Staten Island-Manhattan
The Tunnel That Would Populate
Richmond and Boost Values


To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "Still Marooned,"
apropos OF the projected Staten Island
tunnel. called, believe, the "Hylan
Tunnel" as am informed his honor
takes credit for the enactment Of the
mandatory bill appertaining thereto,
in my judgment hits the nail on the
head"
Il is only fair for me 20 say that ]
am not altogether a disinteressed advo-
cate for a tunnel 10 Staten Island that
will suitably meet the typographical
need, inasmuch as I am counsel for an
old New Yorker. retired merchant,
who owns a large tract OF land, desir-
able for building purposes. In what Is
called the southheld section Of the
island. Hence, am n student Of the
problem OF linking Manhattan and
Staten Island, and believe that am
posted up 10 the bent Of my capacity.
II may be natural for his honor,
Brooklynite, 10 favor a tunnel 70
Staten Island under tho water. OF the
Narrows. But am at loss TO under
stand why he should not do all he can
to expedite tunnel between Staten
Island and Manhattan.
As TO the traffic situation; The
morning and evening congestion is due
10 the fact that the morning travel on
Manhattan Island Is all south and In
the evening II is all north. or nearly
so. Now, II Staten Island were linked
TO Manhattan, thousands Of acres would
be opened for men Of moderate means
10 build on.
Staten Island Is Is per cent larger than
Manhattan Island. There are tens OF
thousands Of suitable building lots
that could be obtained for less than
$500 a lot. Frame houses can be
erected suitable In every respect for
families averaging five or six persons
for about $4,000. Just now no land In
: any accessible portion Of the Bronx can
be purchased for that amount Of money.
Men doing business on Manhattan
Island below Forty-second Street.
With a tunnel 10 the center Of Staten
!. Island, could get to their work In very
much less time than II now takes 10 90
10 the Bronx. with such tunnel the
travel night and morning would be re-
versed TO the extent Of hundreds Of
thousands.
Il has been estimated that Z tunnel
can be put across the Bay, a vehieular
tunnel at that, for less than s25,00o,o0o.
II such a tunnel were constructed, the
appraised value Of Staten Island would
jump by leaps and bounds. The city
could put out bond to cover the con-
struction OF the tunnel, even at the
present high rate Of interest, at 3 per
cent. Such a bond, In my opinion.
would sell at a premium. Five per cent
at such an issue would represent
yearly outgo Of s1.25o,ooo. Say that
there were provision for sinking fund
Of s per cent more-that would be
81, SEQ 900 q year. Now, I assert that
tho increased taxation the city
would receive by reason Of the In
creased appraisal, would be moro than
s., SOC, 900 a year.
Why in the name Of common sense
arc not our municipal statesman able
to SEQ so plain a proposition7

commerce OF the nation. "The striker
calls IL strike" declared Kipling,
viewing the A. r. u. strike in 1894, "snd
the newspapers call It war" And the
difference between a strike and a war
you can put in your eye, even II you
have already rather large and hectic
sty there. What we have 10 war. And
no war ever was waged in which all the
right was on one side and all the
wrong on the other. Generally one
side has its preponderanes OF right, but
not all Of Il, and In condemning the
strikers let US not forget these two
things: First, that they were promised
by the Railroad Labor Board that wage
adjustments should be based upon a
living wage for the unskilled workers,
and that this promise was broken.
And. second, that while the Railroad
Labor Board is now outlawing the
strikers and Is msrshalling all the
power Of public sentiment against the
strikers for ignoring the order Of the
board the railroads of the country
themselves badly. fagrantly and I'M
pudently ignored the order Of the same
board which demanded that the rail-
roads quit farming out shop work to
non-union shops not owned BY the rail
roads. This order Of the board was
not Just disobeyed. 1t was disobeyed
impudently. and then the railroads
which were violating the order went to
the courts and got out an injunction to
prevent tho board from srraigning pub
lie sentiment against the railroads which
disobeyed tho boards orders. This is
no time TO strike. The railroad craft
unions have started troubls when
trouble should be tied TO the post. And
apparently the Administration Is con-
vineed that the country's right TO an
unfettered commerce Is paramount 70
any plea for justice which the workers
may make. And there Is some sense In
this position. II considers the greatest
good 70 the greatest number as for the
moment being the larger good. But
when all that Is said and done we who
stand on the side linees and watch the
battle should not forget that for 4oo,-
600 shop workers this strike seems to
be a strike 10 maintain what they re-
gard as contract and to require their
employers to obey. In the matter OF
farming out shop work, the orders OF
the same Railway Labor Board that
now Is outlawing the workers. One
should be able to hold these mitigating
circumstances In ones heart, and one
should be able TO deplore the strike
without at the same time branding the
strikers as enemies Of society, plotting
to overthrow organized government
And. holding such impartial views, ono
should be permitted to express them
calmly, and perhaps with a grin at the
sizzling bitterness Of both sides, and
still not be branded as q sympathizer
with Lenine and Trotzky and partner
Of ruin and chaos.
New-York tribune., 1922-07-09
Too Much Bureaucracy

Eminent artists, including Charles
Dana Gibson, Alonzo Williams, Ed
ward Penfeld and Ernest Peixottol
have been giving free instruction to
disabled war veterans with talent
for drawing, in order to fit them to
earn their living. The work he's
been very successful. Many vet
erans now have remunerative en-
ployment because of the practical
instruction given TO them.
Now the Veterans Bureau, which
supervises the work Of instructing
disabled veterans in all branches,
insists that the school conducted by
the artists be improved" and that
paid instructors be substituted for
Mr.. Gibson and his associates.
The artists naturally refuse to
carry on the work under such an
arrangement. They gave their
services because they wanted to help
the veterans. They will not take
pay, and they doubt the usefulness
of instructors who will work only
for pay.
AS a consequence the school has
gone out Of existence. Why such
an order was issued has not been
revealed But the veterans COM
plain justly that there has been
altogether too much bureaucracy in
most Of the governments dealings
with them and wonder why common
sense is not applied.

"Dethroning Judge Lynch"
Colored Peoples Association Fayor'
Federal Anti-Lynching Laws


To the Editor Of the Tribune.
Sir: wish TO express TO you our ap-
probation for the splendid editorial,
"Dethroning Judge Lynch" which ap-
peared in The Tribune. We consider
this one Of the soundest and best argu-
men,s for Federal anti-lynching legisia-
tion which have yet appeared.
II Is worse than idle TO talk about
reserving to the states a right which
the majority Of them have proved them
selves absolutely unable 70 exercise.
We may as we'll realize and admit that
although most Of the states are able
TO and actually do deal with crimes BY
individuals they are pawerless with re-
gard 10 crimes committed by mobs'
Upon this point It may be truthfully
said that state authority has broken
down. This is true not only OF South
ern states but Northern states as we'll.
Il will take nothing less than the
strength OF the Federal government 10
prevent mobs from oyerthrowing
authority and taking the execution OF
law into their own hands.
We have sent a marked copy OF The
Tribune containing this editorial TO
every member OF the Senate.

New-York tribune., 1922-07-09

The primary victory OF Beverage
in Indiana must have been huke, due
somewhat to the weakness OF New.
Pinchot's nomination in Pennsylvania
might easily have been explained as
revolt against the machine. But II
was an agricultural revolt. Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh voted against Pin
chot. Brookhart, OF Iowa, was nomi-
mated in rather conspicuous defiance OF
the Republican organization, and his
nomination, brought about by the Re-
publican farmers and lsborers OF the
state. began to be significant largely
because il followed the nomination OF
peveridge and Pinchot. And now Sem
ator McCumber goes. Senator Nc
Cumbcr, by reason Of his position as
chairman of the Finance Committee OF
the United States Senate. occupies
rather more dignifed and important
place than a Cabinet member. The
chairman Of the Finance Committee has
more power over domestic affairs than
anv Cabinet member. And in the case
Of Senator MeCumber he belonged to
that faction Of the Republican party
which was upholding the Administra-
tion and was recognized as part OF
the Administration. His defeat Is
clearly a sign that the Administration
is losing its hold upon the Republicans
Of the country. chiefly among the farm
ers and laboring mon. But 1t is sig
nifcant only following the defeat OF
New, the Presidents friend. and the
nomination OF Pinehot and Brookhart'
Republicans who are obviously out CT
sympathy with President Harding's
ideas; Republicans who appeal to farm
ers and laboring men upon issues which
the Administration does not indorse.
Another thing Is euriously interest
Ing about these recent primary defeats
OF tho Republican organization COM
monty known as the Old Guard. The
revolt has been working 10 a climax.
II began with Beveridge. who Is GER
tainly not a radical, but is sanely pro-
gressive. Then came Pinehot, who is
about forty rods ahead Of Beveridge'
but still dependable to keep within easy
walking distance Of the main body OF
the Republican army. Then came
grookhart. OF Iowa. He replaces Ken
yon. who was gently but firmly skidded
out Of his seat on to the Federal bench
beesuse he was too radical. And
Brookhart Is a part Of the Republican
army only because he wears the uni
form. He is way ahead OF the man
army. with the scouts ard pioneers. he
is as radical as La Toilette. And now
AZ the climax, we have Governor Fra
zier 70 succeed Senator McCumber. And
Frazier was the leader Of the Nom
partisan League in North Dakota! It's
a long jump from Beveridge to Frazier
but the Republicans have made 1t IN
three jumps.
And II you are nervous 1t would be

Endowing a Tree

The suggestion Of Samuel Par
sons that money be raised from pri-
vate sources to plant trees in Gen.
trail Park as memorials has many
merits.
1t is only necessary to walk
through the park to see that its re-
forestation is gravely needed. 1t is
apparently assumed that it Is only
necessary to plant tree and nature
will do the rest. In the country this
is often so, but in cities the trees
have so many enemies that they re-
ouire constant care and help. Where
the natural methods of soil renewal
are denied the soil must be re-
freshed.
A tree has a personality as clearly
marked as that Of an animal or
human. Not only have different spe-
cies distinc. characteristics, but each
individual has an air that distin-
puishes it from its fellows. Its
trunk. its limbs, the hang Of its
leaves, all 90 to make Of it thing
apart from others Of its kind.
In the present instance The prob
lem is not only one Of planting but
Of tending trees. To do this Mr..
Parsons suggests form of tree en-
dowment, each person or group de-
string a memorial to raise $1,000, OF
which part is to go for .he planting
of the tree and part for its upkeep.

The Closure Farce

n, Senate refused to order clos
.. On the McCumber tariff bill.
r,r, was every reason why 1t
..suld refuse. The question voted
= was stOppage Of debate on par
sulsr measure, not further limita-
in Of debate on all measures, such
r i proposed in Senator Kelioggs
rsolution. For the latter case
rirht well be made. But no case
nu be made for closure on a tariff
u,,sure only half completed and
iadeuuately considered, with 1900
lssndments pending and perhaps
sn equal number in prospect, all al
issting directly production and con-
sumption prices in the United States.
Senator Watson's claim that the
McCumber bill has been held up
By partisan obstruction Is without
merit. Everybody knows that ac-
ton on the bill has been retarded by
the Republican managers, who took
almost a year to make up their
minds what to do with the Fordney
measure sent over from the House.
The Fordney bill passed on July 21,
1921. On July 7, 1922, the Repub-
licsn Senator's put in a boisterous
plea that too much time has been
lost bringing ii to a vote in the Sem
ate! Political Joe Millering could
60 no further.
The fact is that very little serious
ecrsideration has been given to the
roblems Of permanent tariff re-
nSon either in the House or the
Senate. A tariff bill with thou
ands Of items must be discussed
and studied serioti. This discus
sion always has been recognized as
kGtimate. Debate on the details Of
schedules has never been choked on
IN the Senate and ought not to be
ckoked OF now. 1t doesn't consti-
tnte flibustering. IL helps to fur
fhsh the country with information
about tariff rates which would other
wise not be obtainable.
The Payne Aldrich tariff bill
passed the Senate without the aid Of
closure. 1t was unfortunately in
the hands Of a Finance Committee
Chairman who knew only too well
what he wanted and how to get it.
The Republican party and the coun-
try had to pay a heavy price later
for his errors of judgment. Mr.. Nc
Cumber is no Nelson w. Aldrich.
de doesn't know exactly what he
wants. He is a little afraid Of his
own work. Imagine Mr.. Aldrich
getting up in the Senate and say
ing, in effect: "The rates in my bill
are susceptible Of abuse. Please,
gentlemen who are TO benefit by
them, don't abuse them. AS a favor
!" me 20 easy and spare the Ameri-
ean consumer as far as you can"
The country d:strusts a bill thus
Advertised by its sponsor. 1t has
no confidence in Mr.. McCumber's
workmanship. 1t would feel out
.aged to see his revision rushed
,aseolessly = through the Senate, as
y M fordney's was rushed through
"e House. The Senate has spent a
year on a half-baked, makeshift bill.
Inc present revision is not ripe and
we times are not ripe for it. What
= needed in its case is not closure,
Dut intensive reconsideration for at
least another year.
