THE COST OF BAD GOVERNMENT, ‘ Bad government costs more in money than is measured by high faxes and the squandering of the public funds. The tax of the public- service corporations amounts to more upon the average worker than the direct municipal tax, Every public-service corporgtion in New York has capitalized not only its investment in plant, but its franchise valua- tion, and in paying interest and dividends the tax upon the public is many times an ordinary return on the real capital invested, In theory a franchise is a right owned by the public, the use of which ts granted to a corporation for the public benefit and good, Whatever the value of the franchise may be, it is the public and not the corporation which has created that value. To manufacture cloth or paper or shoes the value of the articles manufactured is not dependent upon the locality upon its location. A franchise to lay a trolley road through the Catskills would not be profitatie because the people to use the road do not live there in suffi- cient numbers. In like manner the Broadway franchise is much more valuable than the Belt line franchise, and the right to supply electricity | and gas in downtown New York is worth many times as much as in Staten Island or Queens County.

What are Rules for? SUNDAY HOODLUMISM. Hoodlumism on Sunday is becoming too prevalent in this town. | Pleasant family trips are spoiled by the turbulence and riotousness of | young men, and occasionally young women, The evening cars from Coney Island and on the suburban roads in the Bronx, and also the ele- vated and subway trains, are too frequently scenes of public disorder, Exuberant spirits and physical exhilaration after a day spent at the seashore or in the country away from toil may account for some of these ‘ disturbances, but neither is a sufficient excuse, Too often tt is apparent that liquor {s the inciting cause of this rowdyism. 9 Whatever may be said about the moderate use of alcoholic beverages Dy adults, there is no excuse for their consumption by half-grown boys. ' fhe law forbids the sale of liquors to minors, and it would be a thousand | q times better to use the power the police and the District-Attomey may i ave in regulating the sale of liquor to enforce this part of the Excise law ; than to attempt a general supervision with which public opinion is not in ‘The toleration of Sunday night hoodlumism will lead to more serious breaches of the peace and of the law. It is much belter to preserve the ,fpeace and enforce seemly public behavior in the early years than to pun- ) tah more serious crimes which will develop in after life from a bad be- (@uning in youth.
