"NOT A CANDIDATF.'

In telling the world he is not candidate for the presidency, Gov ernor Roosevelt Of New York at least starts well. That is what many a candidate has said in the past. Three years before the nomination conven- tions such state ment means little
 The New York governor looks more important as q candidate for the presidency than he ever did be- fore.
 Before he next nominating con- Nentions, however, there is state election in New York. This takes place in 1930. If Governor Roosevelt is re- e-eleCted-he undoubte edly will be re-nominated-the way towards the presidential candidacy will he that much smoother. What he said in 1929 about not being a candidate will scarcely he remembered.

Being a manufacturer, and not western farmer, MT. Fuller does not see the necessity of shutting out Canadian farm products in order to raise the price of American farm produce to American consumers. That is the chief object of tariff aid for the farmers" Unfortunately. the farmers. admitting the impeach- ment, point to the fact that the tar if on manufactured articles works the same way.
 That the tariff should equalizc the difference between labor costs at home and abroad, as Mir. Fuller con- tends, reads like a leaf from Mckin- ley's days. Times at least have changed. American mass production methods involving an ever increas- ing use of machinery, have put

ALFRED FULLER ON THE.
 TARIFF

When Alfred Fuller of Hartford, head of the Fuller Brush Company, was in Halifax recently he gave fel- low Rotarians in the Nova SCotian metropolis some views on the pro- posed tariff measure which will bear analysis in the state where his con- cern functions. Mir. Fuller, quoted in the Halifax Herald, doubted whether the Hawley tariff bill would pass. and if it did he was of the opinion it would be vetoed by President Hoover.
 MT, Fuller made four propositions: 1. There is no economic reason for a tariff wall between the United States and Canada.
 ?. A tariff should equalize the diff ference between labor costs between the United States and foreign coun- tries, leaving the inference it should go no further-or be no higher
 3. He believed American manu- lecturers can compete with other countries having the sa me labor con- ditions, or conditions equalzed by tariff adjustment
 4. He favored the formation of an i arbitration committee 10 ad just | tariffs between the United States and l Canada.

Provocative indeed is the state mrnt that there IS no economic req son for q tariff between inc United States and Canada. This surely must mean that Mr Fuller thinks the people of Canada are as prosperous as in the United State, that there IS no serious diversity in wages. and mat neither Canada nor the United States needs the production of a tariff wall. There seems to be a na- ton whose competition we do not need to fear.

THE EFFECT OF DETOURS'

Several years ago. when West Main street was being paved. traffic was detoured out Lake street. Which did not do the pavement in Lake street much good. Indeed. by the time the detouring was over it was something of sight.
 At this time there is large volume of traffic being detoured along Myrtle street and along Bur ritt street to West Main street-this while the Black Rock bridge is un- | der reconstruction; similarly traffic | IS being detoured along Black Rock avenue and Corbin avenue.
 These detour streets are more or less improved, and after a week ot detouring their surface is oily and shiny. That is the criterion of heavy traffic on road. the result of much rubber rolling along it, mixed with z little oil now and then.
 One wonders how the pavement! on these streets will look by the tim, the bridge is completed. They 6 least are being thoroughly tested.
