The Increased Cost of Municipal Living

Under the head of "A Wealthy City" our es-
teemed predecessor, "The Aurora of Philadelphia,
just hundred years ago recorded:
BY the report Of the City Comptroller Of New
York it appears that the expenditures of the cor
poration of that city for the past year exceeded
hGI million dollars; met by the regular funds and
leaving a balance in the treasury.
The population of the city then was about 100000,
so that the budget So a head Now with a
population of 100000 we have budget Of 1892
100000, or about S35 head. And more than that,
the city now has debt Of more than $1,000 100000
and has to keep borrowing more and more for
public works
Certainly the cost of municipal living has in
creased tremendously; no less than sevenfold It
is true that the standard OF living has also risen
In public works and public service Of all kinds
we are now vastly advanced beyond the New York
Of 1914. But 1t is an interesting question for
economists whether our capacity for normal rev
enue production should not have increased in COM
parable ratio. that might still report that
the city's expenditures were met by the regular
funds and leaving balance in the treasury

THE SEX FILMS
They Are Declared To Be in Bad Taste
and Of Evil Influence.

ana OF Evil influence
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: have read with some interest the
letter of Flora Cantwell IN your issue OF
this date. without going into any lengthy
discussion regarding the social evil and
the present Juror against white slavery
beg 10 suggest that she and all other
white slave" agitators read the very in
telligent article by Havelock Ellis in the
current Metropolitan Magazine"
This opinion, written by man who
evidently knows what he's talking about,
is absolutely the most concise and note
worthy talk that has yet appeared.
I am a travelling man, who knows the
world and has been IN contact with its
many phases, and while not prude
believe that all this public discussion OF
sex is i'm very bad taste. The films which
are advertised as great moral lessons are
Instead great moneymakers. They do not
attract the girls who might profit by
them, but the morbidly curious better
(so-called) classes. who are always look
ing for sensations and just dote on pub
lie exhibitions Of disgusting topics

A CITY LOST AND FOUND BUREAU
Why Not Central Agency Serving the
Entire Public?

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Every day In the year, in city
like New York. thousands OF thousands OF
dollars worth of valuables are lost This
vast sum is not only lost by those that
have a permanent residence here, but also
by the strangers that continually flow
into our great city. Yet here, I'm this won-
derful and marvellous city, there is no
adequate means or effective remedy to
help recover these enormous losses. How
foolish is the present statute governing
the finding OF lost articles when II SAYS
that the finder must advertise that which
he or she has fourd, As If there was only
one medium read by all the people and
all the people read this one medium, and
would know exactly where 10 find the
advertisement concerning them. The
present method is not only very expensive,
purpose or find the loser.
Not through vanity. but a genuine de
sire for public benefit wish TO offer a
suggestion whereby 1t will help to bring
the finder and loser into closer contact
under ne guardianship OF third party OF
the strictest reliability. II put into prac-
tice ii would help to prevent the total loss
OF many who are unfortunate enough 20
be separated from their yaluables.
Let there be a department known as the
Municipal Bureau OF Lost and Found Ar
tces. This bureau can be self-supporting
by charging all persons recovering their
lost valuables per cent OF the value OF
the article, or percentage sufficient

TRI.PARTITE INTERVENTION
France, Germany and England Ar,
Urged to Step Into Mexico.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The manifest duty Of the trl-
partite powers, France. Germany and
England, is TO promptly step in and end
anarchy in Mexico. The chancelleries Of
all the civilized powers are aware of the
true condition of affairs in Mexico; there
need be no further hesitation-humanity
and modern civilization demand IT.
Our Monroe Doctrine is practically
vacated by the lack of vrility I'm its en-
forcement A firm and prudent ambassa-
dor was required for that purpose in Mex
leo City.
The vacation practically OF the Monroe
Doctrine renders it obligatory upon these
powers to act promptly and with discre-
ton. Let them so act

The Mayor on Police Clubs.

good deal has been said recently, as Mayor
Mitchell remarked TO the police school students -
about the Of the club-some of II sensible and
some OF 1t over.sentimental. There should he no
possible misunderstanding of what the adminisra-
ton desires and expects Of its policemen after the
Mayors talk TO the young patromen, either by the
man on the beat or the public. 1t could not be made
palmer that the club is not ornament but is in
tended for use-in protection Of the policeman and
in protection Of the public against desperadoes not
in attack on any citizen, whether crook or not who
does not resist arrest with violence.
If any policeman is not capable Of carrying out
these orders he should not remain on the force No
policeman who is not able and willing to use his
club wisely when occasion warrants is desirable as
member of the police force in this present day OF
grace-and gangs. It is unfortunate that the gang
men will not yield to moral suasion and reform: bur
they remain obdurate. It is much better for the
public to have the gangmen dubbed occasionally
than to be robbed or decmated by the ill-directed
bullets Of gang battles. Mayor Gaynor. with his
inevitable facility for flying to extremes protected
the gangs as well as the average citizen supposed
TO be in danger of police clubbers Mayor Mitchell
has taken the sensible mean and the public is glad
