"Reuther. sit up here close by

"Yes. mother; oh. yes. mother"
Deborah felt the beloved head pressed
close TO her shoulder and two soft
arms fall about her neck.

until he Is at last induced to believe
that he cannot afford to ignore such a
bargain. This is carried to such an
extent that a treatment" the original
price of which is $25, may be offered
at the end Of six months for $3.50.
AS a matter of fact the successful
treatment of tuberculosis requires
much more than the mere giving of
medicine and, moreover, what will help
one case will not necessarily help an
other. Claims that are absolutely IN
warranted are no longer permitted On
the labels of medicines shipped in in
terstate commerce, but the wording
may be such as to convey a mislead-
ing impression without the use of alb
solute statements. Thus these prepar-
atoms continue to find a sale despite
the fact that a little trouble on the
part of the prospective purchaser will
reveal their worthlessness.

A pretty little story of visits to
Mount Vernon on the Potomac-"im-
pressions and sentiments like yours

those who have seen our country's
greatest shrine.
Bound in colonial blue and buff,
with hand illumined cover design,

Illustrated with handsome half-tones
and pen drawings, it is a dainty and
invaluable reminder that will instantly
appeal to every person who has been
to Mount Vernon, while to those who
have not had that good fortune this
clever, happy little story of our be-
loved George and Martha gives a clear
er view and understanding of their
colonial home. which is today the pride
of Virginia and the Nation.
AS a souvenir or gift book, for young

the elegance of this little volume, and
it will make one feel more like a pa
triotic American to possess it.

Taxes and the Veto.


No matter what the Legislature does with
supply bills and other appropriations, Gov
ernor Whitman has the authority to cut out
amounts ne thinks ought to come out. With
his veto, which is applicable to particular
items, ne can hold the direct tax down to a
few millions or he can make sure that there
will be no direct tax at all.
The party penalty for piling a prodigious
tax burden on the backs of the people will
be the alienation Of tens Of thousands Of vot-
ers, who, after their Sulzer and Glynn. want
ed Republican Legislature and Republican
Executive back in Albany, but who, after an
unprecedented increase Of taxation, will not
be willing TO let them stay there.
The responsibility to the voters for making
the huge appropriations will rest upon the
members of the Legislature But the re-
sponsbility for letting those appropriations
be turned into law and then become oppres-
sive taxation will rest upon the Governor,
who can nail enough of them with his veto
to save the people of New York from an in
tolcrable burden.

What New York City Thinks.

Elsewhere on this page The Tribune
to-day prints extracts from the news
papers of this city upon the $4,000, 600
programme of the State Legislature. II
the Governor and the Republican leaders
in the Legislature were interested in the
views of New York City-as they plainly
are not-they might find food for refiec-
ton in the practically unanimous protest
of the local press.
Possessing the power, however, the
responsible Republicans at Albany are
plainly determined to employ it not wisely
but to the uttermost The dignifed and
reasonable protest of the Mayor has been
contemptuously thrown aside. The state
ment of the President of the Board of
Aldermen has been treated quite as
cavalierly. A party machine, having
adopted the principle 1--WE need the
money" is resolved to take it.
To what it has said on the subject The
Tribune can add little now. The plan
seems TO it immoral, the method crude
beyond anything "Murphy's Boys" adopted
in the days when they were in power and
used their opportunity for political
plumber.
AS for the part played by the Controller
of this city, beside it there Is dignity and
even glory in the role of the small boy
who let's the "big fellows" boost him
through the window into his mothers
cupboard in the hope of getting a share
of the jam he is thus to acquire.
Mr.. Prendergast's share of the jam is,
of course, upstate support for future polit-
icaI preferment. But to The Tribune it
seems unlikely that upstate Republicans
will be as prompt in the discharge of
their obligation as the Controllers own
constituency will be in paying off its
debt.

Juggling Figures and Facts.
FROM The Erenino Sun


In replying to Mayor Mitchel's analysis of
the states financial situation, which estab-
lished conclusively that there is no necessity
for the imposition of an s1s,O0O,O00 direct
state tax next year, Majority Leader Elon r.
Brown of the Senate failed to make the only
point that he could justly make against the
Mayor. He might have protested with all
propriety that since Mr.. Mitchell was elected
largely by Republican votes he should not
now interfere with the plans Of the Repub-
lican leaders to provide patronage to the
amount of s1s,O00,OO0 or more to be used in
waging their 1916 Gubernatorial and Presi-
Dental campaigns in New York State.
But Mr.. Brown did not do this. Instead
he committed the amazing blunder Of charg-
ing Mr.. Mitchell with juggling figures 10

Government by All the People.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In to-day's Tribune Marjorie Dorman
makes the assertion that bad as New York
may be in this respect speaking of the can
ncries bill, it is no worse than in three
states whore women vote"
We do not expect, even with the help Of
women, to elect men to the Legislature who
will make all laws to favor all women within
a few years time. at least.
In the states named by Marjorie Dorman
women have a voice in the election of every
man to office, from the county constable to
the President Of the United States In this
state only few women, upstate, can vote
on school questions and few on some other
questions, but they have no voice whatever
on the more important questions, such as the
election of Governor and President.

people. GEORGE VI. BEERBOWER.

The Mayor and the Governor.
(Fror The Times }


The townsmen of the Mayor, irrespective OF
party, will support him in his controversy
with the Governor regarding the finances OF
the state. His statement of the case is prac-
tically lawyers brief, appealing to the judg-
ment Of those reading il rather than to their
prejudices through party affiliations.
The Mayors proposal regarding the canal
is only PROVISIONAL a postponement for con-
sultation of the voters regarding final set
Element. But his argument regarding the
other items for which it is proposed to levy
this obnoxious tax is final.
A campaign which resulted in the success
of the party which promised economy is made
farcical by proposal to add S20,000,O00
TO a S500O0,0O0 budget. Some OF the addi-
lions are insulting to intelligence, apart from
the canal item, which is made the excuse for
the whole. There can be no excuse for rails
ing the appropriation bill. II there are un-
avoidable expenses which did not arise last
year, they ought TO be met by economies.
The supply bill ought to represent de-
fciencies. II really includes additions. The
payrolls are fattened, not reduced. There is
no need for building more roads than usual
this year, and none for building some roads
which ought TO be paid for from local funds,
or even in some cases from personal pockets.
The Mayor cannot be followed through all his
specifications, but enough have been given to
indicate the nature Of his argument and the
appeal he makes 20 men of sense.

The Spring Books.

In its literary department The Tribune
publishes to-day the first Of a series OF
articles on the publishers announcements
of their new publications for the spring
and early summer. That the influence of
the war on business conditions in this
country should be reflected to some ex-
tent in the publishing world was to be
expected, but on the whole it Is safe to
conclude that the worst is past, thanks,
chiefly, to the periodical nature Of the
publishing business, with its two seasons
of special activity, in early fall and early
spring. Thus our publishers and book
sellers were enabled last August to dis
count the slump which might result from
The outbreak of hostilities, with the result
that the new season finds the trade in far
better condition than was once expected.
The number of new books announced is
less than usual, but, in viey, Of the com
plants of overproduction heard in recent
years, this is perhaps matter for congratu-
lation rather than regret.
The spring publishing season has al
ways been marked by predominance of
the lighter over the more serious forms of
literature, which are reserved for autumn
and winter This year is no exception to
this rule. Fiction leads in numbers, and,
to a certain extent, in Importance. For
the present season has already been
marked by the rise Of several new Ameri-
can novelists of notable performance and
even greater promise for the future; and
our publishers confidently promise more
meritorious youngsters yet to come. The
books of the war have overshadowed in
numbers and interest all other branches
of literature during the last six months
Henceforth, it is to be expected that, if
decreasing in quantity, these books will
gain in serious quality-that they will be
the work of serious military and diplo-
matte historians, no longer that of in
famed patriots and partisans.
Most important among these announce
ments to us in this country are the books
on our national defence on land and at
sea, and on our present and future status
in the group of the worlds great powers
whose realignment will be one of the re-
suits of the peace TO come
