UNFAIR COMPARISONS

Making comparisons Of things
that are not comparable, is danger
GUS and unfair. For instance, COM
pairing the municipal expenses Of
Washington with the municipal costs
Of other cities is unfair because the
two things are not comparable.
The municipal government Of the
District Of Columbia represents and
performs for this town all the func-
tions that for, say, the city Of Mil
waukee, are performed by the gov
ernment of the city of Milwaukee,
the county of Milwaukee, and the
State Of Wisconsin. Also, it per-
forms important functions, for this
community, that in Milwaukee are
performed by the Federal Govern
ment.
The bills for all these expenses are
charged against Washington as city
government costs. Thus city gov.
ernment costs here more than in
many other cities; but it does more
The county levy, the State levy, Of
other communities are unknown
here; they are all included in the
city taxation.

to the disadvantage Of this town, BY
using census figures and other sta
tistics on city government expenses

are getting all the elements int

What Scandal la

Of 1candal, the New Republic writes: There are few of us who do not enjoy this sense of really knew. Ing what's what. It extends our ex. perience. and gives us vicarious i'm. portance. If we cannot live great passions. we can at least read about Mme Du Barry's bt,udoir: if we can. not be smart, we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge of the smart set. The moral earnest ness and deep attention which people will devote to discussing other peo. ple's domestic affairs suggests that gossip Is perhaps genuine primi- tive art in whick there Is interest through pity and fear and pride and Joy. One woman leaves her husband; . hundred women chatter about 1t, and their passionate interest might make . cynic wonder whether they are not living through all the emo tons of great adventure without the risk of moving away from their own steam radiators. Gossip is ex. perience without responsibility. It is . means of taking part in inter esting or important events without any of the risk that comes of being m actor in them. Gossip, in short. b tho pleasure of the spectator at tks husinesn c, )ife."
