New-York tribune., 1920-04-30

tinued. 1--WE have been voting away
literally billions, with almost never
quorum of the Senate present. Alb
senteeism has become such that with
few exceptions roll calls have required
to be repeated and the sergeant-at-
arms sent for absentees in order to get
q quorum. Repeatedly we have
avoided roll calls lest they develop
lack of quorum and cause delays.
"We will appropriate five or six bill
lions for the years expenses of the
government. We have passed two de-
ficiency bills already, and Immediately
will pass another. The next Congress
will simply repeat this.
"We passed bill adding $65 100000
to the Civil War pension roll with not
dozen Senator's voting for it and not
half as many against it; yet it en-
bodied principle many of us regard
utterly indefensib!e; the principle of
giving gratuities to a class of people
regardless Of their necessities. But it
is easier to yield to the power of the
G. A. R., and then for the two parties
to indulge mutual recriminations for
extravaganza, than to stand against
these demands.
"Now a soldiers bonus of two or
three billions is demanded, and in the
House an insurance plan is proposed
to raise it to perhaps Sc OO0,000; 200
per cent higher than any previous es-
Inmates. The lobby is tireless, though
nowadays lobbys are called by finer
names; they are legislative committe cs
and the like.
People Must Pay
"Of course, the money for the bonus
will be raised by indirect taxation;
but it all amounts to making one sec
ton of the community pay what is dis
tributed in another The profteer may
be aimed at, on the ground that it is
only fair he should help the soldiers;
or the excess profits tax may be raised.
But however it is done, the people will
be told they are to be shielded from
the burden, and then the people will
pay it. We will be assured we are only
paying the dole of a nation from a
tainted fund; that we are giving the
loot of the wicked to the poor and de-
serving.
only one thing stands between the
people and this monstrous imposition.
That is the aroused and determined
opposition of the taxpayers. Every in
tercst that wants something for nothing
IS organized and represented here
labor, prohibition, railroads, Czecho-
Slovaks, Poles, pensioners, pro-mili-
tarists, and militarists, and all the
rest--all but the taxpaying body. Every
raid on the treasury means added cost

tenants who are conducting private
rent strikes of their own often will
prevent the clearing of the premises.
Van Men Demand Raise
In addition to all this, there comes
this year the elimination of the move
ment which has been going on for
some time to make all leases expire
October 1. The landlords have been
working toward this end for several
years, as it results in their having
fewer vacant apartments on their
hands in normal conditions. Formerly
many apartments were vacant during
the summer, the tenants whose leases
ended May l leaving the city and TAX
ing short leases in the fall on their
return. The October l lease breaks
up this custom--to the great profit of
the landlord.
Two things this year have made the
change almost complete-the number
Of cases settled by the Mayors Com
mittee during past months in which
October l was set as the date of termi-
nation Of the agreement and the new
rent law, which provides that all
verbal or monthly leases shall expire
automatically on that date
Beside the danger of having moving
vans tied up through inability to de-
liver the first loads they get to-mor-
row, the tenants who try to move face
two other troubles and will have to
meet one Of them. The union of van
employees has demanded IS a week
increase from $28 to $32 week and
threatens to strike Monday unless this
demand is met.
If the moving van people meet the
demand, the cost will come back on
the tenants, who already are faced
with charges about 25 per cent above
those of last year If they do not meet
1T, there will be no moving. The
scarcity Of persons moving tins year
has already driven many of the van
companies to financial straits.
Both in downtown business Offices
and in loft buildings there will be con-
siderable activity. 1t is estimated that
about 800 brokers alone have planned
to move, because of the need of in
creased quarters or of the action Of
owners of office building in putting up
rents in certain localities A large
number of loft tenants, also, are plan
ming to move in the hope of decreas-
ing rentals. There is movement on
to declare Wall Street holiday on
Saturday to permit readjustments
without financial loss.
Inc highest record for tenants com
plants, SO far as Magistrate Corrigan
IS concerned, was hung up yesterday
when twenty-one tenants in a house at
NO. IS East 118th Street. owned by
Mrs: Helen Fuld, sixty, of No. 2s West
128th Street, appeared against her.
Mrs. Fuld is owner of much property
in that section of the city and when
Magistrate Corrigan heard the com
plants he declared that already he had
received twentynine complaints from
other tenants against her. This is
a record in Harlem, Corrigan said.
Mrs: Fuld's tenants charged that she
cut off the water supply three weeks
ago because they refused to pay rent

Leonard Fuld, her son and LAWYER.

SATURDAY NIGHT
MEANS LITTLE TO
BALKAN PEOPLE

SOFIA. Bulgaria, October ID
Disease in the Balkans is looked
upon by the people as a result OF
fate The peasantry has been edu-
Gated in superstitionS rather than
in the laws of sanitation. They are
opposed to the killing Nf mosquitoes,
rats. flies and vermin, believing that
they are part of life. They know
nothing about the carriers OF dis-
ease. The importance of protecting
their food supplies from winged IN
sects has not been impressed upon
them. Little or no attempt is made
to drain mosquito pools or marshes,
so that the Balkan states claim tne
distinction of having some or the
worst malarial sections on earth.
The peasant has little faith in med
ical science How can bug give
us typhus?" they ask. Every Nv
ing thing harbors insects. why not
man? If the good God sends u.s. as
ease and misfortune. we believe that
he knows best"
In most districts in the Balkans
the houses of the rural population
are small and poorly constructed;
Many of them are built of mud ana
straw and have no provision lor SAN
itation or ventilation. The onfy ar
admitted to the homes is obtained
through accidental imperfectlons III
construction. A few of the houses
have two stories. the lower floor be-
ing occupied by the horses and cat
tie, the upper by the family. In such
houses as these families live crowd
ed together under the most unhy-
gienic conditions.
Years pass without doctor enter
ing the huts. Disease goes untreated
In the country districts dentistry is
virtually unknown.
Rath tubs are rare in the Balkans,
even in the larger cities. The peo-
Die in that part of Europe rarely
wash.
