Chr. N8rager Dead.
Christian F. Norager, for many
years prominent among the Danes in
Chicago, died few days ago, Sc
years old. He was born in Copenha-
gen and came to Chicago as a young
man, establishing tailor shop which
became we'll known. During the war
he settled in Russia and the Baltic
countries where he amassed fortune
which collapsed, however, when the
deflation of the Russian and the Ger
man currency set in. Mr. Norager
then returned to Chicago where he
conducted a small hotel.
Went to Mexico.
DR.. Frans Blom, a native of Sweden
who is professor of archaeology at the
university in New Orleans, has left
for Mexico where he will pursue
anthrOpological studies among various
Indian tribes. His special aim is to
compare the anatomy of Mexican In
dams with that of skeletons found
in the United States in order to estab-
lish racial and other connections be-
tween the races north and south of
the Rio Grande-or to disprove the
theory that such connection exists
Danish BrOadcaSting.
The WBBC radio station in Brook
Ign, N. Y, is contemplating present
ing a series of Danish programs, one
each week, for an indefinite period;
the station is owned and managed by
the Brooklyn Broadcasting Corpora
ton and is now making an effort to
ascertain to what extent Danes in
Greater New York are likely to be-
come interested in the project. The
proposed schedule calls for one hours
entertainment at the time, and will
comprise, chiefly, musical features.
IAN Enemy of the People,.
The League of Nations Nonpartisan
Association in New York is planning

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
late war president, has been invited
as guest of honor. The play selected
for that evenings performance is

its rights, not because they have any
antagonism toward tariff revision it
self, but refuse to relinquish its pero-

Legislators in Washington have an
easy life would revise their opinion
if they were permitted to change pla-
ces. The average legislator puts in
full day on official business. Of
course, there are exceptions. While
some House members may challenge
the statement it is generally conceded
that Senators, especially those hav-
ing important committee assignments
work harder than those in the House
of Representatives and keep longer
hours. 1t may be explained partly by
the fact that Representative speaks
for only portion of the state, aver
aging two hundred and twenty five
thousand inhabitants, while the two
Senators from that state represent the
entire population. In addition, a
Senator serves on more committees
and his presence is more frequently
required on the floor of the Senate.
The quibbling over naval arma-
ments which has aroused interest in
the various foreign offices has been
confined to the Senate and House
Naval Affairs committees. The gath
ering storm of criticism has been
noted and is expected to break when
appropriations carrying out the re-
concentrations of the President for a
large building program for battle
ships and other fighting ships are re-
ported. The Diplomatic Corps which
has Naval experts attached to its
staff are keeping their fingers on the
pulse of American public opinion, be-
cause the governments of the world
are greatly interested in this nations
plans for defense and offense as a
sea power.
The peace which was established
at the last Congress by the creation
of a temporary radio commission is
now at an end. Under the surface of
affairs in Washington a bitter con-
trOversy has arisen over governmental
participation in the radio field. A
number of independent radio manufac-
turers have banded together for the
purpose of defeating legislation which
might react to the benefit of the So
called radio combine" as the larger
group is sometimes called. The ra-
dio has passed beyond the expert
mental stage and is coming rapidly
the fore as an established business.
Like all other forms of commerce the
warning groups are striving for a
firm foot hold in order to compete
among themselves. The Radio Com
mission, which goes out of existence
automatically on March Is, has the
power of life and death over broad
casting concerns so that its future
and its personnel are watched with
the keenest interest by all parties.

schools are provided regardless of the cost. while the city is left to drift along with poor streets if it prefers them. The same rule holds good with other civic functions. We can save money by doing without essential l improvements; we can continually save money and get as far behind the times as we please. This is our funeral and we don't even need to go to the expense of hiring an under- taker. But ill the school situation the state has guarded against any such supreme economy. The schools will be put on modern basis in spite of the economy elsewhere practiced. In the long run 1t Is the best way.
 It is rather difficult to recall any large civic undertaking upon which a charge of waste could not be hung. This comes as natural as fault-find- ing generally. On the whole, pos sibility of waste in the renaissance of the New Britain school plant. dol- lar for dollar. probably will be no greater than the waste in any of the city departments. from the lowest to the highest. There seems to be a certain amount of waste: lost mo- tion-and even friction-in every city department. If the Council can eliminate some of these disturbing factors and thereby reduce the esti- mated tax rate a mill or so, the job will be one well done.
 Chairman Hall of the board. of finance and taxation cannot be charged with wasteful proclivities. If anything. he leans backward in the other direction. He continually reminds us of a Vermont farmer haggling over the price of oyeralis at the country store. He is made that way, and it is good trait in a man having charge of civic finances. If there has been enough waste in school construction to notice with magnifying glass he probably would have hit the ceiling long before this. If the Council. however can do any better, the eemaphore yields the right of way to go ahead at full speed.
 We rather like this inclination in the Common Council. It may lead nowhere in particular, and then again. it may. Civic servants can- not be too particular as to where the money goes. We hope the spasm isn't temporary, however. If there is going to be civic economy in fact as well as in theory a similar degree of watchfulness is needed all year round.

uNEARNED INCREMENT AND UTILITIES

Utilities have no right to take profits on unearned increment, says Henry C. Attwill. commissioner of public utilities in Massa chusetts.
 The people. he says, have given them extraordinary rights-fran- chises, the privilege of exercising monopolies. They are unlike other business enterprises as they are shielded from competition. What is more logical than the claim they must not operate on the principle of all the traffic will bear?
 MT. Attwill is hot under the collar. He says the public utilities of Mas sachusetta are actuated by greed, that they have to be curbed or pass to public control This also seems logical.
 Yet the principle under which the utilities are trying to operate. the basis upon which they are attempt ing to make charges, are bound LID inextricably with unearned incre- Dlent. They point to court decisions which say they are entitled to eight per cent return. But on whato The utilities would have it the return should be based upon the "valIe" of the property; not the investment. but the cost of reproduction.
 Final decision about this point is yet to he made. The principle was upheld in the case of tho Indian apolis water company case: if was upset in the Ot'allan railroad case,
 Fancy what railroad rates would be if the railroads were allowed to chargs rates based on reproduction costs"
 Coming closer 10 homn, fancy what the rates for water in New Britain would be if the water com nissioners were allowed to charge rates based on the cost of reproduc- ing the city water supply systcm?.

MORE ON ECONOMY

Economy seems to be one of those things that receives lot of atten. tion but is as remote as the nearest star.
 Take Coolidge economy, for in- stance.
 The total actual expenditures of the government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924 (the first year under President Coolidge) were s4.o7s,G26.493.
 The total expenditures estimated for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1928 are s4,331,s14,2s5; an increase of s252,1s7,791.
 And in considering this increase it should be realized that the gov ernment is paying s2.0.so2.s12 less in interest on the public debt than in 1924, and $7.ooo, 900 less in pen sionS.
 Of course, these figures were brought to light by one of the naw- sty Democrats who are always look ing for trouble. He was Representa- tive Byrns of Tennessee. The figures were not questioned.
 Going q little further 1t is we'll to remind embattled citizens that the Harding administration inherit- ed quite a roll of assets from the Wilson inistration-money from the sale of surplus war materials, collections on loans to railroads. back taxes on levies during the war and other sources: all amounting to the handsome figure of $3,766, ,000,- coo.
 We never did take much stock in this economy talk. And that's that.
