By the Associated Press
ROME. July 1O.-Rev. Luigi Sturzo.
secretary general of the Catholic
party. has resigned owing to the diff
ficulties in the party over the gov
ernments proposed electoral reform.
The Catholic. or popular, party has
been at some odds with Premier
Mussolini and his fascist govern
ment, the differences recently result
ing in the resignation from the cabi-
net of all the ministers belonging to
the party. Mussolni took the posi-
ton that the resolutions adopted at
the Turin congress of the party, under
the presidency of Father Sturzo, did
not constitute frank and open ad-
hesion to the fascist government and
that therefore membership In the
party and the participation in the
cabinet were Incompatible.
A Rome dispatch last night said
that Deputy Media, former minister of
the treasury and one of the leaders of
the Catholic party, together with other
Catholic deputies. including the re-
signed subsecretary Of the foreign
office, Vassallo, were not in agreement
with Father Sturzo in his opposition
to the proposed electoral reform.

ON THE HONOR ROLL

New Britain again gets some pub
 licity of the best kind from the pub
 lished announcement that this city was one of the 61 in the entire United
 States whose building reports for 1922 show an increase of more than s2,- 000,0oo over the 1921 report. Of course this amount of an increase of $2,2S2,62f was large because of the public and semi-public buildings planned, but the amount is worthy of note in any event. It tells of ac- tivity here and suggests a prosperous community, even though it does not mean tremendous increase in private building enterprise.
 And along this line there should be some significance in the figures com ing from the rest of the country. Take it for granted, if one will, that owing to the good market for municipal bonds there is great deal of public building going on everywhere. Never theless from the fact that so many cities do show $2,o00,000 increase in building over 1921 it must be that the country at large is seeing the wis., dom of building generally. Labor has a strong place now in industry. Wages will not fall far. The cost of building material is dependent to great de- gree upon labor. These things con- sidered it may be we'll believed that | this is good time to build and to gain | the dividends that would come from housing the countless people desiring who are on the way toward being able and willing to pay for them.

TAKING A CHANGE"

A popular remark, some time since,
 was ''I'll try anything once." And
 there is something attractive about that attitude. The atmosphere of
 recklessness it throws about person
 makes that person an object of in terest for many. It conveys the same impression as the reputation of being the devil of a fellow"
 That's all very well in it's way, per- haps. We like action and initiative. We talk a great deal about the real men who have red blood in their veins" The dead one" is derded. If there were not many people, willing to take a chance there would be little progress, either in the serious things of life or in it's pleasures. But the tendency has been carried quite a dis tance, thank you. Trial marriages, free love and similar methods camou- faging licentiousness have had their brief days-may have more of them. They have not added to the efficiency or well-being of the world in any way that one can notice.
 And now the trial separation" A woman and her husband were report ed to be living apart under such an arrangement. Whether or not it was a real trial" separation does not mat ter. The suggestion has been made Other people, thoughtless but really decent, might be persuaded to make a trial of the same sort of separation without honest thought upon the mat ter. In the case cited the husband died suddenly before the trial separation had come to an end. Such a possibili- ty, or even greater tragedy, confronts the people who are willing to 'try anything once" Before trying some l things it pays to consider all the possi- | bilities.

THE ENTRA TAX

There will be complaint because i' has been found necessary to reeom- mend the levying of an extra tax against next years grand list The complaints will center about two mat ters. It will be said that the school board Is to he blamed and it will be said that those who were not econom- ieally inclined. and who opposed gem eral salary cuts are responsible for this added burden.
 Such complaints will be without basis. The complaint, 1t must be re- membered, will not be over the amount Of the extra tax. namely Is mills. but because there is to be any extra tax levied at all. The very mention of an extra tax" will he con- sidered. in some quarters. a slur upon the city. Probably many complainers will forget just how great the extra tax is to be, but they will not forget that the extra tax was necessary.
 This being so the point to be em- phasized is that an extra tax though somewhat smaller would have been necessary even though the salary cut plan had been followed unless such plan had been childishly improper. Moreover the school expenditures are not to blame for the deficit. Out of the s155, 900 needed only about a third is necessary for school expenses.
 It is popular to blame the school board it is popular to blame people who believe city employees should be paid decently. But neither such peo- pie nor such board may be justly blamed for this extra tax. The city has not spent money reckIessly. The levying of the extra tax is the realiza- tion of the expected. No great fuss should be made over it. The city of- l fcials will proceed, trying to save the | city money as they have in the past. The city adopted tax rate too low to meet the requirements of the budget last year. An extra tax was bound to result.

THE HUMAN ELEMENT

Those who think Of the European
 situation at all are prepared for any
 thing, Germany is pictured. at the
 moment, as influenced by the sulien-
 ness of the animal which may be
 led to water but which cannot be
 made to drink, The world would like
 to see Germany at work, producine
 wealth with which to pay her debts. A sullen workman is not productive. And someone has got to pay Frances expenses in her new move. Less pro- duction in Germany, no matter how hard France tries to compel her 10 labor, and greater amounts of money spent by France does not indicate an improvement in European financial matters.
 Meanwhile it is announced in Wash ton that nothing may be done by the United States until the result of Frances experiment is seen. England's ahtitudS "a Ilot
 Meanwhile there is chance to consider the human element involved the personal side of the affair. es- pecially in Washington. President Harding, all agree, is never publicly before the country as sponsor for any drastic move which may be approved the public does not know just how firm or stubborn he may be in pri- vate, surrounded by members of his official family. Members of his cabinet are in honor bound to keep secret the 1 former Secretary Lane, now published, | disclose many things regarding the | private stand taken by former Presi- dent Wilson that are interesting, to say the least. One wonders, in this | critical time, if Secretary of State Hughes, for instance, or Secretary Hoover either or both are not chafing at the bit, eager to do something" Possibly it may be said that it is now too late for the United States to make any official advances The damage has been done. But it is believed that should any members of the presidents cabinet ever publish letters written today those letters would reflect a great spirit of dissatisfaction in the President Harding's cabinet.

.RrsIxEss OF cHuDHoopy

President Edna Dean Baker of the National Kindergarten and Elemen- tary college. suggests something worth thinking about when she says that no business flourished during the last year to greater degree than the business of childhood. She declares that people are beginning to realize that ''as the child goes, so goes civili- zation." Of course she has to empha- size, under such a subject, the fact that girls are today growing into womanhood without any conception of mother craft and motherhood and the fact that the subject of fatherhood has also been neglected. She points to the proposed legislation in various states as calculated to improve the business of c11ildhood-the business of giving the child every chance to which it has 8 claim.

JEWELRY AUCTIONS

There has been much discussion of the proposed ordinance to prohibit auction sales of jewelry before D. m. Of course the idea is to prevent itiner- ant vendors from selling goods in this manner under artificial light, accord ing to those back of the proposal. They fear that purchasers may be cheated into buying something from strangers that is not worth the amount paid for it.

 gestlon may be made that such an ordinance, if presented, be drawn in such a way as to avoid any question Of its validity, The right of disposi- ton Of private property Is fairly well-knewn right, It is iealously guarded and it is we'll that this is so, The ordinance proposed might be held to be no violation of such right. Those interested in obtaining such protee. tion for New Britain jewellers and for the protection of the nnwary of the city who might be defrauded at such auctions would do we'll to examine the legal aspects of the matter.
 The Herald believes that better goods and better value may be obs tained from natronizing New Britain merchants than by purchasing of ltlnerant vendors, There is danger al- ways In purchasing of strangers from whom there may be no chance Of ob- redress in case of misrepre- sentation.
