A Trick That Can't Be Done!

The Mayor some weeks ago an
nounced that he was going 20 investi-
gate the Town Hall outrage of
November 13 and that his Commits
sioner Of Accounts, HIRsHFIELD,
would hold the hearings.
The outrage consisted in the viola
tion of the constitutional right Of
free speech. The persons who at
tempted to talk at the Town Hall
meeting were prevented from doing
so by police who had been sent by
the Headquarters clique-itself per-
haps inspired from elsewhere--to per-
form this ugly and lawless job.
Commissioner HIRsHF1EID pretends
that the hearings he is now holding
are an investigation of the Town
Hall meeting, but the pretense is hol-
low. So far he has not Investigated
at all. He seems to be holding a
hearing on the subject Of birth con-
troll. What the Mayors Office has to
do with that is hard to understand.
The matter of birth control is one
for the Legislature to consider if it
must be considered.
Very few of the people of this city
are interested in birth control dis
cussions. But all of the people who
still hope that some shreds of their
freedom will withstand czaristic
attacks are interested in the preser-
walton Of their constitutional rights.
Every citizen" says the Constitu-
tion of New York State, may freely
speak, write and publish his senti-
ments on all subjects, being respon-
sible for the abuse of that right"
Agents of the Hylan administra-
ton boldly and in the most tyranni-
cal manner violated that clause of the
Constitution. The Mayor was asked
to look into the violation. 1t was
assumed that he would expose the
men guilty of instigating and carry
ing out the shameful act.
This is no complicated issue. 1t is
one which any just tribunal could sift
in a single day. The names of the
police clique and their victims are
known. The guilt of the police, al
ready established in the Magistrates
courts, could be established again in
five minutes. Then the Investigator
could seek to discover the motive for
the muzzling of citizens.
But HIRsHFIELD is doing over again
what the police clique did in the fake
investigation that was held at Police
Headquarters. He is throwing up a
smoke screen behind which the guilty
may escape.
But the trick can't be done! If
HYLAN and his HRsHFIELD will not
be honest then there is the Grand
Jury. If the Grand Jury will not act
to preserve the Constitutional rights
of the people then there is the Gov
ernor with his power to remove city
officials guilty of misconduct.

Taxing Public Utilities.
Senator Davenport's Analysis OF a
Difficult and Pressing Problem.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD As a
disinterested citizen who mas devoted
some time to the study of taxation 1
protest against the proposal of the Dav-
enport Committee on Taxation and Re-
trenchment that the franchise tax on
public utility corporations be repealed.
The repeal of this tax would mean
unfair discrimination among corpora
tions of various kinds and a still more
unfair discrimination between individ-
uals and a special class of corporations.
The methods of taxation now en-
Moved by the State of New York, in so far
as income is concerned. are (a) taxa
ton of personal incomes, OBJ taxation
OF corporations by means of the fran
chise tax.
1t can readily be seen that the elm
ination of the franchise tax on public
utilities corporations would put an un-
fair disadvantage on corporations other
than public utility corporations and on
individuals. If any class Is to be Ia
vored IL certainly should be individuals
and not corporations, for corporations
enjoy through the consent of the State
privileges denied to individuals. The
privilege of limited liability of corpo-
rations is certainly worth paying for.
As among corporations themselves the
nublic service corporation ought to be
asked to pay n greater tax than the
ordinary corporation. in view of the fact
that its entire income arises from the
franchise given TO 1t by the State or the
monopoly 1t enjoys with the consent OF
the State.
1t may be more fair to tax public
service corporations on the basis OF net
income instead of gross earnings; but
to eliminate the tax entirely would make
IL unfair to the State and the rest OF
the taxpaylng public.

W0LF-FERRARI OPERA HEARD.
Chicago Company Sings "Thc jew
els OF the Madonna"

Wolf-Ferrari's "The Jewels OF the
Madonna" was given by the Chicago
opera Company at the Manhattan last
evening. The work has been in the
repertoiy for over ten years and was
sung here last season. 1t Is an opera
which has succeeded in retaining place
on the stage in spite OF the fact that
many devout persons have found its
motive offensive. 1t has n tragic story
and considerable very good music. 1t is
well filled with action and has the nec-
essary stage pictures crowded with fig
ures. But it has never been accorded a
high rank among the creations of the
modern lyric theatre of Italy.
Those who heard the opera for the
first time last evening obtained some
what vague idea OF Its real quality.
There was merit in the performance, but
too great a measure of II was confined
to the work of the chorus and the minor
singers.
Nine. Rosa Reisa was as vigorous
Taiieud. and the splendid character of
her voice was we'll suited to the music.
But she seemed to be much more inter-
csted in the audience that in the unfor-
tunate Gcnndro.
Sho could hardly be blanci. for For
rest Lamont was hard and unylelding
hero, who robbed the Mddonna In cold
blood and repented at leisure. Mr.. Rim
ini was q bold. bad Rafael and sang his
music in the manner which no has made
familith to this public. Nine. Claessens
was tolerablc as Cdrmeld. Mr.. Cimini

The Old Way Compared With
the New.

You have the tale of the Oregon Trai
| How they Travelled in oxen carts.
| OF the hardships and trials of the lonl
weary miles
That sore tried the bravest hearts
But now you can go in day or so
Over those same long miles,
With an auto instead of bull ahead
The hardshps bring but smiles.
You have heard, no doubt, the ole
shout
Of the old shot gun and rifle;
How they killed the game that was SO
tame
That the hunting was but trifle,
But the game of today in every way
Are wilder ad more knowing,
So high-powered guns are the only
ones
That can hope to make a showing
Black powder and smoke today is a
joke,
And smokeless is fast improving;
The regular she'll does very well,
But the new ones are faster moving
If you want to get hep to the modern
step
See the new shells Mays Brothers
are showing
They are right up to date, powder and
shot the right weight,
When you shoot them you know
where they are going
Oh, the Sport Shop is the place to get
into the race
For the very best goods are kept in
it,
And Mays makes it point to keep
the Old Joint
In every way up to the minute.
