firm grip upon the situation the work of rehabilitation" will begin. This will cost millions. Of course, as everyone IS aware, the New Haven railroad has billions of surplus funds on hand for such a purpose!
 The Massachusetts legislature in 1928 passed enabling legislation per- hitting the railroad to acquire con- trol and manage the street railways. Three-fourths of the cities and towns in the territory served by the lines, including the two principal cities, had to approve the acquisi- tion. It did not take the railroad long to gain the approval of the towns, especially as the railroad promised to spend millions in Ire habilitating" the systems. It simply looked as if somebody was going to play very good angel, or splendid Santa Claus. Towns, like individuals, are always willing to get something for nothing.
 The railroad also had to acquire control of the ownership of all the common stock of the New England Investment & Security company, which owned all the common and voting stocks of the Springfield and Worcester railways. The railroad company entered into an agreement to obtain the stock, resulting in com plete voting control The railroad also made deal to acquire the bonds of the Springfield railway. All of this having been accomplish ed, the railroad has petitioned the public utilities department of Massa- chusetts for approval of the acquisi- tions. When it assents the railroad will be owning and operating the street railways involved.
 Why railroad should be so keen about owning and operating trolley systems has always been one of the transportation mysteries of New England. The old desire to function as a transportation monopoly still turks within the management of the railroad corporation. It would have been more advantageous for the railroad to have divested itself of all its trolley interests, even at a loss Ultimately the railroad will lose large sums through their manage ment anyway.
 A railroad should be a railroad, centering it's attention upon long dis tance transportation. The operation of busses as a supplementary service may be within its province; but the operation of trolley lines is no more within it's purview than the opera tion of taxicabs or wheelbarrows.

Ever so often stories appear in the public press regarding women who are arrested on charges of manufacturing liquor. Some of them appear to be as adept as men. Judges have shown tendency to be lenient with the fair sex, usually "suspend- ing" their fines and sentences. The judge In Ansonia, who sent a woman to jail for 30 days after she had re- peated the offense, seems to believe in equality of the sexes before the law.

in support of Dougall Meston, Liberal
candidate opposing the Countess of
Iveagh, Conservative. Mr.. Wells is
quoted as saying in his letter:
1.-THE Baldwin government is head
ing straight for war. In every con-
stituency it is the business of sane
and sensible men to vote against the
Tory as effectively as possible and put
an end of this disastrous drift toward
armament and aggression"
Mr.. Wells further explains that he
is Socialist-Laborite, but asserts that
Labor has no chance to win in South
end. although the Liberals might have
chance. Hence he urges Laborites
to vote for the Liberals.
