F< AN ORGANIZATION of taxicab owners and : A drivers is seeking to boost fares under the Guise of “standardization.” The public has fair warning of a campaign to put an end to competition in taxi rates and service. The talk about “safety” and “uniform painting” of ¢abs is about the thinnest pretext on record. Higher fares is the one and only object of the combination ffected at a meeting in Tammany Hall Tue: evening. There is good reason for maximum fare limita- tion to prevent piracy. There is no reason what- ever for fixing a minimum, for standardizing the fare. So long as taxi companies cannot get monopo- Uistic franchises, the city is safe against a corporate tendency to boost prices under monopoly. It does “not take a large investment to engage in the taxi | business. If established companies raise prices, new ~ competition will spring up. No standardization in taxi fares. No compulsory fare boosts for those who are willing to operate at low rates. The public should veto any such legis- lation before it has a chance to start. WATCH OUT.

It also makes clearer the only ultimate cure for this and similar situations, As matters now stand, the railroad executives on the one hand and the railroad workers on the other profess to be ready to stage a fight on the prostrate body of the publ H Each side hopes to gain whatever advantage may accrue from the public’s efforts to escape the | torture. The Railroad Labor Board, the public’s most carefully devised protection and hope to date, is scorned by both sides. The Pennsylvania Railroad defies it. The railroad unions give it but half an-ear. Some bigger tribunal is needed, with more power behind it—some impressive court of justice before which railroads and their employees can be called with the understanding that its decisions are final and that defiance of its orders can no more expect popular support or defense than conspirac law and order. If either party to a dispute refuses to go before this court, its refusal is admission that its demands against be imagined is the practice of reaching through open windows of “L” trains to grab furs from women passengers who haven't even a chance to protect themselves or to pursue the thief when the train is on its way. The police have captured one of these thieves, + and it should go hard with him. Detection of this sort of robbery should be prompt and the punishments meted out should discourage others. Meantime, women will do weil to exercise care when sitting near open windows and re- port such losses promptly. WHAT HE WILL SEE | ORWAY has tried Prohibition. But Norway has kept its head and not de- livered itself into the hands of a fanatical 99% per / cent. Prohibition which cannot be enforced. Norway has declared by referendum, for an 88 per cent. Prohibition, which permits the sale and consumption ‘of alcoholic drinks containing up to 42 per cent. of alcohol. Norway did not apply to an Anti-Saloon League for this standard. Norway appfied to science and the laboratory. From the results of 1,130 labora- tory fests, Norway decided upon the 12 per cent. limit as compatible with public health and safety. The Evening World printed yesterday these and other interesting facts which it obtained directly from Dr. Yon Alfred Mjoen, director of the Win- deren Laboratorium near Christiania, who conduet- ed the experiments upon which Norwegian Prohi- bition standards were based. This distinguished Norwegian scientist is now in this country. While here he will have opportunity to observe the wretched farce of Prohibition based on fanatic ism instead of science. He will see zealots striving to legislate and tax alcohol out of medicine and industry in their rage at finding their 99% per cent. Prohibition laws © command neither obedience nor respect. He will see public officials, legislators, even + Judges, jovially transgressing laws which they re- fuse to take serious! % He will see Prohibition agents changed monthly, or oftener, because they cannot be relied upon to enforce regulations which rest upon no popular will or sanction. In a word, he will see Prohibition in the United States. And he will take back with him to Norway new are not just but predatory. The country has been feeling its way toward such a tribunal, It will never approach security from menace like the present uniil a Supreme Court of Labor is thought out and established. WHAT'S TAXES ANYHOW ? ?OS of taxes in this city, Mr. Curran “very busines man who paid $100 in taxes four years ago has got to pay $165 to- day. To hear Mr. Hylan when he was out catching votes in 1917 you would bave thought thai where one paid $100 taxes in 1917 he might save you $10; that you would pay only $90 in 19 Instead of saving you $10 he has soaked you with increase of $65." But any business man who pitches into the Hylan Administration on the score of taxes must be, by Hylan reckoning, “the tool of a gang of heart- less traction jobbers and underworld interests"—who either don’t pay taxes or can well afford to pay them. No poor but honest man would ery out, even if his taxes were doubled, so long as his Faithful Friend beams on him from the City Hall. an Anthracite coal prices are “out of line with other necessities of life,” the New York Trust Company decides after an investigation. Retail prices are 100 per cent. above the 191¢ level. Wholesale prices are per cent. higher than in 1913, And when we consider that anthracite prices have always been “out of line”—-in 1913 as well as in 1921--the case against the monopolistic anthracite combine is even worse than the trust company makes it appear, NIGHT SCHOOL FOR LAUNDRYMEN. UDGING by what every man knows and J growls about, there is a wide field for the course in laundering which started last evening at the Washington Irving High School. If Prof. Holder of Yale can demonstrate better ways of cleaning shirts and collars without grind- ing them to pieces he will earn the soulful thanks of multitudes. Replacement of linen is a serious item of expense in a city where home-washing is difficult. This difficulty makes laundries essential. | HE refusal of the railroad brotherhood chiets YHE EVENING WOnmkLd, todbas, vetvbia 41, vei, ee wa Good Luck for Ne w York City! | got into the campaign. | ited Governor became a Mayoralty Campaigns or -Greater N. Y. By Baldwin O’ Donnell Copyright, 1921 by the Prom Publishing Ca New York ‘Evening World.) Vi—1913. The Mayoralty campaign of 1913, which resulted in the élection of John Purroy Mitchel, was one of the most heartbreaking ever lost by Tammany, because it appeared at the outset that the Hall could not lose. Gaynor, de- nied a renomination, had decided to go it alone. The Fustonists, with the Republican indorsement, had put up Mitchel. Tammany had nominated Justice Edward McCall. With three candidates in the ficld, all Democrats, it appeared on figures that the organ ized vote of Tammany should win. It was at the outset a fight of the well- organized machine against a divided house. McCall, who had left the bench to become head of the Public Service Commission, had been the lialsom officer between Murphy and Gov. Sulzer, Mitchel had left the office of the President of the Board of Alder- men to become Collector of the Port under President Wilson. Murphy had had Sulzer impeached and had rade of him a temporary political martyr. Mayor Gaynor, who had been shot while about to sail for Europe a couple of- years betore, still carried a bullet in hig throat, He was far from well when he decided to enter the cam- paign, Tammany figured it was Gay- nor that to be beaten and did not believe he would be able to make a strenuous campaign, ‘The death of Gaynor beture the campaign was well under way shifted the cut consider- ably. So.no of those who had been with Gaynor tried to sail the Gaynor movement into a Tammany harbor und partly succeeded, A part of the Gaynor machine in the break-up went to Mitchel and the fight became one between McCall and Mitchel. It was at this juncture that Sulzer The discred- candidate from his olu district for the Assembly. Sulzer’s attacks on McCall swung thousands cf votes to Mitchel on the east side. John A.
