CITY FINANCE
Continued from flrst page

curitv of taxes levied that could not be
collected Instead OF facing the sltua-
ton. an effort was made to cover up
the facts,
THE practice Of dumping the receipts
of the city treasury into common tuna
out of which payments We're hlaoe
without regard to the SPECIFIC purposes
for which the money was received mas
resulted in the misuse Of corporate STOCK
proceeds and the depletion Of other
funds to pay off portion of the tenn
7,orary debt incurred upon budget ac-
count IN excess of co1lectible taxes. NO
attempt has been made in the ofnclal
reports to show the true balance OF the
city's ACCOUNTS, for the reason that any
sueh attempt would disclose the pur-
noses for which this money had been
used.
.'StiII even this diversion did not SUI
flee to keep the temporary debt within
reasona BILE bounds, and IN 1906 the city
was compelled to authorize the issue
of $50 100000 of corporate stock TO re-
coup the treasury for that amount III
taxes levied prior TO 1905 that could not
be collected Instead Of issuing this
corporate stock and thus bringing us
revenue bond debt within the legal limit
the last administration allowed matters
10 drift. with the result that the city
has since that time been issuing revenue
bonds against taxes which have been
declared uncoIIectible and have been
rrovided for by an authorization of cor
clearly pointed out in the series of ar
ticIes published in The Tribune upon
Hidden Chapters in City Finance
These are the facts as I understand
them The sooner the situation IS
souarely and honestly faced, the better.
The temporary debt should at once be
reduced TO its proper proportions by the
redemption of bonds which are at pres
ent outstanding against taxes that cam
not be collected. A gradual process Of
refunding TO corporate stock and other
funds of the money taken from them
should be begun, in order 70 restore
the proper balance of accounts. A clear
and accurate statement IF the facts
made bv the Controller would clear the
atmosphere. The city's credit would
benefit Immediately.
PROSPECT OF REMEDY.
There is every reason to believe that
This course will be followed by the pres
ent administration. The Mayor and the
other members of the Board of Estimate
have already shown Z strong disposition
to economize in expenditures. The Con-
troller seems to be fully alive 10 the
great opportunity his position offers or
putting the city's finances upon sound
business basis. I trust that before long
ne will be able TO take the public into
his confidence and frankly state the
facts. This would mean more than halE

hearty support OF the public in his eff

COLLEGE DIVERSIONS.

Football gets a hard drubbing from
Prof. John ]. Stevenson of New York
university, who contributes an article
to The Popular Science Monthly on
college Diversions" It is made clear
by the writer that the modern tendency
is to regard the professor and his lee
lures as 9 mere diversion which is
tolerable only where there Is no foot
bah game or other great athletic con-
test on hand.
It is intimated by Professor Steven
son that the present system has rele-
gated study to the background and
made the college work merely an an
mex to public exhibitions" This sounds
very much like some statements Presi-
dent woodrow Wilson Of Princeton
made a short time ago. 1t also resem-
.bles decidedly many of the public ut
terances of President Nicholas Murray
Butler who has succeeded in running
Columbia university very well without
football. in spite of the predictions that
the institution on Morningside Heights
would go out Of business when the no.
football rule went into effect.
But as long as football does not de-
velop enemies who offer a better sub
stitute than Professor Stevenson, 1t is
in little danger. He advocates COM
pulsory physical training for ell stu
dents. This is a safe suggestion. Ev-
erybody advocates physical training,
in which there will be general enough
interest to make It attractive and eff
fective. Professor Stevenson also fav-
ors singing and chess playing. There is
little difficulty in inducing most stu
dents to make a noise which they call
singing, especially after midnight. But
many would like to see Professor
Stevenson choke a chess game down
any sure enough student who had life
enough left to keep out of the in
Urinary.
AS supplier Of college diversions, {"
Professor Stevenson is voted a place at
the foot Of the class.

DR.. WI ON AMERICA.

The retiring Chinese Minister Or. WI
(there are other names which belong
but American people paid him the COM
pliment Of being affectionately brief,
and DR.. WI will serve every purpose),
was always a secretive, inquiring man
while he remained in the United States,
but on the eve Of his departure from
New York the expressed himself rather
pointedly.
He did not employ many words, but
he said quite a bit. tn be back here

1 won't. The trouble win be with you.
not with me. And your trouble-the
trouble Of Americans-toO hasty eating
and too little attention to the proper
mode OF living and many other things"
Or. WI would better have come to
fun stop after the word living"
There is something lame about and
many other things" II Americans are
to be blamed. they have a right to
know what they are being blamed for
But the Chinese have never been very
strong on the art of expression, though
it Is true that CONTIGUOUS was occasion
ally right explanatory. But in recent
centuries they have not written or talk
ed fiuently. probably because Of the fact
that If they had all learned how to talk.
there would have been too much Of 1t.
while if they had taken to writing, the
earth would have entirely numbered
with books.
Americans can only take up those
sections of the indictment which are
complete, and it must be said that they
had a right to expect something more
original than the assertion that they
eat too hastily. Americans do eat hast
lily, but II the Chinese had pie and
doughnuts instead OF bird nest soup
and sea horses. they might be a little
eager over their viands themselves.
Too little attention to the proper
mode Of hving"-here one cheerfulIy
takes notice. But one must dissent
from DR.. WI II he believes that Amer
ica's mode Of living is, on the whole,
a bad one. Americans live hurriedly,

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

All over the country there is a wide
spreading realization OF the fact that
the most vital. immediate problem that
demands solution is that of the unpar-
alleled high prices OF the necessities OF
life.
Among the numerous causes that are
cited as having brought about very
serious state of affairs, 1t may be safe
~ assumed that the principal ones are:
The great increase in the supply of
gold, the natural working of the laws
of supply and demand, and the evil
force of monopolistic greed. The flood
Of gold continues year by year, and as
is is practically the basis OF all cur
rency, its decreasing value because of
increasing supply. can be expressed
only in the approaching prices OF these
articles which il buys. There is no
Immediate likelihood Of any decrease
In the gold supply. and this fact must
therefore be taken as a permanent fact
or in the case.
The laws OF supply and demand
work automatically, and the demand for
better and more generous supply Of all
the necessities of life has increased
out of all proportion to the increase
In production during the past ten
years.
In this rnupf,-v- asro,,otI,- - a., -,

subsistence. Added to this there has

sumner. as well as his wants and needs
To this extent 1t has been an ad-
