COURBOIN IN ORGAN RECITAL.

Fourth in the series of recitals on the
new concert organ in the Wanamaker
auditorium was given yesterday AFTER
noon by Charles M. Corrboin before a
large and enthusiastic audience. The
program comprised Bach's / major pre-
lude and fugue; the Largo" from
Saint-Saens's third symphony; Rach-
maninov's "Serenade,' Wagner's pre-
lude to "Die Meistersinger." the An
dante" from Mallys first sonata. La

Mr.. Courboin played with his accus-

tries, as it would have to be if the
national transportation bill were
crushing the whole public, would be
billions of dollars more year than
the total income OF the country.
The war imitation of three years
ago would be a mere trifle compared
with the imitation that would have
to come with the general imposition
of the living wage" scale the theo-
rists talk about. A dollar might not
be worth a dime compared with nor
NAL purchasing power. The day
laborer at $6 day and the skilled
mechanic at $40 day could easily
find themselves worse off than in the
old days of $3.50 day for unskilled
labor and $4 day for skilled labor.
The United States Railroad Labor
Board does not say and does not
think, nobody in his senses says or
thinks, that Americanism ever would
tolerate wage basis on which work
ers could not support themselves in
accordance with American living
standards. But the United States
Railroad Labor Board knows and
anybody in his senses knows that to
do what the agitators for the false
living wage pretend must be done to
make a living wage would start the
American people and the currency
with which their earnings and profits
are measured in the direction of the
German mark and the Russian ruble.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 3, 1922.
Rising Against the Taxes.

In the English municipal elections
on Wednesday there was a general
rout of the Labor candidates. In
many instances their borough boards
and officials were swept out entirely.
In merely ten Of London's twenty
eight 'boroughs they lost 149 seats.
In several of them, where they had
been supreme, they did not save
single seat.
1.-The reason the voting public of
England turned out the Labor party
control of local government pretty
nearly everywhere throughout the
country was excessive taxes. The
Labor party had adopted, body, boots
and breeches, the socialist doctrine of
municipal ownership of this, that and
the other thing, and had put it into
practice as far as it could. If any
municipal government business were
operated at a loss it put on the
tax screws to supply the deficit. II
sick relief, unemployment or other
schemes were draining local treas
uries dry it twisted the tax screws
again to pay the cost.
But when the public found that 1t
was paying two and three prices in
taxes for what 1t thought it was get
ting for nothing, when even beneti-
ciaries OF the socialist schemes real
lied they were losing more In living
conditions than they were gaining in
the socialist schemes, then the public
began to fire the socialist labor tax
ers out of Office like corn out Of
hopper
Nobody, employer, employee or
whatever he may be. likes excessive
taxes to be piled on his back. Every
body. whatever his politics, wants to
get rid of any party control that piles
excessive taxes on his back. But
when a great business genius at the
head of a government saves waste,
reduces expenditures and cuts taxes
the public is not always so much
alive to the benefit 1t is getting from
his tax cutting as it always is alive
TO the burdens it is carrying when
the taxes are piled on.
Governor MILLER has demonstrated
that he knows how to cut and does
cut taxes for the people Of the State
OF New York, whereas his prede-
csssors had been increasing the taxes
for the people of New York.

Whalen Copies His Master.

The attitude of Mayor HYLAN's
Commissioner of Plant and Struc-
lures in the bus investigation is typ
ical OF the City Hall spirit.
Abusive and defiant, WHALEN gave
a perfect exhibition of what public
servant should not be.
He declared that he was not in
terested in the testimony given be-
fore the Transit Commission to the
effect that political bosses had OBJ
tained bus licenses from his depart
ment under dummy names and had
shared in the profits.
He boasted that he was glad to is
sue the bus permits which MCCARTHY
(the so-called discoverer of HYLAN)
asked for and which were issued in
the names of dummies.
Commissioner WHALEN takes his
keynote of defiance from his master,
HYLAN. He apes the Mayors snarl
and the Mayors cant about the cor
porations. He has no fear that the
Mayor will remove him.
The Mayor, who believes that his
large majority in the election of 1921
was license to do as he pleases, does
not remove his favorites, no matter
what their sins of commission or
omission.
Time and again, in the Lockwood
investigation, the Meyer investiga-
tion and the transit investigation,
the Mayor has had the scandals OF
his administration pointed out.
The Mayor did nothing to purify
the docks or the markets after the
evils Of them had been shown. Is
there any likelihood, then, that he
will clean UP the bus dirt?
The people Of New York look to the
City Hall in vain. Their only hope
lies in the Grand Juries and the Dis
trict Attorneys.

The Living Wage Controversy.

Chairman HOOPER OF the United
States Railroad Labor Board does
well to answer with solid economic
truth and irrefutable material fact
those who have assailed the board
for its living wage" stand. The
board did not say and nobody who
read the boards declaration with a
clear mind can honestly assert the
board said that the maintenance of
way workers could not get an ade-
quate wage on which to live without
wrecking the railroads. The board
distinctly said that the real living
wage was not the thing the union
labor agitators pretended IL was.
These living wage" propagandists
have built up false structure based
on gross miscalculations and plain
misstatcments as to what the work
ingman's family requires to live on in
average workingman's family has in
this country out of which both to
live and TO save The truth about
the living wage fabricators and their
false pretenses should be hammered
home until It is perfectly understood
by the public.
If $3.50, the lowest estimate OF
those living wage" agitators. were
actually required for the workingman
on the lowest wage scale, the require
ments OF the higher scale workers,
with the proper differentials for
skilled labor. would propel them
toward impossible heights.
Tt is fact, as Chairman HOOPER
says, that a general railway wage
scale on the basis of the wage that
was demanded for railway day labor
would have caused a railway deficit
last year OF two and quarter bill
ions OF dollars.
Mis- fact that a wage scale that
would thus wreck the railroads would
ruin at the same time their em-
piQyees and the whole country.
II Is fact that such wage scales
would compel terrific freight and pas
senger rate increases for the general
public to bear.
AMI II is fact that the so-called
living wage demanded for railway
workers when applied to all indus

Old Ties as Fuel.
Railroad Companies Have Tried to
Make Use Of Them.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: II. r. p.
Leshner's letter in regard to discarded
railroad ties which he has noted lying
alongside the right of way of railroads
crossing the New Jersey meadows and
their possible use during this time-~of
fuel conservation is very pertinent. Not
50 very long ago the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn gave out an interesting statement
which explained why we often see piles
OF ties burning along the roadbed.
In the first place. it is far from true
that all the old ties are burned. y
considerable number are sold to per-
sons living on or near the right of way,
who buy them at nominal price. usu-
ally ten or fifteen cents apiece. ana use
them for firewood.
So far the railroad company has
found no other outlet for its discarded
ties. or course this method is only
practicable when the ties can be deliv-
cred at public crossing or other points
safely accessible to the public. To al
low the public TO wander promiscuousy-
over tracks and through yards in searc 1
OF ties would be letting down all bars
against trespassing ON the tracks. a
procedure which could not be sanctioned.
since trespassing has been the cause of
about half OF all the fatal accidents on
the railroads in the United States.
Efforts have been made to interest
dealers in frewooi in buying the old ties,
but thus far without much success. The
reason given is that the old ties are
often dirty that they contain more or
less stone, grit and Stag wedged in the
cracks, which might injure the saws
used in cutting them; that In many
cases they are partly decayed that
they are dried out and that their fiber
is more or less crushed, so that they
burn out too quickly.
These are among the reasons as
signed by dealers, who have not been
willing to pay the railroad company
enough to cover the cost of collecting
the ties and delivering them TO a point
where they could be removed. Other
efforts have been made to dispose OF
the ties for conversion into wood pulp.
for extraction OF chemicals. for fertilizer
purposes and for manufacture into
charcoal, but without success.
The Pennsylvania system has signi-
fed it's willingness to continue and
wherever feasible to extend the present
practice OF selling old ties to consumers
mt nominal prices az points where they
can be delivered to purchasers without
danger and without the cost for coll
lection and transportation exceeding
their value as fuel. II. H.. YOUNG.

The first OF the Symphony Society S
Carnegie Hall series of concerts took
place yesterday afternoon. The pro-
gram consisted OF Glazounov's fifth
symphony, the Brahms Violin concerto
and Respighi's Fountains of Rome
The vlolinist was Albert Spalding, who,
it should be recalled. accompanied the
orchestra on It's now historic tour OF
Europe. The concert of yesterday was
heard by typical Symphony Society
audience and might be dismissed with
out comment.
But hearing music and rehearing II
will always suggest something TO the
attentive listener. Every repetition or
the Glazounov symphony. which was
composed in 1895, evokes wonder as to-
whether the musician had not yet made
the acquaintance of Wagner's young
Siegfried and the sword, Nothing. or
course he must have heard III Trova-
tore" and Aida" and dwelt In the fairy
land of Mendessohn But why parade
so many pleasant recollections? In
music 1t does not pay to pat old wine In
new bottles, no matter how good the
wine may be.
Listening again to Respighi's foun-
tain babbling at dawn. high noon and
sunset, one wonders why he selected
the Triton fountain for his scheme. He
should have known that IL a Triton
blew his horn mermaids would respond
and that the best ones came from the
neighborhood OF the Loreleiberg. What
ancient Roman aqueduct carries water
from the Rhine? History tells us not.
However, there Is one near Metz, and
that is in the debatable country not far
from the Mosel
Mr.. Damrosch and his orchestra de-
livered the precious drops from Respi-
ghfs cup with loving hands. Tos au-
dience drank and was refreshed Mr..
Spalding played the concerto well, but
he has played it in the past with more
mellowness of tone and warmth of style.
Mme Florence Easton of the opera
gave song recital last evening in Car
negie Hall. Her program was admirable.
1t began with the customary group Of
old airs including the familiar one Of
Gluck from 'Iphigenie en- Tauride" and
less known one by the same master
from I'll Trionfo di Clelia." Then fol-
lowed Schumann's bride songs and
three others, a group of Hugo Wolf.
selected manifestly to make contrast
with the deeply felt lyrics of Schu-
mann, French songs by Ravel and Dali
croze. Spanish songs arranged by Frank
La Forge, the accompanist of the even
ing, and American songs by Rothwell,
Critics and La Forge.
Much might be said of the artistic
skill which planned the list with its
progress from the stately classic
through the intensely romantic to the
delicate humor of Wolf and the later
styles found toward the end. But more
important was the art of the singer.
This was a song recital of beauty and
poetic eloquence. Nine. Easton's voice

Light and Heat Elements.
Recent Revival of One Of Lav0isier's
Theories.
From Nature.


Those who are familiar with the his
tory of the elements will know, and those
who are not familiar can easily inform
themselves of the fact, that Lavoisier
included among the elements both light
and heat, which he classified along with
oxygen. nitrogen and hydrogen.
A more detailed study of his "Traite
Esmentaire de Chimie" will show that
before discussing the. compounds of
oxygen, nitrogen, &C., with other ele-
ments he devoted q brief chapter to
observations on the compounds OF light
and heat with different substances. The
rapid development Of chemistry soon led
10 the abandonment of these imponder-
able elements. which came to be re-
garded as different manifestations OF
energy IL Is therefore OF interest to
read in the Pharmaceutical Journal Of
August ~ a letter in which Mr.. Carol
A. Cofmsn Nicoresti. B. es Sc. ct Lettr..
announces, as a final conclusion OF his
investigation Of gaseous volume and
pressure "that heat and light are both
material substances, that they enter into
chemical combination with other ele-
neHls, ana llldl NHcy arc lhAONh out ny
chemical reaction"
II is perhaps compliment to Lavoi-
sier that even his untenable hypothesis
should thus undergo resurrection; but
that they should be put forward as
original can only be taken as sign of
imperfect chemical education. In one
other respect Mr.. Nicorestrs growth as
student OF chemistry appears TO have
been arrested at period more than a
century earlier than Lavoisicr. since he
asserts that after careful consideration
he Is driven to the conclusion that
there are no such things as gases, but
that there is only one gas In nature.
That explains why the gaseous laws
are so uniform"
In this respect he apparently adopts
the views OF Boyle and Mayow. and his
chemical education appears to have been
carried forward but little further than
the period of Agricols. who "hinted Chat
the gases in mines we're manifestations
OF malignant imps."

Demands for postage stamps during
October exceeded all previous records.
The Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing had great difficulty in filling the
orders from the Post Office Depart
ment. On October 90 the largest sin
gle day shipment of postage stamps
in the history Of the Department was
made: 3l5,265,O 900 stamps OF all de-
nominations were sent to fifteen Of the
largest post Offices OF the country in
1,702 packages, each fourteen Inches
long, twelve inches high and ten inches
wide. Five hundred and slxty-eight
mail pouches were required to carry
the stamps with three packages TO n
sack. The postal authorities hope this
unprecedented call for stamps means
that Americans have begun TO do their
Christmas shopping carly.

Mussolini's Foreign Policy.

The fear expressed in parts of Eu-
rope that the success of the Fascist
and the formation by MUssoLINI of
Ministry strongly Nationalist in
rope seems premature. The Italian
Government has not yet announced
a foreign policy, and the assertion
that it would embark upon adventures
for making territorial accessions is
contradicted by the statement which
MUssoLINI has sent to the Powers.
The designations of the Italian Am
bassadors at Washington, Paris and
Berlin have been taken to signify an
entirely new Italian policy of expan
sion with which they were not in
accord. This action on the part of
Ambassador RICcI at Washington and
Ambassador FRAssATI at Berlin
comes more or less as the usual re-
suit of change of administration
at Rome. The appointment of both
was in a measure political; RIccI
was aligned with the liberal Demo-
cratic party and FRAssATI with one
CT the socialistic groups, and neither
was believed to be in political SYM
pathy with the Fascist. Besides,
Signor RIcoI left Washington some
time ago for Italy, and 1t was said
that IL was doubtful whether he
would resume his Ambassadorial
duties in this country.
The resignation of Ambassador
SFoRzA at Paris is perhaps less purely
perfunctory in character than that of
the other two Ambassadors. He was a
participant at some of the peace con-
ferences at Paris and has been for
years in the diplomatic service OF his
country. representing Italy in several
Of the treaties regarding the Adriatic
and the Balkan States. He gives as
reason for his resignation that a
foreign policy which is really a policy
and not merely group OF likes and
dislikes should be in charge of men
who are in accord with the ideas of
the new Government. Premier Mus
sorINI protested against the resig-
nation. especially in view of the fact
that SFoRzA did not know what the
foreign policy OF the new Government
would he.
The danger points as seen by the
alarmists are in the relations Of Italy
with Jugo-Siavia, Greece, Albania,
and the other Balkan States. A con
ciliatory policy was pursued by Italy
in the settlement with Jugo-Slavia by
which the question Of Fiume and the
control of the Adriatic was appar-
emily adjusted TO the satisfaction of
both States. There is no reason for
supposing that MUssoLINr or any of
his advisers believes that in the pur-
suit of vigorous policy IL will be
necessary TO scrap this treaty.
The question OF Albania was also
relieved of much OF its uncertainty
by the withdrawal OF the Italian
troops from that country. The OBJ
lection of the Fs isti at the time TO
G1oLrTT1s Govern ient was not based
so much on oppo' tion TO the italian
withdrawal as it was on the fact that
the withdrawal was carried on in
such a way as to bring humiliation
upon the nation. Another factor in
this situation is that it is not def
nitely known IL the Giolltti Govern
ment actually secured by treaty the
protection Of Italy's eastern coast
