Part of the cost of construction

HARTFORD, Conn.,, May Z4'
Modern tendencies in liter.
ature, in dress and in personal
habits seem to be along the
lines of a reversion to primitive
savagery," Lieut.. Gov. Hiram
Bingham, professor at Yale,
said at the Central Association
of the Congregational churches
of Connecticut in Southington.
The immodest dresses Of
women and indecent literature
are menace to the old-fash-
toned standards of New Eng
land morality, he declared.
The appeal to the savage
taste for indecent sensuousness,
he said, was a trend toward: a
prehistoric anarchy and pri-

HONOR RESTORED TO FAMILY
Earl OF Mar and Kettle Allowed to
Resume Office Which His An.
cestor Had Forfeited.

After lapse of 2OS years, the office
OF hereditary keeper of Stirling castle,
the ancient residence of the Stuart
kings, has been restored by King
George to the earl of Mar and KelIie.
This office was conferred on an ances-
tor of the present earl in the year
1870 and held by the family, with one
break, until 1715. The then earl took
sides with the Stuarts and being de-
feated at Sheriffmuir, was deprived
of his title.
AT the ceremony of restoration the
earl presented his royal warrant of
office to the military commander of
the castle, and received in return the
key on red velvet cushion. Taking
over the key, the earl said that King
George had forgiven the act which
had deprived the Erskine family of
an honor highly priced by 1t, and
which had now been restored.-Chris-

FARMERS PROBLEM
IS TRANSPORTATION
Relation Shown Between Bread and
Roads. Need More Roads.

Senator Arthur Capper, Kansas
farmer, who, if anyone, should know
the facts about the farms, says that
transportation is the greatest pro-
blem the United States has to solve.
The Senator not only says it, but
proves it in a few words. He says:
in Kansas today the farmer has
to pay p cents bushel for shipping
his wheat to Chicago. He gets
about S1.25 for it there, allowing
him something like 80 cents bushel
for wheat which really means a loss
of about 40 cents on every bushel
grown and sold at that rate. The
railroads, meantime are getting
twice as much for freight as they
did five years ago when the farmer
was selling his wheat for 1926.
To-day the situation is 10-cent
bread or higher for the consumer,
while the farmer, the producer, gets
but 80 cents for the wheat which
costs him not less than S1.20 to
grow. The same situation prevails,
Of course, in the beef industry. The
railroads get high freight rates,
while the grower gets a minimum.
1.-THE people of this country are
being brought to see that basically,
if this country is to enjoy stable
prosperity the condition of the
farmer must be better than it now is
There is no getting away from the
age-old truth that As for the earth,
out of it cometh forth bread
When every trunk line railroad is
paralleled by a broad, smooth, well
graded national highway, strong
enough to support trucks of five or
even ten ton capacity, the railroads
will not get % cents bushel to take
wheat from Kansas to Chicagol
The transportation problem neither
begins or ends with railroads. The
highways problem daily becomes
more and more vital The making
of automobiles is today a larger
industry than the running of rail-
roads; making of roads for auto
mobiles and trucks is inevitably to
become the greatest single industry
of the country. When it has been
so long enough to provide three
hundred thousand miles of high
grade roads (about the railroad mile
age Of the Nation) there will no
longer be an acute transportation
problem.-National Highways AS

inquiry at the Wilson home and to
establish the fact that the former
president was in good health.
But the death rumors do not crop
up any more. and instead it has
become a matter Of watching the
Wilson home on Street for some
real news to break, just as it might
from the residence or office Of any
other noted political figure. Mr..
Wilson'S activity during the past
year has been in the form of
messages, letters and in personal
conferences with his friends and
eonfidants in the Democratic party.
This has been a source of con
siderable worry, not only to his OPP
ponents within the party, who fear
his influence, but TO Republican
leaders as well. They are sure that
the former President does not wish
to occupy the White House again,
but they realize that the great
personal following that he has in the
country will enable him to WELD a
tremendous power if he desired to
do SO.
The element in the Democratic
Party which opposes the League of
Nations has the most reason to wish
that Mr. Wilson would not again
bring that issue before the people.
They want to fight the 1924
campaign on domestic issues only,
such as taxation, tariff and the
agricultural problem They point
to the recent opposition to the
Harding Hughes-Hoover world court
proposal as an indication that the
country still thinks as it did in 1920
in regard to international affairs;
and think that it would be suicidal
for the Democratic Party to again
come out flat-footed for whole
hearted American participation in
the solution Of world political and
economic problems.
But Woodrow Wilson'S political
ideals are as firmly fixed and as
Interchangeable today as they were at
the close Of the World War and
during the bitter League Of Nations
fight in the Senate He will con
tinue to embrace those beliefs as
long as he lives and he will never
lose an opportunity to bring to the
American people as a whole an
understanding and appreciation of
his views

SIXTEEN MILLION CARS
IN 1925?
Number of Cars in u. s. Shows
inevitability of National
Highways.

Three hundred motor cars were
registered il the United States in
1895, In 1925, thirty years after,
the number viii be in excess of &c.
100000.
This is not a prophecy, but CON
tinuation Of a table of registrations.
In the ten years from 1913 to date,
the table of motor car registrations
in hundred thousands, reads as
follows; IL, II, "a, 35, 81, 81, 70,
.91, 104, 1913.
1t is hardly prophecy TO say that
the next two years viii show figures
of lao and 100 hundred thousand, or
100000 and 100000 cars
registered.
1t is inevitable that these cars
have more and more good roads to
run upon. If this number of
wheeled vehicles congest our few
hundred thousand miles of good
roads, it is obvious that a greater
number will compel more and more
hard-surface highways.
Opposition to good roads comes
from two sources; the ignorance of
tax payers, who think that the bond
issue or the road tax represents
outgo. instead Of the means of in
creased income, and politicians, who
desire pork barrel national legisla-
ton in order to get votes, rather
than money to be spent upon roads.
Both classes Of opposition are
slowly but surely being steam
rollered out of existence, with the
automobile in the role of steam
roller.
How many cars in 1885?

Inside Out
A Weekly Panorama of Events in
the National Capital
BY Peter keegan

Woodrow Wilson plans to- take
the stump in next years presidential
campaign.
This news comes to me from close
personal friends of the former
President, and l can vouch for it's
accuracy, however much it may
surprise those who have been think
ing that the last chapter had been
written in the political life Of
Woodrow Wilson.
On the contrary, was greatly
surprised the other day upon seeing
MIR. Wilson for the first time in
several weeks to find him looking
almost as robust as he did before he
collapsed during his speaking
campaign in the interests of the
League of Nations.
And it is true that in recent
weeks Mr.. Wilson's health has under
gone a marvellous improvement and
there is every reason to expect that
his desire to again have an op-
portunity to lay his political ideals
and the cries before the American
people in person win be realized.
Whether or not he will be able to
leave Washington next year for a
speaking tour through the Middle
West and South ends upon the
condition of his health at that time,
and | Understand that his physicians
are very hopeful.
Woodrow Wilson'S "come back"
has been steadily going on since he
left the White House in March, 1921.
Two years ago, newspaper cor
respondents in Washington were be-
ing continually queried by their
papers to investigate reports of Mr..
Wilson's death. These rumors
would originate in New York or
Chicago, for instance, and sometimes
in much smaller towns, and would
be flashed throughout the country
before there was chance to make

In the past 1t has been a customary

MEMORIAL FROM GRAND JURY IS| SENT TO S0L0NS'
Approves Principle of Graduated Pack Tax;
 Suggests Trap Tax

Taxation of fish traps according to the number of fish caught is sug- gested by a memorial from the ket- chikan Grand Jury to the Legislature which was transmitted to both House by United States Attorney A. G. Shoup. The memorial also suggested a graduated pack tax sys- tenn similar to the one incorporated in the tentative 1923-24 schedules recently announced by Chairman Ross of the Ways and Means Con- mittee, but carrying much lighter rates.
 The memorial suggests the follow ing rates on canned fish:
 Clans, 2 cents per case.
 Herring, 2 cents per case of 10000 cases and under; over that amount 3 cents.
 Salmon: Reds, kings and sock eyes, cents per case base, 1 cent increase per case on each additioDa
 
 cases packed. Medium reds - 3k cents per case, one-half cent in crease on each 5000 cases in ex- cess of 5000 or fraction thereof. Chums, humpbacks, pinks, etc, cents per case, one-quarter of a cent per case increase on each ad- ditional 10000 in excess of 10000.
 Fish traps-taking not more than 100 O,0OO fish, $50; taking from 10O,- 900 to 15O,0OO, $200; from 150,000 to 100000, s25O; $2 per thousand for all fish taken in excess of 200,- 000
 Nonresident fishermen's license, $50.
 This memorial was considered by the House Ways and Means Commit tee in short session. The fish trap provision, apparently favorably impressed several members of the committee. The other provisions were not so well received. Several members expressed the opinion that the Grand Jury had in mind the right principle in approving the graduated pack tax, but it's rates, in the main, were entirely too small. It suggested non resident fishermen's license of $50 was generally con- sidered too excessive.

that in the complaint filed by him

there is an individual claim of his

hospital against an estate IN Le

If he was making any headway with

again. The probate Judge of that
county was called-up and he inform

counts, was out of the city today,
but it is understood that many of
the bills, which Jensen had been
given by. merchants for collection
are missing, and it is hard to tell
just how much has been embezzled.
Among the papers missing is a $3.50
note given Jensen for collection by
the Johnson Boman company of this

same firm placed 1923 claim
