SOAKING THE B(SIS

l D in Hartford q movement Is on foot to force bus owners to pay more tax returns for the Use Of city streets. The knowledge has gone forth that the Connecticut company. for in stance, can get around the onerous payments incident 10 the Tucker Grant by changing minor trolley lines into bus lines. A beginning has already been made. The Tucker Grant does not apply to buses.
 The movement is based upon the supposition that buses do much 10 wear out city streets and that they should be made to pay for the dam age they do. We have no doubt that buses wear out the streets, but there can be little doubt that automobiles also contribute immensely 10 the wear and tear and moreover they are vastly more numerous.
 It is also ascertainablo that such streets that are not utilized by buses but by automobiles and trucks only seem to go bad juet as quickly as the streets used by buses. There Is West Main street. for instance.
 What about the excessive wear and tear on street pdNensntr by heavy laden trucks" We see no signs in Hartford or anywhere else about a movement or agitation relative to lhe damage done by trucks This seems to be all right, the trucks not being owned by the transportation companies.

GOlitdliltu lltdE lHc tilu Ol ilt lcpOIl. Or course, this refers 10 the use of the insurance money received after the Putnam school burned. The school board explains that the money was used to complete the Benjamin Franklin school so as to make this building ready for pupils in the fall. This was a prerogatlve Of the school board and was q matter of policy. One is left to conclude that in no other way would lhe Franklin school lave been computed on time. It N ould have been better. however. if hall, had been informed of this policy. This isn't saying it was the Lest policy, Yet that may be d mat ter O. opinion; now that it ie over there is nothing left but to recon struct the Putnam school with S2o,- 000 that doesn't come from the in surancc money. The decision to usc the insurance money for the Frank l lin school rather than the Putnam also will strike citizens interested in the latter as indicating the former k considered more important Or perhaps the school board knew all along that even II the insurance money were diverted to the Frank lin school the good city would pro- vide Whatever money would b" necessary to reconstruct thy Putnam. When such d policy Is adopted, how ever, the public should be informed instead of given to understand that there would be $1o,0oo left over after the Putnam school is recon structed
 The school board, or the author Of its communlqurs, should guard against making charges Of 'mis- representations" So far as We are aware, no representations have been made about the school board, rather the school board has mis- represented itself by heretofore maintaining comparative silence about policies which basically are the public's business.
 It certainly WAS TO epresenta- quired recently about $50, ,0oo in bills that cropped up of which neither he nor other city officials knew any thing. The bills were legitimate and legal, but it surely was no mlereprc- scntation to refer 10 fact.
 It was TO misrepresentation to say that the old Lincoln school was sold for d price 10 the only bidder.
 It was no misreprcsentatlon 10 say that the Putnam school burned, the SG3,0ub insurance money was re ceiNed from the underwriters that il was announced S1o,0uO would be left over from this amount, that work ol reconstruction was stopped, that the insurance money was spent for other ends. and that s20, oU0 was then needed to complete the school. All these are facts; the policy of the school board ill these matters may have been wise or otherwise, but facts remain facts and cannot be mistaken by sane mon for nlisrepro- scntations
 Outside of his discrepancy the re- port of the school board was fair enough; there was q commcndabIe effort 10 plHC" all the cards on the table and tho public for once WAS fully taken iHLo confidence, Tn" board. in connon with all other public officials, can rest assured it e,ts q square deal in these columns

 Willard at Toledo,
 And then asserts that the only mon able 10 defeat smith are Mr. Coolidge, Charles F. Hughes or Dwight w. Morrow.
 The New York Herald-Trlbuhe tells us that the Coolidge bandwagon is being piloted by Messrs. Hllils, Butler and Roraback and protesses 10 believe a stampede for Coolidge may be engineered by these gentle men if another I-choose-not state uent is not issued from the White House.
 It is plain that another attempt IS heinz made to ditch Hoover. On the eve of the convention he Is far In the lead for delegates but probably can not attain the necessary 54o on the first ballot.
 It is natural for office holders and politicians to dislike a change In lhe head of the administration, which ln- wolves certain risks. In the case al oar they dislike Hoover too, hc- cal,se he is one of the few men ever considered for the presidency who ,iid not rise along the party route hopping from one political office to another until within jumping dls- lance of the nomination. The cabinet post is the only political post ever held by Hoover. How well he has filled it, is well known-entirely too yell known to suit the Rorabacks.
 Hooyer's greatest drawback 10 the politicians and lis greatest asset with the public is that he does not look at public questions through po- ltical glasses.
 Lastly, he ie entitled to be re- sarded highly for the political oppo- uents he has made.

DAVIS ATTACKS
SMITH ON TARIFF
Secretary of Labor Also Hits
immigration Stand of Dem
ocratic Nominee.
~ the Associated Press.

PATERSON, N. j., October 25.-As-
sorting that the single issue in the
presidential campaign is ''how can we
best maintain and increase the pros
perity in America and who Is the best
man to do it?" James j. Davis, United
States Secretary of Labor at the Pat
erson Armory last night. attacked the
policies of the Democratic party on the
tariff and immigration issues as out
lined in the speeches of Gov. Alfred
e. Smith.
The restrictive immigration law, the
Secretary said, 'is the twin sister OF
the tariff law. One law keeps out a
food of low-priced goods. the other
keeps down a flood of people willing to
come here and work for lower wages
The Secretary also questioned If Gov
Smith can, If elected, direct his party
policies, in so far as the tariff is con-
cerned.
"How can he" Secretary Davis said
"take his party with him on. the tariff
when his party refuses to follow him
on prohibition"
Mr.. Davis expressed himself as be-

people will prefer to keep in Office the
party that originated the protective
tariff" The speaker declared that a
protective tariff was necessary to safe.
guard the silk industry in Paterson, and
predicted that American people would
elect Herbert Hoover for President.
The address was made in the pres.
ence of thousands of people in the
srmory and amplifiers outside the
armory gave hundreds in the streets
an opportunity to hear, If not see, the
speaker.
Hamilton F. Kean. Republican can.
didate for the United States Senate
Morgan F. Larson, Republican candl'
date for governor, and George N. Seger
candidate for Congress in the seventh
district, were the other speakers at thu
meeting of which John McCutcheon

committee, was chairman.
