of Montana, who resigned from the mail
service yesterday to enter commercial
aviation.
Riddick, who saw active service as a
pilot In Europe before entering the mail
service, said the new gas will run
plane rs per cent. further than gasolene.
since the motor will speed up from one
to two hundred revolutions faster per
minute than when ordinary fuel is used.
The motor also runs cooler. making It
possible to fly at low attitudes when

without fear OF trouble in the cooling
system.
The mail service has done more to
standardiZe flying and bring closer the
time when the airplane as a passenger
and freight carrier will compete with
railroads than has any other agency, In
the opinion of Mr.. Riddick Maintaining
actual schedules in all kinds of weather
is its biggest accomplishment,

A City of Trusting People.

Those who have held the belief that
New York was city Of cynical and
suspicious people must be, somewhat
disturbed by recent happenings.
Wall Street, by all report a place
where everybody looked out for himself
carefully, has been the scene this past
summer of thefts Of $650000 in Lib
erty bonds. At least eight brokerage
houses have been victims. A broker
will hand 100000 worth of unregis-
tered bonds to a lad Of IS whom he
scarcely knows and tell him to run
over to Smith & Smiths With them.
Isn't that perfect confidence on a big
scale?
A girl Of 10 years tells the police
that in the last year she has robbed
$50 apartments by the simple method
Of trying doors and entering those
which were not locked. If this does
not testify to the supreme trust of
New York householders in the honesty
of their fellow citizens, what does 1t
mean?
And yet most Of this confidence in
the other fellow Is justified. We sup

on would go the heads OF Mr..
Chairman Elk Oficio and the Hon.
Trustee. The State would be run by
q governmental system radiating from
the Governor, whose term would be
made four years. And there would
be budget system instead of the
present hoary scheme Of departmental
estimates. 1t will be argued, says the
report, that this would make the Gov
ernor car; but 1t points out that
the Mayor Of New York appoints all
important department heads "and
citizens know whom to hold account
able" Put the Governor in the lime
Light, says the report; let economy re-
dound to. his credit and extravaganza
be laid at his door.
The commission bases many of it's
suggestions on the experience of other
States. Illinois swept out 100 Offices
and agencies and concentrated its
affairs under nine departments.
Nebraska's cut was from eighty-two
tc sixteen. Massachusetts has pre-
pared the way for consultations Of
Offices. Oregon is going to get along
with ten departments.
1t is expected that when the over
head expense Of superfluous agencies
is removed and economy comes with a
real budget system the tax burdens Of
the State will be lessened. 1t is sug-
gested In the report that the State
income tax, made necessary by the
wastes Of an ancient system, has de-
veloped among the citizens a livelier
interest in State organization and ex-
penditures. We hope this is true. 1t
may be, as the report hints, that a
citizen cannot understand the fearful
and wonderful machinery of this State
as 1t now stands; but he can under
stand, or at least feel keenly, the
new tax.
We doubt that the critics Of the
report will suggest that its adoption
would be the means of handing great
power over to the present occupant Of
the Governors chair. The plan could
not be put through in its entirety
before 1922, as 1t calls for certain
constitutional amendments; and Mr..
SMITHS first term expires a year be-
fore that time.

A Plan to Simplify the Business OF
New York state.

Early this year Governor SMITH ap-
pointed Reconstruction Commission,
with ADRIAN 1. ELKUs as chairman.
The first important result of its labors,
a report on organization and retrench-
ment in the State government pre-
pared by the retrenchment committee,
is now in print and will be formally
presented to the public at hearing
in the Aldermanic Chamber on
Wednesday.
Instead of being a business house
controlled and operated by one head
responsible to the people. the govern
ment Of New York has come, in the
last 1875 years, to be administered by
1877 boards, commissions and other
agencies, nearly all Independent of
any other authority. These have not
all grown up through evil design !;
quite the contrary. When a reform
was needed 1t came in by way of a
commission or other agency and was
hedged about with laws protecting 1t
from executive or other encroachment.
1t might have been put into an exist
ing department, but 1t wasn't.
Let us take for example the legal
business Of the State. A great part
of it falls of course in its natural
place, the Attorney Generals Office.
But we find legal STATS In the Execu-
tive Department, the Conservation
Bureau, the Comptroller's office, the
Department Of Farms and Markets,
the State Hospital Commission, the
Public Service Commission and In the
Insurance, Tax and Education depart
ments. The recommendation in this
case Of scattered forces Is that an
Attorney General to be appointed by
the Governor shall be in charge of all
the legal work Of the State, just as is
the case in New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania just as the legal business OF
this city is concentrated in the office
of the Corporation Counsel.
/ What Is true of the confusion OF
lawyers is also true in many divisions
of the State establishment. AS the re-
port says, there are five departments
and numerous independent boards
having authority over the custody OF
the State parks, reserves and places
Of interest; that there are more thar
seven departments assessing and col
lecting taxes, one of which audits its
own collections; more than ten depart
ments of an engineering character
numerous separate and distinct contro

with demands for fewer hours) as they
are In so many instances.
What so many employers are anxious
to know is, do the recipients OF these
wage increases, related as these are to
the present cost OF living, intend to re-
tain them (if indeed not actually to
make them tho basis Of further in

recede, as undoubtedly It will?

ministry of all the talents striving, with
the utmost patriotic energy, to make
success of one amalgamated State con-
trolled railway system Yet the result
has beef and is deplorable. None who
use them and few who work for them
have a good word to-day for the rail-
ways in Great Britain.

II we want to ruin the mines or any
other industry we shall make them even

TEMPERATURE HIGHER UP.
Il Wat, Probably Colder Where Rohifs
Was Than He Thought.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: The
temperature recorded by Mr.. Rohlfs's
thermograph, as degrees below zero, Is
probably not SO low as would have been
recorded had his plane kept at the maxi
mum altitude half an hour longer. AT
low temperatures thermograph may
and many of them do--require half an
hour or more to make q minimum record.
Minimum thermometers of the Weather
Bureau pattern are much more prompt
in recording, but these too are apt to
be stubborn at low temperatures. The
sounding balloon sent up at Avalon.
Cal, brought back a valuable tempera-
ture record. At Airman Rohlfs's maxi
mum altitude the temperature recorded
by the Avalon thermograph was approx
mately As degrees below zero
The barometer reduced to sea Level
and 33 degrees Fahrenheit on September
IS ranged between 5000 inches and
30.14 inches-the latter at 10 A. M
These pressnres are little above the
average but by no means UP to the maxi
mum. Perhaps three or four times
year the pressure may stand at 1880
inches for a period OF twenty-four hours.
II Mr. Rohlfs had waited for good
day. when the pressure was half an inch
higher, It is not unlikely that he could
have climbed bit higher-possibly to
height Of $4,000 feet
Whatever else he may have accom-
plished, Mr.. Roh)fs has gained material
knowledge concerning the temperature
