offender is a corporation. it's charter tinues in it's offenses. The Courant says:
 Under the act if a Hartford police man should be shot and dangerously wounded by a burglar no newspaper tsa Hartford or elsewhere in the Sta.e ~cuid publish a cut of him until he died or resigned. But this is only the beginning. When the chief of police of any place having a police force, or the selectmen of towns not having o:ie. shall have received word of the commission of "any crime" in their precincts they shall immediately des7 ignate some officer or other discreet person "who shall have authority either general or specific to give to his discretion tend to the assistance of the authorities and such informa- tion shall be given to the public in print or writing only. The official press agent shall at once file a dupl1- cate copy with the prosecuting author, ity." No person or corporation shall publish or sell any information con- corning clues to an offender nor any statements as to whom the authori- ties suspect until after the press agent shall issue statement that all intended arrests have been made or that the offender has escaped. The same s200 fine is back of this section also. The bill should be entitled "An act for the elimination of the police reporters" What nonsense!
 It is worse than nonsense. It prac- ticaly establishes a censorship. and in- fringes the constitutional freedom of the press. We doubt very much whether any prosecuting or police au- thorities favor such a measure.

RAILROADS GROW STRONGER SINCE
 RATE DECISION
Special from United Press.)

New York; March 2-That the finan- cial position of the railroads is strong CT today than before the Interstate Commerce Commission refused permis sion to increase freight rates is shown by the announcement that since the decision was announced S86, ,000,0 900 in new railroad securities have been dis posed of. These include S50,00,0O0 Gen. tral Pacific bonds taken in Paris $10,- 900, 900 St. Paul and Kansas City short line bonds in New York and London, SIP, 800 900 Erie six percent notes in New York and $13, 3,500,000 preferred stock of the Studebaker Corporation taken over by banking interests.
 It is generally accepted here, today, that the stand of the commission against increasing rates has so pleased the big manufacturing interests that they are all preparing for phenomenal business. This naturally will be re. flected in increased earnings by the railrOads.
 Financial experts, after consulting the figures, say that the amount of interest and dividends falling due to- day, and to be disbursea within tne next 15 days, is in excess of Sf00, ,000 900 showing an ample margin over last March. This sum will be reflected in the bank statements very soon and, 1t is predicted, will aid materially to the country's prosperity.

REDUCTION IN TAX RATE

Last year. City Auditor Heating rec commended tax rate of 16 mills. ana the Board of Apportionment made II IA mills.
 This year. Auditor Keating's recom- nendation was 16.7 mills. and the Board of Apportionment has fixed the rate at 17.2 mills. This is mills greater than the Auditors recommen- dation. but mills less than last years rate as fixed by the Apportioners. It had been hoped that. in view of exist ing conditions which apply strongly 10 industrial cities, the board would ma a way to accept the Auditors recom- meudation which was mills less than last years rate. It has made a re- duction of mills from last years rate, and this. though small. will De grateful to the owners of small homes.
 It Is the rapid growth of the city that necessitates such large expendi- lures. Public Improvements. increase of necessary services, etc. demand yearly increases in expenditures, and they are practically unavoidable. An increasing population makes them absolute necessities.
 It is to be regretted that the Alp portioners could not make larger reduction from last years rate. but they probably exercised that desidera- 4.1m of discretion. their best judgment. than which none can do more or bet ter. They are entitled to the thanks of the public for having resisted the tendency toward increased taxation, and for having reduced the burden. even though the reduction be but amaH.
 whether they have wisely appor- tioned the city's> revenue is another question. upon which opinions may differ widely. as mems interests vary. It Is reasonable to assume that in this as upon the tax rate they have exer-- cised their best judgment. but the proof of a pudding is in the eating. and we shall be better qualified to judge as time passes.
 In the meantime. we may congrat- ulate ourselves upon a reduction in the tax rate :.

TAINTED MONEY FOR
 HIGHER EDUCATION

Special from United Press)
 Washington. March 2-An assertion that successful campaign against tainted money would wipe out every college and university in the country made by pr. J. H. Howerton, profess sor of Philosophy at Washington S. Lee University, revived today, the na- tion-wide controversy over educational endowments. Dr. Howerton said high CT education and tainted money are in separable.
 Tainted money is among us,' he declared. 'It is educating our young. Professors and students study and live at ease on the money thus obtained.

ssPOPULAR CI.AMOR" MEANS
 PUBLIC SENTIMENT

The objections to such a public ser vice commission as is outlined in the Business Mems bill. which was voiced by President Mellen on Tuesday, and his arguments in support of his pro- posed substitute. a commerce court, all resolve themselves down into dis trust of the people. He fears that commission would be influenced by popular clamor", and he believes that his proposed commerce court would not be so influenced.
 Popular clamor" is the corporate name for public sentiment. The peo- pie desire a commission for the exact reason that MT. Mellen does not, viz, that public sentiment would reach it's ears and be given rightfl considera- tion The railroad company desires a commerce court for the precise req son that the people do not. viz. that it's ear would be dulled to popular clamor"-that is. public sentiment. It is a very plain issue.
 The people do not wish their griev- ances against public service corpora tions to be heard and decided with sole view to the strict letter of the law. as would undoubtedly be the fact with a commerce court. even though its judge should be impartial. They desire that there should be no drastic Limitation to evidence, and that exact equity should be the sole object of decisions. And they do not believe that their desires would be met by a commerce court with it's entire pro- cedure formulated practically under tfe auspices of the Supreme Court i: they do believe that a commission. constituted of business men in its majority would be much more likely to take a broad view of grievances and to- render equitable decisions
 It Is needless to go into the details of President Mellen's argument; it's pith is found in his objection to pop ular clamor'' and in his evident desire 10 exclude public sentiment from con- alteration and weight. It is 'the came old story in the same old way

JAPAN THINKS SHE MUST
DOMINATE THE PACIFIC

Washington, d. c., Mar. 21.-"Japan
is obsessed with the idea that il must
dominate the Pacific FOR its own pre-.
servation and must have its due share
of Chinese trade now and in the fu.
ture. This notion is as fully fixed in
the Japanese mind as was the idea that
IL Russia was permitted to obtain un.
due influence in Korea the Japanese
nation would be destroyed. Sooner
or later this notion will bring about
war between Japan and the United
States. l do not expect it to occur
before the completion of the Panama
canal, which, from our point OF view
is essential, but it may occur any time
within twenty years."
This expression of opinion was
made today by high official of the
government who has enjoyed excep
tional advantages in observing rela
tions between Japan and the United
States, both from the outside and the
inside. While frankly admitting that
he does not expect war with Japan in
the near future, he, like other keen OBJ
servers of the situation, is well aware
of all the steps being taken by Japan
with view to war with his nation
at any time. Notwithstanding his
knowledge of the subject he still main
tains that war is a possibility of the
future only.
In connection with the recent mobili
zation of troops in Texas is can be
stated that the United States army is
about to undergo complete reorganiz
alton, SO far as the placing Of troops Ii
concerned. Greater bodies of soldiers
will be the future programme, doinf
away with many small army posts
made necessary in the past by Indian
wars.

PARSONS BUSINESS COLLEGE
TO HAVE new BUILDINGS

That competition is the life of
trade" is fully demonstrated by the
fact that the Parsons Business College
has outgrown its present quarters. A
few years ago this institution had prac-
tically no competition for hundreds of
miles in any direction Today it is
surrounded by colleges in nearly every
town and hamlet. This fact proves
that the Parsons Business College has
made good, and is still in the lead.
In the new building more than six
thousand feet of floor space will be
occupied by the school, and thus af-
ford every modern convenience for it's
enormous enrolment. The Parsons
Business College has been established
for more than twenty years, during
which time more than seven thousand
students have gone out from its walls
into the business world.
The new building is equipped with
every modern convenience, including
electric fans, and will be an ideal
place for spring and summer study.
The spring term begins Monday, April
3, when many public school teachers,
who have decided to enter the business
world, will enter that institution. A
handsome catalogue, containing full
information about the school, is mail
ed free of charge, and may be had
by addressing the secretary of the
