penniless. An investigation OF the
firms accounts showed that Rice had col
lectsd S52 bills ranging in amounts from
SIS to $500. His populations extended over
a period OF nearly six months.
Along in October Harry Arnold learned
that Rice was back In town and back in the
bakery supply business. Arnold was selling

ADVICE BY AN ALIEN.

Hon. Matt G. Reynolds, former attor- hey for the court of private land claims. has written a letter of several thousand words to the people of New Mexico, and incidentally to those of New Arizona, telling them why they should accept jointure. MT. Reynolds is now the occupant of a federal posi- ton and doubtless erroneously believes that any service he may render the cause of joint statehood will make him less violently "hate to take the money in return for his official services.
 In conclusion, MT Reynolds vitiates all his arguments. He proves the use lessness of his activity and relieves the apprehensions of the jointists of the two territories. He could possibly suc- ceed in doing nothing more than to scare the rest of us
 The conclusion of MT. Reynolds is that no matter what the territories may do on November 6. congress next winter will make a joint state of Ari- zona and New Mexico. The Foraker amendment. Mir Reynolds believes. was allowed IS a probationary expedient. If we should decide to be decent and tractable, well and good. If not the more heroic measure of forcible joint ure would be applied.
 We have heard all this before with out trepidation but those who have told us this have overlooked the circum- stances under which the Foraker amendment was adopted. It was not a concession from our enemies, but hy our friends. It was what we want ed and what we expected. The men

who gave 1t to us meant by it precisely what is set forth in the amendment. That is, if either Arizona or New Mex ico does not want joint statehood there shall be none. The same men who were strong enough to force this amendment upon the Hamilton bill will be strong enough to dispose of any jointure bill which might arise in the next brief session.
 Moreover it is admitted by all, espe- cially by Speaker Cannon by his in sistence upon the original Hamil- ton bill, that there would never again be so favorable an opportunity to force New Mexico and Arizona into the Union together. So certain was the speaker on that point that he threat ened and no doubt at one time intended to hold up the admission of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
