SAVING FRANCONIA NOTCH

One of New Ensiand's most glorious beauty spots, Franconia Notch, will either be ruined by the relentless march of the woodcutters within the next few years. or saved to postority as a scenic marvel by the action of the public of New Eng land.
 Negotiations are under way for the purchase of the famed spot-thc state of New Hampshire is to pay half the necessary sum and the So- ciety for the Preservation Of New Hampshire Forests the other half, approximately s20O,000 each. The estate of the late James J. storrou has contributed s100,oO0 10 the lat ter organization, and the remaining sum Of sl00,000 must be found in New England; it will come from citizens through popular subscrip- tion.
 It is said that our redoubtable womens clubs in New England are to be busily engaged in raising the sum needed this winter. A better cause would be hard to find. That does not moan that other organiza- ions are to he free from the ncCcs- sity Of en't Hg the campaign. The sum needed, spread throughout all of New England, is ridiculously small, and we are confident that Franconia Notch will be spared. Any other course would a blot to the pride of this tier Of states, and would indicate 10 the remainder Of the country that the spirit of New Eng land has departed.
 Where nature has been so lavish it Is the duty of New England 10 preserve her beauties. Franconia Notch must be saved.

CONSTiTJ TION TINkERING
 IN NEW YORK

Voters of New York face cXactine trials in the November election: if they give what they are to vote about the study that the subjects re- quirc they will have little time for more pleasure between now and the election date. In addition 10 voting for long string of candidates. they will he required 10 voice their sonti- ments upon nine important amend mouts 10 the state constitution and ono amendment to the charter of the City of New York.
 One Of tho proposed amendments to the state constitution, however. transcends all the others in import aur" and is Of highly controversial nature. This, or course, is the term oNt'ndor," embodying the effort Of upstate grand old party politicians to "N'cnd ihc term Of the governor from two 10 four years, with tho coTollary of four year terms for state senator's.
 The idoa, Of course, is 10 put the election of governors into prcvldcn- tial election years, which would make it easier for the grand old party. Such a scheme was defeated in Now Jersey last week. and WI would hc willing 10 bet q five cent cigar aglinst q plugged nickel that inc proposal will also be defeated in Now York.
 The other amendments 10 be voted upon cmbody some of the most mooted points of 'm odorn state de volopments. They are: The establish ncnt of", budget system Of finance;

TOO MUCH POWER,

Whether the federal reserve boa I'd has been exceeding it's powers in esta blishing rediscount rates in the lo districts Is destined to be fought out in Congress. The board has been acting on the assumption 1t had the authority: many bankers believe it hasn't. If Congress knows what powers it intended the board
 to have, perhaps it will be able to clarify the law with an amendment. The congressional battle over this issue will be spirited, however, as many Republican leaders seem to be of the opinion the board ought to have this power. The reason there fore is obvious. Rediscount rates have vital influence upon business.

salary increases: providing that nc territory shall be annexed 10 a city without the consent oi a majority in said territory; making the governor the head of the state executive de- partment; making. counties instead Of towns and villages, the units for grade crossing elimination costs; authorizing counties to have more power in condemning land for pub lie improvements; road improve ments.
 The proposed amendment to the city charter of New York C4tv would permit the city to incur a debt or $500, o,0o0,000 outside the debt limit, this for rapid transit construction. IL IS believed this will pass, as the city has an unsuitable appetite for more subways.
 On all os these things. it Is as sumed the voters Of New York are studious aN well informed. Per haps not, howeyer. Anyway, they have the advice of the political leaders to 20 by, and Governor Smith himself will make speeches.

A GIANT POWER PLANT

References 10 the Conowingo pow CT plant on the Susquehanna river at the Maryland Pennsylvania state line, have found their way into New England papers along with the story that the Philadelphia Electric Co, which is building the plant is being combined with the United Gas I'm provement Go. What is of more than ordinary interest In connection with the Conowingo plant Is that when it is completed it will be surpassed only by Niagara Falls in power pro- ductivity.
 IL is enterprise that creates such monster power plant-the same kind Of enterprise which has stimulated the power companies to grow into the large industrial monsters they happen to be. The |. G. |, for in stance, which through the P. E. Go. will control the ConoWingo plant. has it's ramifications in 2S states, it is now stated, and the book assets of the two corporations will stand in excess of s350, 100000. But the in terests of the companies in the 2S states, through ownership, control, lease or investment will total more than sl,o00, 0,O00,o00.
 These huge power combines are being formed while no one is paying much attention 10 the possibilities. Congress will begin trying it's hand at regulating them after all the. mergers are completed, Needless 10 add, perhaps, the Mellon interests are strongly identified with the pow CT interests.

Turning back a scant half dozen years 10 the inception o' radio broadcasting 1t Is admitted that the sending of programs out over the ether was done 10 stimulate the sale of receiving sets and the acces- sories which go into homemade sets. The sudden popularity of radio how ever, made broadcastins quickly out grow this. Today great many of the more popular programs 10 which the average radio fan looks forward with interest are offered through the courtesy" Of such and such q company. This obviously means that such and such company has some thing 10 sell the public and through the mixing Of advertising with the program the public wants it is com- polling the public to listen 10 its propa ganda. Turning 10 the financial side again, 1t is no secret that the hroadcastng companies charge good sizeable fee, increased in pro- portion if the program is sent over network of stations" and on top Of this fee, the company also must pay the performing artists
 This money must come from somewhere and the company Is hardly likely 10 be so altruistic as 10 take It out Of the excess profits ac- count, It's the same old story, the public pays. Radio broadcasting Of course, does have it's humanitarian aspects and there are many altruistic sides 10 it which benefit the public, but that same public is hardly like ly to harbor any belief that it Is get ting something for nothing.

FJNDA>fENTALIST PRINCIPLES

A news story :he other day brought out that fundamentalists Tn the south had contrived to get an endowment Of 3, million dollars for ropaganda purposes and that every etate in the union would feel the in- fluence of their activities. Recently It was declared that two long -estab- hshed educational institutions in the middle west had been purchased by fundamentalists. These colleges are the William Jewell college at Liber- tv, Mo, founded in 1S4S, and Des Noines university at Des Moines, Ia.
 This is a free country and any body with the price can be active in any cause deemed worthy Of effort. There is little possibility that the ,undamenta!ists as such, however, will seriously upset the current ideals of education in the vast majority of institutions Of learning. Scientific re- search goes on regardless, and gen. eraI knowledge of the results re- ceive wide dissemination. The scien- tific body which met in England g week or SO ago, for instance, receved worldwide attention and every daily newspaper in America published the news stories of the event. No funda- mentalist gathering so far IS we are aware ever was subject to similar in tercst.
 The fundamentalists are not only in q minority but they are confront ed with well nigh insuperable ob- staclcs. They do not represent reli- eious bodies as a whole, because most such organization will have nothing officially to do with a fun damentalist- science controversy. Most scientists, indeed, are identified with some religious organization and seem to find as little difficulty as the average communlcant in reconciline science with religion. It is logical, therefore, to regard the fundamentalists as radical on the subject.

GOVERNMENT COSTS AND INHERITANCE TANES

Repeal Of the federal inheritance tax on the ground it is an emergency tax and the emergency no longer eX- ists. is widespread Senator Borah's $ claim thatthe emergency still exists, therefore. and for this reason he is opposed 10 repeal Of the tax, will receive considerable attention
 The na tional debt growing out Of the war still is around s19.00o. o.ooo,- 0oo. and upon il the annual interest charges are about s75o,O0o, ,Goo. Senator Borah considers such figures as indicating an emergency still exists as 10 the need for taxation.
 Ordinary disbursements of the government in 1914 were a little more than s7o0, ,ooo,o ,o0o annually and at the time this was regarded as an extrayagant sum. The ordinary disbursements Of the government last year, dospitr all that so-Callcd Coolidge economy could do for the country, were in excess Of s3,50N,- eno.ooo Nine years after the war, with heroic endeavors 10 reduce eX- pensos in the background, they arc still five times what they were in 1914 This naturally looks like an emergency 10 tho senator,
 But that isn't alI There ara ror- tain expensive undertakings ahead. which are very much in the nature Of emergencies. Tho farm relief plans one reads about. and which giy@ promise of coming 10 a head soon. wi.l cntail large expenditure, which some estimate at E%0o.onn.- ooo; flood reIIas is expected to cost nearly Sa0o000,o0o; tho Boulder dam, or Colorado basin affair, will cost around S125,oon,60o.
 Senator Borlh goes q bit further when hc forecasts that inheritance taxes will not bo repealed this win fer. He says this in the face Of hard facts" which canno, be dodsed.

YALE TEAM HAS
 FIRST GAME TODAY
Meets BoWdoin in New Haven
 This Afternoon

With uncertainties besetting 1t from all sides, Yale this afternoon will open it's football season with the most problematical outlook since Tad" Jones took over the duties of coaching the Blue elevens. Today's game should result in a victory and be little more than a test of the players relative merits, although Bowdoin held a strong Massachu- setts Aggies eleven to tie last Saturday. But Yale's chances against the Army, Dartmouth, Princeton, Brown and Harvard de- pend upon the welding of new team to fill the gaps left by nu- merous graduations.
 Captain Phil Bunnell is gone. but in his place there is the dlminutlVe Switz, who ran the team during the greater part of the Harvard game last year and has shown himself both a good general and an eX- ccllent all-around player. Hoben. halfback, is also being groomed for a quarterback berth. Decker, an other quarter. has been shifted to fullback Bruce Caldwell, whose in jury in the Dartmouth game last year dealt a death blow to Yale's hopes, is again available and will start at half, with Cox the probable man opposite him. Foote and Good win, pair of line plungUs and
 
 among the other prominent candi- dates for the b." ii Id, all of whom should get into action today.
 Dwight Fishwick and Scott will give Yale pair of veterans on the ends of the line, something it did not have in 1926. Quarter, another veteran, will handle one tackles named Louis I.add who stands six feet six inches has come rapidly for ward during the week and may start on the other side. Captain Webster and Kell are the probable guards. with Ryan at center host Of other linemen are available if any of these falter.
 Only four of these men can really be said to have played regularly last year, although all the backfield men were used by Coach Jones for at least fair sized portions of most Of the games. The development of more stable and regularly playing team than in 1926 or the sudden blooming of real star or two ap- pear to be the only paths by which Yale may hope to climb back to Its long-vanished championship calber.
