A HALFWAY MEASURE.

TT HE Budget Bin vetoed by President Wilson is
1 before Congress again. The Objectionable
provision making the Comptroller General, or
budget-maker responsible to Congress instead of TO
the President is retained In the present temper of
Congress, the mere fact that President Wilson OBJ
jeced to that feature reason enough for keeping it,
Either the bill goes too far or it does not go far
enough 1t is halfway measure designed to fool
yhe country into the belief that has budget, but
without depriving Congress of the political per-
qGSites of spending. The bUdget-maker must ''be
good" or lose his job.
President Harding advocated governmental econ
Omy in his message to Congress. If he was sincere
he will veto this bill and insist on budget prepared
by an Executive appontee.
If Congress is sincere in wanting budget Officer
responsible not to the Executive but to the LegiSla-
lure, then Congress will go all the way and demand
and enforce responsibility of Cabinet officers to the
bndget-making agent.
If Congress and the President are playing politics
with popular demand for budget they will enact
just suh measure as that now proposed, in which
responsibility will be divided and it viii be possible
to continue passing the buck as at present.

WHAT CAN A DOLLAR DO?
(From the Philadelphia LedgerO


From Chicago comes story, with specific items,
of the way in which the dollar is regainng its lost
purchasing power One does not have to go as far
Chicago to discover such a recuperation. We had
begun to think rather meany OF "the almighty dol
lar" in America but when translate 1t into terms
of the debased currency OF the Old World we dis
what tremendous purchasing power it still has
From time to time widely varying estimates ap-
pear TO the minimum budget for a family of live
persons. 1t is impossible to prepare a schedule that
universally applies, One such programme prepared
by the Labor Bureau for workman's family, arrives
at the of $685. as a minimum. On this scale
rent is about 5000, the husbands clothes $l12
the wifes attire TO S142, light and heat are
less than $50.
But one suspects sometimes that such estmatesS
large small are prepared in the Cabinet, not from
actual contacts The cost OF living is conditioned
upon what is compelled to pay. If there are no
houses to be had in neighborhoOd where one is
Obliged TO live, then ii is of avail to limit
appropriation for rent to 1895 If lingering and ser-
GUS illness invades household the sum of $50 will
not go far to pay the bills for treatment
dollar is merely what dollar will buy where II
is spent. Those OF who can afford TO take our
dollars to the other side OF the will find them
comparatively potent But most of us have TO spend
our motley here where It has not yet regained its
former purchasing power.

GIVE. THEM A YEAR.

A FTER a campaign to clean up TIM movies, in
~ which exposures by The Evening World
played an important part, the Legislature passed a
censorship bill.
Censorship would put heavy burden on the in
61Bry But if Gov. Miller signs the BILL the pro-
ducers and exhibitors will not deserve particle Of
sympathy. Their punishment will not be out of
proportion to their offenSe.
Nevertheless, speaking for the public and not for
Vhe modon-picture industry, The Evening World
homes that Gov Miller will veto the bill. A censor
ship is odios in itself A censorship is usually ad-
ministered with complete lack Of common sense
and Judgment. The expense of the censorship
eventually will be passed on to the public in admS-
Son fees.
There seems reason to believe that the motion
picture industry has learned its lesson and that re-
sponsibe leaders will exert effective pressure to
eliminate Objectionable films. This would be far
better than censorship.
ga year of delay will give the exhibitors time to
dean house and demonstrate that censorship IS
unnecessary. If the movies cannot police themselves
IN that time there will be no good argument against
4 censorship even more drastic than now proposed.
We hope Gov. Miller will take This view and
veto the present bill.

race relationship between whites and blacks.
II took the Williams case to arouse the better
class of Southern whites But if Gov. DorSeys

resultant gain to society

is a courageous public document Gov. Dorsey is A
Southener His recommendations are addressed to
the decent citizenship of the South He is calling
for the reform that counts most-the reform by
voluntary effort and without coercion.
Georga's record of lynching and miStreatment
of negroes is black as sin. As the Georgia Governor
says, God and man justly condemn" Sud condi-
tons.
But if conditions are nemeded from the inside,
by GeerganS, the State will again be able to hold
up its head.
Gov. Dorsey is not asking for an impossible pro-
granme. He does not ask SouthemerS to accept
the negro as a social equal He does ask protection
OF decent, law-abding negroes and the prevention

The woman we are to thank for

Christs most beautiful sermon John,
Chapter W Is nameless to us. A
maine she unquesuOnHDly had, but IL
mas not come down TO US, and we
only know her as the woman OF

On his way from Judea to GalHea
Jesus passed through Samaria and.
being tired and thirsty, sat down by

Of rest.
The woman appearing, Jesus asked
her tor a drunk OF WAGER. Being a
samaritan sac wondered at The re-

Jews had nOuning 10 Ido with eHcf

argument tnus invI.ed by the
woman, Jesus told her that il she
mad known who lie was she would
have asked drink of him, and He
would have given her the water
which would have been to her a we'll

would never have thirsted again.

out into the broad field of theology,

DO IT WITH BUSES.

wv HAT solution can be found for that part of
w the city'S transit problem which relates TO
broken-dOwn surface lines?
How can surface transit be set right and the pub
lie served as it ought to be served with least injury
or injustice to companies involved'
Answer: BY a sweeping substitution of the motor
bus
Not the bus used Hyan-fashon, in competition
with trolley lines.
But BY using the bus Systematically to replace
trolley lines under existing franchises
Suppose, for example, surface car companies now
operating south of 5oth Street in Manhattan were
required to replace their present trolley service with
bus service under corresponding franchise privileges
changed or enlarged to meet public need.
The companies would gain larger and surer
business whid they could carry on with much less
costly equipment
The public would gain in immensely increased
comfort, convenience and safety
The advantages of the bus do not have to be
demonstrated to the people of this city.
The bus has been tried and approved. The time
has arrived when it needs only to be multiplied
and extended.
Six years ago The Evening World began TO urge
upon New York the claims of the bus as a means
of crosstown and-within lmitS-up and down
town surface transportation.
The bus is adaptable. With a minimum OF rou-
bic or cost it can be routed and reroued to meet
transient or permanent need
The bus is flexible. II can move from one current
of traffic to another with an ease and speed that
make it better carrier than the trolley car for city
streets and, in the aggregate of hardly less capacity
The bus is safe 1t takes and discharges its pas
Sengers at the curb Whereas, getting on or off A
trolley car in crowded Manhattan exposes the pas
senger TO the worst perils of midstreet traffic.
A few years ago an engineer interested in transit
problems figured from a comparison of accident
statistics covering period of twelve months in this
city that on Streetcar lines one pedestrian was in
j.Ired for every $4,000 miles operated, as against
one pedestrian hurt for every 10000 miles oper-
ated by motor buses. For the miles operated and
the number of persons carried, he estimated the OPP
Grafton of motor buses to be from four to eight
and onehalf times as safe as the operation of trolley
cars
At seconds notice motor bus can change both
its speed and its direction. trolley car can change
only its speed.
CroSStown surface transportation in Manhattan
and, we, repeat much up and down town surface
transportation as well-can be best supplied by pre-
cSely the kind Of flexible routing, with possibility
of frequent reaiartaton, to which the bus alone
lends itself.
Don't use the bus to ruin the suffering surface
liRe companies.
Make the surface line companies abandon their
troeyS and use the bus for their own salvation.
