\ :LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

In view of the numerous recent maneuvers in the latest peace offen- sive of the central powers, it is not surprising to read today a speech by Leader Erzberger in the Reichstag outlining the plans which he and a few other Teuton worthies have laid for an enduring peace when hostili- ties have ceased. We can just imag- inc the warm" reception his pro- posals will meet with in the Ameri- can press. We can also imagine the mad race in which all the Allied pa tions will join in their attempt to be the first to cooperate with Herr Erzberger.
 Erzberger's idea, as stated else- where, is to form a League of Na- tions. which will be governed by the countries which today are the lead ing belligerents. It's principal aim is to be worthy endeayor to protect

 We all know that paper is scarce. Everybody in the news paper business has been told he must economi8e and cut down. But the signs of similar reduc- tions at Washington do not yet appear.
 On the contrary, day after day we get now reminders of the way in which waste baskets are being loaded down with postage free paper. One at least of the em- ployees of this paper has re- ceived Washington letter from the National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, which opens with the cheerful promise that it is "the forerunner of a series of letters to be sent every little while" by this committee. This kindly contribution for the en- lightenment of the average ctti- zen is going to tell how the vast sums of money appropriated for IIIG pI OSGCuIlOII OI JIl0 war are being spent by the government" / It would be well to include the amount of paper used.
 The next, which will "immedi- ately follOw', will tell the cost of turning a citizen into a soldier, of the draft, the soldiers life and training, the cantonments, his life overseas and the building of ships that took him there, the engineering projects in France to make ready for the soldiers coming, our aircraft production, the wonderful Liberty motor and kindred subjects" of which ap- parently nobody has hitherto known anything. Nobody reads newspapers these days.
 What there will be to tell aft CT this narrow field has been

 Despite the fact that it deplores the alleged waste of paper by a na. tional organization which is trying its best to help make the Fourth Liberty Loan a grand success the Hartford Courant saw fit, a few weeks ago, tc increase the consumption of paper by a magazine supplement tt the readers of it's Sunday edition.

ports to raise revenue for the war. The revenue under this paragraph to be raised during the war will not be appreciable.
 The State of Connecticut, through its manufacturers, has no complaint to make against equitable taxation. With her sister States, she has borne ungrudgingly her share in the rais- ing of revenue for war purposes. The figures in the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue show this. In 1915 the total internal revenue re- Ceipts from the State were $3,222,- 249.67. In 1916 the total receipts were $5,295, 874.32. On April 6, 1917, the Government formally declared to exist the state of war thrust upon it by the Imperial German Government From April 1, 1917, to June 30, 1918, there was collected in Connecticut under internal revenue laws the sum of $S4, ,522, ,102.74. Of this amount $15, 1926, ,778.98 represented, the total ordinary and war revenue receipts. except income and excess profits tax, or more than three times the receipts for 1916. and the remainder, or $68,- 595, 323.76, represented income and excess profits tax receipts. Tn short,
 
 nal-revenue taxes from April, 1917, to June, 1918, more than fifteen times it's total payments in 1916.
 Her record is her reason for insist ing on equity in the pending bill.
 The industries of the State have been brought to their present high development through the genius of their founders and the energy and ggressiVeness of their subsequent managers.
 Whether one considers the ma- chine shops of Hartford, New Haven, New Britain, Waterbury, and Bridge port, employing thousands of skilled Workmen; the intuition plants of Hartford, New Haven, Meriden, and Bridgeport; the brass rolling mills of Bristol Waterbury, Torrington, An sonia and throughout the Naugatuck Valley; the mills of the eastern sec ton of the State; the foundries in all it's large cities, and the large estab- lishments for producing products for domestic use throughout the whole State, one is impressed by the spirit of the men responsible for such suc- cess. Far removed from the sources of supply for their raw material; dis tant from the coal fields, without which power is impossible; handi- capped by inadequate transportation and forced to compete with industries more happily favored by nature, Connecticut plants, thanks to the ability, integrity, and courage of both owners and operators not only estab- lished themselves high In our nation al life, but occupied such a position at the outbreak of the war that the State at once became the arsenal of the land. Those already making munitions of war readily expanded; those occupied in domestic trade took steps at once, wherever possi- ble, to transform all work to essen- tia1 war work.
 Connecticut is often called the land of steady habits. Not the least of these is it's habit of success.

THE FREE WOMAN.

Women who dp not love are free All day their Thoughts go carelessly; I know they do not fear at all When the nights come and the snows
 fall. But those who love-their thoughts
 must trace All day the Well-belOved face, And they are fearful and grow chill At the snows fall and the nights ill And they would fire their hearts to
 burn Like a bright light at the roads
 turn, And fay their souls to keep him Tn the cold night and the white
 storm. Surely I may be glad that I Softly night of storms may lie, For 1 have watched a woman's face A black night at a windows space. Surely I should be happier Nor envy-enVy-en her; But I have heard the word she
 spoke In her mans arms as the dawn
 broke. Garrison in Everybody's

Perhaps the best index Of the cost
of production is the price actually re-
ceived by the producer for any inn

of the cost of cotton production For
the ten years from 1907 to 1916, in
elusive, the average price OF cotton
to the producer was lis cents,
Many estimate that present costs
are at least 1-2 times that of the de-
cade before we entered the war
Others believe that the cost of pro

for that decade. For the same ten

was fixed at 1920 this was 2.2S6 times

THEY'LL BE DISAPPOINTED

Those in the legislature who are
struggling to get larger state appro.
priation for common schools are going
to be woefully disappointed in results il
they are really sincere in their belief
that mora state funds will have to do
with the making of better schools in
any marked degree 1t will have some
Il ing to do with increased pay for the
teachers and this respect it may be
measured fer ;,ood, but il is not going
to mean letter schools so one can
eli it.
1t takes ioca; macs and local
fund to do the work j; takes local
payment eaddled CT Il G shoulders OF
messy old dad who when he spends
something for the school will take a
little more interest because he wants
to know whether he is going to get
the worth of his money 1t takes To-
cal interest for school to succeed.
1t requires that the community to
ever find out the accomplishments Of
the teachers used and it takes that for
the patrons to ever get their first
lessons in efficiency. Local tax for
the school is one Of the most natural
instruments for the securing of qua
lifted teacher.
1t would take ten millions a year
for state to father state
wide school system worthwhile. Norh
schools like those which are half paid
by state funds and half paid by local
taxation. Then those of the school pat
rons who sit down and let things jog
along would keep up their old way
Of running the schools. 1t is easy to
spend money, especially public money
Georgia common school education
will not reach any sort of progress
under the plan as promulgated in the
great tax increases.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

1t has also been stated that the
price of wool has been fixed at approx
imately IL times the price for the
same ten-year period preceding.
If the same increase price is to be
put on cotton as was put on wheat we
have 11.Sx2.2 86-2697, or approximate
" 27 cents as fair price for middling
cotton. If the increase is to be that
given to wool then we have 11.8x2.5--
29.5 sents pound as the price of cot

Inview of the conditions that may
arise the producers of cotton should
be giving this subject serious consid-

emergency she must be prepared to
present and assert her right to fair
price should the necessity for stabil-

Gober is persona non graf on the board
President Parks has to hold his place
