not much longer command the sup
port of American citizenship, fighting
each other on mere politicians issues
in the place of real issues between
them of root and substance.
The old issues that made for party
cleavage in the early days of our
national life have all passed into
history save that of the tariff, which
is now as necessary to the industrial
South as it is to the North. II we
had genuine issues between the DEM
ocratic party and the Republican
party we should have better politics,
better politicians and better states
manship than we have to-day. With
trumped up issues of the parties, the
politicians must play politics to hold
their places, and this means putting
politics ahead of service. We need
more service, more unselfish service
in the halls OF legislation and less
selfish politics, less small politics.

Saving 10000 Lives.
Possibly 1t Might Be Done by Limit.
ing the Speed of Motor Cars.

To THE NEW York HERALD: wish
to offer a suggestion which IL adopted
would undoubtedly save the lives of
thousands of innocent persons every
year.
1t Is stated that $4,000 persons were
killed outright in the United States In
1921 by automobile accidents. The ma
jority of these deaths were caused by
persons driving with reckless and ex-
cessive speed. Penalties for speeding
have been tried and have failed. / pro-
pose. therefore, that speeding should be
made impossible.
This could be easily done and be-
lieye at least 10000 lives a year could
be saved by passing law that no
automobile capable of travelling at a
greater speed than fifteen miles an hour
should be manufactured or sold for use
upon the public roads. Fifteen miles
an hour is faster than a pair of thor
oughbred carriage horses can trot, and
Is quite fast enough for all purposes OF
pleasure. Exceptions might be made
for fire apparatus and possibly for am
balances. BERTRAND SHApwELL.

The City Pays Double.
Home Rule and Municipal Operation
Opposed for That Reason.

To THE NEW York HERALD: 1t seems
almost criminal for political machine
that controls the city government to talk
about home rule. Home rule means that
the political machine will collect taxes
with no limit and will keep both hands
and feet In the public treasury all the
time. This Is equally true whether the
political machine Is controlled by the
Republicans. Tammany or Socialists.
Tho Charter Revision Commission and
the Transit Commission have an oppor-
tunity to put It squarely UP to the people
whether or not they are ready to hand
over, through home rule measures. the
city of New York 10 political ma
chine. The Transit Commission knows
from tho experience OF the Governments
operation OF railroads that municipal
operation OF the city transit lines would
cost twice what It should. The extra
cost would.appear IN extra taxes and the
extra taxes would appear In Increased
rents. The result would be that the
tenant would pay IN Increased rent sew
cral times as much as he would pay for
an increased carfare.

lists means increased rents for the labor

iStS means increased rents Tor the labor
ing man.
While there may be many desirable
amendments to the charter the one para
mount purpose of the revision should be,
70 my mind, the reduction of the expense
OF the city government. Usually q city
is controlled by machine and the re-
suit Is just as bad whether the machine
be Republican or Democratic. The city
treasury is used to perfect the control Of
the machine, and for that reason the city
usually pays double for everything.
] suppose there is no doubt that pri-
vate corporation would be glad to clean
the streets for half what the city pays
and that public accountant concern
would perform all the clerical work Of
the city departments for half what the
city pays. and so on through the other
departments of the city government. The
only way to stop this double expense Is
to provide i'm the city charter for the
utmost publicity for every piece of busi-
ness transacted by the city and every
contract made by the city. The result
might be that non-political contractors
could bid successfully for city work. It
might be made a felony for city de-
partment to interfere with the work of a
contractor by refusing to give permits or
by unreasonable inspection.
1t would seem that some plan might
be worked out which would allow pri-
vate. non-political contractors to do the
work required by the city. perhaps for
onc-half the amount now paid to political
contractors and city employees who will
not work. JOHN M. SHEpD.
