IN THE PUBLIC EYE

This is the twenty-frst birthday of the Crown Prince Hirohito, who recent ly became regent of Japan because of the disability of his father, the emperor. The crown prince is the first of the Jap anese imperial family to receive a gen eral education along modern lines When six years old he was enrolled among the pubils of the Peers school in To- kio, receiving the customary elementary common school education in daily as- sociation with other children of the Japanese aristocracy. On his gradua- ton there was established the Imperial Education Institute located within the precincts of the princes estate. There for several years he studied under pri- vate tutors. His academic course be- ing completed, the emperor and Mother Empress Sadako decided his education should be rounded out by foreign travel. His tour began March 3 of last year and continued until September, when he re- turned to Tokio and was received by hundreds of thousands of his people.

RATE CUTTING EFFECTS.

Whether the cutting of rates on the American and British lines operating be- tween this country and South American ports win actually develop into a rate war win depend entirely upon the man. ns- iu which the respective lines regard the business and to what lengths they are willing to go.
 One thing ts sure. there can be no ules- ton of the number of available boats for such service As those In operation stand at the present time the American vessels are preferable and the rates which have been announced for them arc the lowest. Whether this will mean the getting together of the lines for the es- tabllshmeut of fixed rates. such as was planned and such as is done regarding ocean transportation remains to be seen
 Whfie reduced rates were due for these South American rnes t would appear that a rate war could easily have beer avoided had the right attitude beer taken. and certainly with the surplus ot vessels and none too great volume ot business this doesn't appear to be a timt Co indulge in rate cutting which is mol s1stihed

CHANGING rARrrF RATES.

One of the provisions of the proposed tariff bill is that the president shall be authorized to increase or decrease tariff rates within certain limits when 1t was felt by him that conditions demanded such action.
 This is an innovation in a tariff bill. It is not in keeping with past measures but it has been advocated and presented for the purpose of meeting the uncertain con- ditions which exist today and waach are likely to exist for some time to come until there has been such readjustment as to bring them back much nearer tG normal.
 Being obliged to deal with conditions which follow the war more than the or dnsry problems have been encountered In the framing of the tariff bill. The situatiorGwas clearly presented by Sena- ter Smoot when he declared, "It is i'm possible to frame a law on the basis of conditions today which will fit the con ditions of few years hence, Or even one Year from now, as conditions are chang ing so rapidly. We are therefore con- fronted either with the possibility of an- ether general tariff revision of the tariff Id w III d SilOIL llAIlC Ol WtLlA ItlO EcuQC- flon to legislation of the presidents ad- mirable proposals"
 The unsettled conditions are making 1t undesirable for this country fo pass per manent immigration legislation based 9n present day conditions. Temporary rel strictive measures arc being carried along to tide over and that is the purpose of giving authority to the president tc change tariff rates when in his opinion or from proper adviceS he believes modi- fcations or additions should be made It Is to be realized that at normal times there are changes in conditions which have never been provided for in any suoF way, but such changes could never bs as great as are easily possible as mat ters stand today.
 l The extraordinary feature of the Dill i! put forward to deal with an exfraordf nary situation, a situation which ha! made tariff revision extremely hard an, puzzling. Whatever changes that migh be made under such authority wouit make 1t necessary to notify business fl advance as to when they would becom effective but such would of course ge careful attention. That which was tn tended to impEove conditions wouldn't b

CLEAN UP wEEII.

Tn keeDsng with the proclamation which has been Issued by Mayor Lerou and which appears in today's issue of The Bulletin the people of Norwich should join hands and hearts in seeing that the purposes of clean up week are accomplished
 The Idea Is certainly a worthy one and there Is plenty of opportunity for apply ing it fn any community. To a large number such a movement is unneces- say. They recognize the importance of keeping their property in attractive shape and the example they set serves as an inspiration to others. But unhappily that inclination never reaches the epidemic stzge until there is. some concerted effort undertaken and everyone in each local- sly is directly appealed to to meet the needs of a community housecleaning
 There gro those bstckyards and side yards. lots and bankirss aileyways and rubbish pockets. ashkeaps and tin can pies dumping places and eyesores that all serve from various angles of obseTva- tion to detracz from the orderly appear nncs Of a community that is supposed to tlke pride in it's appearance and eager Co display its many charming features.
 The longer such conditions arc permit led to exlst the worse they are certain Co get Debris that is allowed to accumR- late serves as a magnet for more.

\ GIFr MIR. FORD NEVER GAVE.

It is 'Gae thing to have it said that you have given such a sum as s2s,ooo.- epe to the government fin the form of al war JGofit which it was not desired to keep, and another thing to actually do so. Henry Ford appears to have gotten cr'Hsit for doing something which he d ldn't do.
 When it was published by m enthu- fsiastic Ford supporter that the auto man ufacturer had given such sum to the government it naturally aroused more than a little curiosity in the treasury de- pertinent. No one knew anything about such q thing and in order to clear up the uncertainty and establish the truth or untruth an Investigation was made which showed no such sum received from b1r. Ford.
 i It is not recorded that the auto build CT saw the statement about his gift but whether he did or not he didn't consider it necessary to give his valuable time to confirming orvdenying 1t Secretary Mel lon wanted to know. If the government i got the money he was anxious to locate it and if it didn't get it the treasury de- pertinent ought to be relieved of the re- ! sponsibility incorrectly imposed upon it.
 He wrote to Mir. Ford and asked for an explanation and the result is that he find i the report was greatly exaggerated. Mir. Ford had no recollection of ever giving any such sum to the government and tho only way in which such a thing might have been given such an interpretation was from the taxes which he had paid. That Is not of course what those who read of the alleged gift by Mir. Ford were made to believe. The inference was that it was an out and out gift something entirely different than anyone else had done and not the twisting of tax pay ment into g gift.
 It doesn't appear that any great amount of harm has been done by the statement, except that it is possible that there are many who read the original statement but who never saw MT. Ford's denial and the inclination which may te created in the minds of some to doubt
 other claims that are made in behalf ot Che Detroit manufacturer. ..
 There may be those who are inclined
 to make rash and irresponsible state n1ents, but it should be understood that
 anything of the kind attributed to MT Ford was susceptible of proof and tht
 running to earth of the fraud statement
 leaves the writer in an unenviable posi- tion.

urHuLprxs ONE MAN CARS.

Numre1us efforts with varying mo- lives have been made for the purpose of having the one man cars ruled off the rails 40 the tire they were introduced much opposition was raised to them but r appears to have been successfully over slme by the service which has been ren- iusd by them.
 Recentiy the introduction of such cars ,n Merden encountered opposition. In Eplte of the fact that the particular di- vision or which they were to be placed Ras operated at a loss Of S40.00O last rear and thus far thls year has been run ht a greater loss than in the correspond Ing period Of 1921 by 17 per cent appeal was made Co the public utilities commis- sion to forbid the operation of the cars on that line. Tn this instance the objec- Ron appeared Co be the danger Involved ln the railroad crossings, two of whicH are on that trolley line.
 How the public utilities commission fseie in regard to the one man cars and the additional safety which they afford ths travelling public is indicated by tht ctiiaI of the petition. Tn this particu. lar instance t appears. following a dem
 
 matte-, that the one man cars can bt operated with just as much security a! the two man cars and that there is nc reason why the contemplated use of th' one man cars should not be allowed.
 As the result of records kept over pc riod Of twelve months 1t has been deter mined that the one man cars figure fl less accidents than the two man cars an; that they are rightly entitled to the nam bs safety cars Where they are uset they mean a lessened expense for opera non which Is one of the economies tha must be practiced by the transportation companies today if they are going to keel their heads above water and render tn sarvice that is expected Of them. Tn one man car has come into use for thi double purpose and in the opinion of tn commission It's advantages have not sac rlfced safety.
