Information at Central Park.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Passing through Central Park this
afternoon at about 3 o'clock, | stopped at
the Mall to see if there was to be con-
cert. Two or three hundred people were
seated at the band stand, and | was about
to join them, but thought | would make sure,
so looked up policeman and asked him.
An he said with foreign accent pa
thence is a virtue. Those folks can sit there as
long they ike, but there's no o'clock con-
cert. There's to be one at g." But" | said,
"is there no one to inform them or to put up
d notice" They've had notice enough" was
the reply. at was in the programme yester-
day and the day before, and IN the papers"
But |, for one, was not here yesterday nor
the day before, nor have | seen it in the pa
pers. There are some millions of people in
New York, and all do not attend these con-
ccrts regularly. Here n few of them"
All" he repeated, patience is a virtue Let
EN- stay till o'clock"
| respectfully suggest to the Police De-
partment that a man of little more civic
pride and sense Of the dignity of his posi-
tion be put at that post; a calibre Of man
who would find it pleasure, not a task,
to step TO the front of the audience and
make the announcement. | was inclined
to do it myself, but having no badge of
authority knew my words would carry no
weight. f.. S. j.

walked out. Under the circumstances
those facts are controlling in the bid for
general support.
Present indications are that this strike
will not be long-lived enough to infiict
great hardship on the city But whether
or not it comes up to the predictions Of the
Union leaders. it brings forward sharply
the question raised by the Public Service
Commission a month ago regarding legis-
lation governing strikes against public
service corporations. The City OF New
York is a partner with the lnterborough
in operating the rapid transit lines. No
policeman or fireman dare strike-save by
resigning his place. Yet the Public Ser
vice Commission has no power to prevent a
strike of trainmen who may damage the
citv to an incalculabe degree by a gen.
oraI stoppage of work on the lines of which
the city is part owner; it has not even
the mower to compel operation OF those
lines. That is an anomalous situation IN
which it is obvious that the public's rights
are not sufficiently protected.

From The North westche'ter TtmesJ

From The North Westchestcr Times
The good old Republican Tribune has
come out with a leading editorial to say that
it has no intention of aiding or abetting
Governor Whitman il he runs for reelection
this fall As no one else has shown up in
the ranks Of the G.. O. p. with anything like
Whitman's chance for denomination it looks
as though Mr.. Ogden Reid would have to
bolt his party on this rather important Office
Without going into the virtues of Whit
man as against Seabury. il is pretty clear
that the newspaper founded by Horace
Greeley is actuated by principle and a sound
moral consistency when it takes this radical
step. Ever since the Governors secretary
talked about taking away the public adver-
Using from Mr.. Reds paper because IL had
criticised executive acts and policies there
has been a widening of the breach
The paper made no secret Of its position
at that time and came out with a pretty
strong article on the subject, making plain
the fact that it was not to be bullyragged
or cajoed by manipulation Of public pap"
II what it said did not suit the powers that
hand out patronage it was quite willing TO
forego the profit in order 10 keep its journal
istic independence.
In taking this position The Tribune did
the only thing an honest paper could do and
il SET an example TO a great many other jour
nalists. We trust that its stand for decency
NAV be properly appreciated and followed.
The notable fact is that Mr.. Reid stuck to
his guns and made good his determination.
We fear that great many practical" men
in his position would have listened 10 the
call Of policy as election drew near, patched
up their differences swallowed their words
and rooted for the party candidate just so
as to be regular and avoid trouble.
In no profession is it easier to follow the
line Of least resistance than in that Of jour
nalism; and in none is all independent course
more necessary If the public good is to be
served rather than the call Of selfish interest

The French Wounded Emergency Fund.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: see that on July you were so kind
as to publish letter signed by L. S. W. Per-
kins of Concord, Mass, being an appeal for
the French Wounded Emergency Fund, and
in the name Of the fund desire to thank you
for your kindness.
In your issue of July II we see that moneys
n answer to that appeal should be sent to
Messrs. Kdder, Peabody & Co., of Boston.
| think there is some mistake, inasmuch as
Messrs Kdder, Peabody e. Co. are not the
trcaSurers of the French Wounded Emergency
Fund. although they have been most kind in
sending us gifts of clothing The treasurer
Of the French Wounded Emergency Fund in
the United States is Captain J. F. Lucey.

MIR. Hughes Hits Hard.

In every speech which he has made since
the surrender to the railroad brotherhoods
was signed and sealed Mr.. Hughes has
made telling use of an issue with PRESIDENT
Wilson which the latter, with all MS pow
ers of sophistication, can never meet. 1t
is the issue of moral courage in politics, OF
willingness to adhere to a clear principe
in the face of temporary pressure "hich
seems to threaten the loss of votes.
81 am for the arbitration of industrial
disputes." says Mr. Hughes. That is
method for settling such disputes which
society has long been struggling to estao-
lish, displacing the crude and wasteful
ancient method of a resort to force. Inc
Federal government, and practically every
state government, has set up machinery oil
mediation, giving the public's sanction to
the composition of quarrels between capt.
tai and labor through arbitration. The
goal of all our political and social effort IN
this field has been to eliminate strikes
and violence and to substitute for them
the rule of accommodation and reason.
President Wilson turned the hands of
progress back when he hastily conceded
the claim of the railroad brotherhoods
that their demand for higher wages was
not arbitrable. He was guilty of what
Mr.. Hughes calls "a very deplorable sur
render of the principle" Of arbitration.
again his own belief in that principle, but
he lacked the firmness of character to hght
for his faith when the brotherhood dlcta-
tors began to threaten him.
The strike menace was a gigantic bluff.
The country would not have tolerated
strike whose effects on business would have
been as disastrous as those of civil war.
No public in these days of enlightenment
will stand for such a crime as the hold-up
of the transportation and industry OF the
merely as an incident to the set
Element of wage dispute. With Congress
in session legislation could have been
passed in few days outlawing any and all
concerted action to restrain interstate
commerce.
But Mr.. Wilson could not sense the pub
hes temper He could see in the threat of
the brotherhoods only menace to his own
prospects of reelection. In consequence he
bought off the intimidators on their own
terms. Put to the test, his moral courage
failed and he sought the easiest and cheap
est way out-just as he had done before
with Germany and in Mexico.
This bankruptcy in decision, in faith
and in fighting instinct is Mr.. Wilson's
great disqualification for national leader
ship. Mr.. Hughes is wise in emphasizing
it reentlessly. Nothing in the Presidents
record has brought to light more pitilessly
his shortcomings as statesman than his
panic-stricken betrayal of the principle of
arbitration in wage disputes-the main
stay of all our progress toward fairer
and better industrial order.

A Deserved Failure.

Unless the strikers can do more in the
way of stopping transportation facilities
than they did yesterday, they might as
well admit that they have failed and call
off the strike. They have failed beyond
question in one important respectively
have not put forward case which has
carried conviction that they have real
grievance, valid reason for the attempt
to tie up the city. Though the conduct of
the marlborough management may have
been tricky, the union leaders have been
just as guilty. The new strike Of the sur
face-car workers, in fiat defiance of the
arbitration agreement entered into when
the recent strike was settled, is a viola
ton of good faith and an affront to the
public which must long remain as black
mark against labor unionism as it is prac-
tised
The net result of the strike up to date
is that where they had no shadow of JUS
tice in going out the unionists have been
most successful, and where they have
some claim TO consideration in their quar-
rel with the company they have failed
completely to show that a majority of the
employees are on their side. 1t constitutes
such an exhibit that honest, sincere labor
unionists henceforth should pray to be de-
livered from their professional leaders.
The general public cannot be expected to
uphold tactics which include treating an
arbitration agreement as scrap of paper,
and seeking to make a minority Of any con-
Germs employees dictate regarding work TO
q majority.
II is manifest, in the practically normal
schedules Of subway and elevated lines,
that most of the Interborough's employees
we're well enough satisfied with their lot
TO remain at work in the face of the strike
order The strike becomes, therefore, a
mere endeavor TO uphold by violence the
Prestige of the general streetcar mems
Union and its leaders. To how great an
extent the intolerance of the INTERIOR
ouph's officials may have contributed TO
the breach ought 10 be disclosed by the
Public Service Commissions investigation,
now under way.
The Tribune does not uphold or attempt
70 palliate any arbitrary use of power by
corporation oficialdom. Neither does it
uphold any effort by labor manipulators
IL exploit the public's necessities merely
10 bolster up unonism in general. Both
sides, in the present affair, arc tarred with
the same brush, so far as arbitrariness
and selfshness are concerned. The cor
poration has 20 it's credit the fact that a
majority Of its elevated and subway en-
ployes are sticking TO their jobs, and that
the men OF the surface lines deliberately
put themselves in the wrong when they

SINGLE TAN HISTORY

The. first initiative measure or

tn FSfl Rental ve'ue Land Tax aud
Homemakers' loan Fund Amends
ment'' Is the same single tax scheme
that has adorned the ballot year aft
er year. this time wearing a new
dress and bearing a new. title. A new
bait to catch votes has also been
added. Following is the history Of
attempted single tax legislation in
Oregon during the past eight years:
In 1908 an amendment proposed
BY THE Oregon Tax Reform Associa-
tion'' (single taxers) exempting per-
sonal property and improvements was
defeated by vote Of s0.s7l (no) to
33.06s (ayes). It was admitted to be
. 1rst step toward single tax.
In 1910, an amendment abolish
Ing the poll tax carried by vote Of
sl.171 (ayes to 43.137 tno). Only
after its passage was the following
Joker" discovered: Providing for
the people Of each county to regulate
TAXATION and exemptions within the
county, regardless OF constitutional
restrictions or state statutes. and
abolishing poll or head tax"
In 1919, single tax measures were
submitted in Multnomah. Clacka-
mas and Coos counties. and were de-
feated in each county by more than
. two to one vote.
At the same election. an amend
ment proposing statewide single
tax with . graduated tax provision"
was defeated by s2.O15 .tno) to 31.-
534 (ayes). At this election the
Joker" referred to above. was re-
pealed. M
1914. two amendments were sub
mifted: One. providing for a 81 500
exemption. was defea.ed-136.1s3 to
e5.4s5; the other. providing for
specific personal graduation extra
tax, was defeated-124.943 to So
ls6. BY voting 307 no the voters of
Oregon will again show what they
think OF single tax.
