CHARTER RETINION.

The charter for New York City Just
introduced at Albany was prepared by
commission which owed its appointment
10 Republican Legislature. Therefore
We suppose Ii will not receive much at
tention from the present Democratic
LEGISLATURE Moreover. Mayor Gaynor IS
reported TO be engaged on charter re-
vision on his own account which Is an
other reason why this proposal is likely
10 be passed over. The commission
which has Just reported spent two years
on the subject. taking IL up when the
Wins commission, after two labOriOus
years. had failed 10 produce charter
which was acceptable 10 the public.
With regard TO most Of the controversial
nojnts i'm the Wins charter this commits
sion has been moderate and conciliatory.
The borough presidents are retained,
though they are deprived of their mem
bersbip in the Board Of Estimate and
Aunortionmpnt, other elected borough Oi-
n,.ials replacing them i'm that body. No
srch consolidation and Capitalization as
were attempted by the WINS commission
are now proposed.
one merit which the new charter has
in common with the Wins charter, and
nrobably in higher decree than the
latter. Is the simplificatiOn and orderly
arrangement of the statutory provisions
affecting the city. The contradictory,
the redundant and the obsolete are SAID
70 be thoroughly edited out of the in
etrument. The present commission in
This respect is said to lave followed the
,,l.n of the commission which prepared
tho consolidated statutes passed two
,oars 400 by thc LEGISLATURE. Whenever
The Legislature reaches the point OF actli-
ollie passinz a new charter for this city

CONSERVATION AND DEVELOP
NEWT

Commissioner Herbert Knox Smiths
report Oh the lumber industry OF the
country, furnishes partial answer TO
those who object that conservation Is
blocking the development Of the nations
resources. The other system did not In
evitably result In their development, Dut
often in their being held for the future
when their value should increase. case
in point is furnished by the I9o,OO0 acre
tract eliminated from the Olympic ma
tional forest ION the ground that 1t was
valuable for agricultural purposes and
"that the settlement Of the country was
"beinp retarded" Most Of It passed III
timately into the hands Of owners who
are holding it purely as a timber specu-
lation." That is 10 say, II the property
was valuable for agriculture this pri-
yate ownership is retarding its settle
ment almost as much as conservation
did. and II it Is really chiefly valuable
as timber land private ownership is
holding back its development as much
as the federal government would hare
done by its forest conservation policy.
II Is n mistake 10 suppose that the
passing into private hands OF the natu'
raj resources now being conserved by
the United states would mean their
prompt development. Many OF them
would he held OH speculation To await
scarcity value. Many would pass Into
the hands Of monopolies. already on
gagged in limiting output and compeiled
10 acquire these new fields in order to
prevent their development. Many would
become n mere reserve supply OF lhuus-
tries active elsewhere, 10 he opened only
when necessary to those industries
Conservation blocks the private appro-
priation Of natural resources. but 1t Is
by no means the only thing that blocks
their development. Indeed, with proper
laws. II may be made TO insure their
development. for the government iands
should he leased only TO companies ooh'
gated 10 work them promptly

An INDEFENSIBLE BILL.

The Senate Committee on Pensions has
reported the Sulloway pension bill, win
an immaterial amendment, thus aiding
the progress of n measure which ought
not to be passed at this or any other ses-
sion. The amendment reduces the maxi
mum monthly rate to be paid to veterans
seventy-fiye years old or more from $50
to $50. and would thus slightly decrease
the extra annual charge imposed by thc
bill. which would, however. still exceed
$40 600 900. Such an increase is unJusu-
fable in view of the sum already de-
voted TO pensions, which for 1902 10 was
S16O eO9. 600 and for 19l0F1l S1oo.IoS'-
Oo0 and which will be about S153.WooVo
for 19l1.12. The Sulloway Dill, IL " pe'
comes n law, will necessltate new TAXA
tion. but Congress. instead of providing
means To meet new annual ooli9auoii
Of more than S4O.OO0OOO, seems disposed
n vote the money away first and con
slider plans for raising it afterward, or
not at all An addition of S40,oOo,ooo 10
the Treasury's annual outlay Wouiu
more than wipe out the savings made py
the Taft administration through many
nraiseworthv economies. The President
has earnestly labored 10 check the eA-
mansion Of federal expenditure, ana mas
succeeded in holding the appropriations
Of this Congress within reasonaD Die
bounds. But all that effort would he
nullined if the pension account should
be suddenly enlarged from Slo@'ocO'ovo
to nearly S2o0, 100000. $50,
The sum carried 10y the Sulloway pili
is excessive and beyond the nation
means at present. Moreover, the theol9
cn which the measure is constructed Is
faultv If any increase in pension allow
ances is to he made, its dement's shouio,
90 to the worthiest--the men who served
longest and were subjected TO the great
est dangers and prlvations. Those VINO
enlisted for Il year or longer ana those
who were made prisoners should be put
in q different class from the ninety-day
men. many Of whom meyer saw the troht
and endured no hardships whatsoever. IL
vould be more reasonable TO continue
the present allowances on the nlnety-da!
hosis and make additional allowances
for special classes Of pensioners. accord
ing TO the character of their service. The
men who really fought and suffered do
not want to be Jumped in one class with
tbe three months levies called out for
an emergency and serving only in the
second line.
The country is entirely willing to re-
warI the veterans in accordance with
their deserts. but il is not willing tc
sanction any more dragnet and omnibus
pension legislation.
New-York tribune., 1911-02-16
CLEAN STREETS

Now that the Board Of Estimate and
sioner Edwards's urging and ordered
the purchase of high pressure flushing
machines il is not unreasonable 10 ex-
pect that in the not distant future the
city will have clean Ctreets Present
methods Of removing dirt are antiquated.
The necessity OF using water to clean
the streets has all along been obvious.
Every housewife knows that sweeping Il
floor will not make it aa clean as scrub
bing it will. and it has been necessary
only to compare the appearance Of one
of the streets after the street sweepers
had passed through it with its appear
ance after q heavy shower 10 see what
has been required.
To the use Of water two objections
have always been raised: First, that the
supply was inadequate and second that
the sewers would not carry away the dirt
of the streets. The present plan Obvi-
ates both of these difficulties. The high
pressure machines will require only a
small fraction of the water necessary 10
flush the streets with hose, and the flush
ing will be done only to remove that
residue Of dirt which sweeping and
scraping will not remove consequently
no coarse filth will enter the sewers.
Under the new system, with reasonable
cooperation on the part of the public
regarding paper and rubbish, the streets
may be really clean.

that may have been an afterthought.

THE POST ROAD FIGHT AGAIN.

THE POST ROAD FIGHT AGAIN.
The attempt TO put trolley railroad
on the Albany Post Road through Irving
ton Dobbs Ferry and 1arrytown Is
bqirp made again, as it has been almost
every year for many years, aud is again
being vigorously resisted by the resi-
dents and property owners along mat
fine and famous thOroughfare. The same
cid arguments are being employed on
both sides. and they will probably be
periodically revamped until In some way
perhaps FAR on in summers lhat we
shall not see" the matter is finally set
tied.
Meantime. we repeat again the opin-
ion which we have often expressed. tlat
the post road should not be invaded by
trolley line and that such invasion, II

il will be-would be piece Of vandai-
ism an injustice 10 the residents ana
property owners along the road and NOT

the communities affected.
II would he vandalism because it
would inevitably involve the mutilation
if not the wholesale destruction or the
| fine trees which now embower the road.
! II is for much Of the way narrow road,
, lined with oyerarching trees, which con-
sttute much Of its attractiyeness. If a
trolley line were built these trees would

4 Happened in the northern part of Non-
kcrs gives ample warning Of what would
happen on the post road
1t would be an injustice to the people
whose estates border that road thus 10
destroy its beauty and transform Its
character. They established themselves
| there and developed fine estates on the
express understanding that the road
was to remain n parkway and not be
converted into railroad track. To re-
pudlate that understanding would be
much like moral breach OF contract II

other rOutc-if necessary, along some
new street which should he created for
the purpose. II seems 10 ms absurd 10
contend that all traffic of all kinds
