Taxicab Rates and the Laws Delays.

A couple of lawsuits against the city growing out

rate schedule.
The new ordinance was passed on May -. signed
by the Mayor June and went into effect on
August l. A few small taxcab combinations are
running their cabs the scale OF prices stipulated
in the ordinance. Most Of the cabs in the city
though, are doing business nightly at the good old
rates, under the protection Of an injunction

to make the customers pay handsomely-Or walk.
Their profits will be quite enough undoubtedly, TO

inance the legal fight. 1t is to be hoped the citys
law department force all these to an early
trial. The laws delays don't benefit the public.

A CONSIDERABLE SHOPPER
Work at Night and on Holidays Is
Condemned.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir The decision OF the Consumers
League of the City of New York 10 pro-
test to the public against the inhuman
practice of shopping at night. as an
nounced by The New-York Tribune, is a
splendid idea
With the cooperation of the moving
picture theatres throughout the city. a
vast amount OF good could be done in this
regard, since this appeal II thrown on the
screen would surely be read and consid-
cred by all.
Excessive hours of labor constitute a
very great menace TO health.
The league might also call the attention
OF the Iublic to the selfish practice of
shopping on holidays, instead of at other
times, since every purchase thus made
tends TO deprive the hard working en-
ployes of rest and recreation. Large re-
cepts on one holiday certainly keep stores
open on subsequent ones.
Success. long life and more power TO
Mrs. Frederick Nathan and all members
of the league who aided in the movement
referred to-

THE REGISTRATION NUISANCE
How It Might Be Abated in the View
of Reader.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Among my friends are several who
did not register, or who could not register
because of removal from one borough 70
another. This process of registration
always more tedious and irksome to the
voter. and. should judge. more expensive
TO the municipality than the actual vot-
ing-recurs year after year, apparently
without any further protest on the part
OF the electorate than the Sinking OF II
by the Indifferent element
The citizens who fail 10 register come
in for a great deal of abuse; but do not
blame them very much II the clerks at all
places of registration are similar to the,
worthless political job holders who fun
BILE and mess around in the overheated
barber shop where the voters of my own
district have to present themselves for
registration.
One of the members Of this ludicrous
board is actually deaf, and judge from
the way he handled his pen that his an
nual exercises in penmanship are largely
confined TO the registration period. He
kept an impatient line waiting while he
smeared and blundered over his sheets,
his associates bawling out TO him the
spelling OF some of the commonest names.
cannot say that this is a typical case,
but | have no doubt that il is far from
unique.
In several European countries books are
issued TO citizens for various purposes by
government bureaus. In France, for eX-
ample, such book is issued by the civil
M In
land drivers OF automobiles receive books
in which infractions of traffic regulations
are entered by the police. Why could not
registered voters book be issued BY
properly constituted authorities which
would permit the holder to vote at any
election in any part of the state in which
issued for a period OF, let us say, ten
years? In a book OF this kind identifying
entries descriptive of the recipient would
be made. 4 photograph would make iden-
tity certain.
Armed with such credentials. il would
be necessary only for the voter TO present
his book at the polling booth. where the
proper official would stamp, perhaps with
a time clock, the place and date of voting
in page and column of the book ar
ranged for that purpose. This would make
second vote at the same election impos-
sible-honest officials, of course, being
assumed.
l do not venture to assert that this or
hand suggestion offers the best pract-
cable solution Of the registration problem,
but / think it shows that a solution is
possible, and 1t seems to me that. If for
10 other reason than that OF the enor-
nous expense involved. the practicability
of eliminating what amounts to double
election should be taken into consider

THE END OF MURPHYISM
How the Impeachment of Sulzer Con-
tributed to the Result

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Impeachment has been a very eX-
penslve luxury for those who utilized II.
IL IS, indeed, difficult TO determine as to
who has been most seriously worsted-
the impeached or the impeachers. When
Governor Sulzer was arraigned by his
own partlsans In the Assembly before the
Court OF Impeachment the proceedings
were pushed with all possible speed so
as To obtain verdict before and have
the benefit OF II In the next election. The
result was obtained in due time and yes
terday those vicious and abominable pro-
ceedings were rebuked by one OF the most
Indignant expressions that has ever been
pronounced IN an American election. ana
every good citizen has reason to rejoice
over the result.

had merlted such proceeding, but be-
cause he was not obedient 10 political

DULLES AND THE BALLOT
Is a Mans House His Castle After
All?

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: A correspondent signing himself
"A Normal Man" says in to-day's Trib-
une. "a mans house is recognized In
law as his castle, of which he is lord and
master, and wherein he Is supposed TO

medieval an expression as Blackstone's
man and wife are one. and man is that

MILLIONS AND MEAT
The Fortune Of Chicago Packer
Stirs Reader

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In to-days paper | read with in
terest that Edward Morris. head Of the
Chicago meat packing company, leaves
millions" Mr. Morris's estate is esti-
mated at between 100000 and $50 00o, 900. -
Now the question that comes to my
mind is this: How much more would |
have to pay for meat If the estate had
been SlOO.0OD,O00 or how much less II IL
had been 100000?
When a company can make out of an
article Of food millions OF dollars. then
millions Of people have to pay millions of
cents more than they ought to pay. A
cent or two a pound makes great differ
ence in a workingman's family.
But perhaps the workingman does not
need meat. and ought to be content with
cereals and such.
