of highways occupied by their tracks. and there is no adequate reason for exemption from this obligation when the tracks cross bridges. Theirs is the heaviest most damaging use to which bridges are subjected, and it is necessary to erect larger. stronger and more costly bridges because of their use by trolley cars. The bill now pending in the General Assembly provides that trolley companies shall pay proportionate part of the cost of construction and maintenance. This migs: be interpreted as meaning, for instance. that if the tracks occupy one-third of the structure the com pany should pay one-third of the cost. Or the proporcion might be decided by the division of traffic between trolley cars and ordinary vehicles. But if entertainment of the proper proportion be based upon relative wear and tear from use. it is clear that the trolley company should pay for more than one-half of the cost.
 The matter of apportioning the cost is now in the hands of New Haven's Corporation Counsel. Bridgeport's City Attorney and the trolley company's counsel. Their decision will doubt less be accepted by the General As sembly. for the company seems to have accepted the principle that 1t must share in the cost and mainte- nance of bridges.

COMMISSION PLAN
 OF GOVERNMENT

The most important of the resoau- tions passed by the Business Mems Association, Wednesday night. relates to the construction of a new city charter, to be presented for adoption to the General Assembly of 1913, though 1t mieht possibly be presented to the present body in the event of recess to January next being taken.
 Under the resolution in cues ion. construction of the new charter would be entrusted to the Mayor. City Audi tor. City Attorney. two Aldermen. one Apportioner and one member each of the Board of Trade Taxpayers League and Manufacturers and Busf- ness Mems Associations-ten in all six of them connected with the city government and four with civic bod ies. Nothing in referenoe to political division of the membership is included in the resolution. though the Mayor who Is empowered tn name the two Aldermen and one Apportioner. could appoint members of his own party.
 This would give. if the City Amditor be cla4sed with the majority party. control of the committee to the party dominant in the city government. even though all of the four members to be named by the civic bodies should be mcmbers of the minority perty. If the City Auditor be classed with the minority. there would be a tie polit- ically. Should the committee divide upon political lines. the Auditor would be shouldered with special responsi- bility, 1t being within his power to either give a majority to the domi- nant party or to bring about tie. Possibly. the Business Men intended this situation. having full confidence in the ability and impartiadity of Auditor Keating.
 The avowed purpose of the associa- tion Is ascert ainment of the aplicabil- ity of the commission plan to the government of this city. and the ad- visibility of its adoption if found applicable. There are various forms of the commission plan. some radical and others modified. some commend able and others the reverse. Whether the commission plan is advisable for Bridgeport depends upon which of the several forms may be favored by the committee. Generally speaking. the forms which give more immediate and direct control to the people. may be placed in the commendable class. But the first question for decision is, whether or not any change from our present. form of government is de- rnanded by existing conditions.

\ TELEPHONE FOR EACH HOME
 IN MANITOBA
This Is Aim of Government Service Which Operates
 Telephones

Winnipeg, March 4.-The annual re- port of the Manitoba government telephone system shows that the pub- lic-owned plant has made wonderful strides and has now long passed oul of the experimental stage. The number of subscrif31s made re- markable increase jumping no less than 8,336, so that to-day the total number of subscribers is 33, ,445. Win nipeg's increase was the greatest. there being a growth in the number of phones in the city of 27 per cent. showed nearly as great growth, and over 3,722 farms were connected with the government system. It is the aim of the government to have the telephone within the reach of every man in Manitoba, even to the most isolated homesteader, and at the pres ent rate of progress this will be ac- complished within less than five years.
 The year 1910 saw a growth in rev enue in keeping with the increase in the size of the system. The revenue from all sources for the year am- ounted to the unprecedented sum of s103S,466 or some 31 per cent. in- crease
 The government system since it was acquired from the Bell has increa ased its long distance lines. The govern nent has extended lines so rapidly that there is hardly farmers phone in the province that cannot be con nected up with Winnipeg. In the last year no less than 1,4s1 miles of long distance lines were added to the system, while the increase in revenue from this source was 19 per cent The government system now owns $50 of fees and III exchanges.
 It will interest eastern Canada to know that the governme ent commis- sioners hope shortly to be able to secure a satisfactory service with eastern cities both Canadian and Am erican A step in this direction was taken during the year. when new cooper line was built from Winnipeg to the boundary line connecting with

LA TOILETTE
 ATTACKS TAFT
Wisconsin Progressive Sen ator Hits Hard at Knox
 and Taft

Madison, Wis. March 4.-In a bit ter attack on dollar diplomacy" Sen ator LaFollette prints the following in this weeks issue of LaFollette's $ Weekly:
 ''The Taft-Knox dollar diplomacy has scored again. This time it is a trade with Japan.
 The United States has given up it's treaty right to exclude Japanese la- borers, leaving in it's place a gentle mems agreement which. without the treaty provision, is nothing.
 "The dollar diplomacy is more in- terested in more concessions in Man churia than in Japan. The dollar diplomacy, has traded our navy's se- crets for contracts for the Schwab Shipbuilding Company.
 "The dollar diplomacy is meddling in Turkey to get some railroad con sessions for American fnanciers.
 What next? Is there anything more? Anything which Mir. Knox and President Taft will not give to foreign nations in exchange for the business desired by their friends in Wall streete"

Y. ". C. AS PLANS FOR LENT.

The Young Women's Christian As- sociation has had for it's guest the past week., Miss Sarah Wells, of New York. who is travelling among the city associations of New England, New York and New Jersey, for the purpose of reorganization and de- velopment. She met the local execu- tive committee. attended the monthly meeting of the board of directors and had conference with the various com mittee workers. She gave O broad view of the work as conducted in other places and suggested many practical and possible improvements for the Bridgeport organization which if carried out will mean more ag- g"essive work, better results and a general awakening among all people in the behalf of young women. Mon day, March 9th, Dr. Richard L. Swain will organize a Bible class at the association. He will present the book of James dwelling upon James idea of Christian experience and Christian activity. This class is free and anyone may attend. Dr. Swain will meet the ladies, Monday, March 9th, at 4 o'clock in the association rooms. 10S7 Broad street.

WHY DEMOCRATS OPPOSE TT

Dem0cTa.tc members or congress have evinced more or less hostility to the bill creating . permanent tariff board from the date of its introduc- ton. and have given vent to their hostility in various way. The Far n1er has been inclined to disagree with them. though believing that the results from the proposed board must depend upon the character of it's membership. 1t could be so con- structed as promote the interests of tariff beneficiaries rather than those of the people. This is doubtless one of the reasons for disapproval of the bill Ey some of the Democratic mem- bers of Congress.
 They may also believe that the intent of the promoters of the bill is to cripple the incoming Democratic House. The fact that the measure did not put in an appearance during all the years of Republican control of Congress. but did appear promptly when Republican supremacy began to wane and was pushed strongly after the November elections. may be held to indicate a Republican intention to at least hamper the tariff work of the next Congress.
 There are occasional reports to the effect that the Ways and Means com mittee of the Democratic House will devote the summer-if there Is no extra session-to the preparation Of a full revision of the tariff. We most sincerely hope that these reports are unfounded. A complete revision would tend to disturb business. and would be a poor beginning for the Demo- cratic ca npaign of 1912. Much better would it be to single out the more obnoxious duties of the Aldrich tariff and to act upon them separately This would furnish an abundance of work for either special or the regu- lar session. would avert any general disturbance of business. and would meet the demands of public senti- ment.
