COSTS OF CHARITY

TUDGE MARTINS reply to charges Of

5ursement of charity funds, made in Council
by Mr.. Weglein and Mr.. Hall, is temperate,
lucid and enlightening 1t ought TO per.
manently dispose of the unpleasant and
groundlcss rumors which have already re.
acted to interfere seriously with necessary
work of relief in this city.
Z There can be no possible justification for
the declaration by Mr.. Hall that 40 per
cent of the money collected for organized
charities fs required for overhead charges
and upkeep. Judge Martin shows that
overhead charges total about > per cent OF
these funds, and that an effort IL now nfoo.
to make interest on money held in banks
pay such salaries and overhead charges AZ
are necessary - the work of organized
relief.
Misleading assertions damaging to the
organized charities come with poor grace
from the City Council. which continues TO
withhold help asked BY efficient agencies for
many people who are actually in bitter need.

WHO WILL PAY THE BONUS?

"A SUB COMMITTEE of the Ways
"A and Means Committee of the House
has agreed upon nine taxes the
proceeds of which are to be used to pay the
proposed bonus to the soldiers. 1t is est!.

year.
OF this sum. $120, ,OOO, 900 will be levied
on the owners of automobiles in the shape
. Of tax OF one cent a gallon on gasoline
and twenty five cents q horsepower on the
cars
The tax on theatre tickets will be raised
from 10 per cent to 20 per cent, yielding
revenue Of 500. .OOO. 600 This means that
q $3.50 ticket will cost 49,
The parcel-post rates will be increased
10 as to yield $50 ,OOO.0 900.
A tax on real estate transfers and on
sales OF stocks and bonds will yield SB4,-
100000, and taxes on the undivided profits
Of corporations. on cigarettes and smoking
and chewing tobacco will raise the balance.
So the tax will fall on the man who buys
house and the man who buys n bond or Il
share OF stock. and the man who goes to
the theatre, and the man who owns a
motorcnr, and the man who uses tobacco
and the man who sends a package by parcel
post. That is, the taxes will fall this way
il Congress authorizes them.

THE CASE OF MlTTEN

Of the city and the country alike because
Of his unique position in n fight that is

and the men and women employees.

Yet his war-it is nothing lessis in the
interest Of the II 900 transit employees and
the city itself and against those familiar
groups which regard street railway systems
as profit making institutions rather than as

More significant than any other factor in

the employees. These men and women re-
gard Mitten not as the boss alone. but as

volunteered virtually all their savings TO
help him in the present emergency.
What are the Mittcn theories of industrial
management and relationship worth? by
the exercise Of intelligence, by scientific
management and by the sort of humane
concern for the workers OF the system
which eliminated discomfort and made
strikes unnecessary. Mittcn took the sluaid
wreck of the street-car system and made
Of it decent and efficient system.
The =. X. +. used to be a football Of
spectators and politicians and a hotbed of
labor troubles. 1t was strike ridden.
So far as an outside observer may see,
the advocates Of return to hard boiled
methods of management have no substitute
for the Mitten system but the principles
which led in the past to shamefully in
adequate street car service. to declining
stock values and endless labor unrest.
Mitten proved that good will and content"
inent and fair dealing are indispensable in
great modern industries. 1t is unthinkable
that he should lose in n fight which he is
forcing for principle. Certainly he will
not be permitted to lose if the business in.

something is seriously wrong in regions where
miners go On strike and drift into riots,
where calls for Federal troops are raised.

tendencies toward something like civil war

The question before Mr.. Harding is not
whether the treaties ore good or bad. VIII
the august Senate be pleased to be pleased
That Is the riddle to which We have to get
an answer as best we can.
The Senate seemed to be resting well after
the ordeal of listening to voice not Its own.
Mr.. Borah was almost convinced OF the
wisdom of the treaties drawn to limit arma-
ment and the possibilities Of war in the
Pacific. lie would vote for ratification, he
said, ''if it can be shown that We will not
be ratified into any entangling agreements
with other Powers" That sounds ominous
You cannot enter into any agreement Of any
sort with anybody without becoming some

honor and pledged word.
Senator Hitchcock, who was the spokes.
man for President Wilson and the League
of Nations, was reported to be depressed
and in some pain. He said he was more
suspicious Of the disarmament treaties now
than he was before Mr.. Harding's appeal.
Mr.. Hitchcock is still viewed as the moral
and intellectual leader Of the Democratic
minority in the Senate. Where he goes
the others OF his party doubtless will fol-
low. His gods will be their gods and his
people will be their people. and where his
spirit lodges the spirits Of all the Demo-
cratic Senators will lodge when the time
for the ratification vote arrives.
The Republicans will succeed in having
the disarmament treaties ratified. But 1t
appears now that there will be some pretty
loud speeding before the thing Is done. It
isn't senatorial reason that stands in The
way Of such work toward a better internn-
tional way of life. 1t is senatorial pride.
That was clearly revealed in Mr.. Wilson's
day.
The Senate has come to feel that It is
the mind Of the Government and that the
President is a sort of assistant to it. 1t
grows more sensitive and more Jealous Of
It's old and new prerogatives as tho years
pass.
Permit the Senate to feel that it is
cleverer than you are and that you have
been inspired by its godlke wisdom, and
you will be fairly happy President Of the
United States. Venture to suggest that you
have flashes Of wisdom better than the
Sennte's wisdom and an ability to feel more
deeply and see further than the Senate can
see. and your days in the White House
Will be filed with sorrow.

with his international treaties than Mr..
Wilson was because he knows his Senate
