upon testing the value OF democracy
as a cooperative organization of men

feel our way carefully at such a time,
but we must act constructively, else
there will surely come a dangerous

of mans limit& tons and tendencies,
that we do not take on burdens we

MILLER TRANSIT PLAN
TO GO in EFFORT TO
PUT HYLANS ACROSS
Board of Estimate Prepares
for $6OO,OOO,OOO Pro-
gram.
DEPENDS UPON ALBANY
Some Republicans i'll De-
feat Ready to Get Rid OF
Traction Board.
CR0SSTOWN LINE DOWNED
Craig Says State Scheme Is
Mess and Again Urges That
1t Be Ignored.

An immediate result of the Demo-
cratic election victory will be the
scrapping of Gov. Miller's transit plan
apd the attempted substitution of
Mayor Hylan's s60O,0OoooO scheme for
city owned subway system.
The city administration is so sure
that the Miller Transit Commission is
done for that it will go right ahead
with its own plan without waiting for
Gov. Smith to take office. Comptroller
Craig said as much yesterday after
the Board of Estimate had rejected
the Brooklyn crosstown route pro-
posed by the commission.
The Transit Commission, Mr. Craig
pointed out wants to extend the pres
ent Il. r. T. and Interborough sys-
tens, but the Hylan plan provides
new independent lines and the 're-
capture as soon as possible of parts
of the old lines by the city. The COM
mission wants to have subways pri
vately operated for fifty years; the
soon as possible.
One OF the first things Gov. Smith
has promised to ask the Legislature TO
Go Is TO vote the Transit Commission out
Of office. This requires a two-thirds
vote. Politicians IN touch with Albany
said last night the Republicans will
tumble over themselves voting 10 get
rid of the Transit Commission.
With the commission eliminated the
preliminary work it has accomplished
during the year and half of its ex-
lstenco will be thrown away. Under
Chairman McAneny the commission had
prepared plan for seven new subway
routes to cost $21S. 900. 900.
Yesterday he board turned down the
Brooklyn crosstown plan proposed by
the State. The cost was to be between
si0.000.000 and 100000. 900, and the
route is one of the most needed links OF
the transportation system. The motion
for rejection was made by Mayor Hylan,
in whose $500. 100000 alternative scheme
provision is made for similar i'm
provement.
President Risgelmann of Brooklyn
suggested the commission might revise
its suggestion 10 suit the Mayor.
I'VE don't care whether they do or
not" said the Comptroller. I'VE are
sure the successors OF the commission
will mako a good job OF II. There has
been a total loss of confidence In the
Transit Commission. can see no Use
trying TO revive It by asking II to do
something 1t has made mess OF
already"
80 that the people may know why
We are doing this" the Mayor said, ''r
want to say that the Transit Commission
has been taking UP the transit problem
in a piecemeal fashion and Is trying 10
tic up the city for years TO come. We
are ready to serve the people I'm every
locality In the city with our plan. We
are going 10 until every Democrat in
the city and every honest thinking Re-
publican is with US on that"
The Hylan plan for transit develop
ment was issued last spring. about
month after the Transit Commission had
publisher It's program. The routes fol-
lowed the general lines suggested by the
commission on a more elaborate scale
and also provide for the "recapture" Of
most Of the existing routes.

Sees Dark Outlook.
September. 1920.

september, lS2O.
Things look dark to me politically
The little Wilson Gas disting uished
from the Great Wilson, Is now having
his day. Cox is making manly fight
on behalf OF the Presidents League,
but the Administration is sullen, is
doing nothing. Cox will be defeated
not by those who dislike him but by
those who dislike Wilson and his
group. This seems mighty unjust"
BETHEL, [October %, 1920.1
What a hell of condition the land
is in politically! Cowardice and hy-
pocrisy are slated to win. and make
shift and the cheapest politics Ire to
take possession of national affairs
Better even obstinacy and ego-mania!
Cox, l think. has made gallant fight
He is to be beaten because Wilson is
as unpopular as he once was popular
Oh. il he had been frank as to his
illness, the people would have for
gotten everything. his going to Paris,
his refusal to deal with the mild reser-
vationists-everythin would have been
swept away in a great wave of SYM
pathy. But he could not be frank, he
who talked SO high of faith in the peo-
pie distrusted them; and they will not
be mastered by mystery. So he is SO
much less than a hero that he bears
down his party to defeat.
And after election viii come revolt
in the Republican party. for it is too
many sided for long popularity.
I am sorry to be out Of it all, but
the gods so willed.

Estimate Board Asks Alder
men to Fix $4,000 Pay for
Two Commissioners.
CHARTER LIMIT AVOIDED
New Health and Correction
Appointees May Benefit
From Increases.

The Board of Estimate found a way
yesterday by which It hopes to raise
the salaries of two of Mayor Hylan's
commissioners from $500 to $4,000
a year
1t asked the Board of Aldermen to
of Health and the Commissioner Of
Correction when successors are ap-
pointed to DIR. Royal S. Copeland.
Senator and james A. Hamilton,
Secretary of State-elect.
Section 56 of the City Charter pro-
vides that the Aldermen may author
ize pay increases except that no
change may be made during tenure"
In closed sessions of the Board of
Estimate preceding the adoption of
the 1928 budget the Mayor had pro-
posed a, $500 rise for thirteen depart
ment heads.
The increases were eliminated in the
final budget and the Mayor publicly
expressed regret that deserving city
servants could not be rewarded" He
insisted that the only 1923 salary IN
creases were caused by mandatory
legislation.
1t was suggested yesterday that a
way 70 increase salaries OF the other
commissioners would be to accept their
designations long enough to evade the
during incumbency' wording of char
ter and reappoint them after their pay
had been fixed at $4,000.
When the increase for the health and
corrections commissioners was pro-
posed by Comptroller Craig at board
meeting Borough President Riegelmann
Of Brooklyn protested. Mr.. Hylan
leaned over and whispered TO him and
Riegelmann said:

President Harding has under serious
consideration the probable necessity of
