To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Tax Reduction Committee hu
published statement asking support fc
various measures, claiming that should 'hss
be enacted they will result in total anna
saving TO New York City OF SllOOOW
This claim is not warranted By the facts
Two Of the items counted upon for $500,
900 of this alleged saving are proposals

fer tax and share OF the new excise Hi
if an additional tax is levied.
In respect to the stock transfer tar, re
saving claimed by giving to the City OF N''
York the proceeds of the sales OF STAMPS
here is 100000. This amount is sIe''
siye. nor will it all be a saving. It IL tue
that the average receipts from the r'i
transfer tax for the last ten years have beer
slightly in excess of S4,000,O00 a year, tanrs
the state as a whole But the receipts sron
that tax have been decreasing ever since "
enactment. For the first FIVE years, 1870
1910 inclusive, the average was S5,VoVVo
annually. But for the last five years, WI
1915 inclusive, the receipts have average
only 100000 annually.
Il is a debatable question vnether w
localities have a right TO a share N u'
of this. character. Personally, believe "

Vera Cruz and Chihuahua.

In April, 1914, President Wilson sent
the armed forces of the United States into
Vera Cruz. lie seized Mexico's chief sea-
port as a means of enforcing his ultima
tum to General Huerta-of obtaining the
salute to the American flag which Huerta s
government had refused.
Mr.. Wilson never obtained that salute.
He succeeded in ousting Huerta, against
whom he had long previously declared
personal boycott Then he ordered the
garrison occupying Vera Cruz to strike
IFS colors and TO sink away. Looking back
now. it is hard to see for what object OF
national Importance American and Next
can lives were sacrificed in the attack on
Vera Cruz.
Now the President is sending armed
American forces into Chihuahua. It is
their mission to kill or capture the savage
cutthroat-the ex-bandit incorporating as
a military and political leader-whom the
Administration coddled for 80 many
months as its favorite for the succession
70 Huerta. This brutal murderer has
turned on his patrons, who have furnished
him with all the arms and ammunition
which he possesses, and has declared a
war of determination against Americans,
not only in the territory which he controls
in Mexico. but also on the American side
of the Rio Grande He has slaughtered
unarmed men and women and attacked our
military posts. He has made himself
either a hostile invader or an interna-
tional outlaw.
There is no force on the Mexican side,
representing the Mexican government
which the United States has recognized,
equal to bringing Pancho Villa to justice
He can be caught and punished only by an
expedition sent from this country for that
purpose. He has written his own death
warrant. The United States must settle
its account with him at once, if respect for
American rights anywhere within Next
can territory is to be reGstablished
The country awaits anxiously the out
come of the Chihuahua expedition. Is it
TO duplicate in fruitlessness the expedition
70 Vera Cruz? VIII our soldiers again
come back empty-handed, their mission I'M
fulfilled?
We hope not. But the melancholy trav-
esty of craftsmanship which has passed So
long under the name of "watchful walt
ing" discourages confidence. Can the Presi-
dent now strike off the shackles Of that
policy-its squirmings, its vacillations, Its
contradictions, its lethargy? VIII he at
last go straight to the point? For 1t IS
only by going ruthlessly TO the point that
American prestige can be restored u
Mexico and current conceptions mot at all
uniustified) of the value which the United
States Government puts on the lives of its
citizens can be banished from Mexican
minds.
Only by fully avenging the victims Of
Villas latest crime can the world be ade-
ouately warned that this country has
broken for good and all with the brainless,
heartless, spiritless Mexican policy which
the Administration at Washington has
been pursuing for three weary, humiliating
wears.

THE TICK PRIMER

Is this a tick?
It is a tick, but it won't be tick
long. Soon it will be thousand ticks.
What does it eat?
Blood.
Where does it get blood2
From your COWS, steers, calves.
What do the thousand ticks eat?
Blood-and from the same source.
Where does the blood come from?
From the grass, silage, corn, cotton
seed meal, and other food your cattle
eat.
Oh-then the tick eats my feed?
Yes; but he first makes your cattle
do all the work of turning feed into
blood.
But what is cattle blood worth?
So much a pound when it goes into
beef-so much a quart wien it goes
to make milk.
How much blood do ticks eat?
Where they are thick they eat 200
pounds of blood year from 1000
pound steer.
How much milk do they take out
IN blood!
A few on a cow reduce the milk
yield 1 1-2 quarts day-lots of them
will cut the milk down over 8 quarts.
Then the ticks are drawing on my
account?
They are certainly keeping your
balance in the veal stage.
And my neighbors'?
The tick is sucking $50,000,000 a
year from the South.
What is the answer?
You and the farmers, business men,
bankers and people of the country
must get together and build dipping
watts and dip all cattle in an arsenical
bath, which kills the ticks.
Cost of dipping?
Twenty cents to so cents head.
Profit from dipping?
Five dollars to $40 a head on beef
cattle-$20 to $50 a year on dairy
COW.
Worth doing?
Now.

Invention Must Come to Aid
OF the Automobile Industry

The Society of Automobile Engineers is
discussing increased price Of gasoline, E. S
FolJarnbe, recommending an award o.
prizes for the most efficient devices fol
adapting kerosene or some less volatile
fuel than gasoline to the uses of gasoline
engines. The New York World rightly
says that prize in the way of wealth be
yond the dreams of avarice will reward the
engineer who invents successful device O
the kind, and gives the following interest
ing and illuminating figures:
In the ten-year period between 1910
and 1915 the production of crude pc
troleum in the United States more
than doubled. increasing from 1884,
1850 barrels to 290,312, 535. Yet,
while the amount of the refined prod
uct used for illuminating purposes re-
NAMED practically stationary, the
amount of naphtha, benzine and gaso-
line distilled increased eightfold, rising
from 80, 756, 694 gallons to 251,195, 794.
AS a gallon of oil yields but fractional
part in gasoline, the urgency of the
problem is evident The government
process for ''trebling the output of
gasoline from given amount of pc
troleum has been at the disposal of
reflners for year without improving
matters, and with approximately g.,
100000 motor vehicles in use by the
end of the current year and more to
come, it is obviously high time for in
vention to come to the aid of the auto
mobile industry with a new fuel if its
progress is not to be seriously i'm
peded.

Der manufactures, has donated the sum of
100000, as a memorial to her late hus-

New Orleans is fortunate in having such
a public benefactress as Mrs. Dibert It was
she who gave $4,000 for the Charity Hos

uary. Mrs Dibert is a director of the In
terstate Bank and Trust Company, being
one of the first two women bank directors

Fifty Thousand Dollars Fer
Villa--Dead or Alive

There is something new in warfare. Mil
itary authorities in Columbus, New Mex
leo, have confirmed the report that Colonel
H. J. Slocum has offered a reward for
Villa, dead or alive
This is the first time an army officer has
made such an offer of private award from
his fortune. Mrs. Slocum, who is niece of
Mrs. Russell Sage, has given large sums to
her husbands regiment, the fighting
thirteenth" part of which command COW
cred itself with glory repulsing the Villa
attack on Columbus.
Dispatches state that army officials de-
cline to comment on the offer, though gen
orally admitting that it has no precedent
They indicated, however, that they ex-
pected results.
And that is what Colonel Slocum made
his offer for-results

Business Fellowship to Be Created
By New York National Bank

The plan Of the National City Bank of
New York 'for bringing the universities
of the United States into closer touch with
the needs and demands of the commercial
institutions Of the country and for the
purpose "of helping university students to
choose their vocations and to enable the IN
stitution itself to select specially trained
men for its foreign and domestic service
has been announced.
The bank proposes the establishment OF
business fellowship which will enable GER
tain students selected by the colleges to
spend one year in the bank during their
four years or more in college In considera-
ton of the practical work and certain
courses of study pursued while there, the
universities have agreed to let those stu
dents graduate with their classes, all other
conditions having been fulfilled.
During the twelve months of service
with the bank the student, besides his
practical work, will pursue certain studies
prescribed by the bank with the advice and
cooperation Of the university.
The bank is to pay the student fifty dol
lars for his services, and to allow the stu
dent sum not to exceed $4,000 for rail-
road fare to and from his university and
the bank
This is something new in the way of
education, but something quite as impor-
tant, it would seem, as is the agricultural
school or the military academy. If there is
anything the young men of this country
need to be trained in. it is business. If other
financial institutions would follow the lead
of the National Bank of New York the
colleges might perhaps turn out fewer in
capables, at the end of four-year term.

EXPLANATION OF
CARTOON OMITTED

The explanation of the cartoon,
''The American Soldier" appearing
in The Journal yesterday morning,
was omitted by mistake. Beneath
the cartoon should have appeared the
following: "On the left-The Ameri-
can soldier as he appears in the eyes
of the misguided. On the right-The
American soldier as he really is"
The trim and determined young
man appearing in the dark shaded
portion of the cartoon is the class of
soldier now invading Mexico to avenge
the murder of soldiers and civilians at
the hands of Villa bandits recently.

Movement to Break Down
Effectiveness of Conservation Policy

A concerted movement is on foot to
break down the effectiveness of the nation
present conversation policy, according to
Clifford Pinchot, Americas great conserva-
ton expert.
The Ferriss bill, as reported to the SEN
ate, takes the care of the water-powers on
national forests away from the experienced
and competent forest service and gives it
to the interior department This transfer
would entail unavoidable duplication of
work and needless. expense.
The Ferriss bill which relates to the pub
lie lands and national forests was not gen
orally condemned as it passed the>house,
but as it was reported to the senate, it en-
courages monopoly by permitting a cor
poration to take as many water power sites
as it may please.
Under it the Grand Canon, the greatest
natural wonder, except Niagara Falls,
upon this continent would not be out of
reach of private interests
