THE SENATE ACTS, last night the stock sales and mortgage equalization tax bills. It penis of demagogues. 9 the support of the Government in return for the protection they re- Chief they do. ; ‘The Central Federated Labor Union was led on Sunday to oppose the other revenue measure, on the “whereas” that “the taxation of mortgages taxes bullding operations, lessens the opportunity for employment and Faites rents,” » Was there no one to tell this meeting that mortgages are already sub- J fect to taxation at the regular local rate—$1.51 in this city—and that the new bill substitutes for this a recording tax of only one-half of 4 per cent.? @ burdensome rate. The bill passed by the Senate simply equalizes the Mortgage tax and reduces it from.one and one-half to one-half of 4 per cent. ii The spectacle of the Tammany Senators, the boasted representatives of the “ptain people,” voting against the tax on stock gambling and against the reduction of the tax on mortgages is enough to make a-horse laugh! AMPUTATION IS NECESSARY. {~) {in the last six years the New York Board of Aldermen has taken action on only twelve out of twenty-eight applications for franchises. Six- teen applicants were tired out, or saw their petitions die lingering deaths, Only four out of ten franchises granted were acted upon with reason- @ble promptness. One of these was for a trolley line in the Bronx, and it went to the New York, Westchester & Boston Company, after the Port ‘(Chester Company's similar application had been long under “hold-up” pro- | cesses, The preference for the Westchester concern has been explained j only by inference from the story that the Port Chester promoters were iurgently invited to see “the captain.” 4 The Pennsylvania Railroad terminal franchise was held up five ‘months, Up in the Fort George region and above people are still without mapid transit because the Aldermen took seven months to approve a ) @hange in the Subway route, The provoking five months’ “hold-up” of deigpaeld tunnel project in Sixth avenue is of recent, well-remembered Of nine well-considered applications for routes made by the Rapid {Transit Commission since Jan. 1, 41900, only three have been promptly approved. {| A board so inanifestly unfit to exercise power should have none. Piecemeal reform, a mere cutting down of privilege, will not meet the | emergency. The way to cut off a dog’s tail is mot by inches, but at one stroke, The Board of Aldermen should go in the same way. AN EAST SIDE MARKET. ‘~The United Citizens’ Push-Cart Peddlers’ Association passed resolu- ‘tons on Sunday in favor of an east side public market, As The Evening World has pointed out, such an institution is greatly needed on the east side, The west side has several excellent markets, and in Fulton Market the lower downtown neighborhood is provided for; but the populous ‘east side makes its purchases in too small amounts to warrant spending 40 cents carfare. The push-carts, the street peddlers and the small unsanitary grocery stores are the development of a lack of proper facilities for the small retail sale. of food products. The people of the east side must eat, and they cannot buy in large quantities, They are entitled to wholesome food, Properly kept and handled under sanitary conditions, This cannot be ‘done as things are now, The city departments in their regular crusades upon the east side dealers are unable to put a stop to present evils for lack )| of any substitute, In the approaches to the Delancey street bridge and under the other bridges there is ample space to provide public markets on land for which the city must pay the full value for bridge purposes. With a series of public markets provided at suitable and convenient places on the east side there will he the opportunity to concentrate the sellers of food prod- "ucts under sanitary conditions and with such supervision as is not now ) possible to make it effective. FOR AN AUTO RACE COURSE. © Automobilists with sporting proclivities have adopted the right and ( course of securing a track for auto racing, instead of misusing ithe public highways for this purpose. © The old Morris Park race course for horses will hereafter be devoted exclusively to automobile racing, It Is admirably adapted to this purpose ‘by its nearness to the city and by the extent and character of its safe and . well-: ed. track, Aside from the pleasure that this will give {o the Morris Park Racing ‘Club, and to others interested in trials of speed and in the regular racing meets, the first of which will be held on May 20, the general public will! experience a relief in knowing that there is to be a secluded outlet for the |< Magistrate Crane yesterday commended from the berich The Evening forld’s demand for prompt and severe punishment for the “beasts of | rey” who pursue young girls.
