The Republican journal., 1917-09-20

Without the slightest desire to revive
sectional issues or to be unpleasant in
any way, we call attention to the fact
that the South has been doing practically
all of the legislating for the last four
years, but the North, and especially the
Eastern Republican States, have been
paying most of the taxes, raising most of
the money for conducting the govern
ment and most of the men for the army
and navy thus far. We should like to
see our Southern friends show more pa
triotism by their acts and less by their
voices. On them lies the responsibility
for the conduct of public affairs. They
might do at least their proportionate
share of the Philadelphia In
quirer.

Political Clippings.
McAdoo's Methods.

Mr.. McAdoo is, not unjustly, we think,
suspected of being favorable to dog
matte theory of war finance and less
cautious of the danger of sudden excess
sive taxation than is compatible with a
wise practice in war finance.
Neither the senate nor the house COM
mittee in handling the measure now in
preparation has shown as firmly conserv-
alive an attitude as could be wished. If
SIS, 900, 10000 more is to be provided for
at once, we pray that for the sake of our
country and our cause a greater degree
of caution be shown. We do not care to
have the business prosperity of the coun-
try crucitied on some generalization of
Mr.. McAdoo's or his advisers The sound
business and experienced financial judy
ment of the country should control the
formulation of war finance. The coun-
try has no desire to follow the astonish-
ing Mr.. Kitchen and accept the heaviest
tax measure in our history with eyes
shut. "-Chicago Tribune.

 COMMITTEE

l.. each building to guarantee play grounds. All the play about these buildings is to be under supervision of a playground instructor and all children of the neighborhood permit ted there as well as the pupils of the particular school where the play ground is located. It is proposed that the cellars be used for this pur- pose in indictment weather and the toilets there be accessible at all times.
 It is proposed that the assembly halls in the schools be used for su- pervfsed dance halls, for community meetings, political gatherings and other suitable assemblages of growi> people. These buildings, owned by the public are to be for their use at any time.
 The commission may recommend changing the hours of study and do- ing away with the long vacation in the summer time as is the custom in Newark. Instead of closing the schools during the months when the weather is best, it may propose to keep them open in June and August, arranging longer recess periods dur ing the months when the weather is fairest.
 The recreation commission was named by resolution of the common council adopted June 19, 1916, on recommendation of Mayor Wilson. It's duties are to investigate the needs of the city relative to wholesome public recreation and to report to the com mon council.
 The commission believes that the time is ripe now for the appointment of the permanent commission hence it's report will shortly go to the coun- cil.

Chief Pleasure In
 Life Is Giving Aid


 His chief pleasure in life is help ing people, said Wilber Brooks Smith, the Park place society man, when he testified before Judge Ben nett and a jury in the superior court this afternoon in the $3,500 suit brought by Leonard Bol, former su- perintendent of the Smith model dairy farm in Sport hill. Smith de- nied he owed Bol for one years ser vices and for money spent in making farm improvements.
 Smith declared Bol got the position by answering an advertisement. The applicant said he had $1,500 in cash so Smith told him to go ahead and run the farm. The owner said he didn't want to be bothered with the details. If Bol thought he could make the farm pay, Smith was wiE- ing to help him in his usual phil anthropic way. The hearing proba- bly will be finished tomorrow.

UNIONS TO BACK LAW GOVERNING
 THREE EEE-DECKERS E
Will Oppose Any Attempt to Rescind Ordinance at
 Council Meeting.

Delegations of the Bricklayers' & Plasterers' union of the city will ap- pear before the common council com mittee on ordinances at the public hearing in common council chamber tomorrow evening to oppose the pro- posed amendment to the building code which will permit the erection of wooden three-decker houses. A number of property owners and build CTS will appear in favor of it. An effort was being made today to get delegations of the carpenters union and other wood workers to appear in favor of the amendment. The men fin favor of the amendment claim that the 'three-decker' houses built under proper restrictions provide moderate-priced rents for working people and that they are as safe from fires as the two family wooden houses The proposed amendment reads as follows:
 Whereas, The cost of construction of buildings in the city of Bridgeport under the present conditions has now reached the point where it is almost impossible to erect two-family house and charge rent for the same that will be within the income of working men; and,
 teWhereas,, The cost of brick is so great that it is impracticable to erect three-family houses under the ordi- nance now existing, the rent to be charged for these three family houses based upon the cost of construction being entirely out of reach of those who desire to live in said three-family houses;
 Therefore, Be it resolved, that the ordinance, requiring three-family of Bridgeport to be constructed of brick shall be repealed and that an ordinance shall be adopted permitting the erection of three-family houses of wooden construction under reasona- ble restrictions"
 The signers of the amendment are: Alderman, Thomas J. Tierney. Alfred Doyle, A. R. Reichell John J. Heavey, Patrick J. Suptle, Mike Sum- din, John J, Eckel, James J. Lynch, William Keough, John w. Rourke, Harold Doyle, Paul J. Anderson, John J. McGinniss, James l.. Kerwin, Thomas J. Cunningham, Angelo Ma rome. August Gravesen, Benamin R. Thorp, John J.

Farmers Dairy Go.
 Gets Property Here

The Farmers Dairy Go. has obtained an option on the property of Joseph Doherty & Co.,, in North street, lot of land 125 by $50 feet including a two- story cement building 100x36 feet. It is reported that negotiations are now in Irogress for the purchase of the property and if price can be agreed upon, it probably will be bought this week according to H. c. Coburn, pres ident of the company.
 The structure, it is stated, is con- sidered an ideal type for a depot and pasteurization plant, situated close to the railroad tracks and is equipped with electric power, which would make 1t possible for the company to have its plant in full operation by the middle of May, ready to supply this city which consumes between 5O,000 and 60.000 quarts of milk day.
