Out of the Public's Pocket.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has much justifca-
ton for its campaign TO have the socalled full
crew law repealed by the next Legislature. This
statute costs this line more than $1,000O00 year
for the employment of men whose services the
officials consider unnecessary to the operation of
the road to the safety of passengers. The other
railroads IN the state bear like burden.
The money thus spent would contribute much
more to safety if it were spent in improving road
bed and rolling stock and removing grade cross
ings. All railroads being hard hit by existing
financial conditions that they endeavoring
to raise freight and passenger rates 1t seems
foolish to compel by law huge expenditure an
nually the wisdom of which is doubtful, when
the money to pay for IT must come so directly out
Of the public's pocket.

The Registration Figures.

II is natural that the registration for MahhaV
tan should fall off by comparison with last year
and the years preceding More and more what Is
now New York County is being given over TO Dusl-
ness uses to the exclusion Of residences Large
sections of downtown Manhattan which Few
years ago produced heavy vote now are mostly
loft and manufacturing districts.
That however, does not explain the fact that
the registration total in The Bronx was only l5OO
above last years in Brooklyn less than 500 above
in Queens only 100 above These are counties In
which population is growing-in Queens and The
Bronx very rapidly The unavoidable conclusion
is that the voters are not taking a great deal OF
interest in this campaign. 1t may be that the war
dominates the public mind to the exclusion of
cares about government The fact remains that
thousands Of persons eligible to vote have volun-
tarily failed to qualify themselves to do so.

THE HOPKINSON SMITH PLEA
A National Remembrance Against
Hague Violations Is Urged.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | want to indorse the petition
to the President by Hopkinson Smith
and others regarding the dropping of
bombs upon non-combatants.
Upon this petition from his fellow
countrymen surely the President can
act, and be strictly within the bounds OF
neutrality; if not, let Congress do so (;
failing this, let monster petition OF
remonstrance by American citizens be
forwarded to the belligerents.
Americans at personal sacrl-
fce-are gladly giving to supply Bel
gian needs; but we do not forget that
meantime Belgian money is being
poured into German Golfers to aid in
repeating this same course with other
nations. II, then, while opening our
purses, we are not men enough to voice
a national remonstrance, at least
against violations of the Hague Con-
vention, we are assuredly either fools
or poltroons and deserve TO be-as we
undoubtedly are-the laughing stock of
the Bernhardis of the world, into whose
hands we are playing.

The Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In these days of John Bulls
fear and trembling it will probably
occur to Britons in the watches of the
night that England's conduct to Ireland
was foolish as we'll as criminal. A
prosperous, self-ruling Ireland, united
in bonds of equality to England, would
have a population of at least 30,000,00O
not to speak of other millions through
out the world, all lending their aid in
this crisis. AS il is, there ares at least
50,000,000 Irish throughout the world
loathing England as no nation was ever
loathed. thrilling with joy at every Ger
man success and hoping with all their
hearts for John Bulls utter annihila-
ton. Who can blame them? Why
should they rot want 20 see John Bull

revenue receipts had been deposited in
them since 1863, but since 1866 they
had not been checked out till February
1, 1913. Before using the deposits the
government: had had them transferred
from the banks to the Sub-Treasury.
In January, 1907, began to agitate
the question of depositing customs re-
CENTS in banks and checking against
public deposits instead of withdrawing
them. Except at New York and eight
other Sub Treasury cities and Wash.
ington, disbursing officers of the United
States checked out TO some extent such
deposits of public money as were made
with banks. The act of March 4, 1907,
authorized deposits of customs receipts
in national banks. Secretary COrtelyou
then directed every collector of Gus
toms, except at Sub-Treasury cities and
Washington, to make such deposits. To
remove the discrimination against tho
ten principal cities of the United
States, | went to Washington and
stayed there fifteen months, incessant-
~ urging that the law should be car
ried out. In respect to these cities 1t
was dead letter during two years Of
Roosevelt's administration and the
whole of Taft's administration, not
withstanding my constant agitation.
Finally, Secretary Franklin MacVeagh,
prince of procrastinators, signed the
necessary order on March 3, 1918. 1t
arrived in New York the next day, and
on March 5, under the present admin,
istratlon, customs receipts were depos.
tied with New York banks for the first
time since Folks administration, when
depositing public money in banks was
made a felony.
At present all kinds of government
receipts are deposited in banks, and
public deposits are checked out of all
he regular depositary banks. Incon>
venience, distress and confusion have
resulted from withdrawing public de-
posits, but not from checking them
out. Therefore some S75,000,000 Of
public deposits in national banks are
available. Besides this good money,
the United States Treasurer and dis.
bursting officers have about 100000 900
20 their credit in the Treasury. If all
these funds, together with the current
receipts of the government, are not
sufficient to meet its current expenses,
the Secretary of the Treasury is au-
thorized by the act of June 10, 1928, TO
borrow from time to time, at rate Of
interest not exceeding 3 per cent per
annum, such sums as in his judgment
may be necessary, and to issue certifi-
Gates of deposit, provided their amount
shall at no time exceed 100000 600.
In addition, the Secretary IS authorized
by another act TO borrow S240, 100000
and issue Panama bonds therefor 1T
the same rate. Nomirally he has S515.-
100000 at his disposal over and above
current receipts. Certainly Secretary
McAdco ought to get through somehow
on that till the next session without
new taxes. JAMES c. HALLOCK.

TREATIES WITH GERMANY
A Reader Doubts the Utility of Our
Making Them.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When we consider that the Ger
man government through its Chancel-
Tor declares that treaties are only
scraps of paper, and are not binding
unless the German government so de-
sires, isn't it waste of time for our
Secretary of State, Mr.. Bryan, to be
making new peace treaties with such a
government? How are we TO know
when they cease TO be binding?
Germany has thus far broken every
treaty that stood in the way of her
military machine, and there is no rea-
son to suppose that she will respect
Mr.. Bryan's SCRAPS of paper" any
more than she did Belgium's.

HOUSE DECIDES ON
 SPECIAL TAX BILL
Will Levy Tax on GaSoline-NO Tax on Freight As Was
 Formerly Planned

WASHINGTON Sept 15.-Aban. donug the proposed tax on freight transportation, the Democrats of the house caucus agreed to war reve- nue measure, which wlH include the Spanish war stamp tax on commercial and legal papers, Spanish war taxes on bankers, brokers, theatres, and other amusement places, a tax of two cents gallon on gasoline and O special tax on tobacco manufacturers and dealers and on domestic wines and beer.
 They adopted a resolution directing the ways and means committee to draft bill along these lines, Presi- dent Wilson having approved the plan at a conference with Majority Leader Underwood and Senator Simmons late today. The committee was also given authority to revise the details of the Spanish war tax in it's discretion.
 uthusiasm marked the caucus which was more generally attended than suy Democratic conference since the beginning of the present congress. Underwood announced the proposed bin would yield an estimated revenue of SlO5 100000
