NAV be equitable and desirable, but provides
that It shall be made under the law OF 1906
which IS absurd. For that III advised law, II
retained upon the statute book, would compel
the payment Of the greater part of this adal-
tional revenue to the schools, which confessedly
do not need it at all and could not use 1t 10
advantage and only a small fraction Of 1t 10 the
State Treasury, which IS In need OF SUBSTANTIAL
addition to its income. The present emoarrass-
ment is due not TO lack of revenue. but to wrong
distribution of it; and the remedy IS not to be
found in an increase of revenue still wrongly
distributed. but in correction of the method OF
distribution.
1t is not Mt all surprising that some New Jer-
sey Democrats of real light and leading repu-
date these fantastic propositions and regard
less of petty considerations Of partisan adyan-
tage give their patriotic support to the wise ana
Just policy Of Governor Fort.

R0R0rGH -EEPENDLTrRES-

Mr. w W. Niles a member of the Charter
Commission who dssents from the views Of
the majority regarding the borough presidents
gave ia The Tribune yesterday the following
reason why elective officers with administra-
tive functions should be retained at the head
of the various boroughs
The boroughs with the exception OF Manhat-
tan are largely undeveloped; large areas in
Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond and The Bronx
little than rural communities with the
land In farms or large tracts which have not
yet been subdiVided. The cost of improving
this property is met by assessment upon the
property 70 be improved These improvements
consist of acquiring title, regulating. grading,
curbing, sidewalks and sewers. We residents Of
the outlying borOughs are spending own
money own property. Is there, therefore.
anything surprising in our insistenCe that
should have something to say to who shall
spend the money for us and how it shall be
spent, and that we do not view with great favor
the thought Of having a commissioner appointed
by the Mayor. who win be beyond our reach and
Indifferent TO opinion spend our hard earned
dollars?
But Of this cost of improving streets the city
in general pays about half, so that it should
have certainly as much to say as to the expen-
diture as the residents Of the outlying bor-
oughs The rest of the money expended by the
borough presidents comes from the city at
large either IN the form Of budget or corporate
stock appropriations. so that the cty's inter
ests to use Mr. Niles's own argument are
paramount.
Even thus the city could well afford to leave
the carrying out of these local improvements,
paid for in part by assessments on benefited
property. to a locally elected official if such
a course had proved economical But on the
contrary. ii has been shown To be extremely
wasteful. The local interest in "how our
money shall be spent" 10 quote Mr.. Niles, which
he assigns as a reason for leaving such expen-
zl,o ,,11 1rt tI,o
has never been sufficient to compel an econo1n-
zeal use of ii. The city cannot afford the
drain Of borough mismanagement even if the
local residents are Indifferent 10 It,

New-York tribune., 1909-03-13

A vexatious situation has existed at the
southern end of the 72d street subway station,
on the uptown side for several days. An enor-
nous work bench. which is probably required
for certain improvements in progress there,
occupies a fA~gA share Of space on an excep-
tionalIv narrow platform. It almost entirely
blocks the entrance to and exit from the rear
end Of the seventh and the front end of the
eighth of all express trains. That no more
serious consequences than delay in unloading
and loading trains have occurred Is a marvel
Immediate relief would be afforded by shifting
the obstacle to the eastern edge Of the platform,
local trains being so short that access to them
would not be embarrassed. Perhaps, however.
a permanent cure for this and kindred evils
could be found by a competent engineer. At
least half a dozen ways of removing such OBJ
structions temporarily could be suggested, and
at least one might prove so simple and feasible
that contractors could be compelled 20 adopt it.

Bryan offered TO give to the county showing

The Albany correspondent of THE Express has
interviewed the Democratic members of the Legis-

of them already in favor OF the Governors plan
for direct nominations, while none of them op-
poses 1t.
In this connection il may be recalled that the
Erie County Democratic platform OF last fall con-
tanned plank favoring direct nominations. II is
likely that other Democratic platforms throughout
the state carried similar pledge. So it would ap-
pear that Governor Hughes Is to receive help from
a quarter which the Republican state bosses
were looking for assistance 1t Is good politics for
