forward weeks before any action

says We can have il If we will give up

then this plan must 90 into the dis

Mellon puts il. Those who believe

circumstances that a great reduction
in taxes is possible, certainly it is in

for il. The duty Of deciding will
rest with Congress and the Presi-

does not carry provision for its pay

the late President Harding, and
President Coolidge is pledged 10 fol-

OUR BOY SCOUTS.

We all give credit to the New Brit
ain athletic organizations when they
win important contests, and it is good
they get the credit they deserve. We
are all roofing for the New Britain
High School team to win over Hart
ford as it did over Meriden last Sat
urday.
No less. and perhaps more, should
We appreciate the achievement of the
New Britain Boy Scouts, recently
noted in the news, in winning the
President Harding award for in
creased activity during the first half
Of 1928. This award WIS offered by
the late president to the Boy Scout
council of any city showing the big
gest increase in specified period.
By offering this prize the late presi-
dent showed his appreciation of the
splendid work the Boy Scouts were
doing all over the country, and his
realization OF the fact that If there
were more Boy Scouts in the United
States there would be more boys in
spired by the sort Of ideas that would
tend to make them better men when
maturity came to them. Better men
would make for better country, if
only the ideas instilled into and lived
up TO in most cases by these lads
should remain with them after they
had passed the boyhood days.
New Britain showed a twenty-five
per cent increase. Some day, I'M
doubtedly some Of these lads who
Joined or VINO were members before
this increase, will have their parts in
the politics OF the city; in all the city
activities. Ii they will bring into
those politics and other community
work tho ideas OF straightforward
ness, honesty, the desire to help oth-
crs and to aid all movements that
tend to a general betterment New
Britain politics would be very differ
ent from what they are today. This
is given merely as an Illustration,
difficult as il may be to imagine thi.
idealistic spirit inspiring politics as
we know them.
1t was noted here yesterday that
one who has studied the matter de-
clares boys are getting better gener-
ally. Il may be coincidence; it may
be more than coincidence, but the fact
remains that the spirit Of the Boy
Scout movement does make better
boys" and that spirit has been inten-
sified in recent years. Perhaps the
better boys" Of today, were Boy
Scouts yesterday.
