EASE XAVAL REFORM.
In its January number "The En
ginecrinp Magazine" editorially reviews
Secretary Meyer's plan for the reor
ganization of the navy, giving special
prominence to its opinions by placing
them ahead of the contributed articles
printed in the same issue. As will be
remembered by these who recall a
*hort extract from an advance proof
which. The Tribune recently used, "The
Knsineering Magazine" has criticised
Mr. Newberrys programme as having
l>een tastily forme*! and unfortunate la
the effects which it threatened. On the
Other hand, to the deliberation with
which Mr. Meyer has proceeded and to
the sanity of the recommendations made
by the Swift board its gives the hearti
««t approval.
"The Engineering Magazine*' lays
stveip on the fact that in selecting four
aids ho are to act in an advisory ca
pacity and who are to be members of
the General Boa rd the Secretary makes
no attempt to establish a general staff.
Th^se men are clothed with no execu
tive authority whatever. They are
tnrrely ' officers who by long experience
and by freedom from the hampering
routine of other duties will be excep
tionally qualified to give valuable coun
eel. Besides, it is understood that the
head? of bureaus v.ill still have access
to the bead of the department.
Washington dispatches to The Trib
une indicate that in the Hou:»e Com
mittee on Naval Affairs Secretary
Meyer's plan ris now being regarded
with more favor than it received at
first Do— C of the doubts previously
entertained concerning its effects are
disappearing in consequence of patient
inquiry and intelligent response. For
instance. it is becoming evident that
the constructors will not, as tome of
them feared, be little more than drafts
men, but will have increased responsi
bility. Perhaps" a similar change will
occur in that stronghold of conserva
tism, the Senate Naval Committee,
after the House has finished its work.
In any case, tho views of "The Engi
neering Magazine," a technical publica
tion of the highest standing, deserve the
careful consideration of members of
both houses of Congress. The American
people take an Immense pride in their
navy and heartily sympathize with
every effort to Increase its efficiency by
improved methods of administration.
They will note with peculiar satisfac
tion the forecast of "The Engineering
Magazine" that Mr. Meyer's "name will
"go down as that of one of the great
"secretaries and great administrators
"in the history of the United States
"navy."
ith'. I AfT AXD THE RAILROADS.
President Taft's proposals in regard
to amending the interstate commerce
act had been foreshadowed In his
speeches and those of his Attorney Gen
eral, and upon some of them wo have
already commented in referring to the
recent report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The most impor
tant recommendation of the message
sent to Congress yesterday is that for
the creation of an Interstate Commerce
Court, to which nil appeals from the
Interstate Commerce Commission's de
cisions shall go. *r..e object of the
establishment of such a court, is to
hasten the disposal of railroad oases— to
reduce "the law's delay." That is so
laudable an end that public opinion is
likely to he enlisted in its support. The
railroads are said to object to an Inter
state Commerce Court on the ground
that it would be only a "second com
mission." that it would take different
views of the- law from those tnk«n by
the courts to which they now have ac
cess and tb;*t those views would be
likely to be favorable to the Interstate
Commission and unfavorable to the
railroads. But. inasmuch as appeals
from the decisions of the proposed court
would go to the Supreme Court and it
would have to he guided by the law as
laid down by that court, tins objection
Las no great force.
The particular increase in the author
ity of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission recommended by Mr. Tuft
which will meet with tbe greatest op
position will be the conferring upon thai
body of the right to initiate Investiga
tions into individual rates without the
complaint of a shipper and to initiate
inquiries into changes in rates and clas
sification of rates on notice of such
ehangee. The former extension of au
thority appears reasonable enough and
can hardly be of great practical im
portance, for there surely can be no
lack of prompt complaints regarding
excessive or discriminatory rates. The
latter doubtless aims both at expediting
tbe determination of the justice of
changes ami at further protecting the
shipper.
As it is now. thp railroads can tile
several thousand changes in rates at one
time. The cotumissiou must wait for
them to go into effect, and can in
vestigate each change separately only
as a complaint is made upon each in
dividual rate. Obviously, it is difficult
to see bow the determination of the jus
tice of rates can keep pace with rate
making. As The Tribune once said, the
railroads can make rates by the whole
sale, while tbe commission can investi
gate only at retail. To meet this situa
tion it has been proposed that tho com
mission have authority to suspend the
operation of such general changes in
schedules until it has investigated and
determined their justice or decided
what rates are just. But this avoids one
difficulty only by creating another— the
placing upon the commission of a task
beyond its powers, namely, that of de
termining the justice and propriety of
a prodigious number of rates in a rea
sonably brief time.
Mr. Taft sees the force of this objec
tion to conferring what would virtually
be rate making power on the commis
sion, and concludes that the authority
to suspend changes in rates should be
granted only In "a very limited and re
stricted form." He therefore would
have the commission empowered to in
vestigate at once upon notice of change
Of rates, and at its discretion to post
pone for sixty days the date on which
the proposed rates would go into effect,
the changes to beeotue effective then if
the investigation is incomplete. This
may be ■ practicable compromise,
though it? advantages to the public can
hardly bo judged without an actual
test. The difficulties in the way of a
single body of regulators confronted by
the possibility of s change of two hun
dred thousand rates at once are evi
dently inherent. As to the other changes
in the railroad law recommended by
Mr. Taft. we have at other times suf
ficiently indicated r<ir opinion.
AS TO THE TRUSTS.
President Taft's opinion in regard to
the Sherman anti-trust act has under
gone some change in the last year. In a
Speech made a year ago be declared that
modification of that act would be re
quired, but he has now come to the con
clusion that, as defined by the courts in
various cases, it does not interfere with
the legitimate development of business.
He writes :
It is possible for the owners of a busi
ness of manufacturing and selling: use
ful articles of merchandise so to conduct
their business as not to violate the. in
hibitions of the anti-trust law and yet
to secure to themselves the benefit of the
economies of management and of pro
duction due to the concentration under
one control of large capital and many
plants. If they us« no other Inducement
than the constant low price of their
product and its good quality to attract
custom, and their business Is a profitable
one, they violate no lav.
If this is true, certainly no amend
ment is required. The law should not
bar this country from the advantages to
be gained by industrial concentration,
nor should it permit the great power that
resides in a centralized industry to be
abused. Mr. Taft says the Sherman act
meets those requirements. At any rate,
it is perhaps well to wait until the Su
preme Court has rendered a decision
which will be a bar to the benefits of
combination in business before making
any change iv a law which is being
gradually clarified by judicial decisions.
1 With regard to the President's sug
gestion of a national incorporation law
for industrial companies opinion will be
Blow in Coming. The message is neces
sarily much too general to permit of the
formation of an intelligent opinion with
out study of the text of the proposed
law. Such a phrase as "protecting them
"[the corporations] from undue inter
ference by the states," natural and suit
able in a message, is an example of gen
eral instead of specific language upon a
point in which the states will feel vitally
interested. The aim of federal incorpora
*»SV-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. JANUARY 8, 1910.
tlon is highly desirable By this process
tuo federal regulation of corporations In
interstate trade might be systematized
n "d extended. The abuse Of excessive,
issues of stock and bonds l>r Industrial
companies, which the state* ive done
little or nothing to chec" . might be
stopped by Mr. T;ift's plan. The publicity
for which it calls might also prove some
check upon excessive charges for their
products by the corporations, and from
the point of view of the corporations
themselves uniformity of- regulation in
place of the multifarious requirements
of state laws would be a desirable object.
But the subject is full of 'difficulties,
as Mr. Taft himself concedes In his mes
sage. It bristles with constitutional
questions. For example, in the Knight
ease the Supreme Court decided that
manufacturing was not Interstate trade,
even though the manufactured product
entered Into interstate trade. Can Con
gress, then, under the interstate com
merce section of the Constitution, charter
a manufacturing corporation? Mr. Tafr
alludes to this constitutional difficulty,
but adds that "under ■ recent decision"
Congress apparently has the power.
The inducement that would operate to
make corporations take out these volun
tary charters would be a desire to escape
state regulation. But it is impossible to
see without further elucidation than Mr.
Taft. affords in his message how federal
incorporation would alter the states* au
thority in the premises. The boundaries
between state and federal authority are
constitutional and would not bo affected
by the proposed device.
".I LIVING EXAMPLE.
The death of the pastor of the. Brick
Presbyterian Church, yesterday, ended
a life of much sweetness and beauty
and a public career of more than ordi
nary usefulness to the community.
There are probably other ministers in
this city who are better known to the
general public, but it may be doubted
if there is one -who has labored more
earnestly or more efficiently to do the
real work of the pastor of a numerous,
needful and exact ing congregation. The
church which was his is one of the his
toric churches of New York, and it is
one which has not declined with age
but rather has continued to increase
in numbers and influence, in the variety
and scope of its activities, and therefore
in the demands which it makes upon
its pastor's time and (strength. How
well Dr. Richards served it. as spiritual
exhorter and guide, as intellectual in
structor, as administrator of practical
affairs and in the tender and intimate
personal relationships of sympathy and
consolation, cannot he told but must he
deeply realized by those who had the
privilege of association with him.
The example of his life affords what
should be a convincing answer to those
who are quaveringly inquiring how
the churches are to be filled and how
the people are to bo interested in them.
Here was a preacher who sought no
adventitious aids to attract attention,
yet who never lacked a great and
deeply interested congregation. Here
was a pastor who never indulged in
exploits outside the limits of pastoral
duty, yet who never was distressed by
desertions from his parish. Here was
a religious teacher who sought no new
fantasies of faith and who discarded
none of the vital and robust doctrines
of bis belief, and yet who never had
occasion to lament the decline of faith
or the failure of Christianity to lay
hold upon the hearts and lives of men
and women. His was a living example
of the way In which to . make the
churches prosperous and Christianity a
triumphant force in the world: and it
will remain a living and potent exam
ple in his death as it was in his life.
NEUTRALIZING MA\CHVRIA\ RAIL
ROADS.
The neutralizing of the Mauchuriaii
raUroads, which were built and are now
owned and controlled by alien powers,
would l»c a taking "t" those controlling
and sometimes contending powers at
their word. Both Russia and Japan
have repeatedly and earnestly declared
that they have no tilierior designs of
military strategy In retaining control
of their respective paits of the system.
They want to protect their pecuniary
Investments and also to guard against
the employment of the roads t<> their
harm. That is all. We may give them
credit for sincerity, and we must con
cede that the designs and desires thus
expressed are reasonable and void of
offence. But it is apparent that the cuds
in view could probably be reached and
maintained through the plan Just
broached more surely and securely
than through a continuation of the sys
tem of separate and alien ownership
which now prevails. There seems to be
no good reason why the new plan
should'not be accepted by the interested
powers.
Turning to the affirmative side, thelfe
are several strong reasons why sucb a
chance of ownership and control is Ho
sirable. It would remove from the in
ternational relations of the Fax East
r. potential and menacing source of fric
tion. Already there have been com
plaints of Japanese aggression and in
vidious discrimination on the Japanese
part of the system, and of similar action
by Russia on the Russian part. AVith
out attempting to determine what
ground in fact there is for these com
plaints, it may bo observed that it is
practically inevitable that they will be
made from time to time as long as the
present control prevails. If it is not
human nature for the Japanese a;id
Russian proprietors respectively to
favor their own people — we are in
clined to think that it is. unconsciously,
if not, consciously— it certainly it for
others to suspect them of it; and it is
obvious that the practice or even the
suspicion of it must militate against the
faithful fulfilment <n' that "open door"
policy to which the nntious are commit
ted.
The proposed arrangement, under
which China would become at least the
titular owner of the roads, would also
accord with the wise and rational pol
icy of respect for the sovereignty and
integrity of that empire. China has en
tered, sincerely and earnestly, upon a
new era of constitutional government,
in which equity certainly, and we be
lieve the general Interest of the world,
will demand that she shall have the en
couragement and support of her neigh
bors. She has already reacquired vari
ous important concessions »nd proper*
tie& which had been granted to foreign
ers, and it is desirable, for her own self
respsct. that she shall do go a* widely
and as generally as possible. There is
probably nothing which would more
confirm her in her sense of sovereignty
or which would more assure her of the
sincerity of the powers in their talk
about respecting her sovereignty and
territorial integrity than to permit her
to purchase the Manchuriaa railroads,
■which under alien ownership have been
and gre a constant menaco to her and
which have been and might again be n
cause of war. If "China for the Chi
nese.'* is to be realized, and If the "open
door and equal opportunities" are to
prevail, Chinese proprietorship of Chi
nese railroads will need to be estab
lished.
OTHEI! EXEMPTIONS DESIRABLE.
Governor Hughes has fixed the ntten
tion of the country 0B one serious defect
in the income tax amendment — that it
fiiils to exempt from the taxing power
of Congress iin-ome from the bonds of
states, counties and municipalities. It
has been decided by the Supreme Court
that Interest received on such securities
ought not to be included in income ta*
alilc by the general government. Ratifi
cation of the amendment. In its present
form, would remove n salutary restric
tion on the federal authority and reverse
a condition from which the states have
greatly benefited.
It has been suggosled that the amend
ment might be made acceptable by % a
change of language which would exempt,
returns from state, municipal and county
bonds from federal taxation. Such a
change would cure tie one defect which
Governor Hughes emphasized. But there
axe other defects of a similar character
which ought to be cured In any redraft
of the amendment. It would be well, we
think, to extend the exemptions so that
Congress would tind itself debarred, fia
it is now. from taxing the salary of the
President, of any federal judge or of any
State officer. It might be advisable also
to safeguard income from interest on
United States bonds, now exempt "<l by
statute from taxation.
The Supreme Court has ruled in
several cases that it is derogatory to the
sovereignty of the state, and in violation
of the relations of mutual support which
should exist between the states and the
nation, that Congress should interfere in
any way with the compensation allowed
by the states to their own officers. If
the pending amendment is faulty in sub
jecting the securities of the states to
federal taxation, it is also faulty in per
mitting Congress to diminish th*» salaries
of state officers, now protected by con
stitutional construction. The Constitu
tion says that the President's compensa
tion shall not be increased or reduced
during his term of office and that the
compensation of federal judges shall not.
be decreased during their terms. The
income tax law of 1883 apparently In
cluded The salaries of federal judges
among thos*» subject to a .*» per eeut
deduction at the hands of the Treasury
Department, and Chief Justice Taney
felt called upon to write a letter to
Secretary chase declaring that such a
penalization was in his opinion unconsti
tutional. He explained that an informal
protest was necessary, be-^ause the judges.
being all concerned, could not property
hear or determine in their official capac
ity the question of constitutionality. Tlv
income tax section of the Wilson-Gorman
law of 1894 specifically exempted the
compensation received by the President.
the federal judges and officers of states.
Had it not done so the Supreme Court
wruld undoubtedly hare found three
mure counts against it. Why should nor
the proposed amendment recognize the
propriety of these established exemp
tion*, which everybody concedes to be
reasonable and desirable?
It may be said that Congress will
never care to levy a tax on interest de
rived from United States securities. Yet
thfl income tax laws of the Civil War
period did impose such a tax. Since the
refunding act, interest on the govern
ment's bonds, except on its Pacific Rail
road bonds, has been exempted by con
tract with the holder. But that contract
would be at least potentially invalidated
by the ratification of an amendment to
the Constitution giving Congress power
to tax income from any source whatever.
The government would be only taxing
itself if it imposed a tax to be collected
on the interest of bonds still to l>e float
ed. It would l»e breaking a solemn pledge
if it taxed interest on the bonds which
it had previously Issued with a promise
Of immunity from all taxation.

William Seltgrman. the venerable banker,
who died in Paris on Thursday, whs for
many years a conspicuous figure at the
Fourth of July celebrations In thit city,
■where he was th« dean of the. American
C%SSIMr of Commerce. A few days before
the celebration In 1905 a member of the
Tribune staff called on him. He was en
gaged in writing his Fourth of July ad
dross—actually writing tt. refusing the aid
of a stenographer, despite hl« eighty-three
years. "I like this." he said, handing to
the newspaper man a closely written sheet
on which he had marked this paragraph:
"The time is approaching: when there will
exist but one religion, namely. th<- religion
of justice, truth and charity, having as its
foundation tho Golden Rule." On account
of the death of John Hay the celebration
did not take place, but Mr. Sellgman's ad
dress was printed and circulated by his
admirers.
"What's the matter?" exc'aimed Sap
phira with wifely solicitude. "You seem
utterly dejected."
"I am," replied Ananias. "I can't help
thinking of the opportunities I miss by
having been born too soon to go out and
lecture as a North Pole discoverer."—Wash

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
OPERA UNDER OTHER NAMES.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Kindly Kive mo information in re
gard to theatrlrrO matters that will enable
me to obtain com» relief from a much dis
puted question.
If a book or novel Is produced on the
stage in the form of a play it is expressed
as dramatized or a dramatization of a book.
What terra will express the same idea
when a drama is set to music and produced
as an opera?
For example, such plays as "Othello,"
"La Toeca," "Carmen" and other similar
plays.
Can it be expressed as operatlcatlon, or as
a musical adaptation, or as an operatic
adaptation?
What is the proper term that expresses
the subject In question?
Kindly let me know as soon hs po<ciiiie.
and oblige. SYLVAN" BCHBNTHAI*
Baltimore, Dec. 2S, IMS.
[If It were allowable^© follow the rule
of construction which has given us such
words as "dramatize" and "dramatiza
tion" the terms which the correspondent
is looking: for would no doubt be "opera
tize" and "operatization." Fortunately,
we have- been spared such abominations.
As it is. such a circumlocution «*s th*?
correspondent suggests is better than the
Words? which might bf> made by rule; and
for this reason: "Opera," as a term indi
cating: a play that Is sung, is Itself an
abbreviation. When the term came into
musical literature it was "opera in
musica," that Is, "a musical work."
Other terms were "opera per musica,"
(a work for music), "scenlca per musica"
(scene for music), "regia rd esemplo per
musica" (rule and example for music),
"drama per nni!*lca." "tragedia per
musica" and "melodramnia." Modern
composers, both French and Italian, have
shown a disposition to get back to early
designations under the leadership of
Wagner, who invented the term "musik
drama" as an equivalent for the German
"Oper." Thus, Verdi called "Alda" an
"Opera in quattro Atti"; but his "Otello"
he designates as a "Dramma lirico" and
his "Falstaff" as a "Commedia lirica."
Puccini calls "Tosca" a "Melodramma"
and "Madama Butterfly" a 'Tragedia
Giapponese." Cilea found a long cir
cumlocution necessary to describe his
"Adriana Lecouvreur." It is a "Com
medla-drarnma di E. Scribe ed E. Lo
gouvc. ridotta in quattro Atti per la
tcena lirica da A. Colautti, musica di
Francesco Cilea." — Ed.l
COMMENDATION AND WARNING.
To tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The absence from your columns of
any commendatory letters from your sub
scribers on the exposure of conditions here
tofore locked In official flies of our late
administration places the general public In
a strangely lnappreciative position. In so
ber language, devoid of all sensationalism,
you are showing them where the money la
going and where it has gone.
Highly paid, if not heavily oathed. offi
cials sit supine and defer action, because
action might not be looked on with favor
by the corporation concerned. The tax
payers smilingly pay their taxes— and their
railroad fares— and read publicity agents'
statements of the great good that is to
follow further expenditures of municipal
money« for railroad Improvements'.
In the mean while the public official to
whom we are indebted that tills money In
dispute has not yet been spent is out of
oftVe. uncommended; also another, and un
regrettably so, as one who aligned with an
adverse interest. Let a greater public spirit
arouse and commend the one (and the
paper that strayed from local newspaper
routine to give the public the facts) to the
extent that a new era may be developed —
the era of non-sensational publicity, in
commendation and warning to the two
classes of public officials your Interesting
researches have developed!
More power to your pen!
Svn Yorfc. Jan. *>. 1910. TAXPAYER.
ZIONISM.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As one who has been Identified with
the Jewish-Palestinian colonization move
ment—and Zionism, its child— from its start
at the gathering of the best elements of
continental European Jewry at Kattowltz,
Silesia, in J««3. to its climax reached with
the advent and death of Dr. Herzl (1897
190l>, I fully agree with what you have to
say on the subject of Zionism in your yes
terday's leader, entitled "Not Persuaded."
Zionism shares the fate of all idealist
causes whose, official organizations are
captured by materialist selr-seekcrs. They
serve tho latter as stepping stones toward
the attainment of their own petty and sor
did ambitions, and the ensuing demoraliza
tion of such movements, naturally, repels
the very elements that have fathered them
and brought them to life.
You are also perfectly right in disabusing
the mind of your unnamed correspondent
as to his exaggerated idea of the Impor
tance and popularity of Zionism even
among the Jewish masses at present. These
masses instinctively, if not intelligently,
feel that there is something rotten in th©
state of official Zionism to-day, and, there
fore, Justly remain indifferent, if not hos
tile. In short, Zionism, swayed as it is
under its present administration by a mer
cenary materialist spirit, is bound to i,,.
fast losing Us power of moral suasion for
both Jew and Gentile alike.
The title of your leader, "Not Persuaded,"
Is indeed very apropos In the premises.
