H4RBOR SEWAGE SrJTS.

1t is gratifying grounds of reason and ius-
tice to have action sought before the Supreme
Court of the United States which practically
will couple the Bronx Valley sewer scheme
with that of the Passaic Valley in the suit to
prevent further pollution of the water of New
York Harbor. There may he some technical
differences between the two cases based on
an old agreement between New York and New
Jersey concerning control OF harbor waters.
which make the right Of the Passaic Valley to
pour its sewage into the harb0r less strong
than that of the Bronx Valley, but on general
grounds of equity and common sense the right
Of The Bronx seems decidedly the weaker of
the two, if, indeed. ii is not quite non-existent
Obviously the natural drainage of the Pas
sale Valley is into the basin of New York Bay
The Passac and Hackensack rivers and their
aftluents now flow and have always flowed
into Newark Bay and thence into the narrow
waters around Staten Island and so into both
the upper and the lower bays of New York
The present plan. which is being opposed by
New York is simply to pour the drainage into
the upper bay at n different point from that at
which it now enters it. Obviously also the
natural drainage of the Bronx Valley is not and
probably never has been into the Hudson River
or into New York Bay hut into the East River
or the head of Long Island Sound and the
present plan. which also is heing opposed. is

manner into channel and Il receptacle which

The deficit in revenue for 1909-'10 is now esti-

TAXATION IS AN ISSUE.

Said representative of labor at the meeting
to organize the Committee of Fifteen: Taxa
'tiOn as an issue may go in brownstone fronts
hut not in tenements" This is a familiar no
ton. that the class which pays indirect taxes
is Indifferent to the cost of government. Yet
III the recent municipal election in London
that very issue-the eXtravagant cost of gov
ernment the increasing public debt and higher
taxes-sufficed to overturn the party in power
To be sure. under the municipal suffrage laws
of England the property owning class IS more
fully represented and the indirectly taxed class
less fully represented in the electorate Of London
than it is in New York. Moreover the oppor-
tunity for interesting the occupant of the tene-
ment where taxation as an issue does not go,
is better here than was that of appealing to the
poorer voter in London. In the expenditures
in London emphasis had all been laid on the
popular side Here it has not been. There
money had been spent freely. but it had heen
spent in providing the poorer part of the popu-
ation with what it was supposed to want. Here
the tenement dweller has protited little by the
extravaganza of the present administration, He
wants subwavS. and out of S300000,000 the
Mcclellan administration has spent practically
nothing on subways.- The issue IS not merely
that too much money has been spent but that
the great majority of the people have not got
what they wanted for il.

resentatlves. which has often found that the
sums asked for were S50OO0OO0 S75.OO0OOO
