CLEAR HEALTH BILL.

In his report just submitted to Governor
Dix following an investigation into the work of
the public service commission for the metro
politan district John n Carlisle of WATERFOWL,
the governors special commissioner, gives the
commission clear bill of health, :" as it were,
although expressing some surprise that nobody
not of the publicservice corporations
Of the cty-came forward at his invitation to
lodge complaints against the commission for
any of its possible sins of commission or sins
Of omission and that no criticism of its opera
tion policies found its way to him; if it has
any critics. they dscretcly kept themselves in
the background. As all the World knows Gov
ernor Hughes conceived the idea of supplant-
ing the old Rapid Transit commission with
new body having enlarged powers for the chief
purpose Of relieving the congestion of street
travel in this town and providing real rapid
transit for it; the new commission has been in
office for four years lacking just month
but with extension of real rapid transit
vet.
Commissioner Carlisle refuses however to Law
the responsibility for this failure of rapid transit
to materialize at the door Of the commission
The public rule, he says, ''has placed
the blame for the delays upon the pubc-service
commission. 1t insult be remembered that the
commission, while it has the initiative duty and
power to lay out subway routes vet is as a
matter OF fact absolutely subject to the control
OF the board OF estimate and apportonment
because that board has the final power of APP
proving contracts and furnishing the funds
This does not put up to the board of
estimate IN so many words the responsibility
for the long delay in subway extension. but it
comes pretty close to doing it. And the spe-
cial commissioner of Governor Dix intimates
very strongly that there is no excuse for the
delay. There are many diversified in
terests to be satisfied he says and such fnan-
clal gains to be secured and so many arguments
advanced for and against any proposition that
the subway problem has been looked upon as
intricate and complex As matter of fact it
is quite simple and easily sovedi
1t may be remarked in passing that Com
missioner Carlisle is the only man who has come
to regard the subway problem as simple and
easily solved" He doesn offer his scheme of
soution-but if he really has one the city of
New York ought to secure it from him with
out delay and if it is ''the real thing almost
any price for it would be reasonable The
WatertoWn man has grand opportunity to
lmmortalize himself by presenting his solution"
to the city on gold plate with his compli-
ments.

BRYAN ON RAW WOOL.

In the current issue of his Commoner a
demand for free raw wool is made by Colonel
Bryan, and those democrats IN congress who OPP
pose the proposal are set down by him as out
and-out protectionists who are ashamed to say
that they favor protection" Chairman Under
wood of the ways-and-me committee re-
SCENTS the attack as unfair to the committee
majority and to the democrats who will SUD-
port its tarif-revsion bill. The committee dis
covered, he explains that it could increase the
amount of revenue by reducing the duties on
manufactured wool, but that it could not in
crease the revenue sufficiently to make up the
$21000000 a year paid on raw-wool imports
So the committee determined he says. that
it was necessary to levy IA small tax raw wool
to make up the deficiency in revenue and to
make the schedule pay the $40000,000 now
collected under it at the customs houses There
is $20000,000 collected from manufactured and
$21,O00000 from manufactured wooE" The
discussion is not wholly ninteresting but
largely academic since the chances Of the senate
passing the proposed house bill infntesima
The interest centers not so much on the pro-
vision Of the bill itself as on the question of
whether not the democratic house of repre-
sentatiyes will follow the lead of the Nebraskan
in this matter. 1t must be said of him that he
is constellation he voted for the free-raw-
wool provision of the Wilson, ioman bill and
for its manufactured wool schedules when t.
was member of the house.
He might be reminded however. that III,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. experiment in that measure
proved to be IA most disastrous venture. The
volume of raw-wool importations was trchlc
by it and the quantity of wooden manufactures
were more than doubled yet the revenue from
these imports cut almost squarely in two;
free wool did not effect increase in the eX-
portaton of wooden manufactures, as had been
predicted for it, but importatonS Of shoddy
were greatly increased; and both the wool grow
ing and the Mountaineering industries here
in the United States were sorely depressed
throughout the years between the enactment
of the free-wool bill and the passage of the
DngIey law in 1907. 1t is not easily belicvable
that even anti-protectionst democrats as
general thing want to experiment with free
wool again. Z. 4gN1tast1N

VOCATIONAL TRAINING,

The high school of Kansas and the country
are dong more to increase class distinction
in the United States than in making men and
women who are worth while, according to f.
I. Farchild, state superintendent of public
instruction of Kansas.
The lack of vocational training in the high
schools is responsible for the condition, in
Mr. Farchild's opinion. There is too much
culture and too little of the training that tends
to make boys and girls appreciate the dignity
Of labor.
Couture studies are all right" Mr.. Fair
child said, "and they should be required in
every high school an incentive to better
things but vocational training is just as i'm
portant. Under present conditions the boys
and girls in high schools are being taught
that it is better to have culture than to know
the things that are good in the ordinary walks
of life, such the manual training and do
nestle science.
"This is building up class distinction and
snobbish ideas. After boy has taken a course
in manual training, | know that he is not 60

who makes an excellent weld, the carpenter
who does a good job of ioinery. lie appreciates

KEEP YOUR POODLE
DOG FROM TRAVELLING

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The
customs court has given decision
which promises to bring customs
collectors into even more unpopu-
larity.
Three words in one section OF
the Payne-Aldrich law have been
construed to mean that any Ameri-
can-born animal once taken out OF
this country, must pay duty to
return. 1t is held that the law
applies to all animals from pet
poodles to draft horses. Hereto
fore customs collectors have been
allowed to exercise some discretion
in enforcing this. provision,
An American woman who takes
her pet poodle to Europe will have
to pay duty on it when she returns.
Collector Loeb, at New York, has
begged the treasury department to
allow him to wink at the law, but
has been advised that the govern
ment will allow no winks.
Many Americans who have sum-
mer homes in Canada and usually
take their horses and dogs with
them, will be confronted with a duty
when they return.
The law has been in effect since
August 5, 1909, but the customs
officials have never enforced it.
