I'VE are willing to make allow

HARVEY TELLS 'I1M

For once, at least, Americans are
glad of Ambassador HaVey's tenden-
cy to speak plainly. At the Pilgrims
dinner in London he made it very
clear that the popular English i'm
preston that the United States played
safe in all its loans and looked to
England for security was without
foundation. The words in the Bal
four mote, to which Harvey took ex-
ception, were THE United States in
sisted in substance. if not in FORM
that, though our allies were to spend
the money, it was only on our (Eng-
land's) security that they were pre-
pared to lend it," The truth is-and
this is the only foundation for Bal
tours statement of last August-that
the United States refused only to
finance the allies when England said
to us that she would not have to bor-
row money from America if the
United States would do this.
The facts are that the war cost the
United States practically as much as
it did Great Britain, when everything
is considered in terms of money. And
the contributions Of the United States
to the war; in money. work and effort
No
States their industries and their
brains. These things Ambassador
Harvey told 'em-and it is a good
thing they should know the facts.

GooDwIN's RETIREMENT

The retirement OF T.. Clayton Good
win from the school committee is q
real blow to the city, Those who are
well acquainted with Mr. Goodwin
personally, but who know nothing OF
his activities on that board, know
nevertheless. the sincerity OF the man
and the earnestness with which he
would go about work OF this kind
Those, however who do know Of his
labors on that committee and who
have heard him explain perpleNng
problems that confront the board con-
stantly, have admired his unfail-
ing courage to take what he believed
was the proper stand and at his
knowledge OF his subject.
Any body which is compelled to ask
for sums as large as those needed an
nually to keep New Britain's schools
UP to the high standard which has
gained such fine reputation for this
city, is severely criticized and its
members have a thankless task in
their service 1t is a pleasure to be
able to publicly express appreciation
for Mr.. Goodwin's devotion to school
interests through eleven years
and to voice the sentiment of the
great number of people of the city
who will learn of his resignation with
regret.

COMPULSORY WORK

The news dispatches from Stock
holm, Sweden, say that habitual no
hoes viii hereafter go TO work or b'
! sentenced TO enforced labor for two Of
three years, If certain recommends
tons are there adopted, They have
been studying tramps, organized va
grants and gypsies over there IL
Sweden and they have made up theil
minds that work Is the best cure fol
the evils they encourage,
This is all very well. In this coun.
try we are not accustomed to seeing
the people OF Sweden doing nothing
There are very few Swedish Migrants
gypsies or hoboes, as far as we per-
sonally have been able to discover
Our experience with the natives OF
that country, or with those whose
parents came from Sweden. is that
they are pretty hard working race
Of people, But while we are on the
subject we wonder what greater obli-
cation there is for people who, choose
to live from hand to mouth" to
work, than there is for that class of
people who are well supplied with
funds through no efforts of their own.
Hoboes are satisfied with an extreme
~ modest way of living. They are con-
tent not to plan for the morrow. But
somehow the morrow" seems to take
care of itself in their case. How about
the people who do not have to think
of the morrow because their fathers
or grandfathers thought Of several
'morrows." Do "hoboes" owe any
thing more to society than do the
people who do not work because they
have inherited wealth? 1t would
seem that the latter class, owing to
their good fortune, owe quite as much
to the world as do those who have
not had the good luck to inherit
money. If we are to pass laws COM
polling the poor to work under pre-
scribed regulations, it would seem
that there should be laws to compel
the rich also to add something to the
wealth of the world. The matter OF
gaining enough food for the day is
small in comparison with the question
of allowing an unproductive group of
people to exist, ignorant Of the fact
that they are, in fact, unproductive.

SAYS RAILROADS ARE NOW
OVERDURDENED WITH TAXES
Chairman of Western Committee
Shows Increase of 10 f-2 Per Cent
in 1922 Over 1921

Chicago, March 2.--Taxes charged
the nations railroads for 1922 in
creased 10 1-2 per cent over 1921, and
amounted to s304,S55,15S, the largest
sum ever paid by the carriers, Hale
Holden, chairman of the western rail-
way committee on public relations
and president of the Chicago, Burl-
ington and Quincy railroad announced
today. Comparing the 1922 taxes with
those of other years Mr.. Holden as
serted that 1922 taxes were 81 per
cent greater than those of 1916, an
increase of lis 1-2 per cent over the
amount paid in 1912 and exceeded
cash dividends paid by the carriers in
any year except 1917. The 1922 taxes,
he said, amounted to 26 per cent of
the railroads net earnings as COM
pared with 13 per cent in 1917.

THE FIyE-CENT FARE

Senator McGrath's five cent fare
bill has been discussed before the leg
islative committee on railroads, and
in that discussion the prepayment of
the bill accentuated the need of the
Connecticut company to try to regain
the good will of the people. The
forced use of the automobile was re-
ferred to and the fact that the peo-
pie, in locating new homes. no longer
have confidence in the transportation
company.
The necessity of obtaining the good
will of the people if the Connecticut
company was to prosper has been
pointed out in these columns many
times. A year ago, for instance, it
seemed as though that good will was
merely waiting for some action by the
company to go to it. People had not
given UP hope, then, of such fare re-
auctions as would enable them to
look upon the lines of the company
as the means of transportation upon
which they could rely and continue
to rely. Then was the time for sim
cere effort, even at some risk, on the
part of the company to re-establish
itself with the people.
Perhaps it is too late now. If
real reduction in fares and a real i'm
provement in service was needed a
year ago to regain that good will,
drastic improvement in these matters
would be necessary now The people
have taken action themselves, in
many cases, and placed themselves in
positions to be almost independent of
the company through the purchase of
automobiles or the location of homes
where patronage of the trolley will
not be SO necessary. 1t was predicted
then that this would be the condition
today. 1t may be predicted now that
the welfare of the company will con-
tinue to be endangered if a broad
policy of seeking the good will of the
people is not adopted speedily.

REWARD OF GENIUS

Occasion has been taken to COM
accomplished great things often ask
themselves the question ut is worth
while?" The practical rewards are
small as a rule, and the greatest re-
ward must come, unless the ac-
complishment is transferred into a
commercial project, from conscious
ness of work well done. An English
authority on tropical diseases took
this for his subject the other day in
addressing the British Science league.
.You throw your geniues on the dust
heap" he declared. And Walter Reid
the young American who discovered
that yellow fever is carried by the
mosquito, was given a mental medical
job after his discovery he was
allowed to fall i'll and die feeling the
greatest apprehension as TO the flu
ture livelihood of his wife and chill
dren." The speaker concluded by say
ing: 1T has often been said that the
man who could find the cure for tu-
berculosis or who could discover the
cause and cure for cancer would be-
come a millionaire. On the contrary,
It is more likely that he would die In
the workhouse."
The worst of it is that all that is
true, and yet scientists go on working
day and night to find the cure for
tuberculosis, the cause and cure OF

INDUSTRIES GOING
AHEAD With ENERGY
New England Production Heaviest
Since Back in 1920

/ Boston, March 1.-The monthly
review of the Federal Reserve Banks
of Boston, issued last night, lay stress
on the statement that ut is now of
paramount Importance to study the
relationship between the trend of
commodity prices and of production"
IF prices continue to increase it
adds, while production does not, it is
evident that new phase of the bust
ness situation has been reached. In
der these circumstances the influence
of money rates upon the situation is
likely to be most important"
The review comments on the bust
ness activity in New England, say
ing:
Concerns doing business in New
England that do not find trade very
good for this time Of the year are
exceptions to the rule. the exceptions
usually being those which have suf-
fered from the interference to traffic
caused by the excessive snowfall. The
volume of manufacturing during the
past few weeks not only In New
England but generally throughout the
country, has been larger that at any
time since the boom of 1920.
Throughout New England there are
very few industries not running on
full time at present, while many are
starting on overtime
There probably has been . some
building up Of manufacturers stocks
in New England in recent weeks i'm
view of the large amount of produce
ton coincident with a falling off in
shipments, as represented by car
loadings. While car loadings the
country over are larger than they
were "A year ago, those for New Eng
land fell below those of the previous
year shortly after Christmas. on ac-
count of congestion caused by heavy
snowfall, and remained below for
four weeks"
Discussing the upward trend of
commodity prices in February the re-
view says:
There are some Instances of premi- |
ums over the regular prices being
paid for quick deliveries. This may
be a temporary condition caused by
the traffic delays mentioned above and
under those circumstances would be
merely another indication of high
rate of business activity"

BOURNE COCHRAN

The death of Bourlle Cochran takes
from the world a great artisan ar
fist of words, thoughtfully conceived,
clearly and unsteady presented and
carrying conviction to those who
heard. He met and gloried in the
mental attitude of those who differed
from him and was at his best when
aware that those who listened held
views contrary to those upon which
he based his arguments. His facility
OF expression, his ability to clothe his
arguments in the inevitable phrases,
was exceeded only by his extensive
knowledge Of all subjects upon which
he might be called TO speak. His YER
satility occasionally called indepen-
denee of thought, gave to him more
the reputation of the advocate than
that of the enthusiast compelled to
speak on but one side of a question
because of the unalterable convictions
that possesses him. Thus. while this
ability to champion almost any cause
created some skepticism concerning
his sincerity, his personal charm and
skill often won even the most cynical.
The career of Bourke Cochran great
as he was, indicates the reason why a
wonderful orator may never gain the
highest place in this country unless
there are linked with his name great
causes to which ne clings all through
life. Bourke Cochran was held back
because OF the very eloquence for
which he was famous.

VACCINATION BILL
HEARING MARCH Is
Continuance Granted as All Did
Not Speak Oh Thursday :

Hartford, March "A further hear
! ing will be given to the proponents
! and opponents to the bills before the
| legislative committee on public health
and safety because all who desired to
speak yesterday did not have full OPP
portunity. The desire of those favor
| ing moderate changes in the law, so
as to give parent the right to say
whether his child should or should
not be vaccinated as a requisite for
school attendance, was overshadowed
late in the day by the attitude OF
those anti-vaccinationist who de-
manded repeal of the present VACCINE
alton laws.
The latter we're led by Miss Sara
l.. Boudren, daughter OF late Major
Thomas Boudren of Bridgeport, who
for years regularly appeared at hear
ings to fight all vaccination legisla-
ton. Miss Boudren took charge of
the ti-vaccinationists who were not
only opposed to the moderate bills,
but to the present laws, and declared
that DR.. Eddy of Canton, house chair
man of the committee, was not fair
in trying to bring the hearing to a
close. She declared that If the state
demands vaccination it should require
that all members of the general as
sembly first be vaccinated and that
it was not right to pick on the chill
dren."
Because the opposition to the bills
was growing in intensity and SO many
wanted to be heard, Senator Bessie
gel. the chairman, promised another
hearing March 15. This hearing was
the first one this session in which
there was anything like excitement
and except the general hearing on an
educational policy, was the only one
which drew an audience of large num-
bers.
