Platform: Says Commou People Will Rise
One Man TO Elect Him

Abraham Michon, candidate for
Mayor of New York on the Back

Liberal Socialist and uses a heart and
chaplet campaign emblem. in announc-
ing his platform yesterday, offered as
its principal plank general mora

every family in the city rent free pos
session for ten years of whatever
premises it happens to be occupying.
If that doesn't beat Tammany, moth
ing will" he says.
What the voter wants, Michon in
sists, is something definite and tangible
in the way of a platform -sonething
that will appeal directly to the rent
gouged unfortunate and victim of
profiteers who does the voting. So
under the head of Temporary Meas
ures for Immediate Relief tn Michon
platform sets forth these propositions:
First-Seizure by the government of
the entire food reserve and a guaranty
of three meals day to all who are

opinion Of those who enjoy the con-
hdence of the leaders.
Neither side is evincing ANNOYANCE
at the delay. and in fact it is the feel
ing in Dublin that events have taken
normal course and there is not the
slightest reason for pessimism.
The Roman Catholic bishops. are en-
erting much pressure and even many
OF the young clergy who played an ex-
ceedingly active part in the Sim Fein
movement desire peace, and they re-
gard the situation as still negotiable.
There is tendency in some quar-
tiers to criticize the Intervention of
General Jan C. SHUTS, Premier of
South Africa, particularly his advice to
De Valera ITO leave Ulster alone
which The Sunday Observer declares
"stiffened Ulster on the one side and
repealed Sim Fem on the other'
The Interpretation of J. L. Garvin,
editor of The Observer, is not sup
ported, however, by others equally ia
miliar with the Irish situation and the
Irish temperament, but there is no
doubt that Ulster now is in bitter,
stubborn mood
There always has been possibility
OF dramatic move being made in Ire
land, and one is not unlikely this
week. That Premier Lloyd George
will order campaign of military ter
rorism, should the Dal's reply be un-
satisfactory, is not the opinion of
those who appreciate his ability as a
mediator.

LaCuardiaP Proposes
Program for Unity
Among Republicans
Willing to Join Forces to
Beat Tammany if Pledge
to Restore Primary and
for Scent Fare Is Made

President La Guarda of the Board
, of Aldermen, candidate in the Repub.
lican primaries for the nomination for
Mayor, yesterday in an address "a
voters, said that all true Republicans
will agree that the city government
and competent administration put in
its place.
Relief, reform, better living cond
tions, reduced taxes, have remained un-
fulfilled promises in party platforms
so often that the voting public natu-
rally has become suspicious" he saws,
Thereupon he offers to Republicans ar
opportunity to join forces and all unite
in the fight to redeem New York both
from Tammany NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
upstate usurpation. Then Mr.. La
Guardia lays down the following con-
ditions, and says they will "do away
with all justification for primary
contest:
l. A pledge to the people of this city
that the primary system will be re- e.
stored. This pledge to be in the form
of public statement signed by the
Governor and the president pro TEN
of the Senate, that the repeal of the
primary law enacted last year will be
rescinded and the full, complete pri-
mary restored to the people of this
state. Candidates for Assembly to be
so pledged.
2. A binding stipulation signed by
the members of the Transit Commits
sion to the Board of Estimate and Ap-
portionment that it will not consent
to an increase Of fare; that existing
contracts for the operation of rapid
transit service on city-owned subways
will not be revised, modified or
changed without first obtaining the
consent of the duly elected RESPONSE
BILE officials of the City of New York.
8. A guaranty to the City of New
York that the control of the city water
supply shall not be taken away and
placed under the jurisdiction and con-
troll f the upstate politically appointed
Public Service Commission or any
other state department, as was at
tempted during the last Legislature.
a. signed declaration from the
Governor that he will veto all local
bills affecting only New York City
when such bills are not submitted for
local approval as required by law.
These assurances. in the Judgment
of Mr.. La Guardia, will unite the Re-
PUBLICAN party and insure a sweeping
victory. Closing his statement, the
Major says:
"Give the people of this city these
guarantees in the form of solemn and
sacred pledges and I shall consider
my duty completed, otherwise shall
tight for these principles to the bitter
end"

the present Comptroller and three for
mer comptrollers seem to insist that
the limitation is fixed by the current
assessment, which, in the present case
was boosted s1,000,0OO by the assessors
and not by the last or former assess
ment for state or county taxes.
Grave issues depend upon the OBJ
servance of constitutional require
ments in the levy of taxes and in the
administration of the finances of the
city by its sworn officers. 1t is of
vital significance that the Court Of
Appeals decision was available when
the levy was made. 1t is of serious
import that no opinion on the subject
was requested of the Corporation Coun.
sci by the Mayor or the Comptroller
Even after the matter had beer
called to their attention by the com.
mittee no such step was taken"

Diary, based neither on the will Of the
people nor on any other valid ground,
historical, geographical or economical"
- Godfrey ODonoghue, only son of
Godfrey O'Donoghue of the Glens who
has arrived at Athlone on his discharge
from the Dublin Fusileers in India, is
quoted by interviewers at AtMone as
declaring that last May he, with Pri
Yates Fitzpatrick, Murray and Kirwan,
sent letter to the newspapers pedg-
ing their sympathy with their brothe +
lrishmen at home fighting for freedom,
and that the following day all four of
them were arrested and court mar
tailed. The charge made was that of
spreading sedition, and on July %
ODonoghue, Murray and Kirwan were
informed that their services with the
army were no longer required, O'Don-
cghue says. Fitzpatrick, he presumed,
was held for sentence.
ODonoghuc served in the war as a
lieutenant in the Connaught Rangers.
He was freed by rehabilitation, but re-
enlisted, this time in the Fusileers.

tax limit, provided that limit were
fixed by the amount Of the assessment
Of the year prior. There, as here, the
assessments for the current year
would have given additional taxing
power. In Buffalo this increase was
sufficient to have given the Board OF
Education all it asked.
"Tne Board of Education brought
mandamus proceedings to compel the
City Council to insert the amount OF
the increase in the budget or issue GER
tiAcaues of Indebtedness. Both par
ties were represented by able counsel
and both parties agreed that the linn
itaton of the tax was to be measured
by per cent Of the last assessment
and not of the current assessment,
which was before the city authorize S
and on which the current tax was to be
levied
1.-THE practice, therefore, of the Sec
ond city Of the state is the exact re-
verse of the stand now taken by the
city officials here. The Court of APP
peals accepted the limitation as applied
in Buffalo and stated that it is the
correct limitation.
There is but one inference to be
drawn. The rule adopted in New York
is wrong and the tax levy of 1921 I'M
constitutional. The city has exceeded
its tax limit by some twenty millions
and the committee must so report.
"The great practical Importance of
the situation is that the city is con-
fronted by necessity for economy in
it's future expenditures which its off,
Gals seem unwilling to adopt or en-
force. The constitution is established
by the will of all the people and it's
mandate must be obeyed
ut is the business Of the committee
to ascertain what the constitutional
limitations are, rather than to enter
into any controversy as to whether or
not they have been followed Although
this question has never been raised
before in the present century, and
never could be raised, because the tax
as levied in New York City never ex-
ceeded the 2 per cent limit as fixed
by the assessment of the prior year,

LONDON, Aug. 81 (By The Associ-
ated Press London newspapers, in
summing Mp the Irish situation, this
morning devoted themselves to peace
or war editorials. The Daily Express
used Lincolns phrase eve will not
break up the Union, and you shall not"
as representing the position of the
British government.
"If the negotiations break down."
declared The London Times, "the only
practical alternatives are that we
either impose upon Ireland what we
think is a just settlement, or let
southern Ireland go her way as an in
dependent republic. The first would be
two years of agony to Ireland; the
second would be treason-folly to
Eng.and-and it is absolutely unthink-
able as long as this nation remains p
nation at all
ut is either negotiation for settle
ment by consent on the present basis.
or it is war We never thought such
dire alternatives would return, but they
are here. Heaven forbid that we
should rattle the saber. but Heaven
forbid, too that we should ask consent
to throw the crown and scepter into
the dust.
New Terrorism Deprecated
"A miracle of WISDOM" said The OBJ
server, us needed to save the situation,
but at the worst Great Britain should
not resort to mere military terrorism
and should adopt a policy of cvacua-
ton rather than occupation. To at
tempt to reach a settlement by pour
ing in troops and tanks would be crude,
blind and fatal. 1t would fail for the
reason that the Irish extremists live
on excitement and battle. They perish
in Lullness. Our advice would be to
leave the interior of southern Ireland
to stew in it's own juice after loyalists
there had withdrawn upon terms Of
fullest compensation. We should keep
firm grip on few essential strategic
points along the coast and the River
Shannon, and then withdraw the roll
ing stock of the railways. Ulster would
know how to hold it's own frontier.
eve hope and pray that Prime Min
ister Lloyd George and Austen Cham
berlain will stake their political fu-
lures absolutely on their insistcncc
that the evacuation of the interior Of
southern Ireland must bo the more
bloodless and the more formidable pol
icy for Great Britain to adopt in the
case of neccssity"

MUCH STREET
WORK IN FORDS
Claim Made That $1,000 to
be Given Each Ward Win
Not be Enough.

FORDS, Jan. 31-The new plan
of the township committee to award
each ward an initial appropriation
of $4,000 VIII make il appear as
though this section needs more
funds than the other wards. This
fact is due TO the improvements
being made to the streets in this
place. which will require additional
money to grade and perhaps pave
these streets.
1t is estimated that about $4,000
to $4,000 will be needed TO put
the streets in this section in condi-
ton in the spring. As four roads
have had sewer lines installed, il
will be necessary TO do extra work
on them in order TO ill in the sun
ken trenches, regrade the roadway
and establish sidewalk marks.
This extra expense will bring the
second ward. including Fords. up to
a larger total than the rest and
Hopelawn. which is in the second
ward also. is having many roads
repaired with ashes TO make some
of the streets in that place passable
as they could not be used before on
account of the thick mud and ruts.
These Improvements will add to
the amount assigned to each ward,
but when the roads in this place
are finished and put in condition it
will only take a small amount TO
keep them in repair. At the pres
ent time this section is being great
ly improved and the value of prop
erty is being increased by these i'm
provements There is $4,000 ap-
propriated in the budget for the
use on repairing roads in the town
ship and it is estimated that the
second ward will require about for
" per cent. Of this amount TO re-
pair roads.
