Just what was most desired has been accomplished by the conference &t the White House concerning the controversy between the emploves and the raliroads. Not only has it served to straighten out proposed legislation for the purpose of reaching a fair set- w:; S such disputes but It has cleared the way for the immediate passage of the amendment to the Brd- man act, which is necessary in order o give the greatest degree of fairness to the arbitration of the differences, It mow remains for congress to act upon the changes and complete the work which has been so much needed and %0_well started. The result of the conference means, from present indications and with fa- vorable actlon by congress, that the fhreatencd strike has been averted. It also means that a great advance, will Rave been made In behaif of arbitra- tion in general, an admission of the great benefit which exists i such an adjustment of labor = disputes over strikes and a concession to the de- mands of the public. Experience has shown that the Erdman act contained provisions which did not contribute as much as it should to an unbiased adjustment. Too much rested upon ome man and the restriction in time showed that the big railroad disputes which had been considered could not Be heard and decided within its pro- vislons. The double. purpose of re- moving the delay in congress and an awkward situation between the dis- putants ‘has been well served by the conference. Now let congress act and arbitration proceed. CITY GOVERNMENT. The best government possivly is an ymbition which should actuate every eommunity and for the purpose of ob- taloing it several methods are under trial throughout the country such as the commission form of government, and the general maniger plan. The fdes fn each instance is the elimina- tion of poiltics and getting public af- fairs down to a business basis. If any business should be run econom- feally and properiy it is that of a city or jown. the ome business‘in which everyone is interested. Staunton, Va. has adopted the gen- #ral manager plan and the position of #Mhe general manager selected to run the oity is this: “City business should be transacted with the same financial insight as that required in the con- @luct of a private corporation. Con- tracts for suppiies should be awarded on the lowest bids for the best me- terfal without favor or recognition of Political ‘pull’ Merit must rule in the appointment of chiefs of departments —the best man for the job to get the place. Petty animosities are to be dis- \couraged and complete harmony de- manded between departments. Reports of finances and recommendations should b submitted to an auditing committes every month. be pald city employes, 4 be more pubils improve. greater school factlities. rule fn evebything so the tax rate may be lowered and the property values increased by rea. 1 development.” There is no more excuse for extrav- agance in public business than in any- hing else umless the people want it #0, 1f publie sentimeni requires it what ls possible umder the commis- sion, or the gemeral manager form, is aise obtainsbie under the other forms of city government and should be d The restdents of Sachem street are not only deing well by themselves and the users of the thereughfare by put- ling dewn gramolithic welks but they are working in harmeny with the im- ement the eity has just made ihere. It is an example for many olher streets.

There is tafk ‘mow now of testing the constitutionality of the act of-the Pennsylvania legisiature in placing a tax on all anthracite coal consumed outside of that state. It is apparent that this will meet with much. sym- pathy but there should be no delay in bringing such action. It is a matter which sheuld be determined as soon as possible and it would be an Injus- tice to collect the tax from the users of coal throughout the country and Jater find that such a tax is unconsti- tutional. ‘While the state may have intended to place the tax upon the producers, they are cleverly shifting the responsibility for meeting it upon the dealers who in turn will get it from the consumer by raising the price per ton. It would be a shame to g.u{u in the toll under %uch a plan and later find that Pennsylvania had attempted something it could not legally carry out. It is @ method of taxation which makes the rest of the country contri- bute heavily to the maintenance of the Pennsylvania state government. There have been cases of somewhat similar nature which have resulted in deci- sions of constitutionality, because of interference with the freedom of com- merce by the states. Whether this situation can be placed in the same category as the oil and the Indiana gas cases shonld mnot “bHrook any delay in the interest of those who are to meet the tax Even though the States supreme court may decide it legal, it is a harsh method of taxa- tion. BETTERING THE ARMY. Just what success Secretary Garri- son will have in his endeavor to res duce the number of army posts about the country in his effort to mprove the condition of the army, remaing to be seen. It is a policy which was ad- | vocated by his predecessor because the posts are not needed, but polit- ical influence of the log rolling tvpe has served to keep them In existence. |1t has been previously advocated for the welfare of the army and its sanc- [ tioning by the new head of the de- partment, though of & different polit- ical faiih, gives evidence that it is still a much desired reform. | congress of his party persuasion he should receive the ald which is neces- sary beyond his own power to put! the reforms into effect. Just what condition the posts are in and what improvements can be ?mnd:» should be gained from the pro- Jected visit to the army posts about |the country of the secretary of war | and other army officials who have pre- viously reviewed the situation. Sec retary Garrison will then be in a posi- | tion to strongly urge whatever is con- | sldered necessary to eliminate the use- {less and put the army on a proper baeis. It is ridiculous to suppose that volitics should forever control the out- lays of elther the army or the navy, | whete the aim should be for the estab- | 11shment of those departments of gov- ernment, like all others, that they can | render the best be available when occasion requires. With the patronage and politics in- volved it is not plished without THE BANANA TAX. Not a little opposition has been stir- red up by the proposal to place a duty on bananas in the new tariff sched- ule. Just how much the plan of tax- ing this fruit five cents a bunch would affect the price to the consumer is dif- ficult to estimate, but it would unm doubtedly influence the trade and send it to other markets and thereby have | a much greater effect upon the price than the mere tax alone might. To the raisers this tax is a serious mat- ter. When it is considered that the ban- a struggle. that the endeavor has been in the tariff revision to reduce the cost of liv- ing, it seems to be an act against prom- ises when the effort is made to increase the rqvenue through taxing a fruit which is largely used by the working class throughout the entire vear be- cause of its availability through price. The importation of bananas has great- 1y increased in recent yearsiand ap- proximately forty-one miliion bunches | are brought here each year. It is a fruit which is not in competition since |it is not grown in this country. It | is plainly evident that the mad effort to raise revenue fo offset the tariff- for-revenue-only. policy has caused the ditional duty only burdens those peo- ple without protecting any home in- dustry.
