The State's Excessive Sinking Funds.
In the State sinking funds, accord
ing to computations as of September
80, 1014, the last day of the tiscal
yenj, there was n surplus of
f22,053,001.'Jl nn excess of that law
amount over tho sums necessary tu
pay tho chnrnes they lire maintained
to accommodate. According to n re
jiort made yesterday to the Constitu
tional Convtmtlou this surplus now
amounts to f20.000.000. Unless some
chango Is made It will Increase an
nually, an unnecessary Intrden on the
citizens and n serious menace to hon
est administration.
This situation was brought about
by changes In the Stato's tluauclal sys
tem after the authorization of bond
Issues and provision for their retire
ment. The contributions to tho funds
were not, nud by sonic It Is asserted
that they could not be, adjusted to the
new conditions; nud according to some
authorities there have also been seri
ous errors In flgurlm; the needs of th
funds. The result 1ms been an In
creasing unnecessary nccnmuliitlon of
money, useless to the State's credi
tors and harmful to the Statu In all
Its effects.
Nothing should be done, and no
person In or out of authority has
feuggested, any action that might Im
pair the State's credit or decrease
by n hair's breadth the protection It
affords to those who buy Its notes.
Hut t lie iv Is Insistent demand that
the sinking funds be rearranged, by
suspension for a time of payment"
thereto, or by other means, so that
they shall bear a reasonable and
proer relation to tho debts they are
to llipildate.
To draw from them money, even
surplus, money, for the ordinary ex
penses of the State would establish
it bad precedent, nud might easily
frighten Investors. Hut to adapt
them cvnctly to their purpose, to
bring them luto legitimate proportion
to the bonds they arc to redeem,
would Injure nobody. It would mean
simply that the State was carrying
ont in good faith Its bargain with
purchasers of Its bonds, and relieving
Itself of a heavy and avoidable en
cumbrance which benefits nobody and
weighs oppressively on every tax
payer. It should not 1ms beyond the
genius of the Constitutional Conven
tion to frame a plan that, while Jeal
ously guarding the honor and good
Dame of the State, would mince thess
funds to what they should be.
Chaotic Possibilities.
With our American shipping scut

result of the Ii Follette net, wc are
now entering another zone of the
labyrinth of stupidities In which that
particular Mt of legislative sagacity
has involved us.
The law as It stands in several par
ticulars, as was fully broiurlit out
whllo it was under discussion, flatly
violates our treaty covenants with no
less than twenty-one of the principal
oatloms of the world. This could not

When Did Lincoln Say It?
We should lie gratified If that erudite
(Mil Hay Statesman the Hon. Kugknk
Xenix Foss. whose iiiiilevlating con
sistency In political affairs lias now i
lauded him In the prohibitory ranks
would confer on us the source of the
quotation which he Introduced In hi"
address to the Antl-Saloou League
thK week:
Tho Immortal Lincoln said In 16::
If tho relative grandeur of revolutions
shall bo entlmntcd by the amount of
human misery they alleviate, then In
deed this will bo the grandest the world
has ever teen. And nhfn there ahall
bo neither slave nor drunkard on earth,
how proud the title of that land which
m.y truly claim to be tho birthplace
and the cradle of both these revolutions
that shall have ended In that victory.' "
Neither In the Index to Xicoi.ay
and IIat's "Abraham Lincoln: A
History," nor In the Index to the.
same authors' "Complete Works of
Abraham Lincoln." Is this un.-Llncoln-like
outgiving listed. The short ad
dress which Lincoln made on Septem
ber'.!), INKS, to the Sous of Temperance
contains nothing remotely resembling
it in mutter or lu form, although the
occasion the reception of suggestions
arising from drunkenness In the
army was opportune to tho utter
ance of his most meaMired thoughts
on tho subject. To the-e worthy visi
tors Mr. Lincoln tlersribed himself
as a sympathizer with temperance,
who had "as a young man" spoken
in Its behalf, and throughout his life
he had. he believed, "never by his
example belle l what he then said."
Hut of tin technical Jargon of the
professional agitator against the man
ufacture and sale of liquor Mr. Lin
coln used none at that time.
Did Mr. Lincoln say It? The style
is not his; It resembles rather cer
tain other alleged "quotations" to
which his name Is attached to gain
for them the prestige of his fame.
We should bo obliged to Mr. Foss for
his authority In the premises, and If
he has been deceived, his scholarly
habit of thought will lead him to
thank The Sun for directing his at
tention to the Imposition.
The Ukrainians.

mythical kingdom of romance. Vet
In this country there are more than
a million Fkr.iliilau". liuthcuiait" or
"Little ltusslans," as they are vari
ously culled, and there are more than
UMKXl.Ooo of them llvinu' In the rich
est portion of the Kumpoan continent.
The great war between Itussla and
Austria Is being fought to-day on
Ukrainian territory. Ukraine Is one
of the frogotten nations, and Its xoice
raised at this time seems a cry from
ages long past.
The cry Is the usual cry of the
submerged people for national and
politiral recognition. Ukraine was a
compact geographical unit which
Included practically all the "black
soil zone" of Uuropo, the territory In
fact enclosed between the Carpathian"
on the west and the Caucasus and
the Itlver Don on the east and he-
r.ween the head waters of the DnlejM-r
and the Hinek ami Azov sea". Within
thes 1 ton nd a rj es was Ukraine, which
reached the golden age of Its national
life between the ninth and fourteenth
centuries. This land to-day, political
ly speaking, Is divided between Kus
"la and Austria-Hungary, the country
east of the Dnieper having been ab
sorlied by ltusla In UNI, the portion
west In 1"!).'!, and the Aiistro-IIuii-gaiian
Title having begun with the"
last partition of Poland lu ITU.".
In spile of this (iMslou anil not
withstanding the fact hat those peo
ple for more than a century have had
no national existence they have to an
extent preserved their racial senti
ments and aspirations, nud they hae,
with great effort, raised their own
literature and educational and ecu
uomic Institutions. The centre of the
Ukrainian propaganda was estab
jllshed at Leinls'rg.
In view of the fact that the Ukrain
ians In Austria were few In com
parison with those In her own borders,
liussla looked with cousliierable sus
picion upon thK revival of tin Ukrain
ian tongue. As e.uiy'as IS'ii an
Imperial ukase forbade the use of the
language lu publb'. Ukrainian luioks
and newspapers were prohibited and
the language was not permitted in llm Was u notorious criminal who re

Iturbed condition of all'alrs within tlio
borders of their ntuicut nation to
press their claims not only for free
'doiii of speech and light of represen
Itiitlon but fur itidcpcudeuce. How
widespread the movement Is or how I
much It Is encouraged and sustained j
by Austrian Influences Is wholly prob
lematlc. When It Is rcuicinlctvd that
an Independent I'kralula would mean
the third part of lhiropean Jtussl.i
and the richest part of Itusslan soil
one can appreciate the magnitude of. tho Legislature, 'In tho manner com

The report says that the bridge
oter the Luphrntes has been finished

Interesting Is the control of the enter

(Jeruiau victory would, perhaps,
make no change In the general plans
except In tho completion of the road to

for which she has been playing In

the most Important hazard In the
game. All of the Allies have Interest

much of .Kgean coast that lias a

claim would be Atlnlla. one of the
best harbors on the whole coast line.
France's paramount Interest Is In
Syria. Tie contentions of Knglaud
and Hiissla In this corridor between
Kurojic and Asia were for years be
fore the present war cause of fre
quent strained relations lietwcen the
two Stutes.
The I'ower that holds the Asiatic
coast of the Hosorus will hold Hal
dar Pasha, the starting point of the
Hagdad railway, and isissess a
Iccullar advantage over Its rivals lu
the struggle for territory. It was
said that at the I-omlon conference
just after the Inst llalkan war one of
the Kaiser's diplomats remarked that
even If a Kuropean war over the
Halkan trouble was averted It was
bound to come later over the par
tition of Asia Mluor. A quarrel
among tho victors over the spoils of
conquest may give Germany hope
even If she Is beaten.
Hut that the great enterprise will
be completed Is cheerful news among
the multitude of rejorts of destruc
tion of Industries and the defeats of
the purtwses of civilization. It has a
great mission in opening a wealth of
new Interest In a land of antiquity
and in restoring to the world's markets
a land of fertility and wonderful re
sources. And this great purpose may
be served no matter whom the result
of the i:urosan war places In control.

To tiik KeiToii or Tub Scn Sir:
Anions tho arlous reasons put forth
fr.'in tmiu to time accounting fur the
deflcteney of thu individual income tax
returns for VJ13 from tho estimated
amount and for the Increased r'-tunu
for 19H I havii not seen puellsned what
seems to me ono of the most Important
factors: namely, that the returns lag
behind tho Income-.
Interest elue January 1, IM-t. for In

accrued during the ten months of
llit3 the law was In iffeet, was not re
turned until 1015. Hond coupons wero
treated similarly.
Also, coupons elue April 1. 1313. cov
ering six months Interest, were returned
at one-sixlh their face, as holders con-sldcre-d
interest lucmlng pievlous to
.March 1. 191-1, was not taxable.
I do not know whether this waje ac
cording to law or not, but I beheve the
statement Is In aecorel with the facts.
These leasons sei-m to mo morn potent
than the) often alligeil charge that the
Treasury Pepartun nt has been after
tax dodgers. The amount of tax dexlg

The fact seems evident that the re

Another Instance was told me by the
mother of a. well known lawyer of New
Orleans, now dead. At a very early age
her son had & faculty of guessing, or
losalbly recognizing at sight, words of
one or two syllables. This faculty was
represstd by his parents, who elld not
approve of Infant prodUles. He was
not allowed to learn to read, ond the
only toeIs h!.s mind had to work with
weire tho bare letters of the alphabet,
acquired by him before the' repressive
measures went into effect. In spite of
this, when he was three years old his
mother found him one day poring over
a volume ot Kuclld.
She asked what he was doing and he
answered that he was reading about
the "angels." Amuted at this, his
mother asked him to tell her the names
of tho "angels." "Itlght, Acute, Ob

"Isosceles," but save the figure It stands

Moreover, Krcct a State Ilnlldlug for
tho Court of Appeals to Use,
To tub Editoh or The Svn Sir: Thero
Is division of opinion among tho city
oltlclals who havo tho say as to whether
tho new county court housn planned,
and mainly for which tho expensive nnd
cxpanslvo civic centra has been actu
ally acquired, should be built or whether
tho whole schomo should now be aban
doned and tho lands sold at a great loss
to the municipality.
1 for ono believe tho court house
should be built, and without delay.
In tho first place, It Is sorely needed;
secondly, the city has proceeded too far
nnd has expended great funds nnd Is
obligated for more; next, because the
great city cannot afford to mako Itself
appear vacillating and ridiculous In the.
eyes of tho world ; and last, taklnir all
things into consideration, becauso it will
cost more, directly and indirectly, now
and later on, to turn hack and abandon
tho scheme than to go ahead and vigor
ously push It to completion.
Not alono should tho new court house
bo built, but a State building as well
on this civic centre. Tho State owea
this to the city.
And hero Is another thing, and It
seems to mo Important and practical.
Why should the sittings of the Court
of Appeals bo wholly confined to Al
bany, saving a short spring term at
Saratoga? Why should the members 3f
our city bar be compelled to go to Al
bany or Saratoga and be subjected to
loss of tlmo and to Inconvenience, nud
tho litigants to expense, when tho hulk
of tho appeals before that court arlae

the term time In each jear should sit in
the city of New York, and proper and
liberal provision for tho court, tlttlna- to
lis dignity, should be made In this civic
centre, either in this proposed State
house or In the plans for tho new court
house. In either case, of course, at tho
cost of thu State, which should bear Its
proper haro of thu expense of main
tenance'. If this course should subject the
Judges of tho court to higher personal
expense their expense allowance should
be Increased. Tho people would save

"The Sun" Moves.
from the Scranton .'epiitIlcfis.
Ordinarily tho removal of a news
paper from one building to another
would be an Incident of minor Interest,
but In the case of The Sun It Is an
event. Yeotcrday our much appreciated
contemporary quit the old Tammany
Hall building, which It has ticeupled for
nearly half a century, and transferred
Its headquarters and Its actlvit.es to
150 Nassau street, w'ro It has ampler
elbow room.
The old building, where The Sun held
Its anchoragu securely tluou-li ail tho
tossing tides of metropolitan progress
for nearly iift years, wan loved as a
home by the brilliant men whoso work
made the pages .,f th" paper seintlbaiit.
and was tegar.li'd as a Journalistic
shrine by tin older generation of news
paper workers from Gotham to the
Golden Gate.
There will be more than local appre

"THE UNITED STATES OF
EUROPE."
Would tho Belligerent, Welcome un
American Call to Peace '.'
To the Editor or The Sun Sir: The
groat cllUlculty In securing peace be
tween tho warring nations In Eurono IS
probably due tu tho Impossibility of
readjusting tho map satisfactorily to
all concerned, und to the disagreement
about Indemnities. It seems thtrefoto
advi.sa.blH to eliminate) nil thoe knotty
questions for the present nnd start
peace negotiations with a view to bene
fiting each and all of tho belligerents.
Although this tremendous struggle
has continued a year, no ono csn fore
tell with nny certainty what the final
result will bo If the war should be
continued, except the complete exhaus
tion If not destruction of nil tho war
ring nations. To prevent such a calam
ity It would surely bu opportune nt this
time for a neutral I'ower to step In
and call a hilt by suggesting peace on
such conditions ns all paitics con
cerned could honorably accept.
It would certainly be very nppio-
prl.tte for the United States Governme nt
to Invite n world conguss to meet In
Washington as soon as possible to con
sider the possibilities of fonn.ng n
common basis for further negotiations
with a view of ultimately forming a
union of nil the European nations umler
a federal government with Switzetland
as Its capital.
Such a move could not be considered
inopportune or offensive to any nation,
but Would In all probability bo c-.n-
iluclve to beneficial tcsults, because tho
people of the warring nations aru fairly
tired of the war and would be only too
glad to tee It terminated In a way that
would not lie too injurious ana Humil
iating to the national pride.
This romitrv should be the nrst to
move for thu creation of "the United
States of Europe," and thereby save
what Is remaining of that great part
of the world's most Intelligent and In
dustrial' people, which Is no.v facing
annihilation.
Naturally, the Man of a union oi i.u-
ronean countries will not at first re
ceive npproval from ceitaln qua.tis,
but when the situation is fully compre
hended bv the people us n whole it win
be. found'that this plan will be accepted
as tho most sensible and the only one
which would result In disarmament
and uetmatient peace with returning
prosperity and nt the same time make
no further uso for -scraps oi imin-i.

THE BILLION DOLLAR TRADE
BALANCE.
Is It Real'.' What Are Its Constltn
ruts and Contributors?
To the Etirron ok The Sun sir: In
The Si'N of Juiy 1 the article "Our
Hinion Dollar Traele Halanco' lays oi
this large excess of exports over lmi.tts:
There is none tne less cunuon in uie
thought of It," c.
Why? Decs thl sum represent ac
counts coiltetible by Americans from
foreigners? If so have the trade bal
ances of preceding years been setileul?
What are the figures? If they haw not
been settled why are these balances
called favorable?
It Is asserted that a large part of this
so-called "favorable" balance Is rent'
nald by American tenants to foreign
lanel owners. Interest on American bunds
paid to foreign bondholders, dividends
on American shares held In foreign
countries, &c. Can you throw any light
on this?
In The Sun of July 3 another edi
torial art cle, "Our Indebtedness Alooad."
would seem to furnish s me basis for
an argument In support of this ci.iim.
The last paragraph ei.ds Willi tho words:
"That Kurupe owns things ot worm 10
us with which It can, in default of n'iy
othei medium of payment, cruel tli-
Indebtedness that It is Incurring for our
goods and commodities."
Hut Is Eutopo incurring nny ir.etebt
edness of Importance? Woutd not tho
ownership by foreigners of Income pro-
ducing American property keep us pr-pe-'.ually
In e!e lit to the foreign o.v tiers
of this property? Are there any oltlcial
statistics to show the amount of alle s
ownership of American land, stocks and
bonds?
One of the Astor family who lives In
England is salil to own some teal es
tate. In New York city May m: the
rent sent across by his tenants form a
part of tho "balanie of tr.vte In eur
favor,'' and may there' not be eome other
cases of a like nature '
