REFUSES TO ENJOIN
BUS LINE IN QUEENS
Justice Fawcett Upolds Con-
tention of City That There
Is an Emergency.

Justice Lewis Fawcett in the Supreme
Court In Long Island City denied yes
terday the motion of receivers for the
Steinway trolley line for an injunction
restraining the city from operating a
municipal bus line in Grand avenue,
Long Island City.
The court held that an emergency
exists which justifies the operation Of
the line In the interest of public con-
venience. and that the buses do not
parallel in a competing sense the cars
of the Steinway lines.
When the Transit Commission re-
sumed It's valuations hearings yesterday
the Eighth Avenue (surface) Railroad
Company set up a valuation of It's prop
critics at $s.ss2.159 against that recon-
mended by the commissions bureau of
valuations experts. which Is S1,350.005.
The company's valuation is computed on
| basis Of cost to reproduce new, less
depreciation. at 1919 prices.
The commissions tentative appraisal.
| on the other hand, covers only property
used in operation on the basis of orig
| inal cost, less cost to put in first class
| condition" On a reproduction basis at
1921 cost prices the commissions en-
! gineers reached an estimated vale of
| $3.732,226.
The Ninth Avenue Surface Railroad
Company similarly appraised its prop
critics at s6.121,133. as against the COM
missions tentative original cost" figure
of $1.269,470 and it's reproduction at
1921 prices" appraisal of S3,002,249.
Michael Kirkland. counsel for the sur
face lines, explained that the company
valuations were based up appraisals
prepared in 1919 by Stone & Webster.
He added that since the installation of
the one-man cars in Ninth avenue that
line had been saving about $4,000
month After having shown deficits
for the last two years, he said. the
company for the month of May last
had earned a slight operative profit.
The Transit Commission has directed
its engineers to prepare plans for the
additional. entrances to the Wall street
station of the Interborough subway. In
the three years since this station was
opened to traffic it has developed an
annual sale OF tickets in excess of
1000, 900 and probably an equal num-
Der of passengers have used 1t as an
exit. The station. which extends from
Wall to Pine street, was restricted
to an island platform because of the
narrow width Of William street. There
is much congestion there during rush
hours.
The commission announced that II
had awarded to Charles Meads & Co.
at s56,219. a contract to complete the
built-in newsstands in the new SUBJ
ways, and to the Wagner Engineer

Farmers of Nation
Oppose Bonus Raid

Special Dispatch to THE New YosK HERALD.
New York Herald Burcau.
Washington. ID. c.. June 20.
THE claim of politicians in the
American Legion that farmers
of the country are in favor Of
tie bonus Is completely refuted by
hundreds who have written to the
Senators Of their States protesting
against 1t. Such a protest from an
Idaho farmer follows:
"The Idaho farmers are broke, 90
per cent. Of them. If you doubt 1t
see how payments on water irriga-
ton are falling behind. Many can
not pay their local and county
taxes and many more cannot con-
tinue farming because there Is
nothing to keep going on to make
another crop. And in the face of
this situation some of you gentle
men propose greatly to increase
our taxes with bonus bill"
The New York herald., 1922-06-30

presenting developments regarding the
bonus. THE NEW YORK HERALD asked
Mr.. Taylor to outline the position of the
organization he represented. The state
ment follows:
"The American Legion welcomes rhis
opportunity to speak dir ectly to readers
of THE NEW York HERALD because as
the adjusted compensation bill will
shortly become a law 1t believes the
efforts of the minority in opposition
can now be put to more useful service
by preparing to assist veterans In
making wise individual selections of one
of the fvefold options 20 which they will
be entitled under the bill rather than
continue In an opposition which Is USE
less and an optimism which will bring
ultimate disappointment to opponents.
"Success Is in Sight"
THE long battle for justice for our
fighting men Is now practically over.
the success Is In sight. Under these
circumstances more real constructive
good for America can be accomplished
by attempting to aid the veteran rather
than to call hard names. because he
realizes that the financial handicap he
has borne Is an unjust one and declines
to believe otherwise at the request Of
those who stayed at home and prof1ted
by his service.
However opposition has served Its
purpose. 1t Is proper that no great ma
tional issue should arise without voices
being raised in favor and opposition,
and the interchange Of viewpoints on
compensation has clarified the issue and
disclosed motives underlying the con-
flicting attitudes. 1t has served to make
these facts stand out:
nnl
workers and wage earners. favor COM
pensation. This Is shown in every vote
or referendum taken in the individual
States. Their condition in life makes
them understand the privation and
financial difficulties Of the veteran and
because they themselves have suffered
their response Is more sympathetic and
understanding.
"(2) That the bulk OF opposition has
como from those with wealth. whose
hibits Of mind follow affairs financial
rather than affairs human. This oppo-
sition Is not based upon lack of SYM
pathy. but rather love of money. This
Is the class that, as a whole. profited
most from the war financially, and it
fears the bill for compensation may be
laid at its door. If 1t believed the bill
might be footed by another its attitude
might change.
Points to other Nations.
THE Legion believes that compensa-
ton should not have required special
legislation or the close attention Of any
veteran organization. The countries
with which we were associated in the
war all recognize the justice of this
principle, and in none OF them was II
necessary for soldier organization to
stand behind 1t as the Legion has done
In America.
But the whole matter was bungled
here. At the conclusin Of the war the
Government should have Immediately
established general reconstruction pro-
gram to rehabiliate soldiers and busi-
ness. the farmer and labor to aid In re-
turning them all to peace conditions
with a minimum OF economic loss. And
the cost should have been borne by all.
The failure to do this gradually
brought compensation for the fighting
men forward as an issue. although it
has already been recognized in principle

Tells Why Compensation
Is Delayed.
BY LOUIS sEIBoLD.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HEaALp.
New York Herald Bureau
Washington. ID. c.. June 20. !
Politicians in the American Legion
promoting the bonus raid refuse to
admit that public sentiment is crystal
lizing rapidly against the scheme.
Spokesman for the political bosses
Of the Legion continue to predict the
passage by Congress of the McCum-
ber bill and approval by the Presi-
dent. The basis for their confidence
is the same that 1t was four months
ago, when they declared the bonus
bill would be law by April 1.
Vague promises of Senators during
the heat Of political campaign are
regarded by the Legion politicians as
binding, despite the fact that more
than twenty Senators who pledged"
themselves to support the bonus since
have announced their opposition to It,
Combined with a dozen or more
Senators who have consistently op-
posed the bonus, the opposition has
been strong enough to defeat the very
plan supported by the Legion poll
ticians and their Senatorial sympa-
thizers to railroad the McCumber
measure through the Senate.
The bonus bill passed the House 100
days ago tomorrow. Predictions made
by the Legion politicians that the bill
would pass the Senate; that the tariff
would be set aside; that the President
would announce his acceptance of the
bonus measure that 1t would become
law on April 1. May 1 and June have
not been realized
Still Undaunted.
The latest prophecy of the Legion poll
ticians Is that the bill will pass the
Senate with sixty-seven votes in favor Of
it some time during this session" If
this prediction turns out to be correct
it will be primarily because the Presi-
dent completely reverses himself
which is wholly improba ble-and that
Senatorial opposition. which is growing
every day, will be withdrawn
No move was made to further the bonus
bill to-day nor is one likely until some
time next week. despite the pressure
directed on the Senate by the politicians
of the Legion to set aside the tariff.
The Legion politicians refuse to be dis
couraged, as Is manifest from a state
ment prepared by John Thomas Taylor.

committee of the American Legion.

PARISH HEALTH UNIT
MAY BE DISCONTINUED

Owing to the fact that the Police
Jury at it last meeting did not budget
any funds for the maintenance of the
Washington Parish Health Unit, it
will probably result in this important
work coming to a halt. For every
dollar appropriated by the Police Jury
for this department, the government
gives a like amount.
The Washington Parish Health
Unit, under the direction of F. MI
chaei Smith or FranklintOn, has done
some great work and was in position
to do even greater things the coming
year. DR.. Smith said the cooperation
he was receiving from the schools was
remarkable. Inspection of diaries
restaurants and markets throughout
tn eparish has also resulted in great
Improvement in sanitary conditions.

THE PROMIsER OF PUPS.

Il
There are three promises in life which
all men very glibly make,
And one Is fish as yet uncaught. the
seconds game the hunters take,
The third is commonest OF ALTO him
should go the silver cup,
The friendly, smiling. genial man who
gladly promises pup.
The fisherman will promise fish TO all
who chance TO pass his way,
The hunter smiles and says to you: I'll
bring you ducks some lucky day;
But still more liberal is he-for there's
no chance to check him up
The man who turns nobody down but
always promises a pup.
There are three promises men make
which no one thinks to see full
filled;
Upon the pledge Of fish or game we
long ago have ceased to build.
But mean indeed would be the man
with whom you CHANGED to dine
or sup
Who would not crafty your wish ana
gladly promise you pup.
The code of honor calls for strict OBJ
servance of the given word
Yet who would hold this merry three
to pledges made. would be
absurd;
'Twould be indeed a sadder world If
death should ever gather up
This gayest OF philanthropists-t
man who promises a pup.

TRAINING MIND TO THINK.

President Hlbben OF Princeton Uni
versity speaks wisely when he calls
for more education that creates think
ers, less that stuffs minds with facts
which are not used for thinking. He
says that education Is not carrying
grfst TO the mill; 1t is the building OF
the mill itself and the putting Of It In
condition to grind out real thought In
dependent thought to serve as motive
TO belief and action.
In "A way that Is what our live
school men are trying to accomplish.
and It Is not easy, for economy OF time
and money and the necessary uni
form machinery Of our schools work
more readily at imparting facts than
at imparting ability to think about
the facts presented. One great trouble
with us Is that we accumulate an Inn
mense amount OF Information from the
many sources from which information
comes without getting the ability to
see each fact In dts relation TO other
facts.

THE TEACHERS ARE RIGHT.

Sound public sentiment Will sustain
the teachers Of the high school In re-
slsting the demand OF the Board OF
Education that they turn over to the
official custody OF the latter's agent
the funds collected for the purpose OF
aiding in establishing an appropriate
library for the high school. This pur-
pose originated with the teachers.
They formulated the plans and set
them in operation, The money con-
tributed was handed to them. and
they are responsible for It's proper
disposition, not the members OF the
Board OF Education.
1t was unfortunate that the Board
of Education took the stand OF demand
ing custody of this book money. 1t
Is right for the board to have con-
troll OF school funds generally, but
this high school library movement
was a side issue. with which the
board has nothing to do. 1t permitted
Il to be conducted through its earlier
stages without giving It official at
tention and then stepped in after the
work had been successfully started
and demanded custody OF the money
collections.
1t is only natural that the promoters
OF the movement should resent this
interference and hold 1t to be unwar-
ranted. We are sure the contributors
to the fund have no desire to see the
request of the Board of Education
complied with. The money is In the
proper hands and there is no danger
of any misappropriation. The matter
should be allowed to stand as II was.

REOPEN THE SCHOOLS.

Many citizens. at the start, doubted
the wisdom OF the Board OF Health
action In ordering the closing Of the
public schools on account OF the prev
alence of the scarlet fever epidemic,
And with the evil experience OF school
closing for two weeks they are con-
vinced their doubts were well founded.
Physicians and others who are ex-
perienced in the work OF dealing with
epidemics are not IN accord with the
school closing order. In the first
place, they do not believe the epidemic
was sufficiently serious, in extent and
character. 10 warrant such drastic
action. They believed at the first. and
still believe. that a system OF strict
isolation and quarantine, firmly estab-
lished and rigidly maintained, would
have produced just as good-possibly
beter-results, without closing the
schools.
Incalculable injury already has been
done to educational interests by the
drastic move Of closing the schools
and 1t will be difficult matter tc
repair the interruption to the regulai
J course of study that has been brought
about. The schools should be re
opened as soon as possible, certainly
next Monday morning without fail.
Meanwhile. all other measures To-
stamping out the annoying infection
should be employed. If the Board o
Health is in any way hampered b,
insufficient funds, the City Council
should come TO It's relief with an ex
traordinary appropriation. The Coun
ell has full legal authority to TAX
such a move.

THE ALLIED WAR DEBT.

The industrial class OF America
seemed to be the most insistent in the
desire to. have the Allies pay their
debts. but this class was brought back
to reality of the situation when II
learned that II European nations were
forced to pay their debts 1t might re-
suit I'm one of the worst industrial
crises the United States has ever
recorded in It's history. The industrial
class of America has been informed
that the Allies would never be able to
pay their debts with the gold they
have, but that they would be compelled
to pay with their products. which
would swamp" all the American
markets and cause the immediate ar
rest of all local production.
Another element which has con-
ributed greatly towards the change
of public opinion on this matter has
been the evidence that about 80 per
cent OF the money lent to the European n
nations was spent right In this coun-
try for the purchase OF raw materials
of all sorts. which were necessary to
the armies and TO the civil population
of Europe. When tho American In
dustrial classes realized this fact, they
also realized Immediately OF what ad-
vantage industrially and commercially
these European purchases were to
America and what great profits were
reaped from them. When the matter
was looked at from this point of view
the question of cancelling the wal
debts did not seem 50 exaggerated
