POLITICS IN POLAND

The three minute uproar in the Polish parliament yesterday, follow ing Its dissolving by executive decree, is blamed upon opposition to the dic- tatorial powers wielded by Marshal Pilsudski, the premier.
 The action will temporarily retain the present administration in power. In three months new elections will be held, this according to the con- stitution. As the opposition to the government has steadily increased, and gives promise of increasing until the date Of the elections. a political overthrow, or landslide, is in pros pect.
 Meanwhile that all-important part of every government, the budget, re mains unacted upon. The right to dissolve parliament usually plays into the hands of super politicians in such nations where this ancient pre- rogative is deemed worthy of re teution.

EDUCATION IN REMINGTON

Indications are that Newington, pursuant to its steady growth and the constantly increasing demands being made upon it's educational fla cilities, will be forced to construct a new unit to the junior high school. This will cost the town s85,0OO, and should not be a source of worry to its taxpayers.
 The movement originating in New Britain recently to discontinue ac- cepting high school pupils from the surrounding towns in the New Brit ain institution happily was not found necessary to put into effect at this time. No one can tell, however. what will be necessary in the future if present housing conditions at the senior high school continues It would be a hardship to the sur ict4'biIS toNiS lO IOiCt lutIll iO construct senior high schools of their own by refusing to accept any more pupils from these places in the New Britain high, and there is something 10 be said in favor of a large school having some advantages over q small one.At present in such towns where there are no high schools attendance at the New Britain high costs the towns s5 per pupil, which seems a fair rate and is less costly to the towns.
 In the case of Newington, however, with 5000 population, and new junior high school building being planned, the crop of senior high aspirant5 may become so large in the near future that it may be moro economical for the town to provide it's own high school building. Plenty of towns much smaller than New ington have thcm-football teams an all.

WHAT TAXES NEED REDUCTIONp

Varying viewpoints which have come 10 the surface since Secretary Mellon made his tax reduction plan public Aadicates once again how far removed the business and commer- cial interests of the country are in comparison with the agricultural element.
 Whereas the commercial section wants a considerably larger tax slash than Secretary Mellon favors. spokesmen for the American Farm Bureau Federation have gone on record as opposing any tax reduc- ton whatever, favoring instead re- duction of s1,000, 100000 d year from the public debt.
 Those who don't belong to the Farm Bureau federation won't agree with this extreme view; yet there is this to be said about it: If it is Creditable for states to do all in their power to eliminate their state debts as some of them have done and which Connecticut has done in theory and nearly in practice-then it is equally admirable in the federal government to slash the federal debt to the vanishing point.
 Nothing much is said about the similarity between state and federal aims in this respect, however: and indeed we nearly feel like apologizing for mentioning it. We might go a bit further and add that the same inter- eets in Connecticut who do not think the Mellon tax slash is big enough usually are on the side of enough taxes in onnecticut-special taxes, Of course-to attain the end of pay as you go.'
 We are not members of the Farm Bureau federation and it's influence in this city is strictly nil. The num- Der of extreme tax slash advocates may be large hcreabouts, but even that should not prevent looking at the view through normal glasses and considering it with an unprejudiced mind.
 Somewhere between the extreme view of the farm bloc and the ex- treme view of the other side must be the compromise that will be &C., cepted,

Rubber Bootlegers
 Upset Steenson Act

London, Nov. 4-IPt-Rubber smuggling is believed by experts in Mincing Lane to be rsponsible for unexpectedly large shipments of rubber from British Mlaya during August. At least 1,oo0tons more rubber were exported thu should have been under the Ste4nson Linn ttation Act of the government.
 Plans to prevent this hotlegging of rubber are under consderation It is likely that export coupons will be limited to the three mnths for which the credits are granta.
 At present, estates with unused coupons may export in eXces of the quota in force by using the carried over credits. This is declared con- fuse the market and makes diff cult to detect the dealers w!o are not living up to government rGuire- ments.

\ POLLUTED STREAM

That the claims about stream pol lution are not overdrawn has been proven near Meridcn, where the Meriden Sportsmen's association got riled over the condition of the Quinnipiac river. Said river was pol luted by factory wastes, and the sportsmen discovered that hundreds of dead fish flowed in it's waters. Some farmers nearby said they pre- vented their cattle from drinking in in the water in order to avoid the beasts from being poisoned.
 Yet the Quinnipiac is regarded as the mother stream Of some of the best trout brooks in it's section. The sportsmen's association naturally complained to the State Board of Fisheries and Game, which resulted in a representative making an in vestigation and finding all facts as represented.
 Now something is going to be done about it. How much remains to be seen.
 Citizens of the state arc beginning to realize that the streams are pub lie property and are not to be de spoiled by anyone finding it con- Senient to do so. There is no moro logic in permitting q stream to be polluted by some private interests than there is in permitting q high way to be ruined by anyone with q pick and the energy 10 use it.

 It would be a good idea to install more aisles of safety for pedestrians about the center. not only at the park, but also at the crossing in front of the John A. Andrews build ing. At this crossing there is never a time when pedestrians may cross the street without having to be on the alert for traffic from some di- rection. since when the north and south traffic is stopped the traffic from Arch street and Walnut street and from Chestnut street is swinging In. Ii there was an aisle of safety established here. a pedestrian, caught in the traffic, might more easily await his chance of crossing in safety.

If that is done it may be possible to extrcate himself or at least to escape suffocation until as sistance arrives.

MORE TRAFFIC SUGGESTIONS
 FOR NEW BRITAIN

New Britain has made admira ble progress in it's regulation of traffic, but there still is much that may be done and one of the first things to be recommended is that the police be bit more energetic in compelling motorists to observe the red and yellow lights. In most cities, the yellow light is used for warning pedestrians not already crossing a street not to attempt to do so; to give those part way across q chance 10 complete their crossing in safety; and to give the waiting motorist ad- vance notice that presently it will be his turn to use the roadway. In many cities the police arrest any driver who presumes to start his car and cross ethe white line while the sign is yet yellow.
 In New Britain there has been d marked tendency for some drivers to start their cars immediately the yellow light flashes. In not a few cases too, a driver has been seen to speed up his car some distance from the crossing when the light goes from green to yellow and then, while it is changing from yellow to red to flash across the street, not infre- quently actually crossing while it is red. There is no desire to impose a fine on the ordinary autoist who is in such hurry. but it does seem that if the police would stop him, possibly make him report to headauarters, or some such thing 10 inconvenience him and make him realize that the vari-colored lights mean just what they are supposed to mean
 Speaking for the pedestrians, in many cases the yellow light is the only light by which they can cross in safety. This especially is true at the South church corner and one of the crossings at Park and Elm streets, 1r such cases why not prolong the time of the yellow light bito It has been noticed that this is being done in many instances.
 Looking at the traffic problem from the viewpoint of q visitor one may start in Hartford and wonder how in the world 8 stranger is tc find his way to New Britain without stopping to inquire.
 In Hartford, there arc signs di. recting traffic 10 New Britain by any of the several routes.
 Coming into New Britain one vii find some satisfactory signs at Eas' Main street and Hartford avenue and the traffic movement from Eas Main into Main street is obvious but at the traffic tower it is not st i clear. True, on the pole at the Ma. tional bank corner there are sign! directing traffic to other cities, bu this is hardly noticeable 10 tn, stranger whose attention naturally j rivcted on the traffic light ant tower. It would be a good idea t' nave direction signs posted on tn shart upholding the tower. Visiting drivers could not help but see them The same might apply to the trafii
 post at Park and Main streets.
 Ordinarily stranger driving wcs on Church street has absolutely m means of knowing that no left turn are permitted. True. on the curl
 near the park there is q sign but l says absolutely nothing about no lief turns A notice to tho effect that n left turns are allowed could easil
 be placed on the traffic light at tn
