WORLD POLICE Co-oPERA-
TON

Probably the average men will be sur
prised by tho statement Of Police Com
missioner EnrIght Of New York. that
this country has no central police
bureau 70 cooperate with the great po-
lice agencies OF European capitals. Our
secret service and department Of justice
have been popularity supposed to keep
track of international criminals. but It
appears from Mr.. Enright's statement
that their activities along this line are
very limited and are domestic rather
than international. He asserts, and this
In no doubt correct. that we have no
system FOR maintaining communication
with Scotland Yard and other foreign
police organizations.
Such a situation undoubtedly tends to
make this country a refuge for inter-
national criminals and should be rem
edied. Possibly Il was not such an I'M
portant matter In the old days when the
means Of transportation and communI-
cation were not well developed. when
criminals were not 50 numerous and
America was not such a rich hunting
ground. but those days have passed
Criminals can now operate between
Europe and America more easily than
they could operate nifty years ago be-
tween different parts OF the same coun-
try. Our secret service and department
OF justice should be so expanded and

SHALL BUILDING BE EN-
CoURAGED7

Shall the building OF dwelling houses
be stimulated by legislation or shall Il
be permitted to make 3 gradual recov-
cry as general conditions are read
tus,ed? This Is a question which is oc-
cupling the attention Of both state ana
rational lawmakers. as well as real es'
tate men and the general public.
The need for a large number OF houses
Is known TO everyone. 1t IS dlnicuIs to
rent a house In Wheeling or In almost
any other city. a recent convention OF
health officials in New York adopted
resolutions declaring that overcrowdins
Is causing an increase IN the death ratio
OF children and a decrease In health
morale and morality.
In this connection. Senator William NJ.
Calder will urge congress to pass Dill
exempting, from taxation all building
mortgages up to $4,000. He believes
tina, this would stimulate building all
over the country. housing bureau
In the department OF commerce Is also
to- be asked. The alternative, Senator
Calder believes. would be for congress to
appropriate millions and go into the
building business. He points out that
England Is putting up 100000 houses
for working people. which are to DO
rented az low rate. and that the
French government has offered to fur
nish one-half the cost OF any house
erected 10 relieve the shortage.
II Is not probable that our national
government will go into the building
business. as the tendency just now Is 10
keep the government out OF activities
that rightly belong TO private enter
prise. Al the present time, money In
vested in mortgages Is taxed twice. Tho
man who holds the mortgage Is taxed
on the full amount and tho man who
has borrowed the money Is taxed on the
full assessed value OF tho property.
This IS Of course a poor time TO reduce
revenues, but IL II be found necessary
% the public welfare, a law to provide
Tor single instead OF double taxation OF
mortKake money would unquestionably
encourage building. The real estate
men believe that the Increased number
Of buildings 20 be taxed would make up
tor the loss In revenue.

A GOOD PLAN

In common with most other foreign
countries. Germany has adopted policy
OF limiting importations. The Berlin
government is encouraging trade only
on the basis Of an exchange Of commod-
tiles and seeks TO limit imports 10 such
articles as will encourage German pro-
duction and form a market for German
labor.
This Is an excellent plan. The ex-
change rate on the German mark is 50
low that to pay for imports In German
money Is q ruinous proceeding. Ex-
change OF commodities IS not only FAR
more profitable to the Germans but also
opens DIP markets for German products
Tho recovery OF Germany Is an i'm
portant factor IN the restoration Of gen.
eral world prosperity and II IS pleasing
TO SEQ Berlin making a real effort TO
place the country on It's feet.
