Probes for the Milkmen

ATTORNEY General Lewis and District At
tornev Swami have announced their intent
TO investigate the processes by which the
price of milk was raised by the producers
and the increase passed along to the con-
sumers by the distributors. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Hoover also is having an
inquiry made into the costs of milk pro-
duction and distribution. The consumers
wish them all good hunting.
Previous Investigations, notably the in
ouiry by commission of the Legislature,
have produced some information, but no
etter adjustment of relations between
PRODUCERS and distributors, with conse-
quent lessening Of price TO the consumers.
The public knows that the costs which
the dairymen must meet are increasing. 1t
knows that the distributors have various
obstacles to encounter in their business
career which prevent them from absorb
ing producers increased prices into their
own charges without passing them on to
their customers.
The puOllc is Interested III BelllhE hoC
more information along these lines, which
does not stop mounting prices. 1t wants to
know whether the actual increase of cost
in milk raising warrants the raises the
Cairymen demand and whether the eX-
penses of milk distribution warrant the
charges the distributors make. These
things Mr.. Hoovers inquiry should dis
close. The public also wants to know
whether the Dairymen's League is acting
within or without the state antitrust act
and whether the milk distributors can be
proceeded against under that same statute.
These things Attorney General Lewis and
Mr.. Swami may be able to tell the con-
sumers

Let the Women Decidep
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR As the sarcasms OF Mrs. Alice Duer
Miller appear on the same page with tbs
clever, sweet-tempered nonsense Of F. 7. A,
perhaps not TOO many people take them seri.
ously. Sometimes, however, her inaccuracies
Il am trying TO be parliamentary in my
language so glaring that they call ir-
resistibly for an answer. For instance, this
paragraph Of September %: "Mr. Charles Me-
Lean, whose chiyslrous job Is organizing CAM
paigns against women for an association OF
men who believe that women are not people,
says that when the people generally have q
chance 10 vote. suffrage always is defeated
Mr.. Mclean is employed by the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, an
association of women organized for the pur-
pose Of self-defence.
Who were our chief opponents in Maine,
where Mr.. Mclean has lately been working!
President Wilson, Colonel Roosevelt, Gov
ernor Milliken Senator Fernald, Congress-
Hersey, the mayors OF Lewiston, Bel
fast, Oldtown, Bath, Waterille, Augusta,
Rockland. Auburn, Calais and many other
cities. Are these women? II so. nothing
but suffrage has made them So | suppose
that Mrs. Miller means that women have
never had chance 70 vote on this question.
This is true, and we have tried more than
once but our efforts have been defeated by.
the sutFragists. Two years ago, at hearing
in Washington, Mrs. Gait was asked, why
not let the women decide for themselves7"
And her answer was: "For goodness sake,
don't ask US 10 convert the women of New
York and Massachusetts,. They hope
less"
The people" referred 10 by Mr. Mclean
are those mean, by President Lincoln, when
he said: you can't fool all the people all
the time" ALICE II. WADSWORTH

The Second Liberty Loan

The Second Liberty Loan follows close
on the heels Of the first. II would be more
comfortable and convenient for all Of us,
volunteer statesmen and volunteer pur-
chasers alike, if the interval could have
been longer.
But comfort and convenience are not the
watchwords of our fighting men, and they
are poor words on the lips of any Ameri-
can to-day. 1t is, in fact, a good thing
that this demand comes so soon. The sec
ond call for our dollars will serve to re-
mind us all that the battle we fight is no
charge of single trench line, either liter
ally in France or fguratively here The
struggle has its crowded moments, its high
spots. 1t is more truly, however, long
slow labor Of infinite patience and infinite
detail, a struggle which is laid on the
back Of every man, woman and child IN
the country, and which can never be won
unless every man, woman and child in the
country will labor in that struggle every
day Of the year at home exactly as IN
camp and abroad.
How much can each of US take Of this
Second Liberty Loan? The question brings
home to us all one Of the essential
reasons for the economy and efficiency
which we have been trying TO put into our
daily lives in the last few months. We
have been learning with increasing sue
cess the lesson Of food conservation, of so
ordering our kitchens and gardens that
there will be butter and wheat and meat
and sugar enough to go round. But these
savings and substitutions are only part of
the battle We shall be doing less than our
duty by our country if we do not also re-
make the whole schedule of our eXpendi-
lures so as to leave a margin Of savings
which can be loaned to our national gov
eminent.
The present appeal is timely reminder
Of this duty. 1t asks for subscription to
a bond, but that is only one step IN the
long period of service that is really de-
manded. The true service, the hard SER
vice. the long labor that is as severe a test
of patriotism as anything save actual risk
of life, is the day-by-day denial and effort
that will dollar by dollar build up saw
ings to make the purchase of a Liberty
bond possible

An Explanation Needed?
TOR Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: an its Eastern policy the japanese
government is entering upon an expedition
in diplomacy which if persisted in cannot
fail to bring it into collision with the United
States. We have noted with aston
ishment that the Japanese government is at
tempting to set up over China a protectorate.
. The preservation Of the open door
in China is a cardinal point in American for
eign policy" HENRY A. WISE WOOD,
Officer Of the National Security League, in
The New York Tribune, August %. 1917.
81 am persuaded that the grumblings and
the whisperings about door closed in China
by the japanese against America DID not
come from the broad and generous heart of
the enterprising American in New York or
elsewhere, but is the result OF ten years OF
an enemy's effort to create prejudice and dis
trust" NlSCOJNT lSHIl,
Head Of the japanese Imperial Mission to the
United States, at the WaldorfAstoris,
September 20, 1917.

Secretary Daniels Justified

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your editorial of issue September
&c Lifting Boycott" which is in regard
to the Navy League and Mr.. Daniels, you
state. ut was a measure of retaliation
reprisal for what Secretary Daniels con-
sidered an unwarranted criticism emanating
from an official of the league"
In view of the facts which are now known.
TO the effect that the statement made by the
president of the Navy League was absolutely
false, and has even been admitted so by Mr..
Thompson, | question the fairness of your
statement, especially the use OF the word
considered"
In regard to Secretary Danes's action tow
ard the Navy League, it strikes me this is
practically on R par with the stand that
President Wilson has taken with Germany.
We are not debating to Germany what sort
Of government it should have. but merely
state that We will not deal with the present
government. Secretary Daniels is not die
tating 10 the Navy League what officers il
shall have, but he is justified in refusing to
deal with the Navy League while it's officers
are using the league as a club over his head
or as means Of attacking the Adminstra-
ton. As for the bulk of the membership Of
the Navy League, there are many other ways
in which to contribute TO the navy and
know number of women who have been
knitting for the Navy League in the past
have transferred their labors TO the Red
Cross, and the navy is not the sufferer
thereby. L. DWIGHT BARROWS.

Why Not a City Always Beautiful?

If our distinguished visitors from all
the lands the world around had done moth
ING more important for New Workers, they
would have earned our real gratitude by
the lessons in beauty which they have in
cidentally brought before our eyes The
decorations of our streets have been a
success from the start With the City Hall
and the Library as centres, our architects
have created rare scenes Of beauty for
each episode. Perhaps the French was the
most brilliant. But the Belgian colors will
not soon be forgotten. And the great
japanese banners waving across Fifth
Avenue were the most striking of all.
Beauty is a word that somehow seldom
comes to American lips-even in its re-
stricted application to women. The looks
of things; the fact that even plain, ordi-
nary objects of everyday existence, like
pots and pans and glue pots and elevated
railroads. are either beautiful or ugly, just
as are the things that we have been
educated to term works of art'-are, in
fact, works of art, whether we so regard
them or not-all this has never occurred to
most Americans. When we have thought
of beauty it was usually as something eX-
traneous and applied, a frame or fringe
or extra gewgaw, seldom as a quality in
herent in the structure of everything We
see or touch or know.
The decorations Of our streets have been
applied for an occasion. But they have
served to bring out all the latent beauty
in our buildings and streets. They have
converted our city of horrible contrasts
into thing of living, unified beauty. Why
sink back into our lethargy Of blindness?
That is the question which New Workers
ought to put to themselves. If beauty is so
pleasant on a gala occasion, why not see
to it that its essential spirit is spread over
all our days? Why spoil our skyines with
egregious signs? Why permit atrocities Of
architecture anywhere? Why not carry
our city planning step further and open
up the long-needed connecting highways
with civic centres duly controlled as to
architecture and yielding up vistas in
every direction?
Why not a city always beautiful?

Excess Profit Taxes
Why not city always beautiful

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Concerns making excess profits in the
current year will find that the normal tax
of per cent the additional war tax Of 2
ter cent under the House bill or per cent
under the Senate bill together with the ex-
cess profits tax Of y per cent TO 60 per cent
less deductions. will total on the average
from 90 per cent to 80 per cent of the an
nual profit of such corporations and firms. In
addition. the state tax Of 3 per cent must
be provided for by corporations
II will place a greater burden on those
making annual profits Of less than one mill
ion dollars than on those making many mill
ions, because the latter are engaged more
extensively in steel, copper, leather or mu-
rtion industries and may settle their taxes
through purchases by the government,
whereas all others must pay cash.
The average concern making net profits Of
over one hundred thousand dollars does not
carry a cash balance equivalent to from 20
per cent TO so per cent of its annual profits.
is borrowing TO the extent OF its credit and
REQUIRES its cash balance for current opera
lions. The largest cash balance carried By
any corporation in the world represents only
20 per cent of its annual net earnings.
Excess profits are not reflected in cash
balances. but in larger inventories and
counts receivable. which cannot be reduced
without a reduction in sales, with conse-
quent shrnkage Of profit. This means that
concerns unable 20 borrow largely in excess
OF present requirements must liquidate their
assets at the expense Of the business in order
20 meet government taxes.

Cheaper Opera an Influence for Good

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: II the giving of grand opera perform
ances at SO will interest larger class Of peo-
pie than has hitherto been appealed to, such
move is certainly TO be recommended. even
from the box Office viewpoint.
That this will be the effect of such price
reduction is a reasonable assumption. Up
TO date We nave had expensive grand opera
and very cheap opera, the only exceptions be-
ing the Manhattan and the Century COM
panies-one sidetracked though successful,
the other unsuccessful because sdetracked.
Given good location and no legal restric-
tions such as those imposed upon Oscar Ham
merstein by his agreement with the Metro
poltan, the:e is no doubt SO grand opera
would pay
What vast influence for good upon the
City Of New York, reeking with trivial and
unwholesome entertainment, If grand opera
were better encouraged and brought within
reach Of the multitudel Not makeshift
productions, with shabby scenery and gro
tesque choruses but finely organized COM
panies OF American singers of whom there
are many thoroughly capable and eager TO
serve. What an impetus would be given our
native composers, Would il not mean tina,
a least American made grand operas, compar-
able 70 the works Of Wagner, Bizet. Puccini
and Verdi, would be forthcoming? c. II.

Progressive" Medicine

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In this mornings issue there appears
an article the title of which is, Soldiers Are
Urged to Lick Their Own Wounds" We are
told that this was offered before the Society
OF Progressive Medicine in Chicago By Or.
Duncan, and if that statement is true then
also is true the statement that We are all
rapidly going mad, for IL ever more OBJ
viously silly Il might say perniciously
stupid, If such combination is allowable
statement was ever made I have yet 70
hear Of it.
To demonstrate how ridiculous the state
ment is one needs but TO think how many
emong his friends could lick any part Of his
anatomy except his hands and the auteriOr
surface Of his arms. Suppose he was shot or
wounded anywhere else; for example, the
cheek, scalp, back of neck shoulder. SO
much for the licking. Now, II licking we're

a Back Yard Squabble on the Roof

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Since there is no doubt OF the fact
that American newspapers reach Berlin just
as regularly as they reach London, don't you
think j, indscreet for the press 70 strike an
exaggerated note of nstionaism in the
Mayoralty campaign? have never yet met
man or seen newspaper ready and loud
IN CRYING "patriotism" that was not equally
ready and a good deal more loud in charging
other persons and papers with lack OF pa
triotIsm.
It is bad business to elevate back yard
squabble 20 the roof. especially when the up
filters get the worst OF the tussle. If Mr..
Mitchell, as Mayor, has satisfied the majority
of his constituents he will be reelected. II,
az Mayor, he has failed to satisfy that ma
jority he will lose. Quite simple and con-
stitutional. isn't IL? J. b. X.
