FREEMANS LOCATE IN
 DELIGHTFUL COUNTRY

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Please send me your weekly edition for six months and send me bill. The climate is fine here at Sierra Madre. This is one of the four healthiest To- cations in the United States. It is in the edge of the mountains and just an hours ride from Los Angeles by street car. By the way, I saw Mr. Schwarz in Los Angles yester- day.
 We have six-room cabin on the side of the mountains, overlooking all this Los Angeles valley and at night we can see below us the lights of nearly a dozen small towns besides Pasadena. There has been only one rain since we have been here.

--------- w. J. SNOW FOR ASSESSOR.

The Log Cabin Democrat has been authorized by W. J. Snow to make formal announcement of his candidacy for tax assessor, subject to the Demo- cratic primary election. In making this announcement Mir. Snow re- quested that it be stated that his time would be entirely taken up with his crop until July, after which he would make a vigorous personal campaign and would set forth in public speeches and otherwise the policies he expected to follow if elected. It may be said. however, that it will be his ambition to make an adequate and equal as- sessment of the property of the coun- ty, Mir. Snow made a race for the assessors office several years ago and ran a close second in field of seven or eight candidates. He feels better qualified now than he was then for this important position and has re- celved much encouragement from friends throughout the county since 1t became known that he was consid- ering entering the race.

 National Land Purchase--A sugges- tion is being put forward In the American Press that Great Britain should sell some of her West Indian or South American territory In order to pay her debts to the United States. It would not be the first transaction of the kind into which the republic has entered. For years ago she acquired three islands in the virgin group of the Lesser Antilles, belonging to Dem mark, for 25 million dollars. The is-

THE NORWICH WESTERLY
 ROAD,

Those who will go to the meeting called for today in town hall to dis cuss the possibility of retaining the Norwich and Westerly trolley line will expect to be enlightened as to| the prevailing conditions, the outlook and what will be required to retain the services of that line.
 It is meeting that should be largely attended. It is a time when ideas should be freely exchanged as to the roads future. It Is a time to take into con onsideration both the ex- isting situation and the equally perti- nent fact AS to what it would cost to replace such a line at some future tine.
 The situation here is apparently much the same as it is on the Hart ford and Springfield line. Both are in the hands of receivers and in neither case is the return sufficient 10 warrant continued service under present conditions. In the case of the line running between Hartford and Springfield on which three and half million passengers were carried last year the receiver has asked for and heen Iranteu lne authority to DElnS about a readjustment of fares so that lhere will be ten cent zones and the new rate will be 40 cents for 13 miles pr se cents for the ride between the cities.
 This rate isn't being applied for the purpose of boosting the profits. It is a case where it is necessary in order to have the service continued. In other words 1t is necessary to pay for the service provided. That has got to be taken into consideration with lny trolley line today. There are 2t cities in Massachusetts where ter 6ent fares are paid and more than twice that number in the country.
 In view of the predicament of the much more patronized Hartford ant Springfield line it cannot be surpris Ing that the Norwich and Westerl, Is facing similar trouble. The ques ton is will not readjustment of rates curtailed schedule or possibly one man cars serve to preserve this eros country service.

WATER POWER.

When the statement is made that France is turning to the matter of water power development it can be appreciated that 1t not only has good reason for such action but that 1t would have avoided much serious em- barTassment had it been done years age. Ordinarily France does not have to worry about coal, but the war has placed in 1t a tight corner for fuel and it will be a long time before it will return to normal conditions. Tn the meantime the water is flowing to waste just as it has done for centur- les and centuries.
 To judge from reports. France has somewhere between five and ten mil lion horse power available from it's streams if properly harnessed. Thus far 1t Is getting only 800, 900 horse power from hydro electric plants and naturally the wonder is that France hae not turned to such development before this.
 But we should remember that France is lagging no more conspicu- ousiy than we are. This country has awakened to its possibilities in the construction of power plants in many sections of the country, and 1t is Hteadfiy adding thereto but where
Norwich bulletin., 1920-03-23

France has from five to ten million horsepower obtainable, sight should not be lost of the fact that it is esti mated that there are 5o,o0o,0oo horse power in this country running to waste every day. And it is perfectly evident that we, as well as France, are feeling the effects of coal short age, coal distribution and trouble in the coal fields.
 Most timely is the action of France in turning to its undeveloped water power, but while we are watchins and applauding France there remains plenty to be done right here at home n the very same direction. We shall never see the time when the wastage of water power is completely check ed but prevailing conditions urge the utilization of such cheap power to a much greater extent than is now be- ing done.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Save tha Trollexs

MT. Editor: At the meeting to be held in the town hall this Tuesday afternoon the people are promised to be enlightened on the trolley situa- tion.
 No doubt a representative of the Shore Line will claim that the Nor wich and Westerly line does not pay, never did pay and never will pay. Now the people will want to weigh this carefully.
 At the present time labor Is high, material is high everything seems ab- normal. Many engaged in business are just floating, but all hope with the peace treaty signed, things will turn and gradually become normal again.
 There is a reason for all things and the gentleman who wrote the letter published in The Bulletin Friday I think must be a business man, for management is the first place to look for the trouble.
 Now the Norwich and Westerly is fine road running through pros porous towns and to the beaches and it is true that the management has made many costly mistakes. The rails are heavy, the first cars were l too heavy changes of switches, con- crete bridges, etc, are costly. These are past expenses ana IL would seem | that with watchful care and economy | this road would now pay and certainly in the future show profit. | We need our trollAvs and more | trolleys and the abandonment of this | line would be a great loss to busi- ness, the farmers along, the line and the people using it for transportation or to visit the beaches. It would see1l 1 to any one observing the full car: leaving Franklin square week day!
 and crowded cars Sundays and holi days that this line could be managed to pay.
 z After all is said and done it is u to the management. Let us hope tha
 a way may be found to save ou
 trolleys.

THE MICHIGAN GASES.

The end of the Newberry case in Michigan has not been reached. The trial just ended has been a long one, the accused has been convicted and he has been given the maximum sen tence. That the case will be appealed and be carried through to the high est court if necessary is to be expect ed.
 This case was brought under the corrupt practices act but it involved the expenditure of sums of money in excess of what tho law permits to be used, a fact which the jury found that the accused and his assistants knew and a fact which they disre- garded. Without attempting te iusti- fly any disregard for law it is to he noted in this instance that the claim is made by the defendants that what ever violation of the law there was was purely technical. that such mon ey as was raised and spent was used for legitimate purposes, that it was used for campaign expenses, which includes publicity, newspaper Ant other advertising and transportation An extensive campaign along thi. line was carried on for the purpose of safeguarding the nation agains the possibility of having a pacifis elected to the senate of the nation a one of it's most critical periods.
