Electric League Secretary
Says Washington Surpasses
Other Large Cities.

Wiring for electric service In new
residences and apartment houses Is
more adequate in washington than in
any other large city in the United
States, 1t Is reported by Norman H.
Barnes, secretary of the Electric
League Of Washington.
The statement is made on the basis
of the last report of the Society for
Electrical Development, Inc, in which
is shown the total number of residential
units in various cities that have COM
piled with the red seal requirements.
The red seal award is given only on
application from owner, builder or
architect to buildings which meet
minimum specifications as to numbers
of convenience outlets (door plugs)
light outlets and switch outlets for
each room Of the home. The award is
cluded by a duly authorized repre-
sentative of the organization licensed
to operate the red seal plan, the or
ganization in Washington being the
Electric League.
In total number or red seal" homes
or apartments Washington stands third
in the United States. The five national
leaders are California CENTRE State)
2,765 red seal units; Detroit, 2,495 units;
Washington, D. c., 1875 units; Chi
cago. 1909 units, and Pittsburgh, 1,1O4
units.
On a basis Of population Washington
leads the field. There is already one
adequately wired or red seal" electrical
home for every 1858 people here, while
the nearest competition comes from
Detroit, where there is one for every
507.32 people.

cross the state. the public is not supposed to De interested in cheap bus rates if and when the railroad operates the buses and there are no independents to contend with.
 It is the independents who pro- vide rates that are substantially low CT than the railroads, not only in Connecticut and New England but In states west Of the Hudson, New York inclusive.
 Railroads are not interested in motor coach lines in order to take a hand in furnishing cheap transpor- tation 10 the public They are inter- csted for two reasons: To have a hand in controlling this new form Of transportation competition and to keep it from unduly competing with the railroad passenger rate struc- ture.
 Thus one finds that independent motor coach lines opera ting over long distance rates. This is as it should be considering the slower travelling they offer.
 The railroad idea to keep bus rates as high or nearly as high as rail- road rates is wrong in principle and wrong in economics. The slower method of transportation should al- ways cost less than the faster method.

December one of the New York papers starts a campaign for a fund to help the 100 most neediest cases of poverty in its city; and we have never known a year in which to read of these cases did not jerk tears. Unfortunately. such cases in that city run into many thousands. prob ably a greater number in propor- tion to the population than in New Britain.
 And there is the case Of Hartford. Recently the public welfare depart ment in that city, which boasts Of be- ing the richest in Connecticut and one of the richest In the country, an- nounced that 1t was suffering terrific demands and needed more funds. Just about the same time a rubber plant vas moved elsewhere and the situation was intensified Was there anything like the hullaba loo over poverty as we have read about in this city? Not for a moment; it would have been unfair and untrue to paint an entire picture in the dull drab tints applying to this small minority, the whole city considered.
 Poverty in the city, or in any city in this modern age, is deplorablc, and civilization cannot be considered in it's maximum Of glory until all poverty is eliminated. But such elimination Is not attained through sudden outbursts about it at any particular time. From the time of Christ and long before poverty had reared it's ugly head. and though there is less percentage Of poNcr- ty in the population of civilized na- tons than ever before, conditions still are far from ideal. Not for thousand years, perhaps. will every single citizen be able 10 pay his or her poll tax by return mail.
 And by the way, more conscien- tious attempts to eradicate poverty and less futile deploring of it's e1- istence might bring an earlier ma teralization Of the millennium every body wants.
 New Britain is not broke, on it's uppers, poverty stricken. or in dire straits. IL has and always has had certain proportion of poor people, like every other city. And because Of this there is no reason to shout about what nobody can help or eradicate in a manner to mis.h persons who may not pause 10 analyze conditions very carefully.
 It is very much worth while that more prosperous citizens, who are i'll the majority, do not forget the pres ence of the poor, so that they will be spurred and stimulated into assist ing them in a Christianlike manner. But let us not get a wrong impres- sion. The city as a whole is in as good a condition as. if not far su- perior to, many another city of It's class that could be mentioned.

RAILROAD BUS CONTROL
 AND THE RATES

One needs only to compare the fares of the railroad between points also served by the railroads bus subsidiary to understand why rall- roads are eager to gain bus fran chises.
 When motor coaches first came into use the railroads firmly held aloof. But suddenly a great light, as of a new sun, suddenly blazed upon the managements, and they spranS
 into action. Ii motor coaches were to be developed why permit indepen- dent enterprise to step in and pro-
 vide railroad competition? they reasoned. And most particularly,
 why allow Independent motor coach operators to cut the rates?
 If the railroad can control the
 motor coach situation there need not
 be any cutting Of rates. It was
 simple problem in elementary economies.
 Thus the New Haven railroad formed the New England Transpor- tation Company and the subsidiary immediately began 10 be in the market for bus franchises. The Pub lie Service Commission yielded a ready car. All routes not previously taken up by an Independent con- ccrn were to be had by the rail-
 roads bus subsidiary. Lines were established along routes, in fact, that no independent had thought it worth
 while 10 so after. The bus subsidiary. indeed. went so far as to parallel the railroad tracks between some points. It looked as if the railroad were willing to have bus lines compete with itself-provided the bus lines were owned by the railroad. it 1l OOl Oi lIlC Ailt
 comparison Of fares on the railroads s bus line and the railroad. In many instances the public doesn't save
 anything by travelling by bus, The fare from Hartford to New Haven costs about the same whether one
 travels by train Or bus; and the same rule holds good between other points served by both the railroad and the railroads bus subsidiary.
 This ought not 10 be. IL is unrca- sonablc that q slower trip by motor
 coach should cost as much as by | train. It is mol the case in innumcr-
 able states where independent motor coaches compete with the railroad lines. In Nutmegia however, where
 the railroad motor coaches criss-
