ANOTHER FORD CHALLENGE

Lately many people, in the automobile industry
aud outside of it, have been wondering what Henry
Ford would do" His market, they said, failing
him. Competition keener and tens Of thousands
of Ford owners were prosperous enough to graduate
into higher priced
Well, Henry has done it. And it is simply what he
has always done before in such contingency He
lower prices, to hold and enlarge his market.
The latest slash, averaging perhaps $40
looks impossible. But his previous sashes have al
ways looked impossible; and always Ford has made
good with them against outside prophecy and the pro-
tests Of his subordinateS. Cutting the selling price
below the current cost of production, and
again, he has then lowered the cost Of operating
through forced economy and efficiency and lowered
overhead cost per unit through increased output. He
may do i again. thereby uphoding his characteristic
business philosophy He Will drive competitors to do
their best all along the line. He dominates a highly
competitive industry.
Meanwhile there is much talk OF automobile
models "a little better than the Ford, small but pos

OUR BUILDING INCREASE

The increase of building in New Britain during 1925 having been given at 54 per cent, we discover amid exclamations of surprise that Stamford surpassed us with 64 per cent.
 To be second in the state in re- gard 10 building activities is grati- flying. While congratulating our selves we also will extend con- gratulations to Stamford.
 The city on the Boston Post road is regarded as an admirable city for committing purposes to New York. Its future is bound up with fine residences, suburban develop ments and shorefront property, such as individuals willing 10 spend two hours on the trains daily in committing to and from New York are able to command. The type Of residences being built in Stamford run into large sums, while the New Britain increase has been homes for middle class usage. In the con struction of the latter type of home New Britain undoubtedly has been leading the state.

PUBLISHER SCRIPTS
 CAREER

From colorless though in- vigorating boyhood in n small town in Indiana to publisher of 2S daily newspapers in IS states. the con- trolling owner of a press associa- ton. newspaper feature distribu- ton syndicate. and the endower of an organization for disseminating scientific news this sums up the achievements of Edward w. Scripps, who died at the age of 72 aboard his yacht off the coast of Africa.
 Thus passes the last of the tri- umviratc of Pulitzer. Munscy and Scripps. Although least known of the three, scripps had the greater total of publishing interests. Dur ing his active career, which did not terminate until six years ago, he wielded widespread influence upon public questions in the middle west and west, where the Scripps- -McRae papers fiourished.
 scripps' papers had originality and force and aligned themselves upon the popular side in most pub lie questions. They were independ- ent Democratic, but did not hesi- tate to support Republican candi- dates when they appeared to be better qualified than Democrats. Like Pulitzer, he believed in re- form where evils existed and at tackled them with vigor. And like Pulitzer, he took to the sea when in the sunset of life, substituting the setlusion and silence of the oceans for the turmoil of news paper direction.

PRISON-NIADE GOODS

Popular prejudice against prison made goods is admitted by Gov crnor Franklin S. Billings of Yer mont. who Is heading a movement to stop Congress from passing a law that such goods be plainly branded when disposed of in in- tcrstatc commerce.
 Popular prejudice would prevent the sale of branded prison goods in other states Governor Billings holds, and would close up the work shops of state prisons, driving prisoners insane through enforced idleness." The Vermont prison at Windsor would need to work only two weeks to supply the demand for its goods in Vermont, he said. In the plant today there Is q mod crn shoe factory.
 There arc 4S states and some of them have moro than one state prison. Merchandise is manufac- turcd in virtually all of them and 1t is sold to the public. Such mer- chandise, of course. is never marked. It is produced chcaply and naturally can readily undcrs"ll merchandise made by other plants
 Free labor naturally is opposed to such competition; we rather think most manufacturers operat- ing plants competing with prison- made goods likewise oppose such competition. We have heard much concerning the necessity of main- taiaing an American standard of living and have a high tariff de- signc 10 attain this end. Yet there is merchandise being sold that can be said to undermine the Ameri- can standard of living as effectively as goods produced upon the low basis Of q Chinese standard of liv- ing; and it needs to meet no tariff 10 get into the country and must pay no ocean freight rates.
