One Way to Stop Commereialized Vice

While the Rockefeller Commission
did not believe it proper to make any
recommendations, at this early stage
OF its Investigations at Manhattan
Borough, as TO how to put stop to
the commercialized prostitution in that
part of New York City. yet it would
seem that the courts have a clear
enough view of the nauseating con-
ditions and are acting accordingly.
One method OF wiping out COM
mercialized vice and one which will
appeal to all respectable persons, would
be the imposition of severe penalties,
including life imprisonment, upon the
men who seek to enrich themselves in
this way. One such wretch was so
dealt with at New York last week,
and if a few dozen we're to receive
similar sentences the effect could not
but be beneficial.
Improvement would be vast, il the
vice guarantees established in the
tenderloins of large cities could also
drive out the men who make a living
by a combination of machine politics
and pandering to vice. There is no
reason why these districts should not
be cleared of the pests and regener
ated for either business or residential
purposes. Each city is a loser by al
lowing some OF its most accessible
and convenient portions to be depressed
in value by this evil.

The Council of Foreign Bondholders.

In their obituaries of Lord Avebury,
who died in London Wednesday al the
age OF seventy-nine years, no Amer
lean newspapers have touched on that
feature OF his career which most con-
Germs the nations of the western hemi-
sphere.
Lord Avebury for years has been
president of the Council of the Cor
poration of Foreign Bondholders.
The influence which this organi-
zation has welded with regard to
Latin-American countries, and the re-
lations of the United States thereto, is
little appreciated.
The object of the corporation is the
protection of the interests of the hold.

Ad Valorem or Specific Rates.

The Democrats of the Wavs
and Means Committee have as
surned that there is some neces-
sarv connection between specific
rates and protection on the one
hand. and ad valorem rates and
tariff for revenue. only on the
other.
Specific rates, it is true, are
preferable from the point of view
of the producer, but it does not
follow that they are not prefer
able from the point of view of
revenue. The United Kingdom
has a purely revenue tariff, which
does not even afford Incidental
protection such as American rev.
enue tariff does, and still every
rate is specific The British gov
eminent as we'll as all the other
advanced European countries have
abandoned ad valorem rates as I'M
practicable.
If we turn to our own internal
revenue system we find all the
taxes on a specific basis. If in
this purely revenue system spe-
Cihc rates are desirable. are they
not much more desirable when
imports are to be taxed?
The tariff board made some
very pertinent observations on the
method of levying duties. 1t says:
The system of specific duties
has MANY advantages. From the
point OF view OF revenue and ad-
ministration such system has the
advantage OF fixing definite rates
which are independent of the fuc-
tuationS OF the market. 1t solves
by elimination the very important
problem of differentiation. From
the economic viewpoint, the system
has this advantage; that the
amount OF duty remains uniform
despite fluctuations in prices.
One serious disadvantage of ad
valorem duties is that the amount
OF duty increases with every in
crease in the price of the article.
In other words, at the time when
prices are high and when the
consumer would be most benefited
by the active competition of
foreign fabrics, the duty auto
matically increases. Conversely,
the amount OF duty diminishes
when prices fall; that is, when the
consumer least needs relief and
when the competition OF foreign
manufacturers is most injurious
to the home producer.
From the viewpoint OF pro-
tecting the domestic manufacturer
BY equalizing the difference in
cost of production at home and
abroad by means of tariff duties,
the system of specific duties is the
natural and logical method. Mar
ket values fuctuate continuously,
according to the prices of the raw
material. The cost of manufac-
turing this material, however, re-
mains relatively constant, and does
not change with such fluctuations.
That is, the difference in the cost
of production is relatively con-
slant quantity and consequently a
duty assessed in ad valorem terms
would inevitably be at one time in
excess of the difference in the cost
of production, and at another time
less than the difference in the cost
OF production, according to the
temporary and speculative changes
of the market

everything is in readiness to take care
of members of the organization who de-
sire any information relative to touring.
The idea of a mutual touring bureau
originated in the mind OF prominent
motorist of this city, who does great
deal of touring and who believed that
the pleasures of motoring could be
greatly enhanced by forming an organi-
zation of motorists, with offices in some
convenient building, where touring maps
and general touring information would
be obtainable for the great body OF car
owners of this city and the surrounding
country who go a-touring. and who, OF
course, must contribute to its support
IL they desire to participate in its bene.
fits.

That the lsutual Touring Bureau was
not organized as money-making
scheme is at once apparent. The MEM
bership fee is but 50 year, and each
member is given q copy OF the Blue

BUREAU TO BE STARTED
TO FIND STOLEN AUTOS
Manufacturers Contemplate Inangura-
lion Of System to Run Down,Cars
Of Careless Drivers.

As result of the activity OF automobile
thieves all over the country, several man.
ufacturers have added TO their natioual
selling organization a department to, be
known as Bureau Of Information to AS
sist in the Recovery OF Stolen Automo-
biles. Competent men have been appoint
ed as head Of the bureau. Every owner
is to have the benefit Of the big army of
distributors and dealers in the United
States and Canada should he lose his car.
There Is hardly a place in the country
today where automobile thieving is not
prevalent. Although the up-to-date cars
are equipped so that the owner can lock
his car. making II positively burglar
proof. still many forget and leave their
machines unprotected. resulting in the
car going on a Joy ride, and In some
cases being driven TO distant points.
While II Is a hard matter for the al
legged thieves to get away with the car
for a financial value. still, the inconven-
fence that is suffered and probable dam
age is sufficient for the establishment of
this latest department by the manufac-
turers.
It Is the purpose OF the new department
as soon as an owner reports a car lost. to
Immediately notify their big army Of rep

TROUBLES OF BEGINNERS.
Keep Cool and Drive Slow" Il
Advice.

Every automobile owner has a dan
gerous period in his motoring career and
1t is usually during the first month of
ownership" says George f. Daniels.
vice president and general manager of
the Oakland Motor Car Company. This
is probably due to the fact that begin
ners are over-anxious to learn how to
drive, and in their excitement usually
forget to act quickly enough when &C.
casion requires.
"Why is ii that some beginners find
that the widest doors are not wide
enough for their cars, and insist on en-
tering the garage via a thick brick wall?
This common accident, usually. is the re-
suit of going too fast. Keep cool. Watch
your car!
Beginners should be careful during
the first month. and they will not only
avoid accidents. but the proper care of
tho. car at this time viii undoubtedly re-
suit In longer life to the machine.
Owners must not neglect the care OF
the car. The most important thing is
that of fabrication. Frequently We hear
OF new owners. In their absent-minded-
ness, forget to lubricate the motor, with
the result that bearings are burnt and
other damage done. Remember that 1t is
during this period that you are breaking
in your car and special attention should
be paid to all of the working parts"
