New Britain herald., 1929-12-11

Senator Schall, the Minnesota Re publican, made the astonishing statement that to his personal knowledge utility concern has been purchasing some 3oO country newspapers in his state, and that it is his opinion that eastern money is "being shot" into Minnesota 10 buy the country press. No greater threa! to the independent thinking in q state can be made, especially in 4 state that is largely rural, than the expenditure of large sums to secure control of country papers.
 The utility interests of the na- ton, brazen in their power and the eager handmaid of affiliated inter ests, have been caught before this in the promugation of questionable propa ganda through improper means. We hope the Senate coali- tionists bounce upon this new eN- crescencc with characteristic zeal and efficiency The country press in such q state needs to be saved from falling into the hands of any finan- cial wrccking crew, regardless or the public value of the propaganda espouSed.

Observations On The Weather

Washington. Dec. 1l.-~Forccast for Southern New England: Snow tonight or Thursday; slightly colder tonight; fresh to strong north and northeast winds.
 Forecast for Eastern New York: snow tonight or Thursday; slightly colder in east portion tonight; fresh, possibly strong northeast winds.
 Forecast for New Haven and vicinity Generally fair tonight and Thursday; colder tonight.
 Conditions: The strong area of high pressure noted yesterday in the Canadian northwest is attended by somewhat colder weather which is overspreading the North Atlantic states and much of the Lake region. Light snoWs prevail over portions of the Lake districts and New York state. Pressure is relatively low from the Ohio valley west and northwest ward to the North Pacific coast. Light rains prevail in the Ohio valley.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity generally fair weather with lower temperature.

THE RAILROAD VIEWPOINT

President Looms of the Lehigh Valley railroad the other day re- ccived quite a newspaper play for his statement that the public is not interested in consultations Of rail roads and that the intent ot the Transportation Act ne,d never fructfy 90 far as he is concerned.
 The Lehish Valley has a close understanding with the Pennsyl- vania. The latter road owns q good ly slice Of it's stock. Lchigh Valley passenger trains are allowed to ar rive and depart from Penn station in New York.
 When President Loomis argues against the consolidation plans it must mean that he is speaking as of one inspired by the Pennsyl- Nania mana cement. He is not likely 10 say anything that could not as NlIl Dt ulttlfI pN l It0Iu'lll NNltl . bury.
 Taken al it's face value the statement ot President I.oomis means that inc railroad combination of which his road is part would be better satisfied to have the conso'i- dation plans carried out without in torfcrence by the Interstate Com merce Commission. That would give tho aggressive lines, like the Pennsylvania, brilliant oppor- tunity To do their best, or their worst. through such holding com pany as the Pennroad Corporation.
 But the ]. C. C. happens to be on it's guard. IL isn't looking with favor | upon such schemes for control for ! those roads with the most money i and the most aggressivoncss.

RUBIO'S FRIENDLY VISIT

President-clcct Pascual Orti& Eubio Of Mexico is paying visit to the United States and at present Is in New York City. where he IS con ferring with former President Ilutarco Elias Gales. Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow, Thomas w. Lamont, and others. Among other things, it is probable that finances will be discussed. although MT, Rubio says no new financing in Mexico is needed at this time. Ever since Ambassador Morrow went over the books and arranged the Mexican budget the situation seems to bc quite satisfactory.
 President Eubio says that Mexico now is the most peaceful, safest country in the world" This state ment will come as a surprise to many. But there are some facts to back up any assertion that MeXico T, least is reasonably safe. President Rubio says he rode through isolat- ed sections during the recent elec- ton turmoil and was not moiested. and that Ambassador Morrow Colonel lindbergh and Will Rogers can testify to the general safety
 An aid to the Mexican president told a reporter that Mexico IS far safer than is life in Chicago. thai shootings are far less q matter ol rocular diet than in the windy city or some other places in the Sood old l.. S. A. Many boosters naturally overlook these of our shortcomings
 True enough, there was some fighting during the recent Mexican election. But it was Of piece Wlth that which takes place in Ken ,uclv during every election cam paign and possibly lhdu!Seu III 'E the same type of fervent gun-totlnE politicians
 It is gratifying to learn that Mexico is peaceful and safe com paratively speaking. It will have to be if the spirited campaign 10 in duce American tourists to go there is to succeed. Mexico is in the mar kct for American tourist money or large scale. holding up at least as much personal liberty and free dom as Cuba or Canada, If the tourist campaign is sue ,pssful cVcI Florida and Southern California may feel some Of the competition.

As We understand It Willow Brook can not be Improved" in any way the city secs fit without rum ming counter to the wishes of con tjguous property owners The city seems to have put through good deal in purchasing the property O. the one remaining objector to the p1an or improvement decided upon. The incident is important only i'll proving one" again that city i'm proycments have d way ot bring oi vast importance 10 nearby propcr- ty owners, who fdro" anything that promises 10 add 10 the value O. property and oppose anything tha, has d tendency 10 dcpreciute its value. Thus the city has no dIf'i- culty in having property owners join in advocating desirable nm
 proycmyuts; out lot the rity try to Ind a site for a GarDlE" dlSposa! plant or try 70 relocate sewer beds. Or put up any Of several other neces- sary adJHnc's O. municipal function. irg. and nearby popcmy owners Us. ual)y are the first 10 Dc heard from. Mention Of this in no way is T criticism Of owners Of property who with right look out for their own interests first. The city has poteu- uaHtics 10 do much good for pro. perty owners and also on occasiou can do a vast amount oi harm. The difficulty in connection wIrh Wi'lo" Brook was solved in most aI- mirable manner and satisfactory to
