ACTING on this proposition, SenA-
tor Frelinghuysen, = Republican
Of New Jersey. proposes to develop
the idea Of tariff commission in =
bill which he has prepared and will
introduce. Since the commission 10
net awaited Of by congress rs = vital
aid In framing schedules, he offers by
his bill to turn the matter over COM
pleteiy to tariff commission, on the
plan ef the interstate commerce COM
mission, and empowered to regulate
tariff rates as that commission reg
ulates railroad charges. The idea is
revolutionary, but has been the prac-
tice Of most important governments
for many years. There is no other
great government in the world that
Axes tariff duties as they are fixed in
the United States. The tariff in these
countries is a business and economic
matter and party politics has little
ordinarily to do with it. To take the
tariff out of pei:tics would give the
country more equitable tariff duties
and business greater certainty. Incl
dentally it would simplify political
campaigns TO the voter, and te some
extent would take special interests
out of politics.

OF the Conservation Commission'a spe-

Of sportsmen for illegally killing a deer
Information reached the Conservation
Commission In January that deer had
been killed In Sullivan county regardless

season, and one of the commissions s
special agents was detailed to investi-
gate.
This search took him all over the pre-
serve of hunting club In one of the
remote parts OF the county. What had
taken place on the clubs land was a
matter OF surmise until In his search
the agent unearthed the skin of doe
which had been buried.
With the skin as evidence that the
law had been violated the agent sought
out the members OF the club who had
shot on the land during the season and
continued his search until he was salts

Their denial was followed by the in

VICE STILL Is FOUND
IN 'CLEANEST CITY
Committee of Fourteen Sees
Big Improvement, but Cases
Show Increase.
OPEN VIOLATIONS ENDED
Public Sounded on Proposal to
Penalize Men Who Are in
Buying Class.

New York Is the cleanest OF tho
worlds Cities
This emphatic statement occurs at the
outset of the annual report Of the Com
mittee of Fourteen which was organized
in 1905 to suppress the Raines law ho-
tells and whose vice censorship was
broadened in 1912 to include all forms
of commercalized vice.
In the foreword OF the report for 1919
1920 1t was stated: New York has less
open vice than any Of the worlds lar
gest cities" This statement has been
used in the last year. the committee
points out, In such a way as to give the
impression that the committee stated
that vice no longer existed In New York.
and 1t has been asserted that the sup
preston has been an accomplishment OF
the present municipal administration.
The committee denies this. although 1t
states that the present administration
has prevented reversion to former
vicious conditions.
UNFORTUNATELY" the report states.
Fvice does still exist and can be sup
pressed only by continual vigilance and
police activity. Open, officially tolerated
vice has not existed in New York for
many years. This does not mean that
vice has been entirely suppressed or
even entirely repressed or that officials
have always vigorously proceeded against
all resorts or persons to which exceD-
tion might properly be taken. Cases In
the Womens Court show considerable
amount of vice. In 1921 the cases num-
bered more than 1868, an increase ~
81 per cent, as compared with 1920.
Many more cases might have been 80
cured by the police had they been sup
| piled with more abundant funds"
| Bellmen in hotels and walters In ho-
| tells and restaurants are specified as
elements which continue to promote
vice.
| Ths question submitted to the public
by the Committee of Fourteen Is whether
the committee should seek the legislative
adoption Of an amendment which will
make it an offense for a man to buy In
the vice market. On this question the
| committee offers the following comment
| This step Is probably In advance ot
| general public opinion of to-day, but so,
| too, were the efforts to suppress open
vice when taken ten years ago. 1t Il
| the duty of q committee such as the
Fourteen to lead public opinion by urs-
| ing the enactment Of more effective laws
| for the accomplishment OF It's mission
| and to secure their effective enforce
ment. Nothing Is so detrimental to the
| development of respect for the law as
the placing Of statutes In the code that
will not be obeyed 1t Is therefore the
duty of an organization whose objec:
| Is the enforcement of law to proceed
slowly where its activities might tend tc
| defeat its own purpose"
