A Worth While Congressman

Walter M. Chandler is the senior
Republican member Of Manhattan's
Congress delegation. He is a modest
man, using only four lines in the
Congressional Directory" to tell
about himself. They do not do him
justice, for they do not even hint at
the picturesGueness Of his earlier
struggles to go to Congress or at the
qualities as campaigner which
have given him q hold ON his upper
West Side district.
Mr.. Chandler is that strange COM
bination in politics Of an orator.
recondite lawyer and Woodworking
utility man Congressman. Nobody
IN Washington attends more faith
fu'iy to the routine of nainistering to
MS constituents. II you vote in his
district it is your fault, not his. if
you don't get everything coming to

Broadening the Rent Laws

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The decision Of the Appellate
Term, Second Department, that new
tenants in old buildings are protected
by the rent laws is in direct opposi-
tion to the Appellate Division, First
Department. the latter being higher
court than the former.
! have not Justice Cropsey's Official
decision before me, but If the news
paper reports be correct the con-
clusion arrived at is from implica-
tions as TO what the rent laws should
contain rather than what they actually
contain. The Farnham (Appellate
Division) decision was after the April,
1922, amendments and not before; the
former wipes out the latter and should
have been controlling with the Appel
late Term, Second Department.
1t is our intention to take to the
Court Of Appeals the question Of
whether new tenants in old buildings
are within or without the rent laws.
We hold that they are without them,
and We believe that the Court of APP
peals will agree with US.

Billingsgase Not Argument

II instead Of thinking up epithets
to apply to an able and courageous
investigator Commissioner Whalen
would think up some explanation Of
his position 1t would profit him
more.
Il has been shown by the testi-
raony of those immediately con-
cerned that conditions In the bus
lines. which are under Mr.. Whalen's
supervision, are extremely bad. Tam
many contractors have received per-
mits fer operation, administration
favorites have written the bus in
surance and money has been de-
manded for the privilege Of doing
business in Manhattan.
Mr.. Whalen is new in Office. but
even with his limited experience he
ought to know that foul language
does not avail a man as defense.
He would do we'll to save his bill
lingsgate to handy with his bus
drivers and seek to prepare for the
Transit Commission and the citizens
Of New York whatever facts in de-
fepse of his department he has to
offer.

Back to Health and Safety

AS Budget Director General Lord
is carrying on with dash the splendid
work begun by General Dawes. He
will be able next week to send the
budget book for 1923-24 to President
Harding with balance on the right
side of the ledger. The Director will
inform the President and Congress
that the Federal revenues for 1928
"a will reach ss,l9s, 100000, and
that they will more than cover esti-
mated appropriations. The country
will have descended from the nom
war expenditure peak of the $6,403,-
100000 in 1919-'20 to less than half
that figure next year.
1t is marvellous achievement. and
one that touches the wellbeing of
every man, woman and child in the
United States. President Harding
took into the White House with him
the idea that one Of the fundamen-
tails OF recovery was q pitiless slash
ing OF the governments high scale
OF living costs. Congress had
pledged itself to heroic retrenchment
and, without any aid from the Exec
utive, expenditure for 1920-'21 was
cut from s6,4o3,ooo,0oo to s5,115,-
100000. In 1921-'22, the first year
of the Harding Administration, ac-
tual expenditure fell to $3,373,O0O,-
600, and there was a substantial
Treasury surplus, That was be-
cause some of last years obligations
were carried over into this year.
For 1929 the Treasury has been
expecting deficit Of $69S 1000, 900,
since appropriations were left at the
old level while revenues were re-
duced in the tax revision law OF 1921.
Yet General Lord is constantly en-
forcing economy in the use of this
years appropriations end can al
ready promise that the indicated
deficit Of $69s,ooo,0oo will never ma
terialize.
The cure for all postwar economic
troubles is excess of income over
outgc. The United States, though
Tightening its tax burden, has now
reached this salutary state of equi-
libriun. 1t il q prosaic economic
feat, but one of greater moment than
almost any other feat of postwar
craftsmanship.
New-York tribune., 1922-11-03
Thomas Nelson Page

Few modern American authors
succeeded 30 we'll as Thomas Nelson
Page In fiavoring their writings
with the charm of personality. As
q stylist Page was not supreme, no-
as creator 6f fiction. But as q
genial teller Of tales Of the South
he had few equals. His negro
stories are among The best Of their
kind, and 50 also are some of his
sketches Of plantation scenes.
OF his career in public office there
10 little to be said. He served as
Ambassador to Italy throughout the
war and won the warm affection OF
the Italians. Americas relations
with Italy throughout most of this
period were cordial and unimpor-
tant. His role, therefore, was not
as difficult as that of his namesake
in London. The account that he has
left of these years in consequence
does not compare in interest with
the letters of Walter Page.
But whether as a diplomat or
author Thomas Nelson Page WIS
loved for his personality. 1t shone
through his sketches. 1t pervaded
his conversation. He belonged to
vanishing type-=-the Southern gen
tlenlan of the old Virginian school.
Simple, courteous and kind hearted,
ne delighted in extending his hos
pitality to all comers and never lost
interest in those with whom he Was
thrown in contact. In his youth lie
knew extreme poverty. In middle
age he knew great wealth. Neither
soured nor spoiled him. The old
fashioned ideas Of morality were
good enough for him. He took life
as he found it and wrote of it in a
friendly spirit, which, while perhaps
not, in critical jargon, "deep," made
pleasant reading. 1t had the flavor
of all that was charming in the old
South.
"In Ole Virginia" and "Meh
Lady have permanent place ir
sectional fiction. They have given
Thomas Nelson Page his niche In
American literature.

The Mounting Cost of Hylan

The budget for 1918, the last
year of the Mitchell administration,
was $238,123,759. For 1923 it will
be S353,351,s12. Mr.. Hylan since
he has been elected has increased
the expenses Of the city government
s115,228.053.
Normal increase, due to increas-
ing population, would amount to per-
haps half that amount. But MIR.
Uylan has not been content with
normal increase. He is Tammany
Mayor, and Tam,nany mayors are
always free spenders Of the citizens
money.
If the citizens had got new sub
ways, sufficient school buildings or
improvement in any department of
the public service under Mr.. Hylan
they might swallow the increase
without complaining. But no new
subways have been planned or built,
school buildings are notoriously in
sufficient, and the service OF the
various departments is less efficient
and satisfactory than under Mr.
Mitchell.
Mr.. Hylan's only innovation is the
bus lines. No one but a handful of
Tammany politicians considers them
worth the money they cost.
