SIMMER BUS DATA

No summer is complete without an effort being made to operate q bus. line between Waterbury and Bristol. but this year, as in former attanpts the Public Utilities Com mission refused to allow the innoya- lion. finding that service is now adeouate. But permission to scrap more than ten miles of trolley lines in stratford in favor Of busses shows, at least, that the battle be tween the trolleys and the busses IS not vet over. The country trolley lines are in precarious position and are certain to be changed mo Inns lines until none are left rather than be subjected to expensive re- pairs to keep them up to date. The final difficulty of the Hartford- Springfield line inaugurated the summer. and now comes a continu- ance with smaller lines. The comfort and convenience of the private automobile remains at the bottom or the problem. but seems 10 hurt the interurban bus lines less than Il does the trollcys. As the latter have been run at a loss for several years inc companies can lose nothihs through their elimination,

THE GERMAN PLEBISCITE

For the first time since the Wei
 mar constitution was adopted the ! German republic held q nationwide plebiscte; but more remarkable still was the object of the voting.
 One would think that under an
 orderly government property rights would be inviolate; but the Ger mans have a system whereby con- fscation is possible if enough peo-
 pie vote for it. That, at least was
 the practical result of the plebis
 cite regarding the property holdings of the former rulers, which were placed on the block for disposition
 as the electorate saw fit. But the
 voters baked al establishing the
 principle, which was backed most { ly by the Communists, Socialists and radical element. and declined to vote in sufficient numbers to coniscate the property II wonld have required 2o,oooooo yeas, but
 only an excess of 14,000,o00 were recorded. The former kaiser and the other crown officials will retain
 their property as private citizens,
 The main argument against let ting the crown officials retain their property was that 90 per cent Of German wealth represented in
 money went by the boards when
 the mark collapsed and millions who had marks and government
 bonds were impoverished; becaus"
 of this. ft was held, it was no more than just that inc former crown officials should likewise he impov- ! erished. These officials held most i Of their wealth in real estate; and
 when the currency is inflated the ! holders Of really find themselves i possessed Of increased wealth rather than suffering with the re-
 mainder. This argument held good 1 oyer q majority or the electorate,
 but that part which differentiated ] between currency and realty d"feat-
 cd the project by rcfratning from : voting.
 Now tbo Roirbslag will have to
 araprle with tho problem as best it
 can. The courts have maintained i tbo rights of property whenever called upon for decisions; the I;dcbstag has been similarly mind ed. and jt is probable the kaiser
 won't need 10 worry over financial matters in the future, Some say he

of the franc; and of course. that is enough to counterbalance the nations other advantages.
 Frances financial ailment is original among nations in that it is not predicated upon economic dis eases such as usually accompany descending money. In a country Of wealth, Of weII-balanced resources, other reasons than conventional ones must be ascribed as an ex- planatiou of the francs difficulties. The francs decline is due entirely 10 q long series Of political errors on the part Of the state, to politi- cal mischance since the war, to lack of foresight and governmental energy, and to naive reliance upon bloc politics rather than as- tute governmental study of eco- monies.
 It was only a few months ago that the French budget was bal anced for the first time since the war. The immediate effect should have been decisive in enhancing the value of the national currency; but it was the reverse. Nowhere but in France could such a thing occur.
 With the balancing of the bud get Briand's cabinet and parlia- nent made the political error of adding irritating fiscal laws which had the effect Of forcing an exodus Of capital Taxes which in the United States would come under the heading of "nuisance taxes" and the heavy taxation Of personal property, excessive income taxes - bordering on conlscation - led 10 the inevitable result. Perhaps they helped to balance the budget by in- crcasing the income of the govern ment, but they went even further Too many taxpayers have been seeking peace and quiet" abroad as a result of what they term tis- cal persecution. This flight Of capi- tai from France has been one Of the gravest causes of financial un- certainty.
