THE CUP AND THE CALM

THE victory of the Resoute DEM
l. onstrates beyond all question the
high quality of American sailing skill
in windlcSs sea. Such technique,
while it is gratifying to the patriotic
public, is hardly satisfying as an cx-
hibit of the whole science of yachting.
The cxoticism of chalengcrs and cup
dcfaadcrs alike has been for many years
the distinguished characteristic of the
classic contest. 1t had been thought
that limitations on the sSizc of the
competitors would rcCtify this cond-
ton but the thirteenth series seems
only to have emphasized il.
Tho familiar suggestions to hold tho
contests at some other season of the
year and with crafts capable of open
ing stirring negotiations with a genu
inc spanking breeze have long been in
order and are moro than ever pertinent
today. The tirclcss Upton. who has
the applause and sympathy of the
American public, deserves the oppor-
tunity of rCitcruting his challenge with
the arcomnanimcnts of wet sheet and
flowing sea.
The pcrvasivC feeling that we should
still retain the cup aCcpntuatcs the
piQuanry and interest attaching to such
a novelty.

commissioners for full details of the re-
cent peculiar transaction in city bonds
with Commissioner Stotcsbury'S bank
ing house as we'll rs n complete report
of the funds in hand as of August 81

garded itself and its operations aS a
kind of sacrOSanct. cXtrajudirial organ
ism into whose affairs the Urotnnr "iti-
zenry should not poke inHui 1.-two noses.
Its routine reports. according to experts
who have examined them in rcrcu'
years, have required counrilmen to take
too much for granted. They were far
from explicit. but those who sought to
Inquire further were greeted with chill
Ing Indifference.
Councils power to demand all the
facts is unqucstioncd under the new
charter. And since Council deems the
situation worthy of inquiry. it is sure
to work beneficial change in the atti-
tude of the commission toward the
public.

THE TAXATION SPREE
proof II

/ ~ ~
L government of the United States is
engaged in taxation orgy is furnished
by the Treasury Department report for
the fiscal year ended on June 30 last.
During twelve months of peace the fed
cral income exceeded federal expPndi
lures, cXtravagant as they have been,
by moro than S29l 900, 900. The tax
collected was - per cent greater than
that of either Of the war years and
surpassed the official estimates by about
$500 600 .0C0
Prcpo>tcrouS indeed, therefore. is the
financial burden which clumsy and ill.,
digeStcd legislation has compelled the
American people to bear.
The duty of Congress can no longer
be obScured by the greed of overfrd fed
eral departments or wasteful plans to
conSum" the surplus.
Nocdful taxation in war time is un
pleasant. as iS all sacrifice. but the
patriotism and philosophy of-thp nation
are hardy in crisis. Oppressive and
Superfluous asscSspcnts in peace are of
the nature Of outrage.
There is some palliation for congress
Nional negligence during the last ses-
sion. It mi>calculatPd on the federal
income and understimated, in the alb
soncc Of facts now demonstrated, the
amount Of imperative expenditures.
But such excuses will possess no future
authority.
Tho taxation monstrosty must be
reformed. revised, emphatraIy reduced.

THE GREEK SUCCESSES

THE Greek advance into ThraCe Clari-
i ic, one situation and clouds an
other.
Tho rcfuSal Of Turkey some months
ago to surrender the important and
Entente in an embarrassing prediCa-
m"nt. Reluctance to embark upon
ucw war in the Near East was a senti-
mrnt running counter to plans to make
the execution of the Turkish treaty n
reality. Theoretically Adrianoplc was
denied the Ottomans. Practically. they
we're in possession of the Thracan
town.
In the midst of this Quandary the
-hrpwd and capable VPnizeIos suggested
solution. His proposal to employ
the Greek army against rrcalritrant
Turkey was accepted. 1t Is in purEu-
ancp Of this arrangement that the Hell
lenir troops have occupied Adrianople.
But the disposition of the new GrceE
conouests is a problem which the En-
tente probably does not regard with
unmiyPd calm. Nicholas POlitiS, foreign
minister Of Greece and acknowledged
right hand man of Premier NenizrlOS.
now outlines the eastern policy of his
country in a way that treats the re-
tcntion Of AdrianOple a. an accom-
plshed fact.
Unquestionably many of the Greek
claims in ThraCe are valid and strong
Historically their propriety is estab'
lished by the records Of the old Byzan

INSOLVENT SCHOOLS

CIMON GRATX'S analysis of the

though perhaps Il triHc bClatcd. The
dependence q tIc Ioarl of Education
upon organized public financial support
was discussed and yet insutficicntly ON
phaSizcd recently when thr $1,000 900
school loan failed lamcntnbly.
The damage, however. can still be
repaired. as Mr.. Gratz suggests. by a
change in the tactics of the citizens
committee. shelving the plan to secure
an advance of 800. 900 in favor of a
campaign productive of loan Subscrip-
tions for like amount by the sale
of properties belonging to the board the
sum available for increasing the teach
crS' wages can be raised to 81 300, 900.
The opportunity for a practical dis
play of public spirit is unqucStionably
mt hand. An obligation now rests di-
rcctly upon the afflucnt citizens Of Phil
adelphia who can. il they will. invest
in the schools. As wealth goes nova
days. the sum required is not large.
Without it. however, tn" Board Of Ed
uCation is financially crippled. and the
shame of undcrpaid teachers Will per-
sist.
The relief Immediately sought is Of
course only temporary. for the major
responsibility rests on the Legislature.
Mr.. Graft. like everybody else. is under
no illusions regarding II really serious
crisis Now schools are badly needed,
Only the fact that building hero i vir
tually at standstill shifts the emphasis
from the inability of the board to pay
for the work at the cXorbitunt present
rates.
Viewed as a whole. it may be said
that the entire school system of Penn
Sylvania is at present insOlvcnt. Finan
rial reorganization and complete re-
vision and expansion of appropriation
methods is necessary before this COM
monwralth can begin to measure up to
the educational standards and resources
of its great sister states.

COST OF DISTRIBUTION

TF WE may believe the Dock street
l. produce dealers. tt high cost Of
vegetables is due to the high cost Of
delivery. They have potatoes for 81 -
for basket containing five cighthS of
a bushel. while the retailer sells the
same potatoes for twenty five cents for
quarter of a peck. or at the rate Of
$3.50 for the basket. CucumhprS that
retail for five cents apioc" sell whole.
sale for seventy five cents basket. and
apples and onions are fifty cents a
basket and cantaloupcs arc S1.GJ a
crate.
These prices are interesting to house
holders, but unless they have an auto
mobile they find it impossible to go to
Dock street for their vegetables a.
they have no way to get them home.
A crate of cantalouDeS or basket of
apples or potatoes is too heavy to carry.
The retailer who has his delivery wagon
or automobile has to charge his custom
ers for going for the vegetables. and
:, then he also has to charge them for the
labor of handling them in small guam
Titles. There is no more expensive way
to buy potatoes than by the quarter
peck. So long as people buy in this
way they will have to pay for it.
