INTERNAL REVENUE
 uDnNH.'SInN

Tt is almost impossible to connect the money orders received with the right persons" said the news report regarding conditions in the internal revenue district in Hartford.
 One expects certain degree of confusion in an internal revenue ot- flee during the final weeks of the collection of income taxes, but such confusion should not extend to not being able 10 connect romittances with the persons who made them.
 II takes sS out of every Sl00 paid in federal taxes 10 operate the in- tcrnal revenue department. The public has q right 10 expect as much efficiency as exists in private con- ccrns which deal with the public, Citizens who have sent in their re- mittances are entitled to having them properly credited
 Ii Is to be hoped that the reports from Hartford are erroneous.

Dreben was sent out at the head of small detach. mCnt of volunteers to dislodgc q force of Germans blocking the American advance near St. Etienne.

DECLINE OF FLOUR
 AND WHEAT

Dispatches from Minneapolis de- claro that the price of flour has taken one of the most radical de- cHnes in months, and that the price Of some flour at the mills went ua- dor s9 a barre. the lowest figures since December. The drop in the price of flour closely followed radical drop in the price Of wheat
 Several months ago bakers in Connecticut were considering the raising of tho price ot bread ia con- firm with the increased price of flour. and a meeting was held about it. Evidently nothing came of the plan. as the price of bread remained the same. Possibly a closer analy- sis Of the situation revealed the fact that the price Of flour was likely to be unstable; may be somebody sug- gcs.ed that there would be a differ ent story by spring.
 We do not know what the farmers think about the dropping wheat pricc. but We imagine they are thinking quite seriously

INVESTING MONEY
 FOR INE SCHOOLS

New school buildings planned by the school board in three districts indicate that public demands based upon a long crrscruIo of complaints, are at last 10 be met
 The new school building program which will cost &SS5,"oo, cannot be avoided. Not only is the city's school population constantly grow ing, but the older buildings have been passing their best period of usefulness. Therefore, not only is it necessary to provide new accom- modatious for an increased total of pupils. but it is also necessary to rchabiitato the existing school plant.
 The Lincoln school, built in 1882 has been so ummercifully fayed by citizen critics living in the west end that the speedy reIinquishment of that structure for school purposes Is most desirable, The need for new school in 'ho Monroe district is deemed just as imperative, and will cost an equal sum to provide,
 The expenditure involved is scri- ous and that there is need for the utmost economy in providing the necessary buildings and improve ments is clear to everyone.
 Superintendent Holmes report that other buildings would soon be taxed to capacity is disquieting, This outlook comes at time when condi' tions do not yet permit the abandon ment of portable schools and base ment rooms. Such emergency meth ods of housing children coninue because of lack of sufficient mone, to abandon them, according t' President King of the school board It would be interesting to learn jus how much money would be requirc' to put the school plant on an entire . ly modern and adequate basis.

EXPANDING THE RIGHTS
 OF TROLLEY COMPANIES

Although street railway compares | would be obligated" to apply 10 the i Public Utility Commission to gain | for permission to operate bus lines anywhere in the state by favorabIy :; renorted bill in the state senate, the bill would really expand their pres ent rights. Chapter 2S7 of the public acts of 1921 permitted street railway com panies to operate busses between | any of their terminals without ask ing permission of the P. [, C. This advantage they have utilized repeat ed,v. but they have not endea1or- ed to establish bus lines with out permission that did not oper- ate between their present term jnale, The line recently estao- ushed by the Connecticut company between New Britain and Mcriden took a different route than that fol- lowed by the trolley line between the two cities which also was the case regarding the bus line between New Britain and Hartford, but the bus lines came under the rights oi AL. oor,,,,ry hocaIsn the terminals were the same.
 The repeal of chapter 2s1 closes th,s door of privilege after most Of the terminal lines the trolley com panies have established are already in existence. Now an attempt will be made to broaden their right" through gaining permission for the operation of busses to other points than those already covered. If the law is repealed the trolley company can ask for permission 10 operate a bus for instance, between New Brit ain and Niddlctown or between New Britain and Torriuston or direct line between New Britain ad Water bury: or between any other points in territory not now served by the trolley companies. Independent lines of course would have the same privilege - but they have this privilege already, while the trolley eompanies haven't. And perhaps th' railroad would object to the estab Iishment of independent busses bu' not the busses of its trolley protege
 Chapter 2S7. when it was enacted yielded the trolley companies specia rights within their own territory Now that these rights have beer largely exhausted the trolley com panies will be placed on an equa footing with other bus concerns II ether territory. It will result in ease Of first come iEks 1oVed, witt
