The gov- ernor's fdeas upon economics are sound enough to alienate enough Republicans from the influence of the state machine to permit him to attain success in his ventures of 1925; which also leads to the sup- position that had he been nomi- nated Democrats and be- come President of the Uniteq States he would have become an unusually capable by the chief executive, The governor's chief efforts this year have been an attempt to bring a per cent income taxes — about ] in reduction ow York be- | ing one of the states where citizens | are “blessed” with a state {ncome tax in addition to the one enacted by the federal government —— and | the appropriation of $300,000,000 by the state for the elimination of railroad grade crossings. Both plans give every promise of getting through the legislature, and in the form of constitutional amend- ments will be voted upon at a re- ferendum. There is no doubt of pub- state lic sentiment and that the vote at the polls will be favorable. While the governor of New York economic re- forms, commanding the admiration | and tacit consent of Republicans, | Mayor Hylan of New York contin-| ues to suffer a depreciation of po- ltical reputation, according to the New York press.
