CITY BONDS AT All PER CENT.

All bonds in the Wall Street mar
ket are selling to yield a lower return
to the buyer than was the case q few
months ago. But at a time when the
first class issues of private corpora
tins are selling to return per cent
or better, and even the Az per cent
war bonds of the United States Gov
ernment are quoted below par, the
City Of New York can attract a
clamorous crowd OF bidders for a $45,-
100000 issue Of Az per cents and dis
pose Of them at price to Yield only
about All per cent. 1t receives a
premium above par of S1,244,700.
This high price is partly due to the
fact that the bonds are exempt from
State and local taxation. Secretary
Mellon and others at Washington want
a constitutional amendment submitted
to the States prohibiting them from
indulging in such a practice, on the
ground that It tends to draw capital
away from private enterprises. Or
may not the reason also be that II
tends to draw capital and money away
from the reach Of a spendthrift Con-
gress and its schemes OF public largess
for favored interests and localities?
But this city's bond sale Of yesterday
will probably not make Mr.. Mellon any

INDIANA TO THE RESCUE.

Mr.. John Golden, adniriug the sue
cess OF those benevolent despots. Ian
dis OF baseball and Hays OF the pic
lures. seems to think that the theatre
business ought to have a single head.
Whether or not the conditions call for
such remedy. the proposal Is inter
esting as showing the pathetic eager
ness with which autocracy Is well
coined as an escape from democratic
chaos. We are beginning TO under
stand the feelings of the much ma
hgned Romans, who, having tried self
government for some five hundred
years, gave it up IN disgust to emit
three loud cheers for Caesar and go
off TO the Circus.
However, as political philosophers
have always told us, the merit OF des-
potism depends on the certain sup
ply OF despots who will be both ef-
ficient and benevolent. Luckily. that
supply is at hand Indiana seems 10
he an unsailing producer Of benign
autocrats, and after next November
there may be some Hoosfer lame ducks
who Will have TO be taken care of If
the Show business wants a car. Indi-
ana can provide plenty Of candidates.
MOST TO our liking Is ex-senator ner-
haps future Senator, Albert Jeremiah
Beveridge. If the forces Of evil tri-
umph next week at the primaries. and
Harry New is sent back to the Sen
ate-or TO the Republican nomination
which may or may not be the game
thing as election this year-Beveridge
will be In line for the next vaca M
czardom. He has the fiery zeal and
the moral fervor that we have learned
to expect in our Masters OF the
Games; and the mere fact that he is
a man OF some literary accomplish
ment should not disqualify him from
dealing with the theatre.
1t is strange turn In the social his

THE ECONOMISTS.

1t is the beauty of the science of
economics that by its use you can
always blame everything on some
thing else. The consumer accuses
the wage-earner for keeping up the
prices; the wage-earner blames the
consumer for not paying him enough
to enable him to buy and thus keep
the wheels of industry turning. One
side blames wages for not coming
down. the other side blames prices
for not going up. Then everybody
blames the pauper labor of Europe,
or the Russians. and when all these
devices are exhausted, index num-
bers are introduced into the discus
sion. Index numbers are like four
dimensional space. Everything Is pos
sible with index numbers. They are
the shock troops OF economic argu-
ment. They pass over the helpless in
Tbattalions. and leave him gasping and
defeated on the field.
1t is with index numbers that Sec
retary Wallace. speaking before the
League Of Women Voters, put the
clincher on his somewhat original
theory that the cost OF living, instead
Of being reduced, should be advanced
until a reduction may be effected in
the wage levels of organized labor.
| The Secretarys thesis, briefly, was
that the cost of living is now 81 per
cent above the 1914 ~level, while la
Dor costs frequently show a much
greater advance. Therefore. organ
lied labor is better off now than 1t
was In 1914. while the salaried man
and small capitalist, such as the
farmer, are the losers. There are
obviously two ways in which to re-
store the 1914 equilibrium. One is
to advance living costs. and with
them the returns OF salaried men
and small capitalists, until labor
costs resume their former relative
position; the other Is to reduce the
cost OF living, together with labor
costs, until the salaried man gets
back into the old position. Mr.. Wal
lace inclines to the former, rather
, than the latter, which has been the
more popular theory.-Baltimore

TO PR0TECTIoNIsrs

High labor costs In the United
States, Q high American standard OF
living, constitute one OF the props
upon which tho theory OF a protective
tariff in this country has always rest
ed. Manufacturers nsking bar
against foreign competition have al
ways defended their plea by statistics

with the ''pauper labor" OF Europe

however, Will put this allegation to a
searching test.
Admittedly, wages are high In the
United States. but to what extent do
they affect tho actual retail selling

Chairman Fordney, -protectionist
OF the House, has been fond OF saying
that labor constitutes ninety per cent
OF the cost of production to the aver
age manufacturer. This assertion Is
as palpably absurd and out date as
the stage coach and tho sailing ves-
sol. Production engineers who know
factory costs declare that labor costs
range from ten to twenty per cent of
the factory selling price--except In
the case OF n few highly finished
products, where labor costs range as
high as fifty per cent Of tho final
wholesale price, but rarely higher.
There Is no Joker" In the care

production engineers. The labor costs
they are talking about include every
thing-not merely the labor In the
factory. but the labor In the field OF

HIS CONSEQUENCE.

ties" The day has passed. the State
News adds. when men OF the Jack

True enough. but we venture to
suggest to the State News that it is
not Bradley's influence upon the poll
tics OF the State. but upon the politics
Of the Republican party that throws
his factional opponents into spasms.
Bradley controls the colored vote Of
upper Kent county. and is reaching
out to control the colored vote of the
entire county. No wonder he may
aspire to control Of the Negro vote of
the entire State. See where he would
be then.
Give Bradley control of the Negro
vote OF Kent county and he would
control the Republican party Of that
county. And the same in Sussex and

THE COST Is MOUNTING.

The budgets submitted TO City
Council, at Thursday nights meeting,
setting forth the amounts estimated
by tho various departments OF the
city administration for current ex-
penses during the next fiscal year, be-
ginning July !, are very interesting.
Also, quite startling.
The total Of these estimates is s2.-
726,7S9. OF this largo total the Board
of Education asks for s1.2lo,O0o for
the public schools.
II does not seem long since the
amount required for city admins
tration, covering all purposes. was
less than a million dollars a year. Now
the estimates total nearly three mil
lion dollars. and It is probable the ap-
preparations will not fall far short
of this amount
No doubt there VIII be need or all
this money for properly conducting
the city administration during the
ensuing fiscal year. But large figures
Of expenditure mean heavy taxes
The lesson. therefore. Is to endeavor &c
introduce both efficiency and economy
IN all branches OF administration, In
order that the best results may be
secured as adequate return for taxes
