FOR MORE REVENUE
Refuses to Prescribe Divi-
sions on Freight Rates Ask
ed by New England Roads.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
joint freight rates to go to New Eng
land roads, but declared that fair di-
visions cannot flow from existing ar
rangements.'
New England carriers applied for a
redivision of joint rates between car
riers east and west of the Hudson river
seeking 4 greater share of the revenues.
and protracted hearings Were held by
the commission last winter.
The commission agreed with the roads
outside New England that the effort of
New England roads was Ito augment
their revenue from traffic which they
interchange with their connections with
out regard to the question of whether
the present divisions are fair and rea-
sonable and without consideration of the
probable effect upon revenues" of the
other roads.
The commission also said that to
exclude certain roads in New England
which were opposed to the proposal
of the majority would not be treat
ing the New England roads as a
whole" "
Replying. to reqC ast that. blan-
ket increase be given New England
roads and allotted among them by the
commission. the decision said:
This would be taking from one
read, and giving to a less prosperous
road. thus doing by indirectiOn what
tha Congress deliberately and spe-
officially refused to authorize us to
do"
The financial condition of New
England roads is not measurably
worse than that of some of the de-
fendant roads. the commission said.
in reply to the claim that roads in
that territory were not adequately
compensated for their service. which
they declared was more expensive
than that of other roads.
Commissioner Eastman diSsented.

A GOLDEN ANNIvERsAkY.

It is a hsT century since the Norwalk Hour began its career and well may it take pride in the observance of it's an niversary, marked as it was by the is suance of a highly creditable special edi- ton of 56 pages on May sixth. The Hour came into being in rather unusual way. It was not as is So often the case that there was Q public demand for the es- tablishment of newspaper But because its founder, Brainerd W Naples. lost or mislaid his commatation ticket and when he could not present it to the con ductor of the train between New York and South Norwslk, resulting in his be- ing put off, decided that it was time to give expression to his feelings through the medium of a newspaper. Appearing first as a bi-weekly it became after a year a weekly and was for a time print ed in New York and not until 1875 that
 it printed it's own editions. It became daily in 1895 and has gone through Q period of rapid development since that time possessing not only a building of
 it's own but well equipped modern plant and in every way admirably serving what must be an appreciztfve as well as an enterprisfng community.
 The Hour has come through the trials and tribulations of the first 50 year: with flying coIors and there is every req son to believe that it will be just as wig orous in the celebration of it's centenary as it was in the observance of it's hall way mark.

A few weeks later she wore them down down. And just as she went to get off the street car one of the pumps came of. Mortified she turned to pick il up, but young man crossing the street got it, and was now waiting to help her to the sidewalk. She half hobbfed and was half carried there, where she put | on the rcereant slipper. When she went | to thank him for his help he said smiling. | ly: "I hope this Cinderella doesn't flee as 1 the fairy one did.'

board has contracted for specially pre- pared weekly lists of endorsed films for every principal in the city. The school principal in turn publishes the lists in school papers and bulletins. so that many school children in that city have the op- portunity of taking home each week the list of endorsed films soon to be played in nearby theatres. This gives the family the power of selection. If this service were extended to all school boards in the country, the demand for this type of film would be almost overwhelming. There is no doubt that producers would then turn their attention to the production of whole some films because of their increased popularity and consequent increased profit.
 The movies are worthy of our attention. It is possible to reconstruct them so that they will be an aid to civilization rather than menace.
 The American public is urged to seek out and support by it's patronage whole

sHIrPING NEEns.

When the chairman of the foreign trade council declares that the loss suf- fered by this country as the result of the failure to sell it's ships when the fighting stopped amounts in his opinion to $500, Oo6 ,o0o it showv the effect of the policy that was put into effect of demanding prices that were higher than it was possible to get.
 There was reason to commend those in charge of the vessels for not dispos- ing of them fo4 song for they had cost the country huge sum of money, built as they were at the topmost price for such construction and as has been repeatedly brought t6 light without re- gard for what the ultinn3te cost was going to be. But it was not plausible for them to expect to receive what the ships. cost A certain large percentage of their cost had to be charged to the war and the demand 10 get Ships at the earliest possible moment. There were figures at which others were buying and selling shiUs and there was an opportu- nity to have done business in accord with those figures but it was not fol- lowed and the result is we have the ships on our hands and we cannot real ize now by more than three quarters of a billion what they would have brought right after the war.
 But more than that we have had ouf experience in the government operation of ships and the attempt to maintain g merchant marine uffder our existing law. until it can be appreciated that the quicker government influences can bt removed from the shipping business ant laws revised SD that American shipping can compete with that of other ccurtrie, the quicker and greater will be the sue cess Of the effect to re-establish tn American flag on the high seas.
 Chairman Farrell plainly says that ou merchant vessels are bound to be handi capped as long as the existing laws con corning them are maintained If we cal not compete we cannot develop and i we cannot develop and utilize the grea number of ships on hand we are wors of than we were before the war. Tn aim should be to get the shipping brsi
 ness under private control and give tn ships q chance to do bt1S.ness.
