The HyIan Hoax

Three months ago the Transit
Commission submitted a workable
ana adequate plan for unifying and
extending the subway system at a
total cost of s218,000, 900. That
plan, which was drawn up by COM
petent engineers, is now being put
INTO effect. When it is completed
the present intolerable traction
'angie, which is due largely to the
utter lack of understanding of the
problem by the city administration
will be at an end.
As an alternative Mayor Hylan
submits an alleged traction plan
that he estimates will cost s6oo.-
100000. But this stupendous cost
with no inkling of where the money
IS TO come from, is not the onlv
thing that strikes the eye. Moth
ing at all is to be done for three
years, for the heart of the project
Is that the existing lines shall be
acquired by the city under it's right
o. recapture, which does not come
INTO existence until 1925.
Another thing is that there shall
pc public operation. This, of course.
means it would be necessary to kiss
the iive-cent fare goodhy. It is with
alfhcuity the subway companies now
meet operating expenses. With a
generous Tammany management the
cost per passenger may be expected
@ be seven or eightscents, and this
with nothing set aside for interest
on the s6oo,ooo,oO0 investment
The fact that the plan is submit
ted at all Is obviously due to de-

a conference committee il trying
to reconcile differences between the
House and the Senate, exemplified in
2,d36 Senate amendments to the
Fordney tariff till. These amend
rnents revolutionize the House meas
ure. Two Of them, in particular,
alter the whole scheme OF protection
run wild which Mr.. Fordney had in
view.
The Houses American valuation
plan-the yardstiek of all its rates
has been rejected by the Senate. and
the old foreign valuation plan has
been substituted. Two theories of
tariff structure are here in conflict.
The Senate, moreover, has put into
the bill provisions for the alteration
of rates through Presidential proc
lamation. This is striking innova-
ton in tariff policy, The House
leaders are very distrustful of it.
How can these radically different
bills be welded into single har-
monious measure in the short period
left for this session? Conference
committees have been deadlocked for
weeks over bills in which the differ
ences between the two branches were
over relatively negligible details.
Now thousands of details are to be
adjusted, and two-clashes in funda-
mentals are to be overcome by per-
suasion.
Why net take the time really
needed to revise the Fordney and
McCumber revisions? What the
country needs is tariff bill based
on certainty, not conjecture. 1t
would gladly wait for such bill.
No public interest will be served by
rushing through compromise be-
tween two monstrosities before the
curtain is rung down on this session.

sort Of clearing house for ideas,
plans and suggestions, and when II
reports upon conditions or construc-
tive recommendations IT will speak
with greater authority than one Of
the special groups interested IN
pleading it's own particular cause.
There has long been need for
such aa organization. Excellent as
has been the work Of individual re-
lief units, there has been no chan
mol so far for the active expression
Of public sentiment. Many people
have felt with SADNESS that the war
sufferers have been neglected and

they have wondered in what manner
their own small efforts could help
the veterans cause,
The Citizens Committee has an
opportunity for great service. There
is at the present moment work that
1t can do in investigating condi-
tions in some of the hospitals and
in making public its recommended
tions. The provisions for the mental
patients and those suffering from
tuberculosis in particular have been
notoriously inadequate, and the eff
forts of such organizations as the
Legion to force prompt Improvement
by the Washington authorities have
met with constant delays.
BY having its subcommittee
study these conditions and by MAX
ing public their findings and rec
concentrations the Citizens Com
mittee can do much to enlist public
opinion in behalf of the disabled
men.

The Difficult Auerage By A1s1s De 1sss

In sports or stock quotations or hu-
man nature the average represents the
level line between the heights and
depths, the middle course between ex-
tremes. 1t is acceptable because It is
safe. 1t is desired because it is un-
derstandable, because 1t is something
even and continuous in a series of un-
even and sporadic occurrences.
The world of to-day is experiencing
at once decided change in It's people
and movements and a more earnest
search for the Perfect Average than
ever before.
The Modern Girl Is, however un-
consciously, wondering how she is to
attain the difficult average between
complete independence and complete
dependence; how to be good, yet in
teresting; how to be self-reliant and
yet keep the flame of masculine chiv-
airy burning; how to be frank, yet
subtle; how to dress comfortably, yet
femininely; how to startle the world
while keeping intact her parents con-
ception of her as dear, home-loving
child.
1t is an interesting, knotty, prob.
lem. Most girls are still in the ex-
perimental stage. That is what so many
people forget. The only time a person
can experiment with himself, his man
ners, his ideals and ideas is when he
is young. BY the time he is middle
aged he is supposed to be settled on
all questions Of domestic and state
Importance, or be forever damned. Be-
sides, some of the zest has gone out Of
experimenting by that time.
Yet it is the middle-aged folk, SNUG

Sergeant Fiaschetti' s Case

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The report in yesterdays paper
OF the demotion of Detective Sergeant
Michael Fiaschetti came as a distinct
shock and surprise. The reason given
by the Commissioner for his action is
far from satisfactory. To say that the
change was made "for the good of the
service" is inadequate and does not
explain anything
II Sergeant Fiaschetti's reduction in
rank is deserved-there was nothing in
the press report to indicate this-then
the grounds for such action should he
made public; if undeserved then If
is nothing short of malicious inerati-
tude shown toward a public servant
who for eighteen years has served so
effectively the interests of public
safety This matter should not be per
mitted to go unchallenged. The facts
should be investigated and made known
to the public. Something seems to be
wrong somewhere.

Though aUeU aUare the breeze is

Those ice cream soda dires!

When tars too freely drank,
The captain went ashore
And dragged 'em up the plank.
The grog of some years back
Was potent and intense;

Devoid of will and sense.
But 71oao he takes the modern stuff,

4 a serious situation. Mr.. Hylan has
/ been five years in office, during all
of which time the traction situation
has been going from bad to worse.
/ Not only has he done nothing to re-
lieve it, but he has opposed and Is
still opposing everything that has
been done by those into whose hands
| the solution has been committed by
the Legislature. Gradually the sus-
pieion has grown that this attitude
| was born of an abysmal ignorance
fof traction matters. The hodge
| podge which he now has put forth
shows how well founded was this
suspicion.
1t is now luminously clear that if
New York is ever to have any more
subways it must get them through
the Transit Commission and that

Hylan entirely from the situation.
If after weeks of work he can make
no better suggestions than these it
is apparent that he could not be
helpful even if he chose to be.
AS to the political harangue which
is woven like a thread through the
mass Of ill-chosen words with which
the manifesto is clothed, that was
to be expected. Mr.. Hylan may lack
logic and constructive ability, but
as long as he has access to the edi-

he never is wanting for abuse of
those who do not take him at his

Professor Dunning

WO historians dQQeQ TO Cne lame
of Columbia University in the last
generation-Professor James Har-
vey Robinson, now with the New
School for Social Research, and
Professor William A. Dunning, who
has just died, ripe in years and rich
in the affections of his students.
Both men were able and original.
Both made new and striking contri-
buttons to their subjects. Profes-
sor Dunning's field was restricted
one. The period of reconstruction
in American history was his chief
interest for many years. A North
erner by birth, he brought to this
highly controversial era clarity
and fairness which made his con
clusions accepted even where preju-
dices were strongest. Thus within
the lifetime of men who can remem-
ber those bitter, tragic years some
thing approaching level and inn
partial view of rights and wrongs
has been achieved. o.
To the labor of Professor Dun
ming this result is largely due, and
it is rare triumph for openmind-
edness and truth. The world is
just beginning to study the Reforma-
ton with an open mind. We are
still far from a just judgment upon
that era of cleavage and massacre
and war. AS it happens it has been
Professor Robinson's mission to re-
move much falsehood and distortion
touching that period. But it can
not be said that he has contributed
the same quality of fairness that
was Professor Dunning's great gift.
| In his eagerness to kick over the
idols of conventional history he has
too often lost his way amid the
ruins and he has now definitely
shifted his career from scholarship
to controversy.
Professor Dunning was not blind
to the newer theories of history CEN
tering around economic problems.
which is to say, mans stomach.
But he never lost sight of the other
factors which control man and he
sounded call of common sense and
level-headedness much needed. It
is question whether any man can
apply greater quality to his time
| than that spirit of luminous fair
ness which was the essence Of Pro-
fessor Dunning's mind. If our
newest historians and newest re-
formers possessed a trife more of
1t they might go further and the
world might fare better and not
worse for their outgivings.

Gerrnany's Bryanisrn

Macmillan Harden, about the
only German who ventured to speak
his honest thought during the war
period, does not weary in truth
telling.
He now sees and declares that it
is not the reparation debt which is
chiefly preventing Germany's eco
nomic recovery, but the paper
mark. The dose that sickens her is
mixed at home and not abroad.
1t has come from applying on a
large scale Mr.. Bryan's ideas. In
evitable consequences have fol-
lowed. Not even war provides so
short cut to universal misery as
do printing presses devoted to the
unlimited manufacture of paper
money.
Germany since armistice day has
devoted herself to whining and to
initiating her currency. The former
has done. her no good because it
has encouraged her people to think
it was useless to try to do any
thing. But the main damage
flowed from her mad fiscal policy.
Our own country is finding diff
ficulty in getting rid of the evil re-
suits of a so per cent depreciation
of the dollar. What would be our
condition if the depreciation had
been 500 times more?
Cursing the French, as Harden
points cut, will not make it more
easy to keep abreast of the col
lapsing value Of the mark. The
day-to-dag variation in its purchas-
ing power not only paralyzes bust
ness conditions, but works frightful
injustice. I'he rapidity wish which
readiustnents can be made varies
greatly among localities aud
classes. The plight of those IN
Germany whose incomes are in q
