RETRENCHMENT.

The Board of Estimate and Apportionment
showed good judgment in considering and Writ
ually approving a resolution stopping for the
present all proceedings for the acquisition OF
new park land. The parks affected are in out
lying city areas, where they are as yet little
needed and have been plotted only as a pracau-
tiOn against the future They are one and all
in the class of municipal luxures and luxuries
should be sacrlfced-at least temporarily
when the burden Of necessary expenditures
grows abnormally heavy. We need bridges, sub
ways. better traction facilities. a larger police
force aud cleaner streets much more than we
need breathing spaces in the sparsey settled
outskirts Of the city. and If our indebtedness
now mounting much too rapidly-is TO be in
creased we should have return for it In ben
efts shared as widely as possible.
We said the other day that an increase in
municipal expenditure did not necessarily argue
unsound public policy, for the budget must pro-
vide for the proper development of the city, and
development brings a steady increase in taxable
values. The real point is whether our admins
trative methods are or are not wasteful, and
Inquiries like that into the management of the
Borough Presidents Office in Manhattan usually
show laxity, an inflated margin of profit for
contractors and more or less indifference 10 the
public interest. A genuine and lasting retrench-
ment can be effected by thorough reorganiza-
non OF the municipal administration and the
elimination OF the old idea that important mIl-
nlcipal Iunetonarles must ever keep an eve
open 10 the promotion Of some local organiza-
tion's private interests. A clear case Of psinp
the more costly in preference to the less
costly method is the city's topsy- -turvy practice
OF borrowing money at per cent to meet its
bills and reDaying these loans later out of the
tax collections. This heavy interest charge
could be saved IL the years taxes were collected
when logically due. 1t is slipshod finance 10

TO-NORROW'S ELECTION.

Al the election tomorrow Assenlblym3n will
be chosen in every district, and it is Of great
Importance TO the state that serviceable men
should be sent TO Albany. The report of the Citi-
Zens Union upon the conduct of this city's rep
resentatives at the last session of the Legis
lature was to the effect that most Of the Re
publican Assemblymen were useful members
and most of the Tammany men were either in
conspicuous or unfit. That report took them as
individuals. As members of party the Repub
lican ASSemblymen introduced or supported the
important constructive legislation of the last
session. The Tammany members were, with few
exceptions, mere obstruction TO the states
progress toward better government. Sometimes
in resisting the Hughes programme we suppose
they We're following the accepted tactics of an
opposition: more often they were merely play
ing the personal game of Messrs. Grady and
McCarren. There is no larger problem in state
government to-day than that of improving the
character Of legislatures and their responsive
ness 10 public opinion Executives and the
Judiciary enjoy public confidence in a greater
measure than does the legislative branch. The
Republican Assemblymen who will be elected
this year will be Hughes men. The Tammany
men Will be Grady and McCarren men. Under
such circumstances the Republican candidates

party but of independents as we'll

of the sea was prosecuted. therefore, during
Il northward trip from that point The sledges
of the party were driven fully hundred miles
from the continent. For wO-thrds of the dis
tance the water was shallow. 1t then suddenly
deepened. and with more than two thousand
feet of line out 10 bottom could be found. The
inference drawn from these measurements was
that the submerged continental shelf" does
not reach much more than sixty miles from the
coast.
Many geographers hold that il is hopeless To
look for large islands in the Arctic Ocean when
once the continental shelf is passed. If the
position of that boundary should be determined
with precision therefore, they would feel that
the matter was put beyond dispute. There is Il
microscopic chance however, that if Captain
MikkleSeu and his associates had gone further TO
the northward they would have discovered that
they had been merely crossing a submarine
valley and had not gone beyond the true con-
tinental shelf. 1t is desirable too 10 follow UP
the work already done by a similar search To
the eastward and westward Of the points at
which the most significant of this years sound

gest that. after all. his suspicious may have
been well founded. Much of the ice which he
traversed was of kind seldom formed else

or evaded and every citizen has the strong
est possible interest in economical and eff
cient government and should be deeply con-
cerned in getting the best return possible for
his money. Tammany Hall naturally encomr-
ages waste and profigacy, since it always tries
to profit as the middleman between the tax
payers and the tax eaters. 1t encourages the
foolish idea that the interests of the assessed

a matter Of fact the nominally untaXed have as
great stake in good government as the nom
