To Reset Plymouth Rock

Plans for resetting Plymouth Rock
and for improving the waterfront at
Plymouth has been approved by the
Federal Pilgrim Tercentenary Com
mission, which voted to release $780,
900, the Federal Government appro-
priation for the work proposed.
Under the plan, Plymouth Rock will
be set again in the water and will be
covered by a canopy of stone to be
erected by the Society of Colonial
Danes. improvements Of the shore
are being delayed by excessive de-
mands by owners of property involved,
according to the report of the local
committee.
The Federal Commission decided to
withhold the 100000 appropriated for
Provincetown until it presented a def
mite plan.
At the meeting Congressman Joseph
Walsh showed proofs of the Pilgrim
Tercentenary stamps to be issued by
the Post Office Department. They
will be of 1, 2 and 5 cent denomina-
lions.
The 1-cent stamp will be green, with
a picture of the Mayfower in the cen
tire. On one side will be the Haw-
thorn, the May flower of England, and
the other the arbutus, the May Flower
of New England. At the top will be
the words "Pilgrim Tercentenary."
The 2-cent stamp will be similar in
general design, with a picture of the
landing of the Pilgrims, and will be
red.
The Scent stamp will have as its
cetrepiece the Signing of the Compact
and will be blue.
The celebration is to begin on De-
cember 81 of this year with formal ex.
ercises at Plymouth, and it is planned
to have the day observed nationally as
Forefathers' Day.

When Edward /. Edwards became
Governor he appointed Democrats to
the County Boards of Equalization OF
Taxes which made all Boards have two
Democrats and one Republican. That
elected a Democratic clerk. To block
this the Republican Legislature last
winter passed a law making the Re-
publican clerks not removable. The
Boards have had two clerks for six
months pending a decision of the
Court which was made two weeks ago.
The Court decided the law was good,
but was not retroactive. The Repub-
lican clerks were elected annually by
the County Taxation Boards and the
tenure of office law took effect to hold
the newly Democratic clerks. Won
der if the next Legislature will repeal
it?

Lives, Moves, Has Teeth

Thoughtful Americans do not con-
ceal their modification and regret
that this nation is not represented at
Geneva. We belong there. We ought
to be in the League, ifonly to help per-
feet it and guide it's first steps. Now
that the prejudices and violences of
the election have subsidized, there is
generous and obvious feeling that the
United States is playing a shabby part
in standing aside, when nearly all the
others Powers + striving to shape
an instrument of peace and civiliza-
ton. They said that the League
would never come into being. But it
not only lives, it moves. The diff
culties raised by ten thousand Repub-
lican speeches of ten millions of words
are all solved by the Leagues walk
ing.-New York Times.

had been laid out and regular sched-
uIee established. Fourteen inspectors
were assigned to see that the jitneys
stuck to their routes, ran on schedule,
did not cut back before reaching the
end of their routes, and did not e
charge. In fact the first day of jit-
new monopoly say the people of
Bridgeport getting a good transporta-
ton service.
1t is true there was o~vercrowdlng,
but passengers were patient, eager to
cooperate, and willing to make allow
ances. Very few complaints were re-
ceived and it is unquestionably a fact
that passengers were transported to
their work with greater speed and a
saving of time. The law which limit
ed iitneys to two standing passengers
was smashed to pieces during the rush
hours, but everyone was happy and
the experiment had been launched
most auspiciously.

When the internal revenue tax from
alcoholic liquors was abolished many
wondered where the revenue would
come from. In eleven months the tax
on soft drinks was 81 million dollars,
indicating that manufacturers of soft
drinks do a business of 500 millions a
year.

Cars To Run Again

The Council met on September 7
and passed an ordinance restricting
the operation of jitneys to certain
streets not in direct competitor with
the trolley lines, and the next day
were notified by The Connecticut Com
pany that service would be resumed
on September 20, the date the ordi-
nance was to become effective.
With the return of the trolleys to
the streets of Bridgeport on Septem-
Der 20 ended an experiment unique in
the history of American cities. The
jitney had been given every oppor-
tunity to make good, and had failed.
Bridgeport, however, has profited by
the experience. 1t has learned several
truths it did not know before. AS a
result of it's eight weeks without troll
leys it established the fact that the
two systems of transportation cannot
exist in direct competition; that the
jitney bus, even under the most favor
able circumstances, cannot furnish an
adequate and complete system of
transportation to a city of any size,
and that, for the present at least, the
trolley is not going to be replaced by
the jitney.
