EVERYBODY INTERESTED.

On0 lust can't help mentioning things that indicate Spring is com ing. Not to begin thus early in the year to write about signs of spring, every indication that it will come drawI us involuntarily.
 Golfers will be interested in the fact that the one-day annual tourna- ment of the Connecticut Golf asso citation is to be held on the Shuttle Meadow links August 23. Of course. August isn't Spring. but the action of the officials in setting the date and place for this summer affair in this city. and the wonderful weather we are having, now makes Spring a con- crete reality the idea of which we are able to grasp. Of course 1t Is a com- pliment to the Shuttle Meadow links but we are so accustomed to hear ing and reading nice things about the course at Shuttle Meadow that this, compliment passes almost unnoticed.
 And those who are not golfers those who have never felt the thrill brought by contact of the face of a club against a new. white ball, and the resultant long drive-are inter ested for they see visions of days free from the shovelling of coal into the furnace. days of freedom from snow on the walk in front of the house. evenings spent on the front porch or, when holiday comes. in the shade of some great old tree.
 So everyone is interested in the fact that plans are being made for Spring and Summer activities. It will re- heve the strain of the rest of, the wtnter-and there will probably be some rest" at that.

"JEST RUMINATIN'." (RObcrt RuSSell.)

We know more winters comin' for our reason tells us that, an yet our eyes keep strayin' to last summers ol' straw hat. When even these fool words are read a cold snap may be here-they're due most any day about this season O the year. But gettin' back to that o' hat We wonder if twill do to start the season with-o' course 'twon't last the summer through. But ain't it satisfac- tory to feel that We may think O things that most appropri- . ately has a lot to do with Springs? With coal dust on our fingers, an with woes too deep for words, it's nice to think O Springtoime fields-o' happy songs O birds. It's nice to think O how the grass will peek up. freshly green: it's nice to revel in the thoughts that Springtime flowers mean. This comment signifies that hope re vitalizes all; there's somethin' We may hope for in the Winter. in the Fall. It's good to keer our courage strong, to freshen up that hat, though we may know more winters due-our reason tells us that.

DEMOCRATS GETTING BUSY.
Chairman White Asked to Name March
 I As Date for Workers to Gather.

Washington, Feb. 7.-The request made by 49 members of the democratic national committee that Chairman George White call meeting for March of the entire committee membership to re-organize the party's machinery was the chief topic of discussion today in Washington political circles.
 While the discussion aroused by the telegram to MT. White yesterday ana authorized for publication today by Thomas B. Love, national committee man for Texas, took on many angles, one portion of the message was regarc- ed by politicians especially signti- cant. This was the statement of the 49 signers that they wished Chairman White many years of happiness, and added usefulness upon the retirement which he announced shortly after November ?, his private interests would make it necessary for him to Seek.'
 Spokesmen for the signers said the request for a meeting of the entire 1O6 members of the committee was made at this time so that Chairman White might lay the matter before the execu- tive committee, appointed by him sev- eral days ago and called to meet here February IF.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT
 TO SOLVE PROBLEM
Ireland Is Rife With Rumors or New Plan to Satisfy All
 Factions,

Dublin. Feb. 7-Interesting rumors are circulating here today with re- gard to fresh efforts the government is reported to be making to effect a settlement with southern Ireland.
 According to one report the gov ernment is trying to bring the Ulster leaders into line with a we'll formu- lated scheme to persuade the south to accept the partition provided for in the home rule act and work under has 1t that the prize to be offered for acceptance is a grant of full f1s- cal autonomy to both sections of Ire land. This would be coupled, so far as the south is concerned, with an of fer to release the political prison CTS and grant amnesty to Irish re- publicans generally, including mem- bers of the Irish republican army and even men "on the run.'
 Negotiations to this end now are proceeding it is said, between MT. Lloyd George, the premier. and Sir Edward Carson, Ulster leader in the British parliament.
 Whether the Sim Fein would ac- cept the partition act even with a grant of the control of the Enances, amnesty and other concessions is a question on which the opinion of stu- dents of the situation is widely di. vergent. Representatives of the SinE Fein when approached as to this have refused to treat the reported scheme seriously.

 So, probably, it will be with this proposed meeting to discuss charter revisions. Comparatively few will attend. Afterwards there will be the customary number complaints Why don't they put this provision in our charter?" the habitual "knocker' will ask. And that critic probably spent the evening, while the charter was being discussed, playing some game that will have nothing to do with the tomorrow of New Britain.
 May it not be possible. just on this one occasion, for all thinking men and women who have ideas, to come and do 'thier share to help those ni- terested in revising wisely the charter of the city in which we live?

last year The board of Finance and Taxation faces a difficult Drob,e,,,
 however, as it is safe to say that no
 matter how they may prune the es-
 inmates. no matter how low they put the rate there will be a wall of protest and determined attempt made to re- duce this rate. Let us hope that the city income will not be cut below a
 fair figure, one which will give a
 moderate amount for the develop ment of the city and the repair of our streets and civic utilities. But just the same-let us sincerely hope that it will be found out that our bills may be made and an adequate aI-
 lowance made for the future city work in the rate that is ultimately adopted. A demonstration of the fact that the tax rate is of paramount inn portance to everyone, whether or not property owner. may be found in the action of the property owners who have announced higher rents. IJn- doubtedly some of them are profiteers
 D. portunity that the time offers to en- rlch themselves. At the same time when the tax rate goes up the land lord muse-obtain more money from his rents to pay this higher rate. If he increases until the amount paid in pays his taxes and yields him the same net income as before he may not be branded as a profiteer. Un- fortunately he usually does far more than that and the homekeeper has rent. While rents are greater Tn number than a year ago. they are by means drug on the market vet.
 It is extremely unfortunate that the tenant must be made the tool of the interruptions landlord in the effort to reduce taxes. Many. many times the landlord in order to force another vote for lower taxes announces to his tenant, who might not otherwise be interested. that he must have more rent to pay his greater taxes. There is no denying the need of it but there is many and many a landlord that is getting a very high rate, far more than he deserves as legitimate in- come and who has no warrant what ever in raising his rent. The tenant seldom takes into consideration what the landlords income is to be. He sees only the more rent" cry and votes for the lower tax to save him. self. A great many times he actually saves nothing as the rent is boosted anyhow. It is a merry little circle i'm deed.
 The Legislature is. at the present. considering the advisa bility of chang ing the law that states that no more than six per cent interest may be col lected on a loan. In the past collect ing over six per cent was considered usury. Landlords should be liable for usury if they so figure in their rents that they get more than a fair re- turn for their money. They deal in a commodity that is far more necessary than loans, a commodity that affects life itself. they should be held ac- countable by the state just as much as the banker.
