ATTRACTING SETTLERS TO
 CANADA

1 Canada remains Vitally interested ! in attracting settlers willing to oc-
 cupy it's vast area or virgin farm 1 lands. The Dominion has had a re- ! markable diversity of experience in ! obtaining families from abroad to
 carry out this process, and success
 has not been uniform. British im- migrants are preferred. but it has
 been learned that the type of British , immigrant going to Canada usually 1 has been raised in manufacturing towns and is not fitted for farming. It is useless to place a factory man
 on a farm; he migrates 10 the city
 at the first opportunity, Canada is
 not looking for emigrants who in tend to settle in the cities. It already has several large cities and a large galaxy of small cities. What it wants and must have are settlers who will
 remain content on the farms.
 Consider it's experience with the Doukhobors, for instance. Here was a sect that came from Russia and it's
 members were good farmers. But the
 sect had certain ideas that could not
 fit in with civilized society. The chief bone of contention was that its
 members insisted on dispensing with 1 clothes, in spite of the climate. The | ukhobors proved to Canadians that man could harden himself to withstand much chilly weather with nothing more protecting him than a tanned skin.
 Canada is not through eXperi- menting with Russians. however, People from the cold northern fringe of Russia, who are not members Of any sect which insists on going about naked, would not find the climate of the northern part of Canada any thing but agreeable. Consequently 5000 Of them are en route; and despite the fact that they are penni- less and devoid of goods-thcse hav- ing been taken from them by the Russian government ohicials-the Canadian government will pay their passage and provide them with farms and implements gratis. Every farmer in Canada is worth so much to the nation, according to we'll authenticated statistics; and the first cost to the government of ob- taining 5000 "real dirt farmers is a mere bagatelle to the ultimate gains. These 5000 are not actually Russians, however. their forbcars having been Germans who cmigrated to Russia during the reign of Cath erine the Great, Most important ot all. they believe in wearing clothes. Canada is through experimenting with the clothcslcss variety.

AN EAST END PARK

There is no sound reason for any one in the Common Council to op- pose the establishment of the pro- nosed park in the East End, at the end ct Jubilee street. True, the plot consists of only seven acres, but for the purposes in Niew-tho iaylng out of baseball diamond, tennis courts etc.,-thc acreage is sufti- cient. It is notable, too, that Alder man J. G. Johnson and Walter Falh. who have been students of economy of late, are in favor Of the plan. Councilman Slblotsky. the other member of the special committee, of course would have favored such a park anyhow.
 The underlying idea behind the velopment is that the city should not allow it's park resources to become one-sidcd. This has happened in plenty of cities with good parks all in one or two parts of the city, the other sections being left minus.
 In this age of many automobiles on all streets it is particularly neces- . sary that growing youth has a -ehance to play in safety. In the 1~'good old days" the streets were ~good enough, and a game of base ball on almost any outlying street was rarely disturbed by horse and wagon or a rubber-tired buggy. To- day every street is blocked to whole- some play because of the rapidly moving, often Careening. automobiles that make an appearance every few :, moments. Parks. therefore, are moro necessary than ever before.
 Wf"N parents know their young are 'ay in a city park they have the knowledge the youngsters are comparatively safe. The East End park idea, therefore. deserves to suc- .ceed, and that promptly.

LITTLE AUTOMOBILES

An automobile which is only Il inches long, climbs hills without diff ficulty. can travel 45 miles an hour, and which uses but a small quantity ot gasoline 10 propel itself. has been built in this city. There have been reports lately Of other small cars, and the pictures of some of them have appeared in the public prints This business Of reducing the size of automobiles bodes no good for the established automobile industry and the gasoline business, but promises much for cities and towns which have been sorely pressed with auto mobile congestion. Automobil which take up less space would help to solve the congestion problems unless the lower price of such cars Immediately would result in every member of every family rolling around in one.
 The average automobile takes up a good part of street space; and when occupied by only one person, as fre- quently happens the result is de- plorable to harassed officials who are faced with the necessity of pro- viding the space for the big ma, chimes.
 But where q family can afford to own one car costing the average price, the same family in all proba- bility would be willing 10 own two or three of the "buglike" cars cost ing say se0O. It may yet be neces- sary fo widen more streets

The best market Tor gold bricks. we now are informed, comprises those firms who contributed their names and pelf to the lobby organi- cations which last year were said to have collected nearly s250.0o0 and paid out half of the money to the collectors. Among the organi- cations whict contributed arc some of the best known in the country.
 The only explanation that comes handy is that they gave the money in order to get rid Of the collectors. Some of them probably have rtgns on the door reading: No pcddlcrs admitted"

LOCAL FINANCE INFORMATION

II is remarkable thing that nine out Of ten persons interested in the stock market are better informed re- garding the performances and pros poets Of the nations leading indus- tries than they arc regarding the in- dustries in their own city.
 This is not unique in New Britain, but holds good for most cities of it's size. The average citizen with money to invest usually is thoroughly ac- quainted with all that is written and spoken regarding Bethlehem Steel L. s. Steel General Motors and all the other top -notchcrs of industrial life. Few are similarly advised re- garding the financial affairs of their local industries.
 This no doubt is due to the fact that the nations big corporations gain an enormous total of publicity in the financial columns Of the pub lie prints. They receive extraordinary attention, too. in the statistical books and pamphlets issued by large brokerage firms.
 The security market In Hartford. where local securities are listed. is not far distant; yet it is safe to say that of every ten financial observers in New Britain, nine steadily have their eyes on the figures emanating from New York. This is not exactly a wholesome situation. But there is no apparent way to change a condi- ton that has developed through the years.

TAXPAYERS AND POLITICS

The taxpayers association, look ing forward 10 an opportunity to be an influence in the policies of the fu- ture mayoralty candidates, wisely has decided not to put an independ- ent ticket in the field, according to spokesmen for the association.
 An independent taxpayers ticket would not get far in politics. It would bc too much in the nature of q landlords ticket; and there are considerably more renters than landlords in the city.
 The renters have not been taken into account so far. Every ono oc them IS paying taNes-through the landlords. Without the renters the landlords would be unable to pay taxes at all on the tenemcnts they may own. The landlords, although being the direct taxpayers. merely handle the money they get from their renters and hand it to the city. No one escapes paying taxes. The renter pays it when he pays his rent to the landlord.
 It is remarkable, therefore, that the renters are not taken into con- sideration at all in this taxpaying agitation. They have the votes and if it could be proved 10 them that rents como down when taxes are re duced they might be Of considerable aid. Otherwise they are likely to re- gard tle landlords as merely en- deavoring 10 work for their own benefit. Any such opinion, if widely held, would make the taxpayers as sociation Of no great moment in local
 politics.
 Ii IS doubtful whether the taxpay- ing issue will he very potent next spring any way; or at least not more potent than in other years. There al- ways has been desire 10 reduce the tax r&,e and keep down the grand list Not soul has ever cared about paying cent more in taxes than he had 10 do. Politicians always have been free 10 make promises before an election. If in 1880 an actual per formancc follows the usual promises il Will be most remarkable year.

NO RADIO PROPERTY RIGHTS

The attempt of radio broadcasters to regard themselves as having property rights which cannot be talk cn from them without due process of tlaw-in other words, that they can not be curbed without such action being contrary to the Constitution was neatly parried in the Court of Appeals Of the District of Columbia, when WNYC, the municipal station of New York City, relied upon the property right argument in it's at tempt to gain full time on the air, instead Of sharing time with WMCA.
 "We do not agree with this con- tention," said the court. Tn our opinion, the interstate broadcasting of radio communications is a species of interstate commerce. and as such. is subject to federal regulation. It is manifest that in the performance Of this duty the commission must at times limit the operation of some Of the stations in the public interest"
 The expense of erecting a broad casting station is money thrown away if federal regulation does not permit it's use. That much is granted But the regulation of interstate com merce in the interest of the public demands that such investment can- not be considered as a determining factor in the right to broadcast, That is a right that can only come from the government. The attempt Of broadcasters to weaken federal regulation would speedily result in such chaos on the air that nobody's broadcastinS station would be worth much,

PLANS TOR THE PARKS

Except when there is football game in progress in one of them, the city parks are not crowded at this time of the year. It has often hap pened, also, that little thought was given to the parks during the chilly or cold monhs. Most of the planning in the past has taken place in the early spring.
 . It is gratifying to learn, therefore that plans for parks are being con- sidered at present. After all, to plan well ahead in the case of park lm- movements is just as advisable as in any other civic endeavors.

HEROIC MEASURES

 The Etiquette Authority was all upset. To his jaundicel eye the entire world was wrong. He was troubled with insomnia; food dis agreed with him: the wife of his bosom had left him with the warn ing that she would not return un- til his disposition improved.
 Something radical had to be done, he realized. He sought the advce of an eminent specialist.

 "I certainly do, my boy. Cast aside everything. To put it crudely be a regular devil.'
 With maniacal scream, the Etiquette Authority rushed from the specialists office. Directly across the street gleamed the bright lights of a fashiona ble rest. aurant.
