No accurate figures have been
given. We take only the conserva-
tive guesses. We thus set net saw
ing of something like 100000 to
SITS 900, 900 a year. That Is three
per cent perhaps of the total yearly
expense Of the United States Govern
ment or a matter Of $3.50 a person
in the United States.
A tidy sum, but in the deluge Of
billions that f1ow into and out OF
Washington. hardly enough to make
or break prices in Wall Street. For
example:
The director OF the budget is try
ing to make savings of tl50. 000, 900

alent in money to the net savings
effected by naval holiday. Yet
II the director of the budget should
announce today that he had turned
the trick and saved the money II il
doubtful IL stock prices would move
a fraction In response. For example
again:
There are still about 100000
more Government employees than
before the war. Suppose 100000 Of
these superfluous officials should be
dismissed tomorrow. The saving to
the Government would be about
$500 900 900 q year, or at the rate OF
81, 200, 000. 900 In ten years IL a job
holding holiday should be declared.
That, from q taxpayers point Of
view, would mean more than any
naval holiday that is in any way
likely to come to pass. Yet would
~ -
housecleaning affect security prices?
We doubt that there would be even
q culver in Wall or La Sale Street.
.Ihe utmost money benefit of q
naval holiday would be less than
half Of what would come to us II

seems to be good reason why

As for the far-reaching purposes
of the diplomatists in Washington
the part that this country may be
persuaded to take in the European
turmoil, the role that is being urged
upon 1t in Asiatic affairs. the under
standings and agreements that grad
ually are being presented to the
United States for consideration and
approval-all these are issues that
concern the most distant future.

the whole welfS'e and safety Of the
United States they still do not seem
likely at the worst to imperil the
country and it's prosperity for a year,
two years, or even perhaps five years
to come.
They belong in range Of policy
that cannot be discussed here.
The question in hand is whether
a ter-year naval holidt~ would be a
big market factor. And the answer
seems to be that II would not be any
noteworthy factor, and probably no
factor at all.

CRAIG JOINS HYLAN
ON TRACTION PLANS
Both Oppose Miller's Solution
at Meeting Of City's Dem
Ocratic Legislators.
COMPTROLLER HAS BILL
Would Rip the Rails Out of
Observation-Disclosures Oper-
alton to Be Provided.

Comptroller Charles L. Craig crystal
lized his opposition TO Gov Miller's
transit solution plan into action yester-
day by preparing TO have introduced in
the Legislature counter measures placing
the city in position to take over the rapid
transit facilities and operate them. He
announced his proposal at a meeting OF
the city's Democratic members OF the
Legislature and Aldermen in the Alder
manic chamber and requested Senator
James J. Walker. Democratic leader in
the Senate, who presided, to introduce
the bills. The Comptroller is drafting
a communication to Gov. Miller in which
he will critioise the Governors proposed
action and will outline his own plan.
A speech which Mayor Hylan read at
the meeting revealed that he and the
Comptroller. though still at losgerheads
on many subjects, are agreed on numer-
Gus points regarding transit. They agree
that the Governors statement that the
city should have a voice with the state
commission does not ameliorate their an
tagonism to his plan; that no oppor-
tunty should be given to the subwyas
TO get a higher fare now that north and
south surface lines in Manhattan. being
paralleled by rapid transit express and
local lines, are obsolete and should be
torn from the streets that upstate
legislators are neither sufficiently In
formed nor possessed OF the right to die
tate the transit policy of New York city,
and that If the transit companies cannot
operate the subways in accordance with
their contracts they should turn them
back to the city.
Regarding ms proposed transit bill
Mr.. Craig said:
"It authorizes the termination or al
private operation of traction lines with
in the city of New York. Such a bill
would permit the termination of existing
contracts SO far as they regard the sub
ways and may make provision for the
payment TO any security holder OF apy
moneys of theirs that have gone into the
properties and in which the city has re-
ceived benefits.
80 far as the surface lines are con-
cerned. and particularly those holding
perpetual franchises under Legislative
grants, the city should have the right TO
terminate their operation because they
are obsolete, such as the Broadway sur
face line of Manhattan. being paralleled
by subway local and express service.
The city should be empowered to compel
the removal of their tracks from the
streets. The obstruction in traffic caused
by the lines now operating under the
receivership of Job L. Hedges costs the
city annually untold millions in tracking
charges, in the movement OF vehicular
traffic conveying food. merchandise and
other necessary commodities, the cost OF
which is greatly increased by the OBJ
struction of Receiver Hedges's cars to
their transportation"
Mayor Hylan reiterated his protests
against Gov. Miller's so-called invasion
of home rule. He said tho city owned
subways are paying like u gold. mine"
