We deeply regret that Governor
Woodrow Wilson should permit himself
to talk, for publication, upon public
affairs of great weight and moment
in a manner ill BETTING his character
standing and aspirations. The Outlook
for August 20 publishes, under the title
of woodrow Wilson's Views the re-
port of an interview with Governor
Wilson, in which, speaking of the Aid
rich plan of currency reform, he makes
his observation:
am afraid that any measure OF
that character bearing Mr.. Aihrich
name must have been drawn IN the
Offices OF the few men who, through
the present system of concentrated
capital. control the banking and IN
dustrial activities of the country.
1t is ,~deplorable, we say, that WOOD
row Wilson should express himself in
respect to a measure of reform vltaiiy
important to the country's business IN
a manner we are accustomed to ex-
pect from Mr.. Bryan, from senator
Owen of Oklahoma, and from Senator
La fOllette, pul WhiSh S'
of most disagreeable surprise e IL
is adopted by the ex-president OF
Princeton University. who, according 20
common repute, is a profound student
of public questions.
Governor Wilson said in his Harris
burg speech that our system of credit
is concentrated. that "all our activl-
ties are in the hands of a few men,
who. giving their attention chiefly TO
the great undertakings in which their
own money is involved, exercise a
power of control which tends to "cnifA

DOM This he said, lis the great
est question of all, and to this states
men must address themselves with an
earnest determination to serve the long
future and the true liberties of man.
Has Governor Wilson needed his own
admonition upon the duty of states
men? In the paragraph immediately
that from which we have

consideration and involves wise
and soun economic planning.
Yet Mr.. Wilson. although he has

tion." permits himself to speak of the
plan of reform which bears Mr.. Al
drich's name as though it were con
trived to confirm and perpetuate the
control of credit in a few hands. The
slur of this remark is it's least defect.
Governor Wilson shows hat he is as
ill-informed with respect to the pres
ent banking situation of the country
as he is on his own confession with
respect to the Aldrich plan. He should
be aware, as every reasonably we'll
informed person is aware. that no

1t is of the highest Importance thai

POSTAL SAVINGS MAY BE
TAXED IN NEW YORK STATE

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. MONEYS
on deposit in postal savings banks are
subject to taxation, according to an
opinion given yesterday by Attorney
General Carmody TO the State Board
of Tax Commissioners
While it may well be urged says
Mr.. Carmody, that the same consid-
GRAFTON which prompted the Lesisla-
ture by the enactment of the provis-
ion to exempt from taxation savings
bank deposits applies with equal force
to deposits in postal savings banks, 1
am nevertheless of the opinion that 1t
dces not extend or apply to that char
acter of deposits"
The encouragement holds that the
State tax law. which exempts from
taxation money due savings bank de-
positors, was intended to apply only
to savings banks as they were provided
for in the State banking law.

A PROMISED NEW POLITICAL REFORM.

L is announced in Trenton to be the intention of the new com
mission mayor to secure, if possible, the passage of an act by
the next Legislature providing that no person may vote at any
municipal or general election until after his poll tax is paid. The
legislature this year seemed to exhaust the devices to discourage
voting, but much more can yet be done. The politics of Philadelphia
and Pittsburg have been corrupted for years by a law requiring the
production OF a poll tax receipt as necessary before a vote can be
cast. Thousands of voters would feel that they are penahzed for
voting if they complied with the law, and they would not go No the
polls. In order to secure this vote it has been the practise of cam
paign committees to buy poll tax receipts by the wholesale and
distribute them among the voters as a consideration for their bal
lots. Now, the effect of such a law in New Jersey would either be
the same demoralizing practise or the exclusion from voting of
thousands of poor men, chiefly those of foreign birth, to whom. the
amount of a poll tax equals a days wage. And this is promised as
one of the early reforms for New Jersey.

THE PERL OF OUR STREETS.

cT HE STAR has repeatedly called attention to the reckless driv
ing by many chaufeurs in Newarks streets and the lack OF
safeguards for the public. The few who are arrested for un
lawful speed or for injuries done to people are usually let off with
easy penalties, and therefore there is little or no deterrent for
Others. The killing of a worthy citizen early yesterday by a motor
car gives point to THE STARS remonstrances to the public au
thornies against the apparent Indifference that permits this peril in
public streets and shows such leniency to those who make the peril
l. is utterly intolerabe that life and limb should be exposed in the
streets of q city to constant danger by a class of men who deliber
ately take the risks of killing or injuring people in their mad haste
to get over the ground. Better police regulations are needed, to-
gether with better police vigilance. In all cases of injury or death
the chauffeur. if he does not give himself over to justice, should be
hunted down a a malefactor. and the punishment should fit the
crime. The streets belong to the people and it is the peoples right
that the streets shall be safe for their travel. If they are unsafe it
is the fault of the government and the neglect of the police.

FIRST DELEGATES FOR TAFT.

IN LABAMAi is the first of the States to choose deegates-atlarge
V to the Republican national convention next year, and they
are Taft delegates. The Southern delegations will generally
be instructed for Taft, and unless there shall be a reyulsion in party
sentiment in the Northern States prior to the convention he will
secure the great majority of the delegates in the North, and have
the nomination chnched. As for his reelection, that will depend
on the character of the Democratic nomination. The Democratic
partys three experiments with Mr.. Bryan as its presidential can
didate served to demonstrate the truth that all democracies are con
sentative. The Democratic party organization insured the election
of three Republican candidates for President by nominating a man
who was a theorist and a radical. The national Democracy cannot
safely repeat that experience in 1912.
