Hughes Would Protect the Country

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: We, here, are ready for the
fray two weeks from to-day. The peo-
rle generally see in Hughes a vigorous
policy in protection in two ways at
least-protection to life and property
and protection TO the nations people
in trade by a protective tariff, with
money turned loose so as to encourage
improvement in all lines, and the la
borer receiving ample pay and his din
ner pail fully supplied, and the kids at
home happy and contented.
The defence of our great country
would be properly organized and the
people as a whole completely American
lied, unhyphenated. Hughes is the
man to do this. Wilson has signally
failed in both ways. Hughes has proved
what he is, while Wilson has proved
his inability properly to do anything
except to set note snares for the I'M
wary. j. l.. SfKlNOS loN'

On a Sound Basis

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Hughes declares that he
wants a Republican House and Senate
elected in order 10 put American pros
perity on a sound basis. His chief aids
in the event OF a Republican victory
will be Penrose, Gallinger, Uncle Joe
Cannon, Du Pont, Smoot, etc.
They would put prosperity on a very
sound basis indeed!

Mr.. Wilson's Brokep Pledges

President Wilson went into office
pledged to decrease Federal taxation
and reduce Federal expenditure. The
Democratic national platform of
1912 contains this paragraph:
eve denounce the profigate
waste Of money, wrung from the
people by oppressive taxation
through the lavish appropria-
tons of recent Republican Con-
crosses, which have kept taxes
high and reduced the purchasing
power of the peoples toll. We
demand a return TO that SIM
plicity and economy which BELTS
a Democratic government and a
reduction in the number of use
less offices, the salaries of which
drain the substance Of the peo-
pie"
The final section Of the platform
also said: "Our pledges are made to
be kept when in office as we'll as re-
lied on during the campaign"
What a touching fidelity TO this
promise to lower taxation and to re-
duce expenditure has been shown by
Mr.. Wilson and the last two Demo
cratic Congresses The appropria-
tons Of the last Congress which the
Republicans controlled 1.-THE 61st)
were: For 1901, 81, 027, 900, 900;
for 1911-12, 81 1925, 100000. The APP
propriations of the next Congress
(which was Democratic in the lower
branch and Republican in the upper
branch) we're: For 1928, ST.
C19, 900, 900; for 1914, S1,o9s,-
100000.
In the three years since the pres
emit Democratic Administration has
been in power the appropriations
have been: For 1914-'15, S1,1l6,-
900 900; for 1876, $1,114,000,00
for 1867, s1,626,OOO,oOO. Since
the last year of full Republican con-
troll the appropriations have in
creased $500, 900, 900, or SO per cent
( This is a fulflment with vengeance
by Mr.. Wilson and his party of the
economy pledge.
A similar mockery was made OF
the pledge to decrease taxation. The
customs revenues were reduced by
about $50, 100000 a year through the
passage of the Underwood tariff law
But when a deficit developed Con
gress imposed emergency war taxes
netting about $90,O00,000 a year
having previously laid tax on ind.
vidual incomes, bringing in SGT ,OOO,-
900 a year. Internal taxation wa:
increased, on the whole, about S175,
100000 prior to the passage of The
new revenue law Of 1916. This Law
levied new and oppressive taxes
whose weight cannot be now com
puted. IL was the expectation OF
the trainers Of the law that it woulC
bring in at least sl50,000,000 add.
tional revenue.
The country will not begrudge any
increase in Federal appropriations
due 10 real needs in the way Of mill
tary preparedness. But it already
realizes that Congress has wasted q
large BART Of the money spent on th'
futile army reorganization provided
for in thef1ay law. We are paying

MAYOR PREDICTS
GREATER BUDGET
Says Debt Service Will
Cost an Extra
S6,500,00O

"A material increase" In the 1917
budget is predicted by Mayor Mitchell.
In a statement yesterday he said that
higher cost OF debt service, an in
crease IN uncollectible taxes and wid-
ows' pensions will make the city's bur
den heavier this year. Taxes. OF
course. vii. increase proportionately.
The statement follows:
at Is still too early TO forecast
definitely the total Of the budget for
1917, because neither the Budget Com
mittee Of the Board of Estimate nor
the board itself has completed its la
bors.
$50 f&, however, two things are
reasonably clear. One is that the to-
tai appropriation for departments dl-
rectly under the jurisdiction OF the
Mayor will be little, II at all. in ex-
cess of this years appropriation. Ten
tative figures thus far submitted to me
show a proposed increase for my de-
partments of about $4,000, irrespec-
tive of proposed salary increases IN
uniformed forces; but | have not yet
finished my scrutiny of these tenta-
tive budgets.
$4,000. 900 Increase for Debt
at is also clear that, aside from
an increased appropriation for the De-
partment of Education to meet grow
ing needs, there will be other increases,
Of which the largest will be an in
crease of s6,5O0,OO0 for debt service,
consisting for the most part of about
50, 50000 for redemption of debt Of
former municipalities now included in
Queens Borough, about $2,500,0OO for
the psy-as-you-go policy and $1,000
coo for interest payable in 1917 on
rapid transit bonds on parts Of the
subway 10 be put in operation under
Contract No. 3.
MANY important questions Of pol
icy still remain to be decided by the
Board of Estimate at its special ex.
ecutive sessions, such as the requested
increase in the compensation of police
men, engineers in the Fire Department
and stationary engineers. as well as
the request for 235 additional patrol
men.
Strives to Keep Budget Down
"The board is striving, as hereto
fore, to keep down the total of the
budget, but because of the large in
I creases in debt service, uncollectible
taxes and widows pensions, all OF
which are beyond the power of the
Board of Estimate to control, the city
budget for 1917 will show a material
increase over the city budget for 1916,
exclusive of the direct state tax.
1.-THE measure of economy practlsed
by the city administration is found IN
the cost of running the administrative
departments. This cost. in spite of
the vastly increased cost of living in
cident to higher prices, we have sue
ceeded in keeping down.
"The small increased administrative
cost Of the government will be due
almost entirely TO the increase in the
cost Of supplies and to those increases
in salary which the board may de-
termine 10 make as a matter Of gem
eral policy. II will still show a cost
largely reduced below that before this
administration assumed Office"
