STEPPING OFF.

Mr.. Dix's attitude toward the Public
Service commissions is a good deal
like Mr.. Chanler's attitude two years
ago toward the anti-racetrack gambling
Jaws. Mr.. Chanler started out in 1903
with word of hope for those who
wanted the special privilege Of gambling
III the racetracks restored. The gamblers
all looked 10 him as their deliverer
from the prosecutions Of Governor
Hughes. When he got on the stump up
the state he found that the Odium Of
his raoetrack support WAS TOO heavy Il
handicap to carry. and after lodging
The question for week or two he came
out with u statement that, If elected,
he would not sign a new Percy-Gray
bill.
Mr.. Dix has similarly travelled all
around the circle on the issue of abol-
fishing the Public Service commissions.

Mr. Dix said after his nomination for
Governor that as regards the Public Ser

cratic platform. and he repeated the

THE oRINocO ARBITRATION.

Judgments come quickly at The
Hague, annulling the old practice under
which an arbitral case was sometimes
taken under adyisement for months
after the hearings before the verdict
was rendered. Only the other day Il
highly satisfactory determination was
reached in short order of case which
had been matter Of contention for
nearly Il century and which was pecul-
iarIy complicated and controversial.
Following that the court took up another
vexatious dispute, this time between
Venezuela and the United States, and
now the verdict is made public The
whole period of the adjudication has
been shorter than has been occupied here
in obtaining a jury in a murder trial, to
say nothing Of the trial itself.
The award which is made 10y the court
in this case is much less than the
amount which was originally claimed by
the American plaintiffs. Also il is n
great deal more than the sum named by
an umpire i'm a former personal arbitra-
ton. which the United States declined 30
dfceDl. Inc presumption u lldL III Is q
just award, or as nearly just as a com
pany Of intelligent and impartial iurists
could make In such case, involving
the reputation Of a contract and the
suffering Of both actual and speculative
losses, il is not easy to determine with
convincing accuracy precisely what sum
should he granted to the plaintiffs. But
this verdict will probably he accepted
without hesitation by both parties.
The case is noteworthy for a reason

PERSONALITIES.

1t is a source of regret to observe that
nv opponent has seen fit to make TINS
largely a campaign of personalities IN
stead of a temperate and reasoned dis
cusSiOn OF the, issues before the people,
Mr.. Dix's Buffalo speech.
"Huppuchrisy''. Who pitched the

Mr.. Stimson took the stump and before
Colonel Roosevelt began to speak Mr.
Dix had called former President of
the United States an apostle of discord
and dissension' and IAN agent of de-

And true TO this beginning this dep
recator of personalities devotes four
ffths of his Buffalo speech to personal
abuse! Even Judge Parker's fantastic
statements about Mr. StimSOn'S fees
serve the purpose of Mr.. Dix. Judge
Parker appears to have been ashamed
TO repeat his charges after they were
promptly met 10y the Republican candi-
date. Not so Mr.. Dix. In his desperate
desire to escape the necessity of break
ing the silence regarding the rea, issues
of the campaign imposed by Murphy he
tries to create the impression that the
great and genuine public service per-
formed by the prosecutor of the sugar
Trust was q mere piece of fee grabbing,
and he does so in face of the facts clear

by his desire to see the tariff on wall

A QUESTION OF cANDoR.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Apropos of Judge Parkers criticism
OF Mr.. Stimson's fees and general course
OF personal conduct with reference to the
United States government cases 1 ask, If
Judge Parker met Mr. Stimson, say, at
the Lawyers Club, and was invited into
discussion of this matter. would he not
take precisely the opposite position? And.
furthermore. as man experienced in large
legal matters. if he were in the position
of Attorney General Wickersham, is it
possible that he could have or would have
offered anything less?
Well. then, is political campaign an ex-
cuse for putting aside that sense of candor
which obtains between man and man. law
yer and lawyer. on other occasions?

DIRTY TAX BILL RECEIPTS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I have just seen several of the re-
ceipted tax bills which are now being
issued by the Controllers office in this city
They are dirty, and when two or three are
put together the carbon strips on the back
rub so that the names and amounts be-
come blurred and almost illegible. Unless
these hills are handled with exceeding care
the smudge comes off on ones fingers.
The memorandum notices sent cut in an
swer to a request for tax bills were of the
same general type as the receipted bill and
could scarcely be read. This work was con-
tracted out to d private company. II would
be interesting to know the exact net saving
to the city through this probably patented
scheme.
There may be some saving in issuing tax
bills of this kind, but there is such a thing
as paying too much attention to-cheapness
and too little to the rights OF the individ-
uals with whom the city deals. business
concern which would send it's customers
such looking bills as these would be consid-
cred so parsimonious not to merit fur
Their patronage.
In another and important respect these
tax bills are decided step backward The
old bills showed on the back the tax rates
and the budget appropriations itemized by
departments. This information is omitted
from the present bills. Other localities are
by degrees adopting the policy of printing
budget and tax rates on the tax bills.
have on file bills from little towns and
country districts that give this information,
and. besides, are clean and legibla. II is
curious sort of reform to have this city
abandon that method of giving publicity to
its budget just at a time when it has spent
$4,000 on budget exhibit, largely In the
nature of a museum. and In which the hard
facts OF city finances received little atten-
