A Square Deal for This City

Senator Browns scheme to have a COM
mittee composed Of New York City legis-
lators to handle bills affecting this city
has many merits. Ii is not, as Speaker
Sweet has termed it, "a dangerous prece-
dent" 1t is. rather, an eminently sensi-
BILE proposal for segregating the many and
important pieces Of legislation affecting
more than half the population of the state
which annually are introduced at the Capl-
tol. Under the existing system, these
longest the Cities Committees calendar
and do not receive the careful and expert
consideration to which they are entitled.
The new plan should enable the legislative
machinery 70 run more smoothly, and
gives promise Of more satisfactory results
so far as the interests of the metropolis
are concerned.
New York City produces most Of the
money which goes TO pay New York
States expenses. Yet this city is not
represented in the Legislature according
to its population or its Importance in the
tax lists. Owing to an incomplete and
defective city charter and Che inadequacy
Of so-caTed home rule legislation, each
year sees New York sending to Albany
bills by the score for the changing Of
local governmental machinery, measures
intended to relieve some purely local con-
dition. as we'll as bills to produce whole
some changes which would affect this city
primarily, but would have some bearing
on the state at large or other communities
in the state.
These all go for consideration to the
Cities Committee, which seldom is presided
over by a New York member, and never
has a majority of New York men in its
membership. The result is not happy for
this city. Frequently there appears TO be
a prejudice against anything bearing the
New York City stamp. This may be due
to politics; it may be due to failure thor
oughly to understand local conditions and
local needs; it may be due to a dozen
other things. But in any case This city
has suffered many times from failure to-
obtain from Albany the help for which
we had a right to look to Albany.
The Brown scheme at least offers this
a consideration, in the first instance, OF
this city's legislation by men elected from
this city, representing the two big political
parties. If any legislators could, these
men should give intelligent and sympa
thetic study to such bills. That would
start the bills right, and as any observer
of legislative routine knows, that is a
great deal. This proposal looks like the
beginning of a square deal for the me-
tropolis in the Legislature.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: ] was extremely glad to see you, IN
your editorial Of this morning, discreet
Patriotism" dealing so faithfully with Mr..
A. G.. Gardiner, the talented sentimentalist
who edits "The London Daily News" Few
English papers seem to be more widely
quoted in the United States than "The Daily
News" and "The Manchester Guardian" and
few are less qualified TO represent either the
sober and realistic temper Of the British peo-
ple in time Of peace or their unbendng stub
bornness in time of war Normally, they are
the journals Of those high-mnded and vision
arg "cranks" who form, no doubt, useiul
leaven in the composition of any country but
Of whom for our sins, we seem always 10

days of stress and strain they SPEAK only LOT

is the nearest approach we have at present IN
the British Isles, or, | hope, shall ever have,
to the Copperheads of your own Civil war
EXCEPT. possibly, "The Nation" know Of no
Journals from which there is less TO be
learned at time like this as to the real
sentiments and attitude of the British people.
"The Daily News" in particular, has been
consistently wrong both before the war and
since it's outbreak. It always derided the
German menace il always opposed even the
smallest step toward universal military
training; it always did what it could to re-
duce the navy estimates; it always put social
reform before and above national security;
il always regulated its foreign policy by
set Of cast-iron principles OF liberation
that took no account Of the lessons of the
past or the grim realities of the present. SO
far as the war caught us unprepared, 1t was
very largely owing 10 the myopic preachngs
Of papers like "The Daily News" and Of edi-
tors like Mr. A. G.. Gardiner.
When the crisis actually burst he showed
at least a certain sense of logic by trying to
crawl from under it. AS you very pertinently
point out, he would have sacrificed Belgium
without compunction he urged upon his
countrymen a policy Of neutrality; IN his
usual dithyrambic style he chanted for them
the deli hts of wealth that would thus be
their portion; he showed himself. like all
your sentimentalists at a pinch, the most
soulless, covetous. vulgar minded money

Since the war Mr.. Gardiner has remained
true to his record. He sought, as all OF his
kidney would naturally seek, to run the
greatest struggle in history as an advertise
ment for the Liberal party. He took the
formation of the coalition government more
to heart than any defeat Of the Allies in the
fold I cannot recall a single difficulty on
which he has spoken one helpful or illumi-

On Taking Sides
T Of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Il is somewhat OF a satisfaction in
reading the letter OF Mr.. Murray T Quigg in
Thursdays Tribune to see that he admits
there are moral issues involved in the Euro
pean war
Admitting this, how would he act in assist
ing in the effort to wipe out the immoraities
brought about by the war? The perpetrators
OF these lmmoralties, or. TO use proper de-
scrption OF them, the iendsh crimes. are
the Germans. Have they ever admitted that
they were immoral? Have they ever shown
any shame for their Hunnish practices ?
Rather have they glored in their atrocities.
II Europe cannot civilize Germany. as ac-
krowledged by Mr. Quigg, then the only
thing to do is 20 make it bow into submis-
sion by force Imagine the German charac-
ter being changed by "the wisdom of self
imposed meditation" using the words of Nh.
Quigg! Why, the self-imposed meditation
would only add strength to their immoral
minds. The idea of using persuasion to tame
wild beast is as sensible as using persua-
sion TO make Germany restrain its barbaric
purposes. We have seen the tame" lions ir
cages, but no one would want TO invite the
tame animal into his home; the lion nature
would be sure at some period 20 assert itself
To keep the German lions from devouring
the people there must be bars of steel around
them, rather than the slken floss Of deluded
pacfsts j. II. B.

Finances First

Governor Whitman has laid before the
Legislature a variety of subjects, con
corning which it seems likely that the
most important will get the least con-
sideraton from that honorable body.
That is the question Of state finances, sub
mitted TO the lawmakers by way of the
Governors budget-a misnomer, for it is
nothing but a suggestion TO the Legis-
lature, having no effect other than TO give
a standard of comparison for appropria-
tions. With this must be classed the
recommendation that the reorganization
and Standardization of the states civil
service be carried out according to plans
suggested by the Senate's Civil Service
Committee-the Horton report, which
promised a saving of 100000 annually
and better service from such reorganiza-
ton.
The Governors schedule of appropria-
tons calls for expenditures Of $65,000,0O0.
The appropriations for 1915 were nearly
$64 ,000,0 900, and for 1916 (the fiscal year
having been changed, the funds were al
lotted for only nine months) were $780,
100000. In addition the Governor sug-
gests appropriations Of more than $1,000
900 for new state activities making a
total, according to his estimates, OF more
than s67, 900, O00-or over S3,0OO,OOO more
than the appropriations for the first year
Of his first term. These estimates-in all
! likelihood 10 be exceeded by the Legs-
Ilature's appropriations-them themselves exceed
| the Controllers estimate Of income for
the year. A direct tax Of at least one
mill, netting approximately $12,000,O00,
therefore stares the state in the face.
/ In view of such situation. the Gov
ernor's suggestion of appropriating 49,
100000 as a sort of bonus for the New
| York militiamen who served on the border
seems absolutely unjustiiable. The mill
/ tiamen, doubtless, would be glad of the
gift-for that is what it is. And if the
state had its pockets full to running over,
it would be a pretty and gracious thing
thus to reward those men.
| But the state is not so wealthy. It's
expenditures each year so far outrun its
/ income that the authorities have a hard
task bringing the two within hailing dis
lance. The states wards in charitable
and curative institutions are being main
tanned under lamentable conditions owing
to the states financial stringency. To
undertake to give state bonus, under
such circumstance 10 men who received
for their services nat the Federal gov
eminent deemed 'eoith, 10 have the
state pay soldiers re duly mustered
in to the Federal ser' p, seems unneces-
sary and mischievous
The Governors somewhat qualified
recommendation for a local option liquor
law applying to cities is bound TO arouse
a great stir. 1t seems only fair TO give

Please keep in view the mental abyss Of
obsolete ideas in which ! am confined, as
above stated, and then enlighten me on this
question. | read with much interest the
charming letter of Mr.. A. +. Cortis in
The Tribune of December 30, and would Ike
to know wherein his proposal differs from
the various schemes Of over-zeaous Ger
mans. Why are they not equally breaches Of
neutrality? Why do you give countensnce
10 the one and denounce the other if you
are American and not British? Whatever
may he the opinion entertained by you or by
Mr. Cortis or by me of the President Of the

not equally bound by his statements and de-
crees?
II Mr.. Corts desires to address gigantic

Stunning that he can get the necessary num-
Der Of signatures. but to address a statement
direct to foreign government is tanta-
mount to saying that in the event Of wal

Ordinarily, one would pass by such a let

too much of this spirit abroad in the land
You and Mr.. Cortis may not remember il, but
