Sir: | have read with interest Of
Sunny California" as portrayed by
Daisy" in her letter published by you.
May be SO bold as to congratulate
that good lady upon her ability to run
SO true to the form of all New Workers ?
Has Utopia been discovered? Maybe

Sir Thomas More had California in

"Daisy' that she does not drive about

remarkable system Of good roads in
the country and the comforting feeling
which may be derived from the good
road maps and direction signs kept up
by the Southern California Auto Club.

that the young lady is mistaken when

a West Forty-second Street theater it
was necessary to make detour UP
Broadway to Fifty-seventh Street and
back on Eighth Avenue-a short trip

The Ways and Means Vacancy

Backed by Senator'S Wadsworth
and Calder and the city's Republican
delegation. Representative Ogden l..
Mills, Of the 18th District, is urged
for membership Oh the House Ways
and Means Committee, where Il va
cancy has developed through the dcs-
gnation Of Representative Hough-
ton, Of Corning, to be Ambassador
to Germany.
OF Federal internal revenue taxes
collected during the year ended June
30 last New York paid SIPS, ,472,-
TIA, or nearly onc-fourth of the
country's total. Of the states pay
ments three-fourths were contrib
uted by the city.
In view Of these figures it is not
strange that the city would like to
be represented on the majority side
something it is not-of the COM
mittee which prepares tax bills. Not
why 10 CllC CIty llIclcSlcO III lItlcI-
nal revenue taxes, but its business
establishments in the first instance
pay the greater part Of the customs
taxes, while the city, as the country's
largest manufacturing center, is
vitality concerned in the level of pro-
tcctive rates. Surely these things
furnish solid claims to consideration.
While member Of New York s
Senate Mr.. Mills gained a high rcpu-
tation by his work on taxation prob.
lens. He is one of the country's
most earnest students of all tax
questions. Thus he adds pre- eminent
fitness to the argument Of resi-
dcnce. 1t may be confidently pre-
dicted that he would as a member
Of the committee be controlled by
broad national views.
The only argument heard against
his selection is that he is a new mem
ber. But it has been the practice
Of the House to suspend the lockstep
priority rule in the presence of ex-
ceptional merit.

What the Dyer Bill Does

The House Of Representatives
has passed the Dyer anti-lynching
bill by nearly two-thirds majority.
The only argument openly used by
the opposition was the state rights
argument. The bill was attacked on
the ground that it asserted a Fed
eral power to compel state and
county governments to respect Fed.
eral commitments. This was the Is
sue which the majority had to meet
and was glad to meet.
Through treaties the Federal gov
ernment promises alien residents
equal protection under our laws.
The Fourteenth Amendment for
bids a state ITO deny to any person
within its jurisdiction the equal pro-
lection Of the laws" The national
government has found by Disagree
able experience that it couldn't
always fulfill its treaty guaran-
ties. 1t has had to confess to other
governments that mob violence
within state jurisdictions had de.
prived alien residents of equal pro-
lection under our laws and that
state and local authorities could
not be coercod into making legal
reparation. Similarly, mob violence
has nullitied the Fourteenth Amend
ment guarantees to American citi.
zens. But that notification has sell
dom moved tho Federal government
to apologize TO itself.
There has been a twilight zone Of
impotency and irresponsibility be.
tween Fedora! power and state
power. The Dyer bill wipes that zons
Oft the map. If the state or the
county fails to prevent lynchings its
officials become accountable to the
Federal government. Local CON-
lnunities which tolerate mob lawless-
ness must pay for their Indifference.
Leading citizens" may no longer
take part with irnpunity in "lynch-
ing bees"
If state or local authority suffers
under the anti-lynching act it suf-
ters deservedly. Local non-enforce-
ment of treaty and constitutional
pledges must give way to national
enforcement This is what passage
of the Dyer act means. So under
stood, the state right outcry is with
out point. 1t is an argument for
the Dyer act, not against it.

Ladies First Deadline
To the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l take exception to your edi-
torial in recent issue in re Ladies
First" at the escalator and other
places. When and by whom was
deadline established at Forty-second
Street? There are thousands of busi-
ness women employed above Forty
second Street. Why in the name of mas
euline inconsistency should a man dis
tinguish between business women and
women Of any Of the other classes :?
Occasionally a non-business woman
finds herself below Forty-second Street.
Don't you think that men should be
polite to oil women, even those whom
they meet below Forty second Street,
lest by misadventure they should he
lmpolito to non-business woman?
You say that women admit in argu-
ment the 'deadline." have never
known Of it. In fact, business women
often discuss in amusement the cir
cumstancc that man who would re-
move his hat in their presence UP town,
IN an elevator for instance, would not
do so down town.
Women are in the business world
both from choice and necessity, but not
at all because they are in competition
with men and have laid aside femi
ninity or their desire to be treated cour-
ecously by men. If your contention is
that all women are now on plane
with men and should ask no favors. that
is another matter, but any invidious
comparison between workers and drones
Is gratuitous offense to business
women. G. NJ. G.

Population and Food Supply

Professor Edwin Grant Conklin.
Of Princeton. is reported AS forecast
ing that. if the present rate Of i,nmi-
grafton is maintained, within two
hundred years the United States will
import half Of its food supply. A
prediction which it will take two CEN
turies to fulfill or to disprovc is
pretty safe to make. Many things
will happen in that time, and neither
the maker nor any Of the hearers Of
the prophecy will be here to see
whether it comes true or not. AS a
suggestion, however, that our popu-
lation is outgrowing our food pro-
duction Professor Conklin's remark
deserves attention.
Statistics bearing upon the subject
are available for sixty years preccd-
ing the World War-from 1850 to
1910. That was the period during
which we received our greatest VOL
ume OF immigration and in which we
had the greatest increase of popula-
ton, before the war disturbed con-
dltlons to a degree which makes
statistics for the last dozen wears
UNIT for use ir comparisons. From
the llgures Of che seven decennial
censuses for the years indicated and
those Of othcr official reports it does
not appear that the food supply has
been tagging behind population. but
rather the contrary.
1hus, the Increase in population
from 1850. to 1910 was almost ex-
actly 400 per cent, a rate which we
are scarcely likely to exceed here
after, Immigration or no inmipra-
ton. But greater still was the in
crease in production Of the chief ar
1icies OF food. The production of
corn, which is the greatest of all our
crops, increased in those wears bv
sbout 4s0 per cent. The wheat CROP
the greatest OF all breadstuffs. in
creased by no less than 635 per cent
The number Of cattle, the source of
milk, butter and cheese and the most
important source Of meat, increased
by aoo per cent. The total value of
farm products in only the forty
years from 1870 to 1910 increase sed h,,
asa per cent, or more than the popu-
lation in sixty years.
In view Of these figures Professor
Conkl'n's prophecy seems undulv
pesslmistlc. There should be i'm
provement of our agriculture. 50 as
to have less idle and waste land. and
to have larger yield Of crops to the
acre. But these ends are now being

Egyptian-Born Rooseveltian

To the Edito- of The Tribune.
Sir: AS citizen I express myself
IN favor of the nomination Of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt for the Governor Of

MY friendship with his father. the
late Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest

gave his memorable address at the

vice to the Egyptian Nationalists at
'nat time was to uphold the English,
ana in his firmly expressed opinion
no other form of government was as
good for Egypt as English rule. I
deeply regret that his advice was not
needed. Egypt would be far better of
to-day II it had acted upon the Colo
nel's advice.

Faith in France

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some of us think that England
and the United States seem more intent
on disarming France than they do on
disarmlng Germany. No ono knows
now many airplanes Germany has becn
building in the last three wears nor
now many factories are preparing to
turn out new and more deadly gases for
use in the next war.
Who was right in fearing Germany
IN the years before 1914, France or un-
ready England and America? Wa MIGHT
an OF us be speaking German now but

The Building Wage Level
Demand for Moderate Reduction
Along With Cost Of Living

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The inference to ha der;,,
from reading the news article on tho
building situation in your paper this
morning appears TO be that the nnblic
IS desirous Of continuance of tho
present intolcrable wages in the build
ing industry Mr.. Untermyer has sup-
eesteo that these wages shall be con-
tlnued for another period of two wears.
although they have resulted from vhs
Is alleged to have been an illegal con-
spiracy between the builders and the
workmen.
1t is certain that an agreement was
signed between the Building Trade.
Employers Association and the Build
ing Trades Council providing for a
scale OF SO day for the average
MECHANIC employed in the building in.
d"stry' commencing January |, 1920,
and ending December 81, 1921. It il
also admitted that this agreement had
been in force only a few months he.
fore Mr. Brindell demanded and s.-
cured an increase from the employers
OF 81 day. in order the better to ad-
vance the interests OF the cause for
"hlca ne ID now temporarily residing
in Sing Sing.
Notwithstanding the intolerable rent
ais of which the public complains so
bitterly, and which are largely the re-
suit OF this action Of Brindel. and
notwithstanding the fact that the cost
Of living has fallen about 20 per cent
since this schedule of wages was en-
forced, schedule which was not justi-
ned by the conditions existing at the
time and is less justified now than
then, we are confronted with the pro-
posal that these wages, and the cost Of
building resulting from them, should
be continued at the present prohibitive
figures for further period Of two
years.
In Boston, Philadelphia and other
large centers there has been a mod
crate reduction in wages in the build
ing trades, in harmony with the de-
flation in other lines. There i. an
enormous demand for building in New
York, and large numbers of competent
men, now idle, would be glad to work
at wages 20 per cent less than those
now ruling. 1t does not take much
mentality to realize that the effort Of
the contractors to reduce wages pro-
portionately with the reduced cost If
living is in the public interest, and
that the suggestion of MIR. Untermyer
to keep such wages at their present
level for two years longer is opposed
to the public interest OF course, the
public can continue to be fooled if IL
enjoys the experience.

An Ill-Done Job

There is no occasion to gricve
over the likelihood that the Meyer
investigating committee may soon
be discharged from its duties. The
committee was appe inted to investi.
gate graft and misgovernment in
New YoTl.. 1t cid this very indif-
ferently.
Although there was abundant
material upon which to work, little
effective work WIS done. This was
partly because powcrfu. political in
fuences overpersuaded the commit
tee, partly because of lack Of e.l-
ergy and aIertness among the
members.
Moreover, not only the majority
Of the committee, but its counsel,
New-York tribune., 1922-01-28

may fancy they know more about
these things than he does, but the
fact remains that they can accom-
plish nothing without the aid OF the
Legislature, and the Governor is the
only man who can secure united &C
tion by the legislature.
With his aid they can succeed.
Without it they can only bring about
delay after delay. while the wharves
become clogged with unmovable
freights and people arc forced to
walk for want Of adequate transit
facilities.
Not even political capital can be
made of the present policy of oppo-
sition, for the effect Of further block
ing of traffic will destroy any admin
is.ration which has been party
TO it.
Governor Miller does not mean to
permit the advance of fares, and has
said so. He does not mean to deprive
the people Of New York of the right
to run their own business, and has
so declared. He is interested only in
the good of the city and in the re-
sultant good that will come thereby
to the state.
His record as Governor proves
that he is not to be bu!!ied or backed
