for money used Tn essentials of liv. ing. but Tn their use for other enter- prises, some good and some bad.

There IS no logic at all in paving North street and later tearing up part Of the street to put down sub ways. Nothing creates more ad- lerse comment than putting rne cart in front Of the horse in this manner. The city should find the few thousands necessary 10 put down the subways before the paving is started. Connections with the wires in the subways can come later. The main idea is not to dam age new paving with subway work after the paving is down.

 in Bennington Hospital

Bennington, Vt, July IT Pl-On his 20th birthday Frank Goldsbor- ough, whose father was lost on an attempted transatlantic flight, died a victim of a crashing plane in a, fog filled forest.
 The youthful aviator, who held junior transcontinental flight rec ords, passed away late yesterday at the Putnam Memorial hospital. He had failed to regain consciousness during the two days since the crash Monday noon on Woodford noun tain.
 Today the body was taken to New York city. by way of Albany. and was to arrive at noon. The Campbell funeral parlors. 66th street and Broadway. had charge of funeral ar- engagements.

DICTATORSHIP IN GERMANY

The latest political ruction in Germany. by which a dictatorship under the Weimor constitution is created, is an inevitable resul. of the lax system Of financial rela- tons between the central govern: ment and the states making up the nation, q condition which s. Parker Gilbert, in his final report as agent general for separations, declared would have 10 be readjusted to avoid chronic budget difficulties.
 Representatives of the people in the Reichstag are like politicians elsevhere-they dislike 10 vote for tax increases, especially when it Is possible to oppose increased taxes on political grounds,
 The government requires new tax levies in order 10 make both ends meet. Politicians refuse to provide the necessary votes 10 pass the in- creases in the ReiChstag. Under tht German system the federal govern ment carries the responsibility for the revenues spent by the states and municipalitis yet exercises no con- trol over their expenditures, This IS the dangerous condition that Mir. Gilbert referred to in his report. It IS as if the 48 American states and various large cities could initiate various costly public improvements and look 10 the Washington govern ment to pay for them, The result could easily be imagined.
 Under the Weimar constitution the president of the republic, in fac ing an emergency of any kind. may become a virtual dictator until the emergency is passed. Under this clause the functions of the Reichstag could be abrogated until the budget and taxing plan is put through. That. perhaps. is one way Of getting things done. After the dictatorship IS

ANY PRICE TO GET IT

When. during the Molien regime Of the New Haven railroad, the policy was to obtain a transportation monopoly in New England. extrava- gant prices were paid for various trolley lines, boat lines and what not That is what nearly put the railroad on the rocks
 One would think that corporations would learn; at least. that they would be in a better position 10 use sound judgment,
 Yet here is an item which shows that the Pennroad Corporation, k holding company created by the Pennsylvania Railroad. paid sl7o a share last Fall in order 10 obtain control of the Pittsburgh te West Virginia Railroad.
 IL was a little difficult for the h. terstate Commerce Commission 10 obtain this admission from the Tap lin interests, from whom the Penn road Corporation bought stock con- trol Of the comparatively small road; but the ]. C. C. was adsmant and now has the information.
 The stock thus bought was 20, . 93o shares.
 The high for the stock last year. in the open market-was s14S,75 g rhare: so that the Pennroad Corp cration, even during the boom, paid a substantial figure above what the stock was worth in the market.
 But the current quotation now is around s95 q share, so that the Pennroad Corporation loses nearly s1S.O0o,00o on the transaction,
 Why was it willing to pay such d nigh price for the road in the first place, and can anything be done with it 10 justify such a substantial loss Of stockholders money?
 Congress can do nothing better than 10 pass one more law-when if meets gain-enabling the Govern ment, through the I. C. C, 10 get al these railroad holding companies Their only purpose is 10 beat the law, to do things which the trans portation act and the antitrust act does not permit the railroads 10 dc directly.

the Senate would reject the nomina. ton forthwith.
 It is surprising that President Hoover ever thought of General Jadwin for this chairmanship. As an engineer and army officer nobody questions the ability and character of the general; but as the head of d power commission which would have a vast influence in shaping the gov ernment's power policies, especially in the administrative field, an en- gineer with an open mind on such questions as public vs. private oper- ation of power plants is needed. General Jadwin's views have never been hidden and he could not be ex- pected 10 change them had he become chairman of the Commission.
 The President must confine him self to nominations that will not provoke controversy in the Senate, if he would not prolong the present session of the Senate. Such prolong- ation Of itself would arouse hostility. Indeed, were a controversy pro- voked over the ratification of a pres idential nominee at the present ses- sion. it would become more difficult 10 maintain a quorum. which would delay or endanger the ratification Of the London treaty. In view of the possibilities for mischief through an injudicious nomination, the Pres ident has also withdrawn the nomination of R NJ. Jones Of Tennessee for the Interstate Com merce Commission,

ESCAPING ANOTHER REBUKE

Presid ent Hoover escaped another rebuke by the Senate when General Jadwin refused 10 be considered for the chairmanship Of the newly re- vamped Federal Power Commission. Rather than risk a refusal of the Senate 10 ratify the Presidents choice, General JadWin simplified the outlook by simply announcing he did not care 10 become the nominee. The President should thank good fortune or his lucky stars that he is thus saved the em- barrassment of another of his nominations being turned down by watchful Senate.
 General Jadwin has had a dis tinguished career in the army, and his connection with engineering pro- jects coming under it's Jurisdiction he has earned a high record for efficiency. But his views on water power developments coincide with those of the power interests; he op- posed government operation or Muscle Shoals, for which a majority of the Senate had voted; he also opposed utilization of the Great Falls of the Potomac, near Wash ington, for national park. saying it should be used for a private pow CT developments; he also has been critical Of the Boulder Dam project.
