DANELSON

There is a growing suspicion here that either the master mechanic or the grave crew boss of the New Haven road has written it's latest fall schedule for passenger trains, in so far as the schedule is of special local and sub-lo- cal interest
 Danielson people are just awakening to the fact, several days late, that the new schedule makes it impossible for them to get any evening mail, as the postofice is closed prior to the arri- val of this train. As for providing nan and newspaper delivery service this particular train is as useless as though it did not arrive here until ear ly in the morning, after the postofice and stores open business for another day.
 What Is true az to loss of mafl and newspaper. delivery by this train in Danielson Is also true at other stations along the local line. Danielson has learned in the past that objecting to BcBedules framed by the New Haven road, even though these schedules ma terially inconvenience and handicap lo- cal manufacturers and business men, Is not productive of any more material result than a pleasingly written letter From the yellow building in New Haven, the pleaSlngly written letter 1nVarld ply pointing out that it is quite impossible to improve conditions under the circum- stances
 Persons who do not subscribe for newspapers that come by mail may get one now by waiting around until 1t Is time to go to the theater, but there'll be no more supper time reading of real evening newspapers until another sched- ule Is framed.

whereas last year in September the fig ures were 1.947. The 1919 enumeration was 1862, so the figures this are still in excess of that total.
 The chief loss this year is in what may be termed the Israel Putnam school district, where the shrinkage is 57. This is believed to be chiefly due to the slackness at industrial plants in the city during the past year. A loss of ten is shown in the Gary and in the Sawyer districts, while a encouragement in the system of enumeration varies the figures slightly for the Putnam Heights and East Putnam districts. where the num- Der enumerated is approximately the same as last year.

Corpulent, but Satisfied.

HE American Telephone and Telegraph Com
L pany has announced that it has increased its
dividend from to per cent. 1t has the income
to warrant this 1t at the time announces that
there has been time in the past ten years, it
has not had earnings sufficient to pay this greater
dividend.
1t happens that coincident with this the cor
poration is asking for increase of 80 per cent
the New York City rates. Nor is this an isolated
case. In many cities, and some States where rates
are under State CONTROL its subsidiaries are asking
increases 1t is sort of of "everybody's doing
it. but just now it comes a down market.
The excuse of this corporation as of all public
utilities with the same sort of proposal as to
| earnings on. rates, is that the greater income is
necessary because not alone of the increased cost
of operation, but also of money. They can neither
borrow float additional stock unless they can
show these larger earnings and that these will re-
main consistent, and sufficient to pay the larger
interest rates now demanded
They all declare they must have large sums
for extensions and betterments, while many show
impairment of plant during the war period. The
Telephone and Telegraph Company, preferring
stock issues to bonds a source of new capital,
take the high dividend horn.
1t certainly does not need higher dividend
rate to float loan Bond buyers are guided by the
size and stability of earnings, and care nothing
about the dividends to prefer that they are
moderate, while depreciation is large. This
latter fund is the one upon which upkeep depends
and from which replacements should come to keep
the plant unimpaired.
Whether company gets funds from
stock sales loans is of little public interest but
the patrons of this particular company can be ex-
cused for wondering why they expected to pay
higher rates under the financial conditions of which
the company boasts. They may wonder why
under present conditions, it would not be better
postpone extensions for the benefit OF the few at
the cost of the manynot of the company itself, as
corporations seldom take extensions from their own
purse.

peared an article headed "Woman's

Tobacco and Sunday Laxness."
This article. which first appear
ed in the Chicago Tribune and
which seems to have been quoted
all over the country. states that
the womans Christian Temperance
Union was about to launch a cam
paign against tobacco and in IA
vor of the so.caled blue laws for
Sunday observance.
Quite specific details Of the cam
paign were given, all of which were
Utterly false in spirit and in letter,

sued a call for it's annual day of

Of the Lords Day by Christian peo-
pie, for which we haye been plead

have also advocated a day OF rest
for working people.
1t =is well-known that since its
Inception. the Woman's Christian

has been trying, in common with

We have also deeply deplored the
Use of cigarettes by our girls, but
that we are entering on campaign

We are in a membership cam

our interest in the enforcement OF

1t may be of Interest to the public
to know that for over 40 years the

DISPUTES DRY LAW VALIDITY

t. the Editor. The Washington Herald:
An amendment is a national af-
fair. 1t concerns all forty-eight
States of our Union. As a number
of States were dry already by State
right, to pass on the subject under
the Tenth amendment. was the
United States as a nation wet? II
not then the Eighteenth amendment
was offered to the forty-eight States
where some were already biased
and had taken action previously.
This was unjust to other States.
The forty-eight States constituted
jury on a national subject where
in some jurors had already an
nounced their decision. The ques-
tion of liquor had been made local
by pEvious action. The use of
State rights on the subject would
nullify action by amendment mas
much as the Tenth amendment
amended the whole Constitution in
cludinE Article V on amendments
and the procedure. Meantime the
only dry epic in the United States
that looms up properly is the
United States Treasury. II is
getting milked to a finish. Spending
money is an easy job; accumulating
to pay bills is something else. The
auction flag is red. Ii generally
stands for a fool proposition in
business.
