Here, There And Everywhere

native product is likely to go down.
This year 1t went down precipit-
ously, so that a horde of New Eng
land strawberry raisers decided
that 1t isn't worth their trouble to
market them; and then cool
weather started and the price ad-
vanced. BY now everything for the
natives is o. X. again until hot
weather arrives, when there may
be some more strawberry blues.
All of which Is another example
of how an uncontrolled economy
works. There are millions in the
cities who would like to eat more
trawberries; indeed. there are mill
lions who haven't eaten any at all
so far this season. Consequently 1t
can be said that there Is tremen-
dous market for them which Is I'M
touched. But strawberries In the
cities are regarded too much in the
nature of a luxury and prices really
never come down in proportion to
the low prices on the strawberry
patches. The moment there Is less
money to spend for "luxuries" in
the cities the demand for straw
berries descends; yet from the
standpoint of common production
they are not luxuries. When, like
this year. they are grown In pro-
fusion they should be food for all.

nations will go to find something new to
tax. Their resourcefulness in this direction
is really remarkable. The latest tax wrinkle
is one fathered by an official of New York
City. He proposes an income tax upon all
commuters from outside the city. not except
ing those from neighboring counties of his
own state. - Well the idea is original.
but then New Haven had fairly bright and
original idea itself this spring. 1t undertook
to tax property belonging to Yale University
which has long been rated as exempt
Strictly speaking it was West Haven. which
is distinct town in its own right, that
was laboring to tax the university. New
Haven collects annually good sum from
Yale, SO it could afford to allow nearby
towns to cut in on some of the coin of the
realm. But the Legislature saw differently
and Yale won't be taxed on exempt
property.

PARKING AT BEACHES
(Brideport Telegram)

(BrldepOrC IeleBrdH)
We do not know whether West
port was the very first town to
conceive the idea of restricting
parking rights near the towns
bathing beach. so that the towns
people should have first use of the
beach in preference to out-of-town
visitors. Westport either invented
the idea of controlling the beach
by limiting the parking, or was
among the very first towns to
adopt 1t.
However, the idea has spread
very rapidly. Other Connecticut
shore towns have taken 1t up. Citi-
zens and taxpayers are apt to show
signs Of irritation when they dis
cover themselves crowded from
their own beaches by visitors
whose motor car markers show
them to be out of the town and
Gin these parts) generally from out
of the state. The strangers contri-
butte nothing in the way of taxes to
maintain these beaches, and then
practically monopolize them in the
relatively brief swimming season.
The parking restrictions have
now spread to Massachusetts,,
where the residents of Swampscott,
Cohasset and Marblehead have re-
stricted the parking to keep their
beaches clear of strangers. Massa-
chusetts has many state parks with
fine bathing beaches and the gen.
eral public is welcomed at such
parks. The bathing restrictions
seem much less severe when pub
lie beaches are available. The
spread of the no-parking idea Is all
the more reason why Connecticut
should hasten to develop the shore
front parks to the fullest. Inland
jewellers will then have no real

to remedy much of the damage. The Red
Cross reports cheerfully. We are having
marked success in raising money for disaster
relief"
There has been no marked success IN
raising money for unemployment relief.
That has been a long, hard grind which is
growing harder now even as the recovery
gets under way. Swift. dramatic disasters
stir sympathy and understanding quicker than
slow misery. After all, a handful of coins
can accomplish much in relief of the former;
but it takes intelligence, constructive effort,
and great faith to conquer the causes of in
dustrial stagnation and human poverty.

The death of Rose Pastor Stokes in
Frankfort on he-Main, Germany, will re-
call to many Americans her rather stormy
career in this country. Always leader Of
radical outbursts Rose Pastor Stokes came
into conflict with the law on frequent oc-
casions. In fact, for obstructing the process
of the compulsory draft law during the
World War she was sentenced to 10 years
in Leavenworth penitentiary. President
Woodrow Wilson COMMITTED the sentence.
Her early life was spent in social service
work. 1t was then she was known as the
Rose of the Ghetto" and won for herself
a millionaire husband in James Graham
Phelps Stokes. 1t must be said of Stokes
that in their 20 years of married life he was
always her champion, more often than the
very people she was espousing.

opinion that the view will not be

unwelcome in Hartford country for

CITY ASSETS FROZEN
(Meriden Journal)

NMSIluCI Jouhhoit
Mayor Buckingham Of Bridge
port, who works for a dollar O
year in that role while at the same
time he is serving as compensa-
ton commissioner, expressed re-
sentiment in his annual message
the other day to the term bank
rupt". being applied to the finan-
cial condition of that city.
Similar objection was voiced by
Mayor O'Brien to having New
York city described as in that
plight, the implication in both
cases being that the cities have
ample wealth to back up their
enormous loans; that communities
with millions and billions in grand
lists cannot be bankrupts.,
Legally, they cannot, but, &C.
tually, they can, as demonstrated
by Chicago with all its millions In
properties and yet unable to pay
its running expenses and unable
to raise more money on it's assets
Those assets are frozen, just al
solidly as assets of business con.
Germs and individuals that canno,
be realized upon advantageouslyi
more so. in fact, for many grand
list assets are carrying their own
private debt burdens that are
greater than the principal could
be sold for.
Mayors fall into a common error
In considering public resources
as Mayor O'Brien did, when, after
being confronted with debt well
toward two billions. he remarked
that the city real estate is assessed
for more than IS billions. which
he termed ample security As q
matter of fact, the only security
was in the city's ability to collect
more taxes.
Such security Is necessarily
quite limited and mayors soon md
1t out when they persist In trying
to borrow themselves out of debt
inst cad of balancing their BUDGET.

Waterburys apathy towards the repeal
vote here Tuesday may be explained by the
lack of enthusiasm among the election
workers. Naturally it is hard to get some
body to work without an incentive. There
was none for the average man. However
it must be said to the credit of the demo-
cratic party that it did far more for the
election than any other faction that might
have been interested in the outcome of the
polling.

has had an opportunity to have

the time the southern product plays
out the native berries are ripe and

two things are likely to happen:
(a) The public may be tired OF
