WOMEN CONTRIBUTORS
 TO FUNDS

The two Connecticut women who have figured in the news as heavy contributors 10 various campaign funds indicate once again that when women have convictions they are not slow 10 back them Up with monetary aid. if they are in the for tunate position of being able to do so. It was an aunt Of Governor Pinchot living in Simsbury-nhere the Pennsylyania governor was born - who contributed S50,0o0 10 his recent primary campaign. And now comes the information that one Of the heaviest contributors 10 the Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment was another Connecticut woman, living in New Canaan.
 Which reminds one that it Is rare 10 find women belonging to various organizations, be it church, or club, who do not contribute to the extent Of their ability and do so regularly. Many a wife will give a stated amount from her budget allowance every week or month to her church, while her husband, belonging also, will be comparatively more mig gardly, and at least will pay his money with less grace.
 New Britain is fortunate enough to have women who are identified with various movements and they invariably give of their time and money unstintingly. In truth, they set a good example for the men.

KEEPING HALF-AND-HALT
 ROAD PLAN

Despite the studied opposition of New England congressman, the half-and- half road building sys- tenn of the federal government has remained in force, a new appropria- ton Of s165, 100000 for the purpose was passed by Congress, and the President promptly signed the bill, making it one of the achievements of the 69th Congress.
 Opposition in the cast has centerd upon the claim that the eastern states, which are taxed heaviest for the money, ask and get very. little in return, while large western states which pay q small proportion of these taxes, re- ceiye the larger part of the appro- priation. But as there are many more congressman from the western states in Washington, 1t is they who get their way, and not the fewer congressman from the industrial cast.
 The President in a recent speech denounced the plan Of the govern ment giving bounties in this fash ion. but when Congress nevertheless passed the dollar for dollar road bill he did not hesitate 10 sign it.. Even a President will not go out Of his way to incur more political trouble than is necessary.
 The bill means that between the federal government and the states $3SO.ooo,00o will be spent for i'm proved highways, mostly in the west; and this Is exclusive of state and county road construction.
 Some of the far-western states have had much difficulty in meet ing the requirement for modern roads, due 10 their extent.

Santiago. Cuba, July Pp - Un- less saved by executive clemency Salvatore AGuilera will be garroted tomorrow morning between 6 and [ for beating his aunt to death.

The result Is that millions of persons have a years future in- come mortgaged in advance to the aid Of middle western industries, but to New England industries very little.
 If anyone thinks, perhaps, the installment business has not con- tributed enormously to the pros perity Of those industries depend- ing upon it he has only to consider the statement Of A. R. Erskine, president of the Studebaker Cor poration.
 Only 25 per cent of automobile buyers pay cash, he says, and pos sibly ten per cent more could and would do so if required. Without installment plan selling the re- maining 65 per cent would not be- come buyers.
 Since the advent Of the automo- bile the middle western section north of the Ohio river has become the most prosperous section of the country, Mir Ersline points ont, and if installment buying were eliminated 100000 men would be thrown out of work. What would happen 10 the manufacturers of clothing, hardware and shoes if this great region were put on the rocks" he queries. The same thing holds true 10 a lesser extent in nu- marous other luxury" industries.
 But 10 keep this 1,5o0,00O men employed goodly part of the re- mainder of the nation has pledged is income for q year or more.
 Installment financing has greatly aided the middle west, but hasn't done much for New Engands in- dustry. In this section of the coun- try most of the inhabitants appear to be on the paying end.

WHAT PRICE ECONOMY

Economy and thrift having be- como watchnoris of the Coolidge administration. il is worth while considering whether they com promise merc words or deeds.
 The fact that the appropriations made during the first session of Congress woro S5.oor,0G0 below the estimates submitted by the budget bureau gave an impetus 10 the economy boosters. But a lr1o Of the gloss is taken off thc story whom # is realized that the same appro- priatjons were s5oooo1,0oo In eN- cess of the appropriations in the last session Of lhe previous congress.
 l. must also no, be overlooked that several of the measures en- acted. such as the public building bIu. the military and naval aviation bills, and various pension acts. will need continuing high appropriations during future years.
 Three leading measures were vetoed Ly the President in the 6Sth Cungress-thc bonus bill the postal pay increase. and the Bursum bill increasing Spanish and Civil War pensions. Veroes Of the first two were overridden in both houses, but
New Britain herald., 1926-07-07

the Bursum veto was sustained in the Senate. Both the bonus and postal pay increase bills were popu- lar measures and the President made no friends by trying 10 bar them from becoming law.
 Presidential vetoes in the 69th Congress had no bearing upon economy. There were only two, one regarding an army engineer and the other the Indian oil land leas- ing bill.
 The expected sS29,oOO,ooO i'm proyement in government finances this year has nothing in common with economy, being due to i'm proved collections. In reality, Con- gress appropriated more money than usual.

NEW ENGLA\D'S BASIC
 INDU STRIES

There IS much talk regarding the constant increase of industrial en- lorprise in the middle west and comparisons are inevitable with the moro sedate industrial life Of New EuglauI.
 The chief western products - those running into big money-are marketed upon a different basis than most Of the standard products Of New England - and that makes quite a difference.
 The wide development of the in- stalment payment plan has done yeoman's service in building up the enormous automobile industry Of the middle west; but shoes, tex tiles. hardware and the standard goods made in New Englan are not marketed that way.
