She did not change her posture. But

DECISION
FAVORS STEEL
CORPORATION
DENIES GOVERNMENT PLEA TO
DISSOLVE THE UNITED STATES
STEEL CORPORATION A HIS
TORY OF THE SUIT.

Trenton y j., June 3--The United
States district court for New Jersey
handed down unanimous decision
refusing the petition Of the federal
government to dissolve the United
States steel Corporation.
As against the government the
court refused to dissolve the corpo'
ration, holding that in acquiring its
foreign and home trade the concern
did not violate the Sherman antitrust
act and refused all the injunctions
PRAYED for by the department OF JUS
tice.
As against the steel corporation,
the court held that the committee
meeting participated in by 20 per
cent of the steel trade of the country,
including the steel corporation, sub
sequent to the famous Gary dinners
OF eight or nine years ago, were un-
lawful combinations TO control prices
but as these meetings had stopped
before the government filed its com
plant in October 1911, the judges
held that there was no occasion for
an Injunction.
The opinion OF the court suggests
that such practices lie within the
proyince of the new federal trade
commission, but adds that If their
repetition is apprehended the court
will on motion OF the government
retain jurisdiction o; the case for
that particular purpose.
The following is history of the
governments suit;

Paris and Crime.

Paris is without crime. Alfred Capus,
writing in the Figaro" of which he is
the editor, says that the war itself,
which has called large part of the
criminal element to the front, does
not adequately explain the phenomenon.
He recalls the warning Of a magistrate
at the outbreak Of the war that one of
the great dangers "in the void created
by mobilization" would be the opportu-
nifty for violence offered apaches of four
teen, fifteen and sixteen years Of age.
But in five months there have been
recorded in Paris not more than two
or three really criminal acts. This
is ascribed 10 the absence Of a "spe-
cial atmosphere" which in times Of
peace encourages crime. "The criminal
instinct combined with the occasion is
not enough to produce crime" writes M.
Capus. "There is necessary a special
atmosphere, one heated with example,
with bravado, with the literature Of the
outer boulevard, where that instinct may
undergo an intensive cultivation"
The war has not only destroyed this
atmosphere, but it has set the criminally
inclined an example of severe discipline
in high places which has turned their
thoughts directly from anarchy. With

For a Small Board.

At almost the same time that the Board
Of Education was voting against the pro-
posed charter amendment to reduce its
membership from forty-siX to nine the
National Education Association at Gin
cinnati was reaffirming its belief in the
fundamental value of the small school
board. The Board Of Education, despite
its important powers and duties, is not
noted for the prominence and number of
educators in its membership. The Ma
tional Education Association is. The pub
lie, therefore, may be pardoned for taking
the opinion Of the experts in preference
to that Of the board which it is proposed
TO abolish.
The large Board Of Education is one
place where there is no strength in num-
bers. Rather there is weakness, inefi-
cheney and general loss to the public.
New York City, of all the large munich
palities in the country, is the one having
the largest Education Board and, there
fore, the weakest. It is one of the few
which have not accepted the small, COM
pact, efficient body Of from five to nine
members.
The power Of expert opinion is against
the retention of the big board here. The
testimony Of experience In many cities in
many states is against it. The city ad-
ministration desires TO make this change
The public manifestly supports the pro-
posal. 1t is to be hoped the Legislature
will heed the city administration and the
experts rather than the members Of the
board who object TO being deprived Of
that honor, even for the city's good.

Wbv the Tax Rate Is High.

There Is no surprise In the high TAX
rate for 1915. The Mayor and other
members Of the Board of Estimate nave
explained the big budget so frequently
+hat the reasons for this increase over
previous years rates-the growth OF Vhe
cost of the city's debt service, county
government charges and the hke-are
thoroughly understood.
Unfortunately the tax problems OF tho
city and state are interviewer. New 1orA
CITY will have to pay about 10 or 81 per
cent of the impending direct state tax
with consequent increase Of burden to us
nropertv owners. In recent years this
citv has been well governed, even
cheaply governed, so far as business
over which it had direct control was con-
cerned. It has been unable to regulate
charges f1xed by mandatory Legislation,
lust as IL will be unable TO change or
avoid the state tax, whatever 1t may be-
There is no present comfort In this for
the property owners who must yield the
money. Nevertheless they will do well 20

sponsibility for the high taxes may be
placed where It properly belongs and ap-

much as may be from interference by the

some OF the crosstown streets. If this
were done it would enable one 70 reach a
locality quickly and without unnecessary

A block in one avenue between any

For Public Debate
STUPIDITY OR WORSE"
Comment on Our Criticism of the Arget-
singer Bill

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Many thanks for your editorial on
the stupidity of the Argetsinger bill, which
would emasculate the Massachusetts, bal
lot and direct primary laws. If the Repub-
lican organization has not yet recovered
from the onetime stupidity which caused
it TO oppose efforts at election reform, it
is time for it to be reminded, as you have
done so well, that the public which forced
their passage has not retreated from its
belief in them.
What you have to say about the place
of the young man in the Republican party
is refreshing. The Republican party cam
not, however, merely by refraining from
interfering with some fairly good things
already accomplished, prove itself to be
the political home of many young voters
seeking their place. Its record so far this
year at Albany has been about as disgust
ing an exhibition of job grabbing as Tam
many ever presented.
There Is much talk of economy, but IL
hasn't resulted-so farm anything but
transfer of jobs from Democrats to Repub-
licans, at considerable cost in legislative
expenditures There has been much tinker
ing with laws, but no such reorganization
of the states business as private citizen,
convinced his own business was getting
mouldy, would put into effect. There has
been no declaration of policy from Gov
ernor Whitman or any party leader sufi-
cicntly clear and specific to show COM
prehensive knowledge Of what is wrong
with the states business, or sufficiently
filled with a -blooded, humanitarian in
terest in the material and political welfare
of the public at large to kindle the imag-
ination.
The young man is no more to be salts
fed with the job grabbing and lack of af-
frmative policy of those Republicans who
are in power now than he is with the Bour-
bon philosophizings of Mr. Barnes.
