ABANDONING A HOOL The Parents and Teachers’ associ- ation of the Central Junior High | | rates establishing a closcr parity be- school has called attention to defects | in the building in a rather forceful manner. Obviously, does not think the city will abandon the building for a long time; but the reason given for improving it can scarcely be controverted. The sizzling report calls attention for the first time to the evils of a sohool located so close to the city's heavy downtown trafic. When it was constructed the itself upon having a school building 20 close to the central part of the city. This was considered a v>st ad- vantage. Now there is eviafice that the parents of students have veered to the other opinion—that a build- ing located downtown, forcing chil- dren to battle with heavy traffic to reach it, is a source of worry. ‘With the expenditure of compara- tively little money the Central Junior High building can be modernized along the lines indicated. All observ- ers who have gone through the building readily admit that this win be necessary. HUNTING WITHIN THE CITY Hunting within the city limits does not seem reasonable.

If it could be explained to them that fraternity life after it is over sinks into oblivion compared with life in general in New Haven, then hard feelings among the players them- sclves might be wiped out. A big- ger and better team might be the outcome. TARIFF TINKERING DUE The Fordney-McCumber tariff act will have been in effect seven and @ half years when the Hoover admin- istration takes over the ship of state. The average life of the six tariff acts adopted during the 40-year period preceding was six and a half years. There are people in and out of Congress who believe the time has come for more tariff tinkering; the only difference of opinion is the kind of tinkering that should be accom- plished. On the closing day of the last ses- sion of Congress a special Senate committee, appointed to investigate the Tariff Commission, reported an assortment of sharp criticism re- garding the character of appoint- meunts made upon the commission, and also criticized the manner in which the flexible tariff provisions of the law had been manipulated. Previously the Senate had adopted a resolution declaring that “many of in the existing tariff excessive, and that the an immediate downward revision of such excessive dules are Senate favors lieving it will result to the general benefit of all.” What the Senate docs or thinks about the tariff, however, has had little upon President Coolidge, who has resisted all pro- on of the tariff by ground that the flexible tariff provisions supply ade- quate machinery for The President’s method of opérating the flexible machinery, however, has us- ually been upwards, The Republican platform which Mr. Hoover rode into presidenc of tarift r: influence jects for a re Congress on the relief. upon the promises upward revision s on agricultural pro- ducts, than a downward re vision on manufactured products.

Manufacturers inclined to go through a similar trial of patience in 1929.

The new Sen- wi ate after March 4 will he composed of a substantial majority—56 Re- ! publicans, 39 Democrats, 1 Farmer-Labor. Tt will be a different an ,kind of Senate than its predecessor. The call is likely to be up. One man’s guess is as good as another's; but the outlook is that no rate will e inercased and plenty of them will advance, R OF STATISTICS It was inevitable that this critical age would apply the higher criticism against statistics.

It 18 a bold person indeed who will quote them without at least a foot note stating their source and then making it plain that he only cites them for what they are worth; which is saying, “they may be correct or they may be wrong." The modern audience, burdened with doubt and inclined toward churliehness, inevitably con- cludes that the argument may be all right if the statistics are reasonable but there is no proof that the statis. tics are worth considering seriously. There are too many divers organi. zations dealing in statistics nowadays to please the particular. Take two organizations immersed in trying to get the public to understand their own brands of specious pleading, one being being on one side of the argu- mentative fence and the ether on the {other side. Both can prove their arguments up to the hilt by the simple process of announcing rows of statistics, figures which frequent- ly are based upon the same source. Their interpretations of the figures will differ as much as the figures. Naturally the befuddled citizenship ultimately runs to cover by giving scant attention to all statistics, good and bad. They are in no position to tell the phony ones from the real ones and nobody but a helpless optimist would expect them to take too much for granted. Even in this city of, say 75,000 souls, there is a disagreement on the statistics about what the schools cost. There are two sides to the dis- cussion, which is as usual, and cach side has different percentages.

CHANGING THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM The vlectoral whereby ecach candidate reccives all the elec. tors of a state even if his majority in the state is only a few hundred, has been subject to much eriticism. system for a minority candidate to be elected President, or the election of the presidency thrown into Con- gress—both of which have happened —excites end |among pelitical thinkers. When the electoral system was en- fted in Constitution ther > no political 8. The first Congress, in fact, did not favor po- litical parties, however, and ment the ear clectoral system should function was greatly altered. To change the clectoral system would not require a Constitutionat amendment, as is generally suppos- no of uneasthess the wei part These developed, their develop- v intention of how the with ed; but It would require co-operative laction by the states, which have the power to cleminate the unit rule which throws all (he electoral votes of a state to the candidate obtaining a majority of votes during an elec- tion. A writer in the New York World contrihuted valuable thoughts on this subject when he had printed the following modus operandi: Unlike the whole clectoral aystem itself, the unit rule is casy to abolish. No federal law or constitutional amendment i3 necessary, since the determination of the methods of election is Ioft to the states. Suppose 1hat the New York vofer, for example, elocted only three of the clectors rather than all 45. The number of electors is equal to the number of congressmen. Why not clect them as congressmen congressional district would ¢ one elector, and {wo—corresponding to the two senators—would be clect- cd by the whole state. In this manner the popular vote I would be acenrately represented. Tn. to a cundidate carrying the state by a few hundred—which was the ca of Wilson in 1916 and Cleveland in 11884—they would be divided be- ween the candidates according to another in small congressional districts. Minori- ties not of cither large party would reccive their proper repr tation {in the clection of w President. If the entire country followed this method | the election would be truly a popular jone, representing the real decision of |the people. | The spirit of the American Con- |stitution, which devised the clectoral system in order 1o take this power from the hands of the people, would be defeated.
