Hand of Big Business Hinted
In HerriOt's Plans for accord

The proposal was discussed with
the late Hugo SHINES, but broke down
on failure of the latter to secure
from the Soviet concessions over Rus
sian resources In order to swell the
pool. The idea now is revived and
the promoters do not conceal the
view that such a combine would be
hostile to British interests.
Purpose OF Herriot.
The writer does not suggest that
this somewhat sinister aspect Of the
matter represents NJ Herriot's pur-
pose. He Is entirely public spirited
and an enthusiastic believer In the
league of nations. but 1t is undeniable
that the influence Of big business is
still powerful and that Herriot, de-
spite himself, is an instrument of one
group as Poincare was of the other.
disquieting fact Is that important
members OF the French Left bloc do
not conceal in private their view that
the failure of the Poincare policy
means reliance on an understanding
with Germany to the exclusion Of
England
These economic wheels working
within political wheels create sit
uation Of much perplexity. but the
immediate result will be beneficial
in promoting disposition toward
reasonable settlement. England is
confident that the establishment Of
peace on the basis OF the league
of nations is the first step toward
the general well being OF Europe
and that the economic consequences
of such a step cannot be more dis
astrous than the present lamentable
breakdown of the whole organized
life of Europe.
England continues her recent record
for second-rateness in sport in which
she used to lead the world. Leader
ship in cricket. boxing. golf. tennis
and polo have passed into other
hands. Only supremacy in foot ball
is left to England and now that the
continent is taking up the game seri-
ously. that may be expected to go
with the rest. Perhaps England'S
function is to SOW the seed and teach
others to grow the flower.

TAX RATE IS NOW
 HIGH H,.HALL'
Finance Board Head FaYOrS
 Issuing Short Term Notes

A proposed charter revision which would provide for short term loans 10 cover expenditures for local i'm. ! provements, Is the only solution of the financial problem now facing the city Of New Britain. This was the statement Of Chairman L. r.. Hall of the board of finance and taxation before meeting of the New Britain chapter of the Ameri. can Institute ot Banking last eve. ming at the Savings Bank of New Britain.
 Mir, Hall declared that the present tax rate of 22 mills IS as nigh as it should be and that any raising of the rate would mean an inrringe- ment upon the home owners, whom Mir. Hall termed the fundamental basis of the government. Many of these home owners have first, sec ond and even tGrd mortgages on their property and to force them to pay a higher rate as well as to meet the interest payments on the mort gages might mean the incumbrance of financial difficulties for many of thern
 Approaching Bond Issue Limits
 Mir. Hall also stated that New Britain is approaching the limit Of its bond issue, which is s5,250,00O or five per cent of the total grand list Of 5,0O0,00O. This limit will be reached when bonds are issued for the building of three new schools There are several other long looked for Improvements for which no
 money has been provided. One of these is a new retrigerating plant for the local municipal abatt oir. By getting the money from these short time loans these Improvements could be made without raising the tax rate, he said.
 The attack upon the members ot the city planning board who fail to attend the meetings was renewed hy Mir. Hall and he declared that these members should be repl$ced by others who would do their duty in this capacity He said that when only 30 or 70 members attend it is possible for q small clique" to con- trol the finances of the city.

Leader in Place of 'BOld-faced Plu-
tOgOg.'
Chicago. Oct 6.-United States
Senator Smith w. Brookhart made
public Tuesday night the text of let
ter be mailed Tuesday to Chairman
William NJ Butler, of the republican
national committee condemning the
record of Charles G. Dawes, republic
can vice presidential nominee.
Charles G. Dawes has wrecked the
republican campaign, especially in the
northwest" Senator Brookhart wrote.
He detailed his charges and con-
cludes the letter with this paragraph:
Suggests Norris
For these reasons desire to re-
quest that the republican national
committee take steps to secure the
resignation of Mr.. Dawes as the re-
publican candidate for vice president.
in his place there should be selected
a farm bloc candidate, not an imita-
ton farm blocer, but one of the fight
ing type like Senator Norris of Ne
braska, in whom the farmers have the
utmost confidence.
Senator BroOkhart is seeking re-
election on the republican ticket in
Iowa.
The text of Senator Brookhart's
letter follows:
Charles G. Dawes has wrecked the
republican campaign, especially in the
northwest. He started out like a bold
faced "plutogOg" but his discourtesv
and ungentlemanly language QUICKLY
reduced him in his own vocabulary to
mere "peewit plutogog.'
His 'suphuritted hydrogen bank
record, as established by the supreme
court of Illinois the day he was nom
mated, renders him unfit for the pub-
lie service and he should be removed
as the candidate for his party as Den
by and Daugherty were removed from,
Office His official defense in tbie
transaction by a noted democratic
lawyer only makes this conclneion
more emphatic The claim that he
was Ignorant of the import of his act

DIR. HUDSON TRADES
PROPERTY HERE
Building Now Occupied by Price &
Lincoln is Traded for Selah
Property

According to report received here
DR.. Hudson has traded another piece
of her property, Price & Lincoln's
store building, for thirty-three acre
ranch near Selah.
The ranch near Selah was owned
by Robert Burns Of Tacoma. This
Robert Burns is not the Burns that
used to have a ranch near Finley but
information here is to the effect that
he is brother.
The property traded by Mr.. Burns
is situated adjacent to the station of
Gore on the interurban. The prop
erty includes a residence that is mo-
dern in every detail, having electric
lights and other economic and mod
ern features.
The deal is not to make any inn
mediate change in respect to the
building where Price & Lincoln now
have their store. That is to say, no
news of change has reached this
office or the office of the occupants
of the store building.

Kennewick has experienced ten
days or two weeks of zero weather.

vicinity. From the temperature of
the sixteenth, which was thirty-nine
above, the mercury fell thirty degrees.
At the end Of the day the thermom-
eter read nine above. The cold wind
continued from the north and with
few changes continued to drop the
mercury until on the twenty-second
it reached a degree of sixteen below

The warm weather that preceded
the cold snap was undoubtedly
pleasing to the people but it was
decidedly detrimental to the orchards.
IT the warm weather had continued
for a week or two more and then
turned to the temperature listed
above, it would have meant a set
back of the bearing qualities of the
trees. 1t would have swelled the
buds to position where they would
have been hurt by the cold weather
