the making of the budget, the fixing

upon every issue OF the sort Mr..
Mitchell would be open minded at the
outset, and if in any instance he
should differ with his associates the
power Of final decision would lie with
them.
The reduction of it all is that we
now have the opportunity TO elect

a Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment that will continue without inter-
ruption Of policy the work of the pres
ent board, and to re-elect District

enough of his purpose and of his ability

charge Of the appropriation for a
particular department: "Your allow
fance for next year is SO much. Keep
within it"
One of the big problems OF the new
administration will be to establish a
more logical and businesslike method
of cutting the cost according to the
cloth In the past there has never
been harmonious working system
between chose officials of the govern
ment who spend the money and those
who authorize the raising Of it. The
Wilson administration has taken up
this problem early in list career and
is hopeful of devising more scien-
tific method.
And so it everywhere. The State,
as we'll as the city, is being warned
against a tendency to create debt
for others to pay. Many, tanporar-
ily in place, will vote for any measure
to spend money and then vote for
bond issue, expecting others to pur-
chase rhe bonds, when they them
selves, even when able, and not many
are, will not invest one cent in such
bonds. Essayists and Ireamers, in
order to exploit themselves, will not,
or do not, care to limit expenditures
in public matters. Paying only a linn
tied amount in taxes, they are will
ing to appear as paying much more.
Perhaps some would be willing to
pay little more, if in so doing, they
would be able to continue in the pub
lie eye, and their interest was intiu-
enced by the spirit of pro bono Dublico.

SMALL CAUSES OF STRIh Els.

The threatened strike on the Midland

only instance on record of big events
of the kind springing from similar
little causes.
A Leeds labor war was due TO The

garded as unsafe. At Sunderland a
foreman shipwrigha casually told a
workman to "hurrp up" and me inl-
piled reproof being resented, an unu-
suaIly bitter strike was the result. Al
Jarrow-on-Tyne workmen struck be-
cause they objected to The use of brass
checks.
There have been at least score OF
strikes, big and little, over the ques-
ton of whether girls should be per-
mitted to wear "fringes''in mills filled
with dangerous machinery. the &C
tual cause of the outbreak of the dis
astrous Taft Valley Railroad strike
was that couple of guards we're
compelled to change brake vans
against their will.
Because one of their number re-
scented being told by foreman to cut
his nails, some 300 working gold
smiths came out on strike no; long
ago. 1t was explained afterward that
it was customary for the operatives to
keep their nails pared close, as other
