STATE EXPENDITURES.

From The Rochester Post-Express.
In speech to his new friends in Roch-
ester Chairman Dix of the Democra tic
State Committee said there has been an in
crease in state expenditures from fifteen
millions under Governor Flower in 1894 to
forty millions under Governor Hughes in
1910. and he arraigned the Republican party
for extravaganza that has permeated
every department of the state govern
ment.' The expenditures for state
care of the insane have increased from
nothing to more than six millions year
Would the Democrats. if in power. send the
insane hack TO the loathsome dens that the
counties formerly provided? There has
been an increase of more than two millions
in the expenditures for the common schools
Would the Democrats cut down the amount
to the four millions expended under Flow
Ell? When the latter was Governor the to-
tai assessed valuation of property i'll this
state was a little more than four billions
OF dOllarS. the total is now ten billions
Can ii he expected that there will be no
increase in expenditures when property has
considerably more than doubled in value2
The population of the state has almost
doubled. is 1t fair TO say that there should
be no increase in expenditure? What spe-
Cic expenditures are the Democrats kick
ing about? Why not get down TO business
and drop the Glittering generalities?

WAITING FOR BIDS.

Once again New York has reached the
point where it is asking for bids upon a
nev subway system. The last time II
did so was about three years ago. At
that time the air was full of talk Of sub
ways and the blue print maps were tull
of prospective lines. The metropolitan
traction interests. with the generosity
of approaching bankruptcy. had beeh
offering to build lines everywhere ana
anywhere, with free transfers TO every
place under the sun The Interhorough
group. less prodigal than its rival, WAS
still talking magnificent extensions to
its system. The plans for the new sub
WAYS. which covered in a large part the
route of the Observation-Disclosures ave
nue. line, were laid out with such Al
ternatiyes as to suit the purposes Of
either the InterbOrough company or OF
capitalists seeking to build an indie
pendent system. These two interests
then amalgamated. and when the day
came for the bids 10 be opened there
were no bids to be opened. There was,
of course. the customary excuse from
the InterborouGh Rapid Transit Com
pany. and there was its customary offer
to do something else that no one would
let it do. Independent private capital
was not interested. and the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company saw more profit
in making all the people ride on one line
than in providing two for them to ride
on The city at that time was powerless
to begin construction on its own ac-
count.
And that is the main difference be-
tween the situation to-day and that
three years ago. The Interborough com
pany evidently still inclines to stand
pat" while its patrons stand on each
other for lack of room. The prospect of
other capital interesting itself in the
building of an independent system is not
particularly brilliant. though il cannot
be said 10 he entirely wanting. But the
city has the credit TO begin about half
the great system laid out, and in two or
three years will be able to take up the
rest of the plan. We hope that private
capital will be found ready to assume
the risks Of the venture. for that is the
best and most businesslike arrangement.
But If it is not. the city must undertake
the work itself.

ONE VIEW OF THE MATTER.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Has Mr.. Roosevelt's> latter day
stop thief" set aIl the honest people to
Logging along in the chase with quite the
energy of other days? Are not even some
rabid Rooseveltians dimly conscious that
the crook whom the mighty African
hunter is charging up one street and
down another is the second highest Off
cial of the United States of America?
Have the more sane admirers of the ex-
President lost all recollection of the hot
sense of Shame which filled their hearts
al the terms of insult and words of out
rage which We're applied to another Vice
President of this nation Just before the
assassin's bullet lifted him into the Presi-
dency? Can any tuppenny political con-
troverSy as to the way in which nominal
tiOns shall be made justify a former Pres
ident of our great nation in seeking to
cast shame on his successor in a great
office? DECENCY

to win over to the "old guard" some OF
The New York County district leaders
and that be is planning TO make CON
test in the primaries against some OF MT
GriScom'S followers should lead the Pro
greSSives to renew their determination
to carry on Il fight AT the primaries IN
the counties throughout the state now
controlled by the "old guard 1t is PLAIN
to visitors al the state committee head
qua rters that whatever the other bosses
are doing Mr.. Barnes is working He
does not intend that this contest shall
60 hv default All the skill and deter
mina1ion which have made the Barnes
machine in Albany the nearest approach
10 Tammany Hall in the state are concen-
trated upon the task of eiect1ng reac-
tinnary delegates TO the state conven-
tion. Though the PrOgressiveS have the
advantage of an active public sentiment
I'M their favor. il will not do TO rely upon
that Mr.. Barnes must he fought in his
own way and the war must he carried
vigorously into the "old guard" territory.
Another reason why the "old guard
machines should he attacked in the pri-
maries is that only through such prI-
mary fights can the complexion of the
state committee be greatly changed. 1t
would be easily possible TO elect ma
ioritv of the delegates TO the state con-
vention favorabl TO the Taft-Roosevelt-
Hughes wing of the party by winning
over scattered counties in Congress dis
tricts now represented on the state COM
mitfpp hy members of the .'old guard

tie state committee. For example. two
of the five counties in the WadsWorth
district might elect Roosevelt dele
rates. Vet in the new state commit
tee the district would still be represented
i:y a WadSworth man. The same thing
is true in "A large part of the state. The
state convention should not be the only
objective point II the coming contest,
but the aim should he 10 win also a good
ma iority of the places in the state COM
mittee.
Moreover. an aggressive fight upon the
members of the "od guard" within their
own territory will keep their hands so
full at home, that they can accomplish
little elsewhere Within all the counties
where the machine is strongest disSatlS-
faction exists, and forceful leadership
making the most of the moral issue
xhich the present situation presents can
shake the power of the most famous of
the ''old guardsmen. EX-Assemblyman
Hart. in Oneida County, has shown what
can be done. for in that territory the
machine is i'll fear ef defeat.

THE WELFARE OF LABOR
CORRESPONDENT Offers Suggestions for
Establishment of Industrial Peace.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS Sunday, September 4, is devoted
to the workingman and his welfare ana
one hundred and twenty-five thousahu
Protestant ministers are likely TO preacA
labor sermons on that day, it may not oe
amiss to remind these ministers that In the
cause of justice. humanity and the square
deal they have a good text to speak from
in the late strike of sixty thousand SIX
hundred cloakmakers-
For in this fateful contest all the under-
living demands and principles OF action IN
the contention of the trade unionlsts nave
been clearly brought to the front, and as a
result Justice Goff has decided that
strike which demands the closed shop is
conspiracy in restraint of trade, and there
fore Illegal. If 1t is against the pubic
nolicy of the state, as the Court of Ap-
apeals has decided. for employers VINO
control practically the whole trade In a
community to combine for the purpose OF
compelling workmen TO JOIN particu'di
union as a condition of employment so
also must this law apply as we'll TO WORK
men.
Now Is it.not honest for us TO conclude
that tyranny of labor is as unjustilable
and disastrous as tyranny of capital! LOOK
at the last strike in Philadelphia. the cost
of which to employer, employe ana the
long suffering public altogether foots UP
over SIS 600 600 And has it paid DO strikes
in the long run pay. anyway, and is there
not a better way out of this continual war
fare of the two giants, capital and LABOR!
Why may not our ministers come out hrn1-
fy in favor of either a proper government
surveillance over labor combinations, as
we'll as those of railroads or manufact-
urers. or the establishing of a properly
organized board of industrial conciliation
and arbitration. the arbitration to be COM
pusory and not voluntary?
Such strikes as we had frequently of
late would not have been needed or per-
mtted in New Zealand. for there they have
such board as 7 refer to, and 1t consists
Of six Judges, three elected by wage earn
ers and three by employers, while the pres
ident IS appointed by the government. The
board deals with every kind of Industrial
dispute, all questions of wages, hours OF
la bor unemployment and obtaining of sani-
tary and low priced homes for working men
and women. Labor unions themselves In
New Zealand to-day Concede that this hui
name Just and most practical system has
greatly bettered labor conditions. and,
above all else, has made the tenure of en-
plOyment more secure. and this Is what our
wage earners need more than all else.
Let our preachers remember all this on
Labor Sunday and speak against class war
fare and In behalf of a new social 600
nomic declaration. not Of independence, but
OF interdependence, as between capital and
labor. JOSIAH c. PUMPELLY.

longer fears being itself 'overshad-
owed" The Eagles census experts can
easily figure out Manhattan's eclipse by

manifest destiny is being blown in

"the fulfilment of her manifest destiny
"as the imperial borough of the imperial
"city of New York says The Eagle"
with pardOnable cOmplacency and pride.
1t is pleasant TO witness the dissipa-
tion of Brooklyn's ancient fears. There
was d time when the dreams of every
good citizen of Kings County were dis
turbed by visions of an alien domination
from across the bridge. which would sac
rifice Brooklyn's interests TO the interests
of Manhattan. Now the nights are calm
and peaceful. The dread oppressor is no
longer dreaded but merely patronized,
Autonomy was good cry in Its day,
