This boulevard is used for more speeding than any in town, and the police can do no better than 1o keep a steady eye on it. It might cost the city a little extra money to have additional metorcycle officers patrolling it, but the possible fines would yield a neat profit on the in- vestment and in the long run pre- ments from New England. NOOVER AND THE SENATE For a president of the United States to be at least slightly at odds with the Senate is something of a normal condition. The climax came 4 i 1 during the second Wilson adminis- | pjetor would do well to_place some tration, and there have been recur- rent anti-climaxes ever since. The mest recent was that of late yester- day, when the Senate stood all fours for farm relief with the de- benture plan, contrary to the wishes of the President. Mr. Hoover round- ly “condemned” the Senate for its | perversity; but what good does that do? Presidents have been condemn- ing the Senate since it started. more or less, and there is no evidence that the Senate ever becomes un- duly alarmed at presidential con- demnation. Although the Senate vote was close, 46 to 3, this was a few bet. | ter in favor of debentures than had | been anticipated. For several days the forecasters had said a tie would result, . and that Vice President Curtls’ vote would be required to break It. This would have been a victery for President Hoover, as the .Vice President is supposed to work hand in glove with the administra- tion. Such a fond expectation, how- over, falled to materialize. But the end of the pretty tussle has not arrived, and we dont doupt that the end will be a victory for farm rellef on the Hoover plan. Should the House vote on Thursday instruct the confreres to stick to | their guns, the Benate is expected to | yield. This may be merely another expectation, of course; but if some oort of bill, however ineffectual, is net agreed upon the administration will receive a black eye in the eyes | of the agricultural citizenry. It must e remembered that the special ses- sion was called to provide farm re- | let, or at least to go through the metions ef providing such relief. and to be stalled in this manner will be & serious blow. THE FURORE ABOUT CARNIVALS Carnivals take meoney from a city. But se do chain order houses. S0 do absentee land- lords and absentee stockholders. So do sutemobile manufacturers. 8o do moving picture producers. 8o do citisens whenever they spend money elsswhere, be it on & business trip or & vacation. Meney is going out of the city all the time. And as it goes out, it also comes in, largely through the aid of the industrial plants. The argument that carnivals are an evil because they take money out of a city, therefore, scarcely holds water. A more logical criterion is where- by ene seeks to determine what specles of enjoyment or entertain- jadvertised itself as givi | carnival, | ferocious New Britain officials, has stores and mail | fact that they obtain patronage from this city indicates that some citisens owning automeblles care for the apecies of entertainment offered. Even it New Britain were to take down the bars against carnivals, and double or treble the fees, there would be no need for carnivals to show in this city to reach New Brit- ain residents. The spot alongside Willow Brook park in Kensington seems ideally situated for New Britain business, and carnival pro- prietors can afford to smile at the furore in New Britain. If they have a sense of humer, they doubtless are smiling quite broadly. " The question then resolves upon the obligations of Berlin toward its neighboring big brother. Unless our knowledge of human nature is de- fective, we anticipate no help what- ever from Berlin's officials. Berlin is a bit peeved at New Britain at this moment, having had the cost of fire- fighting services more than doubled. and being forced to meet the exac- tions of the fireboard without pos- sibility of an alternate plan of its own. Lying prostrate, Berlin suffer- ed as the heavy boots of New Brit- ain’s fire commissioners stepped on her. This puts Berlin in the mood to let New Britain suffer in turn in connection with the carnival men- ace. As the sports writers would say, it is not “50-50." The Berlin carnival, it appears, g a show in Willow Brook park. This naturally was slightly in error and constituted improper advertising; but it was not misleading. Everyone would know that the carnival practically is in New Britain's park, that it practical- ly is in New Britain, that it would 80 into the red were it not for trade from New Britain, Meanwhile it is evident that the through the agency of obtained considerable valuable first- page advertising.

EXPANDING COMMUNITIES When Connecticut cities and towns begin to spread their business sections to other than the Main streets it is a pretty good sign that they are growing. Middletown be- gan sometime ago, and announce- ment Saturday by the Connecticut Power Co. of the acquisition of property on Broad and Court streets is another indication of the trek of large concerns off Main street. —Middletown Press. It is a slow process, however. Nearly every community in Con- necticut has been built up around a “center;” a town without such a designated area is rare. For genera- tions most business has been cen. tralized toward such centers, trolley lines and bus lines radiate to it, and it 18 the terminus for almost all the crowds who come downtown. It is difficult to change the habits of long- standing. But. as the Middletown paper notes, it is being done, and a sure sign of growth in our com- munities is when the thraldom of the centér is broken and business ' houses take to other streets. We have had a beginning of this in New Britain, except that the situation is somewhat underestimat- ed here because this city possesscs five strects of the “Main” family— Main, South Main, North Main, East Main and West Main—which by the way is the most confusing system for strangers that was ever invented. For generations only Main street, more or less contiguous to the Cen- ter, was almost solely deveted to business, today the business center has expanded to include a goodly part of the other Main streets, which jut from downtown in various directions, and so long as such expansion has been away from the center it qualifies as such regardless of the name of the streets. Concentration of commerce with- in a small area of a city is a good thing for realty owners ewning pro- perty thereabouts, but its expansion to other streets aids realtors in other sections. Such expansion is in part dictated by econemic reasons; when rent gets so high in a central- ized area that business finds it a |burden it is natural that it will | break bounds. That no doubt is what has happened in Middletown, in New | Britain and in scores of other cities where this tendency 18 noticeable. ment carnivals offer te citizens for their earnings of last year. Which ssems to prove definitely that with the increasing dispropor- tion between prices paid for stocks and earnings per share, the per- centage of return to the purchaser upon his investment has grown smaller by a large margin. Of course, shares in the recent bull markets were bought principally upon the hope they would rise in price, and few buyers seem to have been interested in the possibilities of returns upon a long-time invest- ment. During 1927 and 1928, accord- ing to the computations of the Standard Statistics Co., the yield on |90 common stocks tell from over § per cent to about 3 1-2 per cent. It can be said, therefore, that such stocks, representing the majority of the popular isues, are trifling com- pensations for investment. One can obtain decidedly higher returns at a savings bank. This would deter in- vestors were it not for the fact that stocks nowadays are not bought for the possibility of current income, which once was a definite part of | the reckoning. From the standpoint of current income most of these highly touted stocks bring in less returns than bonds; yet, during the recurrent bull markets, the bond market was affected unfavorably. i The person paying, say $200, for a common stock earning 6 per cent on a par of $100 is earning only 3 per cent; but what nine out of ten of the buyers anticipate or hope for. is that the stock will go up to $250 be. fore it turns back in its flight. The marginal “investor” takes even greater chances, being in a greater hurry to earn or lose money without mental effort. To many the disparity between average prices of common stocks and the average earning power of the corporations is unhealthy economics; but a serious recession to former levels would spell disaster for thou- sands of innocent purchasers and might well create difficult times fi. nancially. The aternative is an in- crease in corporation earnings to provide current income commen- surate with the increased values of the average common stocks, but this is extremely unlikely. Time may solve the riddle, but time doesn’t hurry. THE FREIGAT RATE THREAT TO NEW ENGLAND Something is always “threatening” INew England. At the moment there is an effort under way to increase the freight rates, which if success- ful will cost shippers $10,000,000 a year additional. New England must pay long.distance rates for raw material, and must pay similar rates to ship the finished sproducts to some of its marketa The New York rate, prized by New England, is at stake; and also the differential rates on west-bound traffic over the Canadian routes. The latter In the past have been a treasured shield to shippers in fighting the exactions of the trunk lines. This tifme there is also an attack made upon the differ. ential rates, this through the influ- ence which the trunk lines are said to exercise in the policies of the Canadian lines. The eastern class rate investiga- tion has been going on for several years. Hearings were held in Boston in 1925. The object has been to dis- cover the irregularities in rates and provide a better rate structure be. tween central freight territory and the East. This led the carriers to present a readjustment scheme to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion which is based on milcage. The contention of New England is that a mileage basis will reducc the area in which her industries can com- pete, but is willing to compromise with a plan whereby mileage rates can be used up to a distance of about 400 miles of Boston, and that for points beyond rates be blanketed. Chicago shippers, however, strongly urge the mijeage basis. A mileage basis would increase New England shipments 7 cents a hundred pounds on first class traffic. For nearly 50 years New Eng- land has shipped goods to the cen- tral territory at the New York rates; but shipments east bound have been higher than the Chicago-New York rate, on a scale from 7 cents on first class commodities to 2 cents on sixth-class commodities. The car- riers originated the different rates in order to obtain a maximum of west- bound tonnage: for every five car- . the money they got.

Certainly not if they can induce the Canadian lines to withdraw the dif- ferential. The trunk lines are re- ported to have voted to use their in- fluence with the Canadian lines to discontinue the differential, and it that succeeds there will be no more New York rate for westbound ship. ments for New England.
