THAT CHRISTMAS TREE

The children of this city will have that great Christmas tree on Central park again this year. and in this fact every man and woman will rejoice It was in the late nineties that a woman of New Britain became inter- ested in this aspect Of Christmas and bent her energies to cherishing the custom Of throwing over the city, from its center the light of Christmas so that even the smallest and most humble might feel the warmth of its glow.
 A committee has been appointed this year to see to il that the cus- tom Of having the tree on Central Park is pcrpctuatcd. The spirit of the woman who gave of her means and effort to this occasion will look down at the activities which will re- suit in joy for the children. She is dead, but on that committee which will work to carry out the desires Of all who give the right sort Of consid- eration to this festival will be one who was close 10 the woman who has died and who. more than any other one person in this city, inspired pro- found respect in her attitude toward Christmas,
 There is a significance in this sit- uation that all Of us may well take to heart. The influence Of life does not end with death. Because one woman gave her energies to a splen- did observance, in order that the chil- dren Of this city who may have no Christmas trec to delight them other than that which will stand on Central Park. did interest herself In this work, there will be added energy and cn- thusiasm in the porpotuating Of the custom.

He spoke of the excellent arrangement of it. with it's splendid building areas for rcsideuti9l pur- poses. it's business and industrial zones and he was deeply earnest in his plea that those localities be protected against encroachment. He was em- phatic in his advice that the zoning ordinances adopted should make am pie provision for expansion of our industries upon which the city de bends and which have given this city its prestige.
 And these facts. namely the in creasing number Of building permits in the month Of November. seem to give proof that his prediction that this city would grow to a city of 100,- GOO population by l94S was well ad- yised. Wecome are the new buildings and more welcome still will they be when it is known that the right sort of building will go up in the right place, whether it be a home, a store or great annex to one or our fac tories. And this will come with zOn- ing.

 4 few days ago the head Of a great steel corporation prophesied a splen- did business year. For some time past The Herald has been laying stress upon the development Of this city. No great success was ever made without enthusiasm. and the quick thinkers oT this city have been aroused to that needed enthusiasm. New building has been too tong delayed. The housing shortage should have suggested long ago that investment in building was a wise investment. Many who reaIiz- ed the situation were not investors: their convictions were worth nothing to them personally because they were not in position so take advantage of them. Conservatives held back. declar- ing that building costs were terribly high. They refused to see that build ing costs would not go lower in the immediate future, and that the pras- ent time was the proper one to take advantage Of the present physical lay out of the city and to build.

 More than all, the country is wait ing for the message of the President. Never before, perhaps. has there been such eaEcrness to hear the stand upon important matters to he taken by the Chief Executive. He has been silent, giving no indication of his position on matters Of deep concern. It is neces- sary that such attitude be known. The progressive bloc" is indeed blocking all possibility of proper action. Its ac- tion Of yesterday has already weaken ed il with the people. It has been as effective as the hunger strike of inn prisoned persons, and the members of the block grow weaker with each minute Of Its refusal to meet pressing conditions, just as the hunger strike grows weaker. to no purpose, each minute he refuses food.

THE CRAIG CASE

The President, upon the advice of Attorney General Daughcrty, has re-
 mitted the jafl sentence imposed upon
 Controller Craig for contempt of
 court. such action carrying with it
 criticism Of the course taken by that
 official. The attorney generals rec
 ommendation charges that the Con-
 troller deliberately and stubbornly
 contriyed technicalities which he knew would preclude proper consider ation Of his case on its merits alone.
 The Herald, commenting upon the case, stated some days ago that what ever one thought of the right of a judge to commit person for con- tempt under the circumst4nces in this case, there was no question but that Controller Craig did have. had he chosen to usc u, a way 10 have this matter considered by the higher court upon its mcrits-a way, in other words, to have it determined whether or not he should have been committed for contempt for what he had done, namely criticizing court outside of court in d personal letter which he might or might not expect would be made public.
 pardon would have been complete vindication, according to the interpre- tation that would have been given it. lt is a custom of the Department Of Justice never to recommend a pardon by the President when the trial judge fails to give his consent. In this case thetrial judge, Justice Mayer. has said that he opposed an executive cicmen- cy in this case which would have the effect Of approving Craig's conduct toward the court and tho due admin istration Of justice. IL was evident, therefore, that the President could not pardon Craig without breaking precedent of the Department of Jus tice as such department had not only failed to give consent to such Execn- tive clemeney, but had opposed it.
 The Presidents action carries much significance as it carried surprise. II bows to precedent us might have been expected from an administration with great respect for precedent ana regu- larity, in that it does not give pardon without the consent of the trial judge; it recognizes and follows the technical rule laid down by the i presiding justice and criticizss the de- | fendant But, by rcmitting the jail | sentence if would seem to reproye the Justice who inflicted 1t, thus meet | ing general public approval Of those i who believe that Justice Mayors sem 1 tenee was over-severe. unless the ae- ton Of the President be understood ! to have been taken merely to allow the Controller to continue 10 give his needed services 10 the city Of New York.

CITY GOVERNMENT COST

CITY GOVERNMENT COST
 The figures regarding the cost to each individual of the various city governments, are interesting, as show ing that, outside of Waterbury where extensive improvements have made its cost in a class by itself. the cost per capita in Hartford is the biggest of the leading cities Of the state; Bridge port is second, New Britain third, New Haven fourth and Meriden fifth.
 The increase in such cost was great est, however, in this city between 1918 and 1922. being SSH, New Haven being a close second with an increase Of SIt7o between 1917 and 1922 and Hart'orI aui Bridgeport, which cities had higher per capita cost back in l9lA than this city has today, making much smaller increase,
 There are two ways of looking at these figures. one being the light in which persistent critics will view them. namely that there is no excuse for any increase at all and that we did without certain things back in 1918 which we might just as well have kept on doing without. These persistent critics will 90 far beyond legitimate criticism and blame every city official up to the end Of 1922 whether he had anything to do with increasing the cost Of city government or not.
 There is another way to look at them, however. Viewed in this second aspect it may be said that New Britain is now enjoying some Of the adyan- tages Hartford and Bridgeport en- joyed four years ago, that tho in- crease in the cost of our city govern ment is no more. at least. than has been the increase in our individual. personal cost Of living; that every lining Is more expensive than it was in t9lS--whirh may or may not be true--and that the city Of New Brit sin shows in every way the result Of more money being spent for the rum ming Of it
 The constant cry Of the nation is for a reduction of taxes II has been constantly urged by The Herald. It was said some time ago. and there Is no reason for changing the opinion then expressed. that the man who would stand out politically here was the man who would insist upon econ omy and who would make consist ent effort 10 reduce taxes. But occa- sionally one meets men who, though not wealthy themselves, yet paying considerable sums in taxes. believe our taxes are not high enough, They dare not express such an opinion if they are eigaged in the pursuit Of political office, Of course. But there are men who feel that way
 The fact remains that taxes are a burden quite heavy enough as they arc. Popular approval will continue to be given 10 men who urge economy in 1 city affairs. But there should not be the feeling that the money spent re- heeted in this increased cost. has been

to the doctrine itself and not to the interpretations given it later by the American government It was un- just, he said, to think Of the United States only as a country Of dollars and skyscrapers; for many fundamental reasons the United States deserved the admiration of the whole world and the affection of all America.
 Deputy Ramirez also spoke in favor of the motion, expressing the opinion that the Monroe Doctrine should be regarded as reaction against auto cratic Europe and as the expression of people born 10 freedom. As such, he said. it merited the approval of the American parlaments.
