Value For Money

Some fears have been expressed that, as
business improves. quality Of goods will
deteriorate. especially under the pressure of
rising production costs and emphasis on
holding down prices. The depression itself
tended to lower the quality of various goods.
to meet the reduced buying power Of con-
sumers Are we to face this danger on big
scale?
Probably not. Cheap goods there are in
the market - plenty Of them. in many lines.
Yet it must be said that on the whole. even
with prices rising somewhat the buyer
finds today better value for his money than
he has had in many years. This is true
notably of automobiles. tires and gasoline.
1t is true of radio sets, of washing machines
and refriserators and other appliances of
many kinds. Clothing shoes. hats. furni-
ture. rugs. curtains and innumerable other
products of manufacturing are bargains at
todays prices. and will very likely be bar
gains still at the prices of next fall and next
winter.
The reason is no mystery. Raw materials.
though rising. are still cheap compared with
cost averages over many years. Manufaetur-
ing processes have been improving right
along. Manufacturers. forced to cut costs,
have learned to produce more eheaply. The
government is using unprecedented authority
to avoid undue price-raising. And price
control itself will promote competition
through quality.

Well, it looks like wet summer from

old St Swithin. We had enough rain on
Saturday. July Is. to satisfy the old bishop.
He certainly must have turned over in his
grave in far away England. And If he
didn't. there was enough said about him
and the ancient legend in this country to-
make up for it. We often wonder If other
countries devote the same amount Of time
and space as do our newspapers in keeping
alive old customs and old stories like that

others. Somehow or other we'd be lost If
we couldn't have our annual tales.

Safer America

The National Safety Council has a right
to feel proud. With its report for last year.
it finished 20 years of work for the promo
ton Of safety. In those two decades there
were 100000 deaths from accidents In
the United States. More than one-fourth
of that total resulted from motor accidents.
The total number Of accidental deaths in
1882. however. was 5000 less than in
1881 and the lowest since 1924. Some Of
the decrease. doubtless particularly indus
trial and automobile accidents. must be
credited to the depression. With fewer fac
tories operating and fewer cars on the road.
fewer accidents may be taken for granted.
Yet the persistent and thorough educational
work conducted by the Council has helped
greatly to teach people. especially children,
wise caution.
That there is much room for further edu-
cation is shown by the fact that deaths from
accidents in the home. supposedly haven of
security rank second in number to the motor
fatalities. There were $4,000 such deaths
last year. In nearly all classes Of accidents.
the totals were down. In one field alone
was the report for 1892 just as bad as ever.
That was in accidental deaths from firearms.
Hunting seasons still bring down as great a
number of human victims as ever. The game
killed is paid for with high toll of human
life. Are sportsmen beyond the reach Of the
National Safety Councils effortsl

Still Criticized

Despite the fact that. as Chief Justice
William M. Maltbie of the Supreme Court
points out. there were some very good APP
pointments made to the minor courts of the
state this spring, the system of allowing the
Legislature to name the judges remains
vicious one. In recent address in Hartford
the chief justice praised highly the district
court system which has met with short shrift
at the hands of our legislators in the past
two sessions It was hoped that the mere
fact that the democrats controlled one house
of the General Assembly might make some
change this year. but as in 1881 the bill
creating the district court system was de-
feated.
We have no Intention of waging battle
here for the proposed change in our minor
courts. We have done so on previous ac-
casions when we thought the moment was
opportune. Anything we said now would
be completely forgotten by 1895 when the
Legislature meets again. Nothing can be
done about the situation now save to arouse
public opinion to the point where it will
force the Legislature ito accede to its de-
mands And that will perhaps not be two
yG3Lo 0euee VI eVeu lOuI' ~ 10 SOiIS W
take a mighty upheaval to change our
method of naming minor court judges so
long as our present system of political gov
eminent exists. But it does no harm from
time to time to keep the district court idea
in mind.
Here is what Chief Justice Maltbie said
IN the course of his remarks last week.
"Judgeships were pareeled out by political
leaders to parties or factions. showing the
system to be vicious even though some very
good appointments may have been made.
Such a show of favoritism undoubtedly
lowers the tone of the courts. The minor
courts. in spite of their appellation. are
still probably the most important courts in
Connecticut. because people get their APP
probation of justice from these more than
from any other courts and. of course. the
impression upon people most in need of be-
ing shown that our government is earnest
in its desire to establish justice. is of the
utmost importance. -"

Business Depression Can't
Cure Itself

The American people are being given the
chance this summer to make one OF the
most colossal mistakes imaginable. Business
Is reviving more rapidly than we had
thought possible. Factory ehimneys are
smoking again. trains are moving. men are
going back to work; and the very speed with
which all Of this is happening carries with
il danger which is very real even if it is
not obvious.
Our chance to make mistake lies simply
in this: because things are picking up so
rapidly. we may conclude that the altera-
tons which have been outlined for our in
herited economic framework are unnecessary.
We may. in other words. delude ourselves
into thinking that the normal processes"
of business recovery will put people back to
work. restore buying power and bring back
prosperity unaided.
According to the classical theories Of
economics, that is precisely what ought to
happen. But already it is becoming evident
that unless our industrial machine is held
under strict and intelligent control. we shall
merely be gathering momentum for new
plunge into the ditch. And one more plunge
would Just about finish the machine. and its
riders as WELL
The successful working of our traditional
system depends entirely on the impetus sup
piled by the profit motive. In the last
few weeks the profit motive has impelled
industry to adopt certain tactics which must
inevitably betray any recovery which is
made. Retail prices are rising faster than
wages. Production is outstripping employ
ment. Manufacturers are hurrying to pile
up surplus stores of goods before higher
wsges 60 into effect. The diehards are pre-
pairing to fight organized labor. The bust
ness pickup has caused certain industries to
grow cold on the industrial control plan.
Now these developments do not indiet the
individuals responsible; they indct the ira
dihonal economic system under which these
individuals have to operate. They reveal
in it flaws which must be fatal unless they
are corrected. If we let ourselves be per-
suaded that the depression is going to end
automatically so that these eorreetives are
not needed, we shall have nothing but
trouble. We need to remember every min
ute that the dawning recovery cannot be
permanent or healthy unless very real re-
strsint is put upon the scramble for profits.

The Connecticut Forest and Park Asso-
citation with headquarters at 2l5 Church
street. New Haven. has just issued its 1888
maps of the trail systems in this state. While
more and more people are becoming familiar
with the "blazed" trails that this association
through its wide membership is pushing
through our forests. across our hills. up and
down our valleys. there is still great num-
Der to whom the trails mean very little.
Here at our very finger tips is an excellent
opportunity to acquire the needed relaxation
that the steady grind Of our present day life
demands. Nothing is more soothing to the
nerves than a bit of the great outdoors.
Nowhere has nature been more lavish in
dispensing her gifts than In New England.

posal was made. Our growing trail sys-
