REASONS WHY

NE OF THE notable features Of industrial conditions in o Canada past year has been the number of Amer ican firms which established branch plants in various parts of the Dominion.
 Industrial Commissioner of one Ontario city, located the border during month with tabshmen his city under consideration Many already established branches manufacturers of chemicals, mo- welding compounds, toilet preparations proprietary medicines working toos gas and goods.

Since the these amount to very ranged mra T nterals which duties have been are attached to articles manu- allowance is made the exportaton articles beyond the limits of Canada of cent of question: if claim is within the date of exportation of the Cana dian manufactured article.
 Another attractive situation is the opportunity cheap In the of Que British Columbia is estimated thai power of nearly twenty million and of this great total there present only little two million developed.
 Still another influence having something to do with the labor conditions It is generally ceded Canadian labor conditions much healthy condition than those the United States troubled to apprecabe extent by strikes On the whole contented there and be secured at much lower figure than that in the United States
 Altogether it is not hard to why American business to considering the advantages of branch plants the other side of the border and to imagine that if this country should put high tariff walls against materials would look attractive than they do

 Combinations in the building in dustry which have exploited the pub lie are liable to punishment under the Sherman antitrust law and the Clayton act, Senator Calder said, but these laws do not cover combinations between employer and employees, nor do they adequately supervise many trade associations.
 "Too much of the industrial strength of the United States has been expended in seeking foreign trade," Calder declared. After the armistice was signed, this country had visions of a vast foreign trade. Com modities were produced and hoarded with resulting increase in prices un- 1 til June of last year it became ap- parent that these foreign markets would not materialize, and then prices fell rapidly.
 Surplus labor and materials should be used for the upbuilding of our own national plant and the build ing of more homes so that rents may be lowered,'' he declared

County Commissions Delay Action While He Tries to
 Raise Money

Regardless of the outcome of the affairs of the Shelton Bank and Trust company, Edward w. Kneen, treas urer of that institution and of Fair field county, will be relieved of the latter position. The County Com missioners will appoint a new man to satisfy the public which has now lost confidence in Kneen through the disclosures of the banks investments that were made on questionable se- curity.
 The resignation may not be called for immediately, because it is not de- sired to further embarrass Kneen, now in New York endeavoring to raise S100,000 to put the bank on its feet again. While the commissioners
 refuse to, discuss them alter, it be- came positively known today thai
 they have decided upon their course and that the only uncertain remain- l ing element in the situation is the ime when action will be taken. Assistant States Attorney Galen A Carter today declared that he wa. not handling the Shelton Bank ant action had yet been taken by the

How Did They Vote?
lSt. Adams AIessenger.)

governor H~artness's appointment OF
l. NJ. Brooks as state highway commits
sloner TO succeed Stoddard Bates failed
OF confirmation in the senate by a vote
of 70 TO IL.
In this important matter the people of
the state undoubtedly would like to
Know the identity of the men who up
held the governor and those who upheld
Mr.. Bates.
Unfortunately the newspapers are I'M
able to give this information to THEN
readers, for the senate 50 arranged
things that the senators avoided going
on record. "
This secret voting bv ballot seems
rather OF a strange thing 20 The Messen-
ger IN the circumstances. This paper be
Ieves that the people have Il right to
know how -r"'r senators are voting i'm
such an important matter.
1t does not charge the senate with
lack OF courage but does think that it
INDUCED IN that discretion which it be-
lieved to be the better part of valor.
Iust 4 little bit stronger before the peo-
pie II it had come out tiat-foOted with
its vote, man for man.
With ordinary routine affairs there Is
no need Of a record vote. Record votes
are generally called for on important
matters, however. so that constituents
may examine the action of their repre-
~sentatiVes.
Whether any effort was made to Sc
cure an aye and nay vote Is not known,
for il, was behind closed doors with the
press excluded tina" the busniess was
transacted. Certain it Is that the Bates
men. being SO much in the majority,
might have secured a record vote ii they
desired to publish their identity TO the
public. They had the strength to do
this.
The Messenger is going to take a guess
on this matter. Ii can be nothing more
than a guess, but if it makes any mis-
take ii viii gladly make suitable cor
rection when the error l. called to its
attention. 1t believes that the men
supporting the governor were: Senators
CARPENTER, Villas. Bryant. Durham. OS-
good. White, Nichols, Kingsley, VIII
liams, Clark and Foster.
The majority of these names are cor
rect. OF this Tie Messenger feels quite
certain. As the whole membership of
the senate voted, The Messengers next
J guess is that those senators whose
names are not given here voted against
the confirmation.
| 1t i rather unsatisfactory to have to
resort to guess work in a matter of this
kind. and it would not be necessary. II
the senate had faced the situation
souarely and had been willing to tell
| the public how it stood. The Messenger
| also presumes that any constituent has
a right TO ask his senator Just how ne
did vote. Asking does not insure receipt
| Of the information, however. The ques-
ton many people must be asking Is:
| WHY did the senate want to protect u
self with this shield of anonymity .
| WHY not come out in the open and let
the people know who Is who?
