NOT DOUBTFUL LAWS BUT HOMES.

4 LDERMAN COLLINS'S ordinance to regulate
"A tax exemption for new homes is bad be-
cause it makes exemption political question. Any
member of the Board OF Estimate can veto any
exemption. He can hold his vote over prospec-
tive builder. Such power might prove a fertile
field for graft or for repayment of political grudgeS
The board has trouble enough in arriving at con-
eiusions even by majority vote, let alone by
u1animity.
The La Glariia plan would be better, because
II lays down general rules. The AderNnic PreSi-
dents proposal not to exempt luxury building
from taxation is attractive in theory In practice
there is grave doubt whether the courts would con-
strue such an arrangement as in harmony with the
Legislative Enabling Act. It would be challenged
as "claSS legislation"
Borough President Curan proposes tax exemp-
ton in the words Of the Enabling Act. One court
tes. would de,ide the whole question.
Tax exemption is he one constructive remedy
now available, New York needs homes, and needs
them now.
Apart from the constitutional question, Mr.. la
Gulrda's arguments against exempung taxes on
costly private homes and luxurious apartments are
more plausible than valid Exemption of taxes on
expensive building will affect rents in all classes of
dwellings.
When A moves from an expensive apartment to
his new home B. of smaller income will be able
TO rent the vacant apartment at a smaller rent than

be available for some one in more moderate finan-
cizl standing and so on down the line. Some
families now doubled up will be able to have sePa-
rate apartments.
What New York needs is more homeS-rnore
rooms in which growing population can live.
ANY addition to the number of rooms will help.

READY For THE CURVE.

IN ANSWERING certain questions put to him by
The Evening World, ex-Presdent Taft ex-
pressed confidence last August that President Har-
ding will ultimately conclude it to be wiser to enter
the League with the Lodge reservations than to at
tempt to carry out the same purpose through
new form of association"
The Evening Worlds Washington correspondent
reports that Mr.. Taft and other pro-League Repub-
leans are now more than ever sure that President
elec5 Harding will favor going into the existing
League.
Efforts are already being made to show that SEN
ator Hardng's campaign rejecuons Of TIE League
were not meant to apply to the whole covenant
but only to Article X.
The obvious first question is: What will johnson
and Borah say?
The answer is that since November it makes
far less difference what they say.
Before election the "bitter-enders" were power
Of the first importance, because they represented
the extreme Of anti-Wilsonism.
II was the prediction duty of Republican leaders
to provide every possible raIying point for hatred
Of the Wilson League and the Wilson Ad'hnis-
hation
Borah and Johnson supplied flags and battle
cries for the most rabd of the Wilson-haters.
Senator Hardng's campaign utterances regarding
the League were 50 many recognitions OF this fact.
But with the great victory won, the situation IS
altered.
Professed Leaguehaters in the Republican Party
included large numbers whose hatred of the League
was only incidental to their hatred of Woodrow
Wilson
Satisfied that the result of the election has suf-
fciently dissfedei Mr.. V .lson, many of these Re-
publicans would be ready 10 accept the existing
covenant with very Slight revisions-particularly
as they begin to be aware, in post-elcction calm,
that staying out of the League is Increasingly bad
for business.
They are only waiting for some Republican
statesman to plot a mastery curve that shall take
the country into the existing League under Repub-
lcan auspices
And we are told Elhu Root is due for a con-
ference at Marion Dec. 10.

fits A few dollars to the poor man means even
more than tax exemption to a rich man.
The Evening World has no hesitation in recon-
mending the passage Of the Curan ordinance
NOW
It is imperative that exemption should be de-
cded on without delay SO that court tests may be
made during the winter months and building simu-
lated in the spring. Time is the essence Of the
matter.

SIT STEADY.

WILLIAM H. BARR, President of the Nationa
w Founders Association, in a sweeping and
general attack on labor unonism at the Hotel Aston
Wednesday declared
'The open shop assures fairness to en-
ployee and employer alike. It means the Ina
provement Of plant relations the elimination
Of class prejudice and a united influence in
opposition to injustice"
Such a statement is nonsense, and a particularly
dangerous sort of nonsense.
Equally nonsensical and equally dangerous have
been recent statements from Samuel Gompers con-
demning introduction of labor-saWng machinery.
After his conference with the Executive Com
mtee of the American Federation Of Labor, Mr..
Hoover was asked whether he believed in the prn-
cipls of closed shop.
Mr. Hoover's answer was:
THAT is hardly fair question Conditions
Of work vary greatly that rule of uni
versal application would probably not be
WISE"
Here IS a common-SenSe statement. It is a re-
Election Of a type of thinking which other thinking
Americans may well copy.
An exceedingly easy form of mental laziness is
the habit of making broad concentrations on the
basis Of a few facts and then applying these gen.
Civilizations to other circumstances regardless of the
facts.
That is what Mr. Barr did That is what Mr..
Gompers did.
America is not ready for either the CLOSED shop
or the "open shop" Few know what the terms
mean, and they have different meanings to differ
ent people.
When the need arises to form an opinion on an
industrial question: ask for the facts of the specific
dispute. Try to discover whether "closed Shop
conditions have led to abuses in that particular in.
dustry. Find out what the record of the employer
may have been under the "open shop" Consider
opinions of men who know the field they are dis
cusSing.
As an excellent example Of how the public should
study industrial problems may be recalled the state
ment of William B. Dickson, Vice President of the
Miivale Steel and Ordnance Company, before a
recent convention of mechanical engineers.
Mr.. Dickson vigorously attacked several labor
fallacies, but he described the steel corporation
policy as "auocracy" possibly benevolent" but
retaining chat relic of barbarism, the twevehour
day, as we'll as some fairly large remnants Of the
seven-day week."
Mr.. Dickson knows the steel business He does
not defend "Garyisn."
"Garysm" is ndefensble So, too, is 'Brinoell
ism" One results from the "open shop" the
other from the CLOSED shop The two together
show the futlty Of generalization on such large ans
imperfectly defined principles.
Now is an excellent time to sit steady and no
rock the industrial boat. Examine the facts in eact
case with an open mind. Help public opinion t
tax. reasonable and sensible course.
