'It seems strange that the citi-

s'ft seems strange that the citi- bens' Non- Partisan Taxpayers league should be taking such a prominent part in politics" said member of the organization this morning. 'sBut just as some of us thought after we were in q while 1t was simply organized to try to defeat the democratic party in this election. But 1t did not take Q few of us long to figure out what was in the wind.
 we were of the impression that the organization would keep out of political broiis and make an effort to bring about some offthe changes that we thought would be advantageous to the city. But be- fore long the needles began to work, and the expose came when Attorney Hector Auray suggested that the league support William J. PaIts for mayor.

Under the banking emer-

Government to take advan-

to exact a penalty. AS much

but the end has come, and
the Government finds that
today from $6OO,OOO,OOO to
a billion dollars are still
boarded, and as much as
$4OO,OOO,0OO in gold bullion
and coin are out.

Measure

MGdSuE6
In New York, progress
sive governor, with a sense
Of social justice and an ap-
probation of the times, is
moving in harmony with
the national Administration
in the direction Of results.
Governor Lehman's message
to the legislature asking for
the enactment Of a job in
surance measure is of his
toric Importance. A prac-
tical business man himself,
he does not ask that it ap-
ply before July l, 1884, and
not even then if conditions
have not measurably i'm
proved. The measure is for
the future. But he wants
it on the books.
The necessity for some
such action has been clear
ever since the beginning of
the depression.
The times have outlawed
the ancient notion that So
ciety owes nothing to a man
who works but is denied
the right; that industry has
no obligation to the worker.
That outworn theory long
continued makes for the
kind of radicalism that con-
servative industrialists do
not relish.
Some forward-looking in
dustrialists have seen this
themselves and sought, by
voluntary action in setting
aside unemployment re-
serves, to make unnecessary
a recourse to the State.
These are pioneers deserv-
ing Of the highest praise.
But we predicted in these
columns long ago that moth
ing worth while would come
of it because greed, selfish
ness and blindness dominate
too many men.

be forced to yield to the
demand now made in the
presidential order.
The exceptions cited in
the order apply to amounts
less than a hundred dollars,
to reasonable amounts actu-
ally necessary for use in in
dustry and the arts, to gold
and bullion held in trust for
foreign governments.
Secretary Woodin explains
why hoarders are doing
their full share in retarding
recovery when he says:
"Gold held in private
boards serves no useful
purpose under present cir
cumstances. When added to
the stock of the Federal Re-
serve banks it serves as a
basis for currency and
credit. This further is q
strengthening of the bank
ing structure by adding to
its power of service toward
recovery"
1t is evident that among
those who have ignored the
patriotic appeal are some
hoarders of vast amounts.
Where these are known,
their names will be turned
over to the Department of
Justice for action after
May l.

Governor Lehman's
Conclusion

~9~SoS@@SN@e
Conclusion
Governor Lehman in his
message has reached the
same conclusion. Thus he
says:
Experience has made it
clear that we cannot rely
upon voluntary action for
the establishment of unem-
ployment relief. A few ad-
vsnced employers of the
country have voluntarily set
up unemployment reserve
funds for their workers; but
for SO per cent of the
workers of industry no such
provision has been made.
That idea, therefore, is
out; it has failed of realiza-
tion; it never will be realized
until organized society faces
it's obligations and takes the
initiative and makes pro-
vision. And from that there
is no escape; for Governor
Lehman expresses the view
of every thinking person
with any social sense when
he says:
Unemployment reserves
by industry have become a
primary social duty which
the State must recognize"

Something Is
Being Done

With a saving Of from
$45O,OOO,OOO to $470,O0O,O0O
in the cost of government al
ready effected by the act OF
the President, he now calls
on the heads of departments
to slash the appropriations
made for 1884 on the basis Of
the Hoover budget to the
tune of $3OO,OOO,O0O more.
Presi dents have been
known to call on their SUBJ
ordinates for drastic cuts in
cost and without satisfactory
results. But the heads Of the
departments now know that
the President means what he
says. They will not debate,
they will act.
Thus within less than five
weeks of action with courage
we are within sight Of a saw
ing of about $85O,OOO,OO in
the cost of government.

will bring in some hundreds
of millions that have not
been included in the nations
revenue.
Thus something is being
done in a big way to put the
nations financial house in
order.
Meanwhile, because Of the
new spirit, private business,
especially banking, is put
ting it's house in order. The
Chase National Bank in New
York is taking the lead, and
apparently in a spirit Of real
acquiescence.
