MOTOR MAIL DELIVERY.
New York Experiment May Be Cen
orally Adopted.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Mail deliv-
cry by automobile, the first experiment
of the kind to be tried by the Post
Office Department, began in New York
at midnight tonight, when four high
power electric machines were placed
in commission in the upper part of
the city.
An extension of the service will de-
pend largely upon the success of the
present trial, although indications are
that the innovation will be successful,
inasmuch as Postmaster Morgan, OF
New York, has studied the question
carefully and is confident of the re-
suit.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, MAY Is. 1909

means Of trade and industry are to be trans
ferred to the control of organized labor. Inc
"syndicates" are thus not merely industrial OF
social but also political organizations, and tnelr
direct and supreme aim is political revolution
Their strength is considerable and is apparently
increasing In 1885. the year after the enact
ment of the law which permits their creation
there were only 221 Of them. In l9OS there
were 1924. Their membership has increased
from 1852 In $780, the first year in whlch a
census was taken, to 9571O2 in 1908 Even
these latter figures are however. small In con-
trast with the entire population OF France, anu
it is not to be supposed that all the members OF
the "svndicates'' approve the extreme doctrines
and aims of those bodies or will act with them
in a war against the republic The seriousness
OF the present situation lies in the character or
the occupations of the strikers. The men who
operate the railroads. posts, telegraphs and tele-
phones of the nation are able to do a vast
amount Of mischief particularly when their
methods comprise not only abstinence from
work but active Sabotage" which means ma
Iicious destruction of property. A simple re
belIion of a few hundred thousand men against
the republic might be a trifiing matter; but 1t
is n decidedly serious matter when those men
have it in their power to paralyze and perhaps
largely to destroy the nations systems of com
munication and transportation.

THE WAR WITH FRENCH "SYYDICATES."

THE WAR WITH FRENCH "SYNDICATES."
The fight is on in France, forced by the enc
mics of the republic, and it is well that its
origin, its methods and its aims shall be clearly
kept in mind, instead of being obscured or dis
tOrted by the specous and glib pretences which
are already being vOluminously put forth. Thus
one Citizen Pauron, former postman who
WAS dismissed from the service for the public
good, has been telling the striking postmen that
they are fighting for liberty Of opinion and
liberty of association" and that they must not
resume work until they have obtained the right
IL unite as a syndicate His words are a
shining example of combined suDprcSSiO Ucri
and SUGgcstiO fdIsi. The same is 10 be said Of
all the current pretences that the state EN-
p'oyes are striking for the abatement of abuses
or for the amelioration of conditions of labor, or
that their strike is similar in nature TO the in,
dustrial strikes with which this and other coun-
tries have long been familiar. The fact is that
it is in no valid sense an industrial strike at ALL
but an organized political conspiracy for the
overthrow of the government and the destruc-
ton Of the republic
On the very face of it il is Il strike against
law. since the law of the republic specifically
withholds from civil employees the right TO form
"syndicates" III connection with the General
Confederation of Labor. and because the law
also empowers the government to dissolve, expel
rimental 10 the public welfare. 1t is equally II
strike against reason and equity. Mr.. Bar
thou. the Minister of Public Works. made plain
on Tuesday. In private industries men have
the right 10 strike TO better their conditions,
since they have no assured tenure of place no
guarantee against stoppage of work, no assur
ance of promotion and no old age pensions. But
these government employees are sure Of all these
things, and that assurance reasonably imposes
upon them the obligation to be loyal to their
employer and to refrain from striking The de-
nial of their right TO strike is therefore OPP
preston, and neither is the denial of their right
TO form a syndicate 1t would not indeed,
be oppression even if the syndicate" were an
entirely loyal and inofensive thing But when
1t is considered what these "syndcates' really
are. that prohibition is seen to be not only
proper but necessary
For the practically undsguisel object of this
"syndcatsm,' which has become the fore
most feature Of the labor and socialist move
ment in France. is nothing less than revolution,
sudden and entire. The republic is to be over
thrown. Government is to be abolished All
governmental authority and all the material

JUDICIAL DETERHyATIOy NEEDED

The law that Governor Hughes has just
signed, which will vacate the interminable
refereeships in the franchise tax cases and
make possible a prompt hearing of them at
special terms of the Supreme Court, viii. it is
TO be hoped, result in a prompt judicial deter
mination by the highest court in the state Of
the rule by which franchise valuations should
be fixed. That is what is needed to clear up
the situation and put end to the present de
lays. AS it is now, the State Board of Taxa
tion assesses the franchises in accordance with
what rule no one seems to know. The cor
pOratiOns contest the fairness Of the valuations
Their objections go to referee and the referee
never reports. To judge from the number of
cases which have been given to individual ref
erees, they never can report on all of them and
never could have been expected to. One referee
has ffty-four cases, another thirty-seven and
another twenty-eight.
Meanwhile, before the new law has its effect
of expediting the progress of these. cases tow
ard the Court of Appeals, an interesting case
has already reached that tribunal which may
result in the establishment of a simple and
clear rule for the assessment of franchise valu-
ations. To the Jamaica Water Company case,
which has just been argued in Albany, we
have already called attention. In that case the
Appellate Division Of the Supreme Court held
that franchise assessments should be made ac-
cording 10 the met earnings rule This is to
the effect that of the net earnings per cent
on the value of the physical property Of pub
Tic service corporation should be regarded as
the earnings of the physical property, that the
remainder Of the net earnings, if any. should
be regarded as the earnings of the intangible
property, and that from these latter earnings
the value of the franchises should be caIcu-
lated. This method has simplicity and common
sense in its favor. The opinion of the Court
of Appeals regarding it will be awaited with
interest

as a matter of fact, upon only one company. ot
the three big companies, one last year wrote
only $50 262, ,101 of new business, and another
only S93 926 992 Thus both were more than
$50 100000 within the limit. The third wrote
S139 925,251 of new business and. 1t IS salu'
rejected much business for fear Of exceeding the
limit.
Much is made of the fact that in all three
companies the business in force decreased dur
ing the year. But certainly the hmtauoh oL
new business had nothing to do with that de-
cline in the case Of two Of the companies II
these two. which wrote about S90O00Gt0' had
written up To- the limit. their outstanding puSl-
ness would have been increased by about $40
100000 instead of declining about S14,OOo'OOO
in each instance. And in the case of all the
companies it is to be remembered that the &c
cline in outstanding business due TO financial
conditions was abnormal. Under normal IMAM
cial conditions, and with Saner methods or swell
ing totals of outstanding insurance, there VIII
probably be room for reasonable annual growth
for all the big companies with the $l?O,oo'o0o
limitation in force.
New-York tribune., 1909-05-13
THE INSURANCE AMENDMENTS.

The amendments TO the insurance law which
the Governor signed the other day alleviate some
of the rigOrs of the statute as 1t was passed. but
do not by any means let down the bars in the
way some of the insurance companies desired 10
have them let down. The most important
change is that affecting the limitation on the
cost of new business. The period during which
renewal commissions may be paid is extended
from nine 10 fourteen years. These commissions
are restricted TO > per cent annually during the
additional five years and 3 per cent, instead of
- per cent, may now be paid for collecting re-
newal premiums. Under this amendment com
panies can offer better terms TO agents. and
thus increase their business The change will
aid practically all the insurance companies Of
the state. for all but one are far below the an
nual limit for new business fixed by the statute
l. will be of especial benefit to the smaller COM
ing the big companies practically makes it the
states policy to give the smaller ones a chance
TO catch up.
Regarding the $150.0O0,000 limit upon new
business no change is made by the amendments
and the memorandum which the Governor filed
with them when he signed them shows that his
face is firmly set against any rela xaton in this
regard. The Governor says "a halt has been
called none too SOON" The vast accumulation
Of assets resulted. in his opinion, in abuses of
the sort which were plentifully revealed in the
Armstrong investigation. This Limitation presses,
