 President Coolidge put in a busy day yesterday clearing his desk be- fore he left the office late In the afternoon. After meeting the news paper correspondents and several callers. he had as luncheon guests Kent Cooper, general manager of the Associated Press, and his daugh- ter, Miss Jane Cooper. Later in his study he delivered a telephone-radio address which was broadcast in Denver in commemoration of that states 50th anniversary as a mem- Der of the union.

HIGHWAY CONTRACTS

Fifteen contracts for the con- struction of state roads, bridges and culverts have been awarded, and none in this vicinity. The state is to get IT more miles of new highway and five new bridges and culverts. The bridges and culverts appear to be a big item in the outlay.
 Tn the opinion of most users of the state highways. there is se- rious lack of new work of conse- quence. It appears to be the plan to retain the status quo for few years. We hear talk of new roads, of widenings. or parallel high ways" and the like, but the talk doesn't develop into much action.
 When 15 contracts involve only IT miles of new highway the work doesn't amount to much.

A FOOLISH REFERENDUM

Tn New York a new idea has struck Tammany Hall. There being much talk as to whether the five cent fare should be retained, 1t is planned to place the issue on the ballots for a popular referendum in November. This is called taking the subject out of politics.
 There can be little doubt as to the outcome of any such referen- dunn. Such vote would merely amount to a smoke screen, a camoufage 10 hide the real issue.
 The public will overwhelmingly vote for the five cent fare; it would just as overwhelmingly vote for a three-cent fare, for free rides, if given the chance.
 But such voting unfortunately does not touch transportation eco- monies. The public is in no position to vote upon economic questins.

CUT OFF 30 FEET

The National Press club or Washington is to erect a building 30 feet higher than the building limit fixed for the capital. Con- gress passed an act giving such permission.
 The press of the country which is interested in the good repute of the Journalistic club in Washington, does not want any such concession or privilege.
 The inference in the public mind will be that Congress yielded per mission because 1t either feared the press or wanted to swap favors.
 The nations press needs no in- fuence with Congress; doesn't want any. No special privileges are de- sired or required.
 The building should be con- structed in conformity with the building laws of the city and not in conformity with the cringing at- titude of Congress.

been alleged highway scandals, the alleged dissipation of road funds, a disgraceful pardon mill which un- loosed hordes of convicted murder CTS. burglars, hijackers, and swindlers upon the public - not alone in Texas, but the public in other states and an astonishing delay in acting upon the request of Governor Fuller of Massachusetts for the surrender of Ponzi.
 The political chicanery in Texas has hinged around the executive methods of running the state.
 Husband Jim, during the recent primary, merely denounced his op- ponents as ''pusillanimous towards, !" 'lowdown dirty sinking liars" ," ''monkey-faced Baptists," and other vile terms. But that didn't settle it nor win the primary.
 The Fergusons ought to keep at least one promise and resign.

BUS OWNERSHIP OF NEW HAVEN

The New Haven railroad now owns and operates more busses than any other railroad in the United States except one - the Great Northern.
 So extensive is the motor coach service" of the New Haven that a special time table, or folder, is is- sued, with as many tables in it as in a regular steam train folder.
 What impresses particularly in the motor coach folder issued by the New Haven is the quality of the service rendered. There are dozens of motor coaches operated daily be- tween some of the cities listed.
 Few cities of the same class ever had dozens of steam trains connect ing them daily.
 Yet at the present moment, in Chicago, at hearing before a sec tion of the Interstate Commerce Commission, bus operation by rail- roads was condemned as an evil by some witnesses.
 The New Haven has the western part of Connecticut pretty well covered with bus routes; the east ern half is slightly less covered; while between East Hampton and Willimantic there is a hiatus Rhode Island and eastern Massa- chusetts are covered by busses al- most as thoroughly as by trains, a line even running to the tip or Cape Cod.
 If the operation of busses by the New Haven's trolley subsidiaries are added the railroad undoubted- ly will be judged the greatest rall- road bus operator in the country.

POLITICAL PROMISES
 IN TEXAS

A political promise in Texas IS like a political promise anywhere else-more or less bunk.
 Consider. for instance, what Gov ernor "Ma" Ferguson promised.
 During the recent campaign she promised to resign if Dan Moody got more votes in the primary than she did. Dan got around 100000 more and watch her quit.
 Instead, she has called a special session of the Legislature and now says she will quit when the Legis- lature votes on some road bonds in about two months.
 The fact is the lieutcnant-gov- ernor could handle this particular special session better than the Fergusons, Ma and Pa, as the l. g. is not so much interested in every detail of road construction as the reigning house.
 But, sticking to promises: After the first primary in 1924 Ma Ferguson pledged party leaders, in return for their support, that 1T nominated and elected she would not be a candidate for renomina- ton in 1928. The campaign was merely one to "vindicate" Husband Jim, and one vindication would be enough. ..-..
 That, too, was merely a political pledge.
 The political pot in Texas is one of nationwide concern, There have

Women are engaged in another struggle - sex equality before the law.
 They don't want too much special protection any more. Special legis- lation, they say, does not mean equality.
 Their creed is complete economic equality between the sexes.
 Organized women's groups, how ever, are In disagreement as to how such readjustment is to be brought about, and not all women belong to those who desire sex equality.
 As a result of these differences of opinion definite split in the "women's movement" has already occurred.

CONNECTICUT POWER DEVELOPMENTS

AS a producer of electrical energy the Housatonic river is to be un- rivaled in Connecticut. Large grants of power - legislative power - have made it possible. The river belongs to the state, but its power creating possibilities belong else- where.
 Fully 21 years ago a far-sighted Legislature saw that things could happen along the Housatonic. The waters were flowing to the Sound unhampered, doing little good to anybody except to furnish scenery and facilities for fishing and lit tie boating. Toward it's mouth real boats could lend commercial touch to the landscape, but not enough to endanger the supremacy of real ports.
 It remained for the Legislature to start changing the aspect. Some persuasive gentlemen talked with oily tongues and the legislators listened; likewise, it acted - just like the gentlemen suggested. J. Henry Roraback was one Of the interested parties.
 Now there are two power plants on the lordly Housatonic, and a third is to be constructed. This last one will be more of a humdinger than any of the others; when 1t is completed it will provide 20O,oOC horsepower.
 The largest artificial lake in the state will result just below Rocky river in New Milford; 1000 acres in four towns will be flooded; even cemeteries will be moved to higher ground.
 When the Legislature signed or the dotted line many conservative residents in the neighborhooo thought too much was being yield ed. or given away" as some Of the old-timers termed 1t.
 Some of those still living in thai vicinity, not to overlook those nV' ing in other parts of the state, may still be of this opinion when they see the new dam, the new lake, the new power station going up,
 As for the company, it Is being congratulated upon being willing tt spend so much money on the pro ject. :,
 But let no one deceive himself into thinking the money won't re- turn.
 This is a profitable venture anc the main underlying object Is profit
 As for the Legislature, it car console itself with the thought tha the state still owns the water as flows; it still owns everything pu the power plants.

One out of every five women, ten years of age or over, was gainfully employed in 1920. The exact total was 8,i49,511. This was an increase of half a million over 1910.
 The greatest increase was in clerical occupations; but in auto- mobile factories, and throughout the entire iron and steel industry women showed a remarkable in- crease as semi-skilled operatives.
 In the automobile factories the increase was 1,4OS per cent, or from s4S to 12,7SS in the ten years During that time the number ot men increased only 1855 per cent
 These figures, of course, are based upon the 1920 census, tho latest available; there probably hal been a substantial increase since that time.

GASOLINE COMPROMISE ON ARCH STREET

Construction of gasoline station requires a building permit. That point is now firmly established in New Britain, according to the building commission.
 Once upon a time such niceties may not have been necessary, but times have changed.
 But there Is a law that gasoline stations must not be too near church buildings. Consequently when 1t was discovered that an en- trepreneur intended to construct a gasoline station upon contiguous property to that owned by the St. Johns German Lutheran church the trustees of the congregation stroked their boards and fell into deep thought.
 The upshot of the deep thought was lndL SlIOu6 ODJCSllOho s"Si forthcoming.
 Now for the compromise. Give the civic authorities credit for be- ing expert compromisers. No hub by, after discussion with his wife, ever was a better compromiser.
 The result: The gasoline station after a permit therefor is obtained can go up; but if the church so ciety ever desires to expand to th' nefghboring lot 1t owns in the gen eral direction of the gasoline sta tion. the said g. s. must come down
 Many a gallon of gasoline will g up into carbon monoxide gas before that happens.

this group.

The idea behind the sex equality scheme is that women be no longer barred from some occupations for any special reason, and that their work in any occupation be not diff ferent from that of men in the same occupation.
 In other words, that all occupa- tions be open to both sexes on an equal basis.
 According to this, all laws re- stricting the hours of women at work, and all other restrictions would be barred.
 At first glance this would appear a fine proposition for the large em- ployers of women; but the idea is not so much to elongate conditions protecting" women so that they be similar to those applying to men, but to bend the conditions apply ing to men to be similar to those applying to women. Most employers of labor are in a quandary; the proposed scheme may help or it may hurt. At this stage nobody seems certain of the effect.

The whole theory of special leg islation for women has been chal- lenged. The U. S. Department of Labor is being flooded with requests for statistics regarding women in industry.
 The women's bureau of the de- partment referred to has responded with "a comprehensive investiga- ton of all the special laws regulat- ing the employment of women to determine their effects"
 The National Woman's Party holds that the establishment of sex equality as a legal principle is the first essential to ultimate economic equality. This party is working for an amendment to the federal con- stitution, to read:
 "Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the
 United States and every place
 subject to it's jurisdiction"
 Similar amendments to state con- stitutions are likewise supported by this group.

THONTPSON'S TRIP AND IMPRESSIONS

Carmi Thompson, Ohio politician who has been sent to the Philip nine islands to look things over, IS renorted to have become impressed with the obstacles facing Philippine independence.
 This is exactly as has been an- ticinated, That he will report to the President there is no possibility Of abiding by the dictates of the Jones act can be taken for granted
 The Jones law was approved by Congress in 1916. It pledges com plete independence as soon as the islanders have established a stable government. The Filipino govern ment under the Jones law went into effect in 1917, and appears to be eminently stable.
 But the Washington authoritie' appear to be reluctant to aolde pS the promise made in the law. Il this is the case, the law should oe repealed. There should be no room for scraps of paper in the American governmental archives.
 And there should have been nc necessity to send another social ob server to the islands. There hav' been plenty of these since the day. of Taft and they all report abou the same thing.
 The main issue is the Jones law should we enforce it and grant th' independence 1t promises; or shoul' we repeal 1t?
