For a long time it has been recognized a that the law against the possession of firearms in New York without a permit mads difficult for people to protect themeselves against criminals, while erim- tnals willing to take a change were able to carry on their operations using fire- arms to hold up, frighten and even kill people and in great many instanees get away free. While the suppression of the firearms was intended for the pur- pose of reducing the number of deaths permits was taking a chance which many were willing to risk in spite ef the pen- alty attached, but when it is possible for gun toters who intend to use them for the commisison of crime to get hold of the protective permit it certainly reveals a condition which would be un- nerving for mest any community except New York where some new thrill is ex- pected every mofment. THE TROLLEY PROBLEM. One of the important matters that will occupy the atténtion of the general a sembly at the coming session will be that long period of time that the trolley, roads were being subjected te competition which was not just sinee thére were ne such burdens or regulations placed upon the jitneys as upom the troliey lines and vet it was aleng the very poutes which had been estabiished by the trelleys with their heavy overhead charges that the jitneys carried on their basiness. With the trelley roads pinched by in- sufficient revenue their inability te pro- vide more adequate sérvice was increased by the further reduction in their réevenue by the patronage which the jitnevs took away. The onesidedneéss of the sitmation made it impossible for the trolleys to keep service and equipment up to re- quirements and it made it likewise impos- sible to pay its taxes té the state or te aveid defleits. Changes in rates, fare limits and schedules have, as the resuit of the latest raise and thé restrictisn of jitneys by most eities, helpéd to improve the révenue and make it évifent that by giving them a square deéal it will be pos- sible for the eléctric rodds Where thare is any business at all to provide the service that is demanded. But that Aossn't determiné the matter of taxation and the other large expenses required of the trolley companiés for bridge and stréet maintenance. FHére again it is recognized what a burdén of expensé has to be shouldered by the trol- leys which does not fall upon the jitney drivers. 1t is only proper that this ques- tion involving common carriérs should be given the attention of the legistature that there may be prover considerdation shown to all concernéd and in this conneetion it seems not imnrobable that much atten- tion will be given to the recommenda- tions which have been made by the state chamber of eemmerce for dealing with this probléem. THE SHIPPING BOARD CNARGES. Great have been the wastes connected with the wartime activities of this ceun- and such of thém a& are being con- tinued by (he government. Due regard has been paid to the fact that large ex- penditures wére necessitated by condi- tions but it is outside of war contracts and even sfuce the war ended ihat seme of the great inroads ints the funds of the country have been made. It is as if it was considered that thé pesple of the country had poured their money into a large bin and it was the business of cer- tain ones to sée how fast they could dis- pose of it without regard for what was given in return or What Was accemplish- ed lereby, This is again brovght te the attention of the country 9y the charges which wers made before the house committee inves- tigating the shiyping board oéperations in which graft and bribery were claimed 1o be responsible for the loss of millions of dollars, and tiat imefficiency and fa- veritism played a conspicaous part in contributing te huge wastes. Fiom What two former emploves of the shipping board had to say regarding tie manner of doing business it would appear that thit important federxl board, playing such a_conspicuous part in con- nection with our merchant marine, has en conducting its affairs in anything tut a busitesslike marner. Just what vill be said as an offset to the charges cannot be predicted but if these men possess the proef, which it is to be sup- posed that they do or they would net be Riaking such serious charges before a congressional committee, there hag exist- ol a condition in the ecomduet of this lranch of the government's business that ie highly deplorable. The allegations dealing with the priee charges, the padding of payrells, the making of bad loans, the sanetieming of | fat contracts and the resale operations warrant the going to the- bottem of the board’'s activities, especially in connec- tion with conditions over which the board Yag control. ) f i EDITORIAL NOTES.
