THE FREIGHT RATE INCREASE,

It is said that the railroads in New England will gain s40,0G6.000 year as result ot me increased freight rates allowed hv the Inter- state Commerce Commission the other day. This money will come from New England shippers direct ly.
 Bankers and security holders are said to be well pleased at the rate increase. Manufacturers and indus trial traffic chieftains are said 10 be greatly alarmed.
 One report has it that the Amer ican Hardware Corporation of New Britain will have increasing difficult " fn competing with Middle West ern hardware concerns. The local corporation. however. has a plant in the Middle West. 1T the situation IS as painted 1he western plant will be able to compete for western busi- ness 10 a greater extent than former- ly, while he New Britain plants will he at a disadvantage in competing with western plants for business in the West
 If freight rates are placed on 1 mileage basis, as the I. C. C. has tended 10 put them, it is self evident that New England manufacturers, being further distant from western consuming markets than good many competing plants, will be at disadvantage. But it must be re- mcmbered that a large consuming market lies in the East. and that there remain relatively cheap water rates from eastern ports to the [ Pacific coast.
 | We may lose something very sub stantial if rates go on this mileage basis, but we have consd erable left to our advantage.
 Tinkering with freight rates is a | more precarious business than tink- ering with the tariff.

AVOIDING THE CITIES

When the era Of good roads ar rived the first intention was to bind all the important cities with inn proved highways, so that motoring from one to the other would be facilitated. No one paused to con- sider the possibility that a motor ist might want 10 travel beyond the next szeable town and would ap- preciate a way 10 get around 1t without going through it,
 Hence, most Of our most import ant and well-traveled highways, r trails" etc,-the roads having fancy names-pass right through the cities. Motorists using them in variably find themselves tangled up in city traffic at frequent intervals, losing time and greatly taxing their patience.
 It was thought, too, that when such main highways passed direct ly through city it would provide tourist business. To negligible eX- tent this may be true. touring mo- torists sometimes stopping long enough Tn a small city to eat meals or devour ice cream sundaes. Lat terly they have been doing this right along the highways, however. where hot dog stands flourish as

ADVERTISING NEW BRITAIN

New Britain most assuredly re- ceiyed most gratifying attention in the July number of the Baltimore & Ohio Magazine Possibly at no time in the history Of the city has I publication that goes into between 10000 and S0.Ooo homes between the Atlantic and the Middle West awarded the Hardware City more bountlful space, the articles regard ing the city and it's attractions and industries being layishly illustrated
 Obviously his is an aftermath Of the Baltimore Gs Ohio day sponsor ed by the local traffic club last June 5, There have been other railroad traffic days held here in past years, and on all such occa- sions the chief executives of the railroads were guests of the power ful local club.
 Nothing ever resulted like the present magazine articles under discussion. Not only has the B. X o. a first class magazine for it's en- pioyes. but f is edited by skilled journalists who can take advantage Of an Opportunity for attractive dis play when they meet with one. The visit of President Daniel Willard and other Of his executives to the city yielded the opportunity; and with them came the editors Of the maga- zine, who "wrotc up" New Britain as it has never been done by an outside publication before.
 Such enterprise by railroad magazine is commendabIs. l. is q reflection Of the enterprise Of the railroad under the capable manage ment of Mir. Willard, native New Englander who has become the dean Of. American railroad presidents.

NEW WAYS FOR OLD

T. IS very likely that in the course of human progress. the plans e the New York Railways, the trolley corporation which attempts 10 serve the metropolis with street car service, for a change 10 buses will be permitted. In addition to substituting buses for it's thousands Of trolley cars, the company also plans to remove the trolley tracks from Broadway and Il other lead ing thoroughfares. The fve-cent fare would be retained. but the company hopes to obtain permis- sion to charge two cents for trans fers to certain other lines.
 Walking half way across a main street in New York and attempting to board a trolley car must be day traffic conditions. Once consid cred fast, the trolleys now lag be- hind all other traffic, scarcely ex- cIuding the trucks. The manage ment frankly admits that buses would speed up traffic and enable patrons to board and leave them near the curb.
 It is just another step, no douot, 10 indicate that the trolleys, even in the large cities. are on the down. grade. Only the best Of the inter city lines. serving cities of size,

frequently as filling stations.

First inkling that motorists would desire to avoid the congested cen ters when they travelled far came more than a decade ago, when the Lincoln Highway-first of the trans continental trails-was laid out to avoid passing through Chicago. It passes Chicago to the south, re- sulting in Windy City indignation.
 But most of our main highways are not so consderate to the motor ist
 What is happening IS that alternate routes, even when they involve the use Of ferries to cross streams, are growing in popularity.
 The Boston Post road passes through every city and town along its route. which under modern con- gested traffic conditions in the citix, IS a disadvantage.

But he did not pass through any city that could be possibly avoided. going down through New Jersey for instance and crossing the Delaware on a ferry.

 The day perhaps will soon arrive when many of the main highways will have loops, easily found, whicn will take all motorists comfort ably around the traffic consested cities, City traffic departments wholeheartcdly favor the plan. The state highway commission is said 10 be endeavoring 10 find a way to wind the Post road around Meriden 1 instead of going through that city; and if the same thing is done around New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford and the other cities along the route the improvement will be greatly appreciated. The day Is past when citizens Of the large cen ters delight in seeing foreign" cars pass through their streets, helping 10 congest the already scrambled traffic.

PREDICTS RAISES
 IN POSTAGE RATE
Postmaster General Will Urge
 Increase in December

Washington, July II P1Con- vinced that an increase in postage rates is the only feasible way of lift ing the worlds biggest public utility "out of the red" postal officials are preparing to press their advocacy of 8 higher charge for carrying first class mail.
 When Postmaster General Brown submits his annual report to con- gress in December, the enactment of legislation authorizing the in- crease is to be his most urgent rec ommendation. The postmaster be- lieves a rate of 2h cents an ounce on first class mail would balance the departments budget for the present.
 Assistant Postmaster General Til- ton, generally regarded as the finan- ciai expert of the department, said today an increase in the rate on let ter mail Is the only solution Of tho deficit problem. We see no other way out" Hilton said. If the public or congress sees one. we shall be SldU to nave lHtlH pOlllJ u Out.
 Last years postal deficit amount ed to s50.000,o00. Triton estimates it will run over ss0.0o0.oo0 this year. The present loss in handling the mails is now charge against the general funds of the treasury. Brown and Triton are of the opinion the post office department as a public utility should be self-supportins. the cost of operation to be borne by those ot serves rather than the tax paying public.
 The present rate on first class mail has been in effect since 1885. a situ- ation without parallel. Triton said, in any other line of business. If postage rates had been increasd to the average level of commodities, Brown explained, the first class rate today would be 3h cents an ounce. If the increase were in the same ratio as wages. the letter rate today would be seven cents he said.
