agriculture; and most Of them live from manufacturing or the indus tries that serve manufacturing and the people employed in them. And they are crowded into smaller ter ritory than elsewhere in the coun- try; live more frequently in apart ments, flats and tenements than elsewhere; and live in cities which are nearer 10 each other than in other sections. IT is easier to com mute from one city 10 another in most parts Of New England than in any other section of the coun- try.
 If one compares New England's density Of population with some of the middle western states where manufacturing has been greatly developed one finds that the den- sity Of New England living still far transcends the competitive western manufacturing states. Illinois, for instance, with the second largest city in the country helping to in- crease the density average, has a density of only 115 to the square mile; indicating that Illinois main occupation remains agriculture and kindred industries. Michigan. with the hub of the automobile manu- featuring industry within it's bor- ders, has a density of only 63 10 the square mile; Indiana, S1; Ohio. with many manufacturing cities within it, has a density of Al.
 In population increase perccn- tages Connecticut stands supreme in New England, the average in- crease for ten years being g per cent. Massachusetts is a good sec ond with fl per cent; Rhode Is- land, Il per cent. The other New England states are low in the popu- lation increase, New Hampshire. 2.9 per cent; Vermont a decrease of 1 per cent: and Maine showing an increase of 3 per cent. The heart Of New England, then, from both d population and increase Of population standpoint, is composed or Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
 The percentage increase of popu- lation of Connecticut is not sur passed in the west except by one state. Michigan. The latter state shows an increase Of 30 per cent, but the others are all below the Connecticut increase: Illinois. 15; Ohio, 20; Indiana. s.
 There seems 10 be nothing wrong WllH New England. m spite or what censorious critics are apt to say. There seems to be no wild scramble to other sections; and in stead of slowing up in the total number Of people identified with it's industrial life. there is a con- stant increase. We don't use as many uumpets in order 10 tell the world about if; but when the re- turns are all in. the statistics col locted and the facts printed. the heart of New England continues beating fast.

LAUDS STATES POLICY
 ON ROAD CONSTRUCTION
SenatCr Bingham Says Conn. Spend. 15 Times As Much As Allowed
 By Congress.
GEORGE H. MANNING


 1 Washington Bureau of N, E. Herald.1 i Washington. June z P)--Connecti- 1 cut spends l , times as much money on good roads as it receives from ithe United States government for that purpose. Senator Hiram Bing- ham of Connecticut told the senate, lin opposing the bill providing for continuation of federal aid for the building of highways.
 i This is q larger amount than any other state in the union spends in proportion 10 the federal aid re- ceived, Senator Bingham declared. "Connucticut is self reliant, and wants to build it's good roads itself, in it's own way without asking aid Of the Unitcd States government" Senator Bingham said, pointing out tho achievements of his state in the building of good roads. Senator Bingham. as well as most of the other New England delega- ton, opposes federal aid 10 all kinds of state projects on the grounds that such aid is not constitutional and that it tends to weaken the intia- Hive Of the states.
 Gasoline axes and high taxes for registration provides .Connecticut's good roads, Senator Bingham explained.
 "The fairest system of financing good roads is through gasoline tax" he said, "because the man who use the roads most pays most for their construction and maintenance, and the man who uses them least pays least for them"

BOR.AH THE BIG

Few citizens can go 1he whole distance with Senator Borah on any public question. They can agree with him on some things, but arc bound to disagree with him on others.
 Borah admits he is not bounden to any man, party or organization; he has ideas. ideals and conyic- lions; and knows how to present them forcefully and fearlessly. He does not trim his sails to catch votes; nor is he at pains to dis cover how majority opinion in his state leans before taking a stand. In truth it can be said, he is q personality.
 Borah has mcrited both disdain and admiration. When he speaks in favor of some issue with which one happens to agree. he does it so well that one goes into an ec- stasy of admiration. When he strikes at p>t conviction, how ever, admiration gives way to eX- trcmo irritation -- not primarily because of his act. but how well and thoroughly he did 1t.
 Regarded by many as the out standing leader in the Senate to- day. one is constrained 10 question the extent of his followers. For Borah has crisscrossed into so many public questions. upholding and denouncing So many issues held by each faction and every party, that one may well conclude no follower can agree with such q leader more than half the time.
 Vet in this day of me-too states men, of senators who first listen for the crack Of the whip in Wash ingjon or whose main conception of poltico-statesmanship is not to tread upon the toes of any consid- erable voting bloc in the home state, Borah stands ont as the most distinctive senator We have.

IowA's POLITICAL SPREE

In Iowa today man past the most active period of life one whose activity in the Senate has been identified with much impor- tant legislation, is attempting 10 hold aoft the torch of Republican supremacy in 8 primary election that will be regarded as test of the administration strength. He is Albert E. Cummins, of course, co-author Of the Esch-Cummins law and once mentioned seriously as presidential timber.
 If it had not been for the un- seating of former Senator Smith w. Brookhart all would have been well in Iowa for Cummins: he would have regained the nomina- tion without a tussle. Brookham has finished such a strong cam paign in the heart Of the corn belt hat Cummins. an old man. has been given much 10 worry about, The candidacy of Howard J.
