EoRsAKING CAUCUS RULE.

To the Editor OF The Tri uns.
Sir: 7 have read with much pleasure IN
vour columns more than one letter urging
that in the present crisis Republicans IN
the Legislature should Join with the better
class of Democrats TO send 10 the Senate
a worthy representative Of the great state
of New York. Surely 50 worthy All OBJECT
must commend itself to every thoughtfui
and patriotic citizen.
The objection raised at once is that thls
would be breaking away from the rule OF
the caucus, but at such a crisis as the
present is not this the very thing to be de-
sired? 1t Is sufficient to say that the rule
OF the caucus is very dear to the heart ot
Mr.. Murphy. II Is his stock in trade. HIS
pure and patriotic soul revolts bitterly
from the thought Of flinging over the eau
Gus. The whole matter is a choice between
Murphy. Grady and that sort and the vel
fare of the Empire State.
Cannot the Republicans and insurgents
Of the Legislature be persuaded to aban-
don their childish course and choose
man for Senator? T.

A FARMERS VIEW OF RECIPROCITY

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The letter printed in your issue OF
February Il under the caption "A Reel
rrocitv Forecast" says in effect that the
New York state Grange was "laboring un-
der misapprehension' when 1t placed
itself on record as opposed to the present
reciprocity agreement with Canada. Pos
slblv all NJ the farmers and farmers or
Plantations who oppose this bill are de-
lided but they seem TO object 10 playing
the part OF the goat in the sacrifice to the
new god--hgh cost Of living.
Though we wonder why this should be, 1t
is probably arrived at by reversing Unto
him that hath shall be given" so that.
having had little or no protection, what We
have shall be taken away. As a matter of
fact. the New York State Grange did not
oppose reciprocity in itself but does oppose
a trade agreement that puts the burden
entirely upon the farmer. To allow free
entry Of raw materials and retain a duty
on the finished product does not look to
us like an honest effort to help the con-
sumer and We can't help asking why We
should be the only ones TO contribute 20
the cause OF cheaper living.

MISUNDERSTANDING Ihb wv
ERNOR.

EPNOR.
Governor Dix complains that his plans
with respect to highways have oeen ms.
understood. The New York Times
quotes him thus:
Il seoms that the impression has been
given that. under my plan tne Supe. s.a' ~ .
fendent Of Public Works and the Stdte
Engineer would have the letting ol con
tracts on highways. AS a matter Oh ldC''
my intention is that the proposed ttleh-
yyay Commission shall he entirely re-
sponsible and have complete charse ol
this branch Of the work. as well as ,he
other matters of administrator tle
functions OF the Superintendent o' tup-
lie Works and the State Engineer oel"s
advisory.
If the Governor has been misunder-
stood it is the fault of his own message
ON this subject to the Legislature. Last
Thursday he wrote:
Upon the foregoing principles II is evil
dent that the state Engineer ana super
intendent Of Public Works =
should be members of the STATE tigh-
wav Commission. and that the only other
member needed 10 complete an efllclent
commission would be the executive head
He might well he designated state SUI
perintendent OF Highways. he
should he charged with the designation
of routes and the preparation OF plans
and specifications 10 be submitted to the
commission for adoption or rejection.
II is plain from this that, according 10
ago. the functions of the State Engineer
and Surveyor and the Superintendent OF
Public Works were 10 he something
more than advisory. Those officials
were to have authority not merely TO
advise the executive head. or Superiu-
tendcnt of Highways about routes,
plans and specifications. but to adopt
or reject his suggestions dhtrieht
From the point just quoted the mes
sage reads: when plans and Specifca-
"tions are adopted by the commission
and contracts entered into. the sole re
"sponsibility for the execution Of the
work. in accordance with the plans and
specifications. should be upon the State
superintendent Of Highways. That
was not perfectly explicit as 10 who
was TO have authority over contracts,
but 1t described the sole responsibility
of the Superintendent as beginning after
contracts had been let and not until
then. And the bill which had been
drawn by Governor Dix's voluntary adj
wiser. Professor Collin. The "cOrpora-
tion expert" placed authority over let
ting contracts in the hands Of the So
called advisory" commission. The Gov
ernors plans seem TO have been misun-
derstood not only by the public but by
the expert who drew up the Governor
highway bill and by whoever prepared
the Governors message. Didn't the
Governor himself misunderstood them
when he sent that message 10 the LeGis-
! lature?
