Why? The gen- | eral impression gained from bulletins | igsued through the months of the| “trial” of the lower fare is that more | money was taken in under that lower | fare than under the higher. The re-| ceipts in Norwalk cannot be huge in any case; the test s more to de-| termine the results of the lower fare than to money, It that be it is probable that the return to the three tokens has been made for a purpose | revenue in | make probably. granted, | for a quarter| other than increasing the that particular locality. | The immediate suggestion comes that the desire is to have the trans-| portation considered as a| whole. Representatives the necticut company have stated person- ally that the situation in Norwalk was peculiarly adapted to the lower | fare. If it would work anywhere,| they said some months ago, it would work in Norwalk. One has the im- | pression that it did work in Norwalk; that the return to the higher fare has been made for the psycholog ef- fect it would have; to bring Norwalk fn with other cities and have one plan obtain throughout the state with the exception of Bridgeport where, undoubtedly, there would be a greater disturbance at a change back to the higher fare than there will be in| Norwalk. system of Con- | amended ment from the company or the com mission as 1o why the fare has heen If the above sur be raised in Norwalk mises are incorrect, we should glad 10 hnow RUSSELL'S RESIGNATION, State Puel Administrator Russell's letter regarding his resignation men- tions the delay in the matter of legis: whieh coal the atio would assist in the situation, and states “In view of above history and the entire ahsens of irance as to the enactment o y legislation we arve not willing to e in the position of as any longer suming responsibility without egal power to help us The late Herald would like to see im- m and proper legislation to res situation and But it has ieve the coa to help all in this emergency n pointed %ut in these columns wat the proposed bill carvies drastic least, carried to the limit ! which they might in- fringe the rights of © poorest man tomorrow I"hese .l!»u. provisions caused the delay com- Men unwilling te across the line individual granted by the constitution, knowing on what sort of path they| starting out and where that path | may Mr, I drastic provisions of the bill und says would not think of taking advan- | them, but this is treated in a genernl way and is not the cause The have provisions which are, to say the 1t certain (uestionable rights would infringe the of peo today probably have plained of are step of ‘s ure lead ssell points to too he of assigned for his resignation, Attorney General is reported to safd now that he did not care to ac- | cept any responsibility for the meas- | ures containing drastic provisions “"'l\ that he did not think it would be| constitutional if passed, It is not necessary to hold brief for Mr. Russell in order to point | out the danger of trying to make a any reform too sweeping.

It is rather a pity that the public has no experts possessing thg same prestige as those of the com- pany, and this is said in the utmost good faith.

AR T0 PLANT MILLION TREES DURING 1923 Is Object of American Tree As- sociation, Newly Organized Washington, Jan. 26.—A million trees planted in 1923 is the objective of the American Tree association just | organized by Charles l.athrop Pack, | former president of the American | IForestry association. The new asso- ciation will make anyone who plants | a tree and registers it with the associ- ation a member. There are no cash | dues and there is only ‘one way to Jjoin the association and that is to plant a tree. The association will | send a certificate of membership after | the trees have been planted and will | give tree planting instruction to any who ask for it. Charles L. Pack. Mr. Pack has long been -dentified with public welfare work particular- |1y in relation to forestry, having for | many years been president of the | American Iforestry association. Dur- ing the war Mr. Pack organized and directed the work of the National War | Garden Commission. Last fall he, to- gether with the secretary, P. 8. Ris- | dale, and directors, Dr. Henry 8. | Drinker, John Hays Hammond, | Charles J°. Quincy _and Standish | Chard, resigned from the American IFforestry association, and Mr. Pack declined to allow his name to be put | up for re-election. A | the aims of the American Tree asso- ciation says: “After three years of endeavor to | unite the foresters on a national for- | est policy, Charles Tathrop Pack has organized the American Trec associ | ation which will devote gies to secure nation-wide planting of i trees. Mr. Pack sees that the demand for a national forest policy must come | from the people and not from any one | group of foresters, lumbermen or tim- berland owners, as the people are | vitally interested in having steady and | permanent production of forest pro- duets. Up to now the foresters hfve | vot been able to agree upon a form of forestry policy and so Mr. Pack has determined to devote himself to arousing the public to the value of tree planting.” Remarkable Response, Response to the call for tree plant- ers has been remarkable, P. 8 Rids- dale ,the secretary of the new organi- zation, says. Eve a tree in 1022 is eligible to member- ship. From Louisville, Ky., three thousand memberships have been re- ceived from one bank that gives de- positors trees to plant. The national tree voting plan has been taken up in a number of schools and this fea- { ture has proved of the highest educa- tional servies in teaching children the valut of trees. The planting of ‘me- morial trees, Roads of Remembrance, memorial parks and memorial forests is going forward in a way, Mr. Ridsdale adds. Mr. Pack is continuing the sending of millions of American tree seads to England, France, Ttaly and Pelgium Ito help re-forest war dedetw his attempted to gain entrance into sev- | tatement as to | all its ener-| one who planted | remarkabley this city, at a meeting last night de- | | - | —SATURDAY— | A SPECIAL SELLING EVENT in those countries. As a result of this work millions of American trecs are already growing in Western Europe. Another _educational campaign of the association is the “Make Wash- ington the National Ahoretum of the country.” The hub of the idea was the planting of the Armistice Elms by Mrs. Warren G. Harding a year ago. Seeds from the famous Dumont Ken- nedy Eim at Crawfordville, Ind., have been received for planting at the Lin- coln Memorial. This spring will see the planting of memorial trees by gev- cral state societies in Washington, the trees o come from the home states, WILL BEGOME BISHOP Rt. Rev.

As the result of in- juties sustained in a railroad accident he was obliged to resign his position in 1920, Returning from Rome, where he presented his resignation to the late pope, Bishop Nusshaum en- | tered the monastery of the Passionist I7athers, of which order he is a mem- ber.
