< company would then raise $50,000,- 904 from private sources. Congress naturally has been deep- ly interested, if not greatly con- cerned, in this plan to borrow $34.- 500,000 from the government, and change the existing law to boot. 1t seems that some congressman re- main quite old-fashioned, and don't think the government should be too liberal as a banker. The Brown Boveri Corporation is interested in electricity; the liners, ot course, would be electrically driven, and their speed between 31 and 34 knots an hour. Reception and delivery of passengers near shore by alrplanes would be a feature, and this plan, it is said, would cut the trip between continents to three days to such passengers as preferred te use the planes. ‘The co-ordination of airplanes | with steamships is logical.

IF A COW HAD DONE IT Reading the editorial on injuries recourse in this ' newspaper a citizen called to ask a question.

Transatlantic travel has been in- creasing remarkably. In the year ending November 1, 1927, the total of eastbound travelers was 362,353; runs | the total of westbound passages 581,774.

The specious Rule 114 of the fire board pro- vides that firemen are not to give out information pertaining to the de- partment. But as a seeker after in- formation we refuse to be denled. Rule 114 simply has mo standing in this office. A thinker has paused to ask, why the masses don't think. Perhaps they prefer to let the thinkers do their thinking for them, and then exercise the privilege of not paying the slightest attention to the result of the expertly thinking. It 18 regarded as certain that the two-thirds rule will not be abolished in the Democratic convention. It's one of those things the Democrats talk about two-thirds of the time and then retaln during the other third, which includes the conven- tion year. According to #he retail mililnery association in New York, women's hats will grow in size from now on. There i evidence, however, that the sartorisl arbiters haven't the influ- | had. Women insist | ence they onte on wearing garments which enable them to get in and out of automo- .biles with the least expenditure of effort. A big hat in an automobile manifestly would take up too much room and would bump against the doors, if not the top. FOUR-DAY LINERS WITH ATRPLANE ATTACHMENTS From President Coolidge himself came the announcement the other day that he favored the proposed four-day transatlantic steamships, over which New London has bren excited about for some months, It is not altogether a question of possible or probable success; it is 2l60 & question of finance, including A_change in the existing law per- mitting the government to loan money to American ship enfarprises. The American Brown Boveri Elec- tric Corporation, which has etartled New London out of its somnoles s allled with the 'Trans-Ocean Corporation, which is the real parent of the fdea. Bome time ago that this company is prepared to in- vest $125,000,000 In the construction of six liners modeled after the new airplane carrlers Lexington and Saratoga. It turns out, however, that the actual money that private jnfer ests are expected not it was given out 1o provide does exceed $50,000,000; the mainder is to come from the ernment. Eov- According to the present law the Shipping Board §s permitted to loan money for the construction of American ships up to two-thirds of their cost, and at 4 1-2 per cent in- terest. These terms do not sult the Trans-Oceanie Corporation. Bhe fast- er ships would be of value to the government in case of hostilities, it claims, and would be valuable as mail carriers in time of peace, o that the country, accordirg to the | company, could well Jaw so that change the three-fourths of the cost of construction could be loan- | ed, and the interest rate reduced fo | 3 1-2 per cent. The government loan for the six ships, according to this plan, would be §$34, . The |argumentations put forward to |ameliorate the ‘heinousness of the |culprit's crime falled because they [met with no public response of | credulity. It may be able to prove to the satisfaction of hair-splitting practitioners of psgudo-psythiatry that Hickman was an irresponsible character from the time he was born; but then, there are those who claim also that no one else is re- sponsible for his sins, that our ac- tions are beyond our control, that we really arc nothing but little | automatons in the machinery of the universe, Such fine distinctions, how- ever, are only for such super-minds as that possessed by Clarence Dar- row. Most of us have been brought up fo regard freedom of action as coupled with responsibllity; that he who does not restrain his evil tendencies must suffer punishment; that there is no excuse except in the canc'of bona fide warped mentality. The jury in Los Angeles refused to admit that Ilickman was eane every moment of his life except when he kidnaped the Parker girl. Tn coming to this conclusion they re- flected public opinfon generally, which has a way of coming to a pretty accurate estimate of the in- | sanity industry as a part of murder | trials.

Confessing we did not see much difference, we promised to hand the conundrum to the legal fraternity. PERSONAL TAX NOTICES Personal tax notices are a joy to the printer; at least, there is enough on them to furnish a first class job. | What gets our attention is the threat of dire happenings {f the reciplent should be 80 careless as to fail to pay. The whole law on the subject is quoted, containing the infarma- tion that the prosecuting attorney will get the case, and all the rest of it. There is also the important notice that if the tax is not paid by April 1 it will be $3 instead of $2; the law being quoted. All the exemptions likewise are quoted—in small type. “This tax is now due and payment is hercby demanded,” runs one im- portant line. We guess that is a businesslike way of going about collecting such an onerous tax. The usual business practitioner merely mails a bill and takes care not to ruffle the feel- ings of the reciplent. Tax collection is not bound by these considerations. Pay up or go to jail, seems to be the watchword. Husband and wife, being one, get the same number. These remarks are occasioned by the natural reactions that came up- on us upon taking the trouble fo read the tax notice. Yet with all these dire threats some citizens actually fail to pay with alacrity, TELLING IT TO THE SENATE After having admonished Colonel Robert W. Stewart to tell all he knew about the oil scandals, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., now finds him- self unetintingly sewarded for his paina. The Senate committee, eager to plumb all sources of information available, made a neat move in call- ing him to the witness stand. 1t is doubtful, however, whether he can tell half as much as the Hoosler; but there can be no question that he will be one of the most frank men the Senate ever had before it. FOOLISHNESS IN INDIANA This being the favorite season for favorite sons, the political picture is not improved thereby. ment that Senator Announce- Watson of Tn- diana would make a bid for the Re- publican nomination is pure camou- flage. He has as much chance of zaining the nomination as Senator RBingham, and the latter cannot get it because he was born in Honolulu, The Indiana boom for Senator Wat- son will be blown aside as &0 much chaff; Hoosier Republicans must be able te come into a convention with cleaner hands than they now have |in order to obtain even a respectrul | hearing.

It was nearly 2 o'clock this 'morning when the affair-ended, and the New Brit« ain_ men were so financially embar- rassed that they had to borrow the money to come home.
