How the big corporations try to give

low we lie about them!
How we grumble at the telephone
companies! Yet their service is the
most wonderful, the cheapest thing we
AVE.
Same way with the water companies,

ompanies, the gas companies.
Well finally boycott all these, as we
ave the Japanese, because they are
polite. we'll managed and work so

This is not paid piffie in the interest
Of dangerous, dishonest men: it is

Sir George Graham replied that
Sir Cecil had no intention of depart

Sir Joseph Cook OF Australia
somewhat caustically closed the in
cident by remarking that when Sir

Callahan Pagan Wedding

A decision reached by the postal
authorities to route the new air mail
Nne between New York and Boston
by way of Hartford and Mcriden
places the town Of Berlin directly on
the route and Is another step to-
ward making this town one of the
centers of Connecticut aviation ac-
tivity.
The fact OF an air mail line pass
ing over the town, coupled with the
possibility OF a New Britain munich
pal aviation field to be located in
Berlin, has caused ayiators and
others interested in lishtcr-than-air
craft to pay more than passing at
tcntion to the possibilities that lie In
this town for the furthcrance OF
aviation.
Negotiations have been made by a
committee OF the New Britain COM
con council to take over the New
Britain Machine Co. tract near the
Berlin town line, and develop it for
a flying field. Persons interested in
the move have had experts on the
grounds and they have declared IT
the best available site In the en-
virons Of the Hardware City But
one problem. that of drainage, re-
mains to be solved. 1T is under
wood the city officials in the neigh
boring municipality are in favor of
expanding the money necessary to
buy the tract. but have received ad-
vices that the state of Connecticut
may lend financial aid at a later
date to towns interested in acquir-
ing aviation fields.
The possibility of the states
shouldering a part of the costs Is
understood to he the only consid-
GRAFTON now holding up develop
nent OF the New Britain Machine
field.
At the next session Of the general
assembly. this proposition will CONS
up for action. Should the state de-
eide against LAYING out money for
this purpose. the city will renew
negotiations for the plot on which q
verbal option is now held. The
manufacturing company which nov
holds the property has made a pro.
posal which caused the financing de.
partments OF the city to look with
especial favor on the deal. II is said
and even II the state Of Connecticut
does not adopt a program of en-
couraging the establishment of fly.
ing fields, New Britain will probably
have its own grounds, and they viii
be located In Berlin.
The close proximity of the grounds
to the city of New Britain. being
directly on the town line, has elm
mated the opposition that might he
expected to arise through the pur'
chase Of a flying field in another
town.
The field is easy of access by troll.
ley, motor bus and by automobile

mo MONEY"

Some weeks ago there published in this
newspaper most interesting collection of public
information 1t was the list of personal property
taxes paid in Fillmore county.
The purpose of this publication, which was
first undertaken by the Lanesboro paper some
twenty-odd years ago at expense to the county
and which years afterwards became state law
is to smoke out the tax dodgers.
If you will take the time to look up that
copy of Levang's Weekly which contained this
list, you will find that there right here in
Lanesboro presumably living on the income Of
their nvestments-for they appear to have no
active employment-who possess neither money
credits. At least they appear to have so in
formed the assessor.
On the other hand you find other men of less
means honestly reporting their moneys and credits
and cheerfully paying their taxes.
Then look over the list Of taxes paid on per-
sonal property in the county. Some firms and in
dividuals have made honest reports and in conse-
quence pay heavily, because large number Of
others lie to the assessor and avoid their just tax.
1t requires no experienced eye to over the
columns of property owners in the county and
know with quite bit of accuracy what man is
dishonesty lodging his taxes and who is not
The time of the annual visit of the assessor
is near at hand. Will not you, good citizen,
this year resolve to make your tax return as just
as you would want that of your neighbors to be?
This newspaper agrees with the Anoka Her:
aid that until we have state law providing for a
county assessor who will be on the job all the
year around, there is little hope of gaining fair
and equal distribution Of the tax burdens.-Lanes-
boro Weekly.
