THE SMITH VISIT

New Britain yesterday had an op- portunity to bs on the political map in . manner desired by all cities dur ing . political campaign. Governor Smiths visit. although 1t was short. was m opportunity for hugo turn out. Thousands of citizens obtained a look It the presidential candidate and the brown derby; and the thrill and enthusiasm that inevitably went with the event will do the local Smith hosts no harm and much good.
 New Britain was not too small and insignificant 8 place for the candi- date to visit. As his train rolled into the city the frenzied populace, arous- ed to a hgh pitch of election excite ment engulfed the candidate. On both sides of the tracks was a back ground of factories, and If the gov ernor had any time for noting such thinRs during the excitement he no doubt realized at a glance that this was one of the most typical of New England industrial cities, the sort which in normal campaigns are usually overwhelmingly Republi- can. Doubtless he got the impress sion during his short visit, however. that there are plenty of Democrats hereabouts this year. And if 50, he made no mistake.

DUMPS

 Dumps being necessary. both as g means of getting rid of useless material and raising land to the higher level of surrounding property. it is essential that such work be done in the quickest possible time. II all the city's dump material were concentrated upon ono dump at . time 1t would not take long to raiss the land to the desired height. It is possible. of course. that some land has been used for dumping pur- poses where 1t was not entirely necessary. In such cases the sur rounding property owners have a right to complain on the score that no unnecessary nuisance should be allowed in the city.

PAVING IN PLAlNVILLE

Plainville is justified in congratu- latins itself upon the, prospect of having Woodford avenue paved. Tho way to do . thing is to do 1t, runa the old edage. and that's what ia happening in Plainville.
 Woodford avenue is the street that runs in front of the Standard Steel Co.,. and is traversed by the trolley cars. It has been full of holes for long time.
 Plainville's officials are inclined to be as economical as those of any other town: but when the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing Co. and the Standard Steel & Bearings, Inc, agree to pay for one-third of the cost of the improvement Plainvilie could not hold back. It is a good bargain. The factory managements are to be congratulated upon their public spirit.

MONEY OWED THE CITY

Uncollected sewer, sidewalk and sewer assessments in this city, 1t is said, total t10O,00O. It is asto onishing to find that the city has been 70 delinquent in collecting money that is due. It must be the result of . penny wise. pound foolish policy which does not employ sufficient help to do the collecting. The problem of getting this money squarely con- fronts the Board of Public Works, and it is significant that the first way to achieve this purpose thought Of is a new system of bookkeeping whereby the board can tell who real. ly owes the money.
 One pauses to reflect that when the time arrives for the collection of personal taxes. namely e2 from all men and women in the city ex- cept those freed of this duty by law, there is never much talk about some of the personal taxes being "uncoi- lectable.' Stories appear in the news- papers refiecting the opinion of on. cials that those who do not pony up the desired $2 will find them- selves in jail. and if it is necessary to hale them to court about it court costs will be added. Even the notices sent out when the personal taxes are due take care to specify that the money is demanded and failure to pay will lead to dire results.
 We never heard of threats of this kind made on notices relating to property taxes. These are sent out like bills coming from a business house and if not paid on time ii seems nothing much occurs. The ad. mission that $1OO,00O is due the Board of Public Works in back assessments proves quite conclusive. ly that assessments for property i'm. provement have not been taken as seriously by the city or the property owners as the picayune personal taxes have been taken by the city and the public.

SOMETHING TANGIBLE

The closing days of the campaign are likely to see some of the earlier issues sidetracked. If MT. Hoover, deigns to make some sort of reply to Alfred Smith on the power ques- ton that possibly will become a paramount issue in large part of the country. although not necessarily in the East.
 MT. Hoover brought about this turn of events when he called Smiths power control plan "social- istic." It was the kind of opening the New York governor was looking for. and found him quite at home in replying to it. needing only to draw upon his experiences with the desig- nation in New York state. It also had the effect of alternating Senator Norris. perhaps the nations leading exponent of the Smith plan for power control. With this comes the threat that Senator Norris will in- fluence the 5,0OO,O00 Progressive voters of 1924 to accompany him into tho Smith camp. This "break" in the campaign is decidedly for Smith.
 The power issue is tangible is- sue to millions of citizens. It is some- thing they can understand rather easily. A majority in both the Sen ate and the House voted for a plan respecting Muscle Shoals which parallels the Smith plan: the plan
 is popular in the South and West. The public for months has been edu- cated regarding the power situation as result of the hearings held be- fore the Federal Trade Commission. The nation has been propagandized on this isue as with nothing else. The most charitable view to take is that wise public looks upon the efforts of the power lobby and the power trust with deep suspicion.
 The power problem has been de- veloping into . major issue. It is gathering momentum. It represents the last natural resource. The que,- ton is whether the nation will give away this resource or follow the be. nests of such leaders as Smith and Norris.
