NOW COMES BORAH

He is too brilliant a man to allow
himself to remain in the outer dark
| ness forever. That means Senator
| Borah. A few years ago he came to
New Britain, won all who heard him
by his eloquence and attractive per-
sonality-and made some of the
thinking people wonder why such an
intelligent peEson could make to
many false deductions about some
thing of which he disapproved Just
because of its name. 1t was the
League of. Nations he ranted against.
Many people, then and now, do
not and did not approve of all the
provisions of the League covenant as
interpreted by Senator Borah. But
they did see great hope in the League
of Nations idea. No so the Senator
from Idaho; not so! Anything with
the initials ~. of NJ must be h
horror--out upon it.
Well we did not join the League
of Nations. Borah was happy He
was SO happy that he wanted to be
happier still and evidently he got to
thinking how he could be happier.
Days, weeks, months and years
passed. Then came the metamor-
phosis!
Senator Borah, of Idaho, the vio
lent opponent of the League of Ma
tons idea introduces into the senate
a resolution calling for declaration
by the senate that it is the senate's
view that war between nations should
be outlawed! How outlaw it? Why.
of course, through the solemn pro-
nouncement of an international court, |
patterned after our own Federal Su-
preme Court, to which international |
court all nations. should bow allie |
glance and promise obedience. But
would not this be suggesting that the |
United States should meet with other
nations in a sort of league of ma
tons? Not at all, not at all: there
would be no league of nations about
it. OF course the inspiration for
such an arrangement would be the
same as the inspiration OF the league
Of nations ideal--of course that
would be so. But there would be
IN important difference great diff
ference. You see this international
court would never have heard the
lame League of Nations" SO it
would be all right What's in a

NO JUMP IN EXPENSES.

n the city keeps within the budget
which calls for tax of 2l,7 mills
n no extra tax has 10 be laid n year
from now. In other words--the cost
OF running the city nest year will be
no greater than IL has been in this
past year This Is true because tn"
is extra tax. although IL must be
added 10 the 2l.7 mills now planned.
making the total 23,5, was necessary
actually because OF this past years
expenses.
Were IL not for the $4,000, 900 in
crease in the grand list it might be
truthfully said that the contemplated
cost OF running the city next year
would be less than 1t cost to run the
city this past year by the amount in
dictated by the difference between
Eli mills tax and 21.s mills, which
indicates what the citys expenses
were last year. But the difference,
represented by L mill is probably
a little more than made up for by
the fact that the grand list has been
increased.
The point to be emphasized, and
one that makes the outlook more en-
couraging because it indicates that a
temporary halt has been put to the
increasing cost of running the city, is
that we will spend no more prac-
tically this coming year than we
spent last year-and that was quite
enough, thank you.
This point is emphasized, not for
the purpose of lauding anyone or any
party or person, but rather for the
purpose of suggesting that it will be
we'll to make every effort to keep
within the proposed budget in order
that year from now. there will be
no necessity for seeking an extra tax.
The rate planned for next year is
235, but is is there because of past
expenses. Next year, therefore, can
not be justly charged with this extra
tax.
