Washington - A hot and bitter battle will be fought here this winter over the demand for cash ing of the soldiers bonus certifi- cates.
 On the one side will be the vet- erans, their organizations now sol idly, behind the proposal, worked up to a new pitch of grim determ- ination to get that two-billion- and-more dollars.
 On the other side will be the most formidable opposition ever encountered by piece of vet erans' legislation.
 In between will be congress, ordinarily spineless in the face of veteran demands. No one can tell what conditions will be like next winter or how effectively the pro- bonus and anti-bonds forces will organize in the meantime, but it is a good guess that the veterans will not be able to achieve their de- mand by persuading both houses to pass the measure over a presi- dential veto.
 The cash bonus bill passed the house at the last session and failed in the senate, so it didn't evef, reach the White House, where President Hoover stood ready to veto it.
 Then the bill didn't have the support of the American Legion, which has now voted overwhelm- -ingly for it. Nor was the distress of unemployed veterans as acute as 1t may be this winter. That dis tress has been the main factor be- hind the increasing pressure to cash certificates which are not payable until 1s46.
 On the other hand, this congress in it's second session will not be facing season. of primary and election campaigns. It will be a lame duck session, full of defeated members who will have, for the time being at least, little to lose by voting their convictions and per- haps something to gain by falling in 1ine behind President Hoover in his opposition.
 It is not unlikely that this time the anti-bonus group will be able to exert political pressure of its own. Furthermore, in view of un- employment distress, many mem bers will object more vigorously than ever to voting relief for the veterans at the expense of the rest of the population.

There will be at least three new faces in the Connecticut congressional delegation after the November elections regardless of results. Representative Lonergan of Hart ford is dropping out of the race. since he is the democratic senatorial candidate, His successor will either be Colonel Clarence W. Seymour, republican, or some democrat not yet nominated. Colonel Tilson in the third district, likewise, is dropping out of Congress. He retires to private life and Tad Jones or Mayor Maloney will re- place him. The post of eongressman-at- large will introduce the third new face. Three representatives seek reelection Tier ney. democrat, .Goss and Freeman. republi- cans. The first two are unopposed for nomi- nation. The latter is.

 New Englanders returning from Canada report an odd money situa- ton that resolves itself into the query. When is twenty dollars not seems to De, wi en 1t is gold.
 An American $20 bill presented at a Canadian hank will be ex- changed into $z2.4O in Canadian money. But. for a 920 American gold piece the visitor will receive only s20 in Canadian bills, which is equivalent to $i7.eo in American
 This Is fantastic finance, as dis. tinsuished from the frensied finance that we have been accus- toned to here at times. and results in promise 10 pay in gold being held more valuable than the gold Itself. Herein lies tho explana- ton: Canada is still on the sold standard theoretically. Therefore, its paper money is on q parity with gold. But there is . dinerenee fn exchange between Canadian and United states currency and while | the American gold piece will brins exactly ego in Canadian money an American bill 6f that amount will bring q premium of $40.

 However in Speaking of "com-- muting" on this highway we have indicated the way in which the. problem of toll would probably be handled, and that is, by the is- suance of communication tickets, or preferably, markers to be affixed to cars. These markers might be good for month, six months, or a year. They would be sold at reduced rates and would tentitle the bearer to unlimited use of the highway for the time in question. Daily users of the roads would purchase such markers and afiix them to their cars, while transients would pay cash at toll gates.
 The fixing of tolls would require much study and thought in order to devise a system that would be flexible, and fair to all users of the highway. However the problem is not an insuperable one and it is closely related to the fixing of communication fares on a railroad. The principal thing is to get this highway built promptly and to have the users pay for 1t, thus di- verting any extra burden from the general taxpayers. That the users would be glad to pay for it, con- sidering the relief 1t would give them, seems to be the consensus of opinion.

There is constantly much talk about elim- mating glareless headlights on automobiles. The manufacture of most cars however. has progressed to the point where the lights. to our way of thinking are not so objee- tionable as another feature and that is the windshield. Most lgihts can be controlled SO that drivers are not blinded. But the glass windshield when covered with dust or water becomes a magnifying glass for any kind of headlight. When manufacturers reetfy this condition by some process dis tinet forward step will have been taken.

Judging by the manner in which he has acquitted him. self in office to date New York could do far worse than keep him in ofhee. He has shown tendency not to minee matters but to act for the interests of the tax-payers.
 And if New York wouldn't like this type of administration for a change then some thing is radically wrong with the big city.

TOLLS ON THE MERRITT ROAD
Bridgeport Telegraph

tDriueSporI ASieBiahI
 A Bridgeport business man who approves heartily of the idea of building the Merritt Highway at once and operating it as a toll road until paid flor, raises this pertinent question:
 What system of tolls can be de- vised to take care of those who use only part of the road. as contrasted with those who use 1t from end to end?"
 Admittedly there are practical difficulties in the way of any sys4 tenn of collecting tolls on this high way, since there will be lateral roads leading to and from 1t at every town and city through which |it passes. It must Do conceded fur- ther that it would be unfair to charge the same toll for q man who used it daily for committing between Bridgeport and Norwaik, as for n man who commuted be-
