Repeal Means Economy

at the annual conference of senior circuit Judges a

system.
More judges are needed these judges find. Also.
there is need for probation officers to carry out
the humane probation system, as well as congress
sional authority for judges to extend probation in
many cases of minor crimes not now authorized by
law
These recommendations for increased expenditure
may shock some of those who have been emphasizing
the need for economy in government and the reduc-

needs, and look beyond the dollar sign into the use

So long as the nation delays getting rid of prohi-

ing the race for mayor a rip-snort-
ing farce.
The latest names advanced as pos
sible substitutes for Jimmy are those
of Grover Whalen and Samuel Levy,
our borough president.
The only recollection I have of
MIR. Levy concerns his appearance
at a banquet given by the Jewish
Theatrical Guild to James J. Walker.
Dozens of famous actors were wait
ing to do their turns, but when Mr..
Levy rose to make a speech he was
determined that it was going to be
a speech and not few remarks. He
had provided himself with manu-
script which if laid end to end
would have reached from here to
Trenton.
George Jessel was the postmaster
and after the first hour or so he
began to tug at Mr.. Levy's coat
tails. But the orator was not SEN
sitive. When they dragged him out
he was still functioning.

wouldn't be the funniest thing

One Of Herbert Hoover's outstanding weaknesses
has been deficiency in that quality which Smith
possesses in such degree Accustomed through
out his life, up until he became President to executive
work in the ordergivng sense he was unable to adjust
himself to the rough and tumble necessities of getting
results from hostile politicians in congress.
Generally speaking, he was peevish His manner
OF approach antagonzed The frequent stalemates in
his relationship with senate and house were the out
come
Important in this connection, as relating to the
present campaign, is the performance of Franklin D.
Roosevelt in dealing with mis- enemies this week in
Albany
He showed a most unusual capacity for coupling
fight with tact His victory over the Tammany crowd
that sought to sidetrack Rooseves candidate for the
goVernorship came with minimum Of bitterness.
If he could handle his political enemies in congress
in the same way he handled the Curry-Lehman situa-
ton, he would bring to BEAR in event of his election
an essential quality which many political executives
Including Hoover lack, and which Al Smith, more than
any other political executive of our time possesses
an ability to deal with human beings and the human
factors that after ALL finally determine great public
decisions.

These children did not have
enough nutrition during the period
before birth and this deficiency con-
tinues until the death # the child,
which in such cases frequently oc-

The handling of all these children
presents physically the same prob

rest, less activity, and program

dividually to the physical ability of
the child concerned.
Of course, children with such
diseases as asthma, hay fever, heart
disease, or any of the other disturb

should have complete and careful
diagnosis and the best medical care.
Good medical care given to such
children early in life means a vast

Fixing Tax Rates

The new board Of tax review is finding that run
ming government without money takes on the same
difficulty that the Egyptians found in making bricks
without straw.
Under the law passed by the special session Of the
legislature, the tax rate is limited to $3.50 each
500.
The law sets up board named by the circuit judge
to review the work of officials elected by the people.
At least one member of that board has very
definite political interest in discrediting the present
officials Of the city and county.
This appointive board is insisting on cutting the
rates to point where there would be government.
Such condition may come if 1t becomes impoS-
sble for property owners to pay any taxes, mat
ter what the rate That condition could easily come
from continued unemployment of large numbers.
But until that time arrives ordinary regard
for safety would demand that tax reductions still
permit the government to operate.
Under the proposals Of the heavy taxpayers de-
handing the $3.50 rate the taxes raised would hardly
provide for the interest public debts.
There would be no police department and the
whispered suggestion that the schools be closed for
all but four or five months would be reality.
Under such rate, there would be no fire depart
ment and the sanitary department would be reduced
to point where epidemics might be expected
An effort on the part of discredited politicians to
now dscredit the accomplishments of Mayor Sullivan
ought not to be permitted to invite this chaos
The truth is that for years the taxpayers, So
called were acquiescent when extravaganza End waste
and worse ruled in the city hall and courthouse.
Under that bad government, huge debts were
created.
The city is now paying for its former years OF
misrule 1t Is paying for the years Of bosssm.
Tax reductions are necessary. But there is limit
Orderly government and the protection of lfe prop
erty and health are important in days OF de-
preston than in times of prosperity
Elected officials, in the long rum should be more
responsive to public will and have more regard Tor
the common welfare than appontve boards.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Back in 1926 and
1927, when I complained that the
farmer was not getting his share
Of prosperity, and that he was be-
ing carried along with the tide,
money being loaned to him on mag
mary futures, I was given such
silly answers as mo wonder, they
ride around in automobiles all day,
and spend more time with their
radios than they do their farming ;,
and other silly statements of the
same type.
I came to the conclusion then,
that, with the tax rate on real estate
constantly increasing and the farm
er's income constantly decreasing,
it merely would be a matter of time
until he would be unable to carry
the tax load, and the bubble would
burst.
1t did not take a smart man to
figure that out.
Under our system of government,
real estate always has carried the
tax load. It is very simple kind
of taxation. If you have it, you
can't hide it, and, therefore, when
more money is needed for govern
ment activities, few more cents
is added to the real estate tax and
the problem is solved.
A few years ago one person would
say to another, There ought to be
a law" A minority would be formed,
another law would be passed, peo-
pie hired to enforce it, more money
needed to pay the help, few more
cents added to the real estate tax
until we have reached the present
state of affairs where tWo-thirds of
the citizen of the United States are
working to keep the other one-third
happy and contented on some gov
eminent pay roll.
But now the farmer and the home
owner are beginning to sit up and
take notice. The farmers I know
are not interested in high protec-
tive tariffs, with wheat at 80 cents
and corn at 20; in the excellent
record of the farm board, with its
regulation of the law of supply and
demand, and the home loan bank,
which will enable building and loan
associations to iquidate frozen as
sets, but they are interested vitality
in their governments, local, state
and national.
They have realized that the pres
ent state Of affairs has been brought
about by too much government,
