THEIR OWN DOING.

The efforts of The New York Times
70 shift responsibility for the ratifica-
ton Of the income tax amendment Ia
the federal Constitution from the shOul-
ders of those who voted the Democratic
ticket in this state last fall are highly
diyerting. It said yesterday that "a
change Of two votes in the Assembly
"from affirmative TO negative would have
defeated the amendment Since seven
Republican Assemblymcn voted in the
affirmative the inference intended TO be
drawn was probably that responsibility
for the approval of the amendment was
bipartisan. But such IS not the case.
The vote was 81 for and ~ against.
Seyenty-siX votes-a constitutional ma
iority-were required to pass the resolu-
ton, according TO the ruling made in the
last legislature when the resolution was
held to have the same parliamentary
status as a bill. A change Of two votes
from the affirmative 10 the negative
would not have altered the result. If
all of the seven Republicans bad gone
over to the opposition the resolution
would still have had eight votes more
than enough. The votes cast by Demo
Gratis were sufficient TO pass ii, and ii was
passed as a party measure after ap-
rroval by a Democratic caucus.
"rle Times" also said
1t is amazing that this Republican in
come tax should have had even "A ma
iority in n Democratic legislative body.
There is nothing Democratic about II.
That statement is certainly amazing. y
The Assembly of 1910, with a Republican
majority, declined 10 ratify the amend
mcnt. When new Assembly was 10 be
chosen last November the Republican
state platform did not pledge the party
in any way to ratification Nearly all
the Democrats in the last Legislature
bad voted 10 ratify, and the Democratic
platform of 1910 contained Il plank IA
vOring Fan amendment" 10 the federal
Constitution permitting the imposition
of an income tax. The Democratic can
didate for Governor accepted that dec

THINKS ANIMALS WELL TREATED

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The writer gladly takes ISSUE with
Alfred Laurens Brennan. who. In to-days
Tribune assails tho management OK the
Geological Park" by which l believe ne
has reference to The Bronx Geological
Park | have for the last ten years, with
the exception Of the time visiting other
cities Of this country. lived within one
block OF the Geological Park. and on &C
count Of my constant visits there might
say | believe | am more conyersant with
the conditions and affairs OF that insdtu-
ton than probably any person not con-
nected herewith.
The animals and birds each have cura-
tor or curators, who made a special study
OF the comfort OF each specimen, and in no
case have conditions existed as described In
Mr.. Brennan's letter. On the contrary, each
specimen IS well cared for, we'll fed at
proper and specified times, and In receipt
OF more and careful attention than are
large number Of our own children. IL is
to be remembered that this Is quasi
public corporation. which receives for It's
upkeep very little from the city. but re-
ceives by private subscription about 20 per
cent OF the amount to prolong and promote
this wonderful institution OF research ana
conservation. Should Mr.. Brennan still
think that the Inhabitants Of that park
are being neglected and allowed to live in
filth. the management would undoubtedly
be glad to receive his check for sub
stantial amount, with any suggestions he
cares to make looking TO correcting this
condition.
In all communities there are certain per-
sons who eyerlastingly find fault with
things In general. and particularly with
public institutions. when such institutions
offer to them their exhibitions free. 1t
is quite evident from the letter Of this gen
tleman that he availed himself Of the OPP
portunity to visit this park on d day when
the small admission is not collected and
made IT his business to magnify small and
insignificant occurrences and things, in
stead of contenting himself with its Won
der and praising the officers and directors
Of that institution for the work and money
they have given TO so noble a cause.

a NATURALIZATION REQUIREMENT.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There IS requirement OF the nat
uralzation law now in operation that
aliens who arrived IN the United States
after June 20, 1906, must obtain q certifi-
cate from the Department OF Commerce
and Labor showing the date, place and
manner Of their arrival in the United
States before they may petition for nat
uralization. II Is requested that publicity
be given to the fact that the form Of re-
quest which aliens are required to use for
these certificates may be mailed by the
clerk OF tho court to the alien If the alien
applies to the clerk OF the court and shows
that he has declared his intention to be-
come a citizen at least two years before,
and that he has lived continuously in the
United States for five years. The fact
that an alien may apply TO the clerk OF
the court in writing is important as saw
Ing aliens the expense OF going 10 the
office OF the clerk OF the court before the
certificate OF arrival is in the hands Of
the clerk.
The addresses OF the clerks OF the courts
exercising naturalization Jurisdiction in
New York County are as follows:

THE WzzLE OF A PROGRAMME.


1t is a lame and impotent conclusion
toward which the Board OF Estimate
and Appointments management OF the
subway question is rapidly tending n
! few weeks ago the board unanimously
and amid universal applause adopted a
programme. Since then 1t has spent most
! of its time upsetting its own programme.
| 1t has no confidence in its own judg-
ment Having laid down terms which
! K unanimously decided to be proper. 1t
| has abandoned them and IS considering
proposal which makes its former
unanimous attitude ridiculous. The
Mayor writes to inform the public that
he regards as unconstitutional the terms
! for which he voted, and he is not placed
in any worse light thereby than are his
associates, who by their present actions,
indicate that they regard the conditions
which in their wisdom they adopted
! less than a month ago as impractcabie
and the determination upon which they
then decided as thing to he avoided
qt all hazards.
One advantage that was to have been
obtained from the much lauded pro-
gramme Of last month was a prompt
solution Of the subway problem. What
ever the result was it would be reached
! Immediately. From that conclusion
| there was no escape. IT would be both
companies as subway operators or one
| company or the other company or con-
structien Of an independent route by
| the city. On July 6 at the latest nego-
tiations would be ended. 1t is now a
good deal later than July & and none
Of the options has been realized. No
contract has been signed with either
| company, and there are intimations that
rome Will be with the company which is
ready TO accept the city's terms.
The Board of Estimate has cast aside
all its admirable flrmness and appears
TO be drifting without purpose and with
out policy. Negotiations, instead Of
/ being over, have apparently only Just
/ begun, and the marlborough company
/ is so sure Of the weakness of the city's
representatives that It submits the most
preposterous offer ever made in the
course of these comic opera negotiations.
Hitherto the city has held the threat of
competition over the heads Of the Inter-
( borough representatives. But how
empty and ineffective that threat has
become since the city has plainly shown
by its failure to carry out its threat that
lit is even more aversc to competition
than is the InterborOuGh company It
SELF In recent negotiations the city
! Leld a strong hand. 1t now holds weak
one. for it has told the Interborough
company as plainly as it can that 1t
wants 10 one but the PETERBOROUGH COM
pany to operate the Manhattan and
Bronx subways. No wonder the COM
pany asks to be paid handsomely to
do IT,

APPEAL FOR THE BLIND
Large Fund Needed for New Industrial
Building.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The announcement In several papers
Of the purchase by the New York Associa-
ton for the Blind of a slte I'm 59th stree.
for its new Lighthouse. as the blind call
the Office OF the New York Association.
seems TO carry the implication that all the
money needed for the building OF the Light
house has already been secured and that
we are ready to break ground.
This impression is quite erroneous. and
IT is only fair to the hundreds of blind peo-
ple who are anxiously looking forward to
a new Lighthouse 10 explain the circum-
stances which will necessarily delay actual
building operations for some time.
on the opening night Of the blind work
ers' exhibition a virtual promise was made
TO the hundreds OF blind and their friends
that the greatest efforts would be made 10
build new Lighthouse. wherein the blind
might work, learn trades and find distrac-
ton from their affliction.
An energetic movement was accordingly
started immediately after tho closing OF
the blind workers exhibition TO raise the
required money for the building OF large
quarters 10 accommodate the growing
needs OF the blind who daily ask the OPP
nortunlty 10 learn n trade and to work
Bishop Greer and Mr.. Choate sent out
over 1900 letters over their signatures APP
Dealing for $1,000 with which 10 build the
first modern trale school and settlement
FOR the blind IN the world. II Was eX-
planned in this letter that desirable build
lng site had been found ana that the a.
ISOLATION wanted 10 begin work al once, 81
as to open the new building next fall.
The response To this appeal. while ycf}
generous In many quarters has, up TO tho
preseut. Melted the association 5O.ooO-tha,
is. 10000 short OF the sum needed TO bullc
the new Lighthouse.
In the mean time II was feared that thu

To tho Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir The Board OF Education has become
so unpopular with the ordinary citizen that
the latter Will welcome any law that VIII
bring about a change in its administration.
The trouble has all come from class
OF busybodes. who want 10 dictate as to
the way I'm which the schools shall be run
and 10 insist that a certain line OF teach
ing shall be followed which is entirely
contrary TO the Views Of the parents or
the children attending the schools. Words
and arguments have had no effect on the
school management, and so Mayor Gaynor
simply represents the universal feeling IN
advocating a paid board In sympathy with
the public.
1t IS Just as well 10 add that as the dis
cussion keeps on the ball will grow" and
every day surely will bring us nearer the
change proposed. MANHATTAN
