Connecticut's Auto Fee

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the appearance in your
issue Of June Of my communication
regarding the proposed immoderate IN
crease in Connecticut motor car regis
tration fees have been in correspond
ence with the Motor Vehicle Confer
ence Committee and with other intel
ligent and interested persons. I have
received various illuminating CON-
ments.
1t appears that of the forty-one
state legislatures which have thus far
convened this year in regular session
the Connecticut General Assembly is
unique in computing the motor car
registration fee on the basis Of cubic
inches of piston displacement. This
looks rather like presumptive evidence
that the Assembly was seeking not
square deal but an ingenious and spe-
cious new method for laying maxi
mum tax.
One gentleman, who was in direct
touch with legislative developments.
says: "The late session of the General
Assembly endeavored to raise money
by every conceivable method, but the
easiest way seemed to be to get it
from the motoring public. 1t was thus
much more simple to collect, as every
motor vehicle owner has to register
his car before he can run it; there
fore, there is no way of escape. Be-
fore another session of the Legislature
it will be necessary for the automobli-
lists Of the state to organize so that
they can bring pressure to bear upon
the Representatives to give the motor
lists square deal, and not make them
pay an amount out of all proportion
to other classes of taxpayers"
Present financial and business con-
ditions are such as TO have prevented
many influential men from devoting
time and attention to opposing this in
crease. The bill has passed both
houses and at this writing is before
the Governor, 10 whom are being sent
kilograms and letters requesting his
veto. GEORGE S. BRYAN.

Negativing Invasion

Says the special correspondent Of
The Tribune who has been present
at the target practice off the Vir-
ginia Capes:
The experiments thus far have
convinced both the Navy and Army
observers that unrestricted subma-
rine warfare can never again be
maintained with any degree of sue
cess and that In the future no nation
can wage an offensive war across the
water. The three-plane attack which
the navies Of the world now possess
has practically eliminated the ques-
tion of transports. No convoy, high
officers of both services declare, can
be protected against an aerial attack
such as was staged against the Ger
man submarine In Tuesdays test.
Troopships of the future will be
easy prey to the deadly accuracy of
aerial bombers, and the consensus Of
opinion of observers on the Hender-
son Is that any nation, no matter
how spall, can ssuccessfully resist in
vasion from the sea if it's aircraft
are concentrated on the coast and
capable of operating with the accu-
racy and precision displayed in the
two days tests just closed.
These conclusions may seem to
some too sweeping. But it will be
agreed that the rapid way air
bonbers and destroyers sent former
German submarines to the bottom is
of great significance. 1t is true
that the arranged conditions favored
the attack, for the targets were an
chored and the range was known.
But even with a moving objective,
especially as large as a transport,
it seems probable that the torpedoes
from the air would hit.
But maybe there is an answer to the
airplane bomber. Heretofore inven-
tive genius has tended to resstablish
a disturbed equilibrium. It will be
recalled when the submarine first ap-
peared it was loudly said: Behold
the negation of sea power!" The
world was told that no nation, no
matter how powerful it's fleet, could
defend it's commerce. And now, as
in the foregoing, the airplane is held
to have put the submarine out ex-
cept for limited use. SO it is not
entirely safe to be dogmatic about
the impossibility of preventing air
forces arriving above transports.
But whatever the future, it is
manifest that no nation can afford
to minimize the air service. Concen-
tration on battlsships seems not only
expensive but dangerous.

Siiesian Misrepresentation

The situation in Upper silesia,
now happily quoting down, has been
persistently misrepresented in this
country by means of artful anti
Polish propaganda. The govern
ment of Poland has been pictured
as instigating and maintaining the
Korfanty uprising. The truth is
that the attitude of the authorities
in Warsaw has been correct from
the Acknowledgements correct, in fact,
than the attitude of the German
authorities.
DR.. John H. Finley, writing TO
The New York Times from War
saw under date of May IL, said:

Senate over the naval bill could have
been easily avoided by good manage
ment and sound judgment in the begin
ming.
The preceding administration Of the
Navy Department was initially to
blame. 1t resurrected program five
years old, Historically declared that
we must have the biggest navy in the
world and wildly demanded an appro-
priation of s6oQooo,ooo for that pur-
pose. All this was stupid.
The House rebelled against this tre-
mendous outlay and cut the appropria-
ton to s4oO,oo0,oO0. In doing so it
provided for one-plane navy-no SUBJ
marine nor air forces worth mention
ing-and 1t reduced the personnel to
100000 men, which will not suffice to
man the ships of the 1916 program,
The Senate, while clinging tenaciously
to the 1916 program, sought to supply
an air force, advocated a few subma-
rines and provided for personnel of
100000 men. These amendments raised
the appropriation to $50O,o00,0Oo.
Demand for Economy
In the mean time wave of economy,
q demand for limitation of ornaments
and strong influence from the people
upon Congress for reduction of taxa
ton moved the House conferees to re-
ject the Senate amendment. A dead
lock resulted. The navy is confronted
with the danger of half-manned, one
plane feet with neither submarines nor
air forces! Without these modern ele-
ments our surface fleet cannot leave
the home coast. We have navy whose
wings are clipped. 1t cannot take the
offensive in war.
| Now let US consider what could have
been and should have been done to
avoid this naval muddle. Following the
armistice all useless ships should have
been scrapped. This was not done. The
utmost economy should have been de-
manded. This was not done, and an
era of wild wastefulness was perpetu-
ated.
The 1916 program should have been
carefully scanned, construction should
have been suspended for the time be-
ing and an up-to-date 1918-'21 pro-
gram should have been formulated
This was not done.
The lessons of the World War should
have been carefully considered. Modern
weapons-submarine and air forces
should have been provided. This was
not done.
HosU Daniels Blundered
The amount of money which the
people would probably agree to give te
the navy should have been decided upor
after careful discussion of existing
economic conditions, and this amount
should have been equitably and sen
sibly divided among Sattleships, sub
marines, surface vessels, air forces
personnel and maintenance, In order "a

None OF these things was done.

stead of three, with it's brain failing

The Naual Deadlock
Badly Bungcd OnePane Plan in ThreePane Naval Era
BY Quarterback

had approved or failed to modernize
and revamp mistaken program were
still in office.
They led the Secretary Of the Navy
and the committees of Congress into
a fight to force through an expensive,
out-of-date plan. Not one officer who
was familiar with submarines, or who
had served with them at sea, was per-
mitted or invited to testify as to the
vital Importance of submarines.
The Truth Suppressed
The truth as to our submarine force,
its pitiful weakness, was not made
known to the House committee, and
testimony on this subject before the
Senate committee was not welcomed.
Not one officer who had ever had
personal experience as a flyer in the
naval air fierce testified before either
committee. The result was inevitable.
The minimum Of attention was given to
submarine and air forces in the naval
bill until the Senate, aroused too late,
made partial appropriations which the
House now threatens to cut out.
Thus naval program born of neg
lect, and "vacuity of intellect" under
an administration which never failed
to muddle and demoralize the navy
upon all occasions, was nurtured by
conservative hold-over forces and
foisted upon the present Administration,
to be fought over and talked to death
in Congress for five long months, with

lessl
The Remedy
1t is difficult to suggest remedy,
but something must be done to keep the
navy going. The following suggestions
are made in the hope that some of them
may be practicable or that better ones
may be conceived;
l. Compromise on 10000 men.
2. Scan every item of the bill and
reduce appropriations to the limit in
every case.
8. Cut out the appropriation for an
other drydock at Charleston, which
was put in by an unseemly deal in the
Senate.
a. Reduce the non-combatant per-
sonnet of the navy, officers and men, to
the lowest limit. Millions can be saved
by so doing.
5. Cut down appropriations at all
shore stations.
6. Cut out funds for maintenance Of
all but modern fighting ships.
7. Suspend construction for the pres
emit ON ships building in navy yards.
8. Stop repairs on all but first-line
ships.
8. Put all useless ships out of com
mission and send all enlisted men TO
modern craft.
TO- Close all training and shore sta
lions that are not absolutely needed
and which were not in commission in
1917.
| il. Reduce TO minimum the civil
and enlisted forces at all shore estab-
lishments.
| In other words, give money to a

| loss items.
The writer has always advocated q
strong navy. But strong navy must
be up to date. Every element must
be encouraged that will contribute to

for war at an instant's notice.

ANOTHER FLOWING WELL

BOWIE. Sept. 19-Lee Martin, who
owns the Briney ranch, about 13 miles
north of Bowie, brought to the News
office Monday a sample of water from
a new flowing well he drilled on his
ranch recently. At about $50 feet he
struck water strata, but it was not
considered food for domestic use He
drilled on down TO $50 feet and struck
flow of good artesian water, produc-
ing between 40 and so gallons a min
ute. Mr. Martins well is cased all the
way down with six-inch casing, thus
protecting against the shallow strata
Of mineral water and preventing the
well from filling up. AS a supplement
to our average rain fall this well
should almost insure of crop on forty
acres. Mr.. Martin is justly proud Of
his new well. The water from it is
pure and almost as soft as rain water.

Of the state supreme court, returned
yesterday from the east, where he
spent his vacation. While in New
York the chief justice received te.e-
gram from his secretary announcing
the news which came to him as a
great shock and hastened his trip
home.
In speaking Of Justice Baker yes
terday, he paid high triubte to him
as lawyer, judge and man.

Justice Ross visited his offices for
a few hours, but made no pretense of
taking up work, which will begin in
earnest today. The court calendar, he
said, will be called on October 10,
when the new rules OF court adopted
last spring will become effective
The rules have just been received
from the printer and are a revision of
those adopted by the court in 1872
Changes have been made to confer
with the many new lays adopted since
that time
