WHAT THE EQUALIZATION
 FEE Is ALI. ABOUT

Enbat'l"d newspa per readers and intelligent citizens generally have been hard put trying 10 understand this equalization fee which the ad- ministralion doesn't want and which the western farmers are clamoring for Numerous calls have been sent to this office to explain the operation Of the plan or what it is in the first plat ce.
 The equalization fee can be made 10 look very complicated if one Is disposed to do so, and in fact this has frequently been done with the inevitable result Of obsCuling the real meaning Of the plan. We will en- ,ieavor in this short reference to place it before readers in the most simple form possible.
 The equalization fee principle was evolved in 1922 or 1923 by George x. Peek. at that time president of tine Moline Flow con pany Of Moline. III. The plan. then. came from the mind ot manuia ctur.r, not d farm organization. although Mir. Peek's business made him vitally interested in the prosperity oi the farmers. If something radical were not done, he evidently concluded. fewer blows would be sold.
 II was ''1is plow maker who formulated the basic principles of the Nc\ary- I1auscn bill the farm bloc taking up his ideas rith much &C.,

(.fn,nccttcut Continues
 to Provide National HuMOr

If seems to be a trait of connecn- cut residents to enjoy having run poked at them.
 J. Henry Roraback and the con necticut delegation to the repuoncan national convention provihea amusement for the nation when they insisted that they were gong 10 nominate Calvin Coolidge TOT president of these United states.
 Speaking at the commencement exercises at Connecticut college on Tuesday Prof. William Starr Meyers of Princeton university poked ms thumbs in Connecticut's ribs m spirit of jocularity by referring 10 the states constitution. Teachers or political history all over America hold it up as an example ot tn' most archaic, obsolete poht'cai document still in use, he said. Which will give food for thought but not for action, to the estlmab'e gentlemen who run the legislature
 Continuing. Prof. Myers. accord- ing 10 the report of his address g'v- en out from Ine Oll-Cc ol 'i'S ~
 lege secretary, "twitted Connecticut on it's law which forbids any puphc clock to be set at daylight saNinS time and pointed out that the tune which the farmer necessarily calls Gods time was only worked out m 1878 and never recognized by any legal action until congress passed its act in the year of the war concern ing daylight saving time" It may surprise many residents to learn that what is known as standard time is not Gods tune. God had nothing to do with it. But l it will not surprise many to read
 that the nation as a whole is laugh ing at this absurd piece of legisla- lion which tries to regulate the 1 hours people shall eat, work ana play and which no one respects. J. Henry at Kansas City and d. Henry at Hartford seem to be re- sponsible for no little idiocy.

Blackmer Remains Silent
 Despite His Indictment

Paris. June 16 R-Henry N. Blackmer, missing witness in the Teapot Dome case, maintained his customary silence today in the face of the indictment handed down at Denver charging him with perjury and evasion of the income tax laws. He is living in hotel in the Champs Eiysee quarter.
 His attorneys were unperturbed by dispatches from the United States that said the extradition of their client might be sought. They as- serted they would not discuss what ! action they could take until con- fronted with the necessity of doing so.
 Some other lawyers questioned whether perjury was an extraditable offense.

Sunday Afternoon Movies Certain to Re Discussed Again

 Certain to Re Discussed Again
 Although 1t is not expected that further action will be taken for some time by motion picture theater in- terests to receive permission from the common council to open play house doors Sunday afternoons, the question is certain to come up again eventually.
 Public opinion, like liquid, seeks it's own level. Public opinion in other Connecticut communities has put the stamp of approval on earlier open ing. Whether it is for good or i'll. the majority of local residents will at some future date insist on restric- tions being lifted in this city. No increase in crime has been noted in cities which permit theaters to start their entertainments Sunday after noon. So far as is known, moral standards in those cities are equal to the moral standards in New Bri- tain.
 Opposition to the project here was expreAsed chiefly by clergymen of several denominations. Obviously they believed they were taking the proper course. It would be unfair to insinuate that the gentlemen of the cloth were actuated by other than the highest motives. But whether they represent majority opinion is another matter. The average man dislikes to appear in opposition to those from whom he accepts spirit ual guidance and for that reason, 1T for no other. few challenged the statements of the opposition when protest was made against opening theater doors earlier on Sunday.
 While nothing may be heard from the movement for some time, 1t VIII not down. It is moribund but not dead, Many conscientious residents have no objections to shows begin ning on Sunday afternoon. They are not allied in any way with the the- ater interests and are not interested in the charge that Sunday IS peihs commercialized. They would like 10 be able to go to the theater on sum day afternoon and do not beNeNe they would be violating the saopa'h. They reason that, If 1t is not wrong to attend the theater on sundas evening, 1t cannot be wrong 10 at- tend on Sunday afternoon. They are not in harmony with the spirit or puritanism which would legislate long. unsmiling face onto every hh- man rceardless of his personal pre- terences. ,
 This is a day of broad views. lhe a9e of "bluc" laws has passed lnto history.
