Our circulation statistics nre bnmed upon this audit, This Insures jro. tection against fraud In nowspnper dls- tribntion figures to both natlonal and lo- cal advertisers THE 20 MILL RATE, for better night adopted the proposals of Councilman Hart and so The city meeting board, or for worse, last amended the budget as adopted by the council that a 20 mill tax rate will prevail. Inasmuch as Mr. Hart seems to be morg or less “in cohoots” the Mayor and with the powers that be political in the oity there will probably be no sustained objections raised to the action of the hoard and the 20 mill rate will one in the city until, at least, some- one finds that we need money for something and a special meeting is held to levy an extra tax, Even that will be collected upon next year’s bill, will not be paid this year. Economy in city government is the wish of the people, there is no doubt of that. They wish it, many of them, for purely selfish reasons. The land- lord wishes it so that he may receive a greater income from his property, the tenant wishes it so that he may gain a cheaper rent. We doubt very much if a reduction in four mills or so over last year's rate is going to af- fect the price of rents very much, al- though an increase of couple of mills called for a vastly increased rental at a time when rents were in demand. The property owner is not yet overwhelmed by a great reduction in the demand for rents, he is prob- ably still getting war time prices for his tenements. It is doubtful if the great number of people will benefit greatly from the lowered rates. However, the running expenses of the city were rcaching the breaking point. They were taxing the patience of the public, they were threatening a political upheaval that would be re- gretted by the organization. The rate came down, it should have for other reasons than those enumerated above, but it came down this year with an entirely different faction behind the move, a faction that counts, a faction that, last year, practically forced the higher rate advocated. The expense of the ity has piled up partially through the efforts of the politically wise to feather their nests. Jobs were found by the city's chief executive for every petty politician who might control'a few votes. He was placed in a certain position com- his political power. before the with become a real a mensurate with This scheme originated time of the present incumbent, but it has been carried on. Time went on, it became necessary to add new poli- ticlans to those already having jobs, and it was thought politically impru- dent to fire the ones already holding places. Thus the city administration became overwhelmingly expensive, it became unwieldy, with no one to stop the flow of money out of the coffers into the pockets of more or less worthy workers. That is the situation today, that is why the ten per cent salary cut, irre- gpective of where the ax falls, is un- fair. The proper way to effect the desired end is to undertake a thor- ough revision of the salaries of all clty employes, individually. The non- producer should be cut” one hundred per cent, and told to look for a job. Others might have a certain amount of value realized by the granting of a wage fifty per cent of what they are gotting Possibly others should be raised, Tn a factory organ- man is worth nothing now. ization where ¢ financters eannot in their turn say to the veterans: “You stay back; we'll take care of this matter; this is our work 1d if they cannot take “take care of' the tinancing of the bhonus in a way that will not humiliate the war veterans or “ruin” the country— if they cannot “get results,” they will have failed. The veterans do not want humiliation nor ruin to the country for which they fought. “WORTHY OF HIS HIRE" There will be many ejaculations of astonishment over the salary ‘‘Babe’ Ruth is to receive for playing ball. That fixed salary is not known at yet, but it is known that he will receive $500 for every home run he makes. If he does as well in this particular as he did last season he will receive $29,500 for the home runs alone, in addition to his regular salary. This is estimated to be in the neighborhood of $50,000 which is probably far more than the actual amount inserted in his contract. Granted, however, that Ruth should receive some $75,000 for his season's work, he deserves it from purely financial point of view. He draws far more than that amount of money to the gate of the Yankees' baseball park and to the gates of the other American league parks where he will appear. This, in addition to aiding his team sq materially in the pennant race, making the team itself, even when he is not in the line-up, a great- er attraction. Ethically, however, there will be a deploring of the fact that a man who excels in a purely physical way, with rather intuitive brain work to help him, should command such a huge salary. 1t is believed that this stand wrong. There is no question of the pleasure a man like Charlic Chaplin brings to children and many adults. This pleasure is worth money to them; it makes them happier and, therefore stronger, better. “Charlie” draws an even larger salary, or makes more money, than Ruth. Compare the “Charlie” does in the real good *“Babe” Iuth does. pare the Chaplin gives the splendid, inspiring, healthful thrill “Babe” Ruth so often gives when his hat meets the ball a home run. And be it remembered this thrill, youth bringing, inspiring, comes to young and old alike. Deprecate the huge salary will the that Ruth and his bludgeon are worth all of $75,000 to the world. a is that to the Com- to good world general pleasure for as one fact remains “Babe" -A BAD musician says there is of the z than in jazz music insists that there is more harm of the old, sensuous waltz harmonies than in often musical A DOG: ME A Boston more danger in fear itself, and in some J music which is taken frankly from tions. good composi- The name more or less indiscrimi ely to mar unmusical eccentricities of modern life.

There are not enough air waves to go around, or the one waves are so closely interwoven that they would not carry messages clearly if anyone who chose could scize one or two or three to carry his personal message, This is what has to be regu- lated.

THE TREATY FIGHT Naturally there ‘would come stories from Washington as the opposition to the Four-Power treaty develops, that ex-President Wilson has hand in it. Such a tale has come it is said, Mr. Wilson's friends do not deny it. The attitude of Senator Hitchcock who handled the Versailles Treaty af- fairs in the Senate while Mr. Wilson was president, is such that his de- mand for drastic reservations is a practical opposition to the treaty. It is to be remembered also that Senator Borah, republican though he is, never openly criticized President Wilson personally in his stand, although the most violent opponent of- President Wilson's treaty. The rumored connec- tion ,of Senator Borah with former President Wilson'’s friends, is thus given an air .of possibility—granting that former President Wilson against the adoption of the Four- Power treaty and is making his ob- Jjections known, It was said when Mr. Wilson decid- ed to stay in Washington after leav- ing the White House that he was go- ing to show the people how an ex- a and, is president should live. It is to. be doubted if opposing the Four-Power treaty, and making his opposition known in a public way, is quite the example an ex-president should set. Secretury of State Hughes has been President Harding is not “lob- bying" for the treaty. Indications are that the White House and the State Department are going to keep their hands off the matter while it is in‘ the Senate. Whether or not this decision inspired uncertainty the White House as to the wisdom of the actions of the Washington conference, is a question. There has been no in- timation from the President that he had any doubt of the good the adop- tion of the trcaty would do.
