THE RosENWALD TAX MESS

Roy o. West, chairman of board of
review, came out flatfooted against
placing full cash value assessment
on the LAT, FOL shares of Sears-Roe-
buck stock held by julius Rosenwald.
Hayden Bell, assistant states at
torney, argued for an assessment at
20 per cent of full value or $780,
900. The board took the matter un-
der advisement.
West argued with Bell that the
value of the capital stock depends on
the genius and managerial ability of
julius Rosenwald and said:
what would the stock be worth
after Mr.. Rosenwald had sold it and
withdrawn his personality from the
business? This tax proposed would
be tax on genius and /, for one, am
not ready to make such an assess
ment."
Bell argued that the Standard Oil
Co. would escape taxation if it's as
sessments were viewed in this way.
Sydney Adler, the Rosenwald at
torney, said his clients taxes last
year amounted to. $4,000 on $780,
900.

What Direct Election ACCOmplishss.

The REV York Independent continents upon
the noiseless entrance" OF a great reform in
the election OF United States senators by direct
vote OF the people, for the first time in the his
tory OF the republic. and, observing the results,
reminds US again that no ingenuity OF political
machinery can raise the waters OF popular gov
eminent higher than their source All that any
OF these reforms in methods OF choosing public
officers can do, Il tells us, is to make II more
certain that the majority will rule. Quoting
from the Independent:
Neither direct election nor the direct primary nor
tho initiative the referendum nor the recall nor
proportional representation any other piece OF ma

Direct election 10 expected to make the SEN
ate more responsive to public sentiment, but to
what extent 1t will do so remains to be seen.
The senate, as q matter OF fact, has been A.
least as responsive as the house. although per-
haps a little less subservient to executive
domination. What direct election has ac-
complished, however, and sometimes generally
overlooked, is the freeing of the legislatures Of
the different states from the distraction OF
lengthy and costly senatorial contests and the
removal of the necessity OF the people being
guided by senatorship considerations IN choos,

Commission Form for buffalo.

After four years campaign OF education,
the people OF Buffalo have adopted the commits
sion form OF city government. Presumably all
OF it's phases we're carefully considered. so that
they are thoroughly understood and the people
know exactly how TO proceed to get the best
results. II this four-year campaign OF educa-
ton were conducted with that object In view
and not merely TO secure adoption OF the plan.
Buffalo may claim to have an advantage over
many cities that took up the scheme with no
such elaboration
For there is no denying the many strong
and eommendable features in this form OF mu-
ncipal management, although like every
scheme of government. the most important point
in It is the selection of the men to administer
It. In word. this plan. like every other. IL. as
The Bee has always commended. as good as the
personnel and no better. II Buffalo can do
what many cities before II have utterly failed
to do, namely. so operate the method OF aelee,
ton as TO secure the best and most efficient
men available TO run the eitSs business. then
1t can safely count. We think, on getting more
out OF the commission government than any city
has yet done. ~
Whether this chiefest of tasks will prove any
easier for Buffalo is another question Buffalo
with its population OF more than 500, OOO max.
ing IL the largest city yet to adopt the commits
sion plan, may find the matter OF proper seIee-
ton quite as perplexing as the rest OF course.
many argue that there is never any real reason
why any city should not secure the most desir-
able men for its public offices. but then every
one who has given the subject very close study
knows better than that Dreams OF the ideal
are yet 10 he realized under commission gov

as the unreasonableness OF the claims. After

Talk Of Mediation.

Bernard Shaw, the great literary free lance
OF England. has evidently failed to arouse az
much enthusiasm as might be expected by his
appeal in the London National to President VIII
son to seek European peace through the medium
OF a conference with other rautral powers is
suing a request to both allies and the Germans
to withdraw from Belgium to do their fighting
on their own soil. Ideally, this seems, not only
an easy, but an altogether glorious thing to do,
but practically is chimera. Suppose President
Wilson acted on Bernard Shaw's suggestion. in
vited other neutral nations to a conference and
they accepted and the Joint appeal was made
what then. Suppose the appeal we're rejected,
as in all human probability IL would be- where
would that leave the self-appointed mediators.
especially the United States? Hardly in as good
position to bring about peace when the time is
ripe before.
Neither Bernard shaw's plan, nor that OF the
Holland newspaper--which suggests that Queen
Wilhelmina confer with President Wilson on
the matter Of proferring mediation---is apt to
arouse enthusiasm now. for the simple reason
that the time is not yet propitious AS the great
power best situated to act In this capacity at
the proper time. the United States Is certainly
not going to impair the potency OF It's prestige
uselessly. President Wilson soon after the war
was begun, made the only kind OF an offer which
has thus far seemed possible, but Il remains
pigeonholed in the various archives of the Euro
pean monarchs. who when the spirit moves
them. have the privilege OF accepting It.
