HIGH CITY COSTS IN HARTFORD

Government statistics are slow but sure. It takes the army of sta tisticians time to handle the plc- thora of figures continually coming into the government offices. Hence it is not surprising that the statis- tics of the relative per capita costs of city governments in Connecticut during 1923 are just issued.
 And it is not surprising that Hartford, where politics are kept brewing all the year round, is taxed a heavier sum per capita than any other city in the state. The munich pal government of Hartford eXacts s5f.1S from every man, woman and child in the city ever year in order to get along, according to the cen- sus bureau. New Haven, which is regarded as having a distinctly low CT brand of politics than Hartford, gets along with paltry tax of S41.97 per capita, being only about dollar higher than New Britain, with S40.S1.
 Hartford may think it can prove to citizens that it has more to show for its higher expenditure, but the impartial observer iwn have difi- culty in finding such results with the unaided eyes.
 The capital city also has by far the highest per capita debt of any city in the state. Swanll evidently costs money.

WHY NOT ELIMINATE GRADE CROSSINGSo

Death turks at every railroad grade crossing. The railroads want people to be very well aware of this fact. It is 10 their interest as well as to the interest of the pub lie to realize that failure to exer- else caution at railroad crossings means possible death to auto riders and expense to the railroads.
 But emphasis of these facts is not enough. What the railroads do not stress is the fact that the Con- necticut law requires the elimina- ton of one grade crossing for each fifty miles of track every year,
 How many grade crossings arc being eliminated under the law? How many grade crossings were eliminated by the New Haven rail- road the past five years, when it spent $G5,00O,OO0 for better ments?"
 It took years of agitation to eliminate the Clayton grade cross ing north of New Britain, during which time there had been acci- dents and fatalities. This was one of the worst grade crossings in the state, yet there was delay and con- tention before the bridge was built. There are other dangerous grade crossings which have not been eliminated.
 The law calling for the eIimina- tion of grade crossings is not being enforced. The Public Service Com- mission for time was inclined to withhold strict enforcement of the law because of the low financial condition in which the railroad found itself. It is about time thai the P. L. c. begins enforcing the law. The commission has been me ticulous about following other laws relating 10 railroads and trolley companies, it is about time that tho grade crossing elimination law which fa,ors the public, likewise i' enforced.

THAT HIGHER RATE ON
 PICTIRE POSTALS

If now costs two cents to mall d nicture postal card. But congress- men can still send bushels of mail without paying the government cent - not necessarily personal mail, but junk to impress constitu- nnts, copies of speeches they never made in Congress, and pupllclty oronaganda from various bureaus. The said government bureaus can con+inue to mail enormous quanu- ties of mail free of charge. Much oi the stuff they send out is valueless' Publicity stuff still james the mails, and at low rate. It takes uo more room and is heavier lC handle than picture postal cards.
 This is how the New London La! ,roncbantlv handles the subject:
 The business of shipping
 mail is q government monopo-
 ly. If it were owned by private
 industry. that industry would
 sell a dozen or more postcard
 stamps for a cent. But gov
 crnment-owned enterprise has
 to bow 10 public will. And the
 public will demands that the
 government put its taxes on
 mail in such way that the
 taxes will be least noticeable.
 The public seldom cares wheth-
 CT its taxes are fair; it only
 wants them to seem fair"

HEREIN TREMBLES
 ON ELECTION DAY
Voters Going to PolIS-,V Various
 Candidates for Office

Herrin, Ill.,, April 21.-With three recent bombings to mar more than two months of peace in Herrin, the center of Williamson county's fac tional strife, hope and apprehension were paramount while citizens cast their ballots today in the hottest cty election in years.
 The conservative party, sponsored generally by the Ku klux Kan and the citizens party, supported by the Anti-Klan faction, are contesting.
 In the race for mayor, Thomas Kelly is the conservative candidate, and Marshall D. Mccormack, the citizens nominee. Other city offi- ciaIs are to be elected.
 Last November 4. during the gen. eral election, national guardsmen who were in control after the fatal wounding of seven men in a Klan and anti-Klan skirmish a few weeks before, mounted machine guns op- posite the City Hall. The balloting, however, was peaceful.
 In the Herrin township election lasR April ', the .Klan candidates won by maiorities ranging from 2SO l to 325.
 Mccormack, citizens mayoralty candidate, was at one time a rdput- ted officer of the Herrin Klan, but Quarreled with the late s. Glenn Young, Kan liquor leader. His can didacy was opposed by the Herrin Herald, Klan organ.
 The grocery store of the McCor- mack Brothers, Clarence and Mar shall, was bombed on April 10, and the front portion wrecked. No one was injured. A month before, the home of Harry Fowler. Klansman, | was dynamited and Mir. and Mrs. Fowler injured. Five men indicted for the crime are now in jail. The third bombing was on the night of April 12. when the home of John Pisoni, who was on bond charged with bootlegging. was damaged.

 Washington, April 2i--Why won't the powers" come 10 President Coolidge's disarmament conference? They came to President Harding's and were glad to disarm-partially. When President Coolidge suggests another conference, to dlsarm some more, they turn him down. Why?
 We'll President Harding was in q position to say, substantially, America has the worlds strong est navy. Our warship- p-building program will make 1t stronger still. You can't catch up. You're broke. We're gold poor But if you'l scrap few million dollars worth of your ships, we'll scrap n few hundred millions worth of. ours and we'll be on an even basis. What say?" Naturally tho others agreed.
 What President Coolidge says is, England. the way this thing has worked out, you're ahead of us in battleships. Japan. you've out built us in cruisers. France. your air fleet beats ours a mile. We invite you to scrap yourselves down to our level" "Ha. ha," chorus the governments of England. France and Japan.
 President Coolidge is sending a commission to Buenos Aires to stir up South American good roads sen- timent, for the benefit of North American makers of highway con- struction machinery and automo- bilas. This has been tried again and again. It won't work-anyway not now and maybe not for years.
 South America looks like a good place for such trade activity, roads there being few and very bad. How ever, they suit South Americans. who aren't in hurry, as North Americans are. If the roads arc too bad to travel one day, a later day does Just as well.
 Besides, the population Is too thin to afford much road work. If It's explained that roads must come first and then the country will fill up, like the United States, the answer is,
