The man who debies the existence of a problem is not apt to diseover a solu- tion. Aécidents, illness and death, like * lightning, make little impression until they strike close home, Most American probléms cduld be settled quickly if everybody was interested “in the general welfare. The New York Post, oldest paper in New York, has been sold to. man named Backer. He’s it; that’s what the paper meeded. Something new. The havy. is going =to have a colonel. Colonel F.. Betz has sréceived his appointment to the Naval > Academy at Annapolis. The “Colonel” is + Mr. Betz’s given name. If the object of the British, in sending their sovereign ard his queen to the United | States, was for the purpose of cementing the friendship of the two peoples, well and good, but if the purpose was ultetior, it will find the isolationist sentiment Here definitely implacable. Congress is in a Hew mood to take the action ‘ necessary to encourage private business and private employment if it is not Htampered by the President.“ While he is not outwardly for the change in ‘the cor- tax laws, at least he is not bringing —cainy pressure to bear silhaeaseor them. = Forty-two slave. ago haat racitig be- Public scantlal in the state of New the voters of that diy adopted e constitution prohibit- WHY OPPOSE NEW CHARTER? is the aquealien inembets 6f the That is Charter Revision Comittee’ are dalting those who have indieated théir on without, apparently, studying the new éharter. In the majority of cases, those questioned about their stand on the char- ter proposal made no effort to participate in the diseussions when the new document was béing drawn, made fio effort to fead the provisions when they were postéd for public considération and made up their minds from false statements made by those jritefestéd th thaintaining the present char- ter provisions. Here, in brief, are the main provisions of the new tity charter as outlined by the Charter Revision Committee: It makes the mayor and city eOtificil= men subject to recall, It abolishes the board of publit works and creates 4 department of eity cotncil to handle such work. It creates a civil setvicé board for protection of municipal employes, It provides.that present employes be | service ratings and { retained with civil calls for appointment of all few ttiployes and Officials; except the mayor and coun- cilmen who are elected, from the . civil service roster. It increases by four-tenths of one per | cent the maximum tax allowance for pub- lic works. It ‘provides that all monies shall be turned cver to a city treasurer who as- sumes the office of tax collector and that the present tax assessor-collector shall be assessor only. It provides that the municipal judge and the city attorney be licensed by the state. It. abolishes the office of supervisor of registration and makes the city coun- cilmen election commissioners, the city clerk, supervisor of registration. It calls for publication of ordinances only by title, thus saving printing costs. It reducés the salaries of ¢ouncilmen from $400 to $250 a year: It limits the city’s borrowing power on tax anticipation warrants to 50 per cent of the total. : It provides for quarterly payment, of taxes: ‘ Tt provides for sale of property. for taxeé in accordance with state law Which places tax deeds on an equal footing with other deeds. It eliminates a poll tax . by directing council to handle all election details. It validates the zoning ordinance per- mitted under the state enabling act. To the majority of our citizens these provisions appear to be sound and capable of bringing about a more effective ad- whinistration of municipal affairs. The Citizen believes the new charter is at least a step in the direction of improve- ment. It can be amended if and when fur- ther improvements appear necessary. It is worth trying. HIGH COURT RULINGS Several important rulings of general interest were made during the session of the United States Supreme Court which retently closed, including the following: 1. Sit-down strikes ate “high-handed proceedings without a shadow of legal right,” and employers do not have to re- instate employees who participate in them. 2. The Federal govérnment éah tax’ dhlaries of state employees, and the state | can tax salaries of Federal ¢ihployees. 3. A‘state must give equal educa- tional advantages to white and Negro students, 4. Private power companies have no legal right to challenge the constitutionality of the Federal power prograin. 5. Restrictions on the amount of major farm prodiicts that may be. thar- keted are constitutional. ly téverses the ruling which invalidated the original AAA.) ; : 6.
