The Senate turned down the pro- posgl to w the tari®f duty on sugar, mnwll.hn\ndlnl the plea that tinet value, although much of it & short of his highest quality of produc: tion. Every scrap of the work of old masters, even though below stand- ard or immature, or imperfect througl haste or other cause, is cherished and highly valued. Just so the early writ- ings of those who became masters of literature are respectéd. Original man- uscripts even of the most trifiing character bring high prices in_ the market of literary souvenirs. The fact that the artist keeps all of his old material, his failures and his experiments, shows that he values them and that he regards them as records. Probably every artist who produces freely clings fondly to early works even ¢ |though they may be unworthy of dis- play. Yet there are innumerable cases of destruction of canvases by painters themselves, of painting over old com- lpouumm Storage room and stretchers are assets in a painter's business and sometimes purely commercial consider- ations dictate destruction. It is known that some painters prefer to leave nothing behind them that shows their painful procedure toward success. ‘The personal temperament s | plays & large part in determining this question. When the painter leaves no instructions to guide his executors their own judgment must prevail. In the present case it is not to be assumed that the sixty-one paintings that were destroyed were rated as of no market value, The painter's widow has stated sugar is an agricultural product and the pending tariff bill is intended primarily to aid the farmers of America. Party lines, ‘“coslition” lines, “old guard” Iines, all ‘were smashed in the vote on the amendment offered by Senator Har- rison of Missisaippi, Democrat, to retain the duty in the existing Jaw instead of committee proposs! was l reduction of the rate placed in the pending bill by the House. Sugar is an article of general con- sumption in.the United States. The American people have come to look upen it as a necessity. The sugar growers and manufacturers of domestic sugar are so far in the minority, as com- pared to the consumers of sugar, that the issue of higher or lower sugar duties takes onm an unusual political com- plexion in a country which has become ‘wedded to the ‘dea of a protective tariff. pugar consymers’ oppogitien in the coming - comgressional eleetions fell across the Sengte. The Senate, it ap- pears, has become evep more suscep- tible to such influences than the Heuse. : : Egd i Zigiézé g §§ HH L] i i g : : I i H £ g! p FLH i fe § § g § ! ik : 2 is 8 i : : i is i 8 g f i ¥§! 4 g H i 8 time ers fi fact sugar com- papies producing domestic sugar have comtinued to show profits under the existing law, in many cases, was a powerful inflyence against the proposed increase in the Semate.

The eugar duty has been one of the mest hotly contested phases of the pand- ing tariff bill.

In indorsing without a dissenting vote the report of the Carnegie Foun- dation, which scored professionslism in college sports, the Association of Amer- ican Colleges, in session in this city, took the only natural action. There was no alternative. And while the delegates from the various colleges rep- resented at the conference might have made heated replies to the aspersions of professionalism in their own partic- ular institutions, they wisely let the motion for indorsement go through without discussion, knowing that how- ever innocent a particular college might be, nothing was to be gained by bring- ing again to public notice the unsavory conditions revealed by the body of ex- perts which composed the Carnegie Foundation’s commission of inquiry. Unquestionably there is some profes- sionalism in the colieges of this eountry teday, particularly in foot ball, which has eame to be met enly a method of sttracting attention to yarioys imstitu- tions for advertising purposes, but the spert that maintains all of the other te athletic sctivities.

The reassessment was only re- cently completed, and tax bills for 1928, due a year ago, will probably be mafled to taxpayems by next May. The bills for 1929, due now, probably will not be mailed until October of 1930. There has been no cash from taxes since 1928, and warrants anticipating these taxes, and appropriations paid by these war- rants, are in excess of what the re- ceipts will be when they do come in. A fight now is in progress to make the city base its 1930 budget on actual revenue that will be received, instead of upon hoped-for but fmprobable reve- nues. In the meanwhile more than 40,000 Iawsuits have been filed, pro- | m testing the assessments made for 1937. A more muddled situation could hard- 1y be imagined. Charges of graft have been made and some indictments re- turned. But the prospect eonfronting the taxpayers for the next few years is anything but bright. An enormous debt must be funded, and city budgets must be drawn to meet the approval of bankers who lend the money, the bankers having decided to take eity finances pretty much into their own hands. All of which seems to indicate that while one may not foo] the sovereign opunutmme,mwmimpo- ple of Cook County have been fooled rather consistently during the last dozen years or so.

No in municipa! government, Gangs and erime have helped to paint the picture black, byt these have been forced off the front page in recent months by Chicago’s financial difficulties. There was news when Chicago laid off 2,000 | police and firemen because of thieat. ened inability to pay them, and al- though these have been reinstated, the difficulties of the school administration snd the threatened closing of the schools have relegated the unmiformed men to pecond place. In @ city of over 3,000,000, the second largegt in the United States and one of the industrial centers of the world, such municipal poverty passes under- standing. The story of h>w it has come about is interesting, but the story of Chicago in the four years after 1931, when the administration of Mayor Wil- liam Hale Thompson happily ccmes to an end, will be still moye entrancing.
