The Proper Regard

New England cities and towns are justly
proud OF their natural surroundings. Few,
IL any. do not boast Of stately trees lining
their streets. gorgeous displays of roses or
other sl,rubbery, eolorful blossoms, and a
landscape most pleasing to the eye Or
course. OF recent years much OF the districts
former beauty as displayed in Nature, has
been covered up by the march OF progress
No longer do trce-lincd streets greet US on
every side. But fortunately Waterbury can
still ask the tourist TO note its central green.
50 common to New England, as fresh and
green as OF yore. It is as much a part OF
Us, as any familiar landmark.
For long years it has been our contention
that when our city fathers allow new Sec
tions Of the town to be developed there
should be strict attention paid to landseap'
ing. We know that many city has
ignored this little detail and has suffered as
a result. Others have insisted upon proper
development of the natural as well as
artificial in pushing out new streets Our
motto has always been that where one tree
Is cut down two should be planted to re-
place IL. This is not impossible in this day
and age. We have every facility at our com.
nnand for identifying our city streets. We
should certainly utilize them.
The Civies Group Of Hartford has just
submitted O letter to the Hartford Street
Board in which It calls attention to the city s
reputation for beauty. The specific purpose
Of the letter was to argue that in widening
street trees were cut down and none plant
ed to replace them where spots were avail
able. Il was requested that some attention
be given to this request. OF course, most
city streets today do not permit Of trees being
devoted TO the interest Of the motorist and
in part to the pedestrian. But where II is
feasible we think systematic tree planting
should be encouraged, even II it Is necessary
10 tsespass on private property to plant the
trees. Another tree never decreased any
property valuation.

American capitalists, according to Joy E.
Morgan, director of the National Education
Association, have sought to destroy eduea-
tional facilities for the masses and create a
caste system of peasants" He says;
America is in the midst of a struggle be-
tween democracy and caste system fostered
by the great financial ezars the gigantic
mechanical industries and the privately
owned utilities Even the most ethical
of big business men are of essen
TALLY undemoerate character" he adds. He
says their greed for large profits made posi-.
bic by highly mechanical industries, caused
unemployment and resulting depression.
These last two charges may be taken more
seriously than the first. 1t is as hard for
big business man to be really democratic
as for camel to go through the eye Of
needle. The skimming of too much cream
from the industrial milk, in the form of
dividends holding down the buying power
of wage earners and white-eollar workers
while production rose, was probably the
leading cause of depression,

New York - The Metropolitan

scarcely know where their next

apprehenslye little shivers when

popped up on the classical horizon.
For one thing, crowds are still
standing in long lines before the

ceiient grand opera IL being per-
| formed for IS to 90 cents admis-
sion by q cast built around some
stars OF the Chicago Opera Com
pany. For another thing, Mr.
George Blumenthal, who used TO
be associated with Oscar Hammer

OF Wagnerian Opera - at low

OF its stars, including Frances

The current successes ct the
