REPRESENTATION FOR POPULA-
TON.
Not the Rule Now, but Should Be
Under New Constitution.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Permit me to make one sugges-
ton to the Democratic platform COM
mittee i'm Saratoga. This committee
should recommend to the delegates to
the constitutional convention the abOli-
ton of Article 3, Section ( of the con-
stitutiou, which deprives greater New
York representation in the state Legis-
lature according to population. As the
Republican party in its platform adopt
ed last week in Saratoga reailirmed
Article 3, Section ( OF the constitution,
1t shows clearly that the Republicans
DO not want greater New York TO con
troll the state Legislature
The political condition IN the .egis-
lature to-day is as follows: Assembly
men, 1850 II outside of greater New
York, 80 from greater New York; SEN
ators 81 20 outside Of greater New
York and % from greater New York.
The population Of the state last census
was 9,1l3,6lI. and the population of
the greater city i.766.ss3. the differ
ence in favor of the greater city 420 i52
in population. IT, budget OF the State
Of New York for 1913 was S5l 200 900,
aud that of the greater city of New
York $l92 900 900: therefore you can
see according TO population and wealth
greater New York should have a ma

THE FREE TRADE FALLACY
A Protec ZIONIST Snatches an Argument
from the Enemy.
.r of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Sunday Times" OF the ODD
inst. contains these words: "The pro-
tectionist theory that a high tariff on
imports fosters home manufactures Is
shaken by the fact that a European
war which began less than month
ago has already deprived our markets
of supplies of many chemicals which
might easily be produced in this coun-
try"
Nothing has been said by any advo-
cate Of protection that shows the short
sightedness Of the free trade or anti
protection policy. It is the best illus
tration of what Henry Clay and Horace
Greeley taught that has been In print.
Those two great advocates OF protec-
tion fully realized that 10 was only de-
vcloping our own resources that would
prepare us for just such emergencies
as this.
When the protectionists have advo-
Gated q tariff on those very articles
which we can produce The New York
Times" and THE Philadelphia Record
and other free trade advocates assailei
the policy as one Of robbery and ia
vOritism. OSCAR JEFF KEY.

Is SOCIALISM ANNOTATED!
A Prophecy of Its Future When the
Smoke of Battle Is Cleared Away.
To the Editor oil The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Writing in the Special Feature
Section of The Sunday Tribune, Profess
sor Samuel p. Orth ends an Illuminating
article on socialism as follows: THE
socialists have not stopped the war.
VIII the war annihilate the social
its?"
After a careful examination one fails
to find the slightest justification FOR
Professor 0rth's question. II the
churches and the Christian religion
were substituted for "the socialists
his statement and his question would
appear neither more nor less foolish.
II instead of 1.-THE socialists" the words
Capitalism, Imperialism and milltar-
ISM were used the question would APP
pear to be prompted by sound thinking
and could with great certainty be an
swered in the affirmative. As these three
factors have made the present conflict
not only possible but inevitable II IS
easy to see where the weight of final
retributlOn must fall.
The future of socialism is secure.
Instead of being destroyed by the war
IL seems far more probable that after
the smoke of battle has cleared away the
socialists Will come 70 the IfOhI ana
will replace the former mockery Of
European civilization with the only or
der that can forever guarantee peace,
cooperation and human brotherhood.
OF one thing we may be certain;
the world is blessed or burdened with
a conscience just as surely as is the
individual. And as the individual, after
a mortal sin. often shows his penitence
by a radical change in his life for the
better. so the world, when it has
emerged from its present orgy OF de
struction. is bound 20 react in favor Of
vital changes for the better. Whether or
not such changes shall result in the
establishment of socialism, we may be
sure that they will constitute big
step in that direction.

Biennial Legislative Sessions

The Democratic platform makers want "a ben
niaI session of the Legislature II there were no
chance for improvement in legislative processes
this might be considered reform There is DO
question that at present the state is douG'd under
I'M drawn. mcou~idcrcd, menforccabIc laws ON

businesses endcavoring to be lawabiding. LIm-
tation of the lawmakers chance for activity would
lessen the damage.
What the state needs worse than fewer sessions
tbourb. is better lawmakers Biennial sessions
Will not necessarily provide them. The ,ure>t way
toward legislative reform is TO have % small Leg
isIaturc with members elected for long terms, at
good salaries. Good men could then be induced 30
become legislators and the public might have rea-
son to expect something resembling expert service
and DISTINGUISHED work. The constitutional con
vention might better take mp legislative reform
on this line than a discussion Of two-yearly meet
ings Of the same old unwieldy outfit of youths
and political hangcrsOn.
