Paying Outsiders Fares

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Slr: In your editorial this morning
on the transit situation you say the
people pay 2 or 3 cents above the B.
cent fare by way of taxes. Do YOU forget
that thousands, perhaps hundreds
of thousands, who use the subway. ETC.,
every day do not pay cent of taxes in
New York City or state? In other
words, | as taxpayer in New York
City pay part of every non-taxpayer's
ride. We used to buy an evening paper
Tor l cent; now it is 8 cents-every-
thlng else In proportion. Then why, as
an lnterborough bond holder, | ask.
should the fare be kept at cents? The
companies cannot make money and
New York taxpayers pay for out of
town peoples rides w. C. REED.

A Volunteer Martyr

It is not the newspapers that are
making martyr of the Police Com
missioner. 1t is not the thieves
and highwaymen who carry on their
lucrative callings as calmly as if
there weren't any Police Commits
sioner to worry about. 1t is not his
friend, former Police Commissioner
Mckay, who assures Mr.. Enright
that a pillory is being prepared for
him in the presence of his enemies.
If Mr.. Enright is q martyr at all
he is self-made martyr. If he is
compelled to occupy a pillory it will
be one of his own building. Nobody
is going to take his job away from
him if he attends to it, The Gov
ornor has not threatened to remove
HIM, nor even intimated that he
ought to be removed. unless New
York continues to be an unsafe place
in which to live.
Mr.. Enright is not only sure of
holding Office, at least to the end of
Mr.. Hylan's term, but has an ex-
celient prospect of covering himself
with glory if he will only stop whin-
ing and begin chasing criminals out
Of the city.
For a man of his self-confessed
qualifications and experience this
ought to be easy. He began his
career as policeman. He grew up
IN the New York police force. He
is more familiar with its routine and
its personnel than any other man in
1t. Special knowledge that no civil
Ian can acquire in an ordinary term
OF office was his before he got his
appointment to his present place.
No fair-minded person believes
for minute that the complaints
directed at Mr., Enright are aimed
over his shoulder at Mr.. Hylan.
The idea advanced by Mr.. Mckay
that the whole thing is political
move is preposterous, unless, in
deed, the thieves and robbers and
murderers have been brought to the
city as part of a deeply laid con-
spiracy to get" Mr.. Hylan. That
will hardly seem reasonable, even to
Mr.. Hylan.
1t is perfectly natural for people
to complain when their goods and
chattels are violently wrested from
them. or when their friends and
relatives are shot in their Offices or
on the public streets. Even Mr..
Hylan's friends and well-wishers
would complain under such circum
stances.
All Mr.. Enright has to do to re-
move the fear Of martyrdom is TO
conduct his office efficiently and EN-
ploy the extra help that has been
given him IN the suppression of
crime. We have his own evidence
that he is able and intelligent and
vigilant. Let him use those quail
ties in his business and he will no
longer be g martyr.

No Retrogression

John FL. Bartlett, First Assistant
Postmaster General, makes an un-
convincing plea against extending
the civil service to include "admin-
lstrative officers" There has been,
ne complains, tendency constant
iy to include higher officials, so that
whereas at first the system did not
affect those who received more than
s1,S00 a year it now embraces
many whose salaries are as high as
$4,000.
1t is difficult to sympathize with
Mr.. Bartlett's implication that such
an extension of the civil service en-
dangers administration He speaks
of the menace" of Federal en-
ployees who are constant talebear-
ers to the minority party and men
tions the consequent necessity for
the Administration to surround it
self with persons whom it can trust
with its secrets as we'll as is
funds" He mentions the need of
administrative and executive of
fcers who are enthusiasts for the
-efcrms and policies Of the party in
power. And, finally, he suggests
that the true test of the progress of
the civil service system is not the
extent to which it reaches higher
but the proportion in which
it perfects a just system of han
ding the lower paid servants of the
government.

For Cleaner Snort

Credit is due to the Princeton
Athletic Committee for enforcing
with particular strictness the recu-
lations regarding ineligibility of un-
dergraduates to take part in ath
letics, Eighteen men, including the
captains of the football and baseball
teams, have been placed on the in
eligible list after thorough exam
ination of each particular case.
While detailed reasons for this ac-
ton are lacking, the authorities have
taken pains to explain that in no
case is there any reflection upon anv
of the individuals and that there is
no taint Of professionalism. These
men have, however, unwittinglv
violated the letter of the agreement
made in 1916 by Harvard, Yale and
Princeton, which was designed to
eliminate the possibility of men re-
ceiving financial assistance in COL

ability. However finely drawn the
line that separates violations from
proper procedure, it has been
thought best to err upon the side of
righteousness.
Such action is unpleasant and in
some cases may even seem unneces-
sarily harsh. In fairness to the in
dividuals it should, therefore. be
made plain that in the opinion of
the authorities no stigma attaches
to their exclusion. For the sake Of
better sportsmanship in the univer-
sity it was deemed best to eliminate
them. Their disappointment ana
sacrifice can only be compensated
for by the knowledge that it is in
the interest of cleaner sport.
Princeton's example will doubt
less be followed not only by Har-

that a play had been condemned by the

And did old Reuben see the sights

In some strange, choerless

To find his roll Of money gone?
That also was the case.

Before he's here day
Some dog-faced stranger knocks

And takes his roll away.

70 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; | have Just read your editorial
"Deparking Park Avenue" As use
Park Avenue every day coming to the
city, | have found that the permission
for taXicabs to park along the side Of
this avenue. rather than in the side
streets, has the effect of narrowing
the avenue just the width of one car.
1t would seem to me that the simn]e
regulation of the parking of cars in
connection with Park Avenue would
have more beneficial effect than the re-
moval of the central parkway.

Sir; The practice of generosity at
the expense of others receives now
impetus in the bonus bill.
If those who voted for it are sincere
ly sollcitous for the able bodied dis
charged soldiers, why do they not give
their sympathy material form hv con-
tributlng each, say, $4,000 of his salary ?
This would mean about S1,OOo,OOO an

bonus on to the al,eadv heavily

Falsifying the Balance

The five-power naval limitation
treaty was recently ratified by the
Senate practically without opposi-
ton. Congress had previously re-
quested the President to cali a con-
ference of naval powers for the
purpose of ending competition IN
building. The treaty, which pro-
vided for a naval holiday and linn
tied capital ship tonnage, was ap-
rlauded the world over as a salts
factory adjustment of dangerous
naval rivalries.
But the House of Representatives
is already considering naval ap-
preparation bill which departs wide
~ from the spirit of the naval
treaty. That convention fixed a ra-
ito of naval strength for the five
powers. For the United States,
Great Britain and Japan the figures
were, respectively, 5-5-3. So far as
this country is concerned its naval
policy, as embodied in treaty
framed on our initiative, may be
summed up in the phrase Equality
with the strongest. The Appro-
priations Committee is now trying
to persuade the House to turn its
back on that policy.
Ships are comparatively valueless
without the men to operate them.
Equality with the strongest applies
to personnel, therefore, as well as
10 vessels. The committee doesn't
want to appropriate money for the
support of more than $1,000 men.
How does that strength compare
with the enlisted strength of the
British navy-our equal under the
treaty ratio?
The British navy (excludine
marines) will be reduced by March,
1923, to 88,470 officers and men, Of
whom ALSO will be commissioned
officers and midshipmen. But the
colonial navies have strength in
officers and men of 1889 and one
third Of the British aviation per
sonnel-11, ,969-is also assigned to
the navy. So the British naval en-
listed strength next year (eXcluding
marines) will be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
Japan's enlisted personnel now
stand at 73,252. It will probably
be reduced within the next year to
sWS, 252 At that figure it would ex-
ceed the personnel allowed our navy
by the Appropriations Committee,
although some allowance should be
made for the fact that we have a
Marine Corps, maintained separate
ly, and Japan has none. But on
the basis of Japanese strength our
enlisted strength should be 1880,
including marines. On the basis of
British strength (marines excluded
it should be at least 100000.
The committee is deliberately
disregarding the conditions and i'm
plications Of the Washington settle
ment. 1t is upsetting the interna-
tional naval balance not in favor of
the United States but in favor of
other nations.

A Menace to Oregon.

Oregon will have two income tax
bills and the familiar single tax mea-
sure to vote upon next among the
proposed measures at coming cleo
ton.
The theory of the state income tax
is that by inaugurating this new
form of taxation, property taxes will
be reduced, while the single tax
measure would load all taxes onto
property.
Neither one Of the proposed bills
guarantees" any reduction in taxa
ton. They simply offer new meth
DDS Of taxation. Experience has
proven that any new form of taxa
alton simply means an enlarged tax
bill.
With a state income tax on top Of
property tax, federal income tax,
corporation taxes and other forms of
taxation, what incentive could the
state offer TO the investor to come
and develop industries under dou-
bic system of income taxation?
The measure is an experiment
pure and simple, and the state Of
Oregon will pay dearly at this time
for any measure which it passes that
will retard the inflow of capital to
the state.-The Manufacturer
