New-York tribune., 1921-04-15

The meaning Of the amendments
which at Governor Miller's request
are to be attached to the traction act
is SO plain that there is no excuse for
misunderstanding.
The amendments do not guarantee
a five-cent fare. What they do is to
guarantee, should there be an in
crease Of fare, that the financial ben
eft thereof shall accrue to the city.
The ouners of traction securities uro
ito get no more than they noaU get.
Such is the automatic consequence
Of the provision that the valuation
on which the companies are to get
return,is to bring no greater return
than would come to them through
their present franchises and con-
tracts.
AS conditions now are with respect
to the Interborough subway, the five
cent fare about suffices to pay oper-
ating expenses and interest OH the
company's bonds. The interest on
the money the city borrowed for con-
struction is paid out of taxes. Should
there be six-cent fare the extra
cent would lift the city's taxation
burden and tend to bring down rents.
The traction service-as it should
would carry itself, something it now
does not do, with public funds spent
to meet the principal deficit.

mortgage money to the man Of small
or moderate means who would
finance the building Of his own home.
Senator Lowman, Of Elmira, is
sponsor for bill designed to in
crease investments in these associa-
tions by providing that annual in
come derived by member shall be
exempt from the state income tax to
the extent of $500. This measure Of
encouragement to thrift might be
justified at any time, but is particu-
larly needed at this time as means
of increasing the funds intended for
the promotion Of home owning and
new dwelling house construction. If
it results, as it is designed to do, in
increasing the membership Of these
mutual savings associations, it's ten
dency will be, by the creation of new
taxable values and new mortgage
recording taxes, to increase consid-
erably rather than reduce the states
revenues.
The Lowman bill should be re-
ported out Of committee. in order that
it may be considered by the Leg
islature before adjournment to-
morrow.

Livingston's s Luck

The old Jake Livingston home
stead, otherwise known as the head
quarters Of the 22d A. D. Repub-
lican Club, in Brooklyn, went up in
smoke yesterday. It was not so
completely exterminnted as was the
Livingston effort to prevent an in
vestigation of the city government
But it will not be Of much use as a
headquarters for long, long time.
What caused this wreck Of an old
political landmark?-the headquar-
ters, we mean. Spontaneous combus-
tion, says one report. A cigarette
butt, says another. However it was,
last week Leader Jake was happy
and peaceful. This week he is cast
out and scorned by most of his own
legislators. What did it? Self
starting ignition? All too probably.
If savages can start a fire by rub
bing sticks together, surely the fric-
ton of the thoughts Of Mr.. Living
ston might start blaze.
1t might seem to the casual OBJ
server that nothing could be better
than the accident which has come to
Mr.. Livingston. When a Republi-
can leader stands shoulder to shoul-
der with Tammany Hall it is surely
not altogether bad luck to have his
records burned,

More Money for Housing

The Albany lawmakers, on the
eve Of adjournment, seem to have
failed, as the record now stands. in
dealing with the housing shortage.
Amended rent laws have proved
but drop in the bucket Of ameliora-
ton. The legislation Of last year
which offered the encouragement of
taxation exemption for a limited pe-
riod to the promoters Of new build
ing construction in this city has
been in effect long enough to demon
strate its practical efficiency as an
emergency measure. Under it's
stimulus more and more houses are
going up. Nevertheless, there is
definite evidence that the abnormal
pressure upon existing housing IA
cilities would be relieved to a much
greater extent if adequate capital
were available on terms that could
be accepted by the small home
seeker.
The practical deduction from the
facts in view seems to be that some
means must be devised. for increas-
ing the money-lending resources of
the cooperative savings and loan as
sociations of the state, for these in
stitutions are the chief lenders Of

New-York tribune., 1921-04-15

This is the last day for payment
of state income taxes. Yet the Comp
troller's department has failed to
clear up confusion in it's instruc-
tions to taxpayers to which atten-
ton was called several weeks ago by
no less an authority than the United
States Supreme Court.
The court held that profits from
the sale of securities or real prop
erty are income and may be taxed.
But it also said that income thus
taxed must be actual income, meas
ured by the difference between pur-
chase price and selling price. The
Internal Revenue Bureau had de-
parted from this sound principle by
using for taxation purposes the diff
ference between the selling price and
the market or quotation price on
March 1, 1918, for any property pur-
chased before that date. Our state
income tax administration made a
still more radical ruling. Since our
law is of recent origin, it held that
in calculating profit or loss on sales
the market price on January /, 1919,
should be substituted for the actual
purchase price if the purchase was
made in any year before 1919. In
the case Of many classes of securi-
ties this readjustment Of the pur-
chase price caused a wide derange-
ment Of values.
Senator Davenport introduced a.
bill to conform the states practice to
the Supreme Courts decision. But
il wasn't acted on in time to affect
this years payments. On large
number of returns, therefore, the
state will collect either too much tax
or too little tax. And if rebates are
allowed, thousands of income tax ac-
counts will have to be laboriously
adjusted.
The income tax is vexatious to the
payer because OF It's many pitfalls
and complications. Good admin
istration requires that the process
Of making returns be simplified and
that state computation methods be
harmonized as far as possible with
Federal methods, since the Federal
return must be filed first. Taxpay-
crs are human enough to appreciate
friendly cooperation on the part of
collecting agencies. Delay at Albany
in repairing blunder fully exposed
to public view has been disappoint-
ing. Bureaucracy is traditionally
stiff-necked. Here was an occasion.

Hush Week

BY proclamation duly issued BY
Mayor Hylan the seven days, be.
ginning on April 18 are set apart as
"hush week." The public is officially
exhorted to refrain from unneces-
sary noise. The honks of the horn
the strident voices Of the harbor
the roaring rattles of the elevated
and the chatter of ironed hoofs are
told to sink to pianissimo.
Not only this, but even more in
teresting, as the committee in charge
announces, there is another injunc-
tion. 1t is to "hush the increasing
unwarranted criticism of the nation,
state and city" So it is actually
written down.
His Honor does not like criticism.
His soul abhors it. 1t is true he
reached Office by circulating SLAM
ders Of the Mitchell administration.
1t is also true that he has been bottle
holder and towel wiclder to Hearst
as that gentleman has shrieked his
abuse. Nevertheless, the Mayor is
doubtless sincere in his present aver
sion to faultfinding. He has not
liked it since the Lockwood COM
nlittee met--has especially not liked
it since the passage of the resolu-
ton ordering an investigation Of his
administration.
So "Hush!" proclaims the Mayor.
New-York tribune., 1921-04-15
France and the Harding Program

Comments in the Paris press show
that the French realize the friendly
implications of President Harding's
peace policy. Naturally they are
pleased that the long Wilson dead
lock is broken. The last Admin
istration's gifts to France were of
the Grecian variety. Mr.. Wilson
pressed on Clemenceau the League
of Nations covenant, which the lat
ter valued but slightly. French
statesmen could see little utility in
the league as an instrument to pre-
serve peace unless it authorized the
creation of an international military
staff, empowered to employ definite
quotas of troops to enforce the
leagues decisions. The lack of a
military organization Of this sort
made intervention on the leagues
part to save Poland from the Rus
sian invasion or to get Zellgouski
out Of Wilma an empty gesture.
Mr.. Wilson gave France the draft
OF an insurance treaty, to be ratified
by Great Britain and the United
States, guaranteeing her against
German aggression. This also
proved an unliquidatable asset. And
when the French began to bestir
themselves to make the eastern
frontier secure through their own
efforts the President crustily init
mated that France had reambraced
imperialism" and "militarism."
Mr.. Harding offers France some
thing less nebulous and more work.
able. He wants to secure for all
the Allies the reparations and ter
ritorial cessions which Germany
promised at Versailles. The sub
staptive parts of the treaty must be
preserved, in his view, while the
superfuous League of Nations and
insurance treaty superstructure are

Japan Develops Air Forces
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is of course we'll known that
England, France and Germany are ex-
ertng themselves to the utmost to de
velop and perfect air navigation as
a commercial enterprise in order that
it may be utilized as a part of their
war machinery in an emergency. Great
progress has resulted. Thousands OF
passengers and tons of merchandise
are now being carried across the Eng.
lish Channel in airplanes.
And it now appears that Japan has
entered the race for conquest Of the
air. The following excerpts from an
article in The Aeroplane, London
journal, give information Of Japanese
activities in this matter:
"It is commonly known that Japan
has for many years been building up
n navy and an army which have already
placed her among the foremost Of the
worlds fighting powers. Japan is not
troubled by any nonsense about max
ing the world safe for democracy. Still
less has the Japanese government
troubled itself, as ours has done, about
making the world safe for hypocrisy
In the most open and aboveboard fash
ion Japan has adopted the doctrine of
armed force as the nations best safe
guard. For this one has the greatest
admiration and respect.
$50 far back as March, 1920, 1t was
reported that the Japanese military
mission in Europe had bought 800
airplanes, chiefly Spads and Farmans,
in France. Presumably these were
bought from the French Disposals
Board, as there has been no news of
the Spad or Farman factories being
active on Japanese orders.
New-York tribune., 1921-04-15

"Much about the same time General
Nagaoka, the chief Of the mission
said: The next war will be an air
war, and the nation with the best air
service will dominate its rivals both
on land and sea- And subsequent
events show that Japan is acting up to
this obvious doctrine, which seems tc
be SO strangely ignored by our poll
ticians.
$50 far as one can discover. no air.
craft have been bought in England fo1
the Japanese army, though a large
number-as orders go in these days
have been bought here by the Japanese
navy, and it is said that negotiations
are afoot for many more. Also, it is
understood that French pilots and
mechanics have been engaged as in
structors for the japanese army. And
1t Is known that an official mission ws.l
to have Been sent by the Coastal Aera,
R. A. F., to the Japanese navy. but that
this mission was cancelled at the last
moment, it is said as the result of
representations made by the United
States.
"One is filed with admiration for
Japan's energy and enterprise and
self-confdence. It would be all the
better for. this country II our political
people had as much"
Whether there be danger Of war or
not, it is manifestly imperative that
the United States shall speedily de-
velop air forces for mercantile pur-
poses as we'll as for the army and
navy. Invasion of the United States
from overseas will be quite impossible
if we provide ourselves with SUBJ
marines and air forces. AVIATION.
