Mayor" That was to make the para
graph read right As a matter Of fact,
Sunday was delayed while at the City
Hall. The mayor was upstairs listen
ing to hearing on the marginal rail
way bills, and Sunday had to wait un-
til he came down. In the meantime
Theodore Rousseau, the Mayors sec
rotary, met him, and he was also in
troduced to former Representative
Herman A. Metz. Dock Commissioner
r. A. c. Smith and Mrs. J. Borden Har-
riman and her daughter
When the Mayor got down and
greeted Sunday, the evangelist said to
him:
well, it's interesting to meet a man
that rules five million people"
Are you coming over to help US rule
them? I'm sure you could. We'd be
glad to have you come" answered the
Mayor, whimsically.
II don't know" Sunday shook his
head 81 don't know whether | could
help you or not"
Silent on the Tango.
"Come on, Pa. You know don't
want TO be in the movies" laughed
Ma in a very nervous fashion.
The preacher found out Mayor
Mitchell was an enthusiastic terpsichor-
can devotee, but did not comment on it,
other than to smile broadly. Sunday
mas already declared his idea of the
tango and other fashionable dances IN
no milk and-water words.
The visit to the president OF the Ma
tional League was the last thing on
the bill. Sunday was dripping with per
spiration after his exertion during his
talk, and Ma was tired, and said she
wanted to lie down. SO the couple re-
NAMED only few minutes in CONVEX
sation with Governor Tener. who was
having a confab with his umpires over
a lunch table.
Bill KLEIN, "the Demon; Bill Byron,
Al Orth, Bob Emslic, Bill Hart, Charlie
Rigler and George Cockhill, a new man,
were all there. The greeting between
Sunday and Governor Tener was
marked by utmost cordiality. The Gov
ernor put everybody in a good humor
right away by telling how day before
yesterday, in Philadelphia, one news
boy mistook him for Jess Willard, and
another turned in scorn and said:
"Shucks, dat amt Willard, OATS Cor
bett!"

stewardship for fifteen months last
night.
II was az a dinner arranged for the
purpose at the Aldine Club by, the
committee of 107, which selected the
fusion ticket in 1913. o.,
Making the principal speech with an

Then 1t would be a question OF less

Controller Prendergast and President
McAncny both steered clear OF any

Of a direct state tax. The Controller
did. however. undertake to explain why
the Legislature did not pass certain

Warns on Direct Tax.
After speaking Of the forces that
brought about the fusion adminlstra..
ion and taking up the achievements OF
tho departments under his control, the
Mayor took up general problems the
most important being that OF hhahce'
past, future and present.
"By suggestion and by direct state
mont this administration has been
charged by its enemies with extravs a,
cancc." he said. What is the truth ??
The Mayors departments, he said
were operating on an annual OASIS
$1,000. 900 lower than last year. The
administrative cost of the budget Gov
cring these departments, the borough
presidents and the Controller had been
reduced in the budget of this year

In spite Of that saving. the budget
had been increased over last year by

and other things that could not well
be avoided.
Then he delivered this warning
against a direct state tax:

Sunday Calls New York

By ROSALIND T. DUNKIN.

"If ever get too old to preach, I'm

Billy Sunday as he sped along with
Ma Sunday yesterday morning in
limousine bound for New York. "Why,
the most independent man in the world
is the farmer! But first | want TO teach
as many folk as | can how to get their
feet on the DEVILS neck and stamp him
out" And Sunday shook with fervor
and enthusiasm as he said it.
ooh, but, Ma, isn't it just great!
Why, look over there-see those
patches of green grass and the buds on
those bushes and isn't the air great?
| tell you, Ma, there's nothing like

every increase. even those due 20 the
new financial policy. by saving or a
reduction. so that our budget and our
tax rate in 1916 would not go up, we're
it not for the proposed direct state
tax. II your tax bill in 1919 is higher
than that in 1915. you will know that
il Is due TO the levy that the state may
make upon us this year :.
Explaining the new financial policy
entered into by the city by which 1t u
planned to pay-as-yop-go, the Mayor
said:
AT the time when We negotiated the
500 600 600 loan of last September, we
declared q new financial policy. we
declared that we would hereafter carry
in the tax budget of the city, in IN
creasing proportion, the cost of perma-
nent public improvements Of a non
self-sustaining character until, at tne
expiration Of four years, we .woulo
carry in the budget the entire cost oil
such imp ovements.
This is a radical departure from the
city's former policy. IL viii, OF course
add In the immediate future large
sums TO the budget of the city. 1t was
necessary, however, as step TO pro
tect the credit of New York. II puts
the city, for the first time in its his
tory. upon a pay-as-you-go basis.
AIN the course of number of years
the reduction in debt service on &C
count of non-self- Sustaining improve
ments will more than balance the year
ly sum which the city must carry or
account of the quota of such improve
ments for the current year.
"The new policy did not affect the
budget of 1915. The first budget which
will feel its effects will be that of mex
wear. We must write into that budget
one-duarter of all improvements au.
thorized during 1915, and an additional
sum TO pay interest and amortization
charges upon the ffteen-year seria
bonds to carry the balance. In the fol
lowing year still larger sum must be
carried in the budget, for then one-hali
the cost of all improvements author
lied in 1916 will be carried directly IN
the tax budget; in the following year
three quarters, and so on"
After making the budget OF 1915, the
Mayor went or 10 say, they would have
reiIced the cost Of running the de-
partments as far as il would be posi-
BILE to do on the basis of the present
service. The city then would face this
problem, he said:
UNLESS the people are willing to &C
cept a higher tax rate upon real prop
erty and to carry the increased cost
Of the direct state tax in 1916. and OF
the new financial policy in 1917 and
subsequent years as charge upon
real estate, the government Of this city
must either reduce its activities and
the service which II now gives to the
people or develop new sources OF
municipal revenue. ..
"If the people are willing TO submit
to the reduction of service by eliminat--
ing such activities as the recreational
work of the city, a part of the health
protective work, q material part of the
educational work. we might perhaps
succeed IN reducing the budget by sew
eral million dollars. But even this, in
my judgment, would fail to balance the
inevitable increases of the next four
or five years"

More Revenue Needed.
The alternative, he said. would be Il
develop new sources of revenue, and q
special commission was now working
on that question.
Speaking of the necessity Of home
rule. the Mayor said: Real home rule
New York will never get from the
Legislature. We will 60 to the Con-
stitutional Convention this year, how
ever. with a demand for home rule
fortified by constitutional provision
a demand which will not be expressed
by the voice Of this city alone, but
will be dinned into the ears Of the
Constitutional delegates by the united
voices Of ffty-four cities Of this state
The Mayor referred to the difficulty
the city had had in getting Legislation
it desired. Referring to the bill that
would give TO the Board Of Estimate
and Board Of Aldermen the same con
troll over the numbers and salaries OF
city and county employees 1t now has
over those in departments solely under

The bill is still in committee. | am
toll it will not pass because of opposi-
ton of city employees. II has come to
the point when the organized city
employees are stronger at Albany than

taxpayers combined.
Every administration developed OPP

had some bitter critics, who have not
hesitated TO deliberately lie about the
acts of this administration" he con
tinued Eve have had some other critics
who, through mistake or lack Of un-
derStanGing Of the facts, have charged
extravaganza and failure to protect
the interests Of the taxpayer. We have
been compelled to repel the insidious
attacks of those who are constantly
alert to break down the effectiveness
Of the laws framed 10 protect the PEG
