SENATOR WHEELER'S
 ACQUITTAL

The Montana jury which found Senator Burton K. Wheeler not guilty of the charge of representing an oil magnate before the Depart ment of the Interior made short work Of prosecution that was based more upon politics than upon justice.

 As the case against Senator Wheeler pending in the District of Columbia is based upon the same evidence" as that tried in Mon- tana, 1t behooves the statesmen who have turned politicians in their anger at Senator Wheeler for his service to the public In the Teapot Dome revelations to refrain from looking foolish by continuing the persecution.

HIGH TAXES WE DO
 NOT NOTICE

The tobacco industry is making an attempt to call the attention of the public to the fact that nearly half the cost of tobacco products goes to the government in taxes. This accounts for the high prices of tobacco goods in spite of the fact that the price of raw leaf Is not inordinately high and that to- bacco growers are not rolling in riches,
 In some European countries the government has monopoly of the tobacco business, the profits there from being one Of the chief ave- nues of governmental revenue. The plan works under the assumption that when the people are taxed in this manner they will not notice it. Probably they don't just like in this country the consumers Of tobacco have been paying high prices since the war, mmindful Of tho fact that much of the high price was due to the government tax.
 The tobacco industry paid the government more than S5oo.Qoo,00C in taxes last year. which came dt- rcctly from the pockets ot tobacco users. Only one other 'ax - thai rom income taxes - amounted tC a greater sum in tho business O. lh, internal revenue bureau.

WORLDS FINDER BOX
 AGAIN AFIAME

The Balkans once figured in his ] tory as the finder box which caused a connagration that took in the civilized world before it abated. The Balkans must not be permitted i to function in the same manner, or anything remotely approaching it, | again. The situation in Bulgaria Is not ! worth war not even a war be- tween small states The way to bring about such a confagration is the method already adopted by the shortsighted Statesmen" who of- nciate in those diminutive princi- palities alliances, mobilization, fancied grievances, inflated national ism, hatreds based on racial ego tism, differences over boundaries, and national deviltry generally.
 Bulgaria Is afflicted by a dicta- torship. The bombing crime that brought on the present critical stu- atlon in Bulgaria was a monstrous outrage against the government and the people: but monstrous crimes have been committed in Bulgaria before. Bombs in Bulgaria are the main means of argument by the Macedonian secret societies that base political action upon terroris- tic methods.
 It Is now about a year and a half since the Agrarian government of Stambulski was overthrown by a coup d'etat and the premier him self slain. Later his friend and sup porter, Daskaloff, was assassinated. Yet the Stambuiski government had won PIP out of the 245 seats in the national assembly. An insur- rection against the ZankoT govern ment was put down after several weeks fighting; now there is an other instruction.
 Communists, naturally, are mixed in the disturbance; wherever there is trouble in the Balkans the reds are sure to be identified with i, if only in an attempt 10 take adran- tage of the general terror to further their own imbeciIic ends. But this does not in the slightest eXonerate the governments in the Balkans from watching their step and mak- ing sincere effort to preserve peace, rather than being reckless and accentuating the difficulties,
 The Bulgarian militia having been increased to cope with tho situation - this under the authorit! of the Council of Ambassadors a Paris - the surrounding govern ments imm, liately got suspicious and began 10 oil their guns. All O which should be unnecessary con sidering the authority from whic} the permission 10 increase tn militia came. The warning iron Allied officials for these obstrepor ous nationalites to watch the,r s:el came none to soon.

the objections against the old one, Is 10 be drafted by the judiciary legislative committee of the house.
 The chief difference will be that the medical examining board win not have the plenary powers which the original bill sought to grant 1t. IL is declared that tho original bill, which would have granted to the examining board powers to make and amend general regulations which would have the force Of law. will he eliminated. Under such law if tho governor appointed men with a prejudice in favor of any one school of medicine, they would be empowered to make rules and regulations against other schools that would have the effect of be. Ing unfair.
 When committee of prominent citizens drafted the original bill 1t was believed that the lurking in- dignation against the medical scan dals Of recent memory would help to put over the drastic law But the plan didn't work. The Herald was one of the first papers in the state to announce there would be a fight against the bill, and how effective that fight became has been shown by the action of the legislative com mittee in deciding to modify the document to avoid doing an injus- tice.
 No state board not even a medical board should be granted too much power. Some state boards or bureaus already have too much power. The legislature should do the governing, not the bureaus cre- ated by the legislature.

THREE-FAMILY HOU SE
 ZONING SCHEME

IL was suggested 10 the zoning commission that in addition to it's one-family, two-famiIy and three or more family zones, there be a zone for family houses only, and that those of more housing units form one zone. It was argued that three family house owners are en- titled to protection against big tenement houses.
 Such a zone as suggested would probably defeat the theory of zon- ing which is established to promote the health and safety of the city's inhabitants, guard against hazards of fire and traffic, etc. If certain areas were set out as zones for houses of more than the three-fam- ilv type, congestion would be en- couraged, cheap tenement. houses would be segregated into certain areas and a slum created. If it were nossibIe to build these multiple tenement houses only in certain districts, those districts would be filled with such houses. Congestion might breed disease or at least make it more difficult to control disease and of course the fire and traffic hazards would be great.
 With the present three or more family house zone the sky line will be broken by groups of three-fam- ily houses all over the zone and there will be no district where only 1 big tenement houses will appear.

Operations begun last week in the southwestern section of the city bring one step closer to realization the establishment of a new water distributing system, supplementing the present system. which has, by reason of the growth of the city in recent years. become inadequate to supply the city's needs.
 When the new distributing lfne has been completed, high water pressure in all parts of the city will be assured. This is of particular in- tercst to the residents in the eastern section who for many years have had a very slow flow. even from the hydrants in case of fire. The result has been a condition that is not only unsatisfactory. but also dangerous since the miximum fire fighting facilities arc not available. When the new pipe line has been placed the flow from hydrants in the east ern section of the city will show as great a volume as in the center of the town.
 An incidental. though for from nn- important result of completion of the new pipe line, will be a gain in points counting toward a better fire insurance rating for New Britain. The National Board Of Fire Under writers has pointed to the present low pressure as ono of its reasons for refusing to advance this city into premiums.
 The present distributing mains run through the center. The new line will loop the outskirts serving every corner of the town and draw ling from the strain now imposed on the one main line.
 At present lines arc being laid in COrbin avenue, going through Vance street and Monroe street. tying in with a new 20 inch main in Monroe street and Arch street. A loop will he made 10 Ellis. Cherry. Pine and Meadow street. joining the 16 inch main in Park street. Later install. ments will provide for Booth, Lyman and Gold streets where connection will be made with the larger pipe line laid last year.
 The new line has already been , placed in Allen street to Derby street, and will he extended this year , to the railroad tracks on East street , Later installments will join this line from the opposite end.
