THE IRISH OATH

If the Dai! Eireann this week changes Its practice and fails to re- quire an oath of allegiance to the English king 1t will mean sub stantial victory for the De Valera faction. which made notable gains in the recent election.
 The scheme to abolish the oath was defeated in the Dail by vote of 47 to 17 last April; but at that time no one suspected that the Free State government was likely to meet with political reverses at the hands of the Republicans.
 As mere matter of political .ex- pediency 1t is barely possible that the matter will be settled differently this week. which at the same time will take much of the ammunition from tho oppe sition.

tax, The automobiles. 1t will be seen. have not stood an even pro- portion of the costs until in recent years.
 In the next two years. with the state spending the $3,ooo.ooo ap- propriated by the last legislature. 1t will also be able to spend more than four times that amount obtained from automobile licenses. fees. and gasoline taxation. The sum from these sources in one year amount to approximately ss.50o.oo0: in two years, $1s.ooc.ooo. There are other receipts applicable: for instance. last year there was more than s2,000, 900 due the highway fund from towns. Considering that with out any $3,Ooo,o00 appropriation last year the state managed to spend s9,676,657 on highways, it is easy to come to the conclusion that the sum to be spent on roads during the next two years will be around $11.- 900, 900 each year.
 The responsibility of the state highway department in seeing that the state gets the best possible re- turn from this huge expenditure is self-evident. Many other states re- gard the Connecticut department as a model of efficiency: We in Con- necticut are apt to find fault on ac- count of the failure to obtain im- proved highways where we think
 they are most needed. Sometimes the critics may be wrong and some- times they are right. What we need to watch with circumspection Is that returns are obtained for the states highway expenditures. Road costs are too high.

END OF AN OLD PRACTICE

One of the best laws passed by the recent Congress has received little attention. For years 1t has been the custom of the produce industry. when there was an overplus of any particular product, to destroy enough o: it to keep prices as high as possible. surreptitiousl.. the scandalous proceedings cUEt.aued. Fruit and commission houses, buy ing carload lots, kept them moving if prices justified" 1t; anything to keep them off the market. It was not uncommon to find such produce selling at or below the price of pro- duction at the farms and selling at an astonishing advance in the cities.
 The late beneficent Congress, however, eager to do something for the embattled farmers and help the harassed consumers in the cities at
 
 the same time, passed law making 1t a misdemeanor to destroy farm produce and other foodstuffs in in- terstate commerce: and the Presi- dent promptly signed the bill.
 The fruit and produce season has arrived; or at least, is near at hand. We await with interest the first at- tempt to keep prices up in the old manner, and are eager to see some of the bandits who formerly oper- ated this nefar arious method of goug- ing the public face the gruelling eyes of the federal attorneys, Reform ought to be easy under the circumstances.

About the New Linwood Street Bridge
 J,,nA 0n tQo

Editor.
 New Britain Herald.
 City.
 Dear Sir:-
 Allow me the space in the column of, your paper to ask a few ques- tions in regard to what is the trouble with the engineering and board of public works departments.
 Last Wednesday at the council meeting petitioned that the bridge under construction on Linwood street Is too small to take care of the spring floods in this section, and the report of the high salaried off cials was that this bridge. is three times larger than the old bridge, which was a false statement, don't be kicking, we ought to be satisfied in getting bridge.
 Now wish to state a few facts about this case. The Ten Acre Road bridge and the bridge on the street parallel to it has 54 square feet of opening. The stream is joined by the golf ground section brook fur ther down which goes through Cor bin avenue bridge of "A square feet, from there down to iLnwood street, about 2-3 mile, with Doerr's pond overflow additional. is this bridge of 60 square feet and no more. Just beyond about 200 feet is the Mon- roe street bridge. built about to g years ago with S5 square feet.
 I'd like to know who will pay for damages in the spring through the construction of this Linwood street bridge.
 I wish to state that I have been informed that the brook can be made wider and deeper to help this bridge, with the expenditure of $10,- 900, more or less. to be paid by the property owners in this section. Is this the way to cover up our city of fcials by increasing the taxes year after year?
 There are two other points of in-

pride ourselves upon our material welfare, upon our prosperity. upon the distribution of happiness. Prob ably the millennium will never come, or at least is far distant, when there no longer will be such instances to shake us out of our complacency. The Romain incident is no credit 10 anyone; the disposition of the case does not mean that the underlying
 difficulty has been solved: 1t IS merely an amelioration, not a cure.

FARMERS NOW SATISFIED,
 so ITS SAID

So the soil-tillers of the west are now quite satisfied with the Presi- dent for vetoing the McNary-Hau gen farm relief bill. At least. so the political wiseacres are telling us. No census. referendum or other ex- pression of general opinion has been reported; the boys who attend to the political writing for the admin istration do not require such insig- nificant details to determine how the minds of the farmers stand on this subject. They merely say so, and hence it must be true.
 How foolish the Senate was to pass the bill-by a close score. it is true, but still, the bill was passed there. eight votes to the good. And how foolish the House members were to hearken to the farmers plight by score of 214 to IFS. They lacked the courage of the President on the one hand: on the other they could not foresee that a few months later the entire west ern farming interests would realize fully that the bill was a mistake in the fjrst nIace
 One administration writer says that half the farmers are now mol lifted and satisfied; another says all of them are. With the President in the Black Hills, in the heart of the wheat belt, the situation is bright CT than it was some time ago.
 If somebody doesn't start anoth- CT Populist perty or something like it the western yeomanry can be depended upon. as usual, to vote the Republican ticket. Especially will they do this if farm prices rise a little more between now and cleo ton time. The string -pulers in Washington, aided and abetted by their financial friends in the Feder- al reserve system. should be able to help this along considerably. If the farmers get more money for their grain their minds will be fla cilitated into thinking that the equalization fee scheme was entirely unnecessary and that the President
 as usual, was right.
 Of course. We in the east know he
 was right all along. But it Is the west that we are talking about There they think differently. They regard our tariff with the same eyes We regard their farm relief
 schemes; and they rub it into us on paper--a great deal more vigor-
 ously than We mid-mannered New
 I.nglanders can bring ourselves te i do when we discuss their ideas Sectional politics, we may add, helps | to dissipate hot-weather ennui dur
 ing the dog days.
