SATURDAY, APRIL %. 1922.
A Regrettable Incident.

The Internal Revenue Bureaus rul-
Ing on gifts to the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation can make only a most
painful impression upon the American
public. Not TO permit such contribu-
tions to be deducted from incomes
subject to taxes on the same footing
with similar contributions to the Nc
Kinley Memorial Association and the
Roosevelt Memorial Association is
something that the citizenship of this
great country never can be made to
understand on any basis OF petty
technicalities.
1t is incredible that officials of the
bureau with grain OF intelligence
could have deliberately sought such
contemplate grounds to show an Of
fensively partisan discrimination
against those giving of their means
to do honor to one of our great Presi-
dents. Undoubtedly they must have
thought they were only doing their
duty under the provision of the in
come tax law But the fact is none
the less unfortunate, in spite of the
failure of the Wilson Foundation to
incorporate as an institution en-
titling its supporters to income tax
deductions. The bureau has so
treated the delicate question as to
convince millions of our people that
a department Of the Republican Ad-
ministration was not unwilling to let
a miserable little technicality cost the
Wilson Foundation subscribers in
taxes what il would not have cost
them il they had given their money
to the memorials of the two other
Presidents, who were Republicans.
Instead OF very much displeasing,
indeed shocking. the sensibilities Of
the broadminded, generous Amer
lean public. as it has done by its
clumsy handling OF the case, the
Internal Revenue Bureau could have
gratified the country very deeply by
straining every technical point to the
limit in favor OF the contributors to
the Woodrow Wilson Foundation
until such time as it could comply
with the formalities of the law either
by suitable incorporation or other
wise.
Happily it is not too late to remedy
this unpleasant situation by action
both of the bureau and OF the man.
ayers OF the Woodrow Wilson Foun-
dation, and no time should be lost in
so doing. But even were it beyond
their power to mend the matter now
THE New YORK HERALD goes so far
as to say that Congress would owe it
to itself and owe it to the country
in proper respect to ex-President
WILSON to correct this unfortunate
blunder. The people of the United
States could not be content with any
thing less.

Detectives at $4,000 a Year.

The proposal made by Police Com
missioner ENRIGHT to establish Sc
cret service unit of twenty-five men
with salaries of $4,000 a year is sen
sible. One OF the particular flaws in
the Police Department, aside from
its general disintegration in the last
four years, is its evident lack of
highly intelligent detective service.
If detectives with brains-not mere
automatons who run errands-had
been on the Job these last six months
it is likely that more of the bandits
that have infested the town would
be in prison Not that detective is
expected TO be on hand when crime
occurs, but in the case of the robbers
their identities could have been dis
covered. All common criminals are
braggarts, all have hangouts, all have
companions whom clever detectives
can use for the ends of justice. Yet
the New York Police Department un-
der ENRIGHT seems to have been un-
able to match its wits against the
people OF the underworld.
The pay proposed, while it is 500
year more than police inspectors
receive, is not too much for good de-
tectives. The new men, THE NEW
YORK HERALD assumes. would be re-
cruited wherever the best talent is
to be found, whether in New York
or elsewhere. whether in the profes-
sion or outside. Filling these $4,000
places with political and personal
favorites of the city administration
would of course be simply wasting
money. For $4,000 the Police De-
partment should get operatives as
competent as the men in the secret
service Of the Department of Justice
or the post Office inspectors who pro
duce such good results with such
little noise.
Another reason why Commissioner
ENEIGHT's request should be granted
is that he should be deprived of any
excuse for further failure. The more
he gets and does not profit by. the
worse he will be shown up.

War was much larger as three
year-old than Lucky Hour, but the
latter is big enough for all purposes
and is a distinct credit to his young
sire. Hourless, which was bred in
France by Mr.. BELMONT and is now
one of the sires at the Nursery Stud.
Lucky Hour is inbred TO Rock

the colts as yearlings from their
breeder.
Missionary is also by Hourless, and
as his dam, Mission. is by Rock Sand
he too is the result of inbreeding.
While Missionary is above the aver
age he is far from being in the same
class as Lucky Hour. His Chestnut
coat is of special interest to students
OF the Mendelian theory. His sire is
a dark brown or black, while his
dam was also brown.
Lucky Catch. the dam OF Lucky
Hour, died few days ago in Ken

Unnoted Changes OF Time.

TO THE NEW York HERALD: ! have
variously Travelled with conscientious OBJ
jectors TO daylight saving time. west on
trains and east on steamers, and II was
amusing TO observe the ease and uncon-
sclous assent with which they accepted
the changes in time, especially meal time.
Anyway, Is there anybody who can tell
the time OF day within even an hour
without looking at clock or watch? In
our daily routine we are governed by
surroundings, and Il is safe to say that
the disadvantages Of daylight saving
are very largely imaginary, but that the
benefit In health and comfort to the peo-
pie In general is very real and very
great. PHILIP WAGNER.

Modified Daylight Saving.

{ To THE New YORK HERALD: Having
noted the arguments pro and con or
daylight saving; realizing that the
farmer gets his harvesting completed
during the first of the month of July
and his early and late work completed
for the year by this time, and that the
evenings are late enough up till then.
and that the late evenings are really
enjoyed most during July. August and
September. ! wish to make the follow
ing suggestion:
That Congress pass a law that the
daylight saving period shall be from
the second Sunday in July until the
second Sunday In October"

The Reed Bird.

In the green midmost of the spring
i CHANGED upon sunny swale
And saw him sway and heard him sing
The reed bird in the galingale.
His was the charm. his was the cheer.
or the old blithe Arcadian mirth;
To me his vernal voice brought near
The primal rapture OF the earth.
And all day long his melody
Till twilight drew its lilac veil
Made glad the vagrant heart of me,
The reed bird in the salingale.

The Motor Truck Invasion.

In the opinion of the Joint Com
mission of Agricultural Inquiry of
Congress. the country's 100000
miles Of rural highways are as a
whole far below the standard essen
tial to meet the growing needs of
motor truck transportation.
The situation could hardly be 9th
erwise. The increase of freight
movement by motor trucks has been
so rapid, the wear and tear on roads
has so exceeded forecasts, that high
way maintenance is every day be-
coming more difficult problem. The
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
estimates that approximately a bill
ion and a quarter tons Of goods are
annually hauled by motor trucks.
The development of this form Of
transport in the next five years is a
matter OF speculation about which
there is no certainty except its un'
certainty.
That the long haul motor freight
truck is here to stay as an important
unit in the country's transportation
system is beyond question. Its ad-
vantages in some cases over railroad
transport are obvious. Even at the
same charge by the mile 1t is cheaper
than rail conveyance. It's door to
door delivery of goods eliminates
double loadings and unloadings as
well as local delivery charges. And
this Is saying nothing of the lessened
risk of damage from -ehandling and
the incidental saving of time. In
moving household goods within wide
regions the motor truck has already
won great popularity.
What the ultimate effect of this
truck competition will be on railroad
revenues is a problem of which all
the factors are not yet clearly de.
fined. In the meantime the develop
ment has been so rapid and on SO
broad a scale that it has raised ques-
tions concerning highway mainte-
nance and interstate regulations
faster than they can De solved. The
commission of Congress which is in
vestigating the subject believes that
great sums of money must be spent
on the 100000 miles of rural high
ways before they can be brought to
the present necessities of motor
truck transportation.
The commission also indicates the
necessity OF cooperation in the mat
ter of establishing uniform State We
hicle rates. The great variations in
these charges. showing as they dc
here in the East differences between
nearby States OF from so to 220
per cent. for one type Of vehicle. are
an unnecessary handicap on inter
state truck transportation. 1t is one
OF the problems to be solved before
the country can get the full benefit
OF this valuable addition to the mech
anism Of freight transportation, on
which the industrial and commercial
life of the nation depends.
