Music Season Opens With Caruso Opera
San Carlo Company Sings La Forza del Destino" at
the Manhattan to Big Audience.

The San Carlo Opera Company began
its annual season OF moderately grand
opera at the Manhattan Opera House

Fortune Gallo. is to give performances
of opera at low prices. Success long ago

The Congress Tax Test.

Congress is now considering tax
measures which will not be good for
the business OF the country, and it is
dangerously doubtful whether they
can provide the revenues which the
national Treasury needs. This is not
financial wisdom; II is not common
sense.
The United States Government
will have to spend in the current
year gigantic sum. At the worst
1t may go far beyond, at the best It
cannot shade under. four billions OF
dollars.
Not to make sure of putting into
the Treasury the funds which the
Government will require to pay its
bills is to plant crop of fiscal blum
ders which will be harvested before
the Congress elections of 1922 as a
political scandal. Not to raise what
revenues do go into the Treasury
without further weakening the coun.
try's overstrained Industrial frame
work would be to commit an eco.
nomic crime.
Senator SMooT is urging Congress
to adopt the sound principle and
productive practice Of the sales tax.
1t can be applied at either terminal
of business transactions or at any
point in between. 1t can be modified
as the country's economic condition
suggests and as the Government IS
financial necessities permit.
But in any event the sales tax of.
fered by Senator SMooT can be made
to produce the revenue; 1t will not
continue the hamstringing of Ameri-
can industry, 1T will not be a dead
weight on American business, 1t will
not be a noticeable charge upon, ii
will not be even an annoyance to, the
American worker and consumer.
A sales tax formulated, laid and
collected on the plan Of Senator
SMooT could be made, in fact. to turn
two billions of dollars a year into
the United States Treasury, IL as
much as that should be required OF
1t, and not put upon the American
people an average per capita cost of
one-third what the national railway
transportation bill is to them. And
at the same time it would save the
rank and file of American consumers
two, three and four dollars, now
gouged out of them in concealed tax
costs and exactions. for every dollar
going from them into the United
States Treasury.

Six Weeks From To-day.

The counsel TO the Meyer commit
tee, ELoN Brown, reminds the pub,
lie that the committees prime busi-
ness is collecting information to be
used in the revision Of this city 5
charter
That is true. But what the citi-
zens are thinking now, after the
recent revelations, is that a charter
can't do everything.
No charter can make this well
and honestly managed city unless the
people choose the right men to carry
out the charters provisions. The
charter is only an instrument de-
signed to be carefully used. In the
hands of stupid or dishonest men it
is dangerous tool.
The charter, for instance, gives to
the Dock Commissioner and the Sink
ing Fund Commission the same broad
powers over the city piers that the
stockholders. of the most successful
corporations give to their presidents
and boards Of directors. Those very
powers, so useful when properly
employed, have been lent to bring
about the dock scandal shown UP
ly the Meyer committee.
A charter necessarily assumes that
the freedom it grants will be used
honestly and intelligently. 1t leaves
the Penal Code to take care OF wrong.

that will prevent the grafters from
getting $4,O00.O0O more from those
twenty-four pier leases IL no officials
stand in their way.
No American city ever placed such
power and responsibility in the
hands of individuals as New York
does. The Mayor and the Commits
sioners whom he appoints are free
to do almost anything with the city.
When that power is abused the peo-
pie must throw the guilty admins

First Labor Day.
1t Was Celebrated by n Picnic In
Lion Park In 1881.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD David
j. Murdock is mistaken when he says
Labor Day originated in the mind OF
the late Senator Edward F. Reilly"
l believe It Is true that Senator Reilly
introduced the bill which made Labor
Day a legal holiday in this State. but
Labor Day had been an unofficial holi-
day for the labor unions in New York
city for several years prior to 1887,
when Senator Reilly introduced his BILL
The proposition to make the first
Monday in September a holiday for the
labor unions originated at a meeting OF
the Central Labor Union in old Clar-
cndon Hall, Thirteenth street near
Fourth avenue. The Central Labor
Union held It's regular meetings in that
hall every Sunday afternoon. These
meetings were addressed by the labor
leaders OF that day, among whom were
William Ernst and by newspaper men
like John Swinton and Leander Richard
son and Louis Il. Post
II was at one OF these meetings In the
summer OF 1881 that one Of the above
named men made the Labor Day pro-
posal, and on the first Monday OF Sep
tembcr in the same year the first hoii-
day was celebrated by procession and
a picnic IN Lion Park. where addresses
we're made by Louis Il. Post, Samuel
Gompers and others. Mr.. Post was
until March last Assistant Secretary
Of Labor. Senator Reillys bill only
made the day an official holiday.

The Singers Gold Coast.

The opening Of the opera houses in
the different cities of Europe has not,
contrary to expectation, tended in
the least TO diminish the number OF
singers who will soon be headed
toward these shores. They will be
quite as numerous as they were at
any time during the last five years.
The end Of the war may have opened
the doors of some of the Continental
opera houses, but only those are will
ing to stay there who cannot get
away. Music in Europe Is recover
ing slowly from the effects Of the
long struggle. Opera, above ALL is
dependent on economic conditions.
Nowhere in Europe is there such
prosperity as will assure the lavish
support of this expensive diversion.
So there will be the usual invasion.
1t has already begun to land on these
golden shores. Singers from Italy
find In the ruin of Russia the loss of
an El Dorado which in the past
ranked only second to this country.
Italian singers were more appre-
ciated in Russia than anywhere else
beyond their own frontiers. French
artists have usually found greatest
appreciation at home, although there
have been in the past some artists
that achieved international fame.
They sang, however, the repertoire
Of GoUNop, BIzET and THOMAS, who
are not the composers of the day.
Few German artists during recent
years have been invited to other
countries to sing any but the music
Of RICHARD WAGNER. 1t is chiefly in
the works Of this composer that the
recruits from German opera houses,
who are now again spreading over
the operatic world, will be heard.
They must be added this year to the
musical immigrants and they will
| be found here for the first time in
several seasons.
Every nation will be represented
on the programmes OF the various
opera companies here and in Chicago
and on the wing. There will even
be Americans, although 1t Is not
encouraging to native pride that they
are usually to be found in the less
important posts.

Disarmament and Work.
Twin Questions the League Of Ma.
tions Has Failed to Answer.

To THE New York HERALD: The
world is astonished by the attitude Of
the League of Nations in declaring its
inability to handle and solve the prob
lem of disarmament according to Mr..
Viviani's report on disarmament. Mr..
Viviani justifies his assertion through
the refusal of the military Powers to
recognize a policy of preventing further
increase Of new armaments.
The nations representatives criticise
the present situation as lacking active
support from nations not represented In
the Assembly, namely. the United States.
Germany and Russia. Consequently their
agreement as regards the disarmament
problem could not have universal appli-
cation. Regarding Britain. France, italy
and Japan, they have substantiated their
purpose of not disarming without the
cooperation of the United States.
Furthermore. the League has failed in
solving the land problem of disarma-
ment. intrinsically European one, on
account of the opposition of the major
ity Of the nations in the Assembly. At
the same time they are willing to leave
the naval disarmament question to be
discussed in Washington. But the truth
as exposed by the commission deals
with economical problems. Some coun-
tries possess abundance Of natural re-
sources that change them into manufac-
turing nations, privilege not enjoyed
by all Of them.
Whether this problem be discussc
In Geneva or in Washington. the points
worth while discussing are: the llmita-
tions of armaments as affecting solid
and established industries and conse-
quently the restrictions Of capital, and
second the urgency of straight and
effective cooperation of all nations to
solve the disarmament problem.
Regarding the first point the commits
sion informs us that a suspicious prop
aganda is being fomented by the arma-
ment Arms with the tendency of stirring
up nations to war and that this fact
compels the League or any other organi-
zation Of the kind to prevent II. In
cur judgment the latter suggestion is OF

and 1t enjoys the help and the protec-
ton OF the powerful nations. And as
these nations are the ones that take
advantage of such a situation they are
the least interested in getting a solu-
ton. what has just happened in Geneva
suppose may occur in Washington
when this question Is discussed.
This question is connected with the
problem OF unemployment, that is. the
work problem. And from this viewpoint
the conference to be held In Washing
ton is OF the utmost Importance. as It
embraces not only the obligation of dis
armament upon the basis OF coordination
and of a better understanding OF ma

Hegedus and Hungary.

The resignation of KoLoMAN He
cEDts. Finance Minister of Hungary,
is another tragedy of the paper
money press. When he took Office at
the end of last year Mr.. HEGEDUs
a series of fiscal reforms
which aroused vigorous protest
within the country. But these re-
forms soon justified themselves in
the rise of the Hungarian crown to
double it's value when the new
Finance Minister assumed charge.
This result was attained by mobil-
izing foreign securities and money
to pay debts abroad and by drastic
taxation. including capital levy.
Government payrolls we're reduced,
appropriations were cut and whole
departments were eliminated. The
programme extended even to the sale
of motor cars formerly used by Gov
ernment officials.
For a time the results we're graft
flying. 1t was not until late in July
that sinister clouds appeared on the
horizon. Even the higher taxes were
not sufficient, after exhaustion Of
non.recurring levies, to meet Govern
ment requirements. Foreign capital
had not come in and production had
not been resumed on scale to sus-
tain the people and State.
News of the Finance Minister'S
resignation is accompanied by infor-
nation that 10000, 100000 paper
crowns will be needed to meet the
budget deficit. This will bring the
money circulation up to 25,000,000,-
600 crowns or more. With such a
prospect it is not surprising that the
Hungarian crown has dropped back
almost to its lowest level and is now
quoted at about seven for one cent.
The former Finance Minister lost
his fight against the paper money
evil not because he lacked either
courage or ability but because he
could not win lone handed struggle
in which infiexible economic law was
against him. Hungary will some
day look with admiration upon
HEGEDUs.
