IMPROVING WEST MAIN

This being q year when all man. ner of public works are expected to he attempted m line with President Hoover's call 10 states and municl- qualities 10 do their best to provide employment for outdoor workers 1t is natural that New Britain IS falling n line as best it can.
 The plan 10 repare West Main street, from Liberty street to Black Rock avenue. follows out the lnten- lions which were voiced at the time the better pavement was put down along part Of the boulevard several years ago.
 At the time it was said that the old pavement which was left un- g disturbed except for patchwork here and there. could not last many years. At one time an experiment was made relative to placing top dress ing upon the bricks for part Of the way; and though this experiment was more or less satisfactory, it can- not be said that f has given any thing like the satisfaction incident to 8 new paving.

LETTING GEORGE DO IT

Mayor Qulgley the other day put forward the interesting contention that citizens should be more inter- ested in what officials do after they are elected, The idea IS not new. Complaint has been general for years that citizens are inclined to let George do 1t if George happens to De the oficlal who got elected Some times. as the mayor hints, many citizens do not know what the pub lie issues are all about,
 r is possible, however. that the assumption citizens do not show sufficient interest in politics after an election may be in error Citizens al least talk about public issues; one hears such conversations almost on on every hand But private converse tions about local politics may not necessarily reach the ears Of officials If the latter heard all that was spok- en by the general citizenry they would be inclined to complain tl1al people take entirely too much inter- est in politics, and that after an cleo ton such important matters should be left to the dear peoples accredit- cd epresentatlves assembled in City Hall.

 The North and the South Poles have been conquered; the Atlantic has been flown by airplanes; almost every obstacle to human courage has been successfully encountered. But there are hundreds of mountains on the globe which have never yet been scaled by humans, and they continue to offer defiance to the sportsman.
 For mountain climbing is d sport. and little else It should not be at tempted by novices, such as the youth was who lost his life in Cali fornia The most skilled Of mountain climbers have failed ignominiously against some Of the highest peaks; what chance has the foolish person who would substitute determination for experience and skill?

s1o. .nnn. .ooO. 900 CONGREss2

Is the country faced with its first Ten Billion Dollar Congress?
 Here are rhe facts:
 Total appropriations during the first two sessions ot the present sev- enty-frst congress came to well over s5.0oo0Qoo If appropri- ations at the next session Of the seventy-frst Congress for 19312 equal those made for 193o-1. this will become the countrv's first ten billion dollar Congress,
 Nothing has progressed as swift ly as the speed with which Congress has grown as q money dispensing ~ agency. even in times of peace. The : first Congress 10 make appropria- tions Of over one billion dollars in time of peace was the ffty-second - Congress r991-3). When this Con sress was dubbed the Billion Dol lar Congress. Thomas B. Reed. then Republican leader and later speak CT Of the House Of Representatives, retorted: This IS billion dollar country"
 But there is a silver lining 70 the dark cloud Of expenditures As one commentator puts if.
 The fact that This Congress will appropriate ten billion dollars does not mean that the country is ac- tuaIly sponding that much in two years. Included in the ten billion are the two-year postal expenditures of almost one and one-half billions. over s per cent o- which are met by postal revenues. Also included are the annual retirement Of the public debt Uoward which about s200,00G,90o comes from foreign Government for war debt payments) and various other expenses met wholly or partly by receipts. The actual expenditures which must be met by direct and indirect taxation come to between seven and eight billion dollars bI-annualy. or about s3.T50. .000 900 every year.
 It is all a matter of bookkeeplng, but the figures on the hnes are alarming.

to permit the New Haven to add s75,0oo,0 900 to it's capitalization for rate-making purposes.
 The I. c. c. contention is correct. It is, in short, that rentals paid for the use of terminals not owned by a railroad are part of operating ex- penses and as such must be deduct ed from gross revenue before net in come can be figured.
 The New Haven would have such terminal charges capitalized and rates charged on the watered stock.
 AS long as the l. c. c. is actuated by common sense and insists upon logical bookkeeping practices the New Haven hasn't a Chinaman' s chance to attain it's end. All that will result are fat fees for it's lawyers: which incidentally are added to operating expense.

-O.O.McInfyre

call was for a time German head built, and offers the spic and span newness of one of those Kansas prairie stops on the Sante Fe. Mons will fill a niche in my memory as the last stand of the old-time livery stable. 1 came across it in proving up a side street. It offered all the old familiar odors, a side 'front of flee. a whip and harness room and is the only institution I ever saw of it's kind that sported an electric sign. In Mons, as in all other Belgian vil- lages, there are no front yards. All the houses are flush on the side walk. You get the idea Belgian wives are real housekeepers.
 There was a great to-do in Brus- sels upon our arrival. Everywhere the national colors were flying, bands playing. and from thousands of throats came the cry of ''Nive la Belge." I misinterpreted the cry at first and was very embarrassed. l thought Brussels had turned out to pay respects to the results of my luncheon time shot of bi-carbonatc of soda. But it subsequently, devel- oped all Belgium was honoring the centennial of it's independence.
 I wonder if everybody entering Brussels at some time or other does not think of Edith Cavell, the mar tyred English nurse?

COMMUNICATED
Naming the Parks of the City
 New Britain, Conn4 July IS, 1880.


 New Britain, Coma
 July IS, 1930.
 I have read with considerable in- terest and some apprehension the various items that have recently ap- peared in the columns of the Her. aid" in reference to remaining some of our parks, particularly, Will low Brook Park.
 Where is it going to stop?
 The name Willow Brook Park" taste, and as a citizen and taxpayer, l am strenuously opposed to any change in name.
 After all. this is the United States of America, and l, for one. prefer to have my children brought up in an environment as nearly American as possible.
 When immigrants come to The most wonderful country in the world" to make their home, they tacitly agree to become Americaniz- ed and to accept American aims and ideals; let them accept the names of our public parks as well.
 If the parks are to be named after War Heroes" we have plenty of our own to choose from without go- ing into foreign fields.
 I sincerely hope that the. time will soon come when the naming of tha parks will be in the hands of the park board, in which case we can feel assured of American names for American institutions.
 After ail we, American born, have some rights in the matter, and I be- lieve it is high time we took a def- mite stand lest we wake up some morning and find ourselves with a list of park names that will read like Cooks Tour of Continental Europe"
 1 trust that every American" in our city will voice his opposition to this movement.
 If parks are to be named after prominent men, let them be prom inent Americans of whom we have had a great many.

Local politics, too, have other species Of politics to compete with ln pubic interest. No local politician should be so highly imbued with the importance Of what he is engaged in as 10 think that local issues will pre- clude interest in state and national affairs, not 10 mention the interest irg items Of a political nature which happen in various other states.
 To a local politician, 3. local issue. even when it only applies to a small item or somebody's political job. looks more important than a battle between the President Of the United States and the Senate. But 1t is scarcely likely that the general citi- zen. not having his eyes blinded by self-interest in politics, will think some ordinary happening or issue in City Hall at all compares with some international imbroglio being weigh ed and analysed by the wise heads in Washington, and which some how gets first page attention in the papers while the politicians idea of something to get excited about goes inside with the also-ran news.

h this age the common run Of citizen suffers vastly greater de- mands being made upon his time and thinking than in any other period of the Republic. The distrac- tions. 10 use q trite expression, are manifold" Whereas in the early days of the Republic the man amusement seems to have been to gather Of an evening at some gen. eral store at the cross roads and dis cuss politics, this species of mental relaxation is all but gone. What the folks do nowadays is to go auto mobile riding and the old car gives almost every owner plenty to think about besides politics. Those who don't use the car during all their spare time go to the movies or Iis- ten 10 the radio or butter in the sarden-anything but grow excited oFer local politics.
 Yet there are weighty local mat ters requiring attention-as the Mayor has hinted. But some Of thesc issues are complex and even experts disagree Many are technical in nature. The average citizen, not be- ing an engineer prefers to let his officials attend to the intricate af- fairs of government. That IS what they are elected for.

THE FARMING QUAGMIRE

Not for many years have there been such bountiful crops. The en- tire countryside from the Atlantic to the Pacific smiles under the benign influence of q kindly nature. Yet the farmers and growers Of these crops are not satisfied.
 For large crops mean plenty Of produce and food, and a plenitude Of things from the farm 10 eat means a glutted market. Hence prices are low. The jam in the wheat belt is particularly trying to both the grow CTS and the national administration Farmers are inclined to blame some of their trouble upon the admins tration, particularly in view of the creation Of the Federal Farm Board and its promises of farm re- lief"
 The only kind of relief the Farm Board is promising at this juncture IS advice to the farmers to grow less by curtailing acreage.
 Farmers are intensely individual istic. They believe they have a right 10 grow as much as they can. This has been the accepted tenets in the farm districts for hundreds of years. Why should there be change to- ward cooperative curtailnent Of production now?
 Yet that IS exactly what other in- dusties have been doing whenever there has been a larger output than i the market could absorb, The gov ernmental advice, therefore, can be l accepted as sound, though 1t seems 1 impossible 10 convince farmers of its soundness President Hoover will | take trip to the West shortly and it is expected he will etpound this type of logic; but he may have no greater success than other adminis- tratlon spokesmen before him.
 It seems difficult to take the gamble out Of industry; and particu- larly not out of the farm intustry, When there are crop failures, due 10 the wrong kind of weather, prices are high but farmers lack enough to sell to take advantage of the high prices; when there is splendid growing weather and crops are bountiful, prices sag and the farm CTS do not get much more than dur ing a crop failure.
 There is a golden middle way that IS being sought, and which car come only through nation wide CO., operation. But that is a difficult thing 10 achieve, and the Farm Board is finding exactly the type oi trouble that had been anticipated by those conversant with the mental attitude Of soil-tillers.
 Meanwhile the farmer In tho West who bought his land years age when prices of land were compara- lively cheap, and who did not mort gage his land during the boom ir order to buy neighboring high priced land, is far better off thar his competitors. He at least has nc heavy capitalization on which tc pay interest, eating up his profits and causing him 10 work solely fol his health.
 Incidentally, the satisfaction oi being engaged in a healthful em. ployment is the only substantial re. turn many a farmer will receive this year.

Perhaps the general citizen well remembers the claims frequently made in the past that this is d representative government and that the voters elect men to represent them whose duty it Is to devote the necessary time to a study of the troubles of the city or nation. The average voJers meanwhile busy themselves in more pleasant paths. There is much sense in the argu- ment, too.
