A study of the varlous amounts agreed upon shows a careful con- sideration of the needs of depart- ments and a tendency to make the cuts small In each case, bringing, however, a considerable sum when the total is found. If the dentaly clinic will fail without the $6,000, it should be cut out. The pro- posed reduction in salaries of fire- men and policemen, totalling $ 041,50, should not be made, it is said. Justice demand this change. A lower tax rate should ob- obtained if such a thing is possible. The only safe way in which to reach such a lower rate has been adopted by the board of finance and taxation, by making the attempt ft- self instead of allowing some outside organization, such as the Taxpayers' Assoclation, to do fit. In favoring adoption of the mates practically as presented by this sub-committee it is taken for granted that no reductions have been made which would bring the estimate below the amount necessary to be paid un- der the law, and that no estimates of income have heen made which are so high that the amount named could not by any possibility be received. In the past, when reduced budgets have | been submitted to the voters at old city meetings, it has been found that these faults were The ¢ budgets submitted on some occasions the Assoclation have Leen open to the criticism that they could not possibly provide the money the city, and illegal.

The cry | "o ® o "R the propriety of “old hands |0 Dliee where the debate between Rev, John R, Straton w. Brady took place yesterday is not un der discussion. There be reason in the suggested comment that if good resulted from the talks possibly there was no more fitting place from which the words should be spoken than a church pulpit. Those who be- lieve, however, that the church is sacred to the worship of God will not agree with this attitude. There is much to be sald on their side of the was needed of board has been employment bureau men work when a has come continually thu must kept at the work cases because they are familiar with it, and there must be a scattering of men among the new to maintain be in many and may old efficiency."” In fairness to the board it must be said that this is true to a certain de- gree. It is not true to the extent it has been carried. There is no excuse for having over half the men em- ployed by the day and paid by the city men who were not recommended by the employment bureau. This has been the case often, if information gained in city hall circles is correct. Possibly the whole board of pub- lic works is not to blame actually for this situation if the board is to be considered as composed of individ- uals. But the action of the board should be the action of indi- vidual of the board. Those members knowifz of the situation who | ohject to it should make their sitions known to the end that conditions would be righted. If thority to hire men has been dele- gated the board is responsible for the 'quon(lnn‘ also. Dr. Straton has assailed the morals of the stage. William A. Brady, pro- [ducer of note, had listened until he could stand it He asked to be allowed to speak. The oppor- tunity was given him. | No defense of stage people for the |awful crimes they have committed is intended, and no word must be taken to mean that there are any mitigating circumstances in connection with their misdeeds if they have committed the crimes of which they have been ac- cused recently.
