POIAND'S LITTLE
DISTURBANCE

The trouble in Poland has 10 do primarily with the attempt of Jo- sci Pilsudski, former president of the Rzeczpospolita Palska, to force the present government from pow CT and make of himself a species Of political dictator until such time as a government satisfactory 10 the bands of patriots in "sokols," or clubs he has at his disposal can be established, Whether the former president succeeds in his spectacu- lar venture will be known within few days, and from all accounts there will be no radical oyerturn without some spirited disturbances.
 pilsudski is one of the three po- litical chiefs who have been agi- 'ating in Poland for some time, and seems 10 be the most popular with the masses. He represents the Left; the other two fiery leaders are Dmowsld, Right; and Witos, Center. Each has been encouraging his followers to set him up as die tator. Interest naturally centers in Pijsudski's effort because of his spectacular career which fires the imaginations of many Poles. Pil- sudsld was exiled to Siberia in 1887, 1892 for plotting to kill the czar of Russia; and during the World War he was imprisoned by the Germans. Since that time he has been forming clubs and has led local expeditions of various sorts. In 1914 he seized Kielce.
 The present Polish political dif- faculties date from the time a month or so ago when Finance Minister Jerzy Zdziechowski an- nounced a policy of fiscal reform which had for it's main object the balancing of the Polish budget. This favored the resignation of Premier Count Skzrynskis coali- ton cabinet. Since which time newspaper correspondents cabled anything was likely to happen" The "anything" seems to be the Pilsudski revolution.

SATUR.ATION POINT FOR MOTOR CARS

When there is one automobile to every three persons in the United States the saturation point in the motor Kingdom will have been reached, We learn from Robbins B. Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehicles in Connecticut. Consider ing that at present there is an average Of one car to every six per sons, and not enough good high ways existing to accommodate weekend tourists, the outlook is one that might cause any prudent person to pause in astonishment.
 One car to every three persons would signify that everyone who can afford to buy an automobile has purchased one. This is tanta- mount to saying that every single family in the United States can af- ford to buy one. StoeckeI can not be accused of talking for the au- tomobile interests, but the state ment is altogether in favor of everyone owning and operating a car. Nothing but economic condi- tions stands in the way of this de- sideratum, we are told; but when each person in three owns an au- tomobile whatever economic prob lem still remains for the automo- bile manufacturers 10 solve will not be noticeable with a microscope.
 At present there arc aprrozi- mateIy Soo,ooo automobiles being operated in Connecticut by Nut meggors, and this total roughly rep- rcseuts one car 10 every six per sons. On wcok-cnds there is scarce ly enough. room on the highways for the throng; with 60o,0oO in- stead Of 3o0,0o0 registered one can imagine the conditions that would follow. 1T 3OO.o00 Of the number would not get disgusted enough 10 quit, leaving the traffic situation about where it is now, 1t would be rather in the nature of a wonder.
 The motor vehicle chief seems convinced the saturatiou point IS still out of sight in tho distance, but utters one word Of warning that can he accepted and applied now just as readily as when there is an automobile planted upon every 30 feet or highway. That warning is that the steady increase in registration means that increased caution must be applied by all drivers. The days when a fool could be fool and still live in an auto mobile arc rapidly passing never to return.

HOW RIPPER LAW WORKS

lt is possible that the issues in Bridgeport will not greatly change so long as the ripper law continues 10 operate. The ripper law makes votes against the state organization
 How this ripper law qualities to create discontent is indicated by the city's budget this year. The net result of the law word from the Park city indicates, is that $G5,- SIS has been added to the budget. The public naturally is inclined to think it is a queer tax-rcduction law that increases the budget. Yet that is not all: the S35,S7S increase is for tax administration only - verify neat little increase for this job. In addition, there also is q small item of s5O.0oO for the in- s'alla'ion of a now tax system of assessment. Tlo tax gathering of the Eorabacll organization. ire spectiye Of its supposed efficiency, at least costs q pretty penny. Thrifty Republicans and Demo- crats in Bridgeport naturally arc thinking a big think about it.
 Of course. there is a way out of the mess for the Roraback ripper organization - and that is 10 col lect sufficient additional taxes to pay for the extra costs of collec- ton. This might be done; yet there would be the claim put forth that the increased collections were not economical; that 10 spend $S5,000 additional in order to collect not much more than that sounds like poor political and municipal busi- ness.
 The indignation has not died down but has increased lately, considering the additional costs. Small wonder that word from Hartford is that the Roraback or eanizaion is sorry it ever "spon- sorod' that pesky ripper bill in the manner it was done; and also that . plans are under way or will be ! when they can attain fruiuon, to 'modify' ifs antics.
