ernor John S. Fisher of PennSyl-
vania, supposed to be friendly to
the Hoover candidacy. The Re-
publicans may think twice, how
ever, before taking man from the
State whose Senator-elect is now
under Senate investigation, because
of alleged excessive expenditures in
the primary.
Governor Alvan T. Fuller Of Mas
sachusetts, a stanch Hooverite, has
been talked of as a vice presidential
possibility. But many feel the part
he played in sending Sacco and
Vanzetti to the chair would be a
distinct disadvantage.

Mills Also Mentioned
Despite their apparent unavail-
ability, the G. o. P. is discussing
such men as Ogden L. Mills, under

Senator Wadsworth and Theodore
Roosevelt. There is nobody else to

INSURANCE RATES

Statements attributed to members of the National Board of Fire Un- derWriters while in the city were to the effect that they show little dis position to recommend a lower fire insurance rate in the city.
 If this is a true reflection of their opinion then it is somebody's busi- ness to discover just what they don't like about our fire fighting facii- ties and means should at once be taken to rectify them. The city has just opened new fire station in a section of the city which heretofore was a little distant from the other stations; it has been adding to It's fire equipment, adding to it's force of men. What else is there to do that the fire underwriters quibble about?
 The fact probably is that the fire underwriters don't want to reduce the rates If any possible excuse can be found to maintain them at their present level. They are in the busi- ness for all it will bear.
 The fire underwriters association reports for all the companies. This amounts to a species of monopoly. There is competition between the New England companies but not on a rate basis. We don't like the idea of the fire underwriters having the power to specify just how much We are to pay for fire protection. The inference is plain that they favor the highest possible rates rather than the lowest possible rates compatible with fair service.
 The proof of the pudding: The ultra prosperity of these fire insur- ance companies indicates clearly that they are charging more than they ought to get.

 There are many points in the state between which the existing transpor- tation could be vastly improved, both as to rates charged and time consumed in getting between the points-usually with inconvenient waits" at junction points, Transpor- tation service between some of the points in Connecticut is generation behind the times; it is so bad that large percentage of the public pre- fers to go to the trouble of getting the private automobile out of the garage. even in winter, than bother with the so- called Service" Yet un- der the policy which is a part of the legislative machinery such type of service is allowed to continue merely by shutting out any independent con- cern which gives promise of lower rates or faster service.
 The existing transportation inter ests as a result are encouraged in their present system of giving no better service than Is absolutely necessary to be in business at all, and at rates as high as the traffic will bear.
 Protection Is a fine theory-but there is such thing as protecting the public as we'll as the bloated transportation interests. This, how ever, isn't being done.

NAVAL GUNNERY

The question of naval gunnery is dgain before members of Congress- some of whom seem to think the British navy can shoot farther than Uncle Sans fleet.
 Several years ago the navy de- partment claimed the British had changed their gun mounts and in creased the range of certain vessels. Later after considerable discussion. the navy department is on record as having confessed it's error. The facts are readily available in Wash lngton and such congressmen as are under the impression things are not as they ought to be have the right to call on the navy department for all available information.
 On this question the naval editor of the Springfield Republican gave some Illuminating information:
 At the most extreme range the advantage lies today with the American fleet. There are five American battleships which outrange any British ship now in commission. On the other hand, at ranges less extreme, yet probably in excess of those at which any naval battle will be decided, the advantage is with the British fleet, our old CT battleships being in turn similarly outranged.
 Apparently some members of Congress have entertained the idea that the entire British fleet outranges the entire Amer ican fleet. Study of the Wash ington treaty strongly supports the view that the United States will be entirely within its rights if it increases the range Of the older ships"
