Go East, Young Man, Go East u

Maine is preparing to follow New
Hampshire in campaign OF pub
licity. The methods may differ, but
the objective. in both cases is the
same. Each State is trying TO pro-
mote an immigration that will restore
to productivity thousands of acres OF
excellent farm land now either vir-
tually abandoned or inadequately
cultivated
For years back several Of the New
England States have been making
occasional efforts in this line. The
results were unsatisfactory. II is
now proposed to engage public atten-
tion by methods better organized and
better sustained. New Hampshire is
already in the field. Her publicity
agents are sounding the slogan Go
East. Young Man. Go East" The
campaign is being pressed with espe-
cial energy in the middle West. where
the torbears Of many of the present
generation we're New Englanders
lured across the Alleghenies in the
early days by the cheap. fertile lands
of the West.
But the day of cheap Western farm
lands has long gone by. Prices have
steadily risen until in many regions
they are beyond the reach Of farmers
OF limited capital. And as Western
farm values went up Eastern farm
values went down. This is illustrated
by statigtlcs assembled by the Maine
state Chamber Of Commerce.
With the average price of farm
land throughout the United States at
sy7 an acre. in Maine II IS s21. In
Missouri and Wisconsin II is s7S, in

Tax Free Bonds.

President HARDING is expected to
ask Congress to set in motion the
procedure for another Constitutional
Amendment. This would be to pro-
hibit the issue of tax exempt securi-
ties by States and municipalities.
But aside and apart from the OBJ
lection to the growing tendency to
bury the original Constitution under
vast litter of amendments, how is
the national Government going to in
duce the States to accept change
in the fundamental law that will very
much increase the rate of interest
they and the municipalities within
their jurisdiction now pay on all their
borrowings?
The State, with the municipal COR
poration within it, is now the cheap
est borrower in the country and the
world. Moreover, il is the State along
with the municipality that is vastly
heavier borrower in normal times
than the national Government. 1t is
persistent and constantly increas-
ing borrower even when the national
Government is reducing or virtually
wiping out its debt.
For States to make their bonds and
the bonds of their municipalities tax
able by agreeing to the proposed Con-
stitutional Amendment might mean
for them the stern necessity of add
ing beyond the charges they now pay
all the way from / per cent. to 2 per
cent. to the interest rates they would
have to pay on their billions of dol
lars of borrowing in the next sew
eral years, not to speak of the long
future.
The interest rates paid by States
and municipalities come out of the
pockets of the taxpayers in those
States and municipalities. So the
United States Government would be
asking the States. in effect, to tax
themselves and their municipalities
and their taxpaying populations enor-
mously, not for their own uses but
for the uses of the national Treasury.
THE New York HERALD cannot
see the States doing anything of
the kind, and THE NEW YORK HERALD
does not think the States should do
anything of the kind. The States
will be justified in taking the stand
that the national Government has all
the taxing power it needs to get all
the revenues it needs for legitimate
and reasonable purposes.

but which is yet to be formulated.
There may be some regret that TU-
RATI, who was the ablest man of the
Facta Cabinet, is not member of
the new Ministry. RossI, who was in
the Facta Cabinet. is the only member
of MUssoLINI's Ministry who has had
Cabinet experience. The members
were all chosen on account of their
peculiar fitness, although the State
service of most of them has been
confined to short terms in the Cham
ber of Deputies.
The real strength of the new Min
istry lies in the ability and fearless
ness of it's strong head and in the
honesty and sincerity of it's individ-
ual members. 1t is upon these ster-
ling qualities of leader and follow
ers that Italy is depending to sweep
away the political isms and weak
nesses from which she has been suf-
fering and to restore the national
health and spirit. The world is
watching Italy to-day as it never
watched her before, even in the days
OF her struggle for independence and
unity. MUssoLINI, the builder of
Italian nationality, is as worthy Of a
place in history as is GARIBALDI, the
founder.

Nebraska SIS, in Ohio SS5, in Indiana
s104, in Illinois s163 and in Iowa S199.
In New Jersey, among the Eastern
States, the average price of an acre
of farm land is $40 more than in
Maine.
With characteristic thoroughness
the Maine Immigration campaign has
opened with preliminary survey of
the States assets. The fact is stated
that Names area of 33.040 square
miles lacks only 344 square miles of
being equal to the combined area of
all the other New England States. In
the matter of soil fertility Maine pro-
duces more yellow corn to the acre
than Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Mich
igan, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota or
Wisconsin. 1t produces more oats to
the acre than Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri or
Nebraska.
In the face of this fertility and in
the face of farm land prices lower by
from $50 to $3.50 an acre than prices
in the Western States, Maine farms
have fallen off in numbers and in
cultivated acreage. There has been
a proportionate decrease in farm pop
ulation, while there has been an in
crease in farm mortgage indebted
ness. This condition is not peculiar
to Maine. 1t holds very largely
throughout New England.
1t is condition for which there is
no satisfactory surface explanation.
The remedy is being sought in re-
population efforts largely directed
toward the middle West. The old
folks cannot be brought back home.
Most of them are asleep in Western
cemeteries. But some Of their de-
scendants may be induced to retrace
the footsteps of their fathers and re-
light the fires on the darkened hearths
of the old New England homesteads.
1t is to these that New Hampshire is
especially appealing in the middle
West, an appeal, it may be hoped,
that will not be in vain.

Presbyteries to Fight DR.. Fosdick
Church Paper in Philadelphia Warns Against Threat of
Excision Unwse and Dangerous

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-Presbyteriar

direct the Presbytery Of New York to
take such action as will require the
preaching and teaching I'm the First
Presbyterian Church of New York city
TO conform to the system of doctrine
taught in the Confession of Faith"
DR.. Fosdick is not mentioned in the
overture. but everybody understands
that the object. is to get DR.. Fosdick out
Of the pulpit of the New York church.
He is Baptist Clergyman and pro-
fessor in Union Theological Seminary.
The Presbyterian Banner congratu-
lates the Philadelphia Presbytery. and
predicts that other Presbyteries will take
similar action before the meeting OF the
General Assembly. at Indianapolis next
May. 1t cautions Presbyteries to refrain
from threatening the New York Presby-
terry.
"The protest, in our judgment, is
well taken, and it should be largely
ndorsed," says the Banner. "Only let
all Endorsement be careful of the Ian
guage employed, and no threats of ex-
cision be made against the Presbytery
of New York, in case IL fails to do it's
duty in this matter, as we're made Icy

Threats never accomplish anything
except to aggravate the already great
difficulties in a case like this. Further
more, Presbyterian history shows Us
that excelsior has not only been threat

with very bad results. Our experience
In the past with this weapon of excision

approach the New York Presbytery "ln

that in the interest of sound doctrine
and church unity 1t will do its duty. its

they were using their posts to influence
people to sail on American ships. An
inquiry conducted by Nelson Johnson

WASHINGTON, Nov. l (Associated
Press).-The State Department had not
received to-day the British reply to the
note in which the American Govern
ment declared British charges against
Consul Slater and Vice-Consul Brooks
at Newcastle, had not been sustained
after a careful investigation.
Pending advices showing what the
British authorities propose regarding
future activities of American consuls
no comment was available, but the
American Government will not be salts
fled with any British action that does
not publicly clear the records of Slater
and Brooks beyond doubt. Until this
has been accomplished the consulate
will remain closed. Washington Is not
disposed to accept any proposition
which might be viewed as compromise

The Educated Trained Nurse.

Refutation of a current error con-
cerning the comparative educational
qualifications of the trained nurse OF
the day and her predecessor of a
score or more years ago is given in
statistics published recently. The err
ror referred to is expressed in the
assertion sometimes made that the
women Of previous generation who
were attracted to the profession of
nursing were as a class superior to
those who now engage in the calling
and were better educated in the gen
eral sense OF the word. This charge
is more frequently heard from the
patient than from the physician.
According to the statistics, the
educational qualifications of the $50
nurses enrolled for the correspon-
dence course in public health nursing
recently opened by the University
and Bellevue Medical College in CO.

Department of Health were of an un-
usually satisfactory grade. Analysts
shows that nearly 40 per cent. Of the
applicants had passed through a
course Of four years in high school,
while more than per cent. had
passed at least two years in college.
Less than quarter of the applicants
had not had at least two years of
education in high school.
SO much for the general educational
preparation of these women for their
duties. On the technical side. most
OF them had had some preliminary
instruction and more than So per

No Help From the Mayor.

Mayor HYLAN's attitude toward the
hus investigation indicates that the
city cannot expect help from him in
the publication of this scandal.
The Mayor assumes that every rev.
elation made before the Transit Com
mission is the result of political
trickery" and that the Commission
is willing to try to put over any
thing before election time"
1t is pitiful thing for New York
that its chief executive should greet
the exposure of wrongdoing with
nothing but abuse.
The bus investigation has shown
the profitable connection between bus
lines and the kinsmen and friends of
Tammany Hall bosses.
1t has shown that bus license
was given to An indicted police in
spector to tide him over his period
of suspension.
1t has been testified that an at
tempt was made to extort $4,000
from bus owner and that this man
lost his bus business soon after he
refused to pay the blackmail.
The bus business of the city is done
under Commissioner of the Mayors
own appointment. The Mayor can
investigate the department, learn the
truth, and, if the Commissioner is
culpable, remove him.
Thus far the Mayor has not taken
a step toward finding the truth for
himself.
The Mayor failing them, the people
and the Transit Commission must
look elsewhere for the righting OF
wrong.
Luckily there are still Grand Juries
and District Attorneys.
