The Transit Scandal

Inc 1T0MeT SC400al
In advance Of the publication Of
the report of the new transit COM
mission a few words in retrospect
seem Appropriate.
The record Of the past is one Of
50 bedeviling and postponing inn
proyements that action came under
the pressure Of confusing urgency.
The old busscs were relied on years
too long; 80 were horse cars, so were
cable cars, so was the snorting ele-
vated, with it's streams of burning
cinders.
Definite talk Of subways began in
the early EOS, but it took ten years
to get one. Ten years more were
required to get contracts let for SUBJ
way extensions. Now nearly an
other decade has slipped by. Though
the crisis has been steadily matur-
ing in plain sight, the Hylan admin
istration has shown its normal
incapacity by doing nothing. The
state WAS at last compelled to in
trude, for even the home rule prin-
cip1e, Yeyered as it is, must yield to
grim necessity. The policy of Gov
ernor Miller which many New York
ers do not like would not have been
heard Of had the city administration
half way done its duty.
So the Transit Commission, headed
by Mr.. McAneny. our most compe-
tent traction expert, has been forced
to devote tho first five months to
combing over the Hylan mess. It
finds double, triple and even quad
rupie fares are now collected from
many thousands-that on the SUBJ
ways, instead Of a Hve-cent fare,
there is seven-cent fars--five cents
paid by passengers and the remain
ing two cents met out Of the public
treasury, thereby increasing tho
city's budget $l0,ooo,ooo annually,
1t finds that the elevated is not
paying expenses out Of its revenues
and that unreplaced equipment is
worn out. Finally, it finds that the
systems still operated together are
in imminent danger Of falling apart,
which of course means more 10 and
Is cent fares. Great indeed are the
works Of Hylanism that the Transit
Commission has examined!
What is the way out? How is a
foundation to be laid for extensions
needed to serve an ever expanding
traffic? Now. on an average, 42i
trips year are taken per capita.
What will be conditions when there
are $50 trips and the population, as
will be the case in ten years, is in
creased by 100000? What meas
ures are possible to prevent a fur
ther Identification?
The Hylan administration has no
plan-~-1lot even the semblance or PRE-
tense Of one., It stumbles along in
the shafts of what it apparently re-
CARDS as the inevitable. It may
have the desire to do something. but
it lacks the wit. In it's demagogic
confusion 1t talks as II economic l;.w
can be set aside and q business which
does not pay b kept running,
Not able to set any relief or sign
Of relief from the city administra-
ton, New York turns hopefully to
the McAneny commission. Its chief
saved the situation ten years ago in
spite Of Hearst. Perhaps he car
do it again.

Red Lake Falls Notes

Red Lake Falls, Mimi, Dec. IL
Twenty-four candidates were initiated

of the order. Following the ceremo-
MES of the evening. refreshments We're

former social revolutionist leader and

Karl Radek, Bolshevist leader, stat
ed in a recent article that the strength
of the Soviet army is 100000 men.
The size of the navy, is not known.
Granting that the figures of Radek
and Larin are correct the Bolshevist
government has at least 100000
persons on it's civil and military pay
rolls, or one person out of every ten
in what constitutes Soviet Russia.
In the civil list 100000 persons
are engaged in industries, according
to Larin's statement and 100000 are
in transport service. The employees in
government offices and institutions

employ 400, ZOO.

auctions will be made>fn the depart
ment of education which is headed by
Lunacharsky and has 10000 en-

be discharged. Teachers in the ordi-
nary schools will be unaffected, but
Larin says his commission intends to
lop of all sorts of museums, dramatic
academies, dancing studios and vari-
Gus side institutions which, he de-
clares, are sapping the life from the
educational system and squandering
money which should be devoted to
Strengthening free schools and paying
better salaries to teachers of ordinary
subjects.
BY reducing the number of employ
es on public payrolls, Larin says it
will be the purpose of his commission
to afford more food for the workers
in essential industries which have
starved to support s~uperhuous and
faddish institutions.

BURMA EXPECTS
TO GIVE PRINCE
fine WELCOME
Some Opposition to Visitor
May Be Ex-
pressed.

Rangon, Dec. 18.-The coming visit
of.the Prince of Wales to Burma has
given rise to much speculation as TO
the nature of his reception. Undoubt-
eddy he will receive in Burma all the
ovations usually accorded a travelling
prince.
In Rangoon may be seen many peo-
pie with British flags pinned on their
breasts. God save the king" is a
common expression. The Karens of
Burma are especially loyal to British
rule.
On the other hand, the prince will
meet with a large element-no one
can say just how large-of a~loofness
and silent opposition. In Burma the
national movement is still strong, and
is$continually famed into flame by the
multitude of nationalist journals
which are sold in the streets. Bernard
Houghton, writing in New Burma, ex-
presses what is most likely to be the
attitude assumed by the Burman ma
tionalists toward the visit of the
prince. In part, he w
N one in Burma, any more than
in, India, has any personal animus
against the prince; on this we are all
agreed. Were he only a distinguished
visitor, as for instance M. ~Clemenceau,
there would be no question as to his
welcome. But he is more than that.
He is a definite. integral part of the
British system of government. His
movements, as a prince, r decided
and regulated by the cabinet. In In
dia, he will be the symbol of the Brit
ish government, as a living entity.
""Now the British government has
always stood-and never less than to-
day-for the domination of India and
Burma by Britain. 1t enforces by
armed men it's will upon them in all
big questions of policy and event in
the details of administration.
This assumption of power, Indians
and Burmans resent vehemently. They
claim to manage their own affairs, to
determine their own destiny, to fol-
low their own ideals. Hence a violent
clash of opinion between them and the
British, in fact, to put the matter
plainly, a crisis of the first magnitude.
a"Wha should be the attitude Of
Indians and Brumans? AS free men,
they would gladly have given the
prince a hearty welcome but they can
not greet him, while in bondage,
struggling to be free. They can see in
him the symbol of that power which
binds them and which bars them on
from any real liberty. Their attitude
should then be one of silent and dig
nified protest. They should hold them
selves aloof from the public functions.
But at The. same time they should
make it clear that the PRINCE will re-
ceive a very different welcome from
a self-governing Burma.

Portland Takes
First Step Toward
1925 Worlds Fair

Portland, Ore. Dec. 19.-Portland
has accomplished the first step in
plans for the holding of a worlds fair
here in 1925-endorsement by the
voters of a $4,000, 900 tax levy to he
spread over three years-and atten-
ton is now directed to the second eff
fort in the financing of the project,
of a 100000 tax. which, added to
the amount Portland will raise and
$1,000, 900 to- be obtained by public
subscription, will complete the inanc-
ing.
A statewide election will be neces-
sary to get sanitation for the $3,00O,-
900 tax, and this will not be held
until the primary next May. In the
meantime the state legislature in spc-
cial session will be called upon to
submit this proposal formally to the
people.
Pending the final approval of
financial plans the working out of de-
tails Of the exposition are held in
tentative shape. Committees of rep
resentative citizens Of Portland and
the state, however, have general plans
in view which will be put into execu-
ton as soop as definite decision has
been made by the state to support the
project.
Accepting the exposition as a virtual
certainty, various sections OF Port
land have engaged in a spirited rivalry
for the location Of the fair. A half
dozen or more available sites have
been offered, and the committee in
, charge has issued a QUESTIONABLE in
tended to develop all facts concerning
each proposed location, and careful
consideration will be given each be-
fore a site is selected.
The fair, officially designated as the
| A%1or$;n DooiSo uirhSuouc orG y Er1nr-
trical. exposition, was projected to
celebrate completion Of trans-conti-
mental highways and the centennial of
the invention Of the electro-magnet.
