 CicszynsI>i and w. w. Leland Per-
 manent Committee to Demand In-
 vestigation of Assessors Methods
 Taxpayers Invited to Attend.
 Another meeting of the New Brit ain Taxpayers association will be held Wednesday evening in Booth S hall, when further steps will be taken to contest the action of the local board of assessors ia boosting the rates of a number of local proprerty owners.
 In accordance with a vote of the association at the recent meeting, Chairman P. S. McMahon has ap- pointed the following committee h formulate plans for the permanent organization of the association: Tsa- dore SimOns, chairman: P. $. McMa- Mahon, J. A. Andrews, Anton CieS- 2ynsld and W. W. Leland. This com mittee will present a report at We'd nesGay nights meeting. All taxpayers of the city are accorded an invitation to attend this gathering.
 Will Push Matter to Limit.
 When asked today if the association intended to take steps toward an in Vestigation of the methods pursued by the board of assessors, one or the members of the association said that this would be done, and if necessary, it would ask for the removal of the board and possibly the mayor himself, if facts warrant such action. One of the states best Known lawyers is be- ing sought to take up the case of the association.
 The formation of the New Britain Taxpayers association is the result of a meeting held last Wednesday eve- ming by dissatisfied property owners who object strenuously to the recent increases placed on their holdings by the board of assessors. At this meet ing an overflow crowd was in at tendance, and some sharp criticism of the board was given.
 May Appeal to Courts.
 Should the present controversy reach greater proportions, there is ;l feeling on part of the members that the courts be appealed to, to bring about 8 satisfactory termination of the dispute.
 Main street property owners are the loudest in their demands that the slogan of the association "A Square Deal for All" be carried out. Ac- tording to the figures given at the meeting by these men, the raises have been very high during the past year, such men as P. s. McMahon. y. A. Andrews, w. w. Leland, M Fucker and others being among the top ones.
 The present situation is creating much attention among the property owners in general and many of those who did not attend the recent meet ing are said to be planning to attend the next meeting and to enroll in membership.

Hines Advocates Few Big Con- panioS Under Federal Supervision FAVORS FIVE YEAR CONTROL
Unless This is DoQe, Mir. Hines Thinks Roads Should Be Returned at Once to Private Ownership With out Waiting For Fl Month Period.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Director Gen. Walker D. Hines, testifying today before the senate interstate com merce committee for the first time since his appointment as railroad head declared he did not believe in gov ton of a few big railway companies, subject to close government super vision.
New Britain herald., 1919-02-03
CriticiZes Spirit Shown.

"A very strong feeling prevails that this question is being pushed now by the railroad executives because they feel that the going is particularly good and that they had better make e private management hay while the anti-government ownership sun con- tinues to shine. I do not believe a solution in this spirit is going to satisfy the public"
 So far as physical operations are concerned, said the director general there is now no emergency which calls on the government to continue control of the railroads. He explained that ths methods adopted by the railroad administration during the war now are open to reconsideration in the light of peace conditions, adding that this had been Mir McAdoo's at titude.
 Arguments For Extended Control. Mir. Hines presented the following S arguments for five year extension; l; Tt will give advocates of govern
 ment ownership full opportunity to press their views without being in f1uenced by the temporary reaction against government control
 Tt will remove the necessity for undue haste in solving such a big problem as the future of the rail- roads; it will stabilize employment and wage conditions; permit prosecution | of a big program of big improve ments and extensions help to take up l the slack in employment and materi- 1 als during the critical period of re- l adjustment.
 It will protect security holders 1 pending an ultimate solution. | 1t will minimize the danger of l making the railroad ouestion q nure- l " partisan issue, to be considered in
 an illogical manned In the presidential l elections"
New Britain herald., 1919-02-03
Opposes Government Control.

''I do not believe there is anything substantial in the argument that a five year extension of government operation would necessarily mean government ownership" Mir. Hines said. Il do not personally believe in government ownership. l believe there can be a form of radically recon structed private ownership with such close government supervision, includ- ing government representation on the board of directors, as will give the public and labor all the benefits of government ownership and the same time will preserve the benefits of private and self-intereSted initiative and will avoid the political difficult ties which perhaps are inseparable from government ownership.
 II believe that all the objects which I think must be achieved in order to obtain a permanent solution can be accomplished through crea- tiOn of a comparatively few railroad companies which will have capitalza- ton equal only to the real value of the property, and which will have a m tolerate guaranteed return with the right to participate moderately in any additional profits"
New Britain herald., 1919-02-03
Wants Five Year Program.

To permit development of com prehensive and permanent solution, Mir. Hines renewed Mr. McAdoo's recommendation for @ five year ex- tension of government control, and explained that if this were not done he believed it would be best for all interests concerned to relinquish gov ernment control without waiting for expiration of 21 month period pro- vided by existing law.
 Discussing the reasons for taking more time for considering legislation, he said:

Administration Stand on
World League Is Outlined

WASHINGTON, July a.
United Press.b-The keynote Of
the admlnistration's defense Of
the league Of nations, sound
ed today In the senate In u
speech by Senator Swanson, Vir-
ginia, Is:
The requirement for concur
renee Of the United States In ev-
cry decision Of the league coun-
ell amply guarantees this nation
against surrendering its sover-
eighty"
Swanson answered i'm detail every
each case he pointed to the provision
that each decision OF the council
must be by unanimous vote. includ-
Ing that OF the United states. After
the council has acted. congress still
has power to refuse American ac-
ceptance of the councils advice
Swanson declared.
He first answered the objection to
article s. on disarkament.
THE interest of the United States
is amply safeguarded under this ar
ticle." said Swanson. mo general
plan of disarmament can be present
ed without our consent: no obliga-
tions imposed on us without the ap-
proval Of congress, which Is intrust-
ed with raising armies and navies.
Such a plan win give us greater Sc.
curity than any policy of nationali-
zation surrounded by nations jealous
and apprehensive OF our power and
liable at any moment to combine for
our overthrow"
Article 10, the storm center OF the
covenant, is absolutely necessary to
world peace, Swanson declared, be-
cause 1t is a solemn pledge by all
league members to abstain from
wars Of conquest. 1t imposes upon
the United States no obligation
which this government is unwilling
to accept. he declared. because the
council simply advises, and its ad-
vice may be rejected by congress.
Important Guarantee
when, under this article, we guar.
antee the territorial integrity OF 9th
er nations, we receive from them a
like guarantee for ourselves" said
Swanson. This, he declared, is i'm
portant. in view of our possession Of
the Philippines and the Panama
canal, far from our shores and hard
to defend.
The Monroe doctrine, Swanson as
serted, is as expressly recognized
and reserved in the covenant as 1t
possibly could be.
III any contest should arise be-
tween the provisions of the covenant
and the Monroe doctrine" he assert.
