BONUS TO SOLDIERS.

It seems aa if there will forever be an excuse not to pay any bonus. to returned soldiers of the World War President Harding's message to the Senate told these estimable gentlemen that the payment of a bonus now would imperil the financial stability of the country. Our duty is to the disabled first, he said, we must take care of tEem-a very proper senti- ment indeed if it is lived up to. Also he insinuated that the veteran should be given a substantial testimonial of the nations regard-sometime, not now-not while he is President must the extra tax necessary be imposed. not when it would imperil the finan. cia1 stability of the country should it be paid.
 A year or so ago the soldier must not be rewarded because he would waste the money given to him, he would spend it on articles that inc should not have. on things that he could not afford. Now he must not have it because the country cannot afford to pay him. The public has 2 hold of the reverse end of the stick Tho President states that we would imperiI our financial stability by which he implies that we have finan- cial stability we suppose. This is wei come news indeed to most of us. j. present day conditions are sta olt there are many who would willingly go out of business. We hope sol

some of the Solons who have pro-
 disarmament discussion. Undoubtedly
 disarmament will be the impelling mo
 tive, but before the nations consent
 to reduce their forces they must smooth out the paths to the diplomatic future, they must remove the wrinkles
 in the international fabric and make
 sure, by treaty, to keep them out.
 When matters of policy are settled
 then, and then only will it be possible
 to arrange disarmament. Treaties will settle matters of policy, before we get through there will be another peace table, another League of Nations formed, although it will not be as inclusive as the present league. This has got to be, else there will be no disarmament. '"The French government makes no reservations regarding the proposed conference, being will ing to discuss the limitation of land as we'll as naval armament, always with the provision that ample protection be assured against any further eventual ag- gression from the east
 So states a semi official dispatch i from France It indicates clearly that France hopes to safeguard herself by l treaty before she agrees. She should so hope, so should Great Britain, so | Init Rnt c existence of these hopes forecasts a

 undertaken.
 The nations are falling in line, most l of them, including ourselves would willingly do away with the great ex- pense of armies and navies. All Of | them, if they can see their way clear, will do so. It remains to be seen what
 mutual concessions may be made by the different countries, it remains to
 be seen if the drawing up of protec- tive agreements will be undertaken as cheerfully as the preliminary steps toward the conference have been un- dertaken. It remains to be seen if the nations wish to concede to the United States certain things which she
 asks, which things indirectly kept her from signing the Versailles pact Also It remains to be seen if the United
 States wishes to undertake the full

stabilization, some day, that is why we are holding on.
 If the sum of several millions should be distributed throughout the country in bonuses it might prove decided help to business men into whose hands it would eventually drift through the ''wastefulncss' of the veterans Those who were thrifty and kept their bonus in the banks or in carefully chosen stocks or bonds would eventually be an asset to the i country even though the business man was not helped. And, if the American public cannot afford to pay a bonus at this time, or could not afford to in the past it is very very much to be pitied. Other countries, | Canada for instance, have paid appre- | In the provinces there was a fa1 greater proportion of men under arms than in the United States, the tax on | the individual to pay the sum waa much more per head than it would be in the United States" Yet it was paid, and willingly so far as we know

NEW OIL DISTRICT
 A WORLD BEATER
Alaska Fields Expected to Pro.
 duce Unheard of Reports

Juneau, Alaska, July 13.-First of trip this year to new oil fields at Fort Norman, in the Mackenzie valley of northern Canada, nine men passed through Juneau recently, enroute to Edmonton, Alberta. where they will record their locations on oil lands.
 ''I believe the district will be world beater,'' John Mcdonnell, one of the "sourdough' leaders of the party said 'One gusher at Norman pro- duced 1,5OO barrels day, according to reports which I believe are below the correct f1gures.''
 Every. member of the party said the oil was of high grade and asserted It was used in the Fort Norman country for lighting and heating, and even was used, without being changed from it's crude state, in gas engines.
 The nine men "mushed'' into the oil fields over a 75O-mile trail, part of which was snow-covered, across the continental divide from White Horse, Yukon territory. They made the trip to Norman in twenty-one days, which is considered very fast time, and used thirty-fve dogs to pull their sleds.
 Originally most of the men came from Vancouver, B. C., which they left on March ,, of this year, coming north to Skagway, Alaska, and crossing the White Pass trail to White Horse by railroad. Leaving White Horse March 13, they took the trail to Carmacks, on the Yukon river, and then struck out across the mountains for the big Canadian basin. At Fort Norman they found themselves among the first stampeders of the year to get inside" "
 Hundreds of men from Canada and the United States are planning to go to the new fields this year over the Can adian route, through Edmonton, Fort McMurray and Peace river. Most of this route is by steamboat down the Peace and Mackenzie rivers. Although fast time can be made in summer over this interior route, the men who passed through here declared the trail from White Horse was the best winter way to Norman. There is plenty of game along the route for food and the going IS easy, they said.

MERIDEN CONSOLIDATES
New Charter Adopted Decisively With Women Casting 30 Per Cent of Total Vote.

Meriden, July 13.-The referendum
 on the consolidation of the town and
 city governments taken yesterday here
 resulted in the adoption of the new
 charter by a vote of more than three
 to one. The vote was: "Yes," 3,SO5;
 Mo- 1,17O. The number of votes cast was 4,975, which is about 43 per cent of the total vote of the town Of the total vote 30 per cent was cast by women.
 The organization of the proponents was good. They had a large number of automobiles at their disposal, and they kept up an active telephone cam paign the entire day, in an ambitious effort to carry the measure, which consodidates the town and city govern ments.
 The campaign for new charter has been under way here since 1892 When at a town meeting a committee was appointed to inquire into the ad- visa bility of a merger between the town and city governments. The question has been defeated twice be-
 fore in referendum elections, in 191 3 and in 1915.

COMMON COUNCIL ACTS.

The jitney transportation question won a moral battle at last nights special meeting of the common coun- ell. Mayor Orson F. Curtis took the foor and in no uncertain terms, de- nounced the Connecticut Company and the service which has been given to the riding public of this city. He asked for the support of the council in backing him up to the limit in his fight for better service, and well he should, for the jftney question IS just in it's infancy, and New Britain is taking the initiative in the fight against the decisions of the Public Utilities Commission. From every | quarter came protests against \ the | trolley company. Councilman Weld of the Third backed the Mayor up in his stand, asking that the council do all in it's power to allow the jitney back on West Main street. He was l loud in his praise of the French line of jitneys, and wasted no words | whatsoever in Iaud1ng the SerV1cd or the Connecticut Company.
 l A Round Robin" discussion on the resolution denouncing the decisions of the Public Utilities Commission served to bring out the fact that all present | (by rising vote) believed that the jit- ney lines should have another hear l hoe h1>f O111- tion, placed itself on record as an I insurgent to the present Republican machine which ia responsible for the personnel of the Public Utilities Com mission.
 The political aftermath of the first resolution called for the forming Of a committee. This committee has it's duties clearly defined, viz.: to get better transportation service for tho public of New Britain. All the by. questions will be given serious thought by this committee The jitney ques- l ton will be reviewed from data re- | ceived from other cities of the state, l and a loop hole which will allow a 1 chance for the jitneya to operate will be eagerly sought-if the same op:n ion exists in the committee as was
 manifested last night at the special
 meeting.
 The question exists in every city in the state, and New Britain has taken the initiative so far. The council members should not let it die a death
 due to lack of understanding. Much
 red tape will have to be tolerated
 with, and Connecticut Company law
 yers will attempt to confuse the issue l-knowing that chaos leads to inactiv- ity, but these legal tangles can be
 brushed aside. Let it he said of New
 Britain that it was the first city in the
 state to find solution of the problem
 which assurea transportation fairness

 The reason the nations do not feel under moral obligation to administer the vast resources of Russia is because Russia also has vast resources of can non fodder.
