Direct Tax of Only S0.OOO.'
600 Would Leave $1,000

IF LEGISLATTRE
SHOWS PRUDENCE

ALuASY. Npril 5-An impartial analy-
sis of the conditions of the states
finances makes IL plain that II the
Whitman administration will provide a
direct tax Of only 100000 to meet
the next fiscal years sinking fund re-
quiremonts there will be a surplus OF
81 900, 900 in the State treasury on
october l. 1916. unless this Legislature
should provide new forms vi expendi-
,ute
This means that there ~ no need for
this Legislature to hunt mp new sources
of indirect revenue.
As tho close OF the legislative session
draws near the leaders Of the majority
in both houses are beginning TO rerog-
nize that they must concede something
to public sentiment and that they must
e.t away from the predicament in which
they were placed by the unfortunate
wording Of the Governors message on
the states finances.
Some ~ them realize that the financial
programme to be adopted this year
must he born OF public necessity and
cannot be exploited for political advan-
tage on all sides there seems 90 be
willingness 10 avoid unnecessary tax
alton, which many OF the leaders have
come 10 believe would result disastrously
FOR their party. Those who are en-
trusted with the working out of the
financial programme are putting forth
different methods Of the problem OF
Tightening the burden for taxpayers.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-04-07

There are certain questions 90 fact
which must be determined before a
solution satisfactory TO the public can be
reached Tn, problem which confronts
the Legislature is twofold. First what
provision must he made that has not
been made for tho present fiscal year
ending next september 80 and, Sec
oud, what provision must ne made for
the fiscal year beginning October
next.
The Official estimate Of the Comp
trull,r placed the revenues for the
present fiscal year a. SiS. 100000. The last
monthly haltnCa sheet of the State
treasury shows that the revenues from
iudircc, taxes have fallen on approx

Not 'Paint

The worst mistake in painting is not putting
off That costs about 10 percent; you keep
your money year and pay 10 percent for it.
Paint would have to come-down 25 percent
to make 10 percent the job. for wages do
not down.
The worst mistake is "cheap" paint. 1t
costs from SO percent to 100, first cost, and an
other in wear.
What liar "cheap" is! "Put-off'' is bad
enough; "cheap'' is ten times worse.

SEGREGATION AND REGULATION.
IF we are to have a segregated dis

have one that fills it's mission, which
is, the protection of the public health

is as UNANIMOUSLY insistent as some
men claim, then let us frankly face
this situation " .-.@ ...
Let us establish segregated dis
trict out in the light and sunshine,
along some boulevard perhaps, not in
a filthy, hileous, squalid, dark corner
of the city, as has always been done.
If it is a necessity. as its patrons
claim. why this secrecy and shame?
But let us insist that all prostitu-
ton be confined to this district. It
must in fact as well as in theory pro-
tect the public. Let US make it a
criminal offense to solicit outside Of
this district. Let US, with righteous
indignation, speedily punish all Of
tenders, especially men offenders,
who formerly have been so Ieniently
dealt with by their sympathetic
brother administrators of the law.
We know from experience the dis
eases and evils that follow in the
wake of such a district, even unto
the third and fourth generations.
Against these we must be heroicaIly
on our guard, putting aside all inner
tied pretudices and conventionalities.
This district must be managed

MORE THAN 2.OOO INCREASE IN LOCAL
 SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

There are 2,O2O more pupils in the public schools now than at this time last year. an increase of 519 since the opening day in September. More than dozen rooms in the First grade have geen placed on half time because there is not room enough to accom- modate all the pupils. A great in crease in the number of pupils in the First grade in the parochia1 schools is also reported.
 The high school enrol1ment also shows an increase. There are 1,219 pupils there as against 1,004 last year. Because of the many persons employed at night work the registra- ton at the night schools is much smaller than for several years past.

SAYS HE HAS CURED
 96 BLIND CHILDREN

New York, Nov. s-Dr. William Martin Richards, who voluntarily treated 14S of the pupils in the city s blind school centers, has reported to the Society of Medical Jurisprudence that 96 of tho pupils have been cured of blindness. Dr. Richards states that from his examination of the chill sdren he is convinced that two-thirds of the pupils in the schools for the blind are not blind but can be made to see well enough to read print.
 The physician declares that four fifths of the 3,00O,000 annually ex- pended here on the re-education of deficient school children can be saved by proper inspection and examination of the eyes by competent specialists.
