CLEWS FAvORS
LONGER TERM

Henry Clews, the well-known New
York banker, voices the opinions
CT a growing element in the United
States, regarding the need of change
IN our methods of holding elections,
and the length of term of our pres
idents. He says in recent letter:
"The disturbance to business arts
ing from the Presidential election
once more emphasizes the desirability
of making the term of Office six years
instead of four. Why should the legit-
innate activities of 94,OO0,0OO Of peo-
pie be arrested oftener than neces-
sary? 1t is quite true that the coun-
try will consume as much food, and
wear as many clothes, and require as
much shelter as at any other time.
Nevertheless, the material prosperity
of the nation is inevitably checked,
simply because enterprise is deaden-
ed by fear. New projects are de-
ferred, risks are avoided and the to-
ia! business consequently diminished.
Labor, quite as much as capital, is
injured by this harmful excitement,
for the mainsprings Of industry can
not be impaired without affecting the
whole social fabric. In Great Britain
national elections are only held when
required by political exigencies., No
regular time is appointed. A general
election quickly follows dissolution oil
Parliament; so that while the crisis
may be sharp it is always short and
not dragged along for weary months
as in the United States. Moreover
the long period of apprehensive antic
ipation which is usually worse thar
the actual crisis is averted. The Brit

TO TAX THE AREAS
UNDERNEATH SIDEWALK

An ordinance has been introduced
In the San Francisco board Of super
visors, providing for the collection by
the city of fixed rate of rental from
the areas beneath the sidewalks which
have been appropriated by private
owners for basement extensions. A
strong fight is being made against the
bill. It is claimed by those favoring
the measure that private firms have
no right to use public property with
out paying for it, and it is suggested
that these basement areas might prof
itably be used by the city as a place
for conduits of various kinds.
