At the town meeting which is to be held Monday evening emphasis is being fald at this time in particular upon the appropriation for a tax map that will permit the board of assessors to func- tion more efficlently. ‘It is a matter which concerns the assessment of prop- erty and the question of taxation. It is desired In a community that is movinz forward that the machinery for doing business ghould keep pace with the re- quirements, We bave been told that our methods are antiquated, that we fail to provide our assessors with the proper tools to do business and in spite of that fact expect them to aeccomplish the impossible. Such statement is no revelation to mest of tho citizens. The shortcomings have long been obvious. We have ranted at the inequalities made possible by the present system, and yet have failed to apply the remedy. We have continued to plod mlong in the same old rut, wait- ng and hoping for the something that never happens to get us out of it. The question that confronts us now s whether we are going to act in behaif of Improved conditions, and make a start for the piacing of the property of the town on a basis of equality or whether we are going to continue as we are and continually complain over {lis which have long since become chronic. Norwich hasn't any tax money to throw away byt it has plenty of it to wpend if it is going to bring a justifiable system of real estate assessment and conditions that will result to the better- ment of the town and the relief of the laxpayers. From the devendence which other communities place upon a tax map cannot be regarded as a fad. This is & matter for the taxpayers to decide and they should make it a point to be at the town meeting Monday eve- ning and be heard. They are vitally concerned and there fs likewise the com- munity weifare to be considered. But it is not golely this proposition that calls for the attendance of the townspeople at this annual meeting. It is an open forum for the discussion of fown needs, a time when there should be manifested an interest in keeping with the important work of the various departments of the town government. It is @ time for telling the town officla's what is desired for the coming year and providing the necessary funds to accoms plish it. There are responsibHities at the town mepting which should be shoul- dered by the many and not left to the fow. THE SLOW MOVER. In view of the commendable efforts which have been made by the motor ve- hicles commissioner of Massachusetts in behalf of safer conditions in the high- way it is a bit surprising when Com- missibner Goodwin, in pointing out some of the dangers involved in “cutting in” declares that the driver of a vehicle go- ing & dozen miles an hour on a Sunday or holiday is more of a mensce than some going 25 or 30 miles. This would seem to indicate that he was advocating more speed for the slow travele», and what he has to say about the machine going a dozen miles an hour it is to be supposed applies to the horss drawn ve- kicle. It ls fully understood that drivers of autos do not like to be checked in their ecourse along the highway by the horse drawn vehicle, and it is understandable that the wame feeling ehould be mani- fested toward the slow woing auto, but t is rather ummsual to have greater speed urged instead of less, How fast the other fellow goes makes no difference except when it comes to passing him, and thenm thers iy wsually no trouble providing he Is willing to ehare the road, except when there is congiderable traffic in the other direc- tion. It is because of the problem of getting ahead of the slow mover that eriticism is oftered since cutting in 1s the cause of a great number of acci- dents. Nevertheless it canmot fail to be re- alized that cutting in is not restricted to the instances where others are go- ing slow and it will probably be found more aceidents result from speeding than from going slow. The glow mover may cause some shifting but it those ‘who know the dangers and rules regard- ing cutting in give dus respect thereto he offers no menace though he might fi somsone else’s speed for a 'brief NORWICH BULLETIN |55 service hag been hnmonmw time by thoss who have had the of the Bmeraid Isle at heart and wi % m Vndaretood what havoo he whs causing| o a0 o you® OPEN ACCQ IN THE NAME OF TWO there by the continuance of his hopeless effort.

The abdication of Mohammed VI, sultan of Turkey, in favor of his cousin would indicate the resogmition in Con- stantinople of the success of the Kemal- ists. Whether they will be disposed to accept his rule is not indicated, but it is evident that difficulties over the fact that the sultan followed the directions of the sailies will be Jessened. BETTER SIDEWALKS. In the city of Philadelphia a move- ment is underway in behalf of Detter sidewalks and the putting into shape of those that are in a bad state of repair. In ugging such improvement it is well a wise seleétion of civil rulers. In absolute monarchy the ruler is mot r sponsible to the people because he reigns theory of the divine right of kings. They simply take what he is dis- posed to give them, and usually that is not overmuch along the line of thelr wants and desires. The poor dupes stretch out their hands for the few crumbs they get, and that does not re- quire much ability. - But to frame the form of government a people wish to live by, to enact wise and just laws, and to appoint suitable rulers - requires the highest order of intelligence.

QUALIFYING FOR THE SERIES. The real interest in the big league champlonships this year has rested in the American league, where the contest between the New York and St. Louis teams has been close for much of the season, and now after a spurt when jt was supposed it had lost all chance the latter team is making a fight which may result in a tie, and therefore extra games to determine which team shall enter the world’s series against the New York Nationals. Today's contests are therefore as vital as any of the season and the hard fought contest indicates how well matched are the two leading clubs in this league. Such a finish is bound to whet the in- terest in the coming world’s series, andl it will be a decided surprise if the St. Louls team manages to nose out the New York aggregation which has been picked to win the <world’s champion- ship, This test of merit between the winners in the respective leagub is one of the great national sporting events, culminating as it does the baseball sea- son and bringing together some of U greatest ball players in the country. The aggregation of players that cap- tures its league's pennant must be given due credit for its accomplishment. Tt requires ball playing of superior ability and teamwork of the highest type to land in the coveted position, and when two such teams meet for a ‘series of games it is bound to attract fans from the four corners of the country and some out of the way corners of the globe. It is a contest that means much to these that participate and likewise to the lov- ers of baseball. EDITORIAL NOTES.

The keen observer of nature notices the sensitiveness of water to the least im- pact of the wind. As one tarries by the slde of such a lake as mentioned ia the above paragraph he Is surprised at the apparent fitfulness of the breezes. Some- times one-balf of the body is disturbed by tiny ripples. These quiskly disappear and then a small area elsewhere on the surface is disquieted. This sensitiveness to outward impression finds its counter- part everywhere in life. I have kuown 2 scowling face to bring tears to the eyes of a sensitive little girl; and once I saw a small boy burst into tears when he heard the ravings of a profsne drunken man. Sometimes the disturbing ripples plays on a collection of hearts. I ance heard a well-known divine quote the language of a profane man in his sermon, and it fell 'tke a 'wet blankat over his audience, really killing what otherwise would have been a2 most excellent ad- dress. The human heart Is a plate as sensitive to impressions as the surface of water. The remark was made in this column last week that we must walk all around an object in order to see it correctly. This is perfectly true of the great majority of objects we come in tact ‘with. ‘There are, ever, certain other things of which w can form- a right idea only from a single angle. Many of us have seen The Great Stone Face in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire. “The Old Man of the Moun- tain” has only the profile of a face. Seen directly in front there is no face at all. In a case like this it would be idle to walk around the mountain when it is only the profile that resembles the human face. And the area In which even. this can be seen to the best advantage is very small. To gee a fine pajnting it does no good to look at the back of the picture. ‘We do not gain anything by looking at | some things sidewise. While we must walk all around certain things to see them, other things will admit of only the straight look, from ene point only. Is there not some lone volce in this wilderness “of tears and smiles” braye enough to say some good word for the much-abused skirts. Is it the insig- nium of the downward trend of the world’s fair sex—or at least that part of it that inhabits the so-called civilized countrles? it might not be much of an argument to say that it was 2 saving of materfal if it were offset by any morsi considerations. The immoral part of it— if that phase of it is admissible—lfes largely in the mind of the opposite sex who reads immorality into it. |And to all such these bditter words “Shame be to him that evil thinks.” From the standpoint of healthfulness the short skirt has much to be said in its faver. In rainly weather the garments that touch, or are near to the ground natural- Iy abserb the moisture, and to sit in damp clothing until they are dry, to say the least, does not promote good health. It must also be admitted that it ‘com- ports with the attractiveness of the hu- man figure.

The bureau of labor statistics issues the Monthly Labor Review which is ful filling the purpose of an authoritative medium of all information relating to labor. ‘The broad range of material pub- lished in the review and the exact and up-to-Gate statistics presented have made it indispensable to those who seek au- thoritative information in all labor lines. Many important short articles on labor subjects are printed in the review and the results of investigations made by the Bureau appear in short reports on each phase of the subject as it is completed. Month by month developments in the whole field of labor are recorded, and do- mestic and foreign labor information is made promptly available. Reports of the various state Labor Bureaus and other agencies dealing with labor and digests and reviews of important new legislation, court decisions. and administrative orders effecting labor are pubjished promptly. Statistics of immigration, and summaries of the work of the various bureaus of the Department of Labor are presented, an? important trade agreements and the pro ceedings of important labor conferences in the United States and gbroad are sum- marized. . In addition to the Monthly Labor Re- wview the bureau of labor statistics pub- lishes in individual bulletins the results of the speeial investigations undertaken by the Bureau. The bureau has accomplished much in the direction of obtaining eo-operation among the labor bureau and similar agencies in the various state goyernments. It has likewise made progress toward the standardizing and harmenizing of state Jaws and administrative practise which affect the wage earner. These widespread activities of the bu- reau of labor statistics and the pains- taking performance of the duties of that bureau furnish the Department of Labor with that fundamental basis of fact ! which is vital to the carrying out of the purposes of humanity at which the De- partment aims. The information in the hands of the Bureau of Labor Statisties helps to provide the groundwork for the administrative policies and practice of the Department. Such statistics, however, can only be of value when kept alive—and when they can be secured to meet emergencles as they arie. Unfortunately the funds available will not permit of extensive in- vestigation into every case where statis- tics procured ‘quiekly would be of value. Adequate information concerning specific industries At a stated time would go a Jong way in settling disturbances when i they arise. Teo a limited extent the Bu- reau of Labor Statisties has rendered servige of this special nature, but when- ever it does so it must omit some other things which the American public has come to expest from them. To keep their figures alive and present them in an understanding manner for whoever iz in ed in the issue jin- volved is the aim of this bureau. Thess figures d¢ not take in account scores of, fhreateped disputes that would have involyed thousands of workers, that have been quietly and effectively averted through the advice and assistance of the Secretary of Labor and the conciliation officials.
