Greed for Graft

In carrying his fight for re-elec-
ticn into New York City Governor
Miller wisely makes transit the
issue. He shows, beyond dispute,
that the five-cent fare was destroyed
by Democratic commissioners APP
pointed by and acting on the orders
Of his opponent, then Governor, and
that it was restored by the biparti-
san Transit Commission appointed
Ky himself.
s Quoting Mr.. Smiths promise if
elected to do his utmost to repeal the
law which created the commission,
the Governor explains exactly what
1t has done to give the citizens of
New York the transit facilities they
lave needed for five years and more.
In his speech in the Bronx Tuesday
night he said:
"Do the people Of this town want
the 10000 employees of the transit
system turned over for exploitation
either by the Mayor or Tammany
Hall or to an unhoiy combination of
the two, making the whole transit
system part and parcel of political
machine?
"Four years Of destruction, two of
them under Governor Smiths Transit
Commission, destroyed the fve-cent
fare and in it's place substituted
double and treble fares. A year and
six months of the Transit Commits
sion saved the fve-ceat fare"
). In the light of what the Governor
says it is clear why Tammany is
working day and night in an effort
TO save Smith. Tammany has tasted
transit graft. The bus lines, incon-
siderable link in the system as
they are, have provided Tammany
men with rich pickings. What
would happen if Smith could break
down the work of the Transit Com
mission and turn the operation Of
the vast properties to Tammany can
readily be imagined.
With no commission on guard, the
Lillion-dollar Hylan plan could be
put into operation, lines parceled
among Tammany contractors as
soon as recaptured and faithful
service to Tammany Hall made a
condition before contract could be
given out or single job allotted to
the most poorly paid employee of the
system.
Beyond q doubt Smith, if elect
cd, will keep his promise to do his
utmost to abolish the Transit Com
mission. If he cannot abolish it he
will be able, through his power as
Governor, so to hamper its work
that the only workable plan to ex-
tend and unity the lines will be ut
terly destroyed.
It is for this that Tammany wants
him elected. It's eyes are on the
transit system, and have been since
new building became necessary and
aisw contracts promised rich possi-
hiiities.
sTammany cares nothing for five
cent fares or for adequate facilities
gy for the development Of outlying
districts. What Tammany wants is
contracts for its plutocratic mem
bers and jobs for its ward workers.
Give it the transit system, and it will
have abundance of both. Elect
Smith, and it viii get the transit sys-
tenn in SO far as Smith has it in his
power to act.

The Dignity of the Senate

Time must be hanging heavily on the senate Of
the United States when so much of it is thrown
away upon events which have passed beyond recall
and correction such the Newberry case. And then
too was the complaint uttered with peevishness
on Thursday against the war department for the
Slight which the senate has discovered put upon
its dignity in its assignment to inferior place in
the ceremonies attending the burial of the Unknown
Soldier. Real dignity, the senators should
ber is easily offended It cannot be offended at
all except by the holder and certainly the dig
nifty of senator ought to be proof against assaults
upon it by mere bureau chiefs and department
clerks" who, as Senator Stanley of Kentucky said
in his complain to the senators, made the senators
"go way back and sit down" Said Massinger
"True dignity is never gained by place
And lost when honors withdrawn"
In connection with the Unknown Soldier, the
senate should remember that there is something
more imminent than the Unknown Soldier who lies
at Arlington There unknown soldiers whom
have buried not in hallowed ground but in forget
fulness
There are unknown soldiers trampng the streets
looking for employment There other unknown
soldiers trying attract the attention Of the govern
ment to their sore needs. There is lying in a morgue
in Phoenix an unknown soldieS who found his pistol
frendier than his government. There thousands
of unknown soldiers in resentment because their
countrymen are inclined to regard them as undeserv-
ing paupers and speak Of adjusted compensation
bonus, a gift argess which the government can
afford this time to bestow without adversely
affecting business.
The Unknown Soldier at Arlington has been
cared for. The patriotic sentiment OF the nation
has been layished him. 1t cost nothing to Law
ish it. The ceremonies were expensive. it is true
but take little thought of expense for ceremonies
Anyway the position of that Unknown Soldier is
cure and cannot be disturbed.

Rates and Earnings

The Association OF Railway Executives is carry
ing on a campaign to prove the public that railway
earnings are too great. We believe that is not
a matter OF dispute. The railroads claim that they
earning less than the 5h per cent which is al
lowed them and that is probably true The net oper
ating income for 1921 was about 600 which is
not excessive The purpose OF the railroads
to be to prove that their rates too high But
earnings are not wholly dependent upon rates They
are less dependant upon rates than upon the volume
Of business at a fairly profitable rate
The railroads themselves recognized this in their
application to waive the long and short haul clause
Of the interstate commerce act by which they could
reduce their rates to Pacific coast points on west
bound traffic. They wanted more business and the
lower rates which they wanted put in to get the
business from the steamships must have been re-
garded as remuneratve
At the same time their rates on internal traffic
were SO high that the traffic could not For in
stance, under the increase of August 1920 the rates
were SO high that hay could not move from Arizona
points and at the hearing year la er it was shown
that the movement Of hay the rate before the in
crease would have yielded the roads $175ooo Not
only did they lose that but they discouraged hay
growers against the production of hay the next sea-
son
We have seen also that the rates on coal and
corn were so high that coal could not move into
some Of the northern growing states and corn
could not move out OF them. SO the corn was used
by the people of those states for fuel Thus the
roads lost the freight on both and coal.
1t is the contention OF the roads though that the
high rates the Of the heavy falling off
in business which they is due simply to the in
ability Of the entire world to readjust itself after
the catastrophe of the No doubt some lines OF
business have awaited readiustment, but we know
shat movements OF hay, corn and agricultural pro-
ducts generally are held up only by high rates.
we have also excessive rate on cement from
Ell Paso and California points. If the rate at which
most OF the moved had been put in before our
county highway contract entered into it is possi-
bic and quite probable that no cement would have
moved and the roads would have lost million dol
lars of business
The fact is that while the earnings Of the roads
may admitted to be not too high, the rates lie like
A blanket on the country. II the roads should make
the experiment of raising the blanket traffic might
increase in volume sufficiently to be remunerative
A rate so high as to prevent movement produces
no revenue.

General eo..hals and tn. ssaway

While we think that General Goetnals is too big
a man to be influenced by small or jealous motives
there may be foundation for the supposition Of
President Gardner of the Great Lakes-st. Lawrence
Tidewater Association that General Goethas is pref
udiced in his criticism Of the plan open the Great
Lakes to direct oceanic traffic
General Goethals is in charge of the Port of
New York' plan, development which would become
unnecessary in the event of ST. Lawrence seaway.
The Port of New York" project involves extern
sion of Manhattan from its present southern terminus
the Narrows, about six miles adding about six
square miles to the island and embracing both Gov
ernor's and Bedloe's Islands adding something more
than twelve miles for docking facilities The plan
also includes half dozen tunnels connecting with
Brooklyn and the Jersey coast
How much Of the foreign traffic originating in
the Great Lakes contributes TO the traffic OF New
York do not know. but it must be stupendous
volume since total Great Lakes port traffic
ceeds that of New York. That of would be
withdrawn.
In these circumstances General Goethals would
be something more than human If he did not share
with the average New Yorker some prejudice against
the Seaway scheme which would reduce the import
ance of New York as a port

Sidney, in article entitled THE Homing Instincts
OF the Hoptoad' in the American Angler tells OF a
toad which has lived in his garden at Wakefield,
Mass for ten years Recently Mr.. Sidney tagged
this toad with his initials and. placing it in box,
took 1t with him to Boston on the 1880 p train
from Wakefield and then to Charlestown mile
out from Boston where at the foot OF the Perkins
street foot-bridge, he set it free. The toad, Mr..
Sidney says bnked at the glare Of the lights for
few seconds, darted out his tongue and caught
mosquito two, then turned sharply about and
headed for Wakefield, taking long jumps the home
ward way. Mr.. Sidney following him for about
hundred yards, the toad going straight ahead with
out hesitation Mr. Sidney left Boston the next NOR

dragging tag behind him. Without any apparent
ill effects, the toad had hoped ten miles from
Charlestown to Wakefield.
