THE TMrERBOROUGH'S LATEST.

In spite of Mayor Gaynor's predic-
ton to the contrary, the new INTERIOR
ough offer bears q marked resemblance
to its previous offer, which he says was
never satisfactory to him. Though IL
contains some concessions to the views
Of the McAneny committee OF the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment,
they may not he found of sufficient
scope to be acceptable. If the commit
tee was against the previous INTERIOR
ough offer-and Mr.. McAneny's public
utterances seemed to place him, at
least. In opposition to tit seems not
improbable that it will be against this
amended offer.
The committee Of the Board of EST
mate and Apportionment wanted the
Interborough company to pool the earn
ings Of the entire system, including
those of the present subway. This the
offer does not concede. The committee
further wanted the company to trade,
so far as leases were concerned, one
enc Of its present subway on Manhat-
tan Island for the corresponding end Of
the new subway on Manhattan Island,
so that the city, instead Of having
subway up Lexington avenue from 42d
street and another down Seventh ave-
nue. from that point, without physical
connection, which it might take over at
the end of ten years, would have
single East Side or West Side line TO
take over The concession Of this point
Is so hedged about with conditions that
its value is not clear These We're the
two important demands OF the Nc
Aneny committee 1t also wanted a
subway In Broadway, Brooklyn, and in
18th street, Manhattan. with tube
under the river connecting them. This
is granted. The franchise asked on the
Jerome avenue extension is also cut
down, but not apparently to the extent
insisted upon by Mr.. McAneny.
The proposal Of the company for Il
subway in Broadway. Manhattan looks
as If it had been framed 10 keep the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company out
of that thoroughfare. If the tribor
cugh line is not built and the INTERIOR
ough company is the successful bidder,
the Brooklyn company desires to oc-
cupy Broadway from Vesey street to
42d street with a subway for the dis
tribution Of its passengers. That sub
way the Brooklyn company would con-
tinue up Seventh avenue from 42d street
10 59th street, and then over the
Greensboro Bridge to Queens. The In
terborough company proposes n two
track line in Broadway from 18th street
up. following the line of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company's plan to
Queens. If the marlborough is to be
the successful bidder it should not he
permitted to spoil Broadway for any
competitor by occupying a mile and
half Of 1t with a comparatively unim-
portant two-track subway.
The new offer is an improvement
upon the offer Of December, and not n
trfing one. 1t provides for additional
mileage, but in respect to extent It falls
short of the Brooklyn offer. Perhaps
the Brooklyn company, which has
shown a disposition to meet the wishes
Of the city in all respects, will be heard
from again

JERSEYS STERILIZATION BILL
John Armstrong Chaloner's Opinion of
It Could Hardly Be Called Favorable.

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Sir: The monstrous. inhuman proposi-
ton embodied I'm the so-called barharous
law-the sterilization bll-iust signed by
Governor Wilson OF New Jersey, as sup
ported I'm your issue OF yesterday. leads a

NOT ~ THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Our neighbOr, 'The World" says that
the Farmers Free List bill, passed by the
House Of. Representatives on Monday, IS
"a move in the right direction" Rejoic-
ing in the handiwork Of Messrs. Clark
and Underwood. 1t adds: important as
SIS every remission Of unjust and un-
necessary taxation. there is greater sig.
"nificance in the fact that we have a Con-
"gress at last that keeps its pledges" 1t
would be interesting TO know what pledges
the Democratic ma jOrity in the House Of
Representatives kept when 1t constructed
the Farmers Free List, thus giving ap-
pioval TO the theory, novel in American
tariff legislation. that the duties imposed
on imported articles should depend upon
the occupation or vocation of the per-
sons using or consuming such articles.
What Democratic national platform in
our time has advocated the removal of
duties on imports intended for the use
of any single class of consumers?
The Democratic party has repeatedly
put itself on record as favoring tariff
for revenue only. duties being so graded
as TO insure TO the Treasury the maxi
mum income on impOrtatiOns. Nothing
was ever said about creating "A farmers.
butchers. bakers or an undertakers'
free list In the Democratic national
platform of 1908 few articles were
specified as eligible for the free list. But
the reason given for such exceptional
treatment was certainly not that the
articles named were used by any single
class In the community. The platform
said:
We favor the immediate revision Of
the tariff bD the reduction Of import
duties Articles entering into COMPETE
ton with trust controlled products
shoLld be placed upon the free list and
matcridI reductions should be made in
the tariff upon the necessaries of life,
especially upon articles competing with
such American manufactures as are sold
abroad more cheaply than at home. and
OrddpGtc reductions should be made in
such other schedules as may be neces-
sary 10 restore the tariff to revenue

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: "Grammaticus." in your issue OF ",

"banister' for "baluster." The Dictionaries
think, generally note that 'banister Is .
corruption of baluster. but l don't reca'
their mentioning that the commonest use
Of "banister' involves the second error Oh
really referring 70 the "handrail' that sur
mounts and secures together at the top the
"balusters."
Ny recollection is that some OF the gen
eral dictionaries ignore the word "handraii
altogether. However. tho terminoiogy Oh
professional specialists is apt to STICK 10
original meanings. An architects specih
cation doesn't use the word "banister at
all. and makes the proper distinction De-
