NEW YORK TAXI DRIVERS
TO GET FIVE-CENT TAX
Half Million Already Collected Is
Held Up by Decision of Su-
preme Court.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 16.-Mayor
Fiorello H. La Guardia won a chorus
of approval from thousands of taxi
drivers yesterday when he decided they
should get the scent tax now being
paid by cab riders.
The tax was begun last Fall during
the Tammany regime in City Hall in
an effort to find new sources of revenue
for the city.
More than $500,000 has been collected
to date. but a decision Of the Supreme
Court has held the tax invalid
So, unless the city appeals the de-
cision. the s500,000 must be refunded
to either the cab operators or the
drivers.
The mayor told Corporation Counsel
Paul Windels that. if the city does not
appeal, he favors local law to permit
the existing drop meter charge of 20
cents-the extra 5 cents to go to the
driver.
The estimated income from the extra
charge is $150000 a month. which, as
any hackman will tell you, is some tip.

sufficiently persuaded by the partial

Meanwhile the Presidents message
reveals a desire to use the So 900 O0O,-
900 gold profit as stabilization fund
for domestic purposes if necessary.
This means that the Treasury wants
authority to buy and sell its own securi-
ties. Heretofore this has been done
through the Federal Reserve System
alone. During the war the War Finance
Corporation had the right to buy and
sell Government bonds. The importance
fof the step is that the Treasury can
support the bond market for Govern
ment securities against sales by hold
ers Of bonds, just as it has been doing
recently by the use of its own trust
funds.
For all practical purposes the use
of billion or more dollars to stabilize
the Government security market may
never be needed. It's presence will be
felt and should add materially to the
strength of Government securities.

TWOEFFECTSSEE
FROM MONEY PLAN
Pennsylvania U. Professor
Denies Direct Boost in
Price Level.
BY DIR. F. CYRIL JAMES,
Assistant Professor Of Finance University OF
Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania.
(Written for the Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA, January 16.-The
Presidents new plan is not of itself
going to exert any influence upon the
present level of prices. It does not in
crease the general level Of income, nor
does 1t increase the general level OF
| prices.
It does, however, have two important
effects potentially. In the first place,
it may affect the public psychology to
such an extent that it will increase the
velocity Of circulation of money and so
raise prices substantially. In the second
place it renders possible a substantial
| increase in the total currency and
credit of the United States.
Would Benefit, Merchant.
If such a price increase should fol-
low from either or both Of these fac
tors, it would be very difhcult to con-
of the s2,O00.O00.000 fund demanded
by the President for this purpose.
Such a price increase would un-
doubtedly benefit the merchant and
manufacturer who had large stocks of
goods that had been purchased at the
lower price levels now prevailing. There
is not, however. any evidence that 1t

age debtor. particularly If his income
consisted Of wages or salary, since costs
of living would rise very much more
rapidly than such money incomes.
The creation of $4,000. .000, 900 fund
for the triple purpose of maintaining
the value Of the dollar on the foreign
exchange market and domestically as
well as supporting the credit of the
Government is very interesting pro-
posal.
Doubts Price Stability.
1t is conceivable that the foreign
exchange value of the dollar may be
kept under control for short period
of time at any rate. There Is more
doubt about the ability of the Gov
ernment to keep up the price of its
bonds and very little probability that
it will be able to stabilize commodity
prices or maintain the domestic pur-
chase price of the dollar
Despite the Presidents statement,
a more fruitful policy in the long run
would probably have been attained by
an attempt jointly with important
foreign countries to stabilize the value
of the dollar more definitely and to
permit the restoration OF an interna-
tional gold standard.

TAX PENALTIES RENTED
Gov. w. H. Murray Orders Pay
ment by July 1, However.

OKLAHOMA CITY. January 16 Cpl.
Gov w. H. Murray issued an execu-
tive order of clemency yesterday re-
mitting delinquent tax penalties on all
classes Of property for 1888 and prior
years provided the taxes are paid in
full before July u, 1884
Use of his clemency power in an at
tempt to cancel the tax penalties was
resorted to by the Governor after a
previous proclamation authorizing
county treasurers to waive the penalties
had been declared illegal by Attorney
General King
Under conditions confronting Okla
homa, the tax penalties would consti-
tute excessive fines and cruel or un-
usual punishment" said Murrays order.

In commercial organizations. The
American Hospital Association, pool

a standardized system of accounting
and record keeping which not only

costs and income. department by
A., department. In Pennsylvania where
hospitals are regularly aided by the
State It was found necessary in
1922, at a cost of approximately
5000, 900. to install the uniform sys-
tenn Of accounting in all State-aided
hospitals. Outstanding among the
advantages of the system is the fact
that it makes possible a comparison
of costs of operation in any given
hospital, department by department,
with those Of other hospitals, there
by detecting extravaganza or waste
or the need sometimes of radical
change.
Striking examples Of the discover
les that were made as the result OF
such comparisons are the cost OF
491ke per patient day for laundry
service in the Milford Emergency
Hospital. Comparative figures re-
veal that this cost should not ex-
ceed lie per day and indicates the
necessity of installing laundry
equipment; the discovery that the
cost of repairs and upkeep in the To-
cal hospital is 25.Se per patient day,
when the average cost in other hos
pitals of similar size is only 1Oe.
These two departments alone are
costing the hospital some $4,000 a
year more than they should. 1t is
noteworthy that in spite of the ex-
cessive cost in these departments, |
the total costs average 25f day less I
per patient in the Milford Emergen- I
cy Hospital than in others of similar
size.
DR.. o. V. James. president of the |
staff of the Milford Emergency Hos !
pital, said today: "The hospital sit

a real menace to every citizen. Hos
pitals. schools and churches present
an accurate gauge of the progress of
any civilization. We can boast of fine
schools and splendid churches but
from the standpoint of hospitaliza-
tion we are slipping wOefully behind.
Time and again our doctors have
to care for patients under severe
handicaps at home simply because
there is no room in the hospital. In
most critical cases a pauper in
hospital has a better chance of life
and recovery. all things being equal,
than a millionaire at home"
