Sometimes they guess at it, and sometimes they don't' even scem to go to the trouble of guess- ing. Most frequently they play per- ward politics, or | sonal politics, city politics. Mayor Weld the wishes of first, regardless of all other con- siderations. Such a democratic view is refreshing. Fancy a councilman or an alderman putting himself to trouble and Inconvenience in find- ing out What his constituents want, what they need, or what they think they need. Such an individual would accumulate unexampled strength as a civic servant; he wouldn't need to worry much about a second term; he'd get it thrust upon him. The public, however, is itsell somewhat to blame. It has become lackadaisical, uninterested. There are a plenitude of citizens in the city who, without a doubt, do not know the names of their council- manic representatives. About half of them do not vote and the other half go to the polls with no serious sire to be censorious of public servants. They vote according to the party label, usually “straight,” and then hurry off to their busi- ness or hurdle toward the show or | the radio. There ‘is need for a civic awak- | ening, a revival of interest in city, country, state and federal govern- ment.” The governing powers have gotten too far away from the peo- ple, or the people too far away from the governing powers. The | mayor'’s idea that councilmanic members keep themselves informed of what the public wants, when it wants it and how it wants it, is a step In the right direction. The public can with to itself reciprocate by letting the council- men know what it is thinking about apparently thinks constituents conre profit once in awhile. What the plan for widening Stan- ley street now amounts to is a new deal for property owners and per- Laps for the public. Almost total dissatisfaction with the previous plan of the board of public works has brought about this require- ment, and a new scheme of pro- cedure and re-assessment of dam- ages and benefits is the logical con- sequence. The public works board do 1o better than incorporate the ideas of the people most deflnitely affect- | ed. That would b: in line with the mayor’s proposal that civic servants make themselves acquainted with the needs and wishes of the elec- | torate. an AN INCINERATOR FORUM There may be conscientious Jectors to the incinerator id have good ideas under their hats; or they may have ldeas that can easily be set at naught. They are to get the opportunity of securing the Information they need about this subject, or the opportunity to con tribute from their source of ir mation. All this will be done at a | publie forum, which is a happy ldea, one which will either r ing the meed for an incinerator or ob- | a who all | tin show blast the expectations and hopes of those who see no other way ou the present difficulty of dlspos garbage.

If the city cannot dispose of its gar- bage out of town it will have to dis- pose of it within its own gates, and it 1s unlikely that this can be done in any other way than through an incinerator. However, if the con- sclentious objectors, who are cred- ited with thinking the eclvic ser- vants who have talked for an incin- erator ar: merely following a fad, can produce some alternative not yet thought of they need to attend the forum in goodly numbers. The other side must also be present in proportion; and then there can be a valuable civic debate which will clear the atmosphere and give everyone a thorough conception of a problem that is becoming con- stantly more pressing. A COURAGEOUS VETO In vetoing the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill President Coolidge exercised courage and a consider- able disregard of the political con- sequences. He remained consistent. He began publicly opposing the farmers’ scheme when he went to Chicago to address the American Farm Bureau federation and re- peatedly thereafter. When Cong.ess squelched the farm reilef bill last year the field looked clear and there was no trouble ahead for the President in connection with a set- tlement of this pernicious doctrine although the western farm blot was not inclined to thank him much for the assistance rendered the op- position. This year, however, the situation changed for the worse from a presidential viewpoint, Congress passeg the measure and it lay be- fore the President for his signature or veto, or lacking either, it would law In ten days. resulted, there- have become Much speculation fore, as to whether he would changcl frout for political reasons, or would stick to his previous policy. Wheth- er he would seek a third term, it was held in some quarters, might depend to some extent upon his ac- tion. Now the die is cast; the President, throwing political considerations to the winds, has remained true to his carlier opinions and has thrown down the gauntlet to the farm bloc in the most effective manner pos- sible. The political warfare that is likely to result cannot help having a far-reaching effect upon the future. | In the end the farm relief bill may still be put into law. This can come ahout during the next Con- gress, when it most assuredly will, agaln be put forward for passage. And 1t is entirely likely that the next | Congress, to bs composed of the political dissenters clected last No- vember, will contain enough of | the combination of Insurgents and | Democrats; but when one notes that { more independent | hind those of Great Britain and Ja- "letter of those favoring the bill to pass it over his ‘eto. THE COST OF A FISH It has remained for faraway Ore- | gon to give the nation an idea as to the actual cost of fishing, the| real and basic outlay incident to Fishermen—actual, professional, | make-a-living-out-of-it fishermen | —in Oregon have been howling about two “iniquitous” bills which | have been entered In the Legisla- ture. These would climinate the commercial catch of salmdén on certain streams, the hetter to give sportsmen a chance at the fish, which are rapidly deteriorating in quantity as a result of commercial activity. Those advocating the bills with an argu- ment, that might be considered quite as devastating to the arguments of the objectors as commerclal fishing is to the future vrospects of fish. This commercial fishing 1is ‘ho| most wasteful thing in the ftate, it 1s argued. The commerclal fish- etmen secure their catch with all sorts of unsportsmanlike equipment, | have obtain the denizens of the waters in wholesale lots, and sell the catch at ridiculously low prices. Consider the sportsmen, however. | When they go fishing it is with hook and line. They seek out the back- woods streams, patronize hot res- | taurants, and all other businesses vhich cater to the wants of elvil of tion; they motor scores miles cams, se ont much gasoline and we {heir motors on steep mountain their As a ruls time and | .

The small towns rear the fishing streams and other tourist interests of the state get the $10 per fish. In the case of commercial fishing only the professional fish- erman gets a living out of it, and not a very prosperous one at that, | considering the. §l?ld¥ decline of the catches in rec:nt years. It we were to be sentenced to sit as a judge upon the controversy we unhesitatingly would yield the palm to the $10-per-tish sportsmen. The counts mentioned are €nough to win the argument, in our opinion. 1In addition there is the further fact that if the commercial fishermen are left to their own devices they will ruin their own industry within a few years, so that they would lose their occupation anyhow. It the Oregon bills pass mighty few fish, at $10 per fish, will leave the streams; but the fun will be vast. In & few years the streams will be in such shape as to give the commerclal fishermen a new lease on life, THE CRUISER PLAN “President Coolidge’s leadership on important questions of national policy was again flouted today,” be- gan the mbws dispatch relating to passage by the House' of concurrence with the Senate amendment to the naval appropriation bill immediate- ly making money available for the construction. of three light cruisers. It President Coolidge has any in- fluence left with Congress it would be interesting to discover where it Mes. With all his prestige, in this generation, no President with a Congress supposedly under his party’s control, has failed so many times to swing it on so many im- portant jssues.

There was a good attendance and much money chang- ed hands. - A meeting of the storekeepers about Central park has been called for the purpose of forming a pool to hire the boats at White Oak for use when the snow in Central park melts. There is not a gitter or catch basin in the center in working order. One merchant suggests that the city build a shed around the! park and save the collection until| summer, when it will be valuable. The annual meeting of state li- brarians was held here today. Andrew Turnbull, who represent- cd the town in the general assembly of 185, was unable to be present at the reunion of legislators of that year in Foot Guard hall today. Residents of the north end art complaining against the non-remov- al of snow from LaSalle street. Only two teams have been over the street since the storm of a wesk ago, and pedestrians find the going difficult.

Comments were heard to the effect that such a thing was to he expected in New Haven traffic but if a pedestrian with a weak heart ever attempts to cross Main street at a point near the beginning of Arch street, especlally at noon, we shudder to think of the results. No reflection is cast upon the traffic officer at that point for he has four corners to watch at the same time and that is no easy mat- ter. But try and cross the road at this point without becoming & jay- walker. It can't be done. The officer signals traffic to come ahead on Arch street and on the southern part of Main street. Traffic coming down is then given its turn and go on, vice versa but the pedestrian is given no chance to cross. When traffic isn't going north, it's going south which leaves the person de- siring to cross in a predicament he has to figure out for himself.

We just know you all are sitting on the edges of your chairs by now panting to know just what goes on inside of the shops which turn out the latest songs and we have at last been prevailed upon to let you in on the hot dope. First we came to a room all done over in deep blue. The walls and the rugs and even the pianos were all of this shade. We _ asked the guide what this room was used for and he just looked at us. Finally,| it dawned upon us that this was the place that all those ‘“blues’ numbers we had ever heard were manufactured. ‘We saw one lone creature sitting inside of the room with a mouth abgut two degrees lower than a fat duck. “Who is that?” we asked. “The man who writes the ‘blues’ songs?" “No,” said the guide, “that {s the man that writes the cheer- up- the- sunshine- is- just- around. the- cor- ner- there's- a- silver- lining songs” “Oh,” we sald. A little further on we came across a hard boiled looking individual seated at the plano running his fin- gers up and down the scale, “Who is that?” we asked. “That is the man who writes the Mammy songs. He is the bird who is guilty of the cabin door, corn pone, land of cotton and Mason- Dixon songs.” “Where was he born?” “He was born in Harlem and he thinks that Manhattan Transfer is the place that Lee surrendered. He has lived in a sixteen story apart- ment house all his life and he thinks that corn pone is a drink.” Further on an 80 year old indi- vidual who was viibly suffering from rheumatism and rickets hob- bled across our way. We inquired about him, “That is the person who writes| all the stomps and struts. He has turned out enough Charleston and Black Bottom pieces to put half the nation under doctor's care. He still fhinks that the schottische is slightly immoral and that any man who waltzes with a girl should be made to marry her the next day.” A gimlet eyed young person next appeared and we asked about him. “He is tho fellow who writes the mother- I'll- always- love- you- and. I'll. never- leave- you- again songs” “I'll bet he has a wonderful mother. I surely would enjoy meet- ing her,” we said. “Very easy, One has only to visit the city charity home to see her. - He hasn't seen her since the day he broke a chair across her head. Once a year at Christmas he time he drives his big car around to the home with a basket of fruit and gets photographed by the Sun- | day section cameras as a devoted son."” “Oh,” we sald, and left shortly after, while our soul went down the high road to Cynicism. ‘We have recelved so many re- quests of late for our opinion of world affairs that we are taking this opportunity to answer tho ap- peals for enlightenment on some of the intricate slfmations in interna- tional affairs. ° CHINA: Shanghai, it seems, is the bone of contention” between one Chinese general with an unremem- berable name and another Chinese | general with an equally unremem- | | berable®name.
