The entire work of handling and selling this tood could scarcely have been obtained gratis. But was it reasonable to expect that the city’s gross protits of $708,000 would sift away into the pockets of those who “helped” in the sale until only $124,851 remains—with several hundred claimants for that The Evening World has poinied io certain facts and figures of this professed municipal effort to aid in } the provide in cutting down the cost of living, A bill of $97,815.85 for trucking 2,256 $19,347 $6,444 freigtt expenses, $6,783 legal expenses and $6,607 “miscellaneous” are some of the items that another ot for storage, for stevedoring, figure in the high cost of reducing food costs 4s undertaken by officials ot the Hylan Administration Deputy Commissioners of Markets, salary of $6,500 a year from the city mitted to charge $20 a day for their serv ing the sale of the army food. who sold the food in the public schools did so with the assurance that they could expect $4 per day. Obviously, selling Government food to help the poor offered a fine opportunity to help Hylan make friends—not to speak of turing a few fat jobs to Tammany “standbys” who were already his friends. Just why should this selling of honestly acquired food to cut the cost of living require legal advice to the tune of $6,783? Surely there were no complications or methods involved ooncerning which Hylan officials need have hesitated to consult the city’s own law experts. each with a were per- in aid- Hundreds of women When Congress opens to-morrow, the Agri- eultural “bloc” will be in place to stymie the other entrants tn the Government golf tourna- ment.

Va., have been indicted for the murder of a deputy sheriff In the county border disturbances which led to the calling of Federal troops. ‘Again the company-dominated officials are ad- ministering company law according to company orders. The only strange feature is that the com- paries should be so stupid as to attempt such re- prisals at this time. We have heard nothing of the indictment of the so-called “deputies” who started trouble at Shar- ples after the miners had begun to disband. We shall hear of no indictments of the lawless “depu- tles” whose actions called down the condemnation of Gen. Bandholtz, because they-are dominated by the companies and protected by company courts, company juries and company sheriffs. A trial of the miners under such circumstances would mock justice. It would certainly give rise to renewed hostilities as soon as Federal troops are withdrawn. And Federal troops should not be kept fm the Mingo area to protect the company courts in thelr travesty of law enforcement. Every new move In West Virginia makes for trouble In the future. Every new development proves It would have been wiser to have pro- claimed martial law while the opportunity offered. Wf West Virginia cannot maintain a republican form of government, the Federal authorities are obligated to step in. If a “Force Bill” fs ever fustified, conditions in the coal regions justify all the force required to maintain law and order. Ohio crops are being destroyed by the corn Dorer. And in all the other United States of Volstead grain crops are being mashed every day, “SOLVE IT WITH JOBS.” HEN the city’s new employment office opened yesterday morning there were five @pplicants for every job.

HE Manhattan Blevated lease is an enormous burden on the Interborough. The “L” lines lose money each month, yet the Interbgrough has to pay 7 per cent. return on $60,000,000 of “L”” securities. One course of action open to the Transit Com- mission would force a release of the “L” by the Interborough, leaving the owners of the elevated Ines to operate their own property. This is ob jected to on the ground that the “L” would then be forced to charge a higher fare to clear expenses. But could the “L” afford to charge a higher fare even Hf permitted? It ts highly doubtful. For long stretches the ““L” parallels the subway at a distance of only a block or two. If the “L” charged an 8 or 10 cent fare It would simply result in driving passengers to further overcrowd the subways. “L” recelpts would not increase, because patronage would drop. The “L” and the subway are competitive for the greater part of the area served. A small difference In fare would mean a big difference In patronage. The higher the “L.” fares were set, the smaller the patronage it would have and the smaller the gross return, This situation gives the Transit Commission a club. It would be highly desirable to have the “L” linked even more closely to the Interborough—on fair terms—but the city is not at the mercy of the “L” lines. Rather the “1” is at the mercy of the city. The Transit Commissioner ought to be able to drive a good bargain and squeeze out the water in the contract with the older rapid-transit lines, So far as the “L” lines are concerned, the stress of subway competition under a boosted “L” fare would soon push the elevated lines into the funk pile. Sooner or later the owners of the elevated must be forced to realize this fact TWICE OVERS. “ HE moving picture industry of Los Angeles is very much like a town that had a mining boom and finally developed into a regular producer,” —Capt.
