TROLLEY EXTENSIONS

Enorts are being made for tho ex- tension of the trolley system in Fol- land county wffeaSeby transportation facilities will be affnEded for the Con- necticut Asrfculturaa college and set- dement's between theec and Willf1kan- tic. Adfvccates are also busy in be- half of 6. propositiou to extsnd the line now running to Chester as far as Middletown.
 That these extensions are worthy and desirable cannot be questioned, Scr the facilities which are affordeA1 oy the trolleys are advantageous te every section and tend to a develop naent which is possible in no other way.
 But while these efforts are being made in behalf of better acocfnrnoda- tions elsewhere. what ia being done fer the long needed sHtension of the Nor wich lines to Maplewo0d cerr9etery and AGohegau park? There are two short
 extensions which have hesn patiently waited for by a community which is one of the greatest contributors to the electric system. the largest center in Eastern Connecticut and which is deserving of such accommodations. The belief that these extensions are owed to the people of Norwich is, jus tffiabfe. Even though it is possible that they might not be paying prop ositfons from the very start, there can be little question but what they are public necessities and arc destined te result in much profitable business.
 While the efforts arc being made te secure extensions involving much greater expenditure, the Shore Line system should not be allowed to over look the obligations which 1t has 1T Norwich.

TAXING THE AUTOS,

It is natural that there should be difficulty in determining the things to be taxed in securing the additional revenue required by the government, without giving the matter the proper consideration. and viewing the prob- lem from the different angles. Many suggestions have been made, and par tiaIly adopted, only to be discarded hecause of the serious objections which were advanced.
 In the ci..nges which have been made is the switching of the proposed tax upon gasolene as approved in the house bill, so that it will be levied upon motor vehicles. Such is done for the relief of many industries which would be affected by the other method but as the Boston Transcript point sut: The salesman, superintendent manager. farmer and professional man ..'e a.l large users of motor cars as Y: adjunct to business" and again they :sIanot be classed as luxuries any more than the horse for 'the great majority of the cars in the country arc not owned by the rich, but are of iie low priced variety within the reach If the business man of moderate means.

A GIGANTIC REFORM.

Many are the reforms which are needed in this country, but in tackling it's problem no greater courage is dis played than by the National Deser- ton bureau of New York, which de- clares it's purpose to be: To prevent wife and family assertions, and to take steps to reunite husbands with their wives and families, to study the social and economic causes and results of assertion and to ascertain the whereabouts of men who desert their families.
 Even though there is something of the detective agency stamp about this undertaking, it cannot help being se- riously realized that there is a great and growing need for the expenditure Of an untold amount of work upon just such tasks as this bureau ex- poets to engage. The plight of the deserted family, whichever one of the parents is to blame, is deserving of every effort which can be made both for prevention of such home smashing and for reunion. The undertaking, however, is colossal in it's possibilities and by no means confined to any par ticular section. The need for it and conception of the size of the job is enough to make the most enthusiastic stasger under the requirements.
 That there is demand for it is per- haps one of the best reasons for its existence. Its success depends upon the methods under which it's purpose is worked out. It means a long, hard pull with Encouragement inclined to overshadcw any encouraging features but it is aimed at one of the great national needs and it's endeavors should become excellent food for thodlght

PlAYcRoUNps WORK.

The matter of the physical training Of children through school and play ground work is one which has spread throughout the country because of the recognition of the valuable service which is rendered to every community as a result of it's operations. Nor wich has had opportunity for several years to witness the good influences of the playgrounds. It has awakened interest in all sections of the city be- cause of the manner in which it has served to meet a much felt need and it has impressed by the highly sat- isfactory results of what has long since passed the experimental stage.
 Thirty years ago playgrounds were almost unthought of, Today it has been proved that almost any city car quickly appreciate the valuable ser vices of such an institution. Regard ing such work Dr. Charles W. Eliot and Jane Addams have said: There are few opportunities for contributing moro effectively to the lessening o. juvenile disease and crime, producing social and industrial efficiency and in creasing the joy of life"
 It requires but little thought ant investigation to disclose the benefit of the proper amount of well directed outdoor exercise for children.

NO COTTON CROP.

In order to relieve the cotton situa- ton in the south. where the large pro- ducfng states find it impossible to market the crop. the conference of Southern Cotton Planters has voted to do no planting next year. Such is for the purpose of curtailing the supply and maintaining the market somewhere near its normal condition.
 As look ahead at the situation such may appear to be a solution which will meet the situation, accom- panied as it will be with the encour- agement for the planting of other crops instead of cotton. The suggestion is also made that state legislatures pass laws making it illegal to STOW cotton.
 What the result of such a stand will
 be remains to be determined. The
 length of the war is 8. factor and the
 attitude of the planters when it comes time to plant is another. Effort after effort has been made with a view to regulating the production of cotton. but never has it been possible to pre- vent cultivation. or restrict the amount of cotton raised. Invariably when suct has been attempted, it has been ar incentive for a. certain number to in. arease their acreage, instead of dim. | in isll.
 The suggestion that other crops De
 raised might sufiice to maintain those
 wla4, would have their cotton crop cut of. but the growing and handling oi otliax' crops requires some little ex.
 periance, while in many instances, and especially among the small producers the change would be accompanied by a risk which does not accompany thei1 present. agricultural efforts, The de cision that no crop is wise and the enforcement of such an idea are two dfrernt things
