nothing Incompatible between friendship
with the United States and membership
in the League of Nations. It is not we or
the League of Nations or any government
that has tied us with Europe. Geography
has done that"
So Britain wants to go along with the
League and at the same time go along
with us. This is difficult bit of strad-
ding, but perhaps not impossible. Amer
lea and the League may be about equally
important to her. And we, in recent
wears, have actually been cooperating
about equally with both, while having no
official bond with either.
There could be no possibility of an off
cial alliance with the British, but friendly
cooperation in matters of mutual interest
may naturally strengthen. The United
states and the British Empire today are
of about equal power and Importance IN
the world, and of about equal Importance
to each other, and the bonds of race, Ian
Suage and culture are strong. There
should be at least no possibility of enmlty
between us.

Great things are expected when the
1886 motoring season rolls around. For
then Connecticut's new motor fees Will 60
into effect. Registration on all motor
vehicles, including trucks, will undergo
q very healthy reduction, something that
has been urged and pleaded for over
long period of years. The system OF levy
ing taxes on motor cars will also DC
changed. Connecticut no longer Will use
piston displacement as means OF estlmat-
ing charges, relying instead on weight.
The date of expiration of licenses is also
changed, the 1886 motorist protltlng
thereby, as his present license will not
expire now until two months later than 1t
would normally. From 1886 on reglstra-
lions will be renewed as of the last Gay
of February. There is sound policy IN this
change, as well as in reducing the costs u
the motorist. In company with change
in the date of registration will be slmi-
lar one with regard to issuance OF the
operators license.
But all is not gold that glitters in those
reduced fees. To compensate for loss or
revenue in the motor vehicle department.
receipts for which take care OF the state
highway department, too, there VIII be
0ne-cent increase In the gaSOllne lax ITO"
imposed by Connecticut. We have been
uaying two cents to the state. Starting
in 1886 we will pay three cents. Coupled
with the one-cent federal gasoline tax this
will mean four cents of the price for every
gallon of gasoline must be set aside on re-
tailer's books for tax purposes. There IS
a chance, though, that the federal tax may
be dropped before then, as government
nuisance taxes expire this month.
This slight increase of one cent in the
gasoline tax seems insignificant, doesn't
Il? Figure out some day how many gal
Ions of gasoline your car consumed In
wear. That's the test of how much one
cent tax means in your annual automobile
up-keep bill. If the difference doesn't
lust about correspond to what has been
taken off your registration bill, then
the shrewd legislators and officials who
figured out the measure that was ulti-
mately passed by the General Assembly
were very much off on their computations.
You'll find out, though, that they weren't.
The average motorist may think ne Is
gaining by reduction in registration
fees. Actually he will pay about the same
in his motor bills.

No New Federal Taxes

Congress is inclined to stand pat on Its
tax system. There is to be new tax bill,
because the present temporary nuisance
taxes" expire at the end of this month;
but the present plan Of the House Ways
and Means Committee is merely to continue
these taxes without imposing any new
ones. They are producing abnormal rev.
enue of about $400,000,000 year.
It isn't likely that many taxpayers ex-
pected a release from these "nuisances".
There is general feeling that people are
getting off rather easily with them as the
only addition made to federal taxation in
the last two years, in spite of vast relief
expenses.
It is recognized by the public that 1T
will be necessary eventually, possibly next
wear. to raise the federal income tax rates
and perhaps clap on new Inheritance taxes,
to balance the emergency budget and start
whiting down the national debt. But it
depends largely on the state of business.
If conditions improve greatly in the next
wear or two, present tax rates will raise
far more. If it doesn't, rates must rise
sharply. Meanwhile standing pat on cur
rent income tax rates makes it little
easier for taxpayers to pay their private
obligations and is probably good for
business.

Something really ought to be done about
this. It isn't enough that little Finland
should get the editorial commentator of
every newspaper in the United States
when June and December 18th roll around
and she announces that her war debt pay
ment will be made. There ought to be
more than that. It's an occasion today
when an European nation recognizes
lust debt to the United States. Not mere
" do we think the day on which Finland
pays her share of her debt should be set
aside as one of rejoicing but we think that
solle sort of national memorial ought to
be erected in honor of the one country that
is with honor. We think hundred mil
lion Americans would agree on this. Fin
land ought to be publicly thanked with
appropriate ceremonies in which the whole
nation might join.

COOKE AND HOPKINS STREET
CORNER A MENACE
TO TRAFFIC
Waterbury, Conn.,, ,

June -, 1895.
Editor Of The Democrat: ,,'''
I think it is about time that the
attention of police officials is
brought face to face with existing
traffic conditions on Cooke street
where that street intersects Hop,
kins street. This corner has for
some time been a hazard to motor
lists using this thoroughfare. The
street in itself is narrow enough
without 1t being further condensed
by the pressure of parked automo-
biles On both sides of the street.
When this occurs there is barely
room. for one automobile to pass
yet there is IL steady stream Of cars
giong hack and forth at all times.
OF course there are stores there,
which fact necessitated the pres
ence of vehicles but. while Cooke
street lie being tangled up In wild
conglomeration of autos, trucks
and BUSES, Hopkins street remains
blissfully void of all vehicular traf-
fic. ~ fl
/ think that a suitable way of
relieving present conditions at this
point would be to permit parking
on but one side of Cooke street for
patrons Of these stores located
there aid the remaining vehicles
such as delivery trucks should he
forced 10 use the empty Hopkins
street. This plan would permit a
free end unhindered passage at
this point and yet 1t would not in
jure in any way the trade OF these
markets.
Whit do you think of this plan?
Better to alleviate such conditions
before the present hazard grows
any greater.

Waterbury, Conn.,,
June 10, 1895.
Editor, The Democrat:
Mr.. George L. Ayotte wrote APP
proximately 208 lines Of Ave words
each in defense of the National
Union for Social Justice. This
connection of verbiage appears in
Wednesday evenings issue Of The
Democrat. One thousand and forty
words used to say very little more
than nothing! What Is It, Mr..
Ayotte-- race with the Crusaders
to establish an endurance gassing
record?
why should Mr.. Ayotte complain
that the American hasn't published
certain OF his articles? On two oc-
casions have written. and had
published, letters attacking Cough
Inns 10 points, and his wordiest
champion, in waterbury, has re-
manned silent. So far as the Amer
lean 10 concerned am sure that
1t would print Mr.. Ayotte's letters.
The fact may be that they became
lost in the shuttle Of business. One
Of my own found the same fate.
Why should Mr.. Ayotte deplore
poverty? Has not the clergy in
dustriously cultivated the attitude
that we should spend this life in
preparation for the next? His EN-
inence William Cardinal O'Connell,
OF Boston, very recently stated that
poverty is best for US. At least be
consistent Mr.. Ayotte, and pay heed
to the counsel of the Christian
clergy! Lack of this worlds goods
is far less serious than the lack OF
perception.

one to see across the Atlantic and
into Sweden but If one could, old

Apparently the strongest appeal
which the N. u. 8. j. makes to Mr..
Ayotte IL the asserted eight million

there Is very little proof that they
were right. Don't overlook the
