M. W. Urges Higher Fare Ecfifor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Every sensible person knows that an Increase In taxes Is always followed by a protest; therefore expect it. Every sensible person knows that New York City is the only town offering an endless subway ride for a nickel; therefore, change the fare to a dime. Endure the protest, "stick to your guns" and after the folks have paid a dime a few times they'll have the habit and the protest will die out.

Why not help his Johnson Prods Big Industries Many Hanging Back in Recovery Plan -'Wild Cat' Price Rise Banned Washington, June 26 (P) The Administration wants to mold public opinion into a prod for big industries that seem a little slow about agreeing on how they shall Increase, wages and purchasing power. And that same weapon will be used to see that these industries do not stray toward any "wildcat price lifting" schemes. Hugh S. Johnson, recovery administrator, inaugurated the direct appeal campaign because he was slightly ruffled at the fact that the rest of the ten big Industries apparently are waiting to see what happens to the cotton textile trade agreement before presenting their own.

Big Industries Hold Back His thesis in a plea yesterday to the people and to business was that the program "can succeed only the whole nation gets behind it with both zeal and determination every man and woman." Already he has received proposed codes of fair competition from around 30 small industries, but except for cotton textiles the other big ones haven't come through. One reason, he said, was "ill-Informed conjecture" that labor first should organize or that Industry should lorm company unions to cut off labor organizations. "This is a deadly serious matter this danger of run-away prices," he said. "There are still about unemployed in this country and even those who still have Jobs are largely on much reduced incomes. Proposes 32-Hour Week "Any wildcat price lifting will have its first bearing directly on the very creature necessities of these unfortunates their means to keep out hunger, thirst and cold.

This administration will not stand for that and wo do not expect to have any trouble about it." "In a general way and without any commitment we can say for the benefit of smaller employers everywhere that, under present conditions, and as far as the lowest paid class workers are concerned, an average of abolt 32 hours a week at not less than 45 cents an hour would do this Job." AMY ENGLISH HONORED Amy A. English, principal of Public School 7, was tendered a farewell luncheon by her fellow teachera at the Hotel St. George Saturday afternoon. Miss English has been named principal of Public School 5. She was presented with a diamond pin by the teaching staff and District Superintendent of Schools Emmanuel Van Dam was among those who were present to offer congratulations.

A thorough housecleaning of all the grafting politicians and their aides would ease the burdens of many taxpayers. S. HAMILTON. June 23, 1933. Tax Bank Deposits Editor Brooklyn Dally Eagle: Taxes will not be popular.

I suggest that all banks in New York City which pay Interest on deposits set aside part of this interest of all depositors as a tax. For example, $1,000 at 3 percent yearly interest equals $30.00. Give to the depositor $20.00 and to the city where lower rate of interest is paid at same rate. This tax cannot be evaded. New York City provides better and more advantages for Its inhabitants than any city in the United States.

With all bank depositors' support the financial state of this city would be Impregnable. HENRY FINK. 522 Orand June 23, 1933. Johnson Creed For Recovery As long as human beings are what they are, one man will earn more than another, but there must be a limit to this if we are to keep our country going. Our best people realize this Is no time to get rich quick.

It is the time to pull our country out of the hole. If we want to keep our country going, we have got to find a way to let everybody buy a half dollar's worth of ham and eggs. The answer of the Roosevelt plan is: split op the existing work to put more men on the payroll and raise the wages for the shorter working shift so that no worker is getting less than living wage. 2ChildrenWalk From Edgemere Continued From Tage hole was worn clear through the sole of one of Alvin's shoes. Isma, all in una tired to death, couldn't even look at food.

But Alvln, like a regular boy, after his tub and "tired or no tired" was ready to eat. The children had had nothing to eat since breakfast save for a piece of candy which they divided between them. A woman at a road stand, where they stopped for a drink of water, had given them a penny with which the purchase of the candy made. Great disappointment weighed neavy on Isma's heart when a dime, given her by a man whom they met leading horses across a bridge, was taken back. With it she had hoped to buy rood for Alvln.

Now and then Alvin would say, "Let's turn back," but about that time Isma was "all pepped up" and she'd reply "No, let's keep going." When things got pretty bad they sang to keep up their courage. But they did stop long enough to watch some men fishine off of the bridges. And when they got along near croaa cnannei they went In for a swim to cool off. There the beach was covered with horseshoe crabs and snails. Isma wore a dark blue suit and Alvln a green one with "Diving Champion" written boldly across his vest.

"Diving champion." Isma mocked last night. "Why he can't even swim." Somewhere on Rockaway Boulevard the children encountered a boy selling colored classes. The new acquaintance gave Alvin, who every uuw ana men was getting a pain In -us oiuu, a "pigsy-Dack" ride for I way and then he directed the chll dren how to reach Decatur St. from me Boulevard. ine children's mother, Mrs.

For two hours she and a friend, Dorothy Hutchins, made a frantic Many Other Ideas Pro-jiocti by Letter Writ-it to Increase Revenue and Econoirfze Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: In V.c city of New York we have roaniin? the streets, in public markets and other places, approximately 10,000 peddlers who compete with storekeepers who pay about $400 year taxes, whereas these peddlers, who are first of all a nuisance, pay the city about $20 a year lor a license. The total loss to the city of New York is $1,100,000, for the city would be able to accommodate more stores if all these peddlers were eliminated. You may say that a peddler may not do the business of a store.

That would be very enlightening for any honest investigator who had the time to compare the business and profit made by these peddlers with that of the businessman in a store. The results, I am sure, would make a very good story for the newspapers and the public who are hoodwinked into thinking that peddlers are cheap and work on very little profit. My figures as to the rumbtr of peddlers are approximate, but I venture to say that they may be more, but not less. I know of two peddlers roaming the streets unlicensed for every one licensed, so city records mean nothing. Have some one try to get a license for a pushcart in a prominent spot In one of the busy public markets regulated by the city and see how easy it is.

I know of spaces for pushcarts being sold for $500. It's a good subject for a newspaper investigator. Why don't the real estate boards of New York City protest or appeal this injustice to property owners and businessmen in the city? Taxpayers are paying more for all merchandise they buy in the long run, for the city gets nothing in taxes from the peddlers to help support the government. THOMAS PHILLIPS Jr. 444 84th St.

Cites Many Sources Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Apropos of your notice in The Eagle may I suggest the following as possible sources of revenue for the City of New York: Require permits or licenses for the numerous so-called "social clubs" (not fraternal or political ones) with which many sections of the city are infested and which are really places of consort for gangsters, gamblers and petty young rounders and which are sources of contamination for the growing youth of our city. These should be regulated or eliminated. Why not tax gunsmiths, firearms sellers, fireworks, ammunition, sales of guns to licensed gun buyers, etc. The State has the Sullivan law, but is there any municipal regulation? Police, members of the militia, peace officers, could be exempted. Why not compel the various city boards and departments to cut their outrageously high and unnecessary printing expenses? There is much waste in printing unnecessary reports, pamphlets, notices, programs, etc.

Is this so of the Board of Lducatlon, the welfare and relief organizations and departments and the financial departments of the city. Stop waste in telephone bills by compelling the city employes to confine their telephoning to official and city business. Make the vending machines owners pay a license fee based on the number of machines in the city, etc, the penny arcades, nlckel-ln-the-slot devices, and the gum, candy and other machines which are taking the money of the children of the poor. Let their owners or operators pay. Require licenses or permits for the many places selling beer-making products and regulate their sale.

Tax sporting goods of all kinds. How about taxing or requiring permits for the numerous pay-station telephone booths that abound In the city? The big business, railroad and ship terminals are full of them. Why not have the Mayor Issue a public proclamation that a grave emergency exists and appeal to the people to contribute voluntarily to the cost of their government? Let the announcement say that because of the serious state of the city's finances he appeals to the people to avert another Chicago bankuptcy here. How about a radio tax, especially where radios are used in public places? Chop needless and witless expenditures for supplies, especially In the city departments and Tons of paper and other materials are wasted rvery year. DESDICHADO.

Jamaica, N. Y. tottery Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Referring to your announcement asking for an alternative to additional taxes, why not have city, State or county run a lottery such as is being heavily contributed to by U. s. citizens, namely, the Irish Sweepstakes? We could use the money toward our own operating expenses, for I am sure a tidy sum would be realized at each drawing.

Legalize betting at races. The tax would be a good revenue, and I am sure that both operations would be well patronized, as we all are willing to pay for the thrill, but object JOHN P. CARLSON. Inc. ol Printing INK Lithograph PUU DRY COLOR8 VARNISHES 420-422-424 Carroll Streil Brooklyn.
