THE VENEZUELAN TARIFF
1t May Call for the Exercise of q Re
tal1atOry Policy.

1t appears that the new Venezuela tariff.
which is about to go into effect, may call
for an exercise Of the retalitory clause of
the Dingley tariff law. The United States
minister to Venezuela, Mr.. Loomts, is to
make careful study Of the new law, with
view Of determining If it's effect Is to
discriminate unfavorably against the
United States. His report to the State De-
partment will probably determine whether
the negotiations to be conducted will be for
reciprocity or for retaliation.

ago because better APT reciated. Let
plan be suggested. Fo; "a q trust! A
genuine trust, combination of property
holders, possessing desirable cites, into
stock company land have it incorporated,
pool ell this land, and issue stock in pay
ment. Have all the combined property
surveyed and mapped into building lots
with the necessary streete, parks, etc.
To cover the cost of making all the i'm
provements spoken about previously
(sewage, sidewalks, trees, etc., issue
bonds on the property, and then boom
the town and project, by judicious ad
vertIsing, offering to all classes Of de-
sirable citizens home lot in one Of the
most beautiful and healthful townships
of old Connecticut, at q reasonable price.
The results of this undertaking would
ultimately be large and valuable add.
tion to the population; larger grand
list, a lower rate OF taxation. A new
interest in churches and schools, local
interest could come up. Hotels would
abound and take new lease of life, and
old Newtowu would be new Newtown,
and It's head on level with Lenox.
Holders of homssteads on the Street,
even if not members of the combine,
would feel It's influence and their proper
ty would advance towards its proper
worth.
This corporation or "trust" would be
verltable Village Improvement Society
with power to act. The financial result
to them would be good value for the
land sold (now comparatively useless),
and after paying for improvements good
returns. Thus the benefits to town, peo-
pie and investors would be accomplish
ed. The sc Id clothes'' of the past could
be relegated to glass cases in honor uf
those who wore them Alright in their day.
And the ''new clothes" could be donned
by the present generation with equal
honor to themselves and future commu-
mites. The old methods are passing.
The march of the new ia quick step,
and obstacles cannot bar the progress.
Before closing this article, permit me to
quote from the Boston Commercial Bull
letin from an issue but a few days old.
Speaking on Uhis subject, In connection
with abandoned farms in New Eng and,
1t says: "There Ia another solution of
the problsm of the abandoned farm here
In New England which the Secretary of
Agriculture has not apparently taken in
to account, and that Ia the advent of the
busy man of affairs and money into the
country villages during the summer
season. More and more every year these
farms are being bought and improved to
serve as summer homes, and as a conse.
quence there has been a perceptible In
crease in land values from Eastern
Maine to the shore of the Sound during
the last five.or even 10 years. The sum-
mer residents and the official representa-
tives Of the Department of Agriculture
promise to make rural New England
blossom into a semblance OF the Garden
of Eden before many years." II this
communication only succeed in bringing
about discussion of this matter 1t will
have sccomp lished It's object. Confidence
and enterprise will make a successful
termination Of the PLAN Advance.
