THE REASON

About the most frequent query
heard these days is why are the
Republican papers fighting certain
Republican candidates." The reason
mas been most satisfactorily explain
ed by the fact that these certain
candidates are running on a plat
form strictly against railroad and
other corporate political power in
THIS state and the Republican papers
are SO owned and controlled ~
the railroads that they dare not
work even for their own party men,
and some of them are SO tied-up by
this corporate power that they have
openly stated that they will work for
a Democrat in preference to a Re-
publican in case any OF these non
corporate Republican candidates Sc
cure the nomination.
There you have the reason.

PRIMARY

One effect of the new Primary
Law has been to awaken more than
usual interest in the selection OF can
didatcs or all political parties. I'm
der the old rule of convention the
candidates were selected and accept
cd. During the past two months or
the selection OF men to represent the
people by the people mas called forth
more campaign literature and o
strenuous efforts on the part of can
didates than the regular conventions
in ten years stirred up.
A public meeting such as was wit
messed last evening is only one OF
the evidences OF political interest
that has been manifested. Nearly
every town in this state has been Wis
tied by speakers of both political
parties. That both parties are put
ting forth the best OF material there
is no denying. The men VINO have
taken the insurgent road are evi
IDENTIFY honest in their beliefs and are
putting up some argument that has
caused many a voter to stop and
think. This condition of affairs has
only been possible through the Pri
mary Law.
That the law will need amend
ments every voter and candidate
comedies, but the principal OF pub
licity will remain intact. Early mex,
week the first battle will be over and
the results of the Primary election
will tell several political stories. AT
ter the clearing OF the smoke the
real candidates of the people will be
left and a battle royal can be waged
with the best material of both par
ties in the field. 1t will be a test OH
merits and all the newspaper abuse
that has gone out will be a dead let.
ter as will be the disgruntled and
defeated candidate.

EFrom The Tribune Bureau ]


Washington, Feb. 9.-The House to-day
passed Representative McCalrS bill author
izing the President 10 appoint National
Commission on Fine Arts. which shall be
consulted on all projects requiring artistic
Judgment undertaken by the government.
The usual opposition To the efforts OF
those interested in the erection of artistic
public buildings and memorials and monu-
ments Of merit was encountered by the ad-
vocates of the bill and for a time II looked
though it would fail. Representatives
Mccall, Cooper. of Wisconsin. Olcott, Of
New York. and others made strong
speeches in its support and turned the tide.
With one or two minor amendments. the
bill was passed by Il large majority 1t
provides that seven artists OF national
reputation shall constitute the commission
and that all their expenses shall be paid.
The House also passed bill providing
that q replica of the Baron Won Steuben
statue be presented to Emperor William

TRANSIT PLANS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Shonts and the Interborough-
Metropolitan crowd are ready to do bust
ness, and their greatest desire is TO turn
over the bankrupt Metropolitan system to
the city. They expect to convince the
Board of Estimate and the Public Service
Commission that it is their duty to en-
courage municipal ownership of street rail-
ways, and with that end in view the city
should take over the Metropolitan Street
Railway and operate the same-of course,
at a price that would put some more mill
ions in the pockets of those who heretofore
looted the company.
Originally the plan was to bring about
q partnership with the city. Now they
hope to turn the entire bankrupt system
over to the city for operation.
The Public Service Commission should
entirely ignore the Interborough-M etropoli-
tan company, prepare plans and advertise
for bidders thereon. treating the INTERIOR
ough company in the same manner as all
other bidders. They are not entitled TO a
preference of any kind.

WoMAN'S REFERENDUM.
ditnr of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: How much blood and money might
have been saved fifty years ago had man
of Brackets statesmanlike mind been liv-
ing to propose a plebiscite of the slaves
on slavery, I have not shadow of doubt
that such a referendum. even in the alb
sence of physical coercion. would have re-
shifted in only a small vote in favor OF the
abolition of slavery-in favor OF taking
from the negro the protection of his owner
and of Duttine on himself the burden of his
own support.
But would such a referendum have set
tied the question of slavery, even If every
slave had voted for its continuance? Shade
of Garrison, answer!
No; on the contrary. it would. as 1t
should have nerved him and every other
lover of freedom to greater efforts, as prov
ing bv the degradation of its victims, from
whom it had taken away even the desire
of liberty the vileness of the slave system.
So a wonan's referendum to-day, while,
with profound regret l believe 1t would
show an almost total Indifference to and
acuuiescence in their present status OF III
ferioritv and exclusion, would settle moth
ing. It would only emphasize the dwarf
ing and benumbing effect which their state
of pupilage has had on the female mind
lust as liberty is the inalienable right
of every human being-a right once scofed
at and denied. but now so zeaiously guard
ed that to-day no man could legally divest
himself of it-so participation in the gov
ernment of the political state is the natu-
raj right of every person born therein.

PERSONAL TAXES.

Nlayor Gaynor has gone about II II
the Droper WAY to show the deSlraDlllty
of abOlishing personal taxes. The ngureS
which he asks from President Purdy of
the Tax Board will prove that these
taxes make only a small contribution /"
the city's revenue. In 1909 the coliec-
lions of personal taxes amounted TO 50
10000, while the city raised ABOUT
500. 100000 by taxation of real estate.
Thus it is a mere driblet in the Strean
of municipal revenue.
The administration of the tax on per-
sonalty is grotesQue, as the Mayor says.
The tax has been tested for many years,
and its results have everywhere been
unsatisfactory. The great bulk Of per
sonal property escapes taxation. only
estates in the hands Of the courts are eX-
posed to the view of the tax collector,
anC upon these he pounces. In It's april
cation the tax is thus grossly unjust. The
attempts of the tax boards to find per
soDai property other than that disclosed
t0 them in the surogateS' courts are
ludicrously futile. Names are taken
from the city directory which from
residence, occupation or otherwise sug-
gest the possible possession of property.
Opposite them upon the tax rolls are set
amounts of personal property-S10,oOo
SD 600 or $4,000, as the case may be
and the persons thus assessed are in
formed Of the assessment Most of them
visit the Tax Commissioners in a few
DAYS and swear off, their assessments.
Some of them have so little property or
expectation Of it that they do not regard
the formality Of swearing off as neceS-
sary. Still other propertyless persons on
the personally rolls. 10y reason of a
change of address or otherwise never
receive notice of assessment, and the
taxes against their names 90 t. swell the
total Of uncoIlected and uncoIlectble
personal taxes.
The amount of these uncollected taxes
last year was about $3.50O.0G and that
deficit was nothing unusual, for the city
has never been able to collect more than
about one-half the personal taxes ii has
levied The result of this annual deficit
III the collection of taxes has been shown
in The Tribune's articles on the disor-
dercu coiultloH ol me city HnanceS-
The inability of the city to collect the
taxes on personally more than anything
else has been responsible for its enor-
nous floating debt, the annual cost of
carrying which has now grown to more
than $6,000.000 The reduction of this
debt to proper limits and careful restric-
