WHERE EVERYTHING FAILED

Several things stood in the way Of
life for Mrs. Emma Corduan, a poor
woman of Newark. In the first place,
she is said to have been subject to
hemorrhages. Then, when neighbors
found her bleeding to death, the ply
stefan who was summoned did not know
whether he was to be paid or not and
did not see her. Later another doctor
officially detailed for such cases was
called, but he had the wrong Ramher
and SO failed to reach her bedside
Finally the police were appealed to.
but when they asked the City hospital
to send an ambulance they were told
that there must be physicians certif~
ieate to guard against contagion,
Thus no help came, and thus human
being bled to death without attention.
A wonderful machine is our social
system, adjusted to every conceivable
situation and kept running at immense
cost, but sometimes it works as
clumsily as an oxcart and with much
less certainty.--New York World.

BIG CITY's NEED FOR ECONOMY

Since 1898, the birth year Of Great
er New York, the city budget has
swollen from ST., 473,O84 to 1892, 7O9,-
342 in 1913.
In 15 years. the budget has grown
$50 per cent.
In 1898 the estimated population of
the city was 3,35O,0O0. The estimated
population in 1913 was 5,173,064.
In Is years the population has in
creased 81 per cent.
In 1898 the city debt was s341, 844,-
225. The city debt in 1912 was
SLIT, 153, O93. This outside of GER
tain bonds.
In Ia years the debt increased 227
per cent.
The Sun invites the grave consider
alton Of the citizens of New York,
without distinction Of party, to these
ominous figures and percentages.
1t is true that by continuous arti-
fetal lacking up Of assessments on
real and personal properties their val
uation has risen nominally from

in 1912, or 166 per cent in ID years;
but even this futile forcing process
has exhausted itself.
1t is too notorious that the so-called
taxable value of real estate is often
absurdly above the actual value; and
between 1911 and 1912 even the as
sessed value fell. Under the pressure
of overtaxation and overassessment
of real estate Says. 1t needs rest and
time to recuperate.
Remember that while the nominal
increase in property valuation has
been 166 per cent, the actual increase
in the debt has been 227 per cent.
New schemes for fattening the bud
get and the debt; new holes in which
to throw away the taxpayers money;
extravaganza on extravaganza, bur.
den on the present and mortgage or
the future; this is the municipal fl.
nance of New York, as of every other
city. The city throws away money as
recklessly as drunken man. with al
coholic folides grandeurs scatters his
dimes in the street.
The thing must stop some time
Why not stop it now? At least .

severe economy, of businesslike adj
