The Miller Reforms

One of the great merits of the
Miller fiscal reforms is that they
will have continuing effect. The
habit of deliberate extravaganza in
expenditure has been checked. The
simplification Of the machinery of
state government will not only be
translated into an immediate lower
ing of the budget but will open the
way for further consultations and
economies.
The Governor said on Saturday
that budget estimates this year will
probably not exceed $145,0OO, 900.
Last winter they ran up to $201,-
100000 and other state liabilities
carried the total to $4,000, 900.
The Legislature appropriated $685.
100000 at the last session-a re-
duction of about $40, 100000 on the
appropriations for the second year
of Governor Smiths term. This
year another $10,000,o00 saving
will probably be made. "It is easier
to take $20,000,000 out Of s145, ,000,-
000," says the Governor, "than it

Picking ON DR.. Lorenz

Had DR.. Adolf Lorenz, the emf
nent Vicnnese surgeon, come to
America with the avowed intention
of accepting no fees for his opera
tions there would be more ground
for the criticism that private ap-
pointments with him cost dear. If
it is true that 500 is his charge for
an examination his practice is likely
to decrease, since American ortho-
pedic specialists, whose skill DIR.
Lorenz has praised highly, are much
moro modest in their prices. Per-
haps the doctor is thinking in terms
Of kronen and is surprised at his
self-restraint.
But DR.. Lorenz in leaving forlorn
Austria made no secret OF his desire
to hear the jingle of real money.
And he knew where to go, for his
previous visit to the United States
was filled with acclamation and re-
ward. The art of bloodless surgery
on the American pocketbook is not
confined to the Viennese physician.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-05

1t is enc in which European artists
of various callings who have a
livelihood to make are adept. Even
the lecture platform--what gold
mincl
So there seems no special cause
to point the finger of scorn at DR..
Lorenz on the ground that he capi-
talizes his repute. Perhaps the
orthopedists who are picking on him
have done as much. Perhaps not. AS
to his proficiency the layman, Of
course, doesn't know, and doctors
notoriously disagree. For years, at
all events, he has had the name of
being one Of the worlds leading
orthopedic surgeons. If his ethics
are less high than those of his
American colleagues he is not singu-
lar among Europeans who scorn the
almighty dollar and then are hot
OF foot in the effort to capture it,
New-York tribune., 1921-12-05
Limitation of Boxers

Governor Miller indicates he is
satisfied that the boxers Of New
York State are under sufficient
limitation of armament. The Gov
ernor has been besieged by profess
sional promoters yearning to save
the boxing game from mysterious
but undescribed menaces, and one
look at the gate receipts raked in
by Tex Rickard at the Dempsey
Carpenter bout convinces public
spirited promoters that the sport
should be preserved at any cost.
There seems to be no need for
conference to pacify the boxers.
The gentlemen who devised the
London prizering rules barred the
cestus and made of boxing some
thing that would be considered
effeminate by an old Roman gladi-
ator. Then the late Marquis of
Queensberry further disarmed the
practitioners of the manly art by
promulgating the set of rules which
bears his name. The New York
State Boxing Commission has made
the game still more gentle. Ad-
mirers of the school of the late John
L. Sullivan mutter scornfully about
feather pillows.
If further limitation is considered
necessary let it be confined to prize
fight managers and promoters. Let
the typewriters be taken from them
and scrapped and promoters be
barred from conversation for term
of ten years.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-05
Aboard the Peace Ship Again

Not a few have felt sympathy
with Henry Ford's Muscle Shoals
project because of the hope it held
out Of providing cheap fertilizer,
thus enriching our fields, bringing
lower priced food and providing
millions with employment.
But it now develops that no one
of these things is Mr.. Ford's chief
objective. He has discovered that
gold is the cause of wars and would
substitute what he calls units of
power for gold as currency basis.
In an utterance worthy of Mr..
Bryan in his most vocal days he
says that the international bankers
foment war in order to corner gold,
while his money base would be so
broad as not to be subject to con-
troll.
Most interesting this doubtless
would be if it were possible to grasp
the slightest idea of what Mr.. Ford
is talking about. The so-called null
tiple standard idea-that is, a money
base resting OH an average of the
exchange value Of a number of COM
moditics-has theoretical advan-
tages. But units of power-how are
they to be measured? How many
are there to be of thenc Is every
one to have a mint? If it takes an
American with his machine only an
hour to create an article that it
takes a handwriting Chinaman ten
hours to produce, is the American
article to have only ona-tenth of the
exchange power possessed by the
Chinaman's article?
And where does peace come in?
What will prevent angry men pelt-
ing each other with Ford units?
When our ancestors dwelt in trees
they carried on war by using cocoa
nuts as missiles. One pack of wolves
can hostilely meet another though
entirely Indifferent to gold. The Stone
Age, before men knew aught OF
metals, was not peaceful. The origin

was to take $7o,ooo,ooo out of
s20l 100000
1t is much easier to retrench after
the political view Of state expendi-
ture has been abandoned for the
business view. The same thing Is
happening at Washington, where
government expenses are being cut
by the hundreds Of millions. Public
opinion is behind the change that is
being wrought in administrative
methods. 1t is no longer a badge
of honor in legislative circles to
have been the most assiduous and
successful pork hunter.
One result of the Miller reforms
has been the reduction Of the direct
state tax by $12,S02, 900. The Gov
ernor also favors slight decrease
in the state income tax, through an
amendment bringing the exemptions
for dependents into conformity. with
those of the new Federal act. The
exemption for each dependent is
now 5000. Congress has increased
it to $400. The taxpayer is the
real beneficiary Of efficient admin
istration.- Once he gets it at Albany
and Washington he will never con-
sent to a return to political budget
boosting and pork barrelism.

"Usonians" Again
To the Editor of The Tribune.


Sir: The growing importance of this
country's position in world affairs calls
for new stressing of the serious dis
advantage of having no satisfactory
name for ourselves. There are millions
of other Americans" known as such
to the dwellers in Europe and other
continents. Southern dislike and more
or less undignifed associations render
the term yankee" unsuitable, although
used by many Europeans for lack of a.
better.
Former discussions have clouded the
issue by including proposal to change
the name Of the country. This is both
unnecessary and impracticable and
would require rewriting of our Con-
stitution and of all public documents.
AS the United States our land is known
and identified everywhere. What we
do need is an adjective defining the
citizens of the country. Our use Of the
term Dutch" (illogical though the
word may be) to define the people OF
Holland has been attended with no
Inconvenience and has proved the prac-
ticability Of employing an adjective
unrelated to the official name of the
country itself 1t is high time that a
systematic effort be made to secure
the adoption of such an adjective,
which may be understood and used the
wcrld over.

School Wrecking

Comptroller Craig, confronting
the legal necessity of cutting down
the swollen budget so as to reduce
the tax levy to the constitutional
limit, has nothing better to suggest
than a slash of $10,00O,OOO from
school expenditures. Thus early do
the consequences of the recent
municipal election make themselves
felt. The city's school system is to
be further wrecked.
Billions have been added to asess-
ments, thus adding to the rents of
New York. The tax levy has been
raised until it bumps against the con-
stitutional limit. But so great is the
city's extravaganza, so unappeased
is the Hearst -Tammany appetite,
that the city administration pur-
poses to turn more school children
on the streets. 1t won't do.
The lacking $10,000,000 would be
on hand 1t the city ceased paying out
of its general fund interest on sub
way bonds-thus in effect subsidiz-
ing the Interborough and the B. r..
T.-but, of course, this is not pro-
posed. Nor is it proposed to lessen
the number Of chair-warmers or to
trim, contracts
The people of New York simply
will not have it's school system
starved, as Mr.. Craig urges. If the
proposal now nakedly uncovered had
been exhibited before election the re-
suit would have been different. 1t is
too soon for the Hylan administra-
ton to break the most important Of
its pledges-namely, that it would
provide more school accommodation
and service. Next year, perhaps, it
may get away from it's definite COM
nitment, but rot this year.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-05
Unbinding China

The willingness expressed by
France, Great Britain and Japan to
surrender to China their leaseholds,
respectively, of Kwongchauwan,
Weihaiwei and Kiaochau shows how
far the spirit of conciliation has
travelled since the Washington con-
ference opened. If any one had
said on November IL that within
three weeks such joint offer would
be made to China he would have
been laughed at as an optimist run
ming wild. The will to agree, so
powerfully emphasized at the open
ing session by President Harding
and Secretary Hughes, has worked
wonders. The interested powers
have now decided to close their
postoffices in China, to surrender
extraters'torial privileges (under
proper snfeguards), to give China
larger control of her tariff rates
and, finally, to terminate at least
three of the foreign leaseholds Of
most recent date which have been
a thorn in the side of Chinese entity
and sovereignty.
The reason for this rapid progress
is the growing recognition by the
powers concerned that their rela-
tions with one another in the Far
East can be best harmonized by
fastening China's political resusci-
tation. AS Mr.. Koo justly told the
committee, most Of the leases Of the
1898 period and of prior periods
were made on China's part with the
purpose Of maintaining balance
of power among the intruding for
eign nations. When Germany and
Russia dropped out the old balance
of power theory became inapplica-
BILE. France, Great Britain and
Japan can now best adjust their re-
lations to China and to one another
and to the United States by giving
China freer opportunity to
strengthen herself nationally.
The concessions already offered
do not close the case. They point
to other restitutions. AS China be-
comes stronger and more competent
Ia axercise national rnyyer allan ra
strictions on her sovereignty will
become more and more illogical and
irksome. She can free herself by
developing her own latent strength.
And in doing so she will have more
and more the encouragement Of
most, if not all, the great powers.
Japan, also once in leading strings,
Travelled that path. There is no rea-
son why China, if she elects to do
so, cannot also travel it.
