A SINGULAR CHOICE

LIOW different the result might have been If
Gov Eiler had gone about it in different
way.
Suppose he had made his message to the Legis-
atlre on the traction situation in this city pro-
posal frankly recognizing the cty's own interest in
t1e matter and inviting the cooperation Of mund-
pal authority with State authority.
s,En an attitude would have been no more anisS
now than II was eleven years ago when, regardless
Of the laws exact definitions Of authority, State
Public Service Commission conferred and worked
with the Board Of Estimate at every stage Of put
ting through The subway contracts and planning the
Dual System.
Harmonious action s,secred by the simple
cOmmon-senSe justice Of admitting the cty's right
10 a voice in its own concerns.
Suppose Gov. Miller had made this right pre-
mise IN his proposal for a new overtauling Of
metropolitan traction systems
Would he have reused the opposition that now
means fighting and delay'
Nothing compelled the Governor to approach the
solution Of the traction problem by serving notice
on tins city that has no legal say about its own
transit affairs.
On the contrary, fairness and tact both pointed
to a very different method as the one best calCu-
,Iaied to hasten what the Governor processes to
desire
Instead Of constructive concentrated DISCUSSION
Of te best way 10 tace transit troubles, what have
we Dow2
The whole emphasis violently shifted to the ques-
ton Of municipal home rule
When the Chief Executive Of the State goes out
Of his way to tel half the people Of the State that
they have no real control over their own immense
and complicated transit system, the great COM
munity thus challenged is bound to assume the
defensive
II self-govermment in Greater New York Is mere
Illusion it's time the fact was made clear.
II New York City has voice IN its own transit
concerns only by the condeSension Of Albany, it's
fine the situation came plainly INTO public view.
Ii statement issued to-day, the City Club OF
New York presents an extended discussion of the
Flexible Fare, or Serice-atICoE plan from the
point Of view Of conditions in New York. The
CITY Clubs report on the Flexible Fare IS entitled
TO careful study preliminary to comment.
With respect, however, to Gov. Miller's assertion
that the traciou problem 'fS not a local problem"
the City Clubs position is Suucinctly and sum-
nIarily defined: J.
The club maintains that transit IS pri-
mariy q local problem and that no plan
formulated by such . commission as the Coy
ernor proposes should take effect until after
1t has received the approval of the Board of
Estimate or else OF the voters Of the city at
referendum election.
That IS strongly the opinion Of this cty and its
Government
It an attempt to trample down that opinion was
ths hest start the Governor could see toward set
ding New Yorks traction difficulties, he must take
tle consequences of a singular choice.

PrescriptiOn Changes.
To tAs niltoE Of Tte Evoning World:
In a recent article, "A. E F. OBoy"
complains Of being charged "S5 cents
or more" for prescriptions, and asks
why the price Is not reduced when
the prescription Is refilled.
"a r. +. O'Boy" shows an utter
lark OF knowledge regarding the sub
iect. The average druggist does not
change "s5 cents or more" for pre-
fcriptions. The price charged Is con-
! tlngent upon the time consumed in
the cOEnpounding and the cost Of the
| ingredients Thus, the price OF a
prescription may range from rs cents
| 10 a few dollars.
! A few druggists make a practice
OF deductlnE 10 cents when the pre-
Bnrption is compounded second
| time. In order TO make this 'reduc-
tiou" the 10 cents is added TO thr
regular price when first obta'ne'

10 the Bditog Of IRs Evening World:
Your editorial Of this date states
that Merchants and manufacturerb
have seen the light and have re-
duced prices due to the non buying
strike.
Have they? A careful survey 'of
the clothing and shoe stores OF the
retail merchants wih show. that
clothing and shoes of the worth

hold on their high-price labels.

to be buncoed by fake reduction
sales wherein slow prices furnish
one with inferior and almost worth

to be true OF even the reliable stores.
This same opinion Is shared by the

Delinquent Tax List
Largest in 26 Years

The delinquent tax list, found IN
today's Enterprise, is the largest in
this county in 26 years. In fact, for
the past several years there have
been no delinquent lists published,
While there were some delinquent
taxes each year, both under the
Brooks and Moore administrations,
these gentlemen carried the taxes in
many instances for some Of their
friends-and, by the way, we under
stand are still carrying them, Trus-
tee Brooks losing nearly 81 600,
which amount he paid for his friends.
But under the new law Trustee
Eanes is not permitted to do this. He
is required to publish each delin-
quent and must certify the entire
list to the comptroller of Tennessee.
Heretofore it was the custom,
under the law, to sell this property
at the court house door, but under
new law this will be handled from
the comptroller's office in Nashville,
and juding from the lengthy lists
in all the counties the comptroller
will be forced to engage an army OF
assistants for the next ten years for
this years work.

Cheatham Pope, colored. He is in
the third grade at school, but has all
along manifested a disposition to
discuss the lesson topics, and recent
ly he was found to be deeply inter-
ested in the Bible.
A few days ago he went to Pal
billie and some of the merchants in
vited the boy to preach for them on
the streets. He took his text from
St. Peter, after singing song and
having prayer, and to the astonish-
ment of his crowd of hearers deliv-
cred sermon that would do credit
to veteran minister of the gospel.

A Rapid Cultiva-
ton of Corn Crop

The next three weeks will find
many Weakley county farmers con-
fronted with the work of cultivating
corn and other crops. At the same
time the early planting is ready for
cultivation there will likely be some
bottom and other fields to break and
plant. Hence time for doing the
work that one knows that is need
ed will be the problem.
There cannot be more efficient
and at the same time more rapid
method, in the opinion of the Coun-
ty Agent, of cultivation than run
ming deep furrow once to middle
This can be done with either a dou-
BILE shovel, single shovel or ras-
tus. Either will do good work or the
two-horse cultivator. Such a cult
walton can also be done while await
ing, for corn to get large enough to
cult vate, hence a stitch in time, and
can be done by the boy who is learn
ing to plow for the first time, In
fact a boy had rather do such plow-
ing than go to town on Saturday at
ternoon, as it is easy done and rapid.
Such work done more than kills
the small Gro poi grass that is com
ing, as it permits air to enter the
sell and places US in good shape for
the rain that may follow. This cen-
ter furrow being done and no ram
following, the straddle harrow can
be used, when the crop will be in
shape for either a wet spell or dry
condition.
Such a working can be repeated
behind each rain, or each week UNI
It'll knee high or till time permits
going over with cultivator. Cultivat-
ing corn or other crops four or five
times before they are knee-high
saves much of the later cultivation
and no unnecessary time spent when
work is done rapidly. Early culti-
walton saves much time later and
gives plants a good start. Siding off
corn at the first working is slow
work and much practice often keeps
one behind with work.
