HIGH COST OF DANCING

CERMANIS budget for the current
~ fiscal year calls for the expcndi
ture of about 10000. 900. 900 marks.
Reckoning the mark at its pre- war
value, this amounts to about $40, 200, e
OOO. 900
The finance minister estimates that
only about $1,000, 900. 900 marks can
be raised under tho present taxes and
that new taxes will have to be levied
to raise the remainder. A personal
property tax has been proposed, but no
action has been taken.
Taxes are levied at present on in q.
comes. dividends. inheritances. business
turnover, imports. exports, coal, to-
bacco, bank reserves and corporations.
OF the 10000, 900. 900 marks to be
raised, about 2S,OOO. 900. 900 are for
the ordinary expenses of government
and the remainder for expenses growing
out Of the war. No provision is made
for the collection of money to pay the
war indemnity. for the amount of the
indemnity is not yet known.
When one considers this budget one
is impressed with the truth of the old
remark that the man who dances must

or MORE Importance than the dc D..
" tails of the bribery plot which is
said to have grown in the City Council
out of the bill to grant a special trolley
franchise on part of the Roosevelt
boulevard is the question Of the intcg-
rity Of the new Council itself. Mr..
Rotap, Mayor Moore and the members
Of the committee which has the inquiry
in charge might as we'll realize now
that a failure to fully explain the cpl
sode of Mr.. Schmidt and his Mystery
Man will cause more bitter general re
sentiment than an actual exposure OF
pcrhdy in a few members of the new
chamber.
The surface Of the case alone has
been touched in the Investigation that
Will be resumed this week. Below the
surface there may be much or little.
The boulevard trolley bill is unsatis
factory as it stands. Under any cir
cumstanccs it might be expected Ia
meet with honest and rational opposi .
tioD in the Council 1t actually guar
antees nothing to the people who will
have need of add .tional trolley facili
ties. It does grant the =. r. r. a
new and valuable franth hisc. Strange
methods are sometimes adopted to force
such bills through. Even stranger
methods have been used by. dishonest
officials who do not hesitate TO dig for
graft wherever they think it may be
found. ~
Where there is an unpleasant odor
there is usually something rotten. and
the appearance Of Schmidt at the
Mayors office, no matter what motive
prompted the visit. indicates a need
for the unsparing light upon all ncgo
tiations relative to the boulevard fran
chiSc. That is what the public expects.
1t is too bad that business man ap
preached by bribc seeker didn't take
tho trouble, for his own protection and
the protection of the city, to learn his
visitors name and the names of tho
people he represented. But that is for
the time aside. What is clear is that
some efforts are being made to obstruct
tho inquiry. Such efforts will not be
tolerated. The new Council has great
powers. If one or more of its members
are actually crooked. the whole scheme
Of municipal government which was
founded on tho new charter will be
endangered. It may be difficult to
protect the city altogether from the
consequences Of such dishonesty. But
the public should be forewarned in
order that it may be better able TO
guard its own interests in the future

This is true enough, upon acceptance
of the automatic truth that surface cars

1T SUITS WILSON'S PLANS

WHEN the House of Representa-
w gtiyes passed the resolution for
separate peace with Germany. which
n displaced in the Senate by the Knox
resolution, this newspaper remarked
that the President could ask for no bot
ter opportunity to reopen the treaty
question than would be afforded by the
passage of such resolution by both
houses of Congress.
The President seems TO have per-
eeiyed the force of the suggestion for
word has come from the White House
that he would like to have an oppor-
funity to veto tho resolution The
\ Democrats in the Senate are likely to
take the hint and allow him to have
his say.
The advocates of separate peace arc
playing into the hands Of the President
whether they know II or not. The
President knows it and all the IN
prejudiced observers outside Of Wash
ingtoni are also aware Of it.
