We need broader, firmer, deeper
faith in the pcople--a faith that men
desire to do right, that the common
wealth is. founded upon righteousness
which will endure, a reconstructed faith

dering to their selfishness, merchandise
ing with the clamor Of the hour, but to
statesmen, ministering to their welfare,
representing their deep, silent, abiding
convictions.
Statutes must appeal to more than
material welfare. Wages won't satisfy,
be they never so large. Nor houses, nor
lands, nor coupons, though they fall
thick as the leaves of autumn. Man has
spiritual nature. Touch it, and it
must respond as the magnet responds
to the pole. To that, not to selfshness,
let the laws of the commonwealth ap-
peal. Recognize the immortal worth and
dignity Of man. Let the laws of Massa-
chusetts proclaim to her humblcst citi-
zen, performing the most mental task,
the recognition of his manhood, the rec
ognition that all men are peers, the
humblest with the most exalted, the
Such is the path to equality before the
law. Such is the foundation of liberty
under the law. Such is the sublime revc-

Bloated Bourgeois

tFrom The Philadelphia Inquirer
Lenine has found new game for the
self-respccting workman who saves hi,
money and thus acquires what used to
be called stake in this country. He is
member OF "thc opportunist, aristo-
cratic working class" in England and
in other countries as well--"he is the
worst foe Of BoIshcvism."
This may readily be believed. An in
telligent man who is making his way in
the world Is seldom deluded by half
baked social theories, especially when,
as In the case Of Russia, he can see them
in operation and discover just how dam
gerous to his ewn wellbeing they are.

New Houses, and at Once

The vital item in the program of
housing legislation as reported
agreed on at Albany is the ten-year
exemption of new dwellings from
taxation.
Other proposals have value, but
not great. Some hay do actual harm
if the legislation is not most care
fully drawn. For example, rents
will not be lowered or new habita-
tions not provided if the landlord
business is made non~paying one.
This has been fatally demonstrated
by the laws of last spring, which
have been one factor in intensifying
the housing shortage. May the
Legislature have the stamina to hold
out against clamor for measures
that its members know will do no
good!
But the tax exemption on new
dwellings offers something substan-
tial. Taxation now being about 8
per cent, a landlord, so far as con-
Germs his improvements, will be able
to fix his rent on the basis of per
cent return and be as we'll off as
now, with rents on 8 per cent basis.
This will mean new houses. It will
also mean work for the building
trades, now approaching winter with
little employment in sight.
1t is not accurate to call the ex-
emption subsidy. 1t will have the
stimulating effect of a subsidy, but
is not strictly one. No money 1Uill
DC tuhcn from the public treasury, as
the exemption will apply only to new
construction. If the new housings
are not built there'll be nothing to
tax. The public treasury, instead of
losing, will gain at the expiry of the
exemption period.
The way to beat down rents is
through competition. Extortionate
landlords, wishing to avoid this COM
petition, and thus to be able to mark
up rents yearly, are quietly laboring
to hamstring the tax exemption pro-
vision, but it may be assumed that
the Legislature is not fooled.
But is the proposed tax exemption
constitutional? Lawyers who have
studied decisions which involve the
same principle say that it is-espe-
cially if it shall appear, which is a
fact, that the exemption is in the in
terest Of safeguarding the public
health.
The public looks to the Legisla-
ture to do something real to put he
housing crisis in the way Of solu-
ton. 1t is wearied with quackery--
wants no more fakes and frauds. II
would have new houses. 1t wants
a chance for choice when hunting
for a fiat
On the Governor rests a grave re-
sponsibility. So also on the two
houses Of the Legislature. The best
way for them to meet it is to put
first legislation which at once means
more dwellings, and the beginning OF
building boom.

Broun says of Charles Chaplin, once
city editor Of The Evening World.
Whether he captured Martin Green as

Chaplin got Cobb he had written as
high grade newspaper stuff as has been
written, which was his covering of the
Peace Conference at Portsmouth in
1905 for The Evening Sun; Bob
Richie had been doing conspicuously
fine reporting for The Sun--his stories
of the days before the Jeffries- j Crimson

that horseradish has nothing to do with horse,

fellow passengers who were uniformly respectful

rigid economy and the merciless excision of waste
and superfuity, will be welcomed eagerly and
steadily sustained by the American people,"

be taken by the next president before going to bed
or a spoonful after each meal. Anyway, it sounds
