Which means, of course, thal they are supposed to contribute more than Intrastate busses to the maintenance of the highways, if that is where the money is applied. Here | is the law, found in Part II, section | " I. Chapter 254 of the public acts of 1825: “The owner of each motor ve- hicle (in interstate traffic) *¥* shall annually *** file with the tax commissioner *** sworn statement *** of the number of miles of highway in the state over which such motor vehicle shall have been operated during the year *** and shall pay to the treasurer, as Aan excise on the use of such highway, one cent for each mile so used.” The excess verbiage has been eliminated in the foregoing, but the meaning should be clear—or a8 clear as laws usually are written. Whether the law means a cent a| mile for the total traveled during the year, or a cent a mile for each fixed route is left to the reader to declde. We ara not mind readers, Part II of this chapter does not apply to the busses operated within the state, thls being left to Part I of the chapter. The tax on interstate busses Is three per cent of the gross receipts. The reason for a difference in the taxation system for the two types of | tare to his heart's content, blandly | aviators may be something new upon | | the firmament, and | of becoming too bold. | them on. The | tenced several youths busses operated is based upon the impossibility of taxing bus com- | panles operated from other states in any other manner than through the | payment of a mileage excise tax. If the state doesn’t get something out of them in this manner it must per- | mit the use of its roads practically tree of charge, although the outside bus owners clalm they contribute | “just as much” to the maintenanc of the highways as the bus owners| operating within the state—possibly through the purchase of gasounn,} ete. : The interstate bus business is en-| tirely unregulated by Congress. The | only manner in which a state can| collect for the use of its highways is | through soms such tax as that in-| flicted in Connectlcut. And it mus!; be sald that Connecticut was one of | the first states, if not the very first, | to find a way to meet the situation. | So far the stats has won the two| legal bouts which followed the law. It now remains to be seen whether the interstate bus owners care to take thelr contention to a higher tribunal, Possibly it would serve the public Interest to have them do £0 in order to scttle the issue per- manently. R | PLAINVILLE'S PROGRESS A “trip to Plainville” being one of the most popular of automotive diversions during those seusons when most of the are not in cold storage hereabouts, especially the chariots car family New Britain ites naturally are greatly interested | ot the neigh- | in the development boring town. Consequer gasolining down the they come to the slght of a large new business block being ercot “on the other slde of the track they are bound to sit crect behind the steering wheel to mair cet and tak notice, then Plainville ¢ “growing. breasts of transients saying elves tainly gives evider tising for the town, perhap: than a big signboard chronicling present and potential greatn the community. and when _ operatlon is under way on one side of the main streets theorizi possibllitics gives to plation of the actualities. Inquiry in Plainville elicits t that another important Seelng s belleving, it s said, a large building : about way formation business block is “liable to go up” across from the present pile being erected. Capitalists in the town are not only born optimists, but they are willing to hack their ideas with the | ner of | land's topmost necessary money, If this rullv' eventuates it is not too much to ex- pect that the most important busi- ness section of Plainville will de- velop beyond the raliroad tracks, which, unless memory fails, is con- trary to what was the prevailing ex- pectation years ago. New Britain looks with favor upon the development of Plainville in this manner. The town to New Britain is like a suburban neighbor, only a short trolley ride from our Center, and for all practical purposes is con- sldered a part of the hardware city. There is no rivalry between them; when Plainville progresses in this manner_it feels quits the same as when Néw Britaln progresses. The progressive citizens ot Plainville are to be congratulated upon the faith they are showing in their communi- ty. NOW THE NEED FOR OURBING AIRMEN An alrman transgressing the law by flying low over a city has a cer- taln advantage, as was illustrated in | New Britaln yesterday. The police know he is breaking the law, they are watching him doing it, but noth- ing can be done about it at the mo- ment. If his identity is not known, as was the case here, the difficul- | tles are even greater. The result is the alrman can make a nuisance of himself and menace the public wel- laugh at the irritated police looking | at him, possibly through fleld glasses | at headquarters, and whirr away when he tires of making folk afraid of thelr lives. It is to be hoped that by the time this sees print the identity of the viator has been established and prosecution begun. There is need for setting an example. Irresponsible | there is quite evident need of discouraging the practice before other sky pilots think THE WRONG BOTTLE For the sccond time within ap- proximately a week a first page item referred to the drinking of a dis- | infectant by mistake, with the conse- | quent death of the person who fail- ed to read the label on the hottle. | Considering the amount of famlly | medicine bottles usually on the | shelves in every home such accidents | are rare indeed, much more 8o than | fatalities resulting from leaving gas | or accidentally turning | winter, in fact, has | been remarkably prolific of disasters from {lluminating gas. Cautlon, like almost everything else, begins in home, jets open A JUDICIAL SPANKING The Michigan judge who sen- | to fall, but with the aMernative of treedom fol- lowing a flogging, naturally attract- ed much attention, It publicity was what he wanted, he got It. There are many able observers of the needs of the times who belleve that flogging | has its place in jurlsprudence, but there are none who regard it as| punishment for petty misdemeanors. | The case In Michigan was one where | the youths were convicted of having | cen In bad company, which no oubt was a proper opportunity for parental discipline of the kind ad- | ministered. The less obnoxious man- going about i, however, would have been to apply the razor | strop In the privacy of the parents’ | homes—iwhere perhaps a better job would have been performed—than in open court in the presence of 200 witnesses. That made of the incident too much of a public show.

Either the theatrical people will be forced to clean up thelr own | doorsteps or the state, through & censorship law will do it for them. This threat probably is of more po- tent influence than the threatened inundation of more risque plays. Censotship by law is at best a| clumsy way to deal with a situation. The opportunities for political-mind- ed censors to function, for ignorance of stagecraft to sit enthroned, for the deleting of lines for political reasons and on account of the politi- cal influence of varlous groups, the possibilities tor bad judgment to cripple many an artistic production, and the bungling that 1s quite ltkely | to be the rule—these things far out- | weigh the possible good that might | be achieved. | This specles of censorship, threat- | ened in & bill before the New York | legislature, s having the effect of & big stick which is bringing the pro- | ducers to their senses. If the result| is a voluntary censorship among} the producers, with some method to | prevent the dollar-chasers from breaking the rules when the urge to make a flnancial cleanup becomes | too much to resist, the stage Will ex- perience a much-needed fumigation. | THE SENATE DEMAND Becretary of State Kellogg is fac- ing a Senate which is in no mood to take the opinlons of his department at 100 per cent value. The Senate's| and American corporations owning land in Mexico indicates that the up- | per house is disposed to plumb some of the exciting literature written and dispensed from the department | within recent wecks. This question is one needing the fumigation of publicity. Various claims have been made as to the! nature of the interests who are ir- ritated over the Mexican land laws | and various préminent names haval been coupled with thelr enterprises. | Denials have been numerous, until by this time no one, not even the Senate, scems certain fust who are | the prime objectors to the land laws. The Senate is on the right tack in | demanding all the informatfon in| the hanls of Secretary Kellogs, if The Senate is more'im- | portant in deciding the nation's for- elgn policy, in truth, than Mr. Kel- lozg. To decide correctly it needs all available information, | The episode Is a quiet disclaimer, too, of the contention of President Coolidge recently that the press meaning the public—should not be too much interested in the foreign policy of the administration; let the state department attend to that, in effect was the presidential com- ment. There Is no evidence in Wash- Ington that when the Senate ob- tains the Kelloglan data it will pro- cced to hide it from the view of rabld pressmen. Not at all. We'll know# great deal more In a short time; and the Senate, no doubt, will be In a position to say mors mointed | and definite things than wnen the | attempt was made to keep it in the dark.

In any case it is not progress- g as fast as Its promoters desire, and the government still refuses to adiit that the question is being con- sidered. The action of the executive com- mittee of the national peasants party formally suggesting that the crown council consider the guestion of the euccesslon to the Rumanian throne, was referred to in the cham- ber of ceputies yesterday, when Premier Averesco seized the occasion to state that the succession to the throne was settled by the act of January last year, and that nothing new had arisen since to justify a change in the act. (This act recognized Carol's re- nunciation of his throne rights, ap- pointed his son, Prince Michael, as crown prince and named three mem- Lers of a regency to supervise the die before Michael {s 18 years of age).

Heath and Company File Voluntary Petition in Bankruptcy ] Haverhill, Mass, Feb. 4 (UP)— This city faces the loss of another of the shoe industries that made it famous. Fred B. Heath and company, shos manufacturers, announced today, they had filed a voluntary petition in | bankruptcy, listing liabilities of 1$350,000 and $400,000 and assets of | $10,000. The largest creditor of the firm, which employs 400 hands, was said {to be a Boston leather dealer with |a $110,000 claim. There were about 200 creditors, attorneys for the com- pany said. Recently employes of the com- | pany, sensing the seriousness of its | financial situation, offered to turn back one-half of thelr wages for one month, As the weekly payroll was about $12,000, this would have pro- vided a total of some $24,000. Company officlals stated, however, that this plan did not meet with the |approval of creditors, making it | necessary to flle the bankruptcy pe- tition. Within a month, Haverhill has {lost two other shoe plants. The B. E. Cole compsny moved to Lynn and the Moss-Seaman company to New- buryport. FRAT RECOGNIZES 18th.
