CIRCULATION &EEK ENDING MARCH 6th, 1920 ‘HOUSE SHORTAGE AND RENTS Rent profiteering is a subjeet that Has received and is still getting se- ridus attention in many cemmunities. 1t dsn't so much a refusal to pay any advance as it is a determination that tHé unreasonable shall not be exacted just heeause there is an epporunity for insisting upen it whether such is justified or mot. It is all the out- come of the lack of rents and an in- creaseq demands for housing accom- médations. It is a case, in not a few Instances, of forcing out present ten- ants or making them pay what would se required of the hjghest bidder. Jersey City has gone through a trying experience where 5,000 ten- ants refused to meet the increases lemanded. They did it on the re- sommendation of the authorities and Bhe direetor of revenue and finance of the city got busy and an amicable sadjustment was reached in most of he cases. less than 50 of the cases got into court, but it is interesting o note in this connection that greater #forts are to be made to provide mere homes in that and other New Jagsey cit Bills are bLeing prepared for actien by the legislature which would ex- empt buildtgs erected for dwell- ing purposes during the next \two years from taxation, and that would cities for the next three years buy land and build dwellings thereon. Sueh bill will carry refer- endum clauses but it is evident that the need for housing facilities are such that inereased indueements. must be offered and new methods sdopted for the meeting of the sit- uation. The demand for new houses is econ- fined to no one locality but it is plainly evident that unless some move is made and the needeq facili- ties provided there is bound to be opportunities furnished for the rent profiteers, while the very shortage is bound to force those whe can never be classed ns profiteers to get what- ever their property will bring just because the shortage exists and in- sufficient steps are being taken to meet it ’ THE LACK OF CARS Lack of means of handling trans- portation business on the railroads has Dbeen under fire from all “direc- tione during the peried of the war. Hecause it was believed the roads inder private management cquld not the situation the gevernment them ail over with the idea of ing efficiency. It was to be expected that under one general head better results would be obtained in get cooperative action. But there was nevertheless constant con- fict between the railroad and coal administrations regarding sufficient ears. In spite of all the railroad ad- ministration claimed in the-way of an adequate supply it was evident that not alwayvs abtainable, and just as the roads have been turn- #d back it is clearly shown that coal hines are not being operateq because enough cars cannet be obtained . . Regardiess of what the car short- 4ze was at the time the government took over meet ng coal was the lines it is apparent that it grew worse frem that time. This is shown in the figures that have heen put out by Semater Kel- legg in which he shows that the roads before the war added about $120.000 cars a yvear in each of the preceding five vears. About 90000 ware retired, thusyJeaving an annual gain of about 20.000. Under govern- mént operation of more than two years only 100,000 cars were added, and because of the increased service during the war the retiroment was greater than the average so that the additions didn’t take care of the re- placements and federal contro pir- ed with fully 100,000 less cars than when it started. Benator Kellogg also directs at- tention to the time spent under gov- ernment in attempting standardiza- tion of cars and locometives, In view of the fact that less than the customary additions -were made and retirements were increased, while wasg known that such control only temporary, to have been needless, and far from being a contribution to the efficien- °¥ of railroad service. The situation today thus gives support to the in- sigtent claim of the coal administra- tien long ago that there were not nars enough. was By the decision of the supreme court of the United States relative to stock dividends a question over which there has been much debate has been cleared up and a provision of the law by which the government has been collacting taxes hae been kmocked out. It will mean that the government will be forced to return a large sum of money already collect- *d under the law, but henceforth it qught to be definitely determined that stock dividends are not taxable. According to the majority finding the stock of a concern is a whele, regardless of the number of shares into which it ig qivided, and the is- sue of stock dividends simply means increasing the number of pleces. From the ruling of the ecourt a stock dividend shows the addition that has /been made to the value of the plant -‘. * previous capitalization, it that effort appears’ | withholding. n' “instead of| :-w:m them in the shape if cash| dividends ely . they ~were earnings back into the property and | make it mere valuable.

Apparently ‘ the intention ef these who put into operation the stock div- idend provisien of the tix law endeavoring those it wag thought would attempt to' cen- eeal income threugh such a method, but it was plaeing a pemalty on eonservative business methods and by the ‘coust's decigion cannot 'be law- fully done. d SANE AND DEFINITE program for taking caré of the sesvice men in the ‘recent war eongress without apparently paving any attention to details or te what was invelved. There was ne chance that such an idea would be ‘carried out for the more the mmmms WaS studied and the more the sentiment was sounded it became evidemt that even those whe might be expected to suppert such s plan were feund to be unfaverable, It is net to be suppesed that there is amy lack of appreciation new that the war is all but teehnically over on the part of the pedple of the country regarding the serviee render- ed by the soldiers and sailors. It is something that cannet be forgotten but there are limits te whieh it is im- possible to go in meeting demands for bonuses. Bx-soldiers &s feli as the public in general had to rub their| eves af the fact that twe and passibly | more billions would be required to comply with the \plan. But the mere unredsonable demand was the _in- sistence that it be rushed through at once. Colanel Jones of the executive committee of the American Legion has already admitted that the pres- entation of the LegioWs proposals in the form that was presented to the congressional committee was a serious mistake. This is realized to such an extent that he has promised that.the executive cemmittee will formulate what he considers a “sane and defi- nite pelicy” shertly. From this expression it is to be ex- pected that regson will gdvern the proposition to' be submitted in such a way as to find favor not only with the natienal legislators but with the public, but whatever the programme it should be submitted to proper scrutiny se as to know what it means and what it will call fer, and not railread it through blind} THE POLISH VICTORY Newa o vi i s of the vietory of the Polishj 318 DO} eimess—and forces over the bhelshevik army of Russia attracts attemtion at this time apparent that the Poles numbered a much smaller army than the reds and because of the efforts that have heen made in behalf of peace between Po- land anq soviet Russia. Witheut a question the success of the Poles in capturing - important center, ineluding a railroad -which cuts off supplies from Moscow and which puts the bolshevik ferces in as serious a plight as they had pre- viously put General Denikine, hound to beé highly encoyraging to the Poles. Whether the reds can being up sufficient reinforcements to overcome the temporary pesition ef the Poles remains to be seen, but if the latter can maintain their po- sition, and have actually accomplish- cd what they indicate they have, they have improved their position ma- terially and are better prepared fo insist upon the stand which will be taken when and if serious peace ne- gotiations are .attempted. It is significant that the claim should be made. at this time that so- viet Russia has notified the allies that it is ready to. negetiate for peace with Peland immediately, and| that it is held by the Polish press that the belsheviki are net sincere in un- dertaking such dealings as is to be noted by the claim that the clash is the reply: to perfidious bolshevik policy of begging fer peace while bringing up forees for an attack. If the Poles are able te centinue to held the upper hand in the field even as they have started out there can be no question but what they will be able to exact whatever terms they desire from the bolsheviki but tollowing this clash it will remain te be seen what the military attitude ;i the soviet government is geing to ERITORIAL NOTES No one is heard complaining these days because the snow and ice are moving off so rapidly. > The man on the COrngr says: hard to find anything | that closer than a nickname.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Need Disinterested Investigating Committee : Mr. Editer: In this morning’s in a report of the meeting of the gas and electric commission held Tuesday night, it says that the commission may accept the proposi- tion of the Eastern Connecticut Pow- er company to supply auxiliary pow- er but the acceptance ig conditional on the approval of the commission's expert, H. E. Mole of New York. - Now, the natural question arises, ho is qrunning the department, the commission or the expert. If the memberg of the commission feel they are not capable of conducting the the facts seem assumption—then their resigpa- to the mayor and allow him to apoint men who are competent. The citizens are very lavish in veting unlimited sums of' money to the commissien in city meeting only ‘to bear out the tions to be told before the year is half over that the amount voted is ex- hausted and an additional sum of from -$50,000 to $75.000 is needed to ! keep the plant’in operation: Neow it seems to me if the commis- sion would tell why it seemed neces- gary te empoy an expert and pay him upward of $60,000 the first year of his employment—and \gobody knows how much he has received since— and why the contract made with him was kept secret for over eighteen months thereafter, and then was only made public after the court of commen council voted for its pub- lication, the taxpavers might discov- er' why the appropriations voted are not sufficient to carry on the busi- ness. The only way the pavers of Norwich w izens and tax- ever find out the true cona on of its gas and ejectric plant is to appbint a d'sin- terested , investigating committee clothed with ample authority te issue supoenas and employ an honest and feariess attorney like Hon. William H. Shields, who would uncover the secret eontracts and = sinister influ- ences which have made municipal ownership' in Norwich a thing to be detested. Until: this is done T am afraid the taxpayers will have to dig down for more money as often in the future as they have in the past. CONSUMER Neorwich, March 10, 1920.

Charles on his fifth birthday had received an auto that started with a crank much after the fashien of his father’ But crank as hard and as fast as he ceuld, Charles failed te get an explosion. So Charles tried cranking the pi- anb, the chairs, the table and other articles of furniture. He was tir- ing of this when the cat walked ma- jestically into the room, and of course Charles saw an opportunity hefore him and he grasped it. A few cranks of the tail of the cat gave signs of results with a “spitz, spitz, meow.” Then Charles Ht up with glee and exclaimed, “Ol, loek, papa, I go* an explosion.” What's In a Name An officer some time ago ordered a number of licenses to be granted to members of the law association.

For uncounted ages, various people sifted through the secluded val- leys leaving a fraction of their number in some remote spot $6 that at one time El Azizi said that thére were 300 tribes and dialeets in the region 450 miles long and 100 milés broad, which he called the ‘Mountain of Languages.’ “Strabo spoke of 70 races of men, some of them armed with poisoned arrows and wearing skin shoes with spiked soles. Troglodytes there were and are. The Caucasus is a sort of three ring group of natural marvels compressed between Burepe and Asia, between the Black Sea and the Cas- pian. “On the European slape, the Can- casus is flanked by the Cossaks of the Don, the Kuban and the Terdk, along whose banks the famous Tolstoy serv- ed as a yeung soldier. “On the Asiatic side, there are the new republics of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia, partly ecarved from | Russign, partly from' Turkish lands. “Within the Cgucasus itself there are still many strange tribes. Most handsome of all are the Mingrelians and their neighbors the Imeretians The Gurians and Svans, the Khevsurs, Tushes and Abkhasians, the Kabards, the Ossetians, Lesghians, Tchetchens and Tatars,—all are huddled In a region so lacking in roads or modern communications that each tribe is as isolated as though it possessei a con- tinent of its own. . “The people who have left tho deep- est impress on the Caucasus, although most of them emigrated to Turkey in 1864, are the Tcherkese of Circassians. The loveliness of their women forme the lure of countless harem tales and the daring of the men furnishes the contrast to the houri-like charm of the Circassian maidens- who made harems popular, met only along the beautiful Bosphorus, but in romantie literature as well. “The Tcherkess gave te the Caucasus and the faney dress ball the Tcher- keska, the familiar skirted cestume of the warlike Cossak and the lithe Georgian grandee.
