THAT OBVIOUSLY NEEDED CANAL

IL MIGHT be good thing If the necessity
of an adequate inland waterway between
Philadelphia and New York were open to
tdisputc. Controversy is often helpful to
progress.
Virtually everybody. however. Is agreed
that the reconstruction of the Delaware and
Raritan canal would work an exceed 'rgv
welcome revolution in transportation. New
York and New Jersey business men nave
lately been meeting, reterating the familiar
arguments. expatiating on the obvious An.
other conference was called in this city yes :.
terday by representatives of the War De-
apartment. Its alleged object was to dis
cover the urgency and advisability of the
canal
Well, perhaps the federal government re-
.Quires bit more convincing and renewed
patience may be in order. But surely the
virtue in the $4,000 900 project trans
forming channels of freight transit in three
states is self evident.
What is needed now is visible, practical
beginning of operations that will remove tho
blight Of monotony from a theme in itself
invigorating, fascinating and interest com
pelling in its rich possibilities.

ments of Philadelphia to all the world in the
sesquicentennial celebration of the signing
of the Declaration of Independence. five
years hence?
..'This great event in 1926 should not pass
inadequately noticed. and certainly no city
has clearer prior claim to represent Amer
lea on the occasion than Philadelphia. Con-
sder, then, the fact that something perma-
nent, by force of tradition and sentiment,
must remain from the grouping OF Enclosures
or monuments necessary to the success OF
any exposition, and ask yourself If intelli-
gence does not dictate that the permanent
reminder should be something noble. some
thing stimulating. something the people of
Philadelphia really need.
What are some leading ideas so far ad-
vanced which suggest such worthy needs?
FIRST. the completion Of every possible
public building on the Parkway.
Second, convention hall.
Third. a stadium.
Fourth, n municipal theatre.
Fifth. new location and building for
the Commercial Museum.
Action Of Park Commissioners
1T is not generally known that on July
IA the Fairmount Park Commission took the
initiative in offering certain acres of other
wise unusable land, just north of Girard
avenue and between Thirty third street and
East river drive. for the construction of a
great war memorial. This area forms prac
tically northern limit of the Parkway, with
which it connects directly via Thirty third
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
Not even the Champs Elysees of Paris
nor the Ring Strassc of Vienna nor Pershng
Square in New York nor the Michigan
boulevard Of Chicago has the possibilities
which still are at hand for Philadelphia in
the combination of the Parkway and this
ideal area in East Paramount Park for wal
memorial purposes. And nowhere are the
transportation facilities superior. Take out
your map of the city and look at its posi-
| bilities.

great buildings, plus whatever may b,

, FOR A SENSIBLE BUILDING

TNHE stercotyped conception of a conven-
ton hall rs huge barnlike structure. to
which only immense throngs can impart life,
3s doubtless partly responsible for the chill
which discussion of the subject sometimes
Induces. There is, however, no reason why
an up to date assembly structure should be
. mere cavernous monstrosity, and it is a
sign Of progress that suggestions for the new
municipal undertaking depart from an un-
tappcaling tradition.
A large auditorium is. of course, a ncces-
iGty, but this should not prevent the inclu-
ssion under one roof Of other halls or apart
tments of varying sizes, suited to special
needs. Many of the forces contributing to
1.-THE life of a great American city could be
sofiicially co ordinated in the building,
flor which the proposed site at Parkway,
Eighteenth. Nineteenth and Vine streets
;seems well adapted
Local headquarters Of the American Le-
sgion and other organizations might be estab-
Wished there. A portion Of the structure
might be equipped to house spectacular stage
productions, music festivals, commemorative
.pageants.
Philadelphia does not require n convention
hall that simply langushes in grandiose in
activity. The building, in addition to brinG
beautiful and imposing should be magne,
for a variety of activities. political. com
smercial. artistic. Thus generously planned

indications that their requests will be

The reported opposition of France to the
entrance Of Germany, while 1t significantly
reflects national passions, has also it's aca-
demic aspect. Berlin has not asked for rep
resentation in the society, nor Is German
opinion concerning its future by any means
crystallized. Aspirations in the former en-
pire are concerned with notifications of the
treaty Of Versailles. With that document
the league covenant is inextricably woven. a
fact which must account in n considerable
degree for German hesitancy.
1t is unlikely that the first official pro-
ceedings of the assembly will have much to
do with this subject There are sufficient
immediate problems to occupy the attention
of the delegates. Most of all. there is the
necessity for high minded delberation for
sincerity Of discussion and for methods re-
Elective of the original purpose of the league.
The partnership of the nations has not yet
been fairly tried, for many Of its features,
including the world tribunal, exist as yet
only in theory. The Geneva meeting will be
merely a partial test Of the machinery. IL,
however, the running is smooth and straight
forward, the stability of the organization
cannot fail to be greatly enhanced.

COLONEL GEORGE ROTH
IN War Heroes Memorial Monument

COMPLETION of the proposed great war
~ memorial to honor the men and women
of the city and state who served during the
recent conflict, by 1925. the sesquicentennial
pendence. is urged by Lieutenant Colonel
George Roth. chief Of staff of the Fifty
eighth Field Artillery Brigade and member
of the operations committee OF the Field OF
Honor Association.
1t Is Colonel Roth's opinion that work on
the proposed memorial should be started
very soon IL II Is to be completed In time
for the anniversary celebration OF the sign
ing. He also believes that the money for
such a project should be realized by city and
state appropriations and general individual
contributions rather than a few large con-
tributions from wealthy men, so that every
one may feel that they have part in so
fitting u memorial as this.
at Is fact that while number of other
cities and states have done a great deal
toward permanently recognizing the deeds Of
their heroes, this city and state have so far
done practically nothing to immortalize their
men," says Colonel Roth. ut is true that
the state has laid aside the battlefield at
the Civil War, but our own city and the
state itself in recent wars have in no way,
either by monument, history or in any other
way. shown it's defenders the tribute that Is
their due.

Philadelphia dedicated to the men and women
who served in the dark days of the Civil
War?

be forced by public opinion II IL is organized
and properly directed.
The Real Estate Board Is planning an
investigation of the methods Of the Board of
Revision Of Taxes and it's assessors, for the
purpose Of discovering what is wrong. II
the members of this board are to continue to
do business, something must be done to re-
store the confidence Of the public in the
fairness Of the assessments. Under ordinary
circumstances man will hesitate before in
vesting $4,000 or $4,000 In house on
which he will have to pay from $50 to $500
year in taxes. Such q burden Is too heavy
to be assumed by men Of moderate means
The prosperity of real estate dealers de-
pends on the existence of a buying public,
and there will be no normal buying public
with tax values fixed at wartime figures.
But dissatisfaction with assessments and
tax rates will continue 80 long as the part
nership between ward politics and govern :
ment continues in the City Hall.
II the superfuous employees were dismissed
from the city and county offices the annual
budget could be reduced by millions of dol =
lars. Every one in the City Hall knows
this. They admit 1t in private converse
tions. But they do nothing to change the
conditions. The system seems to be stronger
than they are.
But the thing can be done. AS we pointed
out some weeks ago, Governor Lowden did
it in Illinois when he persuaded the Legis-
lature to reorganize the state departments
and establish budget system. In 1915 the
state tax was $50, 100000. In 1910. after
| the new system was in full operation, the
state tax was only $40, ,440, 900. The gov.
ernor saved the people more than $500 ,00t
a year. At the same rate of economy thu
cost of the government of Philadelphia coult
be reduced $1,000 900, and no one woulc
suffer save the ward leaders whose followers
were thrown out of Office and compelled t
seek private employment.
| When a mass meeting is called to con
slider this question it's efforts should be di
rected toward the taproot Of the evil.
