U. S. Preetige Safe Under Pa
cific Pact, Secretary De

SEES CUT IN TAXES NEAR
n- tli Associated Preaft
Lns AriMtca, Merch 21. Opponents
of the four-Power l'aclftc trtftty were
nccuscd of "lmklriK the bloody shirt"
in an attempt te "find eeme hidden
meaning, some tcrlble subversion of
American right," in th pact, in an ad
dre"s which Herbert Hoever. Secretary
of Commerce, delivered before the Lin
coln Club of Lea Anteles last night.
Mr. Hoever declared the treaty elim
inates causes of friction between na
tions and at the ame time permits
America te reduce the tremendous cost
of naval armament ntrrt still "maintain
a complete defense of the American peo
ple in any event that may come te us."
"The usual bitter controversy has
been raised ever the ratification of this
last attempt of nations te nr;ree upon
practical steps toward peace," he bald.
"These agreements were limited te
the narrow Meld of disarmament in the
belief that there was an Ibsuc upon
which full unity of the American peo
ple could be obtained. There is that
unity, except among a few who prefer
mensurcs of force te measures of geed
wilt in our International relations.
Question of Disarmament
"It seems te me that the simple
question Is, 'De we want dlsarma
merit? If we de went It then it must
be breuRht obetit by OBrcmrnts under
which ether.s reduce their nnna also.
We cannot uncrlfice the safety of
America by quixotic disarmament of
eurelves alone.
Ner is the matter se simple ns an
agreed limitation, and ratios of capital
ships and ether weapons. We must
eliminate the alliances of ether nations,
which, in such agreed combinations,
would again overtop our protection. Fer
beyond this, wc must secure elimination
of the malign causes of friction between
ourselves and our nclghbera before wc
can afford te even discuss the reduction
of our arms,
"In consequence, the Administration
has negotiated a series of agreements
which de eliminate thi onuses of frle-
tien with our neighbors, which de place
us in position te reduce our naval
atrength In common with ethers and te
maintain a complete defense of the
American people In any event that may
come te us. nnd, above all, we start
the train of for forces of reed will,
which are me lounaacien et peace.
Ne Military Alliance
Why all these contentions? Nene

They object te one thing: that is the

center of this contention. It reads very
simply.
j "It has been ussailed as being a
' military-alliance. It Is no such thing.

once agreed that it would accent a res-

I assertion that there Is some hidden islasli Army and Navy
I meaning, some terrible subversion of .
i American rights which they cannot 11-
I iiiminnte except ey puaKing tne Dioeuy
snirt
"These who arc in opposition te this
treaty are thefc who believe that arms
arc the path te peace. The world has
trKl increasing arms for fifty years and
finally killed 10,000,000 men.
Meral Rebuilding or World
"Te me. this is the first effective sten
! in the moral reconstruction of the world.
It Is a real response te a world prayer
for substitution of measures of geed will
for measures of force.
"Leeking at the results solely from
our American point of view, we can
content ourselves in great' accomplish
ments. The jeopardy of war has been
most assuredly driven beyond our gen
eration. Naval rivalry with England
and Japan has been stepped, with all
the Implications, which must fellow
from the rivalry.
"The Angle-Japanese Alliance has
been abolished.
"The points of friction between our
selves and Japan have been settled. The
major differences between China and
Japan have been adjusted. The tide of
foreign aggression en the frontiers of
China has been turned back. The open
deer bes been made effective.
"The world could net go en in rival
ries in implements te kill, rivalries that
were based en growing political Irrita
tions, without entering upon the job of
killing.
Immediate) Tax Reduction
"This is the first precise and sub
stantial contribution in history te the
problem of disarmament. But it is
mere in that it provided an agreed
ratio of strength. This ratio has been
settled en foundations that project the
sensibilities, and interests and enlists
the geed will of the great Powers.
"There are some very practical re
sults. The agreed limitations will bring
an immediate reduction in taxes. Had
we continued the programs we bad be
fore us we would nave spent in twenty
years a sum greater than the German
reparations.
"There it a practical result in
method of the Washington Conference
that should net be overlooked. That is
the demonstration thttt until the world
has solved its overwhelming nnd urgent
problems, the only certainty of defeat
and tangible steps lies in attempting n
narrow group of problems by a limited
number et nations most directly con
cerned In these problems.
"This example will enable the Conti
nent of Europe te enter upon these 6teps
that will yield a reduction of her land
armaments and thus lay the foundations
upon which economic reconstruction can
be safely laid.
HURLEY FOR SHIP "BONUS"
Urges Government Be Liberal Pay

San Francisce, March 21. (By A.

Neither Governer 8preu1, Senater
Vara, Baker nor the friend of Senater
Crewe ew Mr. Orundy anything but the
weight of their opposition and the bur
den of their political disapproval.
Once mere, therefore, as I have said,
it 'a the Orundy-Crew campaign of po
litical hate and discord projected Inte
the affairs of the Republican organiza
tion. It new remains te be seen whether the
opposition can combine en one candi
date. This does net seem possible. A
free-for-all is apparently inevitable for
the governorship.
That Hell will enter the race as a
nominee for the .Senate seems te be a
foregone conclusion.
The Mellen. Oliver interests behind
Majer Heed wi'l be as a gauntlet In the
races or Mayer Magee and Senater lies

Majer Ilced will have the indersement
of the Voters' League. The announce
ment may be expected almost any day.
Beth Chairman Biter and Secretary
Perter, of the League, are announced
as Mr. Grundy's aides.
Glfferd Plnchet is the thorn in the
side of every gubernatorial aspirant.
His manner before the 1200 women of
the League of Women Voters, at the
Bellevue-Stratford captivated hundreds
of delegates.
His, open declaration against the sa
loon and the bootlegger in politics, and
In favor of higher standards of edu
cation, were really sledge hammer blows
from the woman's standpoint.
If Mr. Orundy could secure the with
drawal of Mr. Pinchot from the race he
would have n walk-ever for his can
didate, Commissioner Fisher. Mr.
Fisher nlse made, I gather from differ
ent sources, an excellent impression en
the women voters.
Mr. Plnchet, like Mr. Fisher, comes
from the country. He is popular. His
platform is satisfactory te the women.
There is no question but that he will
draw votes from this source which
etherwise would go te Fisher.
There is net a possibility, however,
as I have already said, of any one of
the candidates: new campaigning for
Governer withdrawing before the pri
maries. The Republican State vote will be
badly Rpllt up nnd the unexpected may
happen.
Mere money will be spent in the com
ing campaign than in any previous

has such strong opposition new that

a way out of its difficulty ever the sol sel

The unexpected shertaje of revenue

C'enjrcss te usuip the authority of the
Executive ever the disposition of the
soldiers and warships of the country.
But in view of the deficit in rcenue,
Congress will have nil the advantage in
this contest.
It is estimated that savings of a
quarter of a billion in nrmy and navy
appropriations can be mnde by rutting
the personnel of both forces, by re
calling American troops from abroad,
reducing garrisons in Hawaii and Pan
ama and practically scrapping mere
than half the destroyers, but even that
foils short of preventing a possible de
ficit nt the end of the next fiscal year of
half a billion.
Borrowing en short-term notes is out
of the question. The Treasury has taken
n firm stand against that kind of bor
rowing te pay the soldiers' bonus, nnd
cannot resort te it te make up a deficit.
Moreover, the Treasury has te refund
Stl.000.000 of the short-tlme notes nnd
bends In the next year and cannot af
ford te add te its difficulties. It bend
nurchasers are net assured that addi
tienal borrowings will net fellow the

will decline te invest In the securities
Mr. Mellen will seen offer them.
Lessens Chance of Benus
This showing of the Treasury lessens
the prospects of the bonus. Members
of the Heuse have been cheerfully talk
ing of paying the soldiers out of econo
mics and out of excess revenues. Ordi
narily revenues de exceed estimates.
Almest invariably taxes have yielded
much mere than was expected of them.
The deficit of this quarter is unprece
dented in the history of the Treasury
Department, but this la the first time
when the income of the Government has
been se closely related te the income of
business.
Behind the project of certificates for
soldiers en which they can borrow from
the banks lies the hepe in Congress that
revenues within the next three years
will greatly exceed estimates and that
the Government will find some way te
take care of the bank leans.
But Cengrecs does net like te tax.
And If additional taxes have te be put

Hemes Are Fired at Fighting Is
Resuiried Early This
Morning
WIRES TO BELFAST CUT
By Ute Associated Press
Belfast, March 21. The situation
along the Ulster-Free State border was
still tense today.
Firing was renewed At 0 o'clock in
the morning from the Free State side
of the frontier, between Aughnacloy
and Celeden. The firing, which wan
from commandeered houses, lasted two
hours. At Dromore, Tyrene, two beuses
were set en fire. One was destroyed.
The border situation la a'dmlttedly
disquieting te the authorities here, 'and
absence of telephone communication
through aClegher Valley is cautluj
anxiety. The northern aids or the bor
der is completely isolated and the only
way Belfast can learn of attacks Is
through Armagh and Fermanagh, which
can be reached Only by motorcar ever
reads considered certain te be obstruct
ed. Hurried efforts are being made te
remedy the deficit.
James Magee was shot by gunmen in
Hardlnge street last nlgbt. Military
forces sent te the scene met a fusillade
of revolver shots under cover of which
the assassins escaped. Magee died to
day. Many carters failed te report for work
today in pretest against the lack of
protection from snipers. As the day ad
vanced the carters' strike became vir
tually cemp'ctc. The city's traffic re
sembled that of the usual Sunday, only
tramenra and bread vans being op
crated. Raiders last evening surrounded
Glcngean' Ledge, the home of Jehn H.
Alllngham, near Trilllck, County Ty Ty
eone, close te the Free State border.
Alllngham opened fire en the raiders
and drove them off. Encountering
Samuel Laird, a worker en the Ailing
ham farm, who also was an Ulster "R"
special constable, they shot and killed
him.
DnWIn. March 21. (By A. P.) A
special meeting of the Dail Kireejin
Cabinet has been called for tonight te
consider the nituntien in Belfast and
en the Ulster-Free State border. Mes
sages from the northern frontier indi
cate both sides ara perfecting war ar
rangements. Twe mere bridges have been blown
up, near Sttabane, County Tyrene, and
telephone poles cut down and thrown
across the read. Civilians continue te
move across the border, fearing an out
break of hostilities. i
'Die Dall publicity department issued
a statement of alleged aggression by
Ulster special constables, Including
damage te property. It said .Tamw
McHugh, a farmer, was forced te his
knees and ordered te curse the Pepe
and the King nnd say "Ged bless the
specials." He refused and a volley was
fired ever his head. Constables in meter.

Te Abolish Skip -Steps

"It is our desire te satisfy these who

Sees Self-Supervision
"Their check ns te adequacy of serv
ice is sure and constant ns compared
te the customary periodical tabulation
of traffic. Self-supervision must be
made te supplement the present street
inspection, since none knew better than
the train crews themselves their leav
ing time and the exact minute et their
due-time at nny point.
"Ne amount of Inspection by super
visors can se well insure the regularity
of cars os can the crews themselves once
they sense their new responsibility.
"Emplejes, who are new owners, nre
relied upon te effect this greater neeem- ,
plishment. net only in order te gain the I
co-operative wage dividend, but also te
Justify the confidence of these whose
property has been placed In our hands."
In concluding his statement, Mr.
Mitten invited constructive critclsm
from stockholders and each will receive
a copy of each issue of the company's
"Service Talks" and a suggestion card.
Motorman Gives Views
Mr. Mitten's statement appeared in
today's issue of "Service Talks." which
also contained expressions of praise
from cer riders who have noticed im
provement in service en various lines.
The value of the co-operative plan
was commented en In the same issue In
a statement from Alfred C. Kellogg, a
motorman.
"We believe In co-eperntlon our
chief believes in it brought it into be
ing," wrote Kellogg. "It Is en trial
in a new and vast undertaking. Yeu
have staked your dollars en the out
come. New give your best thought and
action te make that outcemo success
ful."
The company publication also con
tained this extract from the EvErn.NO
Puni.10 Ledeeii:
"Insurgent directors, slowly recov
ering from the shock, are new con
vinced there was a brick In that Mit
ten."
City May Oppose Benus
Legality of the bonus which the com
pany proposes te pay its empleyes un
der conditions recently named by Mr.
Mitten is questioned by Mayer Moere.
The Mnj or objected te the reading of
the tjpnus into the record at a meeting
of Beard of Directors of the company
yesterday, no was overruled.
Mayer Moere, who was te have con
sulted this morning with City Solicitor
Smyth concerning the bonus, instead
sent te the City Solicitor a request for
an opinion as te the right et Mr. Mit
ten te offer empleyes or ethers a divi
dend in excess of 0 per cent, which
is te be earned for the stockholders.

ceedlng hit power In making tills .'offer.
urem tne tone or tne Mayer s inter
it. is apparent that he feels, inquiry Is
needed concerning the legal phases of
the question in view of the fact that
Mr. Mitten had obtained an oelnion
from former Judge Gorden. Justifying!
his rights te allot earnings la excess
of 0 per cent, In violation, It Is as
serted, et tne 1UU7 agreement.
The Mitten Benus Plan
Mr. Mitten's nronesal te the men at
the time of the Ice Palace meeting was
in the following terms:
"-The plan walch l propose te suemit
for approval of P. It. T. stockholders
provides m.t cwpwau-f vupiujcs it-
celve inf recognition of co-operative ac
complishment, a co-operative dividend,
limited te tee added net Income pro
duced, but net te exceed In amount 10
per cent of P. B. T. payroll,
"Payment of 0 per cent P. R. T.
dividend Is te be first accomplished, fol
lowed by co-operative dividend, te P. II.
T empleyes."
Mayer Moere bases his inquiry en
the following clause in the 1007 agree
ment: "The company shall net declare or
Say any dividends te Its stockholders
eyend the .return of 0 per cent per
annum cumiilatlvp from January 1.
1007, en the actual amount of capital
paid into the treasury in cash, calcu
lated from the date of the several pay
ments, without at the same time appro
priating from earnings nnd surplus and
paying into the City Treasury. a sum
equal te tnat portion et tne total divi
dend which Is in excess of the said fl
per cent return, se that the city shall
share with the stockholders equally in
all net earnings properly distributable
ns dividends ever and beyond the return
of 0 per cent per annum cumulative
from January 1, 1007, upon the paid
in capital stock of the company"
Says Benus Is Legitimate
A man in close touch with transit
affairs says that the payment of the
bonus is fully justified.
"All it amounts te," he explained,
"is simply nn increase In wngee. The
men will sret this increase If thev nre
able te make ccrtnlncconemice. If they
can't de this their wages will net be
Increased; they will get no bonus."
Anether man, familiar with the city's
side et the case, said that the Mayer's
leint is wnecner nr. Mitten is able,
cgnlly. te nay a co-encratlve dividend
te the empleyes.
He said further that the 1007 agree
ment between the city nnd the company
provides that after a 0 per cent divi
dend has been paid te stockholders, the
city Is te receive one-half of the com
pany's profits.
That proviso, he added, at once raises
the question whether the company could
legally pay a co-operative dividend or
bonus te its empleyes nfter n fl ner
cent dividend had been declared and
before or without sharing; the remain
der of its profits with the city.
Colonel Hlieltfen Petter, a cltv renrc-
sentatlve en the P. It. T. Benrd of Di
rectors, said he intends examining the
100" contract with respect te the pro
posed co-operative dividend payment.
Until he examines the contract, he ex
plained, he will net comment.

Last Stage of Leng Period of

LENT SPEAKER AT KEITH'S
"TfcAri ara man anil Women In PUllO-

rotten tree.' aald the BOV. Dr. Viarence
Edward Macartney in a Lenten addrers
at neon today, at Keith's Theatre, en
"Our Unknown Selves and new wen
Fall;" v
He was telling hew men and women
sometimes commit sins which they be be
Ueve held no temptation te them.
"Men fali Within, before their' own
eyes, long before they fall In the sight
of the world," said Dr. Macartney. "On
an nufumn day, tramping through the
weeds, you have set your feet en the
trunk of a fallen tree. The moment
mur wilaht came upon, the bark It gave
war anil veur feet crashed through the
rotten heart of the thing. "The collapse

was sudden, out tne reuiu, i " -
was net sudden. It was the work of
months nnd years."
He said that the men and women who
are llke the rotten tree "are simply
waiting for the heel of temptation te
ceme down upon .them before they give
Wn"Thelr friends," he said, "will weep
bitter tears and. say: 'Hew sudden.
Who would have thought It?' But it
was net sudden. It was but the last
inevitable stage of a long .process of
mernl decline nnd deterioration."
Then he sa'ld that the best possible
defense against temptation Is te have
Christ within the heart.
"Temptation," he said, "finds the
Christ-filled heart as the spark finds the
ice or the stene or the water when it
falls. But the careless, world-filled,
pleasure-loving heart is like a powder
magazine when the spark touches It.
The importance of realising Individ
ual responsibility for the actions of the
group was emphasized by the Rev.
Rcmsen B. Ogllby, Lenten preacher to
day at Old Christ Church, Second street
above Market. .
"Jehn Sargeant. In Ills painting of
'The Crucifixion' in the Bosten Public
Library," he said, ''pictures Christ
nailed te the cress, with symbolic figured
of Adam nnd Eve lashed te him. That
expresses the idea that the Savier of
the world carried en his shoulders the
sins of the humnn race.
"Following out thnt idea we reelwc
thnt individual members of nny group
must feel responsibility for incorporate
Uilngs of the group.
"Under autocratic government, indi
viduals can rightly complain bitterly
against the wrongs of their government.
But under n democratic form of gov
ernment, nil individuals can de is te
confess nnd ask pardon for wb.nt Is,
in theory, his own fault.
"The recent extension of suffrage te

fied this situation, in thnt it makes our
Government just that much mere demo
cratic. .. ,

New Zealand. He shows the peril of
the situation where the functions of the
State hove been widely extended, but
where individuals de net feel any read
iness te assume the burdens that mem
bers of a democracy must carry.
"Here In this historic building one
of the first shrines of our national life,
in the city that saw the birth of our
united country, we de well te fall en
our knees and nsk Ged te forgive the
sins of the American people."

by Dr. James Empringham, of Yenk-

Church. Tenth street above Chestnut.
"This book has actually been the puz-J
