A well equipped site would prove the source of much valuable ad- vertising to the city and would not prove a great expense as little is de- manded by the “tin can” yond a to pitch good water and minor conveniences. The Chamber of Commerce ap- proved of the plan to establish a site, | the Mayor has stated that favor of such a scheme and it appears | that it will be a great while be- fore a plot in the North End park is laid for the purpose. Many a vacation is spent in a car these days, his whole family, puts a tent and a col- lapsible stove on the running hoard of his car and starts out to “gypsy" for the two weeks that he is at leisure He depends upon along the road for his supplies of food and | has taken advantage of any pasture for a place to pitch his tent when night overtakes him.

By word of mouth the desirability of our site would pass, one | satisfied camper would attract many more and New Britain would gain by the advertising thus obtained, gain far more than the cost of the site would make it appear. FIXING THE PRICE OF COAL Proposals to ask Congress to pass legislation which fix prices and insure proper distribution of coal during the first part, at least, of the coming winter, which hinted at yesterday by Secretary Hoover might well be adopted for the pafety and protection of the general public. Legisiation does not aiways accomplish the desired end in such situations as many know. If there fs Jegislation there will be an additional point brought to bear upon such would tend to :keep!ng pace with the demand, after | from this section, republican or dem- stone oven | our winter needs, so that each may have a share of what may be mined | between now and fall. As the winter progresses and the stock runs low we should be meted out another small portion. In this way, and this way only, will all be able to get coal. There may be a possibility of the miners they have resumed operations But methods must be obtained to check the greedy individuals who buy, at any price a full supply, and those methods can best be furnished by the passage of strict laws, TARIFF Tariff matters seem to be again tak- | ing a prominent place in the po]mcs‘ of the country, although the trade question is not the clearly defined partisan issue that it once was and is becoming more akin to a sectional natter. Each portion of this country | seems to be particularly interested in protecting the article which it manu- factures or produces from the inva- sion of foreign goods, other sections are anxious to lower the prices of tht-“ raw products which they use in some | process. The southern representatives, being democrats and coming from a | | country which is non-manufacturing | | are not particularly interested | in a high tariff on manufactured goods, therein lids the only kinship to parti- san politics on the tariff question. | There isuittle doubt but that many ocrat, “view with alarm’ the invasion | of our markets by German goods in | particular.

When a local cutlery concern for competition that is founded | primarily on a wage scale that is ap- tenth of what the prevailing scale is fn this country, whereby the German may about one-tenth of our prices, it must which means paring wages below a living scale, or | 80 out of businese, which means no wage at all to the workman.

The business question is with us, the tariff is an important factor in the ! problem. Human nature is the same, give the manufacturers too much and | they will atempt to profit too much, as will the them. In setting a tariff there comes a time for rare discrimination, so that enough of the burden may be taken from this country's shoulders to start it from seratch in the business world, and so that the other fellow may fur- nish some competition in order that laborers who work for the American husiness world may not have an oportunity to exercise extor- | tion WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE WEATHER? Something is radically wrong, these last few days, In the weather scheme We have been led by the routine of the last eight weeks or so, to expect at least one thunderstorm daily.
