THE ELI RRI OVER

Evidently there is 10 be political capital made over the question of authorizing the issuance of s2,0D0,-
 600 in bonds by the city of New
 Britain for the purpose of establish ing sewage disposal plants. Mayor Weld, when he learned that former Mayors Paonessa and Quigley were in accord as opposed 10 the propo- sition concluded that the announce ment of the unison of the two was tantamount to declaration that Paonessas s hat was in the ring for another term in office. the showdown to come at the election next spring. It was an entirely justifiable con clusion, one which many probably arrived at. Paonessa has not ycr openly declared, as has Quigley
 that he is not seeking to run again and the public is unaware of his plans. T. is just as possible, however, that Quigley, as well, may be casting

SOVIET POLICY IN RUSSIA
 EXEMPLlF1ED

Over in Tula the other day. foi the benefit of the world at large was exemplified the Liberal" gov ernment policy of the Sovieta We were shown what the new freedom 1. and what is to be.
 Tula is small mining town near Moscow Tn which the government owns the metal works. A collection of the workers had gone on strike and were shouting Down with the Soviet" They were given orders to disperse but refused.
 We have often been told that the Soviet was an organization of re- volt against the old regime under the Car. Consideration for ones fellow man, common work and common property was to be the guiding spirit of the new government which had based its successful revolution upon these arguments The revolution was victory for the people against domination and exploitation.
 Under the Czar, had . miniature strike and revolt, similar to the re- cent one at Tula, come about. the soldiers of the government would quickly have come upon the scene If the crowd did not disperse il would have been fired into, deaths and injuries would have followed. Such measures would the govern ment take to preserve its property.
 And what happened under the Soviet when the strikers at Tula col lected, shouted and refused to dis perse? Were they met with honey ed phrases, told to go home and be quiet or go back to work for the good of the community, themselves included? Were arguments on col lective action used, with a verbal demonstration that communists should not strike against fellow con- munists?
 This is what happened. Soviet
 -I strikers. Fifteen were killed and twenty-five wounded.
 It makes no difference who owns the property, If he really owns it, not just thinks he ought to. The differ ence between communist and a property owner seems to be the property.

anxious eyes at the mayoralty. He has used expressions similar to those of President Coolidge's, duplicating that he does not want, or choose, '' to run again. That Is not final, however, as many a newspaper has pointed out in connection with the national election.
 It is rather amusing to find Quig- ley and Paonessa in the same poli- tical bedstead after the history of the two during many years of cleo tioneering in New Britain. Seemingly they are for the time being. at least. It is quite natural for the average citizen to suppose there is political junta behind the whole thing, yet it is also conceivable that one or both of the two are acting for what they consider the best in terests of the city in opposing the experiment"
 The Mayor indicates that the whole sum authorized, if 1t Is, will not be spent immediately, that the bonds will not necessarily be issued that authority to issue them Is sought and that will not come for some time.
 It is perhaps well that this argu- ment should come about over the bond issue, no matter how much Is to be immediately spent. It would probably be well If the question be- came an issue of the campaign when it comes about. Surely two million dollar proposition would force more general interest in the election than has heretofore been the case, when political party and party alone has been the argument advanced to the voters In asking for their support. The question would give talking points to many speakers, technical, political and otherwise and we ven- ture to assert that many more voters would come out to hear it discussed than are willing to spend an evening listening to the usual pre- selection hokum. It is something tangible, at any rate.
 The Mayor i. already committed to the program of bond issuance it seems, the two former mayors are opposed. Inasmuch as 1t is to be public money that is to be finally spent why not let the antis and the pros fight it out before the public as judges the award to be control of city affairs It might be a good plan to increase interest in elections, something which we are all trying to do.
