New York's Sanitary Districts.

New York has four square miles Of
sanitary districts with over 25O,OOO
population per square mile. The New
York city 1920 census committee, DR..
Walter Laidlow, executive secretary.
has issued the following statement:
"The permanent map for the taking
and tabulating Of the population Of
New York on which the census of 1920
was enumerated has 3427 sanitary dis
trict areas. Sixty-six of these in 1910
whose acreage totaled 2,866 then had
population Of 1885, S,657, an average Of
453 persons per acre. If the whole area
Of New York in 1910 had been popu-
lated as densely as these 1856 acres
the equivalent Of the whole population
OF the United States, and then some,
as in 1910, could have been packed
within the limits of Greater New
Yurk."
This number of persons per acre In
cOngested districts is now reduced to
3O2, the statement adds.

safe to say no staff could have been
selected who were better qualified by
their legal attainments and by their
particular experience and knowledgs
OF the war graft situation.
Never in the history of the Depart
ment OF Justice have the antitrust
laws been so vigorously prosecuted as
during the last Is months. For the
first time Jail sentences were imposed
as punishment for violation of the
Sherman Antitrust Act in the case
OF United States vs.. Alexander Reed,
ct al. The department at this time
has under investigation more than so
cases of alleged violations of the An
Thrust Act and has pending in the
courts rs such cases. Since March
4, 1921, the Attorney Generals Of
fee has won 100 cases in the United
States Supreme Court and lost Al. In
that time it has tried 166 suits in
the various United States Courts and
won 110. The department has been
very successful in defending the gov
ernment in the United States Court
of Claims where litigation has greatly
increased as result of war con-
tracts and tax cases. Twenty suits
were decided in this court on June
IL, in which the Attorney Generals
department appeared for the govern
ment. In these 20 cases the govern
ment sued for the aggregate of s16,-
619,693. The total Of the amounts
allowed was only $533,365.
This, in brief. is an outline of some of
the more important activities of the
Department of Justice since March 4,
1921. An enormous amount of work
has been performed and every branch
Of the judicial service is character
ICED by energy, intelligence and dis
patch. The record of the department
under the present administration not
only reflects great credit upon Attor-
ney General Daugherty and President
Harding, but 1t inspires confidence
and respect of our people everywhere
in the courts and in those in whom
the responsibility and power of ad-
ministering the law is invested. 1t
will remind our people that this is
q government Of laws and not of men.

PLEASED THE "MoNEY BAGS
European Capitalists Listened With
Pleasure to Accounts Of Rookie.
felIer's Stupendous Wealth.

During my stay In London I &C.
cepted an invitation to have luncheon
with Lord Rothschild at his Office, John
Hays Hammond writes in Scribner's.
1t had been my custom, extending over
a period Of many years, to drop in
Informally and have luncheon with
the Rothschilds once or twice during
each of my frequent visits to London.
On these occasions always the most
interesting topic Of conversation was
my estimate Of the wealth Of Rookie
feller and other rich Americans. Lord
Rothschild invariably introduced the
subject and forewarned, was ready
to give him the desired thrill. He
would usually start with some ''piker"
capitalist. whose wealth did not
amount to more than the paltry sum
OF $1OO,OOO,00O, and then worked up
by queries until he reached the Ameri-
can Croesus, John D. Rockefeller. 1t
would be an unpatriotic American who
would belittle the wealth of a COM
patriot at time like this, and after
having modestly admitted, in reply to
Lord Rothschild's question, that Rookie
feller was certainly worth $5OO,OOO,-
600, assuming an air Of ultra .conserva-
tfsm, l would allow him to extort What
was to him delectable fact that Rock
efeller was worth ut least $780,
100000; and when the money bags
around the table stared at me with
an expression of pleased surprise,
but not of doubt, would in subdued
tone convey to them the fact that
in informed financial circles Of Amer
lea the Rockefellers' wealth was esti-
mated at over $1,OO0,OOO,OOO! The in.
ternationalism of the Rothschild fam.
lily, and the utter lack of envy, is
evidenced in the unlnistakable pleas
ure which characterized the reception
Of this titbit Of high finance.

The activities and accomplishments
of the Department of Justice during
the past Is months comprise the most
successful record that department has
made since its establishment. The
largest amount of business in the his
tory of that department has been
transacted for the current year on
less money than was appropriated for
the preceding year.
Averitable avalanche of business was
clogging the dockets in nearly every
United States District Court and new
cases being entered in unprecedented
numbers when Attorney General
Daugherty took charge of the Depart
ment of Justice March 4, 1921. He
found the department disorganized.
1t was necessary to make survey not
only of his own force but of the vari-
GUS cases pending in the several Unit
ed States Courts throughout the coun-
try. This gigantic task was acom-
plished with thoroughness and dis
patch
Early in his incumbency Attorney
General Daugherty began an investiga-
tion of the so-called War Fraud cases.
After he had thoroughly surveyed the
situation and he ard his staff were
ready to proceed he asked for an ap-
preparation of half million dollars to
enable him to employ additional and
competent special attorneys to con-
duct the actual work of grand jury in
vestigation and prosecution. The men
whom he selected for this task are
skilled lawyers: Former Senator
Charles S. Thomas, of Colorado, a
democrat who was conspicuous in the
Senate investigation of the aircraft
scandal; former Congressman c. F.
Reavis, of Nebraska, who was mem
ber Of the House Committe which in
vestigated the expenditures of the
War Department; former Congress
man r. D. MacCullough, of Ohio, also
a member of that Committee, and Mr..
Meier Steinbrink, of New York, who
assisted Charles E. Hughes in the
famous aircraft inquiry of 1918, and
who was also employed as Special
Counsel for the House Committee on
Investigating war expenditures. 1t is

According to report issued by the
U. S. Department of Labor June, 1922.
the retail cost of living was gradually
reduced from March, 1921, to the time
the report was issued. The living costs
in no other nation in the world were
reduced during this same time.
The sum and total of one year of
Harding's administration, so far as i,
affects the working people, has been
the elimination of the problem of un-
employment except in those industries
affected by strikes: reduction of take
paid by the working classes in a sum
aggregating nearly a billion dollars;

According to estimates given out by
the American Federation of Labor at
that time there were between 5000, 900
and 100000 wage-earners out of en-
ployment when the Republican ad-
ministration came into power March
4, 1921. This industrial depression
began early in the summer of 1920.
The immediate problem before the Re.
publican party was the return to nor
NAL conditions.
The underlying cause of industrial
depression was the prostration of agri-
culture brought about by the radical
curtailment of agricultural credits by
the Democratic administration. The
American farmer buys 40 per cen.. of
all manufactured products. His des-
perate circumstances compelled indus.
:ries to curtail production and turn
men into the streets. The Republican
Congress Immediately restored agri-
culture to a healthy condition. The
'armer entered the market again as a
buyer Of manufactured goods. The
'anks of the unemployed began to
decrease.
At the time the coal and railroad
strikes were called there was a great
sr demand for laboring men than there
was supply.
One of the most important contribut.
ng factors to the improvement of the
Unemployment situation was the early
Enactment by the special session of
he Republican Congress of the re.
.trictive immigration law. This was
demanded by the laboring people of
he United States. Its enactment pre-.
'ented the incoming of hundreds of
thousands of immigrants who would
,nly have increased the ranks of the
unemployed and added to the indus.
rial distress. The previous Republi.
an Congress had passed similar law
tut it was vetoed by President Wilson.
The Republican administration came
nto power finding the burden of taxes
cry heavy. The working man had to
ear his share. 1t was essential to
