II declare &c you that II is high time
to insist that there must be present at
every discussion OF taxation the SOLDERING
truth that the tax burden is carried by
all the people OF the United States. ami
from their toll and effort alone can taxes
be gathered. We can afford to tell to
our citizenship the truth as to actual
Government needs. They are not fooled
by the phrase maker who assures them
taxation, like candy coated pills. can be
made pleasant. They know that there
are irremovable charges that must be
met but they expect. and have the right
to expect. in the conduct of public affairs
that the standards of frugaiity and COM

Senator Calder Reviews Issue.
In his opening speech Senator Calder
said. among other things
Il speak under some difficulty to-day,
Tor my distinguished colleague. the
senior Senator, has already discussed
important national problems. lie has
had great part In the deliberations OF
the Senate during recent years. As
chairman OF the Committee on Military
Affairs he has had leading place In
the reorganization of the army, standing
steadfast for proper national defence,
but boldly courageous in removing waste
and extravaganza in an effort TO ge.
back to efficient peace conditions. In
his discussion of national problems he
has given Us a wealth of information.
We shall long remember his remarks
on the army and the navy and our inter-
national relations"
The topics he would discuss, the
Senator said, were as dry as dust, those
Of taxation and revenue. OF govern
mental receipts and expenditures, OF the
business side Of government, which, how
ever. as representatives of great
American political party we cannot
ignore" The speaker went on TO tell
what might have been saved to the ma
tion, IL the Wilson Administration had
been prepared for the problems OF peace
when the arnistice was signed. He
said:
.At the end of the war we had COM
pleted only 100000 tons of shipping
Since then we have finished almost
100000 additional tons at cost OF
50 600, 100000, two-thirds of which is
valueless.
IT we had begun TO adjust our rail-
road problem Immediately after the
armistice was signed. we would have
saved nearly billion dollars in railroad
expenditures.
"If we had ceased the building of
naval vessels provided for in the pro-
gramme of 1861. s500.00o.ooo would
not have been spent
'If we had cut down the size of our
army Immediately after November, 1918,
$500. 900 would have been saved
without impairing the national defence
In spite of the legacy left by d Demo-
cratic Congress the Republican Con-

Edits Board Of Estimate Rec
ord When He Sees Boomerang

The session yesterday Of the Board OF
Estimate. sitting az a committee of tho
whole to consider the budget requests
for. next year. was enlivened by Mayor
Hylan's attempt TO inject campaign
tactics and issues. The effort proved
somewhat of q boomerang and caused
the Mayor to correct the official record
OF the proceedings before adjournment
was taken.
At the outset Mayor Hylan, glancing
about the committee room. fixed his
gaze on the seat usually occupied by
Borough President Curran OF Manhat-
tan. his opponent for Mayor. and re-
marked:
Certain members OF this board are
going about the city accusing other
people of being inefficient and incom-
petent. but they do not attend to the
business they were elected to attend
to. and I will make it public every op-
portunity / have"
Borough President Curran is absent
on vacation. but was represented. as
Is customary in the circumstances, by
his Commissioner of Public Works,
Clarence II. Fay. But q fact that
Mayor Hylan apparently overlooked was
that Comptroller Charles l.. Craig was
neither present nor represented by a
deputy comptroller.

While a great hullaballoo has been
raised in many parts of the state about
taxes. the people seem little disposed
to take into consideration the fact
that large part Of the taxes have
been voluntarily voted upon them
selves for the schools. Taxes are
high. but their great inequality makes
for a greater burden than the amount
OF money appropriated. The stat.
bill last year carried
a total of a little more than six mill
lionidoilars for all state purposes.
