City Rents for Upstate Politicians.

President McANENY foresees for
New York city tax rate Of 215 In
1916 II the Legislature and the Gov
ernor adhere to the wasteful fnan-
cial programme for the State to which
they are now committed. This rate
means increased rents, higher price
for commodities. monumental boost
ing Of the cost Of living.
For what purpose is the money
thus raised to he used?
Ostensibly FOR the maintenance Of
State enterprises: actually for the
creation Of the Republican State or
ganizat ton that ID to elect delegates
to the Republican National Conven-
ton. carry the State primaries, and
conduct the campaign for the cleo
ton Of Republican candidates at the
polls in November.
Since January I the creation Of
this organization has absorbed the
attention Of the Republican Execu-
tive. the Republican majorities In
Senate and Assembly. the party lead
ers throughout the state. For its
benefit the ripper bills that even their
sponsors have ceased to describe
euphemistically as "reconstructive''
have been written on the books. In
its behalf every opportunity for econ
omy has been ignored. To further II
the inequalities and iniustices that
burden more than half the popula.
ton OF the State have been preserved
and new ones have been devised. The
all sufficient explanation, defence and
recommendation Of any proposed
measure has been that 1t will asst 81
in the campaigns Of next year.
It is unfortunately true that the
city cannot prevent the outrage tina,
the State Is preparing for II. But II
can understand that outrage. It's plar
and Its object: and there will come
a day when the planners Of this ex
plotation will reap the reward Of
their betrayal Of public trust ir
furtherance Of their personal and pc
litical ambitions.
