TEE DIRECT TAX AMEHDWENT.

The extreme ease with which the joint resolu-
ZION submitting the state legislatures the pro-
posed amendment to the federal Constitution
authorizing Congress 10 impose direct taxes
without apportioning them among the states &C
corcing 10 population has passed both houses is
q startling commentary on the value Of the long
accepted theory that the Constitution had be-
come amendment proof. II had been lightly
suned that because the last three amendments
30 the Constitution were adopted under abnor-
NAL political conditions-after period Of civil
war and for the purpose Of securing the fruits
of that war-and because Congress had sub
mitted no further amendment in the forty years
following. the possibility Of change had been
practically exhausted II was held that the
Constitution had become finished and com
tleted instrument, unalterabie IN terms and that
efforts 10 adapt il 10 meet new political de-
Ynands would have TO take the form Of observing
its letter though departing from its spirit, as
had been done two generations ago by the sub
tstjt1,tion Of popular election Of President and
Vice President for the indirect election originally
provided for. and as has recently been done IN
rart by devices for taking the real power 10
name United States Senators from the state
legislatures and vesting it in the voters.
II any one had prophesed two months ago
that BY the middle Of July, 1909. constitutional
amendment Of any sort would be before the
state legislatures for action, ne would nave been
laughed at. 1t would have been considered
pure fight Of fancy If any one had then pre-
oicted that an amendment intended TO remove
existing restrictions on The levying Of direct
taxes would pass the Senate unanimously and
have only fourteen votes cast against II in the
House Of Representatives. Yet the inertia
which has been counted on 50 confidently IN dis
courage all attempts 10 modify our organic law
has been shown 10 be only a fgment Of the
Imagination. Our constitutional system IS not
stiff with age. If the necessary desire 10 make
changes exists, the Constitution Will be found 10
h. o,,jte as adaptable and elastic as It was in
rhe beginning
whsr made II seem SO unyielding perhaps
WAS the tradition handed down that change was
inexpedient and dangerous. and that rash eE-
periments might upset that carefully calculated
system Of checks and balances By means Of
which the earlier statesmen hoped 10 preserve

4 POINT OF DIVERGENCE.

The testimony which the joint legislative com
mittee is obtaining in Boston regarding direct
primaries illustrates what we have already
said as to the impOssibility Of securing any
that bears upon Governor Hughes's plan. Rep
resentative William Z. GarCelOn, chairman Of
the Massachusetts House Committee on Elpc
ton Laws, testified thus:
I'm firm believer IN party responsibility, and.
under direct nominations. I fear the man with
the biggest pocketbook or the loudest voice is
more apt to get the nomination. When You
have your man nominated. he is bound by moth
ing but personal responsibility. I believe, as
said. that is a weak substitute for party respor-
sibility
But it is precisely party responsibility that
Governor Hughes seeks TO establish with his
proposal. The present system does not produce
party responsibility. 1t begets responsibility 10
the organization, The machine or the boss, but
not to the party in general Mr.. Hughes wants
10 make the organization responsible 10 the
voters who compose the party.
Grant. for the sake of the argument. that IN
der the pure direct primary system the man
with the Ioudest voice or longest purse wins,
and that be may with impunity disregard re-
sponsibility TO his party This is not proved
because Mr. GarCelon and some others hold that
opinion. But grant il, none the less It proves
nothing about the probable results under Gov
ernor Hughess plan. The pure direct system
ignores party OIEdHiGallOn anu WAS teflSt'I
partly TO enable oiCehOlderS safely 10 ignore It.
The Hughes plan puts strong emphasis upon
party organization. 1t retains and uses almost
AS much machinery as is in existence to-day.
The nominating committee will do virtually the
work Of the nominating convention to-day. The
organization will have the advantage over in
dependent movements within the party in ease
in making nominations and it will have for its
nominations the preferred place on the ballot.
These advantages are sufficient 10 induce can
didates TO seek to he named by party committees
and TO feel responsible to them. But these
nominating bodies must not only command favor
for their candidates, but they themselves and
the party organization in general will, If Mr..
HugheSs plan is successful, be made responsible
TO the party in general and not, now, to
few individuals, by the device Of making the
organization no longer practically self-perpetuat-
ing. but dependent directly and annually on the
approval of the party voters for its work. Pure
direct nominations may result in general ire
sponsibility, but the convention system Is no
better with responsibility under 1t all directed
to a few irresponsible individuals. Mr.. Hughess
plan if successful would leave 10 room for
irresponsib;lity either in Office or behind the
scenes.

FRESH AIR FOR THE CHILDREN.


The two thousand and more children already
sent to the country by the Tribune Fresh Air
Fund have exhausted the treasury. The bills
paid Yesterday for tickets. medical examina-
ton and provisions for the homes where several
hundred children are being cared for consumed
the entire amount contributed this season. The
gifts have been many, but the pressure upon
the manager has been unusual for the opening
of the season.
Relying upon the average weekly receipts,
plans have been made for sending fifteen hun
dred children this week from the crowded
streets of the tenement districts to the country,
where there is plenty of room and nourisfing
food in abundance They have been selected
by the missionaries. nurses, charitable society
visitors Settlement workers and others inter
ested in the welfare of childhood. The Board
of Health and the funds medical examiner
pronounce them proper benefciaries for fresh
air privileges. Tickets have been ordered, but
not paid for: a debt cannot be incurred this
year The question is simple one: Shall the
children he allowed to go, or shall the orders
be deferred until the money comes in?
Five thousand dollars will he needed to buy
the tickets for the going and returning trips and
for the maintenance Of those who are cared for
in the several homes. The invitations from
churches and committees for the next month
are numerous but the hospitality from farmers
and other people in farming communities must
he met by a corresponding liberality on the part
of those who love children.
The readers of The Tribune have never failed
to respond to bare recital Of the needs of the
children; they will not now. More than twelve
hundred children are now away, enjoying to the
full their happy fortnight. Many of them went
away anRmic and weak-nOt a few were taken
to the train or boat directly from the hospital
A hundred children, selected from those whose
parents have been the victims Of tuberculosis,
but who themselves have not yet become in
fected, are taking on weight and building UP
resisting power in a special home in the Cats
kills.
Ten thousand children await the summons Of
DR. Devins to prepare for the formights outing,
which means happiness and health 70 them,
and q corresponding degree of joy and satisfac-
tiOn 10 their hospitable hosts. The manager,
in turn, awaits the word of the treasurer Of
the fund that willing hearts have responded
literally TO this appeal on behalf of the little
ones. Invitations coming in by every mail must
be accepted declined that the people IN the
country who have needed the children's cry
for q fighting chance to win may make their
summer plans. In the mean time the press
ing question is: Shall the fifteen hundred chill
dren who ready to go this week. and their
hosts we'll be disappointed? We do not be
lieve that they will he. when it is known how
much a small gift sent promptly will accom-
pIish.

IN TNJUDTCTOUS VETO.

The ordinance requiring the labelling Of city
automobiles so that they can be readily ident-
fed has been killed by a veto from Acting
Mayor MCGOWAN. It deserved a better fate.
With rare exceptions the cars belonging to the
city departments are used under circumstances
which make Identification an advantage rather
than a detrment The city ought not TO be
afraid of advertising its own resources and out
fit. Failure TO distinguish public from private
cars encourages failure TO discriminate between
the public and the private uses To which the
citys cars may he put and are often put by
officials who are willing TO indulge in pleasure
jaunts under the color of tours of inspection
The sign on the car is a great stiffener Of the
sense Of official propriety.
Mr.. McGOwan gives two reasons for disap-
proving the ordinance, both far from convinc-
ing One is that Mayor Mcclellan vetoed
similar measure in 1906 on the advice of the
Police and Health departments. The other is
that the sign order seemed TO he Il censure di-
rected AT the heads of the city departments
II may he that the few city autos used in the
detective branch of police work should not he
plainly labelled. Why the others used in the
ordinary routine of departmental administTa-
ton should not he We cannot imagine. It can
involve no censure of any department head TO
direct him TO put his seal on the equipment Of
his office He ought TO be glad to give the pub
lie a chance to compare his autOmobiling staff
with the similar staffs of rival departments.

LET THE BEST PLAN WIN.

With two companies ostensibly willing 10
make important additions to the subways Of
the city. not to mention another which wants
TO build a crosstown subway and belt line
elevated road. our former neighbor, The
Times" Is, nevertheless, not IN a happy state
Of mind over rapid transit prospects. 1t re-
verts gloomily to the Elsberg law of -unfortu-
nate memory and then remarks that the spirit
''of the Elsberg law survives in later enact
''ment whose effect is TO allow private capital
TO construct subways. but in compliance with
rules different from those under which enter
prise makes its ventures in any other field Of
activity But haven't the rules in compli-
ance with which private capital may furnish
public service always been different from those
under which enterprise makes It's ventures I'm
any other field of activity The promoter of a
street railway always has had TO obtain public
consent 10 his plans; the proprietor of a bake
shop or grocery has not.
Proof that the spirit Of the EIsberg law still
oppresses US THE Times" furnishes, as fol
lows:
This Is exemplifed in the glaring defects Of
the plans produced by the Public Service Com
mission for subways Those plans start
with the commission. not with those whose capi-
tai is 10 construct them.
But the Elsberg law is not responsible for
that system. The plans for the present subway
long before the passage Of the Esberg night
mare originated with a commission and not
with capitalists. Moreover the system is not
rigid. The plans for Mr.. McAdoos extensions
in New York originated with Dir. McAdoo and
not with the commission and the plans for
Mr. WiIgus's proposed belt line originated not

HERE TO WATCH THE HALF MOON.
Dutch Foreign Minister Arrives Before the
Henry Hudson Celebration Ship.

R. de Marees van Swinderen, Minister Of Foreign
Affairs Of the Netherlands an1 formerly Dutch
Minister TO the United states, arrived here yester-
day on the Holland-America liner Potsdam on A
visit OF six weeks to this country He said his
visit was partly social one and partly IN the in

the Half Moon, which the Netherlands is sending
to this country to be used in the Hudson Fulton

the states from federal aggression as well as 70
prevent them from trying to take advantage Of
one another. That state Of mind has now
largely disappeared. The country has become
nationslized. 1t fears no friction between the
states and the federal power. It has confidence
in its ability to work out new problems In gov
ernment as they arise. and no longer hesitates 10
substitute new methods for old if the former
promise Il real advance IN governmental eff
cheney.
Representative McCalTs speech on Monday
strikingIy illustrated the vanished point Of view
He talked about the unwisdom Of inviting the
poorer and smaller states to band together TO
pillage the larger and richer states. echoing the
fears which led the Constitutional Convention
to forbid the levying Of direct taxes eX-
cept IN proportion to population How the
small states are 10 band together and pillage
the large states is not clear. since the popula-
ton restriction will still hold good in the ap-
portionment of seats in the House of Repre-
sentatives and the most populous ten states now
cast a majority vote in that body. How are
the thirty-six smaller states going 10 outvote
and despoil their larger brethren? An income
tax cannot be laid unless the country very gen
orally desires 10 lay it The overwhelming vote
in the House in favor of submitting the direct
tax amendment proves that the old arguments of
distrust and suspicion have lost their weight.
Evidently no section Of the country now really
feels that It is in danger of being. oppressed by
the other sections If it surrenders TO Congress
the protection given to ii by the appOrtionment
restriction on the power Of direct taxation.
