ALBANY, Nov. 21.—Former Deput, who was bounced from his job by Gov. Whitman for declaring that th direct State tax was uncalled for a October reports of the State fiscal officials, disc Evening World's tax campaign for New York City. He He sald: “The Evening World’s campaign to compel a more just distribution of thy burden of taxation so that the Present taxpayer may be relieved and those who do not pay may be com- pelled to pay involves cutting down of expenditures of the city, the breaking of @iscrimination against the city by the State and the collection of addi- tional revenue from sources which now escape taxation. “The discovery of new sources of revenue is just as important to the other municipalities of the State as it is to New York City, because all of them are struggling under the same load of providing for public improve- ments—water supply, transportation ‘and traffic. The elaboration of the “oity beautiful” idea has brought many up-State cities to a situation requiring drastic treatment.

The fact is, as The Evening World established jast spring, that the State revenues are sufficient. The cities of the State, and particularly, in so fer as the solicitude of The Evening World 1s concerped, the City of New York, are undoubtedly in need of more money from taxation sources. “Admittedly the property tax throughout the State has reached the highest point compatible with busi- ness safety, Therefore new taxation {must be a iax on income and not on property, but not on the kind of in- come the Mills Committee contem- ees “There are different sorts of income.

Outside of their interest to tax experts they serve no purpose and the merits of the proposals need not concern the public. “But the public has need to be con- cerned in the Mille Committee theory that new State taxation Is needed at this time. The application of that theory ig to invite demoralization of pro) ‘Yy. values, “But for the misunderstanding of the operations of State finances on the part of the administration which took possession of the State last January, there would be no necessity to-day for an investigating commit- tee roaming up and down and across the State seeking plans for raising new revenues. Facts bave supplanted argument and prediction and it has become certain that all the State financial programme of 1915 was based upon ignorance of true con- ditions. “It was maintained by Gov.

Whit- man, that $3,000,000 appropriated for canals and $2,000,000 for highways) were unnecessary. The proof of the contention, coming back after! months, is the fact that these ap- ropriations were not _expended.| Other instances could be quoted, but} these two are sufficient. rk’s THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, Mannequin Beauties in Fine Feathers For New First Fashion Festival NEW CALLOT MoDEL.

Whitman into the direct! tax that the estimates of receipts made by the previous Administration were millions greater than the amount which would be actually received, The close of the fiscal year disclosed that the estimates aimost exactly dalanced the receipts. It has aiready | deen established that the revenues! for the present fiscal year, exclusive of the direct tax, will exceed by mil- lions those of any year preceding. “There should be in the State treas- ury at the close of the present fiscal year a surplus of from $15,000,000 to 20,000,000, Only inexcusable profil- gacy can prevent the accumulation | of such a surplus. In the light of| facts it ought to be clear that new| State taxation revenues are not needed. “There are signs, however, that the; sume system of management of the, finances which characterized the Administration this year may be continued. The same well intentioned | but incapable minds which projected a direct tax of $20,000,000 last year—- $13,975,000 of which will be paid by New York Clty—aro now urging that | the State maintain a cash reserve! wfficient to meet all appropriation thorisations; or, in other words, hat during h year the Sta should provide enough cash to meet the payments of that year and a large part of the payments of the following year. These minds are so expert that the simple remedy of \fixing the amount of an appropria- tion which could be used in one year never occurred to them, It may be that this policy may appeal to the present Administration. If it does, \the Treasury will carry a great cash \surplus and taxation will be far in excess of actual need “This has occu the past twenty y jthe large cash ible, attractiv | three periods 1 three times in ars, and each time rplus has been vis- and available, The which the large cash surplus was created w also the three periods when State expendi turea instead of increasing gradually, jumped millions at a time because of large appropriations for new pur- poses, A big cash surplus and ex- travagance ‘Inevitably accompany each other “In face of all expertence some ad- |viaers of the Governor are trying to have him provide this large cash sur \pins and such @ policy may be used as a means or justification for new State taxe Urge La Fo! je Act Repeal, An art exhibit {iustrating the Serge in any form Many d and institutions Jung troubles and as @ tonic and body builder,—Adve, tors as well as hospitals! recommend Father!
