Highway Repairs.

Since 1917 the cost OF road making
material has increased in some in
stances as much as 100 per cent,
delaying repairs on many New York
highways until there is danger Of a
serious breakdown on some of the
important arteries of traffic.
Roads should be repaired when
the first sign of disintegration ap-
pears Under proper systems Of high
way maintenance material for re-
pairs Is stored by the roadside. There
Is man continuously patrolling with
horse and cart. There are no finer
highways anywhere than those which
are kept up in this manner. Such a
plan promotes rivalry between the
highway workers; the result is that
pride in achievement which the good
workman naturally feels In the per-
Torrance Of his duty.
Some OF those who ride In comfort
in their motor cars over the best OF
our roads have no conception Of the
cost Of road building and mainte-
nance. According to figures furnished
by the chief of the Bureau of Public
Roads, Department Of Agricult.S :,
gravel roads which formerly cost
S4,535 mile cannot be constructed
to-day for less than $3.50. Con-
crete roads have Increased in cost
from S21 ,165 to $4,000 mile. Brick
roads, which have many advocates,
have risen from $4,000 to $4,000
a mile.
1t Is not to be wondered at that
the various States, confronted with
such great Increases, should hesitate
before beginning road improvements
or construction already approved un-
til they can formulate some plan
of getting more revenue from those
who use the thoroughfares.
But road repair Is the most profita-
BILE investment q town or State can
make. Done promptly and well, the
mending saves the surface, and by
saving the surface the whole road
structure, In many cases. can be
preserved.

More Homes Are Needed.
Effect of tie Court OF Appeals De
cision Oh the Building Outlook.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD The rent
laws have been upheld. For another
twenty months property owners do not
have the use Of their property. They
cannot manage II as they see III, and yet
the Court of appeals assures them that
they are not being deprived or their
property without due process OF law.
The only logical way TO solve the hous-
ing situation Is TO increase the number
OF apartments. This can be done cnly
by new building. New building viii not
take place in the face of adverse rent
laws.
The way tho supply Of any commodity
is increased is by making the supply
Ing OF that commodity so attractive
a proposition that men will rush to the
business. The supply then rises and
forces prices down. Housing must go
through a period of unrestricted prices
to make the supplying OF apartments an
attractive business proposition. The
rent laws only postpone this period. 1t
must come before housing viii be
normal. W. b. RosBoRouGH.

No Haven for Karolyi.

For a man OF nm illustrious Hun
garian name and one who figured
conspicuously in central European
politics during and after the world
war CoUNT MICHAEL. KARoLYI is in
peculiarly embarrassing position.
After the collapse OF the III starred
Hungarian republic Of which KARoLYI
was President and the barring OF his
part In the murder Of his political
adversary, Count TIszA, little was
heard of him until he appeared some
time ago In Italy. His destination,
1t was reported, was the United
States. Information from Rome is
that not only the American Consul
but every other foreign Consul there
refused to wise his passport. The
Isalian authorities would rot permit
him to remain In Italy. and since he
must be got rid Of somehow" they
Professionally dropped him and his
party at Jarvis, over the Carinthian
border.
KAnoLYr will be well remembered
in this country by his visit enrly
IN 1914 in the interest OF 4 free and
Independent Hungary. His propa-
ganda here was cut short by the break
ing out of the war. After his return
home he became an advocate Of a
separate pence for Hungary, and,
failing In this, he demanded the with
drawal of both Hungary and Austria
from the war. II was asserted at the
time that he really expressed the
desire OF the Austrian Emperor for
peace. The republic Of which he was
the head fell after z short md stormy
existence because the Entente Pow
ers, doubling that Il was i representa-
live Hungarian Government, refused
to recognize t. KARoLYf was several
times afterward charged with Boil
shevist tendencies and with being in
nm alliance with LrEfvE and TRoTzKY,
but he always vigorously denied the
charge.

Performances Of the Complete Opera

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: ] think
that F. J. Jenner. who writes he has
attended operatic performances in Lon
don and New York since 1875 but has
never heard the last act Of THE Hugue-

tunities. at least IN the former city. II

which the first performance terminated
only THE NEW York HERALD and one
or two other papers were able TO record
the occurrence.

be heard at the Paris Grand Opera. fol-
lows the great duet for Valentine and
Raorsl, and shows the historic st. Bar

OF the lovers amid scenes Of slaughter
and their death BY order Of the Count

To End Notorious Monopoly.

on Tuesday before the Senate Com
mittee on judiciary on a proposed
amendment to the State antitrust
law designed to end II fragrant abuse
resulting from n combination In viola
ton Of the spirit Of all anti-monopoly
enactments which does not now fall
within the inhibltions OF the statute
The amendment should be written
into the statute In the interest Of
the public.
This abuse is openly practised by
the photo engravers' union. This as
soclaton has enforced upon tire eiu-
ployers IN their trade form Of con-
tract under which the prices at which
their products are sold are fixed not
by competition but by edict OF the
union. 10 employer who violates the
sales price schedule arranged by the
union can hire union men customers
OF the photo engravers are at the
mercy Of the union the public gen.
orally Is thus made the victim of the
union.
This situation ls rendered possible

trust law IS based on the assumption
that 4 monopoly deserving confemnn-

Rail Wage Readjustnents.

The railroad situation doesn't need
any investigation by Congress COM
mittee to discover what is the matter
with the carriers net earning power.
The explanation is as simple as b G,
and anybody of common sense can
make 1t as clear as sunshine to Con-
gress in couple Of dozen words. The
trouble is:
l. Virtually all the receipts OF the
roads are now swallowed up by their
enormously increased operating ex-
penses.
2. The great bulk Of the operating
expenses is wages.
3. The roads have not yet been able
to readjust expenditures as traffic has
fallen because the abnormal war basis
wage scales are still kept tied up in
double bowknots by the United States
Railroad Labor Board.
4. When the railroads are enabled
to get down to peace basis, the same
as all other industry. there will be
something left over, after paying oper-
ating expenses, to meet the interest
on debts. maintain the property ade-
quately, provide for improvements,
extensions and betterments and yield
return on the invested capital.
The chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission says that out
OF every dollar now taken in by the
railroads as whole 80 cents goes
into operating expenses, with only 10
cents left over to do all the rest. For
the roads to take care Of their credit,
keep up the properties and provide
for future service requirements OF the
growing country at least 40 per cent.
Of the receipts ought to remain after
operating expenses are paid and 10
to 20 per cent. after interest on debts,
taxes and other fixed charges are
met. But now there is practically
nothing left.
That Is all there Is to the present
railroad situation when traffic is fall
ing and falling but the wage scales
which account for the major part Of
the operating expenses are nailed, so
to speak, to the masthead.
SAMUEL GoMpERs is fair enough In
his statement at Harvard University
that in these pendulum swings of
necessary reimbursement 1t bodies no
good to drive the bargain with labor
too hard. Nobody could more heartily
agree with him than THE New YORK
HERALD az to that proposition. But
the fault with GoMPERs Is that when
he knows the economic pendulum has
swung, and swung far, toward imper-
atiyely required readjustment he does
not help, he hinders. Thus, delaying
the return TO productive activity, he
puts his own men out Of work.
AS for the railway brotherhood
chiefs who declare that they will fight
every proposed wage reduction tooth
and nail, they simply propose that
their organizations, the railroads and
the whole country shall be wrecked
before they will lift finger to help
save the day. But Of course, whether
they help or don't help, the readjust-
ment must come. The war was over
two and third years ago ana the
country is going to get on a peace
basis, whatever economic obstruction

they do or don't do
