Problems to Be Met
The Free State, once it has put
down rebellion, will have enough
other serious problems on its hands
In the main they are the same prob
lens that all Europe is tackling.
Finances: Many, reading about
fighting, doubtlessly think the govern
ment has a hard time getting money
As a matter Of fact, it has done splen.
didly.
Between April 1 of last year and
the 10th of February this year-date
of the last report issued-the govern
ment collected nearly $4,000, 600
OF this, more than $4,000, 900 was
from income taxes, S70.000,000 from
tobacco, liquor and similar taxes. On
February 10 there was a balance OF
SO, 400, 900 in the treasury.
However, the government is facing
deficit for the reason that it is
maintaining an army of 10000 men.
just as soon as peace is secured, this
army will be greatly reduced. Mean
while money needed to overcome this
deficit will in all probability be raised
by an internal loan.
Unemployment: The last report on
unemployment in the Free State
showed 3S,007 out of work, as COM
pared with 81 ,976 in the same period
last year. OF these, S0,406 were men
and TOOL were women.
Dublin, the metropolis, has the
largest number, Hiss: Cork has
6510: Limerick 1892; Waterford 1917
and Wexford I'LL.
Many Of these are drawing unem-
ployment doles from the government
similar to the practice in England.
Strikes to Be Settled.
Strikes: Recently more than 30
flour mills were closed by the strike
of 1900 employees who refused to &C.
cept big cuts in wages. The lockers
in Cork Just recently came off a
strike. Trouble is looming again In
the railway world because some of the
roads are unwilling at present to agree
to wage adjustment boards.
In many isolated country districts,
when their wage and hour demands
are not conceded, farm laborers have
adopted the policy of burning corn
and hay ricks.
Property Destruction: 1t is esti-
mated that upward of 100000, 900
worth of property has been destroyed
and the losers will look to the state
to reimburse them. The state in turn
will have to look to the taxpayers 10
raised the money. Therefore, Dali
Eireann at present Is considering a
bill to limit the responsibility of the
state.
The burnings have been a fertile
source of fraud.
As one cabinet minister humorous
" said to me, every time newspaper
clipping pinned TO a wall is burned,
the state is pounced on with a claim
for the destruction Of an "old mas
ter"
The irregulars at first confined
themselves to blowing up bridges and
destroying turnpikes. Next they at
tackled railway property. Latterly
they have burned down property be-
longing to Free State officers, mem
bers of the Dali, prominent govern
ment supporters or their near rela-
tives.
As a result all ireland is studded
with wreckage.

A DAY IN DUBLIN.
IT'S Tragic But It's the Tragedy Of
Any Largo City.
Dublin, March 17.-Boom!

Dublin, March 17.-Boom!
It's the blast of high explosives.
A few minutes later congenial
official enters the office Of the Free
State cabinet minister with whom ]
am .conversing.
Maybe you heard the explosion,
sir!" he says. 81 just wanted to tell
You that they have blown up Paddy
Mahon's printing works"
Ones first impression after this
beginning Of sunny day is that
tragic Dublin is still tragic. But
tragic" would not accurately de-
scribe the capital of the new Free
State today.
The situation is two-sided:
Throngs of pretty, well-dressed
young women shopping in fashion
able Grafton street: gaunt, timorous
women following you a block on
Suffolk street, begging a penny.
Young squireens in from the coun-
try on perfectly groomed horses and
themselves in perfectly tailored
clothes; newsboys walking the ice
cold pavements in bare feet.
A handsome new department store
opening its doors on wide O'Connell
street; stones throw away n whole
block of artillery-smashed and fire.
twisted wreckage of hotels and bust
ness houses.
A committee meeting to hear re-
ports of damage wrought to farm
houses by torch piled by IrYegvlars;
another commission meeting to con-
slider how to improve Ireland's canal
system.
Stern suppression Of British news
papers which print Irregular propa-
ganda; walls of public buildings de-
faced by defiant sentences painted
there at night by daring bands of
young women opposed to the Irish
Free State.
People complaining about the high
cost of bread: others about how
dear violets are.
Employment exchanges crowded
with men and women seeking jobs;
fashionable hotels and restaurants
crowded with men and women drink
ing tea and eating fancy cakes.
Despair Takes Hold.
II seems a mad world, but in es-
sence is the same as New York or
Cleveland or Los Angeles or any
other city. There are the same con-
trasts of rich and poor, of the COM
Portable and the comfortless. the
law-abiding and the lawless, of good
and evil.
Still there is in Dublin, and in
much of southern ireland as we'll,
something like black despair-ex-
cept in the cabinet: where optimism
rules!
People are wondering whether the
country will ever settle down to the
peace and quiet they all want so
eagerly.
Every day they read in their pa
pers the same tragic list of events:
fine country house has been
burned, a farmer has lost his crops
by the torch, a shopkeeper has been
shot while resisting armed bands,
railway train out of Cork has been
destroyed by Irregulars.
There is probably not a person in
the Free State who hasn't had
kinsman affected by this kind of
warfare.
But pull long faces? Not the Irish
Everybody is trying to "carry on"
as usual. But there is slowing
down everywhere.
A good Indication Of general eco
nomic conditions is the report of the
Dublin United Tramway company.
For the year just ended it showed a
deficit. Bad business, unemploy-
ment, and the fighting of last June
account for this.

merger only can a cure be effected
Proposals for such a merger have
been made. but without success. 1t
Is surely not desirable to adopt terms
OF compulsory merger that entail a
heavy loss upon the present owners
OF either company. whatever may
have been the mistakes Of financing
In the past on either side.
Nor Is it desirable by an arbitrary
rate reduction to bring the fare to the
point of absolute loss for one of the
companies and force it through such
loss into receivership.
Public ownership has been proposed
as remedy for this bad condition.
Probably the Senate select committee
will consider such a measure But it
will be forced to face the fact that
public ownership means purchase and
upon equitable terms, which are based
upon fair valuation Of properties and
rights which cannot be ignored. even
through the exercise of the right of
eminent domain by condemnation. A
municipal merger of the two systems
in such circumstances might permit
lower fares, but it must not be for
gotten that the cost of purchase must
be paid by the community and the
interest on that purchase means taxes,
which may be considered as street rail-
way fare in another form.
1t will be a relief, however, to have
this whole question fully and fairly
examined by d legislative committee
to the end of a settlement of any
doubt there may be on the score of
the fares, and possibly to the end of
Fastening a solution through the ANAL
gamation of the two systems into one,
which is to be desired from every
point of view. of convenience. of serv
ice and of economy.

Coal.

1t is good news which the Public
Utilities Commission gives out. that
on February Washington had 5000
tons of anthracite above its so per cent
allotment. No figures are available
as to the coal situation today, but
there is belief that we are still
ahead on anthracite and there is a
growing feeling of safety because
spring cannot be far away and
then we shall be free of furnace and
fuel troubles till the leaves begin to
fall. Though this has been an ex-
ceedingly genial and gentle winter. it
has been a winter of discomfort. In
fuenZa and fuel troubles have beset
us. The usual kind of coal was hard to
get and at least four times out Of ten
could not be had at all. 1t has been
necessary to feed the furnace with a
''substitute.' or a coal for which the
furnace seemed to have no appetite
or too great an appetite. There have
been many perplexities. Also, in
stead Of getting the winter supply in
one lot, most persons have been able
to get only one ton at q time and
it has often required a good deal of
diplomacy and hustling to get that
before the furnace went on strike
But let us be of good cheer and hope
that our troubles are nearing the end
and that the furnace can be kept go.

Fewer Accidents.

A decline in street accidents is
noted in the first annual report Of
the Washington Safety Council. The
council takes credit for the improved
situation and there can be no doubt
in the minds of persons who have
followed the matter that a very large
share Of the credit for better accident
body Of public-spirited citizens. The
council. by its safety propaganda and
its intensive campaign during Safety
week. has reached great numbers of
people and has put over" the thought
10 them that there are no unavoidable
accidents. During the week just
passed there were fifteen hospital
cases day due to street accidents,
against thirty-five a day for the cor
responding week last year. This is
keeping the thoughts of watchfulness
and caution before people the down.
ward slope in accident figures can be
maintained until a very low rate Is
reached. The rate is still far too high,
but we are headed in the right direc-
ton. Pedestrians are still the greater
sufferers from accident in the streets
and too great emphasis cannot be laid
on careful walking. Long before the
streets of Washington became traffic
burdened it was not uncommon for
persons to be knocked down by q
horse car or a horse and buggy. The
evil Of reckless motoring is with US,
street, and if pedestrians would keep
out Of the street between crossings
and would exercise prudence at the
crossings the list of accidents would
be very much shorter.
