COMMUNICATED
\ Starting Place.

Dear Sir:-After reading the MaN- or's proclamation rcgs rding thrift week. l have been wondering whether our local government is exempt from this order, think it should be the first 10 show us T, good CNamrlc But from the lavish manner in Wui' h il is handing out our money. it would seem that the sky was the limit and 1t Is 3buut time the officials took a
 tumble. As the city is facing a big deficit this year through the loss of the saloon license. and this burden must fall on the taxpayers, l would suggest a plan that would help to pay off d little of the debt. The women of today are taking q. prominent part in politics and other matters that at one time were left 10 the mon. Women were to great extent the means of having this unjust law of prohibition passed. Therefore they should be made to pay their share towards the loss sustained by the city. Women are earning big money. many of them are getting more than men. and I do not see why they should not be compelled to pay the same personal tax as the men. But in the case of those women Who belong to any society that was really prime mover in the said pro- hibition, on these should Lc levied d special tax of s25 q year or more. ac- cordlnG to their income or station in life. This tac- should also apply to the, | male pusSyfoots. By these means we would Dc able to keep down the taxes, Which In the near future threaten to swamp the working class taxpayers.

BANK TESTIMONIAL
 TO WILLIAM H. HART
Directors Adopt Resolutions on
 Death of Prominent Citizen

The following resolutions wer dopted by the board of directors o he Savings Bank of New Britain. a Is regular meeting:
 At his home on Lexington street, December 15, at the age ot S5, was terminated the long and active life of William H. Hart, d director Of this bank since January, 1905.
 The span of MT. Hart's life covered the whole period of the \ devclopm ment of this community from a district of a few farms to great manufa curing center, and in the accomplishment of this wonderful development his strong personality was a most important factor. By his cour- age, his perseverance, his energy, his foresight and his ability, one of the largest and most widely known corporations was firmly csta blished, and to his devotion and direction large measure of it's subsequent growth and pros perity must be ascribed. This may be said 10 have been pecu- liarIy his life work; nevertheless, the interests of the community at largo were ever close to his heart, and the affairs of govern ment, national or state or local; the church, the '. M. C. A, the Institute. the Hospital and the social 1ife of the community-in fact, everything that aided the nf hi fo1I enlisted his active interest, his energetic support and his. aggres- siye leadership.
 l t is. however. of his services to this bank that his associates on this board would especially refer. As a director for 5 years his good judgment and wise counsel have been of great value in conducting it's affairs. Regu- lar in his attendance upon the meetings of this board until inn paired health and absence from town prevented, he rendered that same faithful, conscientious serv- ice that was his habit in all posi- tions of trust. We mourn his loss, but we shall ever cherish as a pleasant memory his strong chara cter, his large ability. his uniform geniality, his keen sense of humor and his absolute fidelity.
 To his family-his wife, his sons and his daughter-for whom he showed unusual interest and devotion and whose frequent gatherings were his greatest pleasure and pride, we extend our Sincerest Sympa thy.
 R ESQLVED: That, this m in Ute he spread upon the records oi this board and copy sent to his family

PERSHING'S FRIENDS
 WELCOME WOOD MOVE
Hackers of Commander m Chief in Nebraska Accept Challenge
 for Contest.

Lincoln. Neb., Jan. 15.-The ga unt- jet thrown down by the Nebraska managers of the campaign of General Leonard Wood in the preparing of a complete list of delegates for the Re- publican National convention was promptly taken up by Mark w. Woods, executive chairman of the -'Pershiug for President movement, in a state ment issued here yesterday.
 ''On behalf of the friends of Gen cral Pershing, I am happy to say that the challenge is accepted with en- thusiasm.'' MT. Woods said in his statement. Under the usual ameni- ties of politics. it has been customary for candidates from other states a concede to a. resident candidate his homo state. General Woods suppor- ters have not seen fit to observe this courtesy in Nebraska, and we are glad Of 1t.
 The Eastern newspapers and po- litical writers have taken the feelings in this state to mean that General Wood challenges Pershins to a. con- test of delegates in his home state, and they consider the primary battle in Nebraska one of the most important in the entire country. On behalf of those who believe General Pershine to represent in his person and in his career the exact qualities necessary in the man who is to control the des- tinies of this nation in the four years following March 1, 1921, We accept the challenge.
 Il can say without reservation that General Pershing is gaining tremen- dous strength in all parts of the coun- try. The people are realizing the of ach n a ornad in the organization work and the marvellous manner in which he handled the problems relative to Ann erican foreign policy He is recog- nized over the entire world. not only as a soldier, but a statesman, diplo- mat and business executive of the highest order"

DEStIIlNEL NS. CLFNENCEAU.

The. American people can not help but take Il keen interest in the life and fortune of Premier Clemcnccau Of France. whose career during the past few ycars of war has been suri, that would appeal to the tcmpera a'ncnt of the new world in the highest dc gree. He is more prominent in the hearts of all of us than Joffrc or Fochc. despite that he was not a mil itary leader. Announcement from Paris that he is to be opposed in the coming election by Paul Dcschanel, so- cialist president of the Chamber of Dcputies The latter is undoubtedly extremely popular, he was chosen to the presidency Of the legislative body by unanimous vote. It was this that caused his friends to suddenly de mand his running for Premier. The merits and dcmcritS of the two candidates are not known to us. it is possible that Dcschancl might nuke better leader than Clcmenceau, but. should the election be held in the
  would be the Tiger who was elected. His decidedly positive character, his vitality, and his brusqueness and au thority appeal to us more than can be described. Though about eighty years of age he lasted through the terrible ordeal of the Peace Confer ence in admirable style. Our own President was ill after the strain was relaxed other leaders were forced to take occasional vacations to conserve their strength, but the Premier of Franco remained on his job without complaint He was wounded by a Would-be assassin in manner that might easily have caused the death of any man J1is age who was not in good physical condition. but he was taken from his work but seventeen days. Aggressive and powerful he was always in the fore in important political developments in connection with France or with international af- fairs.
 Hero worship is an attribute of most of us, whether We admit il or not. Clemenceau is truly hero and l one worthy of worship. We do not 1 know his opponent but wish the Pre- mier the best of luck in carryiu $ 1 on his election.

 weekly and the city is charged for

 bills Mayor Quiglc!. a few months ago. placed the reSponsibilitN fur
 ma kiii;: the invest cations and carry
 ing on the work upon the shoulders,
 of the Charity board which rcmon
 strated against the extra duty. but
 was forced to accept it. The first feN
 months knowledge of tho bill was not
 widely spread and the board found
 that it's investigator could determine
 the financial status and the justice ol
 the claims ot those who applied 10"

 protest to tho Common tounclt
 against carrying oil the work. ThCr@
 WAS an expenditure of about fifty dol .
 lars tho city's sharc of the sum given
 away, for which no appropriation had
 been made by the Council and which
 caHc out of the funds Of the Charit.
 Board. This month, however, the
 work assumed moro serious propor~
 tions, there being an increase of over
 four hundred per cent. in the mum Der of applicants and an expense of near ly four hundred and fifty dollars to
 the city. There is no way of Judging
 how fast these applications are goin>s
 to como in hereafter or how much
 our share of the pensions will be, but
 it is certain that the job is going to be too big for the Cha rity Board to handle and the amount too large 70 take from the usual appropriations of the board.
 The board will petition the Council to take one of two courses of action. One of them will be the removal from the board entirely of the responsibil- ! ity of handling the funds and making the inspections. The commissioners are unwilling 10 add to the expenses of the city any more than may be helped and they are, therefore, con- sidering the possibility of asking the 1 Council for another investigator and a clerk to handle the accounts of the widows. with a special appropriation from the city to cover the actual financial needs of the pensions whic Il will save the appointment of a special boa rd Unless it is found that there is another department in the city which can undertake the work. the Cha rity Departments efficiency will be greatly crippled by being forced to undertake the distribution of the fund and the monthly inspections of each petitioner, providing that it's staff and appropriations are unchanged. How ever. it is not wished to force tho city to cYtahls an entirely new de- partment with great expense. Where 1 fore the Charity Board will undertake the work with the reservations" tha 1 it be given an investigator and extra appropriation.
