Acas or built them on the Pacific beach is matter

1923 that his cousin Cortez became interested in

definite plans for cutting canal at Panama

As nearly as we can get at the judicial protest
il is that there are no corners in the proposeu

The Gentle Art of Window Smashing.

Jersey City's Experiment.

II is scarcely conceivable that any petty techni-
cality will be permitted to bak the interesting
experiment which yesterday begun in Jersey
City. There can be no question either that radi-
cal change Of governmental methods is needed
there, or that a majority Of the people desire TO
try the commission system.
The experiment is the more interesting because
Jersey City Is much the largest municipality that
has thus far adopted the commission form Of gov
ernment and the results there will serve as bases
on which to Judge the applicability Of the system
to communities Of metropolitan proportions The
problems OF government there are almost as varied
and complex as in the largest cities and differ
from the latter in degree rather than in kind.

LICENSING BUSINESS
Why Penalize Trade When You Can
Tax Values?

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: BY all means in this matter OF
taxation let us proportion the penalty 70
the offence. The newspapers announce
that the Progressive party Is investigating
the question OF licenses upon business in
the city This is interesting Just con-
slider the offence OF the business man in
this city especially OF the manufacturer.
He saves up his capital. invests in a
plant, employs scores. perhaps hundreds.
OF people to work for him, increases the
population OF the city by hundreds or
thousands and the land values increase
$500 for every unit OF increase In popula-
tion. and he thereby constitutes himself
public nuisance-in the eyes OF land

for the attention OF the Progressives the
following scale Of penalties for manufact-
urers?
For manufacturers employing five peo-

employing ten people. fine OF 81, 900, and
so on. II we can only get this business

PLAYTHINGs OF PRIVILEGE
So a Reader Characterizes Our Pri-
vate Charities

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your report of the conference Of
social workers at the Church OF the A.
cension in Sundays issue states that I
was chided" by Judge Julian W. Mack.
Judge Mack has been a friend Of mine
for several years. and l hope he may
some day get a proper economic point
OF view That is very difficult for
Judge. That he IS entirely illogical.
however is shown by his remaining on
the Commerce Court II he thinks that
our millionaires seek the power tina.
wealth brings. but with an occasional
exception they want that power that
they may DO good with f." BY all odds.
then. the railroads should be permitted
TO charge any rates they want TO. so
that their stockholders may become
wealthy and do good with their power!
IL is a serious reflection upon the So
cial workers that they did not attend
this conference Judge Mack admitted
that private social work is a compromise.
That these playthings OF privilege have
no place in a democracy was also plainly
shown by the large attendance at the
meetings. and that the people OF New
York City appreciate this point OF view
Private charity has no place in this city
with our present unjust economic cOndi-
tions. Public relief has a place. because
the public Is responsible for the causes
OF poverty. The large charities are
most OF them either trying to perpetuata
injustice or at most condoning the
causes Of poverty.
