In the words of the delegates, “We don't, care who does the voting so long as we _can do the nominating.” Perhaps you are not interested in new skyscrapers; or perhaps you are. Anyway, the latest projects in New York call for the Larkin tower | of 110 stories and the Chanin build- | ing.of 52 stories, both on 42d street. The Chanin building will be 625 feet tall. Now guess how high the other will be. WHAT WILL THE STATE GET FOR THE MONEY? The state is interested in deter- mining just kow many miles of newly paved highways are likely to eventuate following the decision of the last Legislature to appropriate $1,000,000 for new trunk line high- ways and $2,000,000 for state aid roads. Three million dollars sounds big, until one begins to figure mod- ern road costs; then it doesn’t look like a mountain of silver any more, | even with the money obtained from | other channels added. | It 1s sald ir Hartford that the Merritt boulevard, between Bridge- port and the New York state line, parallel to the Boston Post road, will receive the main consideration in trunk line construction during the next two years. If this political rumor is correct, then it is apparent | a large expenditure is due at this | point and other projected k| ines may have to wait. This fancy | trun “soulevard will go down in a scction ot the state vhich already has heen | wiell Tooked atter in the construction | of highways The money that the state appro- priated dimirishes in when the costs of modern roads are considered.

In the 81 vears of the state high- | way department, the state has spent | its highwavs, of | whieh 800,000 came from the nd $31,000,000 from | tines, and the gas | appears approximately $6,500,000; in two years, $13,000,000. There are other receipts applicable; for instance, last year there was more than $2,000,000 due the highway fund trom towns. Considering that with- out any $3,000,000 appropriation jast year the state managed to spend $9,676,657 on highways, it is easy to come to the conclusion that the sum to be spent on roads during the next two years will be around $11,- 000,000 each year. The resporsibility of the state highway department in seeing that the state gets the best possible re- turn from this huge expenditure is self-evident. Many other states re- gard the Connecticut department as a model of efficiency; we in Con- necticut are apt to find fault on ac- count of the failure to obtain im- proved highways where we think they are most needed. Sometimes the critics may be wrong and some- times they are right. What we need to watch with circumspection s that returns are obtained for the state’'s highway expenditures. Road costs are too high. TAKING CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS Mother love is strong, regardless of the circumstances under which it is nourished. To take children from parents, as the state has a right to do when conditions warrant such a step, is serlous business. Such an instance has taken place in this city, and the public has been in- clined to sympathize with the par- ents, especially the mother. The watchful eye of the state has| been taking special note of the Ro- main family, it appears, which ac- counts for the activity of the Con- necticut Humane Society in this city. The charge that the parents have not been properly taking care of the children was sustained in court, and despite objections of the mother cries for her brood, they will be reared in the care of the state. 1t is comparatively easy to stand on the sidelines and make unctuous remarks r¥garding the necessity of all parents taking proper care of their children. The charges against the mother were neglect of the chil- dren, not cruelty. The only point where a charge of cruelty entered was in connection with treatment of a pony a week or so previous, and this consisted of failure to properly shoe the animal and keeping him in unclean and unfit surroundings. The law does not take possibilities under consideration, but only the actualities. A mother who will fight and stone officials who are bent up- on taking her offspring away from her, who places herself upon a rail- road track with the intention of committing suicide it this ia done, certainly gives every evidence of lov- ing her young with that maternal | eagerness that is the normal and natural emotion of woman, regard- less of the language she may have | used at times while the children were within hearing. People can be educated not to use bad language, especially if provocation is removed. | The trouble in the Romain family to be poverty. Let the family be the reciplent of a good income, be able to live in good sur- roundings, possess all the comforts of life; then, we would be willing to wager, the children would be well taken care of, there would be no; possibility of neglect, and even to do- mestic animals, if would be properly shod and kept in good con- dition, It is unkind to blame a family for something that is beyond its con- trol. The Romains, and every family any, in or nearly in the same condition, are sufferers from economical cir- | cumstances rather than from the re- sults of innate incompetence. No | doubt they were encouraged to marry and encouraged to Bave a END OF AN OLD PRACTICE One of the best laws passed by the recent Congress has received little attention. For years it has been the custom of the produce industry, when there was an overplus of any particular product, to destroy enough of it to keep prices as high as possible. Surreptitiously, the scandalous proceedings curlliued. Fruit and commission houses, buy- ing carload lots, kept them moving if prices “justified” it; anything to keep them off the market. It was not uncommor to find such produce selling at or below the price of pro- duction at the farms and selling at an astonishing advance in the cities. The late beneficent Congress, nowever, eager to do something for the embattled farmers and help the harassed consumers in the cities at the same time, passed a law making it a misdemeanor to destroy farm produce and other foodstuffs in in- terstate commerce; and the Presi- dent promptly signed the bill The fruit and produce season has arrived; or at least, is near at hand. We await with interest the first at- tempt to keep prices up in the old manner, and are eager to see somc'j of the bandits ‘who formerly oper- ated this nefarious method of goug- ing the public face the gruelling eyes of the federgl attorneys. Reform ought to be easy under the circumstances. THE IRISH OATH If the Dail Eireann this week changes its practice and fails to re- quire an cath of allegiance to the English king it will mean a sub- stantial victory for the De aner&l faction, which made notable gains in the recent election. The scheme to abolish the oath was defeated in the Dail by a vote ot 47 to 17 last April; but at that time no one suspected that the Free State government was likely to meet with political reverses at the hands of the Republicans. As a mere matter of political ex- pediency it is barely possible that the matter will be settled differently this weck, which at the same time will take much of the ammunition from the oppcsition. FARMERS NOW SATISFIED, SO 'TIS SAID 8o the soil-tillers of the west are now quite satisfied with the Presi- dent for vetoing the McNary-Hau- gen farm relief bill. At least, so the ! political wiseacres are telling us. No census, referendum or other ex- pression of general opinion has been reported; the boys who attend to the political writing for the admin- istration do not require such insig- nificant details to. determine how the minds of the farmers stand on this subject. They merely say so, and hence it must be true. How foolish the Senate was to pass the bill—by a close score, it is true, but still, the bill was passed there, eight votes to the good. And. how foolish the House members were to hearken to the farmers plight by a score of 214 to 178. They lacked the courage of the President on the one hand; on the other they cculd not foresee that a few months later the entire weat- ern farming interests would realize fully that the bill was a mistake in the first place. One administration writer says that half the farmers are now mol- litied and satisfied; another says all of them are. With the President in the Black Hills, in the heart of the wheat belt, the situation is bright- | er than it was some time ago. 1f som=body doesn’t start anoth- | er Populist porty or something like ! it the western yeomanry can be depended upon, as usual, to vote the Republican ticket.

TAXIN ACHELORS | Lyon; show that a substantlal part of the burden of taxation .is al- reudy imposed in that way (by taxing bachelors), even in the United States. Whether mar- ried or not, the man without children pays more income tax because he secites no exemp- tions, as 'provided not only in the federai tax but in the state income taxes. The bachelor en- joys no exemption at all. But in the matter of educating other people’s children the childless husband apd the bachelor con- tribute to the general school fund. The fathers of families get education for their children all the cheaper for that rea- son.” We showed the foregoing to a well-known bachelor and he re- marked the indirect tax was worth. the money.

COMMUNICATED About the New Linwood Street Bridge June 20, 1927 lovakia gets Louisiana divided into divisionk are Editor, v New Britain Herald, City. Dear 8ir:— Allow me the space in the column of your paper to ask a few ques- tions in regard to what is the trouble with the engineering and board of public works departments. Last Wednesday at the council meeting I petitioned that the bridge under constraction on Linwood street is too small to take care of the spring floods in this section, and the report of the high salaried offi- cials was that this bridge, is three times larger than the old bridge, which was a false statement, don't be kicking, we ought to be satisfied in getting a bridge. Now I wish to state a few facts about this case. The Ten Acre Road bridge and the bridge on the street parallel to it has 54 square feet of opening. The stream is joined by the golf ground section brook fur- ther down vhich goes through Cor- bin avenue bridge of 74 square feet, from there down to iLnwood street, about 2-3 mile, with Doerr’s pond overflow additional, is this bridge of 60 square feet and no more. Just beyond about 200 feet is the Mon- roe street bridge, built about 7 to 9 years ago with 85 square feet. I'd like to know who will pay for damagcs in the spring through the construction of this Linwood street bridge. I wish to state that I have been informed that the brook can be made wider and deeper t2 help this bridge, with the expenditure of $10,- 000, more or less, to be paid by the property owners in this section.
