Against the Contract System.

The report of the Senate District commit
tee, submitted with the bill Is. 300Sl au-
thorizing the Commissioners 10 use day
labor on certain municipal works. is of
considerable interest. 1t is of unusual
length, embracing the report Of the District
Commissioners, the argument of Mr.. E. NJ.
Blake, representing the Federation, a re-
port, printed in The Star, of hearing on
the subject before the Commissioners, and
also the letter recently submitted by the
Commissioners to Senator Mcmillan on the
subject of municipal street sweeping.
In conclusion, the District committee
says: This committee having in mind the
absolute inadequacy OF the garbage coiec-
tlon under contract; also the fact that the
Dlstrlct pays IN the neighboIhood of So
ooo annually for supervising the street
sweeping under contract, thus leaving to
the contractor only the work of hiring
men and teams, which could quite as well
be hlred or owned by the District, and
propahly with saving Of money; and also
tne TACT that some radical change is need
ca IN school construction in order to adapt
them to modern ideas of architecture and
convenience, were quite prepared to go so
far as TO authorize the District Commits
sloners, in their discretion, to undertake
the erection of school buildings by day la
Dor; to allow them to construct sewers as
they now lay water mains; and to under
take street sweeping and garbage collec-
tion.''

The experience of France at the time
of the discovery of gold in California
is in point here In 1913 France coin
ell two millions of gold and twenty
millions of silver. In 1851, when the
production of gold had been enormous
ly increased France coined seventy
millions OF gold and two mil
lions of silver, and yet the price Of
gold did not ut any time, uotwith
standing the enormous change in the
ratio, vary over 4 per cent. If the law
applies to silver, it must also apply 70
gold, and here the experience Of
France shows that increased produc
ton does not necessarily mean n fall
in the price of the article produced.
Boycott any article of trade or COM
merce, and the price of that article
will fall This is what the United
States practically did with silver when
it deInonetized silver in 1878. II silver
is remonetized, we believe the price of
silver will gradually rise, and we will
have not Il debased currency, but q
sound currency on Il sound basis, and
not what we now have, a so-called
sound currency on a basis propped up
with frequent bond issues.
France is today on a bimetalic
basis, and her wonderful prosperity
bellies many of the arguments advanc-
ed by the opponents of bimetalism.
FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.
The Hartford County School Com
misSioners, at their meeting on Tues
day, decided to provide school books
free of charge to pupils of the first six
grades, leaving pupils Of the higher
namely, bypurchase at their own eX-
pense or by the payment of book fees.
1t was found impossible for the board
to do more than this, in view of the
unavoidable obligations already in
Cured, but the hope is held out that
next year the School Commissioners
will be in position to extend free
school books to all of the grades.
The amount which will fall to the
share of Hartford county, in the dis
tribution of the free school book fund,
will be $4,000 The sum heretofore
collected from book fees amounted
annually TO $500, leaving s., 900 more
to be raised by taxation than hereto
fore, to supply all the grades with
books. Only two counties in the
State, it is stated, have decided to
furnish books free to all pupils in their
public schools, and of the remainder
no county, we believe, have extended
the free list beyond the sixth grade.
The record of the school board show
that there were only 3G4 pupils en-
rolled in grades above the sixth, and
the average attendance for four terms
during the year was under 800, so that
the income from book fees from this
source will scarcely reach $1,000.
In providing free books the board
has ordered teachers to hold the
pupils responsible for proper care of
the books lent to them, making them
accountable for abuse or destruction
of books.

No more gratifying choice could
have been made by the Second Con

ton of Hon. George NJ. Jewett, for one
of the highest Offices in the gift of the

Untrammeled by any promises or eff
forts he was the choice of the majority

at their meeting last week.
At the Congressional Convention on
Wednesday, no personal effort was
made by him or his friends TO obtain
the coveted gift of leading the party to
victory in November, but to the con
trary every delegate was left to make
his own selection.
The result cannot be received, but
one way and that is with universal
satisfaction. Every faction of the

will, we are sure pass a bill for free
